DEAN OF FACULTIES Youthful Father George Bergen, S.J., replacing Father Crandell as Dean of Faculties, stepped into his new posi- tion this year and has very capably wrestled with the numerous prob- lems of curriculum and faculty. Father Bergen, who is also Vice-Pres ' ident of the University, Alumni Ad- visor, and a member of the Board of Directors, has helped to improve Loyola academically and physi- cally. Father was graduated from Spring Hill College with an A.B. de- gree; he earned his M.A. in English from St. Louis University in 1941. He is a Philadelphian by birth and was ordained in 1947. Two years later he came to Loyola.
