Father Edward T. Dunn was born in Orange,
New Jersey, in 1925, where he attended parochial grammar and high
schools before entering the Society of Jesus in 1943. After
college at Woodstock, Maryland, he taught Latin and English at
Regis High School in New York City from 1950 to 1953, returning
to Woodstock to study theology.
Ordained in 1956, he came to Canisius College two years later and taught religion, moderated the Little Theatre, and earned a master's degree in history in 1964. There followed graduate study in history at the University of Rochester from which he received a doctorate in 1969.
Back at Canisius, he has taught courses in colonial America, the American Revolution, the early national period, Jacksonian America, America between the wars (Civil and World War I), and American railroads.
His writings include a History of the Park Club, Canisius College 1870-1907, a three-volume critical collection of the writings of Henry Flynt, and articles for American National Biography and the Encyclopedia of New York State.
Fr. Dunn declines to fly and takes a train on those occasions when he needs to travel. A former golfer, he still rides a bicycle for exercise and is a committed if oft frustrated fan of the Buffalo Bills. On alternate Sundays he says Mass and preaches at a suburban parish, where he has served for over twenty years.
