Students: We were interested in the founding and history of our resident organiza• tion, the Carolan Club, and decided (o investigate the origin of the club. In so doing, we have discovered some interesting facts. At the beginning of the scholastic year of 1936, Ihe Dean of Men, Father Dillon, addressed the resident stu• dents of Providence College and sug• gested thai they form a resident club in order to strengthen the bonds of friendship between the students. Father Dillon felt that such a club would benefit the students and col• lege bt>th socially and academically. Acting upon the request of the Dean, a resident student organization vas founded under the Reverend Leo M. Carolan, O.P. The newly formed organization was named the Campus Club and its purpose was to mold a stronger feeling of friendship among the resident students By sponsoring dances, lectures, raffles, stag dinners, jnd originating a publication entitled The Campian", the club realized a true importance. Father Carolan, faculty advisor of ihe club, supervised its functions un• til his untimely death in June of 1938. The following Fall, the Campus Club was renamed the Carolan Club to commemorate its deceased founder. Those who worked closest to Father Carolan felt the loss of his indefatiga• ble guidance. The feelings of the students were reflected in the Fall of 1938 edition of the Alembic, "... Father Carolan was a true friend of every' student. He spoke to all. he laughed with all, and he worked tirelessly for all even to the detriment of his own well- being. He sought to instill and awaken in Ihe student body a strong• er school spirit and by so doing he imbued all wilh a love of Providence College that has no bounds " We offer these facts with the sin• cere hope that you. the members of the Carolyn Club, will realize the I.
