Within its environs, through the years, was assembled the central group of buildings now fronting Milwaukee's main street.West Wisconsin Ave.

term in 1923, Mrs. Margaret Harrington has continued her duties in the coed quarters in Drcxel Lodge. She is in general charge of all coed out-of-class activities. The sincere and active interest Mrs. Harrington has in the welfare of Marquette women is evidenced by the pleasure she takes in the company of coeds and in the guidance and aid she gives them. In 1931 at the seventeenth annual conference of Women Deans in Wisconsin Colleges, Mrs. Harrington was chosen vice president of the Wisconsin Association of Deans of Women. Mrs. Harrington was graduated from the University of Wisconsin. ■ George R. Griffin, an alumnus of Marquette and a member of the faculty, was appointed assistant dean of men to aid the Rev. John A. Bcrcns, S.J., at the beginning of the second semester of the 1930-31 academic year. The growing number of out-of-town students at the University during the past few years has increased the importance of supervision over living quarters and it is the duty of Mr. Griffin to inspect and sanction the rooming houses in which the students intend to live. Besides serving in this capacity, Mr. Griffin is an instructor in Latin and in classic translations and he is a member of the Committee on Student Activities and Welfare. The Rev. John A. Berens, S.J., dean of men, was appointed to office in the fall of 1928.

instructors hapter Two Faculty and ■ Marquette University is rightly proud of the 344 professors and instructors who compose its faculty. The typical Marquette instructor is scholarly, a master in his own line, and trained and experienced in several institutions; of equal importance, he is forward-looking, broad-minded, and above all a real teacher and leader. Through his own enthusiasm he is able to instill an interest and a quest for knowledge in the young men and women who look to him for guidance, and to inspire in them high ideals and noble purposes. Marquette is large enough to maintain an adequate and well-qualified faculty, yet small enough to permit close contact between the individual instructor and his students. The hidden abilities and best qualities of many a Marquette student, past and present, have been uncovered and developed by his contact with some member of the faculty. To compose the faculties of its various schools and colleges, Marquette has drawn men and women trained and experienced in the fields of medicine, law, engineering, business, dentistry, journalism, public speaking, physical education and the liberal arts. Many of them are members of professional and honorary societies, both national and international. The latest edition of Who's Who in America lists nineteen members of Marquette's faculty. The Jesuit members of the faculty give their time, training and teaching ability without salary or other recompense beyond personal support. For more than fifty years they have been devoting themselves to education at Marquette in this manner. Several changes were made in the faculty at the start of the present school year. Six members of the St. Louis province of the Jesuit order were appointed to the Marquette faculty while four members of last year's faculty were transferred to other schools of the Middle West. Those transferred were: the Rev. John P. Markoe, S.J., to University High school, St. Louis; the Rev. Joseph A. McLaughlin, S.J., to Loyola University. Giicago; the Rev. Charles K. Hayden, S.J., to St. Louis University; and the Rev. John F. McCormick, S.J., to Loyola University. Father McCormick and Father McLaughlin had been at Marquette for nine years. In addition to these transfers, the position of treasurer of Marquette University was vacated when the Rev. Frederick A. Gosiger, S.J., returned to Xavier University, Cincinnati, Ohio, his alma mater. To fill the vacancy, the Rev. Augustine W. Walters, S.J., was transferred to Marquette from St. John's College. Toledo, Ohio. ■ The new head of the department of philosophy is the Rev. George H Mahowald. S.J., who held a similar position at Loyola University. The Rev. Joseph A. Ormsby, S.J., came from St. Stanislaus Seminary in Cleveland to become an assistant professor of philosophy. The Rev. Paul L. Carroll, S.J., of St. Louis University, became a professor of zoology. A new position was created at Marquette in the appointment of the Rev. Donald J. Keegan, S.J., of Creighton University, as assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts. The Rev. Joseph F. Carroll, S.J., returned from nine years of study in Europe to become a professor of physics at Marquette and was in charge of the University's seisomograph. Since instruction at Marquette is founded upon Jesuit principles, there is closer relation between instuctors and the students at the University than in most collegiate institutions. Each teacher is genuinely interested in the broad field of education and in the educational welfare of the members of his classes regarding his own special subject. The undergraduates quickly recognize the friendly spirit of their instructors. Paci 7
