• Progress into the second half of a century of educational advancement marks the 1934 closing of Marquette University, a school outstanding among American institutions of learning. Over two hundred and sixty years after Jacques Marquette, Jesuit missionary, sailed from the Straits of Mackinac on the voyage that was to open central Wisconsin and the upper Mississippi river to the white man, this great educational institution, conducted by the same religious order that sent Father Marquette on his famous expedition, stands as a living monument to his work. The American Association of Universities lists Marquette as one of the three Catholic schools in the United States that are institutions of complex organization—a rating that carries international recognition of her degrees. The Rev. William M. Magee, S.J., president of the University for the last six years and former dean of the College of Liberal Arts, is administrative director of Marquette. Despite national economic breakdown and many financial difficulties which have beset institutions in Marquette’s position. Father Magee's administration has been marked by the distinct progress and sound building characteristic of Marquette’s fifty years of service. Father Magee is assisted in his duties of supervising the University by the secretary and treasurer who, together with the president, constitute the Board of Trustees. Governing authority for the entire institution is intrusted to this group of men who must assume responsibility for the activities of every department of the school. • Business management of the University is controlled by the Board of Governors, a group of men selected from among the commercial and financial leaders of Milwaukee and the state of Wisconsin who, in collaboration with the Trustees and the Board of Advisers, prepare and approve the annual budget and supervise the assumption of all financial obligations by the University. The Rev. William M. Magee, S.J., who completed the regular six-year term of office early in 193 1, has been directed by the officials of the Missouri province of the Society of Jesus to con- tinue at his post indefinitely, thereby making his tenure of office the longest of any of Marquette's presidents. This signal recognition of Father Magee s service to the University was made by the Rev. Samuel H. Horine, S.J., provincial of the Missouri province, who in an official statement disclosed that officials of the society had not even discussed how much longer Father Magee would continue as president. He also stated that there was no foundation to the reports of a probable change, even though the president's term usually expires at the end of six years. In his annual convocation address. Father Magee told the students that it was their privilege and responsibility either to prepare themselves for intelligent leadership or, if their capabilities are of a different nature, to learn to assume the equally necessary obligation of dis-cnminately selecting worthy leaders. • During his years at Marquette. Father Magee has maintained his implicit confidence and trust in the University and in its students, constantly urging them to take advantage of the opportunity offered for the development of their faculties and warning them against the acquisition of a false conception of liberty which leads many men and women to live entirely for selfish motives. In his capacity as the chief representative of that group of men preeminent as educators, the Jesuits. Father Magee has endeavored to achieve the ideals of morality and self-mastery for which they have always stood. This year marks the four hundredth anniversary of the foundation of their order. Always personally interested in the individual student as well as in the University as a whole, he keeps in close touch with athletics and other extra-curricular activities. Through the efforts of the president, needy students of the University participated in an appropriation of $170,000 from the state treasury to the Industrial Commission of Wisconsin for loans to help defray their tution, fees and maintenance. This assistance was supplemented during the second semester by an allotment of $3,130 a month for the Federal Emergency Relief Administration student employment project. r R ATIO N E T E E N THIRTY FOUR
