President of the University of Notre Dame

During his tenure as president and vice-president, Lemonnier strengthened the university's curriculum by adding more courses and faculty in math and the sciences. He began construction of the university library (now Bond Hall), which was named in his honor.[2] He was amicable and beloved by the student body for his closeness to the needs of students.[3] He died in office, at the young age of thirty five.

gollark: I read it before then, but still. English at school is very evil that way.
gollark: 1984 is actually part of the English GCSE course at my school (and/or exam board or whatever, not sure how that works). It's amazing how picking apart random bits of phrasing or whatever for hours on end ruin your enjoyment of a work.
gollark: Vaguely relatedly I think 1984 is entering the public domain next year. Copyright lasts for an excessively long time in my opinion.
gollark: Okay, but if you're talking about real-world examples I don't see why it's remotely relevant to say that the author of a book vaguely relating to those real-world examples believed X.
gollark: But why do his *beliefs* actually matter?
