Loyola College - Review Yearbook (Montreal, Quebec Canada)

eae has been served outstandingly by a variety of in- dividuals in its quest for recognition as a university. There have been rectors, students, and alumni; families, local citizens and communities; faculty members, professional men and authors; and now as Loyola's charter seems imminent, it becomes increasingly clear that Timothy P. Slattery, M.B.E., Q.C., is one of the most prominent men in this struggle which has lasted some si xty years. Mr. Slattery has indeed had in illustrious career. Born on February 4th, 1911, he was educated at St. Leo's, Loyola High School and Loyola College. While at Loyola he captained the football team and graduated with highest honours in 1931. He obtained his legal degree at McGill University and subsequently became Gold Medalist and winner of the Macdonald Travelling Scholarship in 1934. After further study in Paris, Mr. Slattery served during World War II as Secretary of the Crown Company, Wartime Shipbuilding Limited. In addition to his active participation in Montreal's legal fraternity, he is Director of St. Mary's Hospital, and a Director and Legal Adviser of Loyola College. Perhaps his greatest single contribution came last year with the publication of his new book, ‘‘Loyola and Montreal ’, a volume which is much more than a history to any student of this college. The dust that he has risen by his walk through Loyola's past is not only his dust, but now it is ours. In a sense this book epitomizes the characteristics of Mr. Slattery’s contribution. It is of course a history and a valu- able introduction of Loyola to the country. But more important is its intangible benefit to the reader. Its full value cannot be registered in figures yet this fact does not belie its worth. And this is the same fashion in which Mr. Slattery has served Loyola since 1924. He has gone above and beyond the call that Loyola has lodged with him. His gratuitous dedication and persistence for the ratification of Bill III is ample indication. He has served not only his community but Loyola. Hence, it is to Mr. Timothy P. Slattery, lawyer, former graduate, alumnus, prominent citizen and author, that Loyola ‘63 is respectfully dedicated.
