in memoriam During the past year the University suffered the loss of three of its most revered and beloved faculty. University President, the Very Rev. Frederick E. Welfle, S.J., died on August 17, 1956. Only a short time before, he had provided providentially for the immediate future by amplifying the University’s ad- ministrative structure as a climax to the unprece- dented growth and expansion of John Carroll during his 10 years as President. Associate Professor of History Mr. Edward Egegl died on December 12, 1956. An outstanding teacher and eminent scholar, he was admired and esteemed by his students and his colleagues. A close personal friend of Fr. Welfle, Mr. Eggl was instrumental in founding the Lay Faculty Association and served as its first president. Fritz W. Graff, dean emeritus of the School of Business, Economics, and Government died April 21, 1957. Dr. Graff joined the Carroll faculty in 1924 as a Professor of Business Administration and director of the embryo department. In 1945 he organized the School of Business, Economics, and Government. Serving as its dean for 12 years he was responsible for its growth in both size and stature. Fritz W. Graff 1888-1957 REQUIESCANT IN PACE Frederick E. Welfle, S.J. 1897-1956 Edward J.

dedication... REV. LEONARD H. OTTING, S.J. A.M., PH.D. P HILOsSOPHY is the strong and effective instrument of formulating a logical, unified intellect in harmony with the Divinely-instituted natural law. Philosophy is the handmaid of religion—and the true education of the rational powers of man must be permeated with the principles of spiritual orientation to Christ if it is to produce men of sound moral character who will be good leaders and valued citizens both in the temporal world and the Eternal Kingdom. The 1957 Carillon honors two members of the Society of Jesus, one a philosopher, the Rev. Leonard H. Otting, S.J.; the other, a spiritual director, the Rev. Clifford J. LeMay, S.J. Between them they have devoted half a century to the achievement of this ideal in Carroll graduates. Father Otting served John Carroll first in 1926-27 as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. In 1933 he returned to the University as a Professor of Philosophy, a position which he has held continuously since then. Universally esteemed by his former students, Father Otting, by his dynamic, vibrant, lucid exposition of REV. CLIFFORD J. LeMAY, S.J. A.M. the principles of Rational Psychology, The Family, and Ethics, has fortified and invigorated Carroll graduates in fio areas of living which are uniquely appropriate for the practice of Christian virtue in the secular modern world. Student Counselor, Professor of Religion, dispenser of the redeeming grace of Penance and the Spiritual Life of the Birchanct Father LeMay is the spiritual father of the student body. Since 1933 he, too, has shared the awesome responsibility and arduous labor of developing men of “acute and rounded intellect, of upright and manly conscience.” Delving into students’ difficulties with amazing insight, he has unburdened many of their troubles with sympathy and understand- ing, while deftly guiding them aright with the practical wisdom of the Christian scholar. To Fathers Otting and LeMay, enduring and assuring symbols of Jesuit education to the several thousands of Carroll men who have been privileged to be guided by them, for their selfless service, their scholarly exhorta- tions, and their exemplary emulation of the Way of the Master we dedicate this 1957 Carillon.
