A nO Chicago Tribune, Monday, November 11, 1996 Section 2 5 Rev. John Cortelyou of DePaul Cathleen Falsani TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER Rev. John R. Cortelyou, 82, president of DePaul University from 1964 to 1981, shepherded the institution through the tumult of the 1960s and 1970s, and helped it or grow in size and reputation. A native of Chicago and member of the Congregation of the Mission, Father Cortelyou, who had been a Vincentian priest for than 50 years, died Saturday in St.

Joseph Hospital after a long illness. Father Cortelyou was responsiable for many innovations in the academic life of the university. "Revisions in undergraduate curriculum such as the expansion of the liberal arts and the inclusion of non-Catholic works in theology "courses, and the addition of the school's first doctoral programs, part of his handiwork. In 1972, under Father Cortedirection, the university fopened the School for New Learnwing, a non-traditional educational program for adults over 24. And with his help, DePaul acquired the Goodman School of Drama from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1978.

Father Cortelyou guided the university through expansion projects, among them the purchase of eight McCormick Theological Seminary buildings, creating much of the east side of DePaul's Lincoln Park campus. Under his leadership, the university also expanded its Loop campus. "He was very attuned to what was going on around him and was interested in all of that, particularly in the welfare of the students at the university, whom he had devoted his whole life to," said Rev. Ralph Pansza, Father Cortelyou's religious superior at the DePaul Community House for Vincentian fathers and brothers. Father Cortelyou began his own academic career at DePaul Academy, where he graduated in 1932.

He received his collegiate and theological training for the priesthood at St. Mary's Seminary in Perryville, and was ordained a priest in 1940. He then returned to his hometown, where he taught at the DeP. aul Academy from 1940 to 1943, until he joined the faculty of DePaul University. Father Cortelyou earned a doctorate in biology from Northwestern University in 1949, and began a career as a comparative endocrinologist.

He was named chairman of DePaul's department of biological sciences in 1952, where he remained until assuming the presidency in 1964. After his retirement as president in 1981, Father Cortelyou served as chancellor and then chancellor emeritus of the university until July. "He always wanted to be involved in whatever was going on to end up his days with his boots on," Pansza said. Survivors include a stepbrother, Charles Burgess. Visitation will be from 4 p.m.
