1k De Paul, true to the ideals of the Catholic philosophy of education, of- fers a variety of fields in which a student may specialize and obtain true knowledge. Each professor is of the highest caliber in his field of study, and, as such, he endeavors to send forth graduates who are well fitted for the immediate goals of their choice. The best in education is a phrase de- scriptive of De Paul.

w? W1 t h! Wm; ; x His Eminence, The Most Reverend Samuel Cardinal Stritch,D.D. Archbish op of Chicago CARDINAL STRITGH To his Eminence, Samuel Cardinal Stritch, the students of De Paul University humbly ex- tend their sincerest and most hecrtfelt cori- gratulations on his designation to the College of Cardinals. It is, indeed, the highest of all personal honors and dignity given to him by our Holy Father, Pius XII. But perhaps greater is the honor that has been bestowed on our City and its citizens. The distinction that has come to Chicago and in particular, to De Paul is unique in that so large a flock shall be guided by a Prince of such moral, cultural, and charitable ideals. May Chicago follow his stcr of success!
