Dedication: Dr. Charles A. Brady i Charles Brady was born in Buffalo's Black Bock section on April 15, 1912-at the approximate moment of the sinking of the Titanic. Later he was to say-only half jokingly-that this probably determined his bent toward epic subjects, both in his serious criticism and in his creative writing. In any case, his birth at that moment was anything but a disaster for Canisius College. Dr. Brady has spent his life at and with Canisius. He is a graduate of Canisius High School and of Canisius College. He joined the Canisius College English Department in 1935 and this semester caps 41 years for him on the faculty here. The city of Buffalo is dotted with his pupils. He has taught and touched thousands of students across two generations. He has, on occa- sion, taught sons and daughters of former students. And he has taught many who went on to be teachers themselves. On Election Day each year he has made it a rule of thumb to vote for the candidates whom he has taught. lVlost recently, however, he has often had to choose between two former students. Perhaps the greatest symbol of his deep involvement with Canisius is the centenary history, Canisius College.' The First Hundred Years. Written over a period of years, the book required massive research through piles of old records. Unlike many a school history, it is not a boring compilation of historical fact upon historical fact. lnstead, the book is written in an impression- istic style which captures the past and present spirit of Canisius College as well as that of the entire Niagara Frontier. Dr. Brady has always said that what the old Romans called pietas and genius loci - that is, a love for a locality and the sense of the spirit of place therein-is the formative impulse in his prose and poetry. For example, he often reflected on the fact that just beyond the fence of his childhood home on Humboldt Parkway was the site of the Six Nations Council Glade where, as late as 1812, the Iroquois took their decisions for peace or war. In 1967, Dr. Brady celebrated an allied association-that his first grandson had Seneca blood, and belonged to one of those Indian nations-by writing Keeper of the Western Gate: For D.J.D. That poem subsequently won the Cecil Hemley Memorial Award, the Poetry Society of America's most prestigious prize and, in his own estimation, the highest honor Dr. Brady ever received. And he has received many. There is a distinct Canisius flavor to a number of these. He was awarded the LaSalle Medal upon graduation from the College. ln 1970 he was the recipient of the Canisius Alumni Association's Peter Canisius lVledal. He has been named to the Canisius High School Hall of Fame. His second Bene lVlerenti medal, denoting an additional 20 years of distin- guished service to the College was bestowed upon Dr. Brady at the College's 109th Commencement ceremonies last year. Canisius, however, has not been alone in honoring its favorite son. Dr. Brady attended Harvard University for graduate study and earned his lVl.A. there. In 1954, LelVIoyne College awarded him an L.H.D. Earlier he had held the Candlemas Lectureship at Boston College, and had given Notre Dame's Summer Lecture in the Humanities. On different occasions he has also spoken at both the State University of New York at Buffalo and the State University of New York College at Buffalo. In 1963 Georgetown University made him the recipient of its President's lVledal. Since 1945, Dr. Brady has been a book reviewer for The Buffalo Evening News. His own caricatures have often accom- panied his Saturday reviews. In addition, he has been, at various times, on the review staffs of the New York Times, the old Herald Tribune, Thought, Renascence, America, The Lamp, The Sign, The Catholic World. Beyond his criticism for newspapers, Dr. Brady's literary essays are to be found in standard critical antho- Dr. Brady's wife, Eileen, was on hand to accept an award for her husband from Fr. Demske at last year's graduation. A second Bene Nlerenti medal denoting 40 years of distinguished service to the College was presented
