S f S i X 7 W M BSESSED by the microscopefmind, our dizzy decades of this twentif E 'I eth century-afraid to think, afraid to touch rock bottom-have it ,ff unceremoniously relegated the metaphysical with its principles of deduction to some mustied, yellowed tome far up on the shelf of man's knowledge. With ignorant arrogance they have attempted to build With, out design or purpose, Without plan or foundation, With arrogant ignorance they have dismissed the fundamental principle of causality, so that they have institutions Without ends, undertakings Without understanding. Industry has become a senseless process of standardizing men, nothing more. This because the metaphysical order has been obscured by the dollar sign, by Science, by those things which are, in very definition, beneath the metaphysical. Considering this university then from the view of one seeking its metaphysical causes, it must be in disharmony with the jazzed saxophones of the modern madhouse, strangely in tune With the immortal melody which keeps this World at pitch When its madness is maddest. V V The university displays an interplay of causes, the material cause shaped by the efficient cause producing the formal cause to the end of the final cause. Each cause is important, each merits attention as an essential to the Whole, for if-as is the case in a plethera of the citadels termed colleges-a single cause be not adverted to, the result is trackless education, v4v education awry. Their interplay is subtle like the blending of colored beams of light, and if a single one be off focus, the Whole suffers. There is first, the material cause-that of Which a thing is made-in the university, the student. Modern interpretation has confused material and mass. The student is no longer an integer in the process of education, he is a number in a registrar's recordfbook used to determine the profit in the business of selling education. Such is the modern perversion, it is hardly the correct translation. As great sculpture is the realization of the potency in the stone from which it is carved, not the arbitrary imposif tion of a desired form upon any nearby rock, so great education, real education is the realization of the possibilities in each student it touches. It is the student Who matters. V Upon him Work the efficient causes in the university-faculty, administration, extrafcurricular organizations, athletic teams. These are not techniques to be applied by diagram and chart, they are dynamic con- cretions of the spirits in men. There has been no inadvertence to this, the efficient cause, that by which a thing is made. Only the characteristic chaos in actualization. Magnificent stadiums, gigantic gymnasiums, elaborate buildings-are these, empty of vital contact with the material cause, excellent of themselves but having no real part in the making of men, are these not failures? It is the actual meeting of men, the balance v5v f a 66 N . gf' .1 . g xi F55 Wx Lf, ?

When building and accoutrements separate the material and the shaping powers, when the log which should connect Mark Hopkins and student becomes a barrier, there is no efficient cause. When there is no Mark Hopkins, there is no efficient cause. And there is no education. V For the formal cause-the graduate-has never been touched. Worse, he is no longer the material cause, pliant and flexible, that should have been formed. He has become a dissociated mass of Hcontactsu and facts, a man trained to be a misfit. No college was ever begun for the production of a winning team, no college should ever be begun as a haven for men seeking seclusion -from life. The university is made to train men, the graduate is her primary object. Her every organization, her every teacher, her every detail of administration must make for the construction of that end product, that product who is not a Grand Rapids chair to be turned out in quantities at high speed, a duplicate of every other man awarded a degree. He is the formal cause shaped to the pattern and made for the purpose of the Final Cause-God. For the Ultimate is the end of man, and the end, too, of education. All is good in that it comes from Him Who made all, all can be good in so far as it conforms to His plan. The Final Cause- that for which a thing is made, that which must dominate and direct each lesser cause, that which gives meaning to the whole. Man, the egoist, would ever like to hurl defiance to his God, to shout, This is mine, this meant for me. The very shouting drains the object of its meaning. Forget the Final Cause, shape education by some other pattern, for some other purpose? As soon order the orbits of the stars to your whim. You can ignore God, but you can not remove Him by your ignorance. V And as Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam we give you this Archive, a formal cause in itself. Through its pages we have attempted a refocussing on the causes of this, St. Louis University. The material cause, the efficient cause, the formal cause, and-ever upmost in mind and purpose-the great Final Cause. That for which this University and this annual were made. v6v Ckaf .By Qylzick cz Khilzq is 9 D' ,X one , ff -MW' 5 , UA 1' 'il :-1 xv ' -r '25- g': '-'. 5 .gzff , wx . 1,9 x -z v . v , d L f . 12-iii.

