Dr. Floyd E. Walsh Dean ■ v I £ Commerce Front College of Commerce V reighton ' s college of commerce comes of age this year with the completion of twenty-one years of service as the business training unit of the university. Under the direction of Dr. Floyd E. Walsh, dean, the col- lege successfully carries through its program of providing the business student with a broad cultural and technical back- ground for entrance into the commercial field. The commerce faculty is composed of men especially trained in the profession of teaching business administration; a faculty which includes seven men holding Doctor of Philosophy degrees in their par- ticular fields. Dr. Norbert G. Bausch, instructor in accounting, received this degree in February. The school year saw two changes in the faculty. Mr. A. H. Goeser, a former teacher in the college, returned to take the position of instructor in English. Miss Mary Ellen Murphy entered commerce as instructor in shorthand and typewriting and as commerce secretary. Mr. Goeser suc- ceeds W. W. Keenan, and Miss Murphy replaces Miss Lucille Kendall, now employed by the University of Washington. Under the direction of Mr. Goeser, student interest turned again to the Beaux Arts club. Reorganized this year, the club provides members with a library of nine hundred books. Courses in the Economics of War and Economic Geography were added to the commerce program during the year. Changes in the physical plant included the establishment of indirect lighting fixtures in several rooms and of a bell system in the Annex building. The new bell system works in unison with the bells located in the main building. The combination commerce-law course is the selection of many students who enroll in the college of commerce. ■ ■ i ■ rYlfi Cx . m i i r ! College of Commerce Faculty 18

School of Law V vontributing to the maintenance of the high standards in the legal profession by requiring strict compliance with entrance requirements, the school of law con- tinued without changes in faculty or curriculum this year. The school ' s scholastic standards presuppose an above the average record for pre-legal courses and maintenance of high averages in the studies pursued by the students while in the Law school. In the Law school library, housed in the Law building, the students may obtain the legal information supplementary to that gained in their regular te xtbook reading. The library con- tains 45,000 volumes with a practically complete collection of American, Canadian, and English law. This includes statutes, reports, and legal periodicals. To acquaint students with legal libraries, the school lists Legal Bibliography as a required course. Adding practical experience to their theoretical knowledge, the student barristers practice their courtroom technique in sessions of the Moot Court. With faculty members acting as judges the students serve as attorneys, witnesses, and jurors at the moot trials treating cases of varying legal na- ture. These offer the student an opportunity to gain an actual perspective on the organization, management, and conduct of a trial. Membership in the Association of American Law Schools has been accorded the school since 1907. It is also on the approved list of the Amer- ican Bar Association. Close relationship between faculty and students is an objective of the school ' s teaching policy. This is accomplished by preventing unwieldiness in the size of classes. However, the enrollment in the school is not limited to a certain specific number. Louis J . TePoel Dean Law Entrance School of Law Faculty 17

College of Pharmacy 17 laced on an equal with the few outstand- ing institutions of its kind in the country, the college of pharmacy continued this year to maintain the standards of the American Council of Pharmaceutical Education. This organi- zation is the highest accrediting agency in pharmaceutical education. The first two years of the four-year course are devoted to basic studies. In the final two years the pharmacy student is given the opportunity to specialize in whatever field his interest and aptitude are the greatest. With the faculty presenting personalized teaching and in- dividual attention, students are given a wide knowledge of their field as well as a chance to concentrate in a chosen branch of pharmacy. Prescriptions written for patients of the Medical clinic are compounded in a special prescription room by students under the direction of a faculty member who is a registered pharmacist. Most of the prescriptions are filled free of charge, although a small fee is asked of those financially able to pay. New faculty members this year included: the Rev. A. T. Motherway, S.J., instructor in English; Frank Potrepka, instructor in pharmacy and chemistry, and Rudy Soukup, instructor in show card writing and window display. Graduates of the college are admitted to the registered pharmacist board examinations of every state in the Union. The curriculum of the college of pharmacy is prepared in such a way as to enable men and women students of the college to meet the present and future demands of their profession in an able and intelligent manner. It furnishes both breadth of education and professional specialization. ■BV J William A. Jarrett Dean Pharmacy Portal College of Pharmacy Faculty 19
