Dean and centenarian

Rita Kelleher was dean of the School of Nursing at BC from 1948 to 1968. She was among those receiving an honorary degree at our commencement. In March, Dean Kelleher celebrated her 100th birthday. That means that when she received her honorary degree that day she was 60 years old. She was younger then than just about all of us are today. Ho ... lee ... cow.

James Woods, SJ, dean of the Woods College of Advancing Studies (known in our time as the "Evening College"), wrote a very nice article about Dean Kelleher that appears in the current edition of The Voice, the magazine for graduates of the Connell School of Nursing.
