Berens, S.J.. regent of the Medical school. With the addition of the Medical school to Marquette University, the seedling was fur ther nourished, and it grew. ENGINEERING “Nuts, bolts, screws, gears ’ has emanated from the Marquette College of Engineering since it was established in September. 1906. Classes were then held in the basement of Johnston Hall. Since that time, the college has grown in both enrollment and prestige, and has sent its graduates to all parts of the world. Now, one of the busiest schools on the cam- pus. it has added many new courses and new equipment during the last year to keep up with wartime demands. s a result, the school has Continued to be one of the outstanding engi- neering schools in the nation. Under the accelerated program inaugurated last year, students are now' able to complete their training within three years. The former live-year cooperative program, which was be- gun in 1919. has been suspended until after the war. In his first year as dean, W illiam D. Illiss has aided the school by combining his mans years of practical engineering experience with his years of teaching experience. Fr. Joseph F. Carroll. S.J., is regent of the college. The College of Engineering trains many -12 and NROTC students. Both naval and civilian students are eligible for membership in student organizations. Active chapters of Tau Beta Pi, national honorary engineering fraternity. Eta Kappa Xu. national honorary electrical engineering fraternity. Pi Tau Sig- ma. honorary mechanical engineering frater- nity. Sigma Phi Delta and Triangle, national professional engineering fraternities, are es- tablished at Marquette. There are also four professional engineer- ing societies in the college, the American In Pagb l‘

their appreciation for the work lu had done during his 31 years b as dean of the Dental school. Faculty mem Ihts also presented ihe I )ental school with a. portrait of Dean Emeritus Manzhaf. Omicron Kappa I psilon, a chapter of the national dental honor society, and chapters of I’si Ome- ga, I elta Sigma I el ta and Alpha Omega, national dental frater- nities are also affiliated with the school. The naval program of training dentists still is in progress at the Dental school. Upon com- pletion of the course, naval trainees are com- missioned. However, the Ami) Specialized Training Program was organized in the school until November, when the ASTI dental stu- dents were returned to a civilian status and enabled to continue their dental study and training as such. Yet, though emphasis is now on needs of the armed forces, the School of Dentistry aims to advance Christian idealism, thus further nurturing the seed that was (lesu and the seed ling that was St. Aloysius Academy. MEDICINE Mso in the Marquette School of Medicine the army and navy needs have prevailed, so that the training of doctors for the services has now become the principle task of the school. The vast facilities of the school were turned over to the army and navy at the be- ginning of the war. and the school has con- tinued to graduate doctors in the same high tradition it has had since its foundation 32 years ago. The school, as an individual unit of the Uni- versity. resulted from the combination of the Milwaukee Medical College and the Wiscon- sin College of Physicians and Surgeons. This merger was made in 1903. The school is locat ed in the Harriet L. Cramer Memorial build- ing on North Fifteenth Street. One of the lirst schools on the campus to adopt the trimester program at the beginning of the war, the Medical school has accelerated its work so that the courses leading to gradua- tion can now be completed in three years. The one year of internship, a previous requirement for graduation, has been dropped for the dura- tion. Medical students gain practical experience by working in the Student health clinic. This clinic, located in the Medical school building, provides health care for all students at the I niversity. Medical students also work in the hearing clinic which opened this year in con- junction with the health clinic. The hearing clinic is open to the public as well as to stu- dents. Besides training doctors for the armed service, the Medical school has contributed to the war effort by releasing 43 of its faculty members for service. Those doctors still teach- ing at the University are engaged in medical research vital to the health of the nation. Special research in cancer and poliomyelitis has gained nation wide attention.

stitute of Chemical Engineers, the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, the Ameri- can Society of Mechanical Engineers and the American Society of Civil Engineers. The Engineering Knights, membership in which is based upon participation in extra- curricular activities and on high scholarship, has been inactive since the war. The group was organized to honor St. Patrick, patron saint of engineers. The engineers also publish a quarterly mag- azine. The Marquette Engineer, which contains articles written by students and faculty members. These articles are aimed at enlightening student engineers with the latest developments in their scientific field. A branch of the all-l'niversity sodality, the Engineering sodality, continues to advance Christian thought on the Engineering campus. And so the seedling. Marquette University, added a leaf. LAW Another leaf of the plant unfolded when the Marquette University School of Law was established 37 years ago. Founded with the aim to train men and women in the principles of the lawyer’s profession, the Law school has continued to fulfill this purpose. Thus, it has given students opportunities to become out- standing leaders in their field. Under the guidance of Francis X. Swictlik. who has been (lean of the Law School for 12 - years, the students follow a program which will equip them with the necessary require- ments to enter the legal profession. Fr. Joseph Ornishy, S.J., was regent until his death in November, 1944. ctual controversies are dis- cussed and compared to selected cases by the students to gain a practical knowledge of the legal principles. When juniors, the students are divided into groups composed of law firms, in which the members are assigned cases throughout the year. Moot court trials enable the students to prosecute or defend the cases according to the standards of the profession. A faculty member presides over the sessions as judge. The Marquette University Criminal Law Institute is open to sophomores and juniors. This institute fosters studies in Special prob- lems of criminal law and criminal law admin- istration. Aside from the practical phase of law. there is the regular classroom procedure and the at- tendance of court sessions. The (Jrimmelsman Memorial Library, located on the third floor of the I.aw school, is the source from which pros- pective lawyers draw their background mate- rial of law technicalities. The Lav.' Review, is the publication put out twice a year by the law students. They select two or three of the most interesting cases which appeared in the courts throughout the country, and the decisions of the cases are studied and analyzed and then written up for Face 20
