In Store for Science
Nothing draws the public eye toward a
university's science program more than a
vigorous research program, in which the
scientific method is put to work with results which are often startling.
In all these years Notre Dame, Penn, or
Cornell have held a monopoly on giant strides
made in the cause of discovery. Notre Dame
had its chemical research in synthetic materials which led to a significant contract
with Goodyear and a number of other large
rubber companies.
In the field of Physics, Penn has labored
for years with its ion acceleration project.
Villanova's share in the headlines will
follow soon after the completion in 1961 of
the new $4,000,000 Science Building, now taking shape on the area between the Library
and John Barry Hall.
The best of modern facilities are expected to open up new vistas of research at Villanova by the science faculty and graduate students. But larger spaces and more labs are
only the beginning. The present technical
skill and zeal of the department members
should bring the program to wide prominance.
No, it won't have an atom smasher, but
nuclear research will flourish in the fully
equipped "hot" laboratory, with the installation of the sub-critical nuclear reactor the
school will purchase.
Astronomy will get its biggest boost since
the original Newtonian-type eight-inch, reflector telescope first poked itseli through the
small observatory dome atop Mendel Hall.
That scope will be humbled by the new
$8,000 refractor type which will resolve distinctions in the tiniest star group.
Of course, the Chemistry and Physics departments will welcome contracts from business, if they are earned.

To most of the students at Villanova, Leo Goodreau is merely a name
that decorates the stadium and appears
the VILLANOVAN every
week, but he is far more than that.
In 1927 the Villanova Stadium was
erected and dedicated. The entire Villanova student body attended ^his
ceremony. One of these students was
a freshman who was destined to die
on that field within one short year.

PERHAPS
Villanova University ha.s produced
many outstanding men throughout its
years of CathoMc education. Among
these men some have been brilliant
students, some excellent athletes and
other superior gentlemen. But perhaps one of the finest men ever to
enter Villanova, a humble composition
of each of these qualities, never graduated. The man today is a shining
memory to those of the faculty who
have been at Villanova since 1930,
and to the present undergraduates,
merely a simple name on a tarnished
plaque. This man, to whom the VILLANOVAN is respectfully dedicated,
is Leo Goodreau, a scholar, an athlete,
and most of all, a gentleman.

•aggressive play was immediately tagged as a future star and a sure bet' to
take over the first string quarterback
slot 0n the varsity the next fall.
In his first Rame for the Villanova
frosh, he scored the first touchdown
to be recorded in the new stadium, a
touchdown which opened the season
and the stadium with a triumph.
Little did Leo realize that in the space
of a few short years this field would
be named Goodreau Stadium.
Baseball Too
Although he was the finest football
player that Villanova had seen in
quite some tune, this was not his best
sport. Despite his skill as a •quarterback, Leo showed as much |f not more
proficiency as a catcher on the baseball team.
His coach, Charles A.
McGeehan, predicted that he easily
had a major league career before hhn
if
he wanted it
He was
truly a great
athlete.
Leo, deeply engaged in athletics,
nevertheless had an abundance of
tune for social activity. He was instrumental in conducting the frdshman dance in the spring of 192^.
Under his leadership and determination the dance became the most successful in the history of the class. In
appreciation for his fine effort, the
class elected him to the position of
Secretary shortly before the scholastic year terminated.
Revived Spirit
He was
also instrumental in re.viving Villanova's fraternities which
were practically non-existent. Meet-
ings were seldom held and little was
accomplished when they were. He revived the Epsilon Phi Thettf Fraternity into one of the most active social
clubs on the campus. In order to remain in the campus picture the frats
were forced to rejuvenate and the
school spirit flourished as it never had
before. Leo had solidly proven that a
lack of spirit had no place on the
Villanova campus.
Despite this unusually heavy schedule, Leo maintained a scholastic average which placed bun in the uppet
half of his class.
His
coach,'
Harry
Stuhldreher, figured on him as poten-.
tial Ail-American on th^ gridiron and
n shining light' in the Villanova fbot,ball picture. It was a sure thing. But
he was never given Ihe chance to
show his All-American calibre to the
rest of the sports world, for the Lord
had other and far greater plans for
Leo
Goodreau.
J.
On the field Leo never gave up
digging, and ironically this hustle
cost him his life.
His Last Flay
One early September afternoon he
was
calling offensive signals for the
varsity i^^ainst the frosh in a grueling
scrimmage " held in preparation for
Villanova's game. The frosh lined up
determined to prove their mettle
against a larger and more ezpert»
enced varsity. As the ball was snaoped to a halfback, Leo, who besides
being a triple threat on offense was a
demon on defense, bolted forward
leadhig the interference. The frosh
line charged. There was a quick pileup. It was Leo Goodreau's last play.
When the players unpiled, Leo was
lying quite still, face down on the
turf. As he slowly came to, his face
was contorted with pain. A teammate
tried to help the stricken player to
his feet and he shrieked with pain.
His back had been brutally broken.
He was given no chance of survival
by the specialists called in on the
case. He was almost completely paralyzed. His back was broken alright,
but his

he was fighting for his life. He refused to give up. He insisted on
hearing all the football scores that
grim Saturday; his wish was not denied. He assured everyone that someday he would be back hi the Villanova

spirit
was he
"line-up." But Leo underestimated
himself, for he was soon to participate in a far more rewarding "line-
up."
Undefeated Seaaoe
When
it was recognised that he was
not going to pull through, there was
talk of postponmg the entire football
schedule, but Leo would have nothing
Villanova
to do with this idea. He movingly
complained that it was not only unfair to the team whkh had worked
so hard for so long, but even unfair
to himself.
It is merely an anti-climax to state
that the ViUanova football team, inspired by this tough plucky youth
swept on to an undefeated season,
crushing all opposition.
The Lest Sperk
But soon the fight became too
much, even for Leo Goodreau. He
confided to his coach, Harry Stuhldreher, 'Tve given the best that is hi
me, I'm tired out, I can't hold out
much longer." Death was near. He
was given the Last Rites and soon
lapsed into a coma. While in this

the time ef the death had this description: "It was a beautiful but sad

that same staunchness of heart which
marked him on the football field."
At the funeral hi Villanova's College Chapel, the casket was carried
by his former teammates. The entire
student body was present at the Solemn High funeral Mass.
The situation was not radically

merely playing for a new Coach and

"This dance is held for the
purpose of supplying funds for
the four campus fraternities.
Proceeds are divided among
these fraternities on a percentage basis, based on the number
of tickets sold by each fraternity". For this reason Keller urges all to attend, including the
many who will undoubtedly join
a frat in the future.
Frosh Debut
Keller said this affair will not
only enable Frosh to support the
fraternity of their choice but
will also allow them to start
their social season off on the
