Happy 175th birthday to a pivotal person in @BostonCollege history: Father Joseph Coolidge Shaw.
Who was Fr. Shaw?
In 1851, a few months before his death at the age of just 30, Fr. Shaw dictated in his will that he wanted his life insurance deed of $4,000 (over $160,000 today) and his library of approximately 1,800 volumes to help found a Jesuit College in Boston.
This became the first significant gift to create Boston College. And this is young Fr. Shaw's legacy today 👉 https://t.co/kalmXJrS1z
