REV. CHARLES J. WALSH, SJ. The appointment of Rev. William C. Gianera, S.J., succeed- ing Pev. Charles J. Walsh, S.J., as president of the University of Santa Clara, may well be taken as the occasion for the emer- gence of Santa Clara from a time of war which drained it of over four fifth of its student body and drastically curtailed its extra curricular activities. To Father Gianera in this period of rejuvenation falls the task of reconversion and the expected post-war expansion which includes the construction of a student union. Plans for the erection of this building had been under way in 1941 but were cancelled the after Pearl Harbor attack because of the shortage of materials during war. It is proper here, however, to comment on the work of Father Walsh, who, as war president , found the last three years of his term infected with the slow paralysis of a world war demand- ing for its needs the young men who would ordinarily have filled Santa Clara ' s halls and added many pages to the history of the Mission School ' s glorious tradition. The Ryland Debate, Owl Oratorical, the House of Philhistorians and the Senate, the Stephen M. White Debating Society, The Redwood, The Owl, campus liter- ary monthly, the Dramatic Art Contest, varsity football and baseball became the victims of a war which at one time called all but 58 students to the colors. It was during this trying period that Father Walsh led Santa Clara and instilled in her men a love for and devotion to their alma mater. It was when the going was rockiest that he initia- ted the Emergency Fund which accounted for more than $100,000 in donations used to defray operating expenses of the university when its income was far exceeded by cost of operation. And it was while contemplating a bigger and better Santa Clara that Father Walsh decided to establish a Centennial Endowment Fund with a goal of one million dollars by 1 95 1, the money to be used in furthering the educational facilities of the university. To Father Walsh Santa Clara is grateful and to Father Gianera it looks for leadership in the future.
