Rev. Robert J. Henle, SJ, former president of Georgetown University and former academic vice president of Saint Louis University, died Jan. 20 at the Jesuit infirmary residence in St. Louis.

Henle was an eminent U.S. Catholic philosopher for many years, a veteran teacher, a prolific author and an experienced and successful administrator. Born in 1909 in Muscatine, Iowa, he entered the Society of Jesus at Florissant, Mo., in 1927. As a Jesuit seminarian, he taught at St. Louis University High School from 1935 to 1937, during which time he began to write a series of Latin textbooks that are still in print and have sold more than a million copies. He was ordained a Roman Catholic priest in 1940 and received his doctorate from the University of Toronto, where he studied philosophy under such renowned scholars as Jacques Maritain and Etienne Gilson.

Henle taught at Saint Louis University for many years, where he was also at various times superior of the younger Jesuits in studies, dean of the College of Philosophy and Letters, University research administrator, dean of the Graduate School and academic vice president. Between 1969 and 1976, Henle was the president of Georgetown University in Washington. D.C., where he oversaw many of the facets of its growth into an international institution. He then returned to Saint Louis University, where he taught in both the philosophy department and the School of Law. He became the first incumbent chair of "Justice in American Society," established by the McDonnell Foundation. He was honored by the Italian and German governments and by universities both in the United States and abroad. With more than 200 articles and almost a dozen books to his credit, in his late 80s he published a translation of St. Thomas Aquinas's De Veritate, or On Truth, a fitting climax to a life dedicated to the search for and furthering of such truth. A last collection of his essays and papers has been published by Saint Louis University Press under the title of The American Thomistic Revival.

Henle was an alumnus of Saint Louis University, where he earned his licentiate in sacred theology, licentiate in philosophy and bachelor of arts degrees.

Dr. John DiTiberio, chair of the department of counseling and family therapy, died Feb. 3 at his home in Ballwin after a long illness. He was 55. Dr. DiTiberio also served as director of the Family Development Center at Saint Louis University.

Before joining SLU in 1985 as associate director of the Counseling and Consultation Center, he was a staff psychologist at the University of Illinois in Chicago.

Dr. DiTiberio was born in Hendersonville, N.C., and reared in upstate New York. After earning a bachelor's degree, he taught high school in East Lansing, Mich. He later earned a master's degree and a doctorate from Michigan State University.

He was active in the Association for Psychological Type and wrote numerous books and articles on personality and writing styles. He enjoyed various kinds of music, traveling and camping.

A memorial service took place at Parkway United Church of Christ in west St. Louis County.

Among the survivors are his wife, Lisa DiTiberio; two daughters, Cynthia Jean DiTiberio and Anne Carolyn DiTiberio, both of Ballwin; his mother, Carolyn S. Seelhoff of Owosso, Mich; and a sister, Barbara A. Palmer of Lansing, Mich.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Family Development Center in care of St. Louis University, 3740 Lindell Boulevard, St. Louis, Mo. 63108.

Dorothy E. Kling, former head of the circulation department for the Pius XIII Memorial Library, died Feb. 7. She was 89. Ms. Kling worked for the University from December 1965 until June 30, 1992. She also had worked in the old library of DuBourg Hall before rejoining the University in 1965.
