 Through the portals of the Law building have passed graduates who attained eminence as barristers and esteem as good citizens. Within the stately building, its architecture of collegiate Gothic of the Tudor period, Francis X. Swietlik, dean, lectures in one of the classrooms on constitutional law; in another class, a professor gives first year students an introduction to law; in yet another, an instructor lectures a more advanced class on quasi contracts. Francis X. Swic-tlik. Dean Rev. FJwarJ A. McGrath, S.J., Regent In the moot court room on the second floor, simulated cases are tried with professional realism. Throughout the courtroom, as throughout the school, one is aware of the judicious blending of the practical with the academic. The student studies, so that he too may tread the path of his predecessors, but there is much to learn. After acquiring the technique of academic and practical law. becoming imbued with a proper appreciation of his social responsibilities, and recognizing the strict necessity of a scrupulous observance of the ethics of law, he will receive the coveted “sheepskin,'' to keep before him those true Christian principles which should govern the every activity of man.

The school day begins after 7 p.m. for those who find the only schedule open for them is on the night school agenda. The first two years of study, concerned with general backgrounds of business, seem far from the particular business world itself. But as the semesters of study melt one into the other, the chain of learning links together, combining both liberal and technical knowledge. To juniors and seniors specialized courses such as advertising, banking and finance, transportation, or commercial teaching provide interesting curriculum. Executives of the business college. Dr. Stewart Scrimshaw, associate dean, and Dr. Robert J. Barr, director of the evening school along with Dean of the College, Fr. Thomas F. Divine, S.J., keep the schedule running smoothly despite overloaded enrollment. Rev. Thomas F Divine, S.J. Dean Dr. Stewart Scrimshaw, Associate Dean
