Mr. Williams received the honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Xavier in 1955 in recognition of his humani- tarian and civic service. He was a Knight Commander of the Order of St. Gregory, and was Master Knight of the Sovereign Military Order of Mzxlta, both Papal honors. President James F. Maguire, SJ., issued the following statement: Words of eulogy about Charles Finn Williams can be forgotten. His works of goodness and humanity, however, will live forever. He was a great citizen and a great personality. He never hid his convictions- about work and individual enterprise, about the place of religion in life, about the pride in his Irish ancestry. We at Xavier University are proud of the fact that his memorial on our cam- pus is an interest-free fund that makes it possible for worthy students to finance their education. Thus, down the corridor of time does he extend the helping hand to young men, who, because of him, will be better citizens and better men. Page I9

Deep sincerity of purpose, strong convictions, broad and generous sympathies for all classes within the community characterized the late Mayor of this metropolis. His outstanding ability and driving energy were freely dedicated to the service of his community. In his private life, the edihcation of a high and noble example matched the integrity of his character in the fulfillment of public duties.
