Luke Shore Campus The College of Arts and Sciences, situated on the lake shore at 6525 Sheridan Road, is the oldest branch of Loyola's widespread university. Originally established on the west side in 1870, the location was changed to the present site in 1922. Until 1909 the College was called Saint Ignatius Collegeg this building is now occupied by Saint Ignatius High School. In 1932, the Reverend Thomas A. Egan, SJ., was named dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, while the Reverend Willizim A. Finnegan, SJ., was appointed dean of the junior college situated in the same building. The arrangement continued until the close of the 1935-36 school year when the two branches were separated, the one under Father Egan moving downtown and becoming the present University College, the other remaining on the Lake Shore Campus having Father Finnegan as dean. Wluile the two branches offer similar curricula, the University College conducts afternoon and evening classes consequently attracting older students, daytime classes are held on the Lake Shore Campus. Also situated on the Lake Shore Campus is the day Commerce School which offers degrees in the fields of Economic Theory, Finance and Accounting. Mr. Henry T. Chamberlain, C.P.A., is the dean of the School of Commerce. During the past three years the Reverend james V. Kelly, S. J., as assistant dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and dean of Freshmen has been assisting the newcomers on their choice of curricula. As the College of Arts and Sciences offers the more general courses and its student body is composed of younger men, it is the center of the extra-curricular activities of the university. This is especially true since the college occupied its present location. The former Saint Igfmlins Collegian became the Loyola Qlmrterly and is now ranked THE R1:vL1u:ND JAMES T HUSSIIY, 5.1. DR.

the lirst time in the Madonna Della Strada Chapel. The students anticipated the retreat with a typical just another retreat attitude, but it resulted in the most successful retreat that Loyola has ever seen. The students, under the tutelage of Father Clark, SJ., had determined to take the retreat seriously. Such interest in lectures, such silence kept by the students, frequency of relig- ious activities such as the Way of the Cross had never been seen in any of Loyola's former retreats. It was the students themselves who suggested the Holy Hour which was conducted by Father Clark on the evening of the junior Prom. This Holy Hour was attended by more than two hundred students and their dates. This may very probably turn into the establishment of a new and praiseworthy tradition. This year also saw the first combined retreat for the students of the Medical School and the Law School. This retreat was held in the Chapel on the Lake Shore Campus. The retreatmaster of the professional school's retreat was Father Citrik, SJ., M.D., of Cleveland, Ohio. The services of this retreat were exceptionally well attended by the professional students. Phi Mu Chi sponsored its second dance of the year on Easter Sunday. This very successful dance was held in the Knickerbocker Hotel and was well at- tended by the students. The Sophomore Cotillion, always a popular dance with the students, was held in the Grand Ballroom of the same hotel on the following Friday. The Father's and Mother's Clubs sponsored the annual scholarship party in the Stevens Hotel on May 16 which was attended by over two thousand people. T1-IL RLVLREND ALPHONSE J. ScHM1T1', SJ.

PAUL LIETZ Instructor in History THE REVIERISND VINCENT I-Irma, S.j. Assistant Professor of Psychology among the outstanding college literary magazines in the country. In 1924 the Loyola News, a weekly newspaper of all-University activities, and the Loyolmz, the official year-book of the university, saw their hrst publications. Since then there has been a steady How of new activities in almost every conceivable field-social, literary, cultural, athletic, religious and scientific. Athletic activities are considered by both students and faculty to be an integral part of the educational program. As evidence of student interest there has even been an organization formed in the past few years to promote school spirit, known as the Green Circle. The site of the college was chosen by the Reverend Henry Dumbach, SJ., in 1902, and the first building erected in 1909 was named in his honor. Dumbach Hall is at present occupied by Loyola Academy, the university high school. It was due to the generosity of Michael Cudahy that the science building bearing his name was erected in 1922. It is in this building that classes are held for the Arts and Science under- graduates and the students of the clay Commerce School. During the 1920's the Faculty Building, the residence of the Jesuit faculty members, and the Alumni Gym- nasium were built. The gymnasium has been, and still is, most useful not only for the recreational purposes of the students, but also for the basketball, swimming, and other athletic events. The Elizabeth M. Cudahy Memorial Library, which is the library for the College of Arts and Sciences, was erected by Mr. Edward A. Cudahy in 1930 and given by him to the University as a memorial to his wife. It has been clue to the untiring efforts of the Reverend james Mertz, SJ., over the past decade that the Madonna Della Strada Chapel has been prepared for use this previous summer. Pews have been installed and a temporary altar erected and this year has seen the initiation of the weekly student Mass on the campus. all egg, I VT ..j .'. ,e i -
