This advertisement appeared in the Washington-Baltimore
edition of the March 22, 1968 issue of TIME, The Weekly
Newsmagazine.
They are building Marist College with their own hands - for the
chance to build men with their own hands.
These dedicated Marist Brothers started a brick - by - brick success
story at Marist College long before the first student sweated an exam in
1957. Designing, mixing, hoisting, painting - supplying the muscle as
well as the money - they built Marist College.
First grew the Gymnasium/Auditorium in 1949 with a saving of
$124,000 in costs. Next, the do - it - yourselfers sliced $142,000 from
the cost of the campus chapel. Soon after came the dormitory,
administration building, student lounge, classroom and library building.
By 1960, the Brothers had completed six major construction projects for
$1,345,000 - saving the school $1,709,000 in costs. Now they've got a
ten - year expansion plan in the works, and they need your financial
help.
WHY DO THEY DO IT?

One reason - to teach. They offer a challenge and an opportunity for
intellectual, social, moral, and physical improvement.
Twelve hundred students take up this challenge every year to reach their
fullest potenial in both their public and private lives.
This is the real labor of Marist college, the building of men.

From the beginning, Marist Heritage has been a collaborative effort.
We appreciate the contributions of the Marist Brothers and the Marists All
community, who by supplying information and personal memories, have given vitality,
scope and depth to this project
Under the guidance and direction of Dr. Brian Henry Desilets, the initial web pages
were designed and created by the following Marist College students: Michele van
Brero (Hermitage, St. Peter's, Kieran Gate House, Greystone, Marist Brothers
Builders, Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Chapel).....Tage Haun (Bech Homestead, Marian,
Donnelly).....Fang Fang Xu (Boat House, Byrne House, Kirk House).....Courtney Gutt
(Bech Family History).....Vij lyer (Cemetery).....Rahkee Chopra (Fontaine Hall).
All the final Marist Heritage web pages were either created, revised, rewritten
and/or reshaped by John Patrick Noone, who is solely responsible for any errors
contained therein.
We thank Richard Branigan for proofreading the Marist Heritage web pages.
We recognize the contributions of our consultants: John Ansley for his input on the
format and contents of the various web pages. Also Victor VanCarpels for his
frequent consultations and guidance in the graphics included in this CD. His
patience and dedication while working with us made the overall results more
professional.
We are grateful to Barbara McMullen for the use of the Ecommerce facility at Marist
College.
We are indebted to the McCann Foundation which provided the funds necessary to make
this project a reality.
