...could look the length and breadth of his see for some remarkable achievements. During the last two decades, the Catholic population of the New York archdiocese (including Manhattan, The Bronx, Staten Island, and seven suburban counties) grew 50% to 1,558,328; the number of auxiliary bishops had risen from one to nine; the number of elementary and high schools had increased from 307 to 412; tireless Fund Raiser Spellman has chalked up $41,322,074 through his annual fund appeal for Catholic Charities.

...secondary schools represented, a record number. Geographically, at least, Harvard is becoming more "national" in character. In the class of '56, 44 per cent of the students were New Englanders; in the class of '62 only 29 per cent. While New England has dropped, the Middle Atlantic States have risen slightly, as has the South and Far West...
