They exercise him in exactness of conception in grasping the foreign thought, and in delicacy of expression in clothing that thought in the dissimilar garb of the mother- tongue. While recognizing, then, in education the necessity and importance of Mathematics and the Natural Sciences the Jesuit system has unwaveringly kept Language in a position of honor as an instrument of culture.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS. All applicants for admission to Loyola College must have completed a four years’ high school course in a recognized institution. They must also give satis- factory evidence of good moral character, and of honorable dismissal from the school which they last attended.
