Davish, promoted to full professor, contributed an article on Christology to the New Catholic Encyclopedia, which will be appearing soon. Fr. Gordon, along with teaching apologetics in the day school, has been busy in the Evening College conducting a series of lectures on biblical studies, featuring many of the leading Catholic biblical scholars, and has conducted a series of lectures featuring the non-Catholic religious leaders of the community.

THOMAS J. HIGGINS, S.J. Professor Chairman of Department Philosophy DANIEL E. CAVANAUGH, S.J. The Philosophy Department has led quite an active life during the past year. Fr. Higgins, the Chairman, is currently putting the finishing touches on his latest book. Fr. Scanlan wrote the last two chapters of his treatise on rational psychology and hopes to have the book published shortly. Mr. Mc- Nierney joined the faculty as a full-time member this year. His History of Philosophy course was so successful that it was expanded to several se- mesters. Along with several other professors, he organized the seminar on Problems in Belief which was extremely well received. Mr. McNier- ney formerly studied at the Sorbonne and is as- sociated vyjth the Helicon Press. In an effort to broaden the perspective in which philosophy is offered, Mr. McDermott and Mr. McNierney in- troduced an anthology of classical and contempo- rary metaphysicians and Mr. Genovesi used a text in existential phenomenology in his course in The Philosophy of Man.

English The English Department has continued this year to be a growing and dynamic influence on campus. The Honors Seminar project has been very successful. It now includes seminars on the novel, the drama, and poetry. Various members of the department has been influential in getting several poets, among them Brother An- toninus, to come and speak to the students. Fr. Lavin returned in February from six months in Europe and England and where he toured and did research in 18th Century Literature at the London Library and the British Museum. Mr. Visnow was extremely popular in his first year here. Dr. Kinter, aside from his teaching duties, published introductions to Dante and T. S. Eliot for The Yale Studies in Literature. Dr. Hands, in his capacity as Chairman of the Fellowship Committee, proved an invaluable assistant to seniors applying to graduate schools. It was largely due to Mr. Voci ' s vigorous leadership that the Literary Society was so successful during the past year. HENRY ST. C. LAVIN, S.J. Associate Professor Chairman of Department CHARLES B.
