MISS MARGARET A. RING, A.M. Dean of Women Since her coming to De Paul in the fall of 1926 Miss Ring has en- tered enthusiastically into the scholastic and social life of the college. As Dean of Women she comes into close contact with the coeds of the Arts Department whd have learned to rely on her kind and efficient judgment. he is not teaching, spends much of his time in research work. Father Ordonez is a professor of biology and is an authority on many phases of that science. He is credited with being one of the first to employ the moving picture to illustrate his lectures. Father Moore is professor of mathematics. He shows the same calm, yet unmistakable, in- terest in all his classes which range from fresh- man algebra to calculus. In the foreign language department Mr. Preveden, a master of many languages, teaches Greek and advanced French. Mr. Audet, a new- comer at De Paul, has charge of all the other French classes. Miss Ring, dean of women, teaches the lan- guage of Cicero and Horace with an enthusiasm which is infectious. If anyone ever made the study of Latin poetry delightful, she has done it in her Horace class. The department of history and social science is well provided for by Father Gaffney, our effi- cient and kindly dean. Father Schorsch, Mr. O ' Donnell, and Mr. Mourant. There are other professors and instructors, priests and laymen, all worthy of comment, and only lack of space keeps their names from ap- pearing here. E. Audet Rev. W. T. Case CM. Kkv. T. Talbot CM.

most interesting persons of De Paul. He is a man of genius who can bring the great prob- lems of metaphysics down to the students ' powers of understanding. Nor does he hesitate to enliven his lectures with a touch of inimitable humor. The English department is made up of a number of men, all of whom are worthy of note. Father Powers, the vice president of the university, can never be forgotten when Shakes- peare is mentioned, nor is there any doubt that his classes are popular, for Father Powers de- serves popularity. Father Case came to De Paul in 1927 and since then has become known for his interesting classes in later English lit- erature. Father Ward has taught English com- position at De Paul for the last six years — and taught it well. He believes in making his stu- dents learn to vsrite by writing but no one can say that he is anything but kind. Mr. J. Leo Sullivan is another member of the English department. He has classes in composition and early English literature and has displayed con- siderable interest in the literary activities of the college. In the department of science Fathers Le Sage and Ordonez share honors. Father Le Sage ' s interest is in astronomy and physics, and when MR. JOHN C. McHUGH Registrar To. Mr. McHugh has been given the responsible position of guid- ing the students in registering for the various classes and of keeping the complex system of many de- partments running in perfect or- der. To his clear vision and un- ceasing effort is due the remark- able harmony which has insured the progress of the Arts College. Rev. J. Ward Dyer O ' DONNELL Hadd Page 25

( ollege of J( w rHE history of the College of Law during its thirty-two years of existence, incor- porated independently under the name of Illinois College of Law for fifteen years, and later affiliated with De Paul University as the Law Department of that great institution, has been a glorious record of achievement. One of the oldest of the law schools of Chicago, De Paul University College of Law, has won recog- nition throughout the country as a foremost center of forensic learning. And this enviable reputation has been the result of years of patient labor on the part of the faculty and university officials. In 1924 the college was given a first group rating by the American Bar Association and placed upon its approved list. When classes were resumed at the beginning of this scholastic year, the Law Department moved to its more spacious quarters in the new seventeen-story De Paul University Building at 66 East Lake Street. Here, high above the mad- dening annoyance and disturbance always found in the heart of a great city, the school enjoys a quiet and peacefulness conducive to academic pursuits. The new three million dollar building ven- ture reflects in large measure the foresight of a faculty ever alert to meet the needs of its insti- tution as promptly as they are countenanced. A great measure of credit is due to Dean Emeritus Francis X. Busch for his tireless efforts in laboring to make the Downtown Law Sky- scraper a reality. Though civic duties have re- FRANCIS X. BUSCH Dean Emeritus College of Law Though civic duties have pressed upon his time devoted to pedagog- ical pursuits, yet they have never succeeded in lessening Dr. Busch ' s kindly interest in the steady prog- ress of the university. Dean Busch has served Chicago in the capacity of Corporation Counsel. His zeatl- ous co-operation with faculty and university officials in erecting and financing the new De Paul Uni- versity Building is but another in- dication of his tremendous energy.
