Rev. Lawrence V. Broughal CSC, 80, a priest of the Congregation of Holy Cross for more than 51 years, died Saturday at the University of Notre Dame. He taught English and philosophy at Notre Dame from 1920 to 1951 and then served as chaplain at Our Lady of Princeton Novitiate in Princeton, NJ, and an institution of the Medical Mission Sisters In Mountain View, Calif., before returning to Notre Dame in 1954. Born June 11, 1876 in County Kildare, Ireland, he entered the Canadian province of the Congregation of Holy Cross in 1902 and was ordained two years later in Catham, New Brunswick, Canada. In the early years he was a faculty member of St. Joseph University College in New Brunswick and St. Laurent College in Montreal. He received his masters degree at Quebec Naval University in 1920 and joined the Notre Dame faculty soon afterward. A former moderator of the Scholastic at Notre Dame, he supervised the redecoration of Sacred Heart Church on the campus in 1931.

Friends may call after 7 p.m. Sunday at Corby Hall on the campus. The Office of the Dead will be recited at 5 p.m. Monday in Sacred Heart Church. Funeral services will be held at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday in the church.
