0 42 IGNA TIAN The addition of Colleges of Law and Engineering met with instant approval, for the worth of Jesuit literary and philosophical training has been universally recognized, and all felt that the new departments would be as successful as the old. A glance at the faculty of the College of Law justifies the most roseate expectations of future success. Indeed, if the professors instil into the students the principles COLLEGE and knowledge wherewith they builded for them- OF LAW- selves such successful careers, it will not be long ere St. Ignatius Law Department will become famous. The selection of the I-Ion. Matt. I. Sul- livan as Dean was a happy one, for in his years of prac- tice he has set a mark toward which rising lawyers could well direct their course. We need only enumerate the fac- ulty members to prove that all augurs well for future pros- perity. Such men as George A. Connolly, john O'Gara, John J. O'Toole, Joseph Farry and Joseph W. Beretta are well known. These are the Professors of Law. We shall name but a few of the special Lecturers: judge james V. Coffey, Judge Jeremiah F. Sullivan and Judge john M. Bur- nett. Their names alone would prove that our boast, if one would call it such, is not an empty one. Nor is this the mere word of one vitally interested in the new University, but it is the substance of the approbation with which the bench and bar greeted the announcement of the personnel of the faculty. The University is indeed to be congratulated on obtaining the services of such efficient professors. That the public quickly recognized the worth of the new department was evidenced by the opening registration of half a hundred students. VVriting this we have in mind several other Law Colleges, which, opening a few years ago with less than twenty students, now point to an enrollment of over five hundred. May like success attend the College of Law of the University of St. Ignatius! K

BUTLER Assistant Business Managers ifhitnrial The fifty-third annual commencement exercises of St. Ignatius College will be long remembered by its alumni, students and friends, for it was then that THE NEW our energetic president, Father Albert F. UNIVERSITY. Trivelli, S. I., announced the plan upon which he and the Faculty had been laboring long and fruitfully. It was a simple announcement but one fraught with meaning. It was not merely the nominal chang- ing of St. Ignatius College to The University of St. Ignatius. It was the fruition of the ardent desire and fervent, though seldom expressed, hope that there would one day rise in the city of San Francisco a great Catholic University. The an- nouncement of Father President on June twenty-fourth, nine- teen hundred and twelve, opened the avenue to the fullillment of those hopes and marked in a special manner the epoch of the new and greater San Francisco.

EDITORIAL 43 Every whit as efficient is the' faculty of the Engineering College. The dean, M. M. O'Shaughnessy, B. E., Royal University of Dublin, is a peer in his pro- COLLEGE OF fession, and his recent appointment to the ENGINEERING- position of City Engineer marks him as one especially equipped to direct the mon- ster engineering projects with which our city is now con- cerned. Nor can we pass over in silence the names of Alfred R. Cleary, Professor of Civil Engineeringg Cyril Williams, Jr., Edgar O. McCann and John E. Pope, Lecturers on Civil Engineering, and William E. McCann, Professor of Draft- ing and Graphics. This course, like the law course, is in full swing and is also showing signs of steady growth. Although the establishment of a full course in medicine was deemed inexpedient at the present, the perfecting of our pre-medical course is a step in that PRE-MEDICAL direction. The prospective students of DEPARTMENT- medicine will receive a thorough knowl- edge of the fundamentals of their future major studies, for the faculty in this course is as efficient as can be found in any university. The selection of Dr. Milton B. Lennon, M. D., as director, leaves nothing to be desired, and Dr. Lennon is ably assisted by Professor Otto Zajicek, M. D., late instructor in the University of Vienna, and Dr. Rafael G. Duflicy, M. D., who will serve as instructor in this course. Our pride in our university, therefore, is not without foundation, and we sincerely pray the Giver of all good gifts, that the future will prove our hopes are not in vain.
