William M. Davisii, S.J. Associate Professor Chairman of Department Joseph A. d’Invilliers, S.J. Professor The revised theology program entered its second year, with Father Smardon again teaching New Testament to 183 freshmen. Father Davish phased out the old progiam with 188 juniors and successfully introduced honors work for 14 outstanding students. Father Schaffner’s sophomore courses in soteriology and ecclesiology will hereafter be integrated in an expanded coverage of dogma in junior year, as conversely the philosophy department now offers logic and metaphys- ics to sophomores instead of juniors. Father Schaffner meanwhile taught 140 seniors as Father Scanlan was at Oxford writing a book, and Father Cavanaugh taught both evening courses. The theology faculty will probably be increased next year. The Theology De- partment was offered this year a number of scholarships to Boston College.

Thomas J. Higgins, S.J. Professor Chairman of Department Frederick J. Scott, SJ. Assistant Professor The Philosophy Department showed itself ready to change and develop this year when the school year began in the fall. Henceforth, the sophomores will be in- itiated into the world of philosophy in Logic and Metaphysi % «o be followed in Junior Year by courses Hn the Philosophy of Man and in Epistemology; Ethics, the capstone of philosophy, will complete the sequence in Senior Year. The new program has the advantage that a greater length of time is allowed for the assimilation of this difficult but important field of inquiry. Two new instructors were added to the department, Eather Albert Jenemann, S.J., and Mr. Brian McDermott, S.J. Albert H. Jenemann, S.J. Instructor Leo j. O’Donovan, S.J. Instructor Brian O. McDermott, S.J. Instructor 15
