YOUTHFUL ADMINISTRATOR RESPONSIBLE FOR EDUCATIONAL AND RELIGIOUS PROGRESS AT AQUINAS In the Principal’s Office at Aquinas there is an accent on youth. We mean not the students that are called on the carpet” there, but the Principal himself. Father William J. Duggan, C.S.B. is a young man. Perhaps it is this happy, rare combination of youth and administrative ability that demands the admiration, respect and friendship of the student. He is the hub of the feverish activity of student life, the pivot of all things Aquinas, responsible for the flourishing of an academic program and sporting fame that has become a legend. For five years he has guided the school’s policy. During that time the enrollment has grown to a capacity 1750 and the name of Aquinas of Rochester has been carried throughout the country by her thousands of graduates. The name of her present principal has become synonymous with progress, courage and foresight in the field of Catholic Education. . D • „i i Agumai Institute, answering telephone ■ •«. William J.
