College 0 f Qffffj' SAMUEL H. Homxis, SJ. Clmncellol' H REE years ago, Samuel H. Horine, S. J., Chancellor of the University and Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, came to us from Campion College, and to his untiring efforts is it due that we have seen the steady growth and advance- ment of the College. When he took his Philosophy at St. Louis University in 1903, there was no Medical, Dental, Law, or Commerce School. Since then the University has enjoyed a gradual growth, which the tireless energy of Fr. Horine is fostering in the College. Plans have been made to develop further the departments of His- tory, Political and Social Sciences, Public Speaking, English and Mathematics by the addition of courses, and by an increase in the teaching staff. The Dean is very much pleased at the high percentage of returning students-indicative as it is of the vigor and life of the College which he so ably manages. His plans continue to carry on the advancement of the school, for they are grounded on ,a staunch principle: lf we turn out only a handful of men, well grounded in the right principles of conduct, we have done a tremendous good to society.

The new president needed no introductiong he was chaplain of St. NIary's Infirmary and St. john's Hos- pital, a position which gained for him a wide acquaintanceg he was Regent of the Medical and Dental Schools during almost a decade, acted as Regent of the Law School, and as Professor of Philosophy in the College of Arts and Sciences-all of which enabled him to bring to his post a comprehensive knowledge of the workings and needs of practically every department of the University. Fr. Cloud, who belongs to the younger group among the heads of great uni- versitiespwas born in Cincinnati in 1879. He received his A. B. from St. Xavier's College in 1897, and in that year joined the Society of Jesus, entering the novitiate at Florissant, Missotrri. He took his lMl2lStC1',S degree, his philosophy and theology at St. Louis University. After his ordination in 191-l he started for Rome to pursue some specialized studies, but the outbreak of the war before he left the United States caused his return to St. Louis. The new leader intends to push to completion many of the plans for institutional expansion which were begun during the progressive ad- ministration of his predecessor. Page 0