Iohnston, S.I., now serving his sixth year in that capacity. Qbhifmop y of LZ Gcuflzofic Cgdaocofiozz ATHOLIC education begins with beginnings. Because men are its sole railrori ofefre, it begins with an understanding of man, the l understanding contained in the answers to the first two questions in the catechism: God made me fo know HL'm, fo love Him, and fo Jerve Him in fhlir world, and io be happy wlfh Him forever in ihe nexi. Catholic education starts with that sound premise, and the very premise is the premise of its end. Men were not made for Progress or Service, for Science or Dollars. Dual-aspected man was created for God, and it is only when he draws nearer to God that he fulfills his purpose. Material body and spiritual soul are each intended for an asceticism that will lead man back to whence he sprang. To the modern this is meaningless cant 5 to Catholic education it is a main-spring. If one admits this definition he must see secular training for what it plainly is: so much stage scenery, the appear- ance of development without advertance to half the man it wishes to develop. R V If religion, that which gives a meaning to life and its living, be omitted from education it becomes an education of frustration. If God be excluded from instruction there results only a meaningless fragment of the world torn from its context. Religion and God-if College ignores them it becomes an ornamental facade devoted to training men to be useless, in v10v the manner termed intellectual. Education that is not incomplete must form the whole man, body and soul, and that to a definite endathe greater possibility of knowledge and love of and service to God. V Those are the two most significant notes of the true Catholic educa- tion, the formation of the whole man and that formation for a purpose not alone of this earth. lVlan's mind, man's imagination, man's emotions must be disciplined and brought into a single balanced whole, such is the very essence of the whole man. He must be able to live fully, co-operatively, he must be able to think clearly, constructively, he must be able to feel deeply, appropriately. True Catholic education is not a distillation of data, not a piece-work machine, it is a process of molding and forming, the blending of parts into an integrated whole. That shaping and blending must have a directive purpose, for purposeless education is merry-go-round- like. But the formation, though subsidiary, is no less important, men go to College for knowledge and for special training, but the knowledge is valueless if a man be not able to apply it, the training useless it there be no capacity for application. Catholic education, that is true education, is the meeting of men and minds, the clash and interchange of thought. Realizing that it must transcend the printed word of books, it goes to the association that produces living men instead of stagnating pedants. Realizing its purpose, it metamorphoses the student into one able to live in this world- and in the next. It inculcates knowledge and philosophy, the ability to View that knowledge in perspective and relationship. So it is that Catholic education draws its philosophy from the Church that gives it its name 5 so it is that Catholic education begins with begin- nings, works for the sole end of man worth working for, uses the only efficacious means at her command for the training to that end. Such is the philosophy of a Catholic education, the ends that motivate it. v THE SUPREME TRIBUNAL . . . in all discussions and problems concerning administrative policies of the Schools of the University is the Board of Deans and Regents, which convenes monthly.

Believing that a foundation on true principles must be laid before the structure of professional or technical skill can be builded, the University seeks to' impart to its students a sound and valid concept of the meaning of life, a true evaluation of the student's potentialities for good, of his possibilities in later life. To achieve such an objective, St. Louis University musters every facility at its command. Personnel, equipment, activities, organization, curricula, all are organized to minister to the students' needs. Witli this one common end in view are united all the apparently heterogeneous and autonomous units of St. Louis University. V At the head of the University is the President who holds in his hands the guiding power. He is assisted in determining general policies by the University Council of Deans and Regents, the foremost advisory board of the University. At the head of each school is a dean who has charge of all affairs pertaining specifically to his particular school. The centers of University activity are the Graduate School which trains its students for special fields of endeavor, and the College of Arts and Sciences which also serves as a preparatory school for those who desire to enter one of the professional schools. The School of Commerce and Finance attempts to train capable business leaders g the School of Education competent teachers, the School of Social Service good social workers, the School of Law learned lawyers, the School of Medicine expert doctors, the School of Dentistry competent dentists 1 the School of Nursing seeks to graduate well-trained nurses, the School of Philosophy and Science and that of Divinity completely educated ministers of Christ-but all hold this objective supreme: that they graduate men and women who will be a credit to themselves and their school, that they become living embodiments of the principles of 'Catholic education, that they. become more like to the image of their Creator. Such is the final end of a Catholic university, such is its razlron cfeire. v15v REV THURBER M SMITH, SJ., Dum 0 ffzr School nf Grarluafe Sfudlem Q f'. fi' A Sckoof of raguczfe Sfugiw if , ,px ' k H , f,-Wg... fx 11 , Vw I. f .5 3 AROUND THE WORLD correlate re in the Geo- p xsics office ocated ' G acluate Sc ool. the o l of the geopl 5 .

