FOREWORD TIME serves to throw a haze over past experiences. We should he thankful for this natural process so far as painful experiences are concerned, for in the assuagement of time lies salvation from despair and insanity. But we should try to lceep happy memories always before us as definitely and as clearly as possible. Hence the value of this, our school annual. lt has been designed and put together so as to reflect, in the best possible manner, the lille we have lived as college men, and the memories of college days with which at present our minds are replete. We conceive of our school as an organic whole, composed of Administration, Faculty, and Student Body. all inter-dependent, fulfilling separate smaller functions, yet with the whole worlcing as a unit for the attainment of definite ideals. Our theme aims at depicting these ideals as successfully lived hy men in the world of men. It is hoped that they will he an inspiration to us at those times in life when we may, perhaps, have the desire to throw up our hands and despair of ever reaching to their heights. We leave you here with a view to the future. Long may you live and pleasant he your memories of the years spent in Fordham. If this volume helps in any way to malce those memories brighter, clearer and more concrete in the unlcnown future, we will feel we have done well, and are more than repaid for the lahor which we have put into the production of the 1957 ARIES.

X History of Fordham College, Manhattan Division And School of Business Administration FORDHAM College, Manhattan Division, was founded in 1925 as a one year evening pre-law course to prepare properly high school graduates for Fordham Law School. At the end ol the second year of its existence it was decided that one year ol preliminary training was insufficient and a two-year course was inaugurated. The original curriculum. of necessity confined to essentials, had none ol the variety of course selection availaltmle to the Bachelor ot Science candidate ot 1957. The contemporary student, memlaer ol a hody numlnering nine hun- dred, is perhaps unfamiliar with the administrative foresight that resulted in the growth ol his school. lts directors, alert to improvement while main- taining the ideals laehind its founding, have lcept pace with the develop- ments in this constantly changing educational era. ln altering the school plan to a two-year period ot training in 1926, they had anticipated the 1928 ruling ot the University ol the State of New Yorlc requiring at least two years ol college worlc for a law students qualifying certificate. ln 1925 the students, time was economized hy the institution of a February Freshman Class which made Septemlmer entrance into Sophomore year possilnle through summer-session attendance. ln 1928 a most important advance was made when the two-year pre-law plan was extended to a lull tour-year College curriculum, awarding a Bachelor of Science degree. The original purpose ol Fordham College, Manhattan Division, re- mains to alzlord special preparation, in morning and evening sessions, for law and pulalic service with a regular college course. However, the addition of courses in American Government, lnternational Relations, and Comparative Government, has widened its curriculum. Equally successful has heen the development of the School ot Busi- ness Administration. The senior of Fordham College, Manhattan Divis- ion, hy three years, it was organized in 1920. Originally intended for a School of Accountancy, approved and supported lay the Reverend Edward Pllivnan, S.J.,ak then President of the University, the first classes in Account- ing, Business Law and Business English were conducted in the schol- 3401120 MARCH 31, 1957, R.1.P. 4 i N . , ,... 7 'I ' 'W 1 W. 1 x - ' 7f2?iZ43jMQ?5D3'5fiCf2?Q A ' QL QD 59 7 5552?
