According to a brief profile in the Worcester Business Journal, he would have been an architect. Which may explain some of the design aspects of new buildings on Mt St James..

Also, according the WBJ, Cliff Rucker (of the Railers) now owns the Worcester Palladium, which I guess is the top music club venue in Worcester.

He's had the Palladium for a while. He needed a place to go in the summer for all the parking in the area he bought. I'm out of that scene, but I'm not sure the Palladium is the top music club in Worcester or how you would define the top club. Sir Morgans Cove is still in business and has music more nights than the Palladium, but the Palladium is a larger venue and can pull in more people |

My reaction is simple: Who cares? We're stuck with Buroughs, malheureusement.
The next HC president has got to be someone with purple in his (or her) veins. I would like that person to be a Jesuit. But that should not be the ultimate test. We may need to consider (gasp!) a layman/laywoman for the post. A deep understanding of all aspects of the College...academic and athletic...is critical. Go Crusaders!
PS -- I was wearing a Clemson shirt at the gym earlier today and got into a chat with a fellow who's a Clemson grad. When I told him that I was not a Tiger myself, but that one of my daughters had done her first two college years at Clemson (thus the shirt) before transferring to UNC-Chapel Hill, he asked me where I had gone. When I told him HC, he said "Really good college. And once a big time basketball school." Sic transit gloria mundi!

If it's any consolation, Fr. B. has opined that he will likely be the last Jesuit president of Holy Cross.

If it's any consolation, Fr. B. has opined that he will likely be the last Jesuit president of Holy Cross. The number of Jesuits is decreasing. The number of Jesuits interested in being a college/university president is decreasing even faster. HC is not high on the list of Jesuit institutions where a Jesuit president is a Jesuit priority. IMO, the President of Loyola MD is being saved for BC. Again IMO, BC is likely to have a Jesuit president for as long as possible because BC grabbed the Jesuit School of Theology (or whatever its title is). The likelihood that the next President of HC will have 'purple in their veins' is small. The likelihood that the next president of Holy Cross will have 'purple in their veins' and be a great proponent of athletics is smaller still. Fr. Linnane would have been the candidate who might have filled the criteria being set out, but as I noted above, it seems to me he is being saved for BC. |
