Fordham University is the quintessential American-Catholic institution-and one now looked upon as among the best Catholic universities in the country. Its story is also the story of New York, especially the Bronx, and Fordham's commitment to the city during its rise, fall, and rebirth. It's a story of Jesuits, soldiers, alumni who fought in World Wars, chaplains, teachers, and administrators who made bold moves and big mistakes, ofpresidents who thought small and those who had vision. And of the first women, students and faculty, who helped bring Fordham into the 20th century. Finally it's the story of an institution's attempt to keep its Jesuitand Catholic identity as it strives for leadership in a competitive world. Combining authoritative history and fascinating anecdotes, Schroth offers an engaging account of Fordham's one hundred thirrty-seven years-here, updated, revised, and expanded to cover the new presidency of Joseph M. McShane, S.J., and the challenges Fordham faces in the new century.

About the Author
Raymond A. Schroth, S.J., is editor of Conversations, the magazine for American Jesuit colleges and universities. His own path crossed with Drinan's at several junctures, making his an ideal voice for investigating both the circumstances that made Drinan an important figure in American politics and his role as Jesuit priest within the Catholic Church. Schroth, previously Professor of Humanities at St. Peter's College, has been affiliated with five Jesuit colleges and universities; is the author of eight other books, including Fordham: A History and Memoir, Revised Edition (Fordham); and has been an editor and columnist for America, Commonweal, and The National Catholic Reporter.
