One of the College’s beloved former tutors, Rev. Thomas A. McGovern, S.J., died on February 19, 1985. A graduate of the Université Laval in Quebec, Fr. McGovern previously taught at Canisius College in Buffalo, N.Y., before coming to Thomas Aquinas College in early 1972. He served as a member of the faculty and, later, the Board of Governors until his death in 1985. The following year he posthumously received the College’s highest honor, the Saint Thomas Aquinas Medallion.

Thomas Aquinas College Founding President Dr. Ronald McArthur often tells of an exchange he once had with a student many years ago when the student wanted to know who might have the answer to a very difficult philosophical question. “Well, you would go ask your bishop for the answer,” he replied.

“What if he doesn’t know?”

“Then you would ask the Pope.”

“What if the Pope doesn’t know?”

“Well, you would have to ask God.”

The student couldn’t resist. “What if God doesn’t know?”
