Collection Overview

Title: President's Office. Rev. Francis Moriarty, SSE, 1952-1958

ID: SMC 2/009

Extent: 7.5 Linear Feet

Arrangement: Material is not arranged.

Scope and Contents of the Materials

The Moriarty subgroup contains many items generated by the President’s office during Moriarty’s term. However, since materials were allowed to accumulate in the offices and were not arranged until significantly after the term, it is possible that items generated by his office can be found in the files of president’s who came after him.

Collection Historical Note

Father Moriarty was appointed to the position of President of Saint Michael’s College in 1952. He became the last president to serve also as Superior of the local SSE house. Moriarty had attended Saint Michael’s and returned within a couple of years of his graduation. He then went to become principal of the newly established SSE apostolate Cardinal Mindszenty High School in Dunkirk, NY. After gaining valuable administrative skills at CMHS, he returned to Saint Michael’s as president. He took over as the school was about to launch the innovative Saint Michael’s Plan of liberal education. He was at the helm as the school expanded to include an international component with the Center for International Programs and Teaching English as A Second Language programs. The campus itself expanded under his leadership, with new quad dorms added to house an ever-increasing number of men.
