James F. Ryan in College Who's Who

Selected by Student Body of St. Bonaventure for the Honor

Bainbridge News & Republican, Nov. 21, 1940

 

James F. Ryan, son of Mr. and Mrs. P.F. Ryan, of Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], and a student at St. Bonaventure College, gained a singular honor this past week when in a poll sponsored by the publication "Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges," Mr. Ryan was voted the right by the St. Bonaventure College student body to have his name and biographical sketch included in that publication.  This "Who's Who" is a national publication appearing annually, and containing a brief writeup of the outstanding students as selected by their student bodies.  The admission requirements consist in the qualities of character, leadership, personality and scholarship.  Statistics show that men thus selected are the most likely to succeed in their post-college days.

 

Mr. Ryan who is in his senior year has made a remarkable record at college.  Besides being an earnest student, he has served his class two years as secretary; was vice-president of his fraternity last year and this year its president; and also serves as vice president of the Student Senate, the college law making body.  The field of sports has also felt his presence.  For three years he has represented his class in basketball and track but his best records have been made in boxing.  St. Bonaventure College  is proud to claim this man as her own and extends to him most sincere wishes for a prosperous future.
