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

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 magazine. Law students al-o contribute articles and hook reviews to the publication. The 1944 issues of the Lotv Review were edited by the first woman editor, Merriem Luck. Affiliated with the Law school are Sigma Xu I ’hi and Delta Theta Phi. national legal fraternities. Here, the law of (lod as well as the law of the land is observed and respected. SPEECH The plant grew more when in 1910 Mar- quette I’niversitv and the Wisconsin Conserv- atory of Music united to establish the Depart- ment of Music of Marquette I’niversitv. The department operated on the principle that dramatic art is particularly important to stu- dents in the vocal department. Thus elocution was added to voice culture to accomplish satis- factory results in training the singing voice. Out of these courses, the present School of Speech evolved, for in 1926 the College of Music was dissolved and only the speech courses remained. Now in its eighteenth year, the School of Speech centers classroom discussion around current problems. This year postwar recon- struction was the main topic. The curriculum has grown since 1926. Today all those courses taught when the School of Speech was affiliated with the Col- lege of Music are included in the course of study such as vocal expression, pantomime, interpretive reading, dramatic art. public speaking and voice culture. In later years con- structive courses in debate, speech correction and radio speaking have been added. Enrollment consists predominately of wom- en students. These coeds have banded to- gether under the direction of Miss Ruth Klein, associate teacher of speech, to keep all speech alumni and former students in the service in- formed of current activities in the School of Speech. This is done by means of a quarterly publication. prominent part of the School of Speech is the speech clinic, which is one of the fore- most of its kind in the midwest, conducted by Prof. W illiam U. Duffy. Students interested in this type of work aid Professor Duffy in the clinic to gain practical experience. Mthough primarily for speech students, the Marquette Players is open to students in all colleges and school in the I'niversitv. This group presents a play at each of its bi-monthly meetings. Miss Ruth Klein directs the organi- zation. Since the start of the war. Delta Sigma Kho and Theta Kho. debate fraternities, have be- come inactive, as have the Women's Program Bureau and the Speech Association. Omega I'psilon, national honorary speech sorority, is still active. Page 21
