r o g er go ebel ’ 57, es q. , professor of law at Fordham University School of Law and a graduate of the College’s school of arts, has established two new awards for students in honor of notable Manhattan professors Dr. Alfred DiLascia, professor emeritus of philosophy, and the late Brother Charles Reutemann, former dean of the school of arts and sciences. “This is another example of professor Goebel’s generosity in honoring great teachers at Manhattan College,” says Dr. Mary Ann O’Donnell, dean of the school of arts. In addition to his current commitment, throughout the years Goebel has established the Brother Albert Paul Gladhill Scholarship and Brother Casimir Gabriel Costello Lecture at Manhattan. The Professor Alfred DiLascia Award for Philosophy will be awarded to the student who writes the best paper of the year in a philosophy course. DiLascia is currently professor emeritus of philosophy and has been a revered member of the faculty for 60 years. He received a B.A. from Queens College in 1946 and earned his M.A. and Ph.D. from Fordham University. DiLascia was the recipient of a Danforth Teacher Study Grant for 1960-61, one of three chosen in the New York metropolitan area, as well as for 1963-64. In 1993, he was awarded the Premio Internazionale Luigi Sturzo for his lifetime contribution to the study of Sturzo’s philosophy. The Brother Charles Reutemann Award for Religious Studies will be awarded to a senior religious studies major who writes the best religion paper of the year. Br. Reutemann was a graduate of The Catholic University
of America and earned an M.A. from Manhattan College, and a Ph.L. and Ph.D. from The Catholic University of America. He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and received the National Brotherhood Award from the National Association of Religious Brothers in 1988. Br. Reutemann taught theology and philosophy at Manhattan College from 1957 to 1967 and served as dean from 1959 to 1962. Both the awards will be presented in the spring during the award ceremonies for the individual honor societies. The Professor Alfred DiLascia Award for Philosophy will be given at the induction ceremony for Phi Sigma Tau, the philosophy honor society; and the Brother Charles Reutemann Award for Religious Studies at the religious studies honor society, Theta Alpha Kappa. Each recipient will be granted $500 dollars. The awards will be presented annually to students who exemplify achievement in philosophy and religious studies in honor of their predecessors. Goebel, a graduate of New York University School of Law, is the current director of the Fordham Center on European Union Law and was president of the American Foreign Law Association from 1997 to 2000. He is the recipient of the Fulbright Fellowship from the University of Tubingen, Germany, and was a partner at Courdert Brothers Paris in the Brussels and New York offices. He has served on the faculty of New York University School of Law, Seton Hall University School of Law and University of Paris, and was visiting chair at Jean Monnet of Bonn, Germany.
