Preferred Citation [Identification of item], Series number, Box and Folder number, John A. Ryan collection, 087, Department of Archives and Special Collections, William H. Hannon Library, Loyola Marymount University. Acquisition Information Per the MARC record, the items previously belonged to the pamphlet file at Loyola Marymount University. They were later de-accessioned and claimed by Anthony Amodeo, a reference librarian, who donated them to the university's Archives and Special Collections in 2009. The presence in this collection of correspondence of Arthur D. Spearman, S.J., relating to his publication of a biographical article on John A. Ryan suggests that these materials were originally Spearman's. Spearman was the former librarian of Loyola University, Los Angeles. Biography John A. Ryan (1869-1945) was the foremost social justice advocate and theoretician in the Catholic Church during the first half in the 20th century. He entered St. Paul Seminary in 1892, graduated in 1898, and received his holy orders the same year. Throughout his life, Ryan focused most of his intellectual attention on economic and political issues. His Ph.D. dissertation was an influential early economic and moral argument for minimum wage legislation. It was published as "A Living Wage" in 1906. His published material sometimes included social issues, such as sterilization and birth control, that were important to the teachings of the Catholic Church. Ryan's economic thought led to his alliance with the New Deal and its creator, Franklin D. Roosevelt, who agreed with his economic positions. In 1920, Ryan became the first Director of the National Catholic Welfare Council's Social Action Department, a position which he held for 25 years until his death in 1945. Scope and Content of Collection An assortment of materials relating to John A. Ryan. Collection consists of a newspaper clipping giving the history of two traditional Lenten hymns, two typed letters to Rev. A.D. Spearman, S.J., regarding the publication of a biographical article on Ryan, a commemorative program from a "Testimonial Dinner to Right Reverend John A. Ryan, D.D., on the occasion of His Seventieth Birthday Anniversary," two issues of the Catholic University Bulletin containing articles on Ryan, three issues of the Annals of St. Joseph containing the memoirs of John A.
