Although the Jesuits, all men, teach thousands of women, no woman had ever before been named to such a high administrative post in a Jesuit college. But to Fordham's president, the Rev. Robert I. Gannon, Miss King's promotion was "logical," since Fordham has more than 3,000 women students, and in the social service school they outnumber men two to one.
