Fr Oswald Mathias: A Personal Tribute

A Personal Tribute SUNIL MANI Father Oswald Mathias, or Ossie as he was affectionately called is no more. He passed away, after a brief illness, on December 23, 2002. He served Loyola College, Madras as a professor of economics and as a warden of the college library with great distinction for over three decades. Needless to add Ossie belonged to that vanishing breed of extremely dedicated and conscientious teachers. These teachers did not have fancy degrees attached to their names, but their dedication, hard work and selfless devotion to their duty made up for everything that they did not have.
