Poughkeepsie cemetery 2

Item

Description

This photo shows a group of lacrosse families celebrating a game in March 2010. It may seem sacriligeous to some of us, but I remember that when I traveled in Switzerland and Italy, it was customary for families to visit cemeteries for lunches near the graves of their departed ones. The monument is located on the plaza in front of the McCann Center, and is passed by students on their way into the center for basketball games. This location is often visited by students and visitors to campus, and stands as a permanent reminder of those Brothers who were instrumental in bringing into being the College and the other operations of the Brothers throughout the United States.
