  • LIFE Portfolio Course Moves Beyond Class Experience to Support
    Spring 2015 Greetings from Hoffmann Hall! During this past academic year the Division of Business and Economics undertook two new initiatives. The first is described in our lead story. Students from across campus benefited from the investing acumen of our finance majors by being awarded a portion of the proceeds gained though the Loras Investment Fund for the Endowment (LIFE) portfolio class. The second initiative was the creation of faculty-led discussion groups. These groups provided students an opportunity to consider the impact that Catholic Social Teaching can have on their lives. Through the generosity of a benefactor, this semester’s CST initiative will bring two noted scholars to campus: Dr. Andrew Abela of Catholic University, and Dr. Patrick Murphy, from the University of Notre Dame. I believe you will find this issue of our newsletter very informative—filled with news of exciting activities and meaningful student accomplishments. As always, I entreat you to join our LinkedIn member group. It is a great way to stay connected to your school and its alumni. Be More. Be Loras. --Dr. Doug Gambralll, Ed.D.

  • Archbishop John J. Williams
    Record Group I.06.01 John Joseph Williams Papers, 1852-1907 Introduction & Index Archives, Archdiocese of Boston Introduction Biographical Sketch Scope and Content Content List (A-Z) Subject Index Introduction The John Joseph Williams papers held by the Archives of the Archdiocese of Boston span the years 1852-1907. The collection consists of original letters and documents from the year that Williams was assigned to what was to become St. Joseph’s parish in the West End of Boston until his death 55 years later. The papers number approximately 815 items and are contained in 282 folders arranged alphabetically by correspondent in five manuscript boxes. It is probable that the Williams papers were first put into some kind of order in the Archives in the 1930s when Fathers Robert h. Lord, John E. Sexton, and Edward T. Harrington were researching and writing their History of the Archdiocese of Boston, 1604-1943. At this time the original manuscripts held by the Archdiocese were placed individually in folders and arranged chronologically in file cabinets. One cabinet contained original material and another held typescripts, photostats, and other copies of documents held by other Archives that were gathered as part of the research effort. The outside of each folder noted the author and the recipient of the letter. In addition, several letters were sound in another section of the Archives. It is apparent that these letters were placed in the Archives after Lord, Sexton, and Harrington had completed their initial arrangement of manuscripts relating to the history of the Archdiocese of Boston. In preparing this collection of the original Williams material, a calendar was produced.
