STUYVESANT PEABODY is chairman of the Adminis trative Council. EDWARD J. FARRELL is the legal adviser of the Ad ministrative Council. lHllllllSTfillllllE To direct the affairs of any large university requires a knowledge of business as well as of education. Recog- nizing the fact that men in religious orders oftentimes have not had the necessary training for the successful management of finances, Loyola's administrators in 1930 organized a small group of experienced, outstanding Chicago business men Who were both able and willing to give sound advice to aid in the solution of Loyola's business problems. Thus was begun the Administrative Council, a body which has time and again proved itself indispensable to the university. The Administrative Council is composed of a general chairman, a legal adviser, and three committees of three members each. These eleven men have unselfishly and unsparingly given of their time and counsel to Loyola. They are men who, having achieved great success in the business world, have not forgotten that period of training through which all men must pass, but rather, mindful of the Catholic traditions in education, they are freely aiding the furthering of those traditions by giving to Loyola that which is most dear to them, their own time and service. And to them Loyola owes a real debt of gratitude. The three committees are finance, public relations, and buildings and grounds. The whole council meets only once annually, but committee meetings are called more frequently, and the advice of individual members is sought whenever needed by the administrators of the University. General chairman of the council is Mr. Stuyvesant Peabody, of the Peabody Coal Company. Mr. Edward J. Farrell, of Brewer and Farrell, leading Chicago attor- neys, is legal adviser. Necessarily the most active of the three committees during the past several years has been the Finance Committee, of which Mr. Samuel Insull Jr., of the W. A. Alexander Company, is chairman. He is assisted by Mr. Charles F. Clarke, cf Halsey, Stuart and Company, and by Mr, Matthew J. Hickey, President of Hickey and Company. The Committee on Public Relations shapes the adver- tising and publicity policies of the University. Its chairman is Mr. Edward J. Mehren, of the Portland Cement Association. Its other members are Mr. Lawrence A. Downs, of the Illinois Central Railroad, and Mr. Nlartin J. Quigley, of the Quigley Publishing Company. The Committee on Buildings and Grounds advises on major problems connected with Loyola's buildings and other properties. It is composed of Mr. David F. Brem- ner, of Bremner Brothers Biscuit Company, chairman, Mr. Edward A. Cudahy Jr., of the Cudahy Packing Company, and Mr. Walter J. Cummings, of the Con- tinental Illinois National Bank and Trust Company. . ---.uv-A---1 - 1,-...fl .Q-lfgmugmz..-L fm- f--N -1

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 .
