REV. DENNIS A. DUGGAN C.M., A.RI. Dean 0f the College of Liberal rim Almost synonymous with the name of the College of Liberal Arts is that of Rev. Dennis A. Duggan. He is perhaps the most outstanding figure in the rapid growth and de- velopment of this department. The oHice of Dean of the College of Liberal Arts has been filled by Father Duggan for many years. and in that time all the troubles and tribulations of the student body have been laid before him. liver he has dealt wisely with these diffi- culties. Father Duggan is keenly in- terested in the welfare of each and every student; it is probably this fact which has formed a bond of understanding between the Dean and the student body. That same watchful protection which he ex- tends in time of trouble, he carries over into the less serious side of student life. Any social affair spon- sored by the Liberal Arts College has always been honored by the presence of the Dean; any game of sports finds him an interested on- looker. It is this sympathetic feel- ing of interest which has won for him the aHection and respect of every student of the College of Liberal Arts. i r g. i; 54 REV. T. C. POWERS REV. J. J. MURRAY REV. J.

JOHN C. MCHUGH Registrar Just as life is more important than a livelihood, those subjects of a college curriculum Which enable us to enjoy the fullness of life are of much more importance to us than those Which merely fit us for a living. Our forefathers for centuries knew this fact. In building a center of learning, they gave first place to the College of Liberal Arts, and around it they grouped those de- voted to professional studies. Our topsy-turvy age has seen ht to re- verse this order ordained by logic and common sense. A Liberal Arts training in some quarters no longer means a familiarity With the class- ical languages, or a comprehensive grasp of the Queen of Sciences, Philosophy. Yet could any age less afford to reject the admirable synthesis of living Which centuries of hard thought have evolved for us, and Which are ours almost for the asking? De Paul University is among the comparatively few schools Which have yet to be per- suaded that a communion With the roots of our civilization through the media of literature and philo- sophy, is no longer desirable.
