So, for 25 years-one-third of their lives, inex- tricably intertwined, John Carroll University and the Reverend Terence Ahearn, S.J. have sought to- gether the secrets of their Creator's wisdom in the manifestations of His creatures of life. As Professor of Biology and director of the de- partment, Father Ahearn conceived the vision and cherished the desire for a superior department. Seek- ing eminence in instruction, demanding mastery in graduates, he strengthened continually, even dra- matically, the pre-medical and pre-dental curricula so that Carroll men distinguished themselves con- sistently in the nation's schools of medicine and dentistry. Harboring and nourishing for 22 years a further dream, he brought to completion in 1958 a superla- ll tive bacteriology-botany laboratory, the fulfillment of two decades of planning, promotion, and plain, tedious labors. Last year Father Ahearn became director emeri- tus of the department, devoting his time in cancer research to the challenging pursuit of another elu- sive dream, a cure. Those who have studied under him-indeed all who know him-have learned respect for his stern and searching scrutiny and his uncompromising creed of precision. They cherish, too, however, the memory of his genial grace and kindly concern and daily example of devotion to God. In its anniversary year, John Carroll offers greet- ings and gratitude to Father Terence Ahearn in his anniversary year. As he has given, he has indeed given himself. To him We dedicate this volume.
