*NOTE: Since there was no Department of Political Science at Holy Cross before 1970, those who studied at Holy Cross before that year (the year when the departments separated) and later earned doctorates in political science are included in this list as are those in some other disciplines which did not exist at Holy Cross as separate departments in the humanities. Noteworthy is the statistic about Holy Cross, in Thomas Sowell’s Choosing a College (2003), which ranks it among eight leading liberal arts colleges for having 283 graduates from all fields pursuing doctorates during the decade from 1977 to 1986. While a number of these are on this list, this compilation does not include people whose writings entitle them to be recognized as historians like Rev. John J. McCoy (deceased), Class of 1876, the historian of the Diocese of Springfield, upon whom Holy Cross conferred an honorary doctorate in 1904; Thomas F. Troy, (1919-2008), Class of 1941, who is recognized for his historical studies dealing with national security; Thomas Phelan (deceased), Class of 1946, who served as dean of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (1972-1995) and was recognized as its historian; Michael Harrington (deceased), Class of 1947; whose political writings, especially The Other America (1962), have left their mark on the nation and upon whom Holy Cross also conferred an honorary doctorate in 1971; the late Robert G. Kane, Sr., Class of 1955, who was for forty years at Worcester State where he served as chair of the history department; Nancy Lusignan Schultz,Class of 1978, who earned her doctorate in English from Boston College but is really an historian as her study, Fire & Roses: The Burning of the Charlestown Convent, 1834 (2000), indicates; Peter Jankowski, Class of 1986, Executive Producer of Law & Order and other shows; and David Mitchell, Class of 1991, who is the 2009 Preserve America History Teacher of the Year. Others like Mark G. Brennan, Class 1986, at the University of Pennsylvania; Michael E. Neagle, Class of 1998, at the University of Connecticut; and Paul J. Tabor, Class of 1977, at Columbia University, are finishing their doctorates. Lastly, for their help in compiling this list, Rev. Vincent A. Lapomarda, S. J., is grateful to a number of persons at Holy Cross, above all, his present and past colleagues in the Department of History and Roseann Fitzgerald of the Development Office.
Kindly inform Fr. Lapomarda if there are any names that should be added or subtracted from this list.
