in back of it. The Master of Science degree is neither as old nor as traditionally recognized as the degree in arts, but its prestige now is. of course. just as great. The degree of Doctor ot' Philosophy is the degree intended to indi- cate advanced and detailed research. includ- ing three times as long a period of sustained work as that signified by the master's degree. The newest degree offered in the Graduate School is that ot' Master ot' Education. This degree is of value mainly to teachers who must have a graduate degree in order to secure advancement. Although very new, the degree has already established itself in 1601311- larity. and teachers are tlocking to it, away from the more stringent requirenn-nts of the Master of Arts degree. The school was originally organized under a dean and a graduate council. The council. appointed by the president ot' the univer- sity. was given exclusive and absolute power over all graduate work in all divisions of Loy- ola. and was responsible only to the presi- dent and thc board ot' trustees. The tirst meeting ot' the council was held on May 22. 19215: attended by dean Schmidt. dean Reiner. dean Sit-denburg. dean Moorhead. dean liogan. regent Mahan. and professor Zoethout. 'l'hat tirst meeting ol' the council had much to do with shaping the destiny ot the Hraduate School, for it was then that detinite stands were taken on the require- ments for admissions and degrees, on what grades should be required. and on how the language requirement should be met. Between that time and the next meeting ot' the council, dean Schmidt had conferred with such edu- cational leaders as president lilliott ot' Purdue lvniversity. president -l. ll. I-Illitt' of the Xorth Ventral Association. ltr. t'harles ll. Judd. and ltr. Raymond M. Hughes. Suggestions from such men as these helped to determine tlle early policies ol' the t'tlllllt'll. XYe read in the records that the meeting ot' the council on May Ill, 1927 was the first occasion on which the names ot' candidates were presented for degrees. .Xt that time dean Mt-t'ormick ot' the law department presented eleven candidates for the degree ot' Master ot' liaws and dean Schmidt eight candidates for tln- mleg'1'ee ol' Master oi' Arts. About Tlll'CQ years later the council made the first change in the names of degrees. The degree conferred on students recommended from and by the School of Medicine was changed from Master of Science in Medicine to Master of Science. In the spring of 1932 the council began a series of progressive steps. The addition of economics to the departments with graduate courses was going to mean a shortage of space in the downtown building. The council de- cided to solve the p1'oblem by offering late afternoon courses on the lake shore campus. Not only the department of economics, but those of history and English as well were to take advantage of the 1l0I'lll side facilities in the late afternoon. Later, in 1932, the Reverend Samuel Knox Vllilson, SJ., now president of the univer- sity. succeeded Father Schmidt as dean of the tiraduate School. Father XVilson set as his aim the unification of graduate work through- out the university. He tried to unify the en- trance rcquirements for the different depart- ments. and his efforts to bring the committee on graduate studies at the medical school closer to the otiicial graduate council centered about a measure which made a member of the medical committee also a member of the graduate council. NVhen the Academic Council met in May. 1923-L it decided to do all in its power to unify graduate work still further. It decided to re- place the old graduate council with a new graduate senate which would give really pro- portionate representation to all departments. The senate was not to be legislative in nature, but advisory, and its recommendations were to have considerable weight with the dean. who then was, and is 11ow. the Reverend Francis .l. tlerst. S.-l. The iii-st meeting ot' the newly organized senate was held on Oc- tober 31, 193-L. lt was only a month later that the new body decided to offer the Master of Education degree. Nearly one-third of the classified students at that time were in the department ot' education, and most of them were teachers who desired professional ad- vancement. tbther universities, such as Colum- bia and Northwestern, had solved the prob- lem by offering the graduate degree in edu- cation. and l.oyola's graduate. school kept pace with educational theory and practice by following suit.
