fully describe him. No catchword could do that. It but gives an inkling of the place that this kindly gentleman holds in the hearts of the students. A professor of philosophy and sociol- ogy, he has won the respect and ad- miration of all. No orator has a better supply of descriptive adjectives at his command. The English Composition and Liter- ature classes of Fr. Powers have a reputation for being very interesting. This is as it should be, for Fr. Powers is a very interesting person. He is Vice-presidentf succeeding Fr. Mc- Carthy. He came to De Paul after serving as an executive at Dallas University. As director Of student publications and dramatics he is in touch With the student body. Frs. LeSage and Moore are of the science department. Fr. LeSage,s field is physics, astronomy and cal- culus. He does a great deal of re- search work and can be found in the physics laboratory almost all of the time he is not teaching. A professor of mathematics is Fr. Moore. His classes range from freshman math to calculus. Rev. Castor Ordornez is at the head of the biology department. He is authority on many of the subjects his department includes. One of the first to illustrate his lectures with moving pictures, his method has been followed in other colleges. Personally, he is a small, quiet man with a dark complexion and pleasant black eyes. Dr. Cooper, also of the science depart- ment. is professor of Chemistry. He is short and very energetic. His lectures are nothing if not emphatic. MR.

COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS A N D SCIENCES The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is older than the University itself, for it existed as St. Vincent,s College before the addition of the other departments. It is the backbone of the institution and the center of most of its traditions. we take no measure of glory from the more special schools by such a statement because the liberal arts department is by nature the central college of any university. The liberal arts college has an enviable position as the starting point of a university career. The student who looks to a future in one or other of the professions begins by laying a ground-work of general knowledge. The methods and modes of thought and expression, the historical back- ground of manis rise to his present state are necessarily interesting to a man who wishes to live fully, no matter how he earns a livelihood. The faculty is an interesting group of highly educated persons. The dean of the college, Rev. Dennis A. Duggan, has been an important factor in its development. His infiuence can be identified in every progressive move that has been made during his deanship, and that has been for a long time. Yearbooks in the past have referred to Father Murray as the thrand Old Manb of De Paul. We will not attempt to improve on this because we cannot. Of course that does not REV. .i- J. LESAGE REV. NI.

MARGARET RING, A.M. DEAN 01: WOMEN Under .Mij: Ringk kindly guidance the co-educational feature of De Paul hkzjj7014ri5htd into an integral part of Scholartic and Campus activity. ' Her educational ability i5 matched only by her charming yet effective manner. The genial Fr. Foulkes is professor of Latin. He has been teaching this subject ever since he came to De Paul and seems never to tire of the language of Livy, Tacitus and Horace. An infectuous good nature. plus a kind disposition have made him as many friends as he has had students. Fr. Kearnefs philosophy lectures present an interesting personality and an engrossing subject. He is light complected, not tall, and slightly built. Of the restless type he gives most of his lectures while walking about the room or illustrating by diagram where possible. His genius lies in his ability to illustrate and explain difhcult philosophical prob- lems by apt and striking examples within the studentis ken. The advanced German courses have their professor, Fr. Blechle. Taciturn by nature, he has never been known to lose his professional mien, yet withall he is kindly. The men mentioned have been connected with De Paul in their re- spective capacities for many years. Fr. F. J. XVard, comparatively a newcomer, has been professor of English composition for five years. Fr. Rootes came in 1925 to teach history courses. Other priests and laymen are professors and instructors. AH are known through their courses and personal traits and each would furnish material for a sketch, but, of course, space prohibits. Ricv. W. 'l'. CASE RM: T. I. l m7LKi-;s CM. m1. Pagr 26 Ricv.
