R. S. BAUER . F. IIURLEY 26 WILLIAM F. CLARYE PH.B., J.D., D.C.L. Dean of the Colltgt of Law The records of the years that have passed since Dr. William F. Clarke first became associated with De Paul University are filled with the glowing accounts of his achieve- ments in more than one department of the University. De Paul first became acquainted with Dr. Clarke, when, in 1915, he assumed control of the Commer- cial High School Department. His splendid work for De Paul dates from that time. A position of double importance claimed his attention in 1918, when he was promoted to the position of Secretary of the Law School and Dean of the College of Commerce. In this way he became intimately associated with the College of Law and the College of Commerce. His field at this time included the major- ity of the classes in the Loop Build- ing. In 1025, Dr. Clarke was made Dean of the College of Law. The present status of this department of the University bespeaks his active interest in its every movement. J. GUTNECHT H. B. EVANS
