The new location of the downtown campus and the construction of the Up- town College of Liberal Arts Building in 1924 were the outstanding achieve- ments of the administration of the Very Rev. Thomas F. Levan, C.lVl. Consid- ered one of the most brilliant priests of the western province of the Congrega- tion of the Mission, Father Levan served as president from 1920 to 1930. Consolidation of the rapidly growing University and refinement of its admin- istration were the chief contributions of the Very Rev. Francis V. Corcoran, C.M., who served until 1935 as DePaul's fifth president. The construction of new quarters for the constantly growing sci- ence departments, deferred through Father Corcoran's regime because of the financial panic of the early 3U's, was at last undertaken in 1937 during the administration of DePauls sixth president, the Very Rev. Michael l. C'Connell, C.lVl. The new l-lall of Sci- ence, erected on the uptown campus at a cost of some SBZSODUU, was ready for classes in September, 1938. The Very Rev. Comerford l. C'Malley, C.M., succeeded Father C'Connell in October, 1944. Like his two immediate predecessors, Father O'Malley is a na- tive of Chicago. ln his relatively brief period of administration, he has seen the University swing from the problems of wartime disruptions in higher educa- tion to the equally harassing problems of postwar accommodation of the de- mands of young Chicagoans for edu- cational opportunity. For the first time in its history, the Uni- versity looks to the future with complete freedom to plan how it can more suc- cessfully meet Chicago's needs in the field of higher education. To assist him, Father C'Malley an- nounced in March, 1946, the formation of a Board of Lay Trustees consisting of a number of Chicago's leaders in com- merce, finance, industry, and the pro- fessions. ln the hands of these men, the blueprint of DePaul's future is being fashioned. .Q
