1 the Humble Care of Souls ... A Celebrity in God A saintly expression, kind comments, and a shuffling step were the attributes of a Jesuit well- known and long-revered by Creighton students, the Rev. J. Clement Ryan. The university spiritual director whose door was always open to his many friends died as he had lived— quietly and with complete resignation to the will of his God. During his years at Creighton, the quiet cru- sader encouraged greater student participation in Mass and reception of the sacraments, and devo- tion to Our Lady ' s rosary. Students and faculty alike were inspired by his example. And both students and faculty showed their esteem for him by completely filling St. John ' s Church Nov. 14 to pray for the repose of his soul. It is in appreciation of Father Ryan ' s spiritual direction and example that we dedicate this year ' s Blue Jay to him.
