School of ,Qzfw Lmus LILLY, S. J. Regent INUS A. LILLY, S. LI., the new Regent of the Institute of Law, at the beginning of the 1924- session. One of the foremost legal educators in the country, he has already demonstrated his ability by several movements that will certainly con- tribute toward the permanent advancement of the Law School. Although Father Lilly assumed his present duties last fall he is no stranger to St. Louis University. Ht- has been connected with the School in many ways since 1905. His studies in philosophy and theology were made there. Later he became 'a teacher in the Undergraduate School for three years, during which time he was in charge of the Philalethic Society, the l'l1l'Ill' dv Lis, and the Students, Library. In 1916 he received his LL. NI. from Georgetown University, and then pursued his legal studies further in the College of Canon Law at Rome. ln 192-1 he was called to his present post as the successor of Charles H. Cloud, S. J. ln addition to the oflice of Regent, he is Professor of Canon Law in the Divinity School and of Constitutional Law in the lnstitute of Law. Father Lilly is pre-eminently qualified for his present duties. He has been a deep student of law all his life. Even before he entered the Jesuit Order he had been admitted to the lVIissouri Bar. His post-graduate work at Georgetown University, where he specialized in lnternational Law, and his researches in the Apostolic Chan- cery Oflices and Archives at Rome, have given him a thoroughness of training which was recognized when he was signally honored by his elevation to membership in the American Society of lnternational Law in 1917.

Eberle entered the St. Louis University High School, was graduated there in 1905, entered the College of Arts and Sciences, and received his A. B. degree in 1909. After completing his college course he immediately entered the St. Louis University Law School, from which he was graduated in 1912, receiv- ing the degree of LL. B. Thus Dean Eberle is essentially and entirely a St. Louis University man. While in college he was active in all student activities, particularly in the Philalethic Debating Society, and in the management of the Fleur de Lis , scarcely an issue of which appeared without some contribution from his pen. Though a leader in his class work, he was also ia leader in athletics, featuring especially in track and baseball. After graduating, lVIr. Eberle engaged in the practice of law here in St. Louis, but during most of that time he was on the Law School faculty. In 1918 he was appointed Secretary of the Law School, and became a full-time instructor, in which capacity he continued until June, 1922, when he was made Dean. Under his regime there came first the erection of the splendid new Law Building, and at the same time the raising of the entrance requirements, which was followed by a general tightening up of the entire curriculum. Dean Eberle has been eminently successful, and under his direction the Law School' of St. Louis University has attained national importance. Page 6

Sflzool 0 f Jlfedzkzhe HANA U VV. Loran Dean. ANAU W. LOEB, the lion of the lVIedical School, came to the University from the old Marion-Sirius College, where he filled the post of Secretary, and was made Dean. Perhaps it would be more truthful to say that he made the Uni- versity malce him Dean, for he has had a hand in every important development of the University for twenty years and has been the central figure in the entire development of the llfledical School. VVhenever a need arises Dr. Loch looks into it, and after an unfailing diagnosis, a solution is invariably found. The reason of such success is that his devotion to St. Louis University amounts almost to a passion. He sees the needs and faults of which everyone is fully conscious, but they irritate the Dean, for he wants his love to be perfect. Besides being interested in some dozen other enterprises, Dr, Loeb has his office, is editor of a scientific publication, National Secretary of the Board of Examiners in Otolaryngology, Colonel of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps and Commanding Officer in Hospital 53, all of which just make him a better Dean of the St. Louis University School of llledicine.
