HEAD OF THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT, the Rev. Robert Boyle, S.J., has insisted upon rigid aca- demic standards. MR. PETER A. ROTAR, Assistant Professor of Busi- ness Administration, acquired his Master ' s degree from the Harvard School of Business. A FACULTY MEMBER of 32 years, the Rev. Bernard J. Murray, is the spiritual director of Carroll Hall. FACULTY MR. GLEN O. STOCKING, the Director of the Department of Education, comes to Regis from the University of Denver. J sk any Regis student why he picked this college. First, he might speak of a friend who directed him to Regis, or a father or brother who attended school here, or perhaps the natural setting and agreeable climate of Denver. But then, he will pause, reflect, and add, And of course I wanted a Jesuit education. What is it about the Jesuits that evokes this re- sponse? It is true that the Jesuits have had over 400 years of experience in educating young men. They are in charge of some 28 colleges and universities in the United States alone, which means that there are some 120,000 students sitting in Jesuit classrooms across the country.

Thomas Finucane, S.J., instructs Regis underclassmen in the science of accounting. A MEMBER OF THE Department of Philosophy, the Rev. Francis Malacelc, S.J., teaches courses in metaphysics and ethics.
