iven the lab reflects the vivid hues of the university campus as a group of pharmacy students conduct an experiment that combines the knowledge of hemistry as well as that of the healing compounds. Pharmacy students do many such experiments during the three year program. University Objectives Seem A Paradox £ A UNIVERSITY is something of a paradox. She must develop constancy of mind while fight- ing complacency in thought. . m B She is a guardian of traditions, ' et she must be the first to discard the old and outworn. Loyola s no exception: she honors the past and takes an active part n this century of great advances. In the evening division, a four year degree program in rriminology for New Orleans police veterans and aspiring radets was conceived and implemented by Or. Raymond P. A itte, director of the evening division, local businessman J. Fant Taylor and 21 other civic leaders of New Orleans. Many grants for research and scholarships were received. Among them a $210,000 grant from the U.S. Public Health Service to Loyola ' s Health Research center. The center will, over the next five years, analyze over 25,000 deciduous (baby) teeth to determine their content of radioactive strontium-90, especially predominant in the milk of the South. An IBAA computer center, to be used for undergraduate in- struction and graduate research, was established in the mathematics department through matching $24,170 grants from Loyola and the National Science foundation. 15

Progress And Growth 1 Two scholars confer during class As Wall Street would put it, Loyola is a going concern. A living, vital organism, she is expanding and diversifying in many directions all the time. Her six schools and colleges— arts and sciences, business administration, music, lav , dentistry, phar- macy and the evening division— showed a nine per- cent increase over the 1962 enrollment, bringing her students to a force of about 3,500 souls. Although most of her studentry is from New Orleans and the Deep South area, it is enriched with youth from some 36 states and 16 foreign countries. Progress was especially notable in the continuing education programs. With over 100 students after only three years in operation, the graduate business program showed a 100 percent. increase in enrollment. More than 600 students in all have attended Loyola ' s sixth annual summer school in Mexico City, with a record total of 207 scholars from 70 colleges and universities returning from the 1963 session. Loyola also regularly sponsors a European tour during the summer. The building program neared completion with the approach of the spring semester. Finished in early autumn were the air-conditioning plant and the new men ' s dormitory. The Student Center was finished in early spring and students began a new, more glamor- ous way of campus life.
