 The school year 1946-1947 has been a hectic one for Marquette’s president, Father Peter A. Brooks, S.J., as well as the Board of Governors and executive officers. This year saw the enrollment of over 7,000 students, a quota far above any previous enrollment at the University. This year saw the re-establishment of the Naval ROTC on a peacetime basis, and the disappearance of most of the uniforms which had been a part of the campus scenery for so long. This year, too, saw the return of most of the schools and colleges on the campus to a regular two semester a year routine. And this was the year the College of Business Administration originated a regular freshman program in its evening schedule for those who could not be accommodated in the day classes. Father Brooks, being a Marquette graduate, has shown personal concern in the welfare of the school, and in guiding and caring for the intellectual, spiritual and physical welfare of the student body. The Board of Governors and the executive officers of Marquette, too, have done their part to maintain the University’s place among leading Catholic educational institutions m the nation. This year of 1946-1947 has indeed been a hectic one for all Marquette officials, but they have fulfilled all of their obligations in an admirable fashion. They well deserve praise for their work.
