REV. DENNIS A. DUGGAN, C.M.A.M. Dean of the College of Liberal Art; iiFather Duggan, Our Deanf, -four little words, not even a sen- tence, and yet how great a mean- ing; how many pictures are con- 1 tained in them. From our flrst timid iiYes, Fatherh7 to his final iiper miserecordiamih our thoughts of De Paul have been closely as- 3: i sociated with those of our Dean. In time of calm and in time of storm we were always sure of his helping hand. We knew that in him we had H a willing listener who made us feel .i that the solutions of our little diHiculties were of the utmost im- portance to him. No matter was too small to receive his attention; none too large to daunt him. And so, when, on account of ill-health, Father found it best to leave De Paul for several months last year he took with him our sincere wishes for a very speedy recovery and the t - deep regret of each and every one . ; wt us. 11 did nnt lake us long to realize just how important a part he had played E i in 11w rccnrd Of our schoul days. And on the day of his return, for once in our lives, xw new model studemsi nowhere could we find words to express our joy on hav- wwmrxa :3; -, .y;x+:.rwr'wqr.m.mv.z-i .ews: 72:21 i .. , .01 mi; nm' Dean again with us. :-rvev.s.u;z:mvcm.am embaaer-qeawsw-m A mwrwqu ewwa. we 1 i RM.

MCHUGH Registrar Not many years ago education w in the liberal arts seemed destined to follow the course of many other valuable institutions which have succumbed to the so-called march of progress. The first step tending toward this result was the elimina- tion by many universities of the classical languages and philosophy as requisites for the degree of bachelor of arts. As no equivalent substitutions of required work were made7 the range of electives was correspondingly broadened; accord- ingly7 to the student was left the choice of the major portion of his course. Less earnest students were thus given an opportunity to base their selection more on the compara- tive difficulty of the subject than on any special benefit, educational or disciplinary, to be derived; the amount of outside preparation re- quired was lessened, leaving more time to the student for social and other activities. In many institutions the situ- ation produced the result that the social phase was paramount and mental dis- cipline an incident. Fortunately, the requirement of a liberal education for en- trance to the professions is overbalancing the unfavorable features which formerly prevailed, and there is in general more of an educational objective and less emphasis on social activities.
