Fr. Austin Joseph Fagothey, S.J., a na- tive of San Francisco, is among the fore- most Jesuit intellectuals in the United States. Father Fagothey entered the order on July 18, 1917, and was ordained four- teen years later on June 16, 1931. This year is his golden anniversary, celebrating his 50th year in the Society of Jesus. Now the chairman of the Department of Philosophy, Fr. Fagothey received his doctorate in philosophy at Gregorian Un- iversity in Italy. With this background Father published his book Right and Rea- son, which has been adopted by many Catholic colleges and universities in the United States. Recently Father has returned from his sabbatical year in Europe which has taken him even further into post-doctorate stud- ies in philosophy. Father Alexis I. Mei, S.J., from San Francisco, entered the Society of Jesus on August 14, 1916. He took his final vows on June 23, 1929. Father worked as an assistant to Padre Jerome Ricard solving pre-computor math computations for the Padre ' s sunspot forecasting . This method of predicting the weather had been proven to have a greater percentage of accuracy than the government forecasts. He has received a Ph.D. in both physics and seismology from the University of California. The former Dean of USF ' s College of Arts Sciences, Father Mei is now the Academic Vice-President here at SCU as well as a fellow in the California Academy of Science.
