The Man. Simply stated that's what he is — The Man who knows why and where the University is heading at any particular time of the day. He can tell you who is the highest scorer on the basketball team, who is the highest contributor on the donation list, when the last mandatory retreat was held and just how bad is Al McGuire's golf game. Rumor once held that The Man lived in O'Hara Hall, hidden deep within walls of steel. That's untrue. 2 4

Obscure is the image The Man portrays ... gazing quietly at the campus he has molded, walking incognito across the noon hour class change, talking with student leaders about modern education. Some know him as The Man with affection and admiration. They're seen enough of the human to sense his devotion to their future. To them. The Man is a very alive individual working behind the scenes to assure continuation of the University. Some will merely shake his hand the first day they arrive at the University and drink beer during his block parties then see The Man in robes announcing their degree four years later. He'll never be more than a figure of the Jesuit tradition for them. In community. The Man holds the respect of his fellow priests. The dedication of a life of service is nothing one man puts aside when on the road or in front of national television cameras. Although he possesses a place of extra comfort in old Heraty. he is still just one of the order. Father John Raynor, President of Marquette University, is a man for the people — that is not to suggest a handshaking marathon smiling reception line robot. That also means he is not a totally beloved individual in the university. But he exists. He makes some smile. And as long as he is The Man at Marquette, that’s the way it will remain. 1 2 5
