yers who are to-day rising into prominence
in the city of Springfield, Massa-
chusetts, Patrick Francis Burke, Jr., de-
serves prominent mention for the rapidity
with which he has won recognition in
legal circles and because of his strong

of that race. He is a son of Patrick
Francis Burke, Sr., and of Bridget (Sulli-
van) Burke, his wife.
Mr. Burke, Sr., was a native of Ire-
land, and there his childhood was passed.
As a mere youth, however, he migrated
to this country and settled in the town of
Thompsonville, Connecticut, where he
became an employee of the Carpet Mills
and worked his way up until he was a
boss dyer in the plant here. Still later he

of the following children : Walter A.,
who is now engaged with his father in
his business in Thompsonville ; Patrick
Francis, Jr., mentioned below ; May, who

Francis A., who is now a student in Holy

latter institution he matriculated at Holy
Cross College, from which he was gradu-

degree as Bachelor of Arts. His career
in this college established for him an
excellent reputation for scholarship and
general good character, and he won the
approval and friendship not only of his

faculty and teaching staff. In the mean-

law his profession, and accordingly in the
same year as his graduation from Holy
Cross, he entered the law school in con-
nection with Yale University. Here he
studied the required three years and was
graduated in 191 3 with the degree of
Bachelor of Laws. Immediately after-
