ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS The department of Eeonomics and Business marked its second year of the merger of the former depart¬ ments of Accounting, Economics, and Business Admin¬ istration. According to department chairman Rev. Ed¬ mund Kurth, the past year has shown continued growth in the department in areas of personnel, services, and courses offered, in order to give the student both a lib¬ eral arts education and professional training in Ameri¬ can industry and business. One of the proudest accomplishments of the depart¬ ment is the computer center headed by Mr. Robert Pommerich. This year, Mr. Donald Schneider has as¬ sumed a half-day position, working in the area of “cur¬ riculum enrichment of the social-sciences. Through the use of the memory bank of the Iowa City computer, students and faculty will eventually be able to receive statistics directly from the centralized computer system. Increased use of the Tri-College Consortium is noted by Father Kurth. Mr. Laddie Sula of Loras is teaching a course at Clarke, while Mr. Steve Hills of Clarke now teaches a course at Loras. Increased cross-registration with both Clarke and the University of Dubuque has improved the selection of courses available for students. REV. EDMUND A. KURTH, Ph.D. Professor Chairman FRANCIS J. NOONAN, M.A. LESTER M. BECKER, M.A. Professor Professor

CLASSICAL LANGUAGES REV. J. KENNETH DOWNING, Ph.D. Professor REV. WILFRED C. JOHANNES, Ph.D. Associate Professor Chairman This year, the Classical Languages Department was proud to announce the publication, by Harvard Press, of a work by Father Kenneth Downing. Father Down¬ ing s book is part of a twelve volume series on the works of Gregory of Nyssa, which has been hailed by critics as “one of the great classical studies of this century.” The department is working with the Tri-College cooperative effort by opening its facilities to Clarke and University students. Each year the Department cooper¬ ates with the Loras History Department and offers a course in ancient history for credit in either depart¬ ment. The Classical Languages Department also plans to keep enlarging the collection of editions of Horaces works, now in the Library Rare Book Room. REV. WILLIAM G. MOST, Ph.D. Professor REV. NEIL W.
