Clarence C. Walton
Appearance
Clarence Cyril Walton (June 22, 1915 – April 13, 2004) was the 10th president of
The Catholic University of America
and the first layman to hold the position. He was also the first to hold the title 'president' and not 'rector.'
Early life
Clarence Walton was born in
Irish American origin. In World War II he served in the United States Navy. He married Betty Kennedy in 1943 and with her had two children. His wife had also served during the war with WAVES.[1]
Education and career
He earned his bachelor's degree from the
Blessed Virgin Mary. However this ban was overturned in court and he attended or observed the event. Due to this Patricia Buckley Bozell, who while listening to Atkinson ran to the podium to slap her for ridiculing the Virgin Birth then left, felt Walton to ultimately be weak and "sniveling" for following the court order and knowingly attending.[3]
