Jim Flanagan began his Notre Dame career at the same time we did. After graduating from Seton Hall in New Jersey, he began his graduate studies and his teaching in the fall of 1964. His freshman English class included Tom Condon and Mike Baroody, whose liking for this energetic, encouraging force from Jersey City, NJ attracted numbers of us. While earning his doctorate, Jim began teaching at St. Mary’s College and then continued for a year or two after earning the Ph.D. He wrote his dissertation and, later, one of his books about the playwright Arthur Miller. But his achievements and his significant learning were always subordinate to the ambitions he fostered in his students. After returning to New Jersey, he taught at Monmouth College and settled nearby with his family.
