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.

Henry St. C. L.yvin, S.J. Assistant Professor of English Chairman of Department The English Department has been ex- perimenting in several directions this year. For the first time there were Honors Sem- inar projects, one for the freshman on the novel and one for sophomores on the drama. Mr. Hoegberg continued again the precep- torial groups which allow him to give in- dividual attention to each student. In ad- dition, the department co-sponsored three films this year, Hamlet, Oedipus Rex and Chaucer; they were well received by the student body. The department members have also been quite active in extra-departmental affairs. P. Edward Kaltenbach Professor of Classics Chairman of Department Liberal Arts . . . Fr. Favin, S. J., past president of the Col- lege English Association, became a member of the executive board this past year. He and Mr. Voci attended the C.E.A. meeting in Washington.

He is also the campus representative of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation. HONORS SEMINAR — Mr. Hoegberg makes a humorous retcrrt in the freshman seminar on the novel.
