In lauding the historian and his art Cicero once wrote, “If no use is made of the labors of past ages, the world must always remain in the infancy of knowledge.” This volume which chronicles a year of John Carroll’s history is dedicated with special appropriate- ness to the University’s most eminent his- torian, Donald P. Gavin, Associate Professor of History and Director of the Department. As a practicing professor and as a pro- fessional historian it has been his academic heritage to help interpret the labors of the past and to bring human knowledge to a rich, Christian maturity. When classes con- vene next September Professor Gavin will begin his 25th year as a member of the John Carroll faculty. A Carroll alumnus, he has for a quarter of a century bestowed upon his students a recognition and appreciative comprehension of the historian’s ideals of exactness, sin- cerity, impartiality, and insistence on the truth—ideals which, by his own example of integrity, industry, and inspiring loyalty, he has encouraged these students to transfer to their own personal lives. DONALD P. GAVIN A.M. During his 12-year tenure as department director he has continually sought to develop in his students a philosophy of history which looks to the past in order to understand the present, one which explains events by their human causes, while discerning in them the influence of Providence. Instrumental in curricular revisions de- signed to improve and intensify the entire social science program, he inaugurated and administers an integrated advisory system for students contemplating careers in teach- ing, law, or public service; and he has staffed the department with men of demonstrated scholarship and professional promise. His memberships in learned societies are too numerous to detail; his monographs are too varied to list. In All Things Charity, his history of the Sisters of Charity in Cleveland, is at once a monument to the heroic service of the nuns and a tribute to the academic adeptness of the author. We members of the Carillon staff extend to Professor Gavin our congratulations on his forthcoming anniversary, and we offer him our dedication in gratitude for his.
