Fuller

Two years ago last autumn, De Paul University (Roman Catholic) in Chicago promised a job, at $2,000 for a school year, to Dr. John B. Fuller, Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, for eight years a German teacher with a good record at Amherst College. De Paul shortly changed its mind, told Dr. Fuller that he "would not fit into the picture." Dr. Fuller brought suit for $2,000. Though the jury's verdict was in his favor, the trial judge set it aside. Last week the Appellate Court upheld the trial judge. Reason: According to De Paul, ten years ago John B. Fuller was Rev. Bernard J. Fuhler, Austrian-born priest of the Society of the Divine Word, who taught at St. Mary's College (Techny, Ill.), was sent to the University of Chicago for his Ph.D., then departed for Europe on leave of absence after quietly marrying one Arline Kuber in Buffalo. All 'that St. Mary's heard after that was that Father Fuhler was dead. Tipped off about Dr. Fuller, De Paul concluded it would be "disastrous" to give a job to one who had flouted his priestly vows.
