Father Patrick Malone, Rector of Loyola College from 1959 and Vice-Rector of Concordia from 1973 to 1974, has died in Pickering, Ontario, in his 83rd year.

Father Malone will long be remembered for leading what had been a small men’s college of 850 students into a complex urban institution of more than 13,000 full-time and part-time students.
He was one of the leading English-speaking Jesuit educators in Canada, fulfilling academic administrative posts in Halifax and Winnipeg as well as here in Montreal and in Pickering, where he was based at Manresa Retreat House at the time of his death, and where his funeral will be held today.

The university and the Jesuit community will hold a memorial service on March 8 at 3:30 p.m. in the Loyola Chapel, to which all are invited.
