BROTHER SIMEON RYAN, O.S.F. IN DEDICATION To find a man who is at once a scholar, a teacher, a concerned individual, a man of sensitivity and authority, is often an overwhelming task, yet the Class of 1969 feels that there is one person tvho possesses the above mentioned traits and tvho totally exemplifies the true Fran¬ ciscan Spirit. Thus the staff of the Franciscan respectfully on the behalf of the Class 1969 dedicates this Yearbook to Brother Simeon Ryan, O.S.F. Brother Simeon, well known to the students of the Science Division, has been a dedicated faculty member at the College since 1951. The lists of students that Brother has guided to successful careers are almost endless. Anyone who comes in contact ivith this excellent man is left with a lasting impression of a profoundly humble person, always ivilling to give of his time and energy to help others. In an age where the scientist is often pictured as a total objectivist. Brother Simeon provides a vibrant contradiction to this picture. Though an eminent biologist, he is constantly interested in all the dimensions and aspects of the total human being. Brother Simeon is an excellent example of the true Franciscan, a scholar and a humanist, a true total personality.
