That vocation drove him to build a great Catholic university, it gave his work in his public life its moral focus, it shaped his generosity in all of his personal interactions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hesburgh served as president of the university for 35 years until he stepped down in 1987. He chaired the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights from 1969 to 1972 and held 16 presidential appointments. He was the recipient of the Congressional Gold Medal in 2000 from President Bill Clinton and received the Medal of Freedom\u2014the nation\u2019s highest civilian honor\u2014in 1964 from President Lyndon Johnson.<\/p>\n<p>Under Hesburgh\u2019s leadership, Notre Dame saw substantial expansion as it turned into one of the premier Catholic research universities in the country. Women were first admitted in 1972. Also during Hesburgh\u2019s presidency the student body doubled to 9,600 and faculty nearly tripled to 950, and the university\u2019s annual operating budget increased from $9.7 million to $176.6 million. During the same period, the university endowment increased from $9 million to $350 million.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11334\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11334\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/03\/IMG_3311.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11334\" src=\"http:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/03\/IMG_3311-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Crowds gather in front of television sets on Notre Dame's campus to view  live stream of Fr.
