Members of Misericordia’s administration praised Connery and his 25 years of service to the College, saying he was a signifi- cant part of the College's develop- ment. Thomas O'Neil, dean of finance and administrative affairs, said Connery established and supervised several departments, and played an important. role in the construction of two buildings on campus. “He was the College's first male employee and its first business manager,” O'Neil commented. “He ran the business side of the Col- lege and really got it in line.” Anyone wishing to contribute to the James J.

Construction of the townhouses includes 12 two-story units, each with the capacity to house eight students. For the immediate future, however, only 48 students will occupy the apart- ments.
