Funeral today for former PC president

The funeral for former Providence College president the Rev. John F. Cunningham is this morning in St. Dominic Chapel on the Catholic college’s campus.

Cunningham was a philosophy professor who spent almost 50 years at the institution and was the college’s 10th president, serving in that capacity from 1985 to 1994. He helped the college emerge from its roots as a commuter college serving Rhode Islanders into the well-regarded regional academic institution it is today.

Cunningham died Monday at Rhode Island Hospital. He was 78.
