Qjlfilest .1352 REV MICHAEL J. O'CONNELL, C. M., S. T. D. President By Very Reverend Michael J. O'Connell, CM., S.T.D The dedication of the 1938 De Paulian to the Very Rev. Thomas C. Powers CM., on the occasion of his silver jubilee in the priesthood, is a happy thought. Twenty-five years of service deserve signalizing in some special way. Most of those years' have been spent at De Paul. Each generation of students during that time can recall with a wistful smile for the years that are gone, the cheerful, joyous inspiration, unconsciously given by a priest happy in his work, enthusiastic in his spirit of cooperation, prudent and wise in his counsel. If ever there were needed proof of the value of a great teacher in and t . . . , ' ou of the classroom, hundreds would rise up in testimony. H l .Ll 7

Less well known, perhaps, to former generations of students, one other priest at De Paul is celebrating his jubilee-the Rev. Edward I. Neels, CM., who is in charge of the material affairs of the house. His contacts have not been as direct with the students, but are no less important. I feel sure that all students of De Paul, past and present, join with the Administration and the Faculty in congratulating these men on the completion of a long period of service to God and humanity at De Paul -and in Wishing them and the University the good fortune of having them with us for the years to come. In some fashion it is as well a year of jubilee, of rejoicing, for faculty and students of the Departments of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, for this year marks the completion of another unit in the program of expansion of the University. The new I-lall of Science will be ready for occupancy by the time this book comes oh: the press. Great Work has been done heretofore under severe handicaps. NVe hope that the improvement in facilities will see a pro' portionate improvement in the quality of work done and a growth in the number of students interesting themselves and specializing in the various branches of science. How quickly the other needed units are provided will depend on the con- tinued material success of the University. That success is conditioned only on your interest and good will. The old men dream dreams and the young men see visions. It all can come true-and with God,s help-and Yours- it will. 23
