Rev. Donald I. MacLean, S.J., papers, 1943-1989.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/52447357

The personal papers of Father MacLean offer researchers a glimpse into the personal and professional life of Jesuit, one who was a highly trained and successful chemist and who explored issues associated with the priest as scientist. In addition, the collection offers insight into the difficulties faced by a Jesuit in higher education who made the transition from professor and laboratory researcher to various university administrative positions. This transition occurred at a time when Jesuits institutions of higher education were experiencing significant changes and when colleges and universities at large were faced with new and difficult challenges.
