SERVING GOD AND COUNTRY REV. DANIEL J. LYNCH, S.J. Lieutenant Colonel, U.S.A. Jesuits are noted for their flexibility, individually and collectively. Saint Francis Xavier abandoned meta- physics for the missions, and Jesuits ever since have been traveling to and fro into every field and to every place on the globe where souls are to be saved. This war saw no break in the tradition of the Jesuits, and in the Summer of forty-one. Reverend Anthony J. Carroll, S.J., went from test tubes to troops, from Chemist to Captain. First stationed at Camp Edwards, he was later transferred to the West Coast and duty in the Pacific. Memories of Father Carroll are many, — a genial priest who knew hundreds of people by their first names, who gave brilliant lectures in S-4, who came down and smoked cigarettes with the Heights staff on Wednesday nights, who supplied the enthusiasm for the formation of the Crystal, who had a thirst for knowledge and a tremendous capacity for work. Father Daniel J. Lynch, S.J., also answered the call and went frora ledger-keeping to Lieutenant Colonel, from serving Boston College to serving the Nation. He left his position as Moderator of the Philomatheia Club to return to the post at which he had so nobly proved himself in World War L This tall, dignified, grey-haired Lieutenant Colonel went to Camp Edwards. In the depth of Winter he returned to Boston College to recover from a short illness. After recovery, he was assigned, according to reports, to the West Coast. Lieutenant Colonel Lynch has been a Chaplain for over twenty-five years and is the senior ranking officer in the Chaplain Division of the First Corps Area of the United States Army. Father Carroll and Father Lynch are the only recent members of the Boston College Faculty who have been called to the colors. But many other Jesuits, former teachers at Boston College, are now in the service; among these are. Father Lawrence M. Brock, S.J., First Lieu- tenant, and the most popular man at Edwards; Father John F. Clancey, S.J., First Lieutenant; Father James J. Dolan, S.J., First Lieutenant; Father John J. Dugan, S.J., First Lieutenant, with Mac Arthur and his troops; Father George M. Murphy, S.J., First Lieutenant; all of these priests are serving in the Army. Father Joseph T. O ' Callahan, S.J., is now a Lieutenant Senior Grade in the United States Navy. In addition to these, there are many other men who, after graduating from Boston College, entered the priest- hood and are now serving both God and Country as chaplains in our armed services. REV. ANTHONY G. CARROLL, S.J. Captain, U.S.A.

3ln ilf mamm On the twenty-fourth day of September, 1941, the Reverend S i ianl J. McGarry, S.J., nineteenth president of Boston College, departed this life as simply as he had lived it. No man ever saw life more steadily or fully than he who could look well beyond the narrow present to the broader expanses of the future. He was, as we all learned, a man of vision, keen penetrating perception, a man with a rich appreciation of values. Perhaps this accounted for the simplicity which was his in no small measure. Of him it can be said in all truth, he had the simplicity of greatness and the greatness of simplicity. As president of Boston College Father McGarry impressed all who met him with his deep love of scholarship and study. He was an intellectual in the finest sense of that word, but his heart was in his study as it was in his hand, giving a human warmth to his work and his life. No mere theorist, he was successfully practical where the seemingly more practical met with failure. Nor was his life spent merely in the perusal of learned tomes. On the contrary, he was devoted to youth and to their adjustment in a world thrown sadly out of joint, and this devotion made many an inroad into his very busy life. No group of young people was ever too unimportant or too insignificant for Father McGarry ' s talents. He had a message for youth, and in his zeal to lend encouragement and direction to their efforts no call that came from them to him failed to find a generous response. The work of Father McGarry at Boston College is well known to all. Those of us who had the good fortune to serve in the interests of Catholic education under his aegis may well wonder at his inexhaustible energy, his untiring devotion, his genuine inspiration, his winning sincerity. Though he spent but two short years as our Rector his name and his deeds will not be forgotten when the chronicle of the college which he loved is written. The sublime dignity of his priesthood sat well upon him; the tremendous responsibilities of his calling were ever uppermost in his mind. To these he was ever faithful; in their pursuit he laid down his hfe. He was our father, our leader, our guide, our friend. May his noble soul rest in peace. Joseph R. N. Maxwell, S.J. President, Holy Cross College
