Much has been written about Fr Bill White, both by his
former students and by his teaching colleagues. It says
much of the man that Fr Paul Andrews SJ, later
headmaster of the college, could say of the obituary which
he wrote for his confrere that it was ‘probably the best
piece of writing that I ever did’; such was the inspiration
of its subject. The obituary and two further appreciations
by Charles Lysaght (’58) and Philip McDonagh (’70)
appear in the Gonzaga Record 1988, now searchable
online as well as this volume.
Fr John Murphy SJ
One of the original ‘gang
of four’, Fr Murphy took
early responsibility for
rugby training, claiming a
significant victory against
Belvedere in Gonzaga’s
very first competitive
game in 1951. See Sport.
