    BOSTON COLLEGE FACT BOOK 1977 r/~ BOSTON COLLEGE FACT BOOK 1977 I I i ~ FOREWORD It is a pleasure to pUblish the 1977 edition of the Boston College Fact Book, the contents of which have again been expanded to include data suggested by our readers. Because of the quantity of information to be reproduced, it has become too costly and too time-consuming to retype the entire book each year, and we have therefore switched to computerized typesetting. All data are now stored on magnetic tape, which means that the annual update can be accomplished merely by supplying the printer with the latest figures. Additional information can be incorporated just as easily; Besides economy and speed, the new production method has resulted in a less cumbersome book, and easier-to-read tables. The Fact Book serves as a single source for Boston College's vital statistics, which could otherwise be obtained only by consulting each contributor individually. Obtaining numbers from one reference document also assures consistency in published figures. As always, we have attempted to find and correct inaccuracies or inconsistencies. If you spot any, please let us know. We also welcome ideas for improvements and refinements, as well as suggestions for additional data that our readers might find useful.

The Fact Book is intended to serve as a reference for information about the University’s faculty, students, alumni, personnel, facilities, and budget. The 2003-2004 Boston College Fact Book reflects year-end data from the 2002-2003 fiscal and academic years. In certain instances, information relating to the fall of 2003 (academic year 2003-2004) is presented. Much of the information contained in the Fact Book is cumulative and references annual data for the preceding five- or ten-year period. Other information is presented in a single year format. We are grateful to the many departments and individuals who provided data for this book - the 31st edition of the Fact Book. The majority of the information is extracted from reports produced on a regular basis by the various source offices. Inquiries and comments regarding specific data should be addressed to the responsible office (noted at the bottom of each item). The Fact Book is also available in its entirety at http://www.bc.edu/factbook. We welcome your comments and suggestions for additional information that might be included or improvements in the way information is presented.

  • 2019 ~ 2020 Annual Report 2019 — 2020 ANNUAL REPORT
    2019 ~ 2020 Annual Report 2019 — 2020 ANNUAL REPORT Letter from Fr. Michael P. Caruso, S.J., President Dear Friends, As I compose this letter it has been a few months now since I have turned over the presidential reins to the very capable hands of Mr. John Chandler. There are several things that come to my mind as I think about the past ten years, and this past year in particular. If there is one word to capture what is in my heart, it would be ‘gratitude.’ It has been a great privilege to work with and for the young people of Saint Ignatius College Prep. You are reading this bulletin because you too believe in this great educational project and have chosen to support it in so many ways. We could not deliver this Catholic education in the Jesuit tradition without our families and loyal alumni and friends. As I often told people over the years, “…it takes a lot of money to run an excellent school like this, but it is worth the investment.” Along with our current school families, it has been a tremendous joy to know the alumni and friends of the school. Over my ten years, you have welcomed me into this dynamic community, and I feel very blessed by your friendship. The Corona pandemic jettisoned graduation and several of our 150th anniversary celebrations, but our school remains strong and resilient, prepared to face the future. Reading our school’s history and learning about the various challenges that have been faced through the decades, we can be confident, with God’s grace and our faith, that a bright future is ahead.

  • Americans Preparing Vatican Ii
    AMERICANS PREPARING VATICAN II The Church is mbject only to the limits of the human race (md the existence of the wodd. She knows no other boundaries than these. Speaking of our unity in Christ, St. Pa11! tells us: "There is neither Jew nor Greek,- there is neither slave nor freeman,- there is neither male 110r female" (Gal. 3: 28). Yet the mem­ bers of the Church are all from distinct parts of the globe, and each of them is justly proud of his home­ lal'ld and his countrymen. Thus, although there is no difference of men ilz the Church's view of things, we can still take justifiable pride in our American leaders who have been selected to serve the Church on the Preparatory Commissions for the Second Vatican Council. Why is one man appointed as a member or con­ sultor of a Commission rather than another? To dig out information about America11 participants in the pre-Council work, our team of researchers sent many inquiries and letters asking this very question. The replies were varied, but one of the most candid and enlightening came from a consultor who is not an American. Very Rev. Amand Reuter, O.M.I., con­ sttltor of the Commission for the Missions, is a Ger­ man citizen by birth, although he did teach in San Antonio, Texas, for a few years. His friendly reply, with tongue in cheek, is pleasant reading. He wrote: 156 DOMINICANA "Why one is appointed as a member or a consultor (like myself) of a preparatory commission? Either be­ cause known (and remembered!) as outstanding in some field of ecclesiastical science or activity, or be­ cause of being considered useful for the daily work.

  • Chancery Correspondence, 1946
    1 Chancery Correspondence, 1946 19 Boxes of correspondence, filed alphabetically by name of the sender. The content of these documents ranges from astonishingly trivial, routine chancery business such as dispensations from the Lenten fast, etc., to quite significant correspondence dealing with postwar world problems such as refugees, relief, communism, the United Nations, and many other subjects. Since Samuel Cardinal Stritch was serving as chairman of the administrative board of the National Catholic Welfare Conference (NCWC) during 1946, there is extensive correspondence between him and other NCWC officers. The NCWC material deals with many important postwar political matters. There are monthly foreign affairs surveys prepared for the conference, and wide-ranging correspondence dealing with the problems of Eastern Europe. The majority of documents are found in two places, under N for NCWC and under S for Stritch. There seems to be no logical criterion why a particular document is in one series or the other. There are also significant NCWC documents filed under the surnames of other officials, in particular, Monsignor Howard Carroll, the general secretary of the NCWC; Monsignor Patrick O’Boyle, the director of War Relief Services; Bishop Mark Gannon, treasurer of War Relief Services; Father Patrick Tanner, director of the Peace Committee; and Father Aloysius Wycisclo, director of the Polish Relief and Refugee Committee. There are extensive files listed under B for Bishops’ War and Emergency Relief Commission, and N for NCWC (War Relief Services). The Bishops’ War and Emergency Relief Commission was founded in 1941; but after 1943 it limited itself to purely religious causes, such as rebuilding churches and aiding priests who had been displaced from their homelands.

This book is intended as a single, readily accessible, consistent source of information about the Boston College Community, its resources, and its operations. It is a summary of institutional data gathered from many areas of the University, compiled to capture the 2003-2004 Fiscal and Academic Year, and the fall semester of the 2004-2005 Academic Year. Where appropriate, multiple years of data are provided for historical perspective. It is not all encompassing but will provide pertinent facts and figures valuable to administrators, faculty, staff, and students alike. Sincere appreciation is extended to all contributors who offered their time and expertise to maintain the greatest possible accuracy and standardization of their data. We are indebted to IR staff members Jessica Greene, Carol Pepin, and Margaret Ryan for their assistance and input. A special thank you is also extended to graduate students, Jackie Gould and Thomas McGuinness, for their diligence and attention to detail. A concerted effort is made to make this publication an increasingly more useful reference, at the same time enhancing your understanding of the scope and progress of the University. We welcome your comments and suggestions toward that goal. This fact book, as well as those from previous years, is available in its entirety at http://www.bc.edu/factbook. Christine Buscemi Kelli J.
