 SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) - John Jenkins had two questions on his mind when he received his philosophy degree from the University of Notre Dame in 1976: "What kind of life would be deeply meaningful? What kind of life would be so important to me that I'd be willing to give my life for it?"
The answer dawned as he pursued a master's degree at Notre Dame: a life in the priesthood. A life dedicated to teaching young people — a life at Notre Dame.
He became the school's 17th president Friday — just the third man since 1952 to lead perhaps the nation's best-known Roman Catholic university.
