RARE! “Fordham University President" Laurence McGinley Signed 5.75X3.5 Card

Description: Up for auction a RARE! "Fordham University" Laurence McGinley Hand Signed 5.75X3.5 Card.  ES-8039E The Very Rev. Laurence J. McGinley, S.J., president of Fordham University from 1949 to 1963 and a major figure in the creation of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, died on Saturday in Murray Weigel Hall, the infirmary for retired Jesuits at Fordham's campus at Rose Hill, in the Bronx. He was 86 years old. A spokeswoman for Fordham said the cause of death was old age. Witty, urbane, erudite and polished, Father McGinley was regarded as the quintessential Jesuit educator and what The New York Times once called "a New Yorker in the finest sense of the word." He was born on West 105th Street in Manhattan, the son of James and Alice McCabe McGinley. His father had for many years been chief of staff to the Commissioner of Accounts for New York City. Father McGinley grew up in Brooklyn, attended Public School 128 there and later studied at Xavier High School in Manhattan. He entered the Society of Jesus in 1922 and studied at St. Andrews-on-Hudson, Poughkeepsie, and Woodstock College in Maryland. Father McGinley was ordained to the priesthood in 1935. He received his licentiate in sacred theology in 1936. For a brief time thereafter, he served as chaplain of the City Home Hospital on Welfare Island, now known as Roosevelt Island. In 1937, he began graduate work in Rome at the Gregorian University and Biblical Institute and received his doctorate in sacred theology there in 1939. For a few months before the outbreak of World War II, he ran Vatican City's radio station. As the war began, he returned to the United States to teach at Woodstock College and to edit "Theological Studies," a Jesuit publication. He also wrote many scholarly articles for other Jesuit publications.
