WINTER 2010 15 What can Jesuit universities do together to make the world a more humane, just, and sustainable place? It starts with imagination. And an unequaled global network. CHARLES BARRY

The international conference “Networking Jesuit Higher Education: Shaping the Future for a Humane, Just, Sustainable Globe,” held in Mexico City April 22–24, 2010, brought together hundreds of leaders in Jesuit higher education from around the world. Organized by Santa Clara University Chancellor Paul Locatelli, S.J. ’60, in his capacity as Secretary of Higher Education for the Society of Jesus, the conference featured a keynote address by Adolfo Nicolás, S.J., the Jesuits’ Superior General. Fr. Nicolás’ speech appears in edited form below. The conference also inaugurated a number of working groups focused on themes that include ecology and sustainability; human rights and civic responsibility; markets, inequality, and poverty; and theology, science, and culture. On the following pages, Ron Hansen M.A. ’95 offers brief reports on how Jesuit institutions hope to collaborate on some of these areas.

It is a careful analysis (dismembering) for I accept that the dictatorship of relativism is not the sake of an integration (remembering) around what is good. But many things are relative. If there is one thing deepest: God, Christ, the Gospel. The starting point, then, I learned in Japan, it is that the human person is such will always be what is real: what is materially, concretely a mystery that we can never grasp the person fully.

In fact, he used to tease me. “The Irish,” he would say, “are the worst of the lot.” Then he Pwould really get in his digs. “In fact,” he would add, “Whenever I attend an Irishman’s funeral, I have my secretary cancel all my appointments for the whole day and night.” So when Paul informed me that he had named me, Mick McCarthy, to preach at his funeral Mass, I asked what accounted for his miraculous conver- sion. He looked at me with that big Locatelli smile. “At that point, Mick, I’ll be in a box and it won’t matter to me anymore. At that point, Mick, who’s counting the time? At that point, you can talk as long as you like.” But I know you’re listening, Paul. So however CHARLES BARRY many words it takes, it all amounts to this: We love you, Paul. We shall miss you dearly, Paul. We are Garden chat: Fr. Locatelli and exceedingly grateful for the man you are, Paul—a man of God. In fact, the Chantel Molatore ’08 Mission Gardens have never been so full of people longing to show their respect and affection. And we are here, Paul, to commend you to the same Lord who graciously sent you to us and gave us so much through you. We pray, Paul, that you hear him say: “Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. For I was hungry, and you gave me food.” Like others, I have never known anyone with as robust a constitution as Paul. So the swiftness of his death has rocked us all, especially his fam- ily.

I had the privilege of seeing Paul in many different contexts, from state occasions to family meals prepared by Lydia or Diane. You need to know sincerely that Paul was at his absolute best any time he was with you as brother and uncle. The love and loyalty he experienced with you ran so deep and started from such an early age that it set the pattern for his whole life, including his tenure as President of Santa Clara. Paul once related to me the story how, as kids, he and Harry got in a car accident while he was driving. His own scrapes and bruises were noth-

For me, that GLENN MATASMURA image of a 17-year-old Paul Locatelli intensely anxious for little Harry explains every speech I heard him give about the virtue of compassion and Academic Vice President: Paul Locatelli solidarity with the least of our brothers and sisters. It also grounds his sense in the spring of ’86 of who this God is that he served his whole life long. It fills out his sense of who is this Christ, for whom Paul gave up everything he had and followed to his final day. Christ is the one who—even when he comes in all his glory, surrounded by angels and sitting on a throne before the nations— identifies with the hungry and thirsty, the alien, the condemned, the sick. This is the God Paul knew and believed in; this is the Christ Paul preached with his very life. This is the God Paul taught us to follow and worship and love. And this is the vision with which he led and formed Santa Clara A Jesuit’s Jesuit University. Moreover, he made clear it is the ultimate metric of our success.

y 1:30 a.m. on May 23, Megan HIRO KURAOKA Delehanty was out of her tent at Camp Four, climbing with her team toward the South Summit. As night turned to day, she could see dark clouds approaching. Am I doing push Bsomething stupid? she wondered. But the New Zealander leading the expedition knew the mountain, knew the forecast; he was watching her team’s ascent via live video feed and would The tale of a tax accountant radio should they need to turn back. Clouds rolled and mountaineer—and her long in, visibility was poor. But on they pushed, Delehanty climb to the top of the world. followed by her Sherpa guide, Lhakpa Nuru. After eight hours of climbing, Lhakpa Nuru shouted, “Summit!” Lost in the one-foot-after-the-other monotony that sets in deep into a climb, Delehanty had no idea they were so close to the top. Once more, Lhakpa Nuru shouted. “Summit!” Visibility was so poor they could barely make out a group of climbers just 70 feet away. They unclipped from the rope holding them to the mountain and walked around three climbers to join their teammates on the summit. They were in a whiteout, with no view. “I was so happy to be there,” Delehanty said. “But the top of Everest is not a place you want to be for very long.” That, and once you’ve reached the summit, there follows the dizzying descent.

Base camp Climbing Mt. Everest is not something you do on a whim; it’s more akin to a military campaign than a weekend sprint up California’s Mt. Whitney. It takes months of planning and physical preparation. Even so, the best-laid plans of would-be summiters often go astray. Delehanty summited Everest on her second attempt, but she’d begun the climb years before. In 1987, one of her classmates at the Leavey School of Business, Mark Murrell MBA ’90, completed a two- year trip around the world. Delehanty was captivated by

A vacation from her vacation Delehanty is as candid about what her mountain exploits have cost her as she is magnanimous with those who have facilitated her ascents. Mountaineering has not helped her career or her finances, she admits. She has been able to climb mountains only because of flexible employ- ers and her generous parents. (They provided her a free place to live as caretaker for the family home while she prepared for her Everest expeditions.) Colleagues haven’t always understood how spending eight weeks on gruel- ing Himalayan expeditions each spring can reasonably be described as a “vacation.” The joke in the office when she worked at Clorox, she said, was “Megan needs a vacation from her vacation.” Delehanty also acknowledges the ever-present exis- tential realities of high-altitude mountaineering: the implications for family (existing or planned), and the real possibility of death. She and her female teammates last year on Everest were single, without children. When asked if she thought about the dangers on Everest, she instantly knew how many lives had been claimed by the Summit!

44 S anta C lara M agazine | winter 2010 says the club’s commitment to helping new genera- tions of students attend Santa Clara is the biggest reason she belongs. Her father died after her fresh- man year, leaving the family of five children in tough straits financially. But she was able to continue her studies thanks to a full-ride scholarship from Santa Clara’s Jesuit community. “I received a gift and I want someone else to be able to get something too,” she says. The club takes its name from Magin Catala, O.F.M., a Spanish Franciscan who arrived at Mission Santa Clara in 1794, earning a reputation for educating local Native Americans—a fitting namesake given the club’s goals. Still, the earnestness of the club’s origins and focus doesn’t mean the Catala women don’t have fun. For years, the club’s annual luncheon and fash- ion show in the Mission Gardens garnered full-page spreads in the society pages of local news- papers. These days they fly a little more under the radar, but the club still draws hundreds of guests to the year’s highlight event: Fashion Plates, a show that dou- bles as a silent auction, selling the table settings the women design. The club’s bread-and-butter events, though, are the monthly luncheons, which are, as much SCU ARCHIVES as anything, a chance to catch up.
