O l J ADMINISTRAT A Catholic institution, necessarily operated by men trained and htted primarily for educational and religious instruction, can very easily encounter serious iinancial or legal problems. This is due, largely, to the wide diiference between the cultural training of the religious and the mundane operations of the financial world. lt is imperative, therefore, that laymen should be found who are capable of performing these duties with the ability so much needed for the successful operation of a large institution like Loyola University.

Father Wilstin received his Ph.D. degree in history from Cambridge University in England, coming to Loyola as a professor of history. Author of a prominent textbook in American History, and an eminent authority upon the political philosophies and movements which are engrossing the modern world, Father Wilstiii has received national recognition for his acute studies of the rapidly changing world. Qutstanding of' his achievements, however, is his development of a new system of college work, known as the honors system. lt has been the president's belief that many students of outstanding ability are retarded in their mental progress due to an inelastic and rigid standard of college requirements. Accordingly, Father Wilstwii inaugurated a system whereby students showing definite signs of extraordinary ability would not be required to attend any specific class. These students at the conclusion of their four years of work are then required to take a liberal examination which covers the entire field of liberal knowledge. Not only the honors system, but other advances have been made by the University under the guidance of Father Wilstiii.
