Seven years ago, in the fall of 1958, the Very Reverend Michael P. Walsh, S.]., became the twenty-second President of Boston College. Today, as has no other individual, this congenial Irishman from South Boston has converted the cam-pus Gothic personality into what prom- ises to he the most modern Catholic university in the country. In his determination to prove that a Catholic university can he a fertile ground for scholarship and Catholic intellectualism, Father Walsh planted the seeds of the future during his very first months in office. Among his inaugural projects was the initiation of a nation- wide student recruiting program to accommodate the new influx of talented students, and the facidty was increased hy more than half. An ambitious ten year, seventy million dollar building program was launched by him early in I960. That was five years ago. Now three new dorm- itories, the Carney Facidty Center, and McElroy Commons stand completed. Construction on the new science building is already well advanced, and a women ' s dormitory, a University library, and a Fine Arts Center are scheduled to follow. But ivho, we may well ask, is this priest, this businessman who has boldly set his sights on a truly unique conception of Catholic edu- cation? He is a soft spoken Jesuit for all of his dynamic accomplish- ments, and his warm personality and ready wit quickly dispel the awe which his office tends to inspire. But there is no mistaking that Father Walsh is a pragmatic architect of the future and his sound business policies will carry Boston College to nexv heights. 16
