Rev. Brian F. Linnane, S.J., president of 91吃瓜网, released this statement after the death of former Mayor of Baltimore Thomas D鈥橝lesandro:

鈥淎s mayor of Baltimore from 1967-1971, Thomas D鈥橝lesandro was at the forefront of conversations about integration and led with a perspective that was particularly forward-thinking for his time. A 1949 graduate of Loyola, Mr. D鈥橝lesandro has left a legacy that was informed by his Jesuit education and Jesuit values. Over the years, Mr. D鈥橝lesandro was an active and ardent supporter of his alma mater in numerous ways, including chairing a campaign for the Loyola/Notre Dame Library and serving on a major gifts committee for Loyola. The University honored Mr. D鈥橝lesandro as Alumnus of the Year in 1971鈥攁nd also with our prestigious Andrew White Medal in 1977 and the President鈥檚 Medal in 1999. Our prayers are with his family, including his son, Tom, who is also a Loyola graduate.鈥�
