Brother Paul drove the evolution of Marian College from a Training School to a liberal arts institution. Here he photographed the second graduating class of 1948.
As Master of Scholastics, Brother Paul emphasized the international character of the Brothers. Here two Canadian student brothers pose by a statue of Saint Joseph, one of Brother Paul's favorite devotions.
