avL Dducahid. man. ST. JOSEPH’S CULTIVATES THE INTELLECT OF MAN Realizing that a man needs not only the essentials for proper performance of his religious duties, but also secular knowledge for his future career in life, St. Joseph’s full- fills the age-old conception of the purpose of a college— to instruct men in the arts and sciences. A whole man requires a balanced education. St. Joseph’s has long been recognized as a leader in the academic field: it ranked in the highest classification of the North Central Association this year. The teacher-student ratio is purposely kept low, so as to provide the best possible attention to the needs of the individual student. Most of the teaching personnel comes from the ranks of the Society of the Precious Blood, whose members donate their time and effort in instruction. These priests are versed in most of the commonly taught college courses, and, supplemented by members of the lay fac¬ ulty, offer instruction in many fields of knowledge from which the student may choose his favorite.

To aid in these transactions and con¬ tacts, man obeys social convention and the norms of social conduct. These norms are learned, not as an academic subject is learned—through books—but through practice and proper use of opportunities for contact with others. To cultivate these in the student, St. Joseph’s fosters and encourages participation in clubs, organizations, and activities held on campus either under administration or student aus¬ pices. Toward this goal, also, the college gives enthusiastic backing to student efforts in the social field to help the undergraduate in broadening his social and cultural abil¬ ities. . . .
