McCarthy, O .P., P h .D. 0 $ Our New President IN COMMENCEMENT DAY, June 16, 1 9 2 7 , the Reverend Lo renzo C. McCarthy was appointed President of Providence College to succeed the Very Reverend William D. Noon, --------- who had finished his second term as President of the college. Although the retirement of Fr. Noon occasioned much regret, the ap pointment of his successor was received with wide satisfaction. In Father McCarthy one of the most promising men in the Dominican Order is entrusted with the destinies of Providence College. Father McCarthy was bom in Providence, Rhode Island, June 19, 1 8 8 9 , but while he was still very young his parents moved to Woon socket. He attended the public schools there, and La Salle Academy, Providence, from which he was graduated with honors in 1 9 0 5 . Enter ing Holy Cross College he studied there four years, receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1 9 0 9 . The next year he taught in the schools of Harrisville, Rhode Island. In September, 1910, he entered St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore, Maryland, to study for the priesthood. His vocation to the religious life, which asserted itself during his years in the Seminary, was heeded, and in September, 1914, Lorenzo McCarthy applied and was admitted to the Dominican Novitiate at St. Joseph's Convent, Somerset, Ohio. The following year he was sent to the House of Studies, Washington, D. C. Upon the completion of his theological studies he was ordained to the priesthood in the the Dominican House of Studies, on Septem ber 16, 1917, by the Right Reverend Thomas J. Shahan, Rector of the Catholic University. After two years' further study he received the degree of Lector of Sacred Theology in June, 1919. In September, 1919, Father McCarthy came to Providence College as Professor of Philosophy, remaining in this capacity until 1924. In the fall of 1 9 2 4 he was sent to Louvain University where he specialized in psychological studies, and was awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, July 11,1926. Returning to this country after 1 2 Providence College Alembic an extended tour of Europe and the Near East, Father McCarthy went to the Dominican House of Philosophy in Chicago, serving as Dean of the Department of Philosophy until he was assigned his present duties. Father McCarthy has the distinction of being one of the youngest college Presidents in the country. The record of his achievements, there fore, has still to be written. However, his thorough preparation, his scholarly, judicious mind, and his sympathetic attitude toward all things collegiate assure us that the list of his accomplishments will be long. O f his success we have no doubt, and as a token of our confidence and esteem we herewith pledge our Very Reverend President a whole hearted and lasting co-operation. John H . F. O’Connell, *28.
