Academic Life Proves Rewarding The endless rounds of classes, conferences, quizzes, and exams often make a blur of academic life for hardworking undergraduates. The assimilation of new knowledge is not easy and the results often seem, at first sight, inconse- quential when compared to the effort. The change is slow, but it is there. A joke in a new language to a friend, a thought of unexpected depth, a lifelong belief reexamined and rejected or confirmed— and the student sees that the work will eventually achieve the goal. Loyola university ' s six schools and colleges—arts and sciences, business administration, music, law, dentistry, pharmacy, and the evening division— are dedicated to this goal: the formation of a well-rounded individual, equipped for leadership in the intellectual, social, civic, and religious circles of his world and man ' s.

Loyola is proud of her academic standing as a leading Catholic university, the largest in the South. Blessed with the long-standing reputation of her Jesuit administration and well-qualified faculty and staff, she offers bachelor of arts or sciences and masters degrees in six schools and colleges, in the graduate division and in the evening divi- sion. With the advent of the space age she has found extra cause for academic joy in graduates such as Charles P. Smith, Jr., physics major in the class of ' 43 and now serv- ing in the key post of project manager for Telstar, America ' s history-making communications satellite. Grants were received with reassuring regularity. Dr. Carl Brans of the physics department explored applications of Einstein ' s theory of relativity; high school teachers took part in a nationwide project to revamp and update high school sciences courses. Grants for research and scholar- ships were presented by the Rotary club and the National Science Foundation, among several others.
