Opening in May of 2003, Our Greatest Generation: Holy Cross
and WWII is the third major exhibit presented by the College
Archives. This exhibit presents three major themes: the experience
of its alumni in WWII; the experiences of Holy Cross men
who served as military chaplains; and the events and changes
which occurred on campus.
Photographs, papers and objects from the College Archives,
as well as memorabilia lent by alumni and friends are included
in this exhibit.
The display of the Medals of Honor awarded to the late Rev.
Joseph T. O’Callahan, S.J., Navy chaplain, former Holy
Cross professor of mathematics and physics, and the late
Marine Lt. John V. Power ’41 will be a highlight of
the exhibit. On Veterans Day, Nov. 11, 2003, storyteller
Jay O’Callahan will present “Father Joe,” the
story of his famous uncle.
