Some faculty gusto. One La Salle event should therefore not slip believe that the University ranks even higher. by unnoticed this academic year, especially because The numbers are impressive in themselves. But it represents an unusual scholastic achievement for John Grady, director of La Salle’s Honors Program a small liberal arts institution: the university’s two and chairman of the university’s Campus Fellowship decades of extraordinary success in the Fulbright Committee for the past sixteen years, concedes that scholarship competition. even he didn’t fully grasp the uniqueness of La Salle’s Since 1965, 38 La Salle seniors have won Fulbright accomplishment until several months ago, when he scholarships, which provide one to two years of had a chance to see how well La Salle fared against graduate study abroad in dozens of nations around East Coast colleges ranging from Maine to the District the world. Although precise figures for other colleges of Columbia. Last spring he observed the Fulbright and universities are unavailable, this total easily screening process at the national level in New York. Donald Rainey, ’65 (seated, foreground), La Salle's first Fulbright Scholar, visited campus recently and reminisced with Vincent Kling, ’68 (right), the university’s first Evening Division Fulbright winner, and Gregory Lloyd, ’84, one of the younger recipients. Drs. Bernhardt Blumenthal and Leo Rudnytsky are seated in the background. La Salle, Winter 1985-86 1 FULBRIGHT — continued teacher’s frequent ‘‘gift of self”—the personal ele­ ment in so much fine La Salle teachng, the degree to which most La Salle teachers deeply care about stu­ dents." A s I talked with La Salle’s Fulbright winners from the last twenty years—a rare pleasure in itself—this feeling was reinforced again and again. And fittingly, such a general, impressionistic explanation for the university’s success with Fulbright candidates finds quiet expression in a more immediate and particular one: the work of Leo Rudnytzky and Bernhardt Blumenthal. Seventy percent of La Salle’s Fulbright awardees have studied in Germany and Austria. These two superb teachers of German language and literature are largely responsible for the university’s success with German-speaking candidates, and thus in no small part for La Salle’s excellent overall record through two decades of Fulbright competition. Both teachers actively encourage talented students to think about the Fulbright competition, almost from the be­ ginning of the student’s academic career. ‘‘Careful nurturing,” jokes Leo Rudnytzky, ’58, dis­ closing his recipe for cultivating Fulbright winners. And then more seriously: ‘‘Seeing a student win one of these awards still gives me a bigger thrill than anything else in academic life. You can publish books, but it’s glorious to have young people come back and tell you that you made such a difference in their lives. For me, that is the greatest reward.” Blumenthal, former chairman of La Salle’s Campus Fellowship Committee for ten years and a Fulbright scholar himself, agrees. He also notes that the Cam­ Ada Steinmetz-Duffin, '74 who teaches at Marlton (N.J.)
