Sir, – In an article (Home News, July 9th) about the attempt by Boston College to stop the PSNI getting IRA tapes, Boston College is described as an Irish Jesuit University. Actually Boston College is a Jesuit University of the Jesuits of the New England Province.
However, it is true that Boston College has long had close associations with Ireland and the Irish Jesuits. Indeed such associations go back to the founder, John McElroy SJ who was from Enniskillen and founded the Boston College in 1864. – Yours, etc,
