Aid in this expansion is coming from outside Loyola as well as from within. Several educational foundations, seeing the worth of Loyola's cause, have contributed sig- nificant sums of money to accelerate this development. Notable among these has been the Ford Foundation's grant of T5900,000 to Loyolals Stritch School of Medicine, which was given in recognition of the great work done by this school. In addition, the annual deficit of the Stritch School of Medicine, sometimes running to as much as l5500,000, is supplied by the Archdiocese of Chicago. In this same Vein, there has been formed this year a new organization known as Businessmen for Loyola. This group of distinguished business leaders has raised 3225,000. These funds will be used to initiate Loyola's greater teaching program, which will increase the salaries of the universityls teaching staff. The most recent addition to Loyolais facilities is the newly acquired Commonwealth Edison generating station at 820 North Rush Street. Plans for the use of this build- ing have not yet been completed, but it is felt that the prime factor in the decision of the function of this building in the educational scheme of the university will be for the good of the student. Several plans have been suggested for the possible use of the building. Among these are a library, a student union, or an addition to the Law School. In commemoration of their first one hundred years in Chicago, the Jesuit Fathers compiled the Jesuit Centennial list of one hundred outstanding Chicagoans. These one hundred were chosen for their distinguished achievement and outstanding contributions to this city. The naming of Chicago's most distinguished citizens was a part of the four-month long Jesuit Centennial ob- servance. Prompted by newspaper and radio-television support of the project, more than nine-thousand Chi- cagoans submitted nominations of men and women whom they considered to be outstanding in their activities for the advancement of Chicago. Awarding the citations is the Jesuits, way of expressing the Orderls appreciation for the opportunity to serve Chicago and its citizens for the past one hundred years. Members of virtually every field of endeavor received citations. A few of those honored were: Judge John P. Barnes, formerly of the Federal District Court of Chicago, Dr. Herman N. Bundesen, President of the Chicago Board of Health, Henry Crown, Chairman of the Board, Material Service Corporation, John F. Cuneo, President of the Cuneo Press, Richard Daly, Mayor of the City of Chicago, Honorable Paul H. Douglas, United States Senator from Illinois, Willis Gale, Chairman of the Board, Commonwealth Edison Company, Maurice Goldblatt, Chairman of the Board, Goldblatt Brothers Incorporated, James S. Kemper, Chairman of the Board, Lumber- manis Mutual Casualty Company, and according to Fortune Magazz'ne, one of the ten richest men in America, Martin H. Kennelly, Business and civic leader, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lewis, philanthropists, William L. Fetridge, General President, Building Ser- vice Employees' International Union, and Adlai E. Stevenson, twice Democratic nominee for President of the United States. The Jesuits, this year, are embarking on their second century in Chicago with the same zealous determination which motivated Reverend Arnold Damen, S.J., one hundred years ago. May their second century in Chicago be as fruitful as their first.
