What is recorded here
Maguire left Edgeworthstown at six, carrying only the shape of that place inside him. Years later he returned twice as president of Georgetown, building schools and law halls until age took him. The boy who crossed an ocean became the man who shaped an institution, proving that distance does not erase beginnings.
Why this person is known: Irish-American Jesuit priest (1818–1886)
