The post office at St. John's University has a new name. President Barack Obama has signed into law a bill that designates the Collegeville Post Office in Guild Hall as the "Eugene J. McCarthy Post Office".

A bill is heading to Washington D.C. to rename Collegeville's Post Office after former politician and St. John's University alum Eugene McCarthy.

On November 30th, 1967 Eugene McCarthy declared he was running for president; he ran on a platform that consisted of an anti-Vietnam war platform. This was directly opposite current President Lyndon B. Johnson’s platform.
