Rt. Rev. Msgr. Robert B. Navin, S.T.D., Ph.D. President, St. John College Rt. Rev. Msgr. Thomas J. Murphy, Ph.D. Vice-President, St. John College The buoyancy of love of God and His Children is found in the ttseven-leaguel, stride of this dis- tinguised priest. Pastoral duties at St. Aloysius Church, meetings of the advisory board of St. Vincent Charity Hospital, the school board of the diocese of Cleveland and the Executive Coun- cil of St. John College keep him active in Godls service. 12 Administration Steadfast and stately in all his ways is Monsignor Navin as he calmly and efficiently serves the college. His deep understanding of collegiate problems endears him to both faculty and students. His understanding of people also makes him an able President of Better Homes and Neighbors, a Cleveland Area Housing Or- ganization. He is also a member of the Mayorls Advi- sory Board for Housing and a member of the Repre- sentative Assembly of the Cleveland Welfare Federa- tion. His warm presence was missed at the college when he attended the North American Centennial Celebra- tion of the North American College in Rome, Italy. The lovely medals of Pope John XXIII which Monsi- gnor presented to each student upon his return will be a treasured remembrance of our kind, beloved Presi- dent.
