LAST RITES Sc
FOR FATHER
D0|VL0N
Former Georgetown University
Head to Be Buried In
Poughkeepsie, N. Y.

Funeral services for the Rev. AL
phonsus J. Donlon, 8. u, former
president OF Georgetown University,
has been set for tomorrow morning
at the House of Jesus, in P0ugh-
keepsie, N Y. The body will be
inferred on the plot Of the Jesuit
order.
While preaching in Marymount.
on-the-Hudson, Monday night, the
Rev. Donlon was taken i'll with
angina pectoris, a heart affection,
and died a few hours later.
The Rev. Donlon had been con-
spicuous figure at Georgetown Uni
versity ever since he became mem
Der Of the student body in the early
SOS. At that time Ii was his unap-
proachable scholastic standing that
attracted the attention of the entire
school. When q member of the.
faculty, he became known as the
father Of athletics in the university.
Then, from 1912 to 1918, he was head
of the institution.
Born in Albany, N. r.. October.
1867, he obtained the rudiments of
his education at the Boys Academy
in that city. In 1883 he enteredd the
Georgetown Preparatory School. A
year elapsed and he was permitted
entry to the college, where he was
awarded the &C" for his services on
the football and baseball teams.
When Father Donlon graduated
from the, university. he received the
medal of phi1osophy-the highest
scholastic honor in those days. In
1895, he was made physics profess
scr, the same year being made head
of the schools athletics. He re-
manned in this capacity for five
years before returning to Wood
stock College, where he completed
s. course in theology. He was or
dained to the priesthood by Cardinal
Gibbons in 1903. At woodstock lie
was professor of sciences.
In 1911 Father Donlon was chosen
assistant provincial of the Mary
land-New York province of the
Jesuit order. He held this position
until he returned to Georgetown
College for the third time as its
president on January %, 1912. DUR
ing his six years as president,
Father DonIon did much to improve
the standards of the institution,
establishing the School of Foreign
Service. He also took an active in.
terest in athletics, and despite his
long years in the priesthood he
never forgot the fine points of base
ball or football. and always was an
enthusiastic rooter at all George
, town games.
| Father Donlon was succeeded as
president of Georgetown in 1913 by
the Rev. John b. Creeden. S. j..
and went to Brooklyn College for
year and then to st. Francis.
| Xavier College, New York. Last
summer he was appointed professor
| of philosophy at Fordham Univer-
sity, with which institution he was
connected at the time Of bis deaths
To Father Donlon is attributed
the reinstatement Of football at
Georgetown University. Under his
direction the first indoor track meet
of Georgetown University was held.
