THF RLV. EDWIN KAISER, Chairman fzwam ML phaviwpm, mm Haul get nwz. fnllaqa If Ever conscious of the materialistic trend in the world of our day, St. Joseph's has endeavored to inculcate in its future leaders the fundamental principles of human living through religion and phil- osophy. She knows that social unrest, wars, and discord exemplify the precarious and chaotic state of the world of today. She also realizes that only through religion and philosophy can the turbulent waves of unrest be pacified. Here at St. Joseph's, religion and philosophy have played an im- portant role in the student's life. They have moulded his thoughts in the classroom, guided his activities on the campus, and adequate- ly prepared him for the vocation he has selected in life. The stu- dent at St. Joseph's has been constantly exposed to Truth. To him, the worth of religion and philosophy has never been underestimated. He has learned to appreciate the two factors that countribute to a fullness of life. In them he has come to know the principles that underlie all correct thinking. The Rev. Edwin Kaiser received his degree, Doctorate of Sacred Theology, from St. John Lateran Papal Institute in Rome. Since his re- turn from Rome, Father Kaiser has taught at St. Charles Seminary except for two years, 1938-'40, when he was director of sacred eloquence at the Pljecious Blood Mission House, Charlottesville, Vllfginia. He assumed the chairmanship of the Fellgion and philosophy department at St. J oseph's ln the fall of 1944. A Ever a proponent of sound scholastic philosophy and Catholic doctrine, Fr. Kaiser has kept a steady fl0W of articles directed toward such periodicals as the Ecclesiastical Review, Homiletic Monthly, America, and many others. i Page thirteen

,7ha.'7ZatwzaL5a1enccA, co 5 aayfaagiruwry Though noted chiefly as a college of liberal arts, St. Joseph's Division of Natural Science plays a much more significant role than that merely of a complement to the ordinary arts curriculum. Resigned to the fact that the events of today are indicative of a highly scientific and technical future, St. Joseph's is ready to help its men inter- ested in the field of science acquire a solid, well-developed background in the fundamentals of engineering and medicine. The college is provided with the necessary facilities to enable a man to complete a major in mathe- matics, physics, biology, geology, and chemistry. Though it may never be noted for startling discoveries in the realm of scientific research, St. Joseph's and other schools of its type nevertheless wield today an all-powerful grip on the valve of the dam which retains tomorroW's masters of medicine, engineering, chemistry, and physics. As an experienced staff feels that those under it are prepared for graduate study at the universities, the valve is open for these potentialities to be dis- seminated. The Division of Natural Science, working on the sound logic that the fundamentals must be grasped completely before the complex should even be attempted, sets a high standard for the men under it to fulfill. It is because of this high standard that today's St. Joe men are being so thor- oughly prepared to take their place in the sun tomorrow. l THE REV. ALFRED J. ZANOLAR, Chairman Capably guiding the destinies of the Division of Natural Science, popular, perspicacious Rever- end Alfred J . Zanolar has been a member of the St. Joe faculty since 1936. Additional to his teach- ing duties, he has served as assistant to the reg- istrar. He is a rabid hunter, as everyone here in Col- I legeville will attest when they see him and Father F. Fehrenbacher, and any student that wants to go along, set out for the woods on a crisp, fall day. Page fifteen
