Description

In Memoriam
Rev. William F. Lynch, S.T.B, Ph.D.
Born December 7, 1905
Ordained May 21, 1932
Died December 5, 1960
The flag flew at half-mast in December as the College mourned the death of one of its most beloved
faculty members, Father William Lynch.
In the scientific sphere his achievements received
international recognition; to us he represented an
inspiring example of man's never ending thirst for
knowledge.
Scientist, educator, and priest, we must place emphasis on the latter. His warmly human, yet unassuming qualities enhanced the nature of his calling.
His loss was deeply felt by the whole of the college
community.
"Behold a great priest who in his days pleased
God."
