About the Book

This is a story of one person's journey through Boston College from 1960 to 2016 and also the journey of Boston College as seen through that person's eyes. A young Lutheran came in with a fair degree of skepticism as to whether he would last at a Catholic school He retired after 56 years with a deep appreciation for the gift of Ignition spirituality. Boston College evolved from a commuter college for first-generation college students to a cosmopolitan university of international acclaim. The author's path included learning to cope with failure and then with some success. Along the way he learned to appreciate what he calls the fallacy of time management and the joy that comes from giving. The journey of Boston College included surviving a financial crisis in 1968-72 and a determined effort to maintain its Catholic and Jesuit identity as it grew in stature. The process of maintaining that identity, and discerning what it means to be Catholic and Jesuit with a diverse faculty that includes fewer Jesuit priests, was not an easy one.
About the Author: Harold Petersen is an Associate Professor Emeritus at Boston College. He grew up in Minnesota surrounded by Lutherans and arrived at Boston College in 1960 with some trepidation as to what it might be like to teach at a Catholic school. He lasted 56 years, during which time he was awarded the Loyola Medal, the John R. Traska, S.J., Award for mentorship of extra-curricular activities, and the Phi Beta Kappa Teaching Award. He was made an honorary member of Alpha Sigma Nu (the Jesuit Honor Society) and he served as chair of the Department of Economics for a total of eleven years. He lives in Brookline, Massachusetts, with Candy, his bride of 57 years, and the two of them have three children and seven grandchildren. He continues to be active in his town, in his church, and at Boston College, where he and his wife are avid sports fans.
