Rev. Neil L. Bulman, SJ. R. I. P. Father Bulman, Dean of Sophomores, died on April 1st,'1933, after a short illness and operation. A man of brilliance, culture, priestly dignity, he was loved not alone for what he did-ever the samaritan with his constant deeds of charity and mercy-but also for what he was-a just man and a minister of God to men. Twenty-seven long years marked his service in the Iesuit Order. .He taught as a professor at St. Iohn's College in Philadelphia, Boston College, Georgetown University in X'Vashington, and at Holy Cross. While on the Hill, coming in 1924 as professor of rhetoric, he was in turn Student Counselor, Moderator of Blessed-Virgin Sodality, Dean of Freshmen, and Dean of Sophomores. A I ' The following taken from The Tomahawk gives a significant touch to Father Bulman,s career at Holy Cross: The late Rev. Neil L. Bulman, SJ., played a threefold importance in the educational development of the students. As a professor, his untiring efforts assisted in training the mind. He proved an inspiring and sympathetic man in the position of Sophomore and Freshman Dean, to Whose open heart and sound mind the problems of the young student might be brought with an assurance that a favorable solution would be found for them. His most notable Work was per- formed in the role of student counselor. He symbolized -the essence of sanctity and Wisdom in ministering to the spiritual life of the student body. In fostering a sound spiritual phi- losophy, the late lamented Iesuit was a true laborer in the vineyard of Christ. Because he epitomized the aim of the College in attending to the religious necessities of the stu- dents, Father Bulman leaves an important position vacant.
