marily with the work of the t ollcge of Arts and Sciences on the lake shore campus, but in no sense should we slight the work and his- tory of the downtown school, this year known as the l'niversity College, Organized in 1914. and now situated on the downtown campus at 29 North Franklin Street, l'niversity Vollcge offers full curricula toward baccalaureate de- grees in late afternoon. evening. and Satur- day classes. for some of which it uses the facilities of the lake shore campus. The stu- dent body comes mainly from teachers, and the college aims especially to meet their needs for advancement in their profession and their field of scholarly work. Activities include the Della Strada sodal- ity, various clubs growing out of special in- terests and a wish to expand the students' knowledge of their field, such as Le t'erele Francaise. and, of course, participation in the all-university organizations and activities. An- nually. there is a retreat given for the Cath- olic students: this year it was given by the Reverend Edward L. Volnon. S.-l. Finally. to insure that the intluences and friendships of college years are maintained. there is an active alumnae association. Most certainly no history of the arts col- lege would be complete without at least an acknowledgement of the great inliuence of the men who have been president of the univer- sity and deans of the College. The presidents. then. were the Reverend XVilliam H. Agnew. SJ., the Reverend Robert M. Kelley, -l.. and the present president. the Reverend Samuel Knox XVilson, S. J. lt was in Father Agnew's term 41921-19275 that the college was moved to the north side, and the founda- tions for most of the work we have discussed were laid. In Father Kelley 's term the action which distinguishes the growth and life of the college continued to be in evidence: the erection of the library and the stadium. and the famous abolition of football. Father iVil- son's term is still in progress. and it is a tru- ism of historiography that it is well-nigh im- possible to have an impartial view and a proper perspective on recent events. The Rev- erend Joseph Reiner. S. J.. was dean of the college from 19253 till 1932, when he was suc- ceeded by the Reverend Thomas A. Egan. S.-1. At the time of Father l1gan's appoint- 25 ment, the Reverend Xivilliain .L l lllllf'2Hll, S. J.. was made dean of the ,junior college. Perhaps a few words about several changes that have characterized the progressive spirit ofthe lfollege oi' .Xrts and Sf'lClll'f'S should be said at this time before closing the chronicle of the college. The past two years have secn a number of concrete examples ot' that spirit of progress, Outstanding among the many problems solved by the administration during the re- covery period ol' the depression was the for- mation of organizations composed of thc par- ents of the students on the arts campus. The purpose of what later were to become the Loy- ola Fathers' t'lub and the Lo5'ola Mothers t'lub was to foster a greater interest on thc part of the parents in the work of their chil- dren and to promulgate in so far as it was possible a spirit of good wiil between the university and the parents. That the Two parental organizations have more than ful- filled their ends is manifest in the rapid growth ot' the clubs and in the wide variety of undertakings that they sponsor. ln April the student body of the arts col- lege was pleasantly surprised to hear of the appointment of Father Finnegan to succeed Father Egan as dean of the college on the lake shore campus. The change was necessitated by the manifold duties of former dean ligan on the lake shore campus and in the l'niversity l'ollege. Leaving the north campus. Father Egan assumes the post ot' dean of the l'ni- versity l ollege ln brief, then. the arts college. both the tfollege of Arts and Sciences on the lake shore campus and the Vniversity Follege. has full claim to be called the heart of the university. From her Hows the spirit and the activity which is the life-blood of the university: it is her men and women. drilled in their funda- mentals. imbued with a culture and a tradi- tion which is the result and the fruit of cen- turies of experience in the work of educating the young. it is these who form the nucleus of the professional and the graduate schools of the university: it is they who should he. though the youngest of the university 's stu- dents. still her most active and enthusiastic. and, in tine. her leaders. as they shall be lead- ers in later life.
