THE LOYOLA ANNUAL 17 A. Ktlip, S . 3 Rev. Stephen A. Kelly, S. J., a former President of Loyola College, died at the rectory of St. Joseph’s Church, Philadel- phia, on Sunday, February 13th, 1910, in the 77th year of his age. Father Kelly presided over the destinies of St. Ignatius’ Church and of Loyola College for nearly seven years, or until the summer of 1877, during which time he devoted all his energies to building up the College and maintaining the high standard it then enjoyed. An excellent business man, he realized the necessity of reducing the large debt that was upon the church and the old College buildings, and, with this object in view organized the Church Debt Association which did so much to relieve the burden that weighed so heavily upon the institution. Through his efforts, many im- provements were made, and the original debt materially re- duced. Father Kelly was a handsome specimen of a manly man, whose kindly heart was concealed by what some regarded as rather a dignified exterior, but he was ever ready to do a favor, and always willing to take his share of the duties per- taining to the office he held. He was a noted pulpit orator; his commanding presence, clear and distinct enunciation gained for him a wide reputation as a forcible and learned speaker. His innate modesty was so great that though he was recognized as an eloquent preacher, he disliked to be seen in the pulpit, yet never shirking his duties in this re- spect, he preached regularly on his appointed Sunday, at Sodality and weekly devotions in the month of May. Father Kelly was popular with all. Beloved by the com- munity, admired by the students, and esteemed by a large circle of warm friends, he was always the courteous gentle- man, the sincere and kind friend, the ideal Priest. Matthew S. Brenan. 2
