The Wall

We all are tired of him. We need a chance at BC!!! Do we need to write to the pope, to Boston Cardinal, to President Trump, to the general of the Jesuits in Rome??? Or do we have to wait until Jesus call him to the light of his face? I know wall you aren’t tired of him, for all you care is money and endowments and building… you will never understand; you’re not a human, but don’t you get we need a change?

Fr. Leahy will end his presidency when he retires or the Board of Trustees decides he should no longer be President of BC. Also, having a different President does not necessarily mean you will like the changes that they make. Rather than wishing for a new President, you might let Fr. Leahy know the changes you would like to see. Finally, I care much more about you and the people at BC than I do about money and endowments (although as a wall I do care a great deal about buildings).

I’m right here. It’s just that “here” has less paper and pencil in it. And I miss the post-its, too, I have to admit.

Leahyphobia stands to Phobia to Fr. Leahy SJ, The Jesuit priest who walks to his office from St. Mary’s. I think he suffer from BCstudensphobia, a phobia he never will recover!!! Any suggestions for that too?

For students suffering from Leahyphobia, my advice is to avoid him during your time at BC. This should be easy enough to do if, as you say, Fr. Leahy also has a fear of students. Actually, I don’t think Fr. Leahy fears students. The burden of leading BC is very time consuming (especially during a pandemic), so while you might not see Fr. Leahy often, know that he dedicates his entire work day to improving BC.

Can you problem solve that for me so I have a room to Zoom in my class? Thx!

I am sorry the room has been used as storage. Unfortunately, the libraries have had to reduce their seating capacity by 60% to make sure spaces are conducive to maintaining social distancing, and room 511 is one of the spaces that was used to store furniture. There are spaces in the libraries that were adjusted for students to attend online classes: Third floor north side (Reading Room and behind Reference). Additionally, O’Neill Library’s 246, 246A, 247, 248 are generally available 9am-5pm when classes are not in session. We have removed room 511 from Circulation, and apologize for the inconvenience.

Honestly, I have a mixed feeling ab the fact that I would probably travel to the airport 10 times by the end of this year.

It is so good to see all your faces, even if I don’t get to see your faces completely! I do hope there are no retreats home needed. Happy fall semester!

O’Neill? Bapst? or perhaps more conceptual? you speak for ~all~ walls. I suppose not though, since you only speak of what a wall says at good ole Boston College?

In my physical form I’m a dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill, so I suppose that’s my primary affiliation. But walls are many and interrelated. I have friends who do this work at other libraries, and my mother is a sea wall in the North Shore. So yes, I do also identify with walls everywhere. But I can only speak for myself.
