Leo Francis Stock

Leo Francis Stock (1878-1954)[i] taught history courses since 1919, since 1922 as Associate Professor while working as a research fellow at Carnegie Institution in Washington, D.C until 1943.[ii] Among other projects, he explored the complex history of the diplomatic relations between the United States and the Papal States. He offered Hist 106 (U. S. Survey), 201, 202 (Development of the American Nation since 1763) throughout the period. Dr Stock did not have M. A. thesis students during this time.

Edward Paul Lilly

In 1940/41, Dr. Edward Paul Lilly (1910-94) joined the history department faculty. He had received his M. A. at CUA in 1933 (Thesis “The Colonial Agents of New York”) and earned his PhD in 1936.[1] He first taught at Loyola in Chicago (1936-39), then did research on a post-doctoral fellowship from Yale, and from CUA (Penfield Fellowship) in Britain. Because of the war, he had to return to Yale, and, in 1940, to CUA as Assistant Professor. Lilly was the Director of the Army Specialized Training Program on campus, and in 1944, began to work at the Office of War Information (OWT) as historian of the new agency. Based on this work, he also taught Psychological Warfare at Georgetown and at the Navla Intelligence School, and at NATO Headquarters in Norfolk, Va. In 1952 he left CUA and became planning officer at the National Security Council.

Dr. Lilly taught, among other courses, Hist 315, 316 “Social and Industrial History of the U. S”, 421, 422 (“Political and Constitutional Progress with some stress on foreign relations”).

Dr. Lilly supervised a number of M. A. theses between 1941 and 1949 (see List 3: M. A. thesis applications, 1941-49).
