fH PRESIDENT OF LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, AN EDUCATOR OF WIDE RENOWN. FROM DREAM TO REALITY is the unspoken sentiment of both Father VVilson and Father Mcrtz as they compare the model of the chapel with what has already been completed. With a keen eye of the iapidly changing World and with the Christian principles guiding Jesuit edu- cation fixed firmly in mind, the Rev, Samuel Knox Wilson, S.J., president, skillfully directs the course of Loyola University. Having received his Ph.D. degree in history at Cambridge University, Father Wilson is the author of a widely used textbook on American history and a competent authority on present-day affairs. One of the most prominent and influential educators in the United States, he was re-elected secretary of the Col- lege and University Department of the National Catholic Educational Association and a member of the National Executive Board of that organization. He is also a member of several other of its committees and Editor of its newspaper, THE COLLEGE NEWS- LETTER, which is issued quarterly to Catholic colleges and universities. Chief among the several advancements made at Loyola since Father Wilson became President in 1933 is the inauguration of the honors system, a develop- ment for which he received nation-wide recognition. For his many services to Loyola, for the remarkable progress Loyola has made under his leadership, and for his outstanding career as a nationally known and respected educator, Father Wilson is a President of whom we may feel justly proud. THE NEWEST BUILDING in the Uni- versity is right outside Father Wilsoiils office. He frequently inspects the progress of the construction of the chapel. 5 I I AN UNTIRING WORKER, Father Wilson remains at his desk until late every day seeing that all those details of the University requiring his atten- tion are properly disposed of. 1' , AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVER- SITY, Father Wilson presides at all Convocations. As one interested in true education, he cannot but feel proud of these products of Jesuit teaching. .' T ui, ii . 'I ui I F' jiffiisiiifii 'H' 1 zfaizt H Hy, if Tqgfz- um i , Qs H-Q , , A , 1, , I .
