Very Reverend Vincent C. Dore, O.P. President of Providence College A member of the first graduating class of Providence College-the class of 1923-Father Dore's whole life has been one of humble and pious service to the institution which he now heads, After a brief absence dur- ing which he pursued a course of higher study at the Catholic University in Washington, D.C., Father Dore returned to the College serving variously as head of the Sociology Department, Dean of Studies, Aca- demic Vice-President, Dean of the Faculty, and Superior of the Domini- can Community at the College, before assuming the office of President in 1961. He has exercised this office with a firm hand but a warm heart, and always with an implicit trust in Him in whose service he has always toiled. As President, Father Dore has witnessed the further physical expansion of the College and the erection of the new Guzman Hall Dormitory. A back-court star on the first P.C. basketball team, Father has been gratified at the continuing success of sports at the College and has often displayed his own Spartan spirit at pre-season rallies. Since becoming President, Father Dore has received' several honorary degrees from Various colleges in the New England area in testament of his intellectual and administrative abilities.
