THE 1935 HILLTOP Administration Another year has been added to the I fetime of Marquette University. Another year that has been filled with the achievements of intelligent leadership in the field of higher education. There can be no doubt that the progress made by the University this year was but a repetition of the successful period that preceded it. Credit for this industrious advancement in culture and learning, especially in recent years, is directly traceable to the Rev. William M. Magee. S. J.. president of the University, and the able bodied group of men comprising the Board of Governors, which directs the business management of the institution. Assisting in the administration arc also two other groups: The Board of Trustees, and the Board of Advisers consisting of twenty representative citizens, who act in an advisory capacity both to the Governors and the Trustees, and assist in university projects. Scholastically, the University has been rated by the American Association of Universities an institution of complex organization—an honor that includes international recognition of the degrees conferred, and one enjoyed by only two other Catholic institutions in the United States. Entering upon his eighth year in the presidency, Father Magee has continued to demonstrate his ability as a leader of men and women, and a true proponent of Christian ideals and education. This signal recognition of Father Magee's service to the University, has been substantiated by the duration of his term as president. Throughout his tenure of office, the longest of any of Marquette's presidents, he has urged the students constantly to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the school for the development of their faculties, and has warned them against acquiring a false conception of liberty. In his welcoming address, given at the annual student convocation, the President stated that the finest and most necessary contribution the University can make to society, is to provide it with an objectively sound and intelligible philosophy of life—a philosophy of life which tells man why he is here on earth, what are his loyalties, his responsibilities, what he is expected to do and what he must not do with his gifts of mind and heart and body. Combined with this perception of life and education is a lively interest in student activities, stressing especially the athletic development of the individual. Under his competent direction Marquette has grown and prospered. His interest in students is unchallenged. His name has literally been grafted into the spirit of the University. Moreover, aided by the cooperation of the deans of the University's schools and colleges. Father Magee has encouraged the recent development in the American and Jesuit systems of collegiate education. Realizing the difficulty students encounter in continuing their college careers in times when financial conditions arc trying, the University, through the efforts of the president, again secured at the beginning of the second semester the aid of the Industrial Commission of Wisconsin in financing student loans to help defray tuition fees and maintenance.
