ENCAENIA, MAY, 1970
JAMES OWEN DINEEN
to be Doctor of Science
From its own ranks the University has been fortunate in finding a new president who has taken firm hold of the reins of administration and has led us through a year of productive activity. A farm boy of Kings County who became a man of mark as a freshman, a young radar instructor who has taken with sure step each stage of the academic profession, a Dean of Engineering who has enjoyed the respect of all segments of the University, is the holder of our destiny on shoulders that are broad and strong. When he was young he won both the Beaverbrook and Rhodes Scholarships and ever since he has excelled. The only time he has ever been known to fall has been in sport, on the steep slope of a New Brunswick hill in the winter season.
Irish by descent and cheerful by temperament, President Dineen knows no dismay in his academic travails. His patience is great enough to endure all eccentricities of Faculty and students and he has shown a grand capacity to outlast them at all levels of discussion. The award of an honorary degree today is a token of great expectations.
