Leadership at its most profound is a form of ministry, a form of service personified by the six ''Founding Fathers'' profiled in this book. John McElroy was not an academic, but he was a leader who overcame difficult barriers to establishing a college for the children of Irish immigrants, John Bapst was a man of great zeal who suffered persecution and stayed the course, Robert Fulton understood the world of ideas and fostered an academic culture at the young college, Thomas Gasson showed extraordinary vision in moving Boston College to Chestnut Hill, Michael Walsh understood that Boston College could become a great research university, and J. Donald Monan was the prime architect of Boston Colleges remarkable revival and growth. For their example, and for what they saw and what they built, all of us associated with Boston College today owe them much.
