Frank J. Lewis DEDICATICN To Mr. Frank J. Lewis, one who has done so much ln recognition ot his many great contributions to the cause of higher education in the Chicago area, and, in particular, in thanksgiving tor the services and contri- butions he has rendered to De Paul University in his thirty years' association with the school, we would like to dedicate the 7956 De Paulian to Mr. Frank J. Lewis. Mr. Lewis' generosity to Catholic Charities has sur- passed almost every other man's, and he has been honored by the Church many times tor his philanthropy. He was the Hrst loyman in the Archdiocese ot Chicago to be made a Papal Count, he has received the Papal decorations of Knight Commander of the Order of St. Sylvester, Knight Commander of St. Gregory, and Knight Commander of Pius IX, he has received the St. Vincent de Paul medal from St. John's University, and he has received the honorary degree of LL.D. from DePaul. With all this before us, we feel very insignificant, yet we hope that this great and humble man will find a place among his many honors for this small token of recognition and thanksgiving we give to him. 7
