ATTHEW I. HICKEY, esteemed by financiers as one of the outstanding members of the Board of Trade, received his secondary educa- tion at St. Ignatius College as a member of the class of l9l3. Prevented from completing his college education, he began his eventful career in a local bank, and being eventually attracted to the field of investments, he was employed by Halsey, Stuart and Company. The success attending his work with this firm enabled him, when only twenty-eight years old, to establish the nationally prominent house which now bears his name. Mr. Hickey can look forward to many years of successful business leadership.

ln recognition of his loyalty as an alumnus, and in gratitude for his generous service as a member of the Administrative Council, Mr. Matthew I. Hickey, of Hickey, Doyle and Company, has been selected for the dedication of the l932 LOYOLAN. People in general hold the belief that an ardent Catholicism is inconsistent with worldly success: and yet, the distinctive feature of Mr. Hickey's brilliant career is that it demonstrates clearly the compatibility of these two elements. His fine appreciation of, and loyal devotion to, the cause of Catholic education single him out as one of Loyola's most distinguished sons. As counsellor to the university in the matter of investments, he has placed at its disposal the vast knowledge and unusually keen insight which characterize him as an emi- nent financial leader of our day. Loyola University is justly proud to honor Mr. Hickey in this signal manner.
