JESUS 0 MCMXL Qi. QM mf. .SM In 11926, the Graduate School of lioyola University was founded in order to organize and supervise the graduate courses that were being ofl'ered at some olf the other schools of the uni- versity. Although its existence has been limited to fourteen short years, it has, nevertheless. exerted considerable influence in the Held of research and scholarship throughout this area. 'Father Agnew, then President of the University, founded the Graduate School and made the Reverend Austin G. Schmidt, SJ., its lirst Dean. At the beginning the Master of Arts degree was otffered in Education, ljaw, Medicine, Psychology, and Sociology, as well as the degree olf Doctor ot Philosophy in Education. Later the graduate degrees in Medicine and Ilaw were discontinued and advanced work in Sociology was replaced by the degree in Social NVork. Advanced courses leading to the Master 's degree in His- tory, linglish, Mathematics, Philosophy, 'l reneh, and tihcmistry were placed on the curriculum. Doctoral work in linglish, Latin, .I.'hilosophy, and History was added. This year the 'first Doctor of Philosophy in lfhemistry was awarded to Clyde Aubrey Crowley. Fourteen other graduate degrees were also awarded this year at the Midyear tfonvocatiion. XVhen, i11 1932, Father Schmidt resigned to take charge of the Loyola University Press, Father Samuel Knox WVilson, SJ., took charge of the school. His tenure olf office was for only twelve months, for at the completion of the term he was appointed 'Presi- dent o'E the University. He was succeeded by the Reverend Fran- cis J. Gerst, SJ., the present incumbent. The school offers five degrees. Since earliest university times the degree of Master of Arts has been the traditional and histori- cal degree. It has been awarded by the universities of Bologna, Salerno. Paris, and Oxford, for over six hundred years. 'l'he de- gree ot Master of Science is neither as old nor as traditional as the Arts degree, but it carries much weight and prestige. 'l'he THE PLICVEBENAD AUSTlN G. SCl'IMlD'l', S.
