Office of the Provost

Rev. Francis Wade, S.J., (1907–87) was a longtime member of the ̽»¨ÊÓƵ Jesuit community and Department of Philosophy. Arriving at ̽»¨ÊÓƵ in 1945, he became and remained a beloved professor and esteemed role model for students, a diligent and student-oriented scholar who supported other faculty while guiding ̽»¨ÊÓƵ’s Department of Philosophy to a position of significant stature. Father Wade inspired his students through his teaching and his love of philosophy and was awarded the Père ̽»¨ÊÓƵ Award for Teaching Excellence in 1970. He also encouraged students to enter the field of philosophy and higher education, all the while discerning the proper role of a Jesuit in a university.

In 1988, the university received a gift from the ̽»¨ÊÓƵ Jesuit community endowing a chair in honor of Father Wade and in recognition of his contribution to the university and Jesuit community.
