he ffcsidvnf' 60 neil A Catholic institution, necessarily operated by men trained and fitted primarily for educational and religious instruction, can very easily encounter serious financial or legal problems. This is due, largely, to the wide difference between the cultural training of the religious and the mundane operations of the financial world, lt is imperative, there- fore, that laymen should be found who are capable of performing these duties with the ability so much needed for the successful operation of a large institution like Loyola University. A Thus, civic leaders in legal, industrial, and financial. circles were sought out and made members of the Presidents Council of the University.

he Zfrc idcuf Reverend james T. Hussey, SJ., became president of Loyola University on the thirteenth of September, 1945. The appointment came almost simultaneously with the end of the war, and so the new head was immediately faced with the problems of increased enrollment of men returning from the armed services. Father Hussey and his staff formulated the policy for expansion of classroom facilities and increased faculty appointments. In his drive for a greater Loyola Father Hussey has given much time and attention to the Loyola Foundation and the new endowment drive to obtain a twenty-four million lollar endowment by the time of the University's centenary celebration. During Father Hussey's short tenure of office University enrollment has swelled to an all-time high. Because of the generosity of Frank J. Lewis, the president was able to set up a new downtown campus and centralize University administrative work at Lewis Towers.
