Administration Just about a year ago. It. I’eter A. brooks, S.J., assumed office as president of Marquette University. Though new in some sense. It. Brooks has known Marquette since he, him- self, attended the University. W hile a student here, he helped to found the Marquette Union and became its first presi- dent. It. Brooks graduated from Marquette in 1921, and joined the Jesuit order the same year. Until he became Marquette’s seventeenth pres- ident, he was provincial of the Missouri prov- ince of the Jesuit order. A friendly smile characterizes Father Brooks’ gracious manner. The ease and erect- ness of his appearance, and the dignity of his habit distinguish his position, and yet he has a friendly word for every student. Ilis office is in the Administration building. One of the major efforts to which Father Brooks has devoted himself, is to “keep alive an interest in and an attention toward the line ideals of a classical education. He believes that through the classes which are elevated and illumined by Christianity men and women can learn to appreciate values and principles that are essential for a true civilization. Father Brooks has emphasized the spirit of Marquette which is pointed toward man’s perfection and through this perfection is di dected toward Cod. He has taught that Christ like ideals build for truth, and that truth biulds for perfect happiness. During his first year as president of Mar- quette, Father Brooks has made himself a friend of the students. He has tried to under- stand their problem, and to meet the difficul ties that confront a university in wartime. Thus through the guidance of its president. Marquette University attempts to be fertile ground and produce men and women who are instilled with Christian educational principles. This he has attempted to do through per- sonal contact with the students. As a result, he can frequently be seen around the campus get- ting a clear insight into life at the University. Marquette University has recognized the loyalty and service which Fr. Brooks has ren- dered it. both as a student and as an alumnus, by naming the men's dormitory. Brooks Hall, after him. And now as president, Fr. Brooks, as his sixteen predecessors, centers his activity and life on Marquette University. Pace 27
