In the past leadership at Loyola University has been taken too much for granted. Through the portals of Marquette Hall have passed many out- standing leaders. With them went the gratitude of the university and of the few students who realized the fine work done by these men. The Wolf, realizing the need of recognition for these men is proud to inaugurate the WOLF LEADERSHIP AWARD. This award will be given annually to the graduating senior who has distinguished himself by his service, loyalty and leadership. The prime purpose of the award is to stimulate Interest in the type of extra-curricular activity that will promote leadership later in the business world. Service and loyalty to one ' s university are the first signs of such development. The award this year was donated to the Wolf by Mr. Louis H. Pllie, a member of the firm of Barton, Pllie, Sere Wermuth, certified public ac- countants. Father Roy, president of the university, commented as follows on the award: The Wolf Leadership Award will be a grand stimulus to individuals among our students from the time they enter the university. Those who grad- ually become prominent in leadership will be in keen competition with each other for the high distinction of being declared the outstanding leader on the campus In his senior year. The student who merits the award will win a signal honor of which he always will be justly proud. The committee, who decided the winner of the award, was composed of members of the faculty. Presentation of the award will take place at the annual university trophy night. Johnny In his well known role as Pi Kappa Epsilon president.
