Father Donohoe, S.J. Benjamin Swig Mr. Benjamin Swig stated at the recent dedica- tion of Swig Residence Hall for Men that he is not as comfortable saying things as he is doing things; his untiring interest in both local and na- tional organizations gives evidence of the sinceri- ty of his words. His contributions to education, one of his many interests, comprise an impressive list. He is a di- rector of the American Friends of Hebrew Un- iversity, a member of the Board of Governors of Hebrew Union College, a member of the Educa- tion Advisory Council of the Lincoln Educational Foundation, and a member of the Board of Re- gents of the University of Santa Clara. For his selfless contributions to humanity, Mr. Swig was recently named a Papal Knight by Pope Paul VI. The REDWOOD is proud to humbly add its dedication to Mr. Benjamin Swig. A native San Franciscan born in 1914, Rev. Patrick Donohoe entered the order of Jesuits in 1931, and was ordained a priest 13 years later. He continued his studies in the field of political sci- ence and earned the degree of Doctor of Philoso- phy in that field in 1953. He taught here at Santa Clara until 1958, when he assumed the position of University President. Since he became president, the University has tripled in undergraduate enrollment, including the addition of women students. New graduate programs have also been added in engineering and business administration, as well as a new academic program, the 3-3 plan. In 1959, Fr. Donohoe organized the universi- ty ' s first Board of Regents. In November of 66, he was elected Vice-President of the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universi- ties. His accomplishments and service to the Un- iversity more than warrant the Redwood s hum- ble dedication to him. 25
