Excerpt from "San Jose Mercury News," San Jose, CA, Wednesday, May 9, 2007:
"He was a Jesuit for 70 years. Born on Armistice Day of the Great War, November 11, 1918, in Los Angeles, Clint grew up in Montrose and Glendale and attended Loyola High School. He entered the Jesuit Novitiate at Los Gatos in July of 1936. During his course of studies for the priesthood Clint taught philosophy and English literature at Loyola University in Los Angeles. He also pursued graduate studies in English literature at UCLA. He was ordained a priest in San Francisco in June of 1949 after completing theology studies at Alma College in Los Gatos. He professed final vows as a Jesuit in 1953 in Innsbruck, Austria. In 1951 Clint began graduate studies at Oxford University in the Honors Course in English Literature. He described his time at Oxford as "three years of what they call 'intensive reading'" (a typical British understatement!) in everything from Beowulf to Byron under the guidance of two private tutors." He focused on Anglo Saxon and early English literature and their Continental influences. This required research in various universities, archives and museums in Germany, France and Italy. He was able to take advantage of tutorials and lectures by the leading academicians in the field. C.S. Lewis was one of the panel members for his oral examination. He was awarded the M.A. (Oxon) with honors in 1954.
Clint then took up a teaching position at Loyola Marymount University, where he spent his entire academic career, a period of fifty years. He was a member of the English Department, 1954-88, where he became a key faculty member in the honors and graduate programs. His major work, Anglo-Saxon Saints and Heroes, a translation of seventh and eighth century hagiographies, appeared in 1967. Retiring emeritus from the English Department in 1988, Clint taught medieval art in the Art Department at LMU, 1988-91, drawing from his vast collection of some 20,000 slides collected over a forty-year period during which he traveled extensively in the British Isles, Europe, and the Middle East. From 1991 to 2003 he presented three public slide lectures a semester under the auspices of LMU's Continuing Education Department.
Clint was one of those rare individuals who was deeply blessed by both nature and grace. This, combined with his wisdom and gentle nature, made him a remarkable Jesuit priest. His intellectual refinement did not separate him from regular folks. In fact, he had a keen sensitivity and compassion for all whom he met. He remembered the names of janitors and kitchen workers and knew about their families. He was very interested in issues of social justice. A Jesuit contemporary remarked that Clint was particularly well loved by his Jesuit brothers and the response was made that the feeling was mutual. Clint had a great love for the Society of Jesus, its members and its works.
Declining health brought Clint to Sacred Heart Jesuit Center, Los Gatos, in 2003 where he kept busy with his slide lectures and serving as the community correspondent for the California Jesuit news publication, Vineyard. He will be greatly missed by his family, his Jesuit brothers, former students and faculty members."
