REVEREND FRANCIS J. CALLAHAN, S.J. Fr. Callahan. S.J.. vice president in charge of development, is a modest man with a deep personal dynamism. Perhaps he might best be described as a man who calls a spade a spade. He is straightforward and unpretentious in his manner. Born in San Francisco on April 29th, 1913, Father Callahan attended St. Ignatius High School before receiving his A.B. and M.A. from Gonzaga University. Subsequently, he was awarded degrees from Alma College, Catholic University, and the Pontifical Gregorian University. After teaching at Santa Clara University and Alma College, Father Callahan joined the USF faculty in 1952 as Law School chaplain and assistant professor of jurisprudence and canon law. Two years later he was appointed associate director of development, and in 1956 he was appointed director of development and alumni moderator for the University. Perhaps the growth of the University during these past five years speaks best for the accomplishments of this man: the USF Memorial Gym, the new wing of Phelan Hall, the Kendrick law school building, and the projected science center. In all of this, Father Callahan has remained in the background, working hard and asking little. No doubt he shall continue to do so. He is truly one of the men ‘‘behind the scenes.”
