SINGAPORE – An idealistic arts educator, Brother Joseph McNally, born in Ireland in 1923, dedicated 37 years of his life to teaching in Singapore and Malaysia, and would buy books for students out of his own pocket.
After purchasing these for the Lasalle College of the Arts library, he would then ask his more wealthy friends for donations and financial support. This was a call they invariably answered.
