REVEREND FRANCIS J. HART, S.J. Student Counsellor; Professor of Latin ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF OF THE COLLEGE In Fenwick Hall there are a group of earnest and industrious men. Most of us are not so acquainted with them as we are our teachers and corridor pre- fects. A plethora of paper work and a hundred ad- ministrative decisions are their daily responsibility. The Deans undertake to mould the characters of the students to habits of patient industry, of mental and moral temperance and intellectual in- terests. They are the men that aim to mature our faculties and mould our habits on a firm and sub- stantial foundation which will support the super- structure of our particular callings. As in any system, discipline is essential, with the primary aim here being formation of character. This is one of the themes of our education. The Student Counsellor fulfills the position as special friend and advisor to the student body in matters spiritual and material, in their studies and their social activities. REVEREND MICHAEL G. PIERCE, S.J. Executive Assistant to the President RAYMOND D. KENNEDY, A.B. Registrar 23

The theology of sanctification and salvation is intrinsic to the Jesuit Code, for it takes into con- sideration not only man ' s complete growth and the totality of his relations, but also, and essen- tially, his elevation to a supernatural destiny. In reaching the goal of whole men the cornerstone must be an accurate knowledge of Christian moral- ity. This will be a basis for the conduct of our en- tire life. It will always be maintained that religion is the proper and supreme integrating principle of knowledge. It is the highest concern of man, the strongest defense of a nation. These men are all long trained in the world ' s best wisdom. They are unexcelled teachers in the eternal truth, the law of God. Studying under them we can not but enjoy the fruits of their knowledge. If we be men, this is the system which made us! Rev. Leo A. O ' Connor, S.J. Professor of Religion Rev. Joseph J. Shea, S.J. Associate Professor of Philosophy Rev. Clarence E. Sloane, S.J.
