19 ® lj p 0 mu e r 33 iltt iMcuuiriam JOHN D. RYAN It was with a deep feeling of loss that Manhattanville heard of the death of Mr. John D. Ryan on February 1 1, 1933. Mr. Ryan was one of the outstanding Catholic laymen of New York. Because of his constant and liberal contributions to Catholic charities, he was honored by His Holiness Pope Pius XI who made him a Knight of St. Gregory in 1923. Mr. Ryan was also a Knight of the Sovereign and Military Order of Malta. His generous activities were not confined within the sphere of his Church, but he gave himself just as generously to his country. When the United States was at war, he temporarily dropped his vast business interests to serve his country, as a director of the military relief of the American Red Cross. Later, at President Wilson’s request, he directed the production of airplanes as second assistant secretary of war under Mr. Newton D. Baker. It is with pride that the students of Manhattanville remember Mr. Rvan not only as one of Manhattanville’s ablest trus¬ tees, but also as a valued friend. [ Page seven ]
