IN MEMORIAM i REV. BENEDICT J. RODMAN SJ Born: May 9, 1882 Entered Society: 1901 Ordained: june 26, 1913 Died: January 4, 1963 On january 4, 1963, Father Benedict J. Rodman, S. 1. succumbed to death at Colombiere College in Clarkston, Michigan after a long illness. Father Rodman was born in Marion County, Kentucky in 1882 and entered the Jesuit N ovitiate at Florissant, Missouri in 1901. Father studied at St. Louis University and was ordained on June 26, 1913, a specialist in Canon Law. He came to Cleveland in 1928 as Rector and President of Saint Ignatius College, and within seven years he saw the college move from its West Side location to the new University Heights campus. His hard work and enthusiasm sparked the drive for 32,500,000 to construct the first of seven buildings on the campus. Through years of poverty and economic depression marked by disappointments, Father Rodman pushed on untiringly and in October, 1935, the realization of his dreams took place as the new john Carroll University opened its doors to students in pursuit of knowledge. This undying devotion and enthusiasm marked the life of Father Rodman, the 11th President of the University. He firmly imprinted his character upon Carroll through his life of devotion, his death is a great loss to the Society and the cause of Catholic education. The Very Reverend Hugh E. Dunn, SJ., President of the University, said of Father Rodman: Time has proved the vision, courage, and faith of Father Rodman. Today the community of Greater Cleveland, and the University itself reflects the long shadow of the man. His was an inspiring leadership, the leadership that could look beyond de- pressions and visualize the tomorrow of our needs and hopes. The friends of the Uni- versity, as well as those who came in contact with his efforts will always be indebted to him.
