Foreword In previous years the burden of the Year Book has rested upon the shoulders of the vluniors. XYhen we were advised that they had decided to forego the responsibility, owing to the small size of their class, we felt discouraged. Relieving, however, that all things are possible where the right spirit is displayed, we set to work, and with the co-opera- tion of the faculty and the University, have, to a certain degree, realized the object of our desires. There is a moment of anxiety which succeeds prolonged eiifort. lVhen the labor which has become a fixed habit has ceased we miss the sustain- ing influence .of its companionship, and stand with a feeling of embarrassmentibefore the result of our ambition. XVe wish to thank those who have helped to make this work a success: the officers of 'the University, the faculty, and, lastly, the members of the class of '17, who as a body assisted us in every possible way. NVQ ohfcr this book for your approval. TH 15 EDITORS. l0

Historical St. Ignatius College was chartered by the Illinois State Legislature in 1869. In 1909 the college had developed to a point where the addition of new departments seemed advisable and Loyola University was accordingly incorporated. A large tract of ground was purchased at Loyola Ave. and Lake Michigan and buildings erected for the School of Science and the Cudahy School of Engineering. Schools of Law, So- ciology and Pharmacy were established in rapid succession While an afliliation was formed by which the Illinois Medical College became the Medical Department of Loyola University. In 1910 the Illinois, the Bennett and Reliance Medical Col- leges merged to form the Bennett Medical College, the affilia- tion continuing until 1915 when the Bennett Medical College passed under the complete control of the trustees and became the Loyola University School of Medicine. 9
