THE YEAR'S ACHIEVEMENTS The scholastic year l93l -32 was marked by the continued growth ot every department ol the university, Not only did the registration on practically every campus increase beyond any tormer mark, but the achievements ot Loyola students proved that in intelligence and earnest- ness they are not to be surpassed. Perhaps the outstanding venture ot Loyola outside her own locality was the success which attended her ettorts in the Inter-collegiate Latin and English Contests Five students trom the College ot Arts and Sciences placed in the two contests tar outdistancing any such record made by the university in the past, At the professional schools representatives ot Loyola were no less commendable. Gut ot the tour hundred odd candidates in the Cr P A examinations, tive students ot the Loyola Commerce School secured passing grades, a larger number than that ot any other school in the state ot Illinois. lvloreover, a larger percentage ot Loyola law students passed the bar examination than ot any other institution in the state. Not to be outdone, the lifledical School saw twenty-one ot its young medics pass the Cook County l-lospital examinations tor the interneship, This number was greater than that ot any other ot the tour leading med' ical schools ot the Chicago area, all ot whom had candidates in the trial. The past year witnessed the establishment ot intramural sports on a tirm basis The number ot students trom all parts ot the university who participated in some torm ot intramural athletics proved conclusively that physical development tor the entire student body is now a reality and will continue to be so permanently A rather intangible achievement, one that perhaps would include all the others, is the development ot an all-university spirit, which has been going on tor some time and is now attaining notable proportions This is an untinished work that is to continue until the various schools can clearly recognize in one another a ditterent aspect ot the same solicitous teacher and guide, Loyola University ,cn I Aa 'Z .

Periodically throughout history citizens have manifested an antipathy and often a positive contempt for their civic obliga- tions. The results of this injudicious action are reflected in the increasing difficulty legislators encounter in their attempt to preserve a harmonious relationship between the manifold factors which, united, mean effective government. As Chief justice of the Supreme Court, judge White distin- guished himself by his refined sense of justice and equity discernible in all his decisions. That citizens, Catholics in par- ticular, should strive for the ideals which stimulated this man, and endeavor earn- estly to cultivate that same appreciation of duty to their civic institutions is forcibly brought to our attention by the defiance of the present generation towards legal enactments and its inexplicable indif- ference toward the principles upon which our legislative and judicial departments rest. That a continuance of the present evils means the inevitable downfall of our political system.
