Beacon Book Club
To say William B. Neenan, S.J., left a lasting legacy at Boston College is a vast understatement. During his tenure at BC, he held several positions, including academic vice president and dean of faculties. Above all, he was a friend to the entire community. For nearly 35 years, his “Dean’s List” highlighted 27 books chosen by the man himself, and BC received thousands of requests for it. We continue this tradition here with the Beacon Book Club. In each issue of Beacon, a leading member of the BC community will add a pertinent or favorite book to the list.
