million Catholic Inner-City School Fund, providing scholarships and

endowment to establish a chair in Roman Catholic Studies at the University
of Chicago. He also funds an annual lecture series, "The Church in Society,"
at St. Mary of the Lake Seminary, Mundelein, Illinois, from which he
received his S.T.L. in 1954. A Chicago native, he earned his M.A. in 1961
and his Ph.D. in 1962 from the University of Chicago. He is a penetrating
student of popular culture who is deeply engaged with the world around him.