W ,r is , T UNIVERSITY is an organism in which various schools, faculties and disciplines co-operate, or should co-operate, in the production of the scholar-one who will take his place in the long line of torch-bearers who have passed from generation to generation the ever-brightening flame of Christian civilization and culture. It should never be forgotten that the center around which educational activities revolve is the student. There is danger at times, in the ever-growing complication of modern educa- tional methods and techniques, that this may be overlooked, that means may be mistaken for ends 5 that attention may be centered on the process itself so as to obscure its objective -the production of scholars. Knowledge, after all, is transmitted only from mind to mind, and knowledge advances only as those who know increase and mature. The development of scholars must, of course, take place by stages. The preserva- tion of the past, the transmission of accumulated treasures of man's intellectual achieve- ments in an ordered synthesis is a function shared by all the schools of the University and is perhaps emphasized more particularly by the undergraduate schools. The Gradu- ate School claims as its peculiar prerogative the creation of the future, the gradual pushing back of the frontiers of ignorance by the research and experiment of trained specialists. V These ideals are interdependent, but their coordination in practice requires vision and mutual respect on the part of students and teachers in all the schools of the University. The role of the graduate school in any university is as important as it is unobtrusive. It furnishes no candidates for the football team 5 none of its students are prominent in the social activities of the University. Nevertheless, the Graduate School is the center about which the intellectual life of the University revolves. It sets the norm for the undergraduate students who aspire to higher education, it extends the frontiers of knowl- edge, ever seeking farther horizons. The role of the Graduate School, then, is that of a highly specialized expert. It caters only to students who give promise of achievement vl5v WB 65 1 , . , T H it if rf Q - f N i f ft ' , 0 i '1 we-vf ma... 1 , v THE DEGREES . . . for which a graduate student works are awarded him at the annual commencement exercises, held in the gym- nasium.

It guides these students, who are presumed to have a wide basis of knowledge, and aids them in projecting some phase of that knowledge into virgin fields. Thus pushing back the frontiers of ignorance, the Graduate School makes accessible to future generations knowledge heretofore unknown. V The Graduate School must build upon the foundation laid in the undergraduate schools. Unless these foundations are laid well, the Graduate School is forced to spend much time on tasks not properly its own. It does not seem extravagant for the Graduate School to expect that the students who come to it should have control at least of the skilled tools which advanced work presupposes 5 that they should have the ability to read and to write their own language reasonably well 5 that they should have such a knowl- edge of other languages as will give them access to the records of intellectual activities of other peoples. Of course, the function of the undergraduate is not merely to prepare for graduate work. Still a training that results in a reasonable skill in the use of scholarly tools, which inspires a respect for facts as well as the ability to synthesize them and to appreciate their relative value is not only the best preparation for graduate work but also is the fulfillment of the undergraduate objective, namely, to produce men and women who are able to bear witness to the hierarchy of true values in life. On the other hand, the Graduate School can help in the development of the undergraduate scholar by bringing him into contact with its standards, points of view and methods, through his contact with graduate students in advanced classes and with faculty members who possess research ideals and an enthusiasm for intellectual exploration. After all, the training of vl6v , ' QR IEYAELECRETS v THE STUDENTS SPIRITUAL ADVICE ...ar srl- .'e , 'Y 1 v -V su- - ' - . Univleisitgcllilvi-'dlI'izIii. Q mb 5 ex. emi H.

For the very objective of Graduate School Studies lies in new fields, along untrodden paths. The Graduate School Student must be a pioneer 3 he must tread new paths, make new discoveries, leave behind him landmarks and guiding posts for those who will follow in his wake. By analogy, Graduate students must have those qualities possessed by pioneers. They must have resourcefulness, for they are on their own, with no one to chart the path of their studies, they must have initiative, for whatever progress they make must come from themselves. There is no one to push them along. V A realization of the value of graduate studies has developed in this country within the last decade. More and more students find time and opportunity and desire to con- tinue their studiesg more and more demand is placed on them. St. Louis University'S Graduate School has developed in intensity and extensiveness of work, adapting itself to meet the new requirements and new demands of the age. I Men and women who have been thus broadened by reasoned general training, matured by learning one subject well and stabilized by an appreciation of standards and values-ethical as well as intellectual-are not likely to drift aimlessly, seeking some answer to their inner restlessness. They can march serenely to the exploration of new and fascinating realms, loyal and constant in their service to the cause of truth and justice. V 17 v KU!!

