X X C LOYOLA 0 MCMXL 4 ather il on When last year the Reverend Samuel Knox Wilson, S.J., president of Loyola University was being interviewed, he remarked, l have achieved two things at Loyola, lf introduced the honors courses and l planted trees. And it is with eonsiderable truth that he has made this remark l'or the introduction of the Ilonors courses has been one of the most far reaching steps in education that has been taken at the University. As a leader in progressive eduea- tion and as an eminent authority in history, Father VVilson has received national recognition. He has received his Ph.D. degree in history from Cambridge 'University and is the author of a widely used textbook on American. history. His interest in the University has been both scholarly and intensely practical. Like the trees which he has planted and which will grow to ma.- turity only alter many years, so will many of his ideas for the expansion of the University be realized in the years to come. As Father Wilson completes his seventh, year as president, the student body cannot but feel proud ol' him tor his outstanding career as at nationally known and respected educator, for his many services to Loyola, and 'l'or the progress which lioyola has made under his guidanee.

JESUS ' MCMXL dministrativ oun il It is exceedingly difficult il'or a religious order to handle properly the iinancial affairs oi' a. large educational institution, such as Loyola. Trained for educational and religious purposes, clerics are not meant to administer affairs in the financial world. Realizing' this fact, the previous presidents ol' the Univer- city set about procuring a body that would serve as advisor and administrator ol' the financial business of the 'University Loyola has been most: fortunate in her choice ol' administrators. She has acquired men 2l'or that Council whose personal records in the business world present the answer to Loyola successful 'financial condition ol' today. 'I'he Administrative Council is made up olf a. general adviser, a legal adviser, and three committees ol' tlnfee members each, These com- mittees are dcsiginated as the 'Finance flom- , mittee, the Public Relations Committee, and the fl43uilcling's and Grounds tlominitntee. The first ol' these committees is particularly active in the supervision ol' investments. 'Phe workings and duties of the latter two are to shape the advertising and public policies ol' the school, and to advise on major problems connected with ,lioyola's buildings and other properties. Just as the Academic tlouncil in- sures proper management and regulation oi' the educational side ol' the institution, so the Administrative l'ouncil insures the proper handling ot' the financial end ol' the school. ',l'lie whole council meets annually but once, but committee meetings are called more jlfre- quently, andthe advice oi' individual members is sought whenever needed by the oliicers ofthe llniversity. ......7,.-.-...............-.... -.,.
