On March 27, the Crusader Council of the Knights of Columbus celebrated its 75th anniversary with a Mass and dinner on campus. Founded in 1929 by John J. Spillane '22, it was the first college council of the Knights of Columbus established on a Jesuit college or university campus. Today the organization numbers about 350 members, including 35 students currently enrolled at the College.
