Thomas Dillon, president of Thomas Aquinas College in Santa Paula, died in a car accident in Ireland yesterday. Thomas Aquinas is a long-time National Review advertiser and a well-respected school which doesn’t have an identity crisis. Dillon was president there for 18 years. Throughout the night, graduates of the school have been e-mailing me expressing their love and admiration for Dillon. His sounds like a life well-lived, but cut short. Our condolences to his family and the community of Thomas Aquinas College.
