Since his old Studebaker days, Cavanaugh had risen steadily-from philosophy teacher to vice president and finally to president. But next June, he will have served as president six years, and in accordance with canon law, he will have to leave his post for good. "It's been marvelous," he says, "but I've run out the string...
