Biographical Information
This photograph was used in the Aquinas Institute Yearbook (1924). In the yearbook, one of F.X. Cullinan's fellow students wrote, "Frank is a philosopher, a friend, one deeply interested in
Latin classes, humorous and a believer in the saying, 'Think first before you speak' which he follows out not only in English but in all his classes. He tries to tell us he doesn't study but his records show otherwise. He aspires to be a ball
player, and if he enters that profession with the same eagerness he has shown in his studies, tell Everett Scott to look out for his record. The Senior Class wishes you the greatest success, Frank."
 His baseball career was not to be, and he entered the Jesuit order on August
14th, 1925. His promising life came to an abrupt and sad end on September 25th, 1930, when he drowned in a lake near Woodstock, Maryland, where he was attending the Jesuit Seminary.
"He was considered a man of unusual holiness (--Rev. John D. Garvey, s.j., Rochester NY)."
