COLLEGE OF LAW The success of the College of Law has been little short of phenomenal. Its growth and development during the past decade are responsible for its high standing with the legal profes- sion. General recognition as a law center has been the reward of the school for the tireless endeavors of its faculty and the university. Recogni- tion has not been confined to this city or section. In 1924 the college was given a first group rating by the highest scholastic board in the country. A great measure of credit for the strides that the law college has made is due to Dean Emeritus Francis X. Busch. Dr. Busch is a man to whom success is a habit. He has been Corporation Counsel for the City of Chicago. It was this honor which ultimately redounded to our dis- advantage, for his work in such oHice demanded all of his time and he was forced to ,retire from the deanship in 1925. At present he is one of the best known and highly respected attorneys in Chicago. Dean William F. Clarke was ap- pointed to fill the place of Dr. Busch. The clean has been connected with various departments of the university since 1915. In 1918 he was made dean of the College of Commerce. His excellent work in that school ultimately led to his selection as dean of the law college. This further honor came in 1925. He has maintained the high standards set by his predecessor J. J. CHERRY C. M. DOTY FRANCIS X. BUSCH, LL.D. DEAN EMERITUS COLLEGE OF LAW Dean Bmch ha: Iuccenfully carried hi5 ability as a Jtudent 0f the law into the moyt practical held of civic life.

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.

He has a remarkable memory for names and faces. This faculty aids him greatly in making friends of his students. Dean Taft has held a professorship in the law college since 1914. He is concerned with property law chiefly and wades re- lentlessly through large case books in his courses. The esteem in which all the students hold him is the highest. He is greatly interested in all activities and a close follower of varsity sports. Professor James J. Cherry has the most pronounced personality of the. faculty. His lectures are never dull for he has a genius of correlating his subjects in a most logical fashion and a sense of humor that is very keen. He is ever in demand as a speaker at class affairs, fraternity dinners and the like. Professor Cherry has .a niche all his own in the hearts of all of his students. The case books and law review articles of Professor R. S. Bauer are known throughout the country. Dr. Bauer is an indefatigable student of the law. His time, other than when he is conducting class, is spent in research work. He came to De Paul from the faculty of the University of Illinois. He is a much quoted authority in the field of damages. .l. CJUTKNl-ZCHT PUi-zN'nc
