E T;HEREDWDo ) , Joseph Q. S sia, S- J- Juhilarian Fifty golden years of Priesthood, spent in the service of his church and his order, were celeljrated by Reverend Joseph C. Sasia of tlie Society of Jesus on April 24, 1927. Zealous, active years they were, whether as professor, or author, or execu- tive, or priest. To the man and his works we pay our just tribute of praise. On his return to California in 1878 from Woodstock College, Marvland, where he had received Holy Orders, Father Sasia spent five years as professor of chem- istry and philosophy. In 1883 he was made president of Saint Ignatius College, San Francisco, and in 1888 superior of the California Mission. He was called to Italy in 1894 and appointed Provincial of the Turin province. In 1899 he returned to California and was sent to Saint Joseph ' s Church in San Jose. During these four years he finished the compilation of his now famous work, Christian Apologetics. In 1904 he was back in San Francisco as a professor until 1907, when he was again appointed President of the College. From P ' ll to I ' HS he was engaged in ministerial work in San Jose, and in 1916 and 1 ' ' 17 lie instructed at Sacred Heart Novitiate, Los Gatos. Here he completed his long planned work on Future Life. Father Sasia was .seventy-five years old when he came to the University of Santa Clara in 1918. He has since remained with us, giving an example of industry and devotion to dutv. Even now he is laboring to complete a work on Moral Philos- ophy. May he live to celebrate yet another jubilee. lAf? .q W Mo f29l
