and capable Administration During our tenuie at La Salle College student enrollment had grown steadih and ivith this growth the problems of administration increased. To the passing student the internal -(vorkings of an institution of this size can easily remain in the backgrotnicl, especialh when the administrators are as considerate and con- genial as aie those at La Salle. In e er stage of our college career their aid has helped immeasurably in allowing us more time to de ote to our studies. Brother G. Thomas, F.S.C. Dean of Freshmen John J.