SPITE all our problems the world marches on and there are future years. It will be a bright future for the youth of today if they are prepared to make it so. But they must prepare-prepare for what the future holds. The world is beginning to realize that there are things of such worth that they cannot be rated in terms of dollars and cents 5 that the word success does not begin and end with aidollar sign, but that it depends upon the usefulness and effectiveness of our lives 5 that through all the ages the educated man has been the effective man. The Greek philosopher Aristotle was probably the greatest exponent in the ancient world of what is signified by the term a liberally educated man. Yet the educational influences which contributed to the development of such an intellect declined, and the life work of the Philosopher was lost sight of through many centuries of Western civiliza- tion. There occurred, however, a re-flowering of the same type of educational influence which proved its value by bringing to maturity the intellect of a St. Thomas, and through him the perfection of the whole scheme of scholastic philosophy. V There is no denying the fact that we need technically trained men, but the recent past has taught us that we cannot hope to carry on even in a mechanized civilization without the thinker, the man who is capable of preventing the maladjustment which the merely technically trained specialist is so likely to create. The lawyer, the doctor, the teacher, the dentist, the banker, the financier, the professional man in any field whatsoever is so much the better lawyer, doctor, teacher, banker and so on, if in addition to his professional training he is an educated man. Surely the future will be brighter if, in the face of our present-day depression- intellectual rather than economic-and in reply to the false prophets of the dissolution of our Western culture, universities can raise up a group of intellectual and courageous vI9v A 3'i gOPHOMORES fbelowD the College of Arts 1 Sciences. young men and women eager to re-assert and strive for the right objectives of civiliza- tion and culture and human effort. Obviously, to effect such an accomplishment, there must be many more liberally educated men. V The man who is truly liberally educated is the effective man, Who, as Cardinal Newman says in his Idea of a Un Zc1ef'.fZ!y, is at home in any society-has a common ground with every class 5-knows when to speak and when to be silent 5-can ask a question pertinently, and gain a lesson seasonablyf' Without a doubt, there is a lack today of men who have that education which teaches them to see things as they are, to go right to the point, to disentangle a skein of thought, to detect what is sophistical, and to discard what is irrelevant. In fine, Newman's idea of a university training must come to be more fully appreciated. We need more men whose education prepares them to fill any post with credit and to master any subject with facility. It is strange that educators have lost sight, to a great extent, of so seemingly elementary a principle. lt is strange that they have believed that almost any type of specialized technical training could form the background for a successful and effective man's life. The future, if it is to be bright, must be dominated more and more by educated men, by thinkers trained in literature and the classics and philosophy, in the social sciences, history and sociology, political science and economics, and all that goes to constitute the liberal culture of an advanced civilization. Perhaps it is too much to hope that the near future will find the great majority of the American youth ambitious for the things of the mind. Yet adversity may have taught mankind that not alone by bread does it live. For the dawn is red with promise of a day wherein we shall see v20v IUNIORS Cabovej AND more clearly and appreciate more fully that life is lived from within and that its abun- dance must How from the depth of the cultured and educated mind. This is the type of man the future just ahead of us is demanding. This is the type of educational preparation which is given in the College of Arts and Sciences at St. Louis University. There is hope that in America the College may regain its place as the center of our universities' intellectual life, there is hope that concomitantly with the College's coming into its birthright a saner and sounder type of leader may be developed. V Educators and professional men the world over are beginning to realize the necessity of a thorough liberal preparation for those who aspire to become good professional men, leaders in their respective fields. Many medical schools and law schools now require a bachelor's degree for entrance. Others have increased their pre-requisite courses to three years. All encourage a foundation as complete as the student's financial position allows. And it is to the interest not only of society, but even of the individual himself, that he be liberally educated. Thereby he learns not only how to earn a living but also how to live. v FRESHNXEN . . in the College of Arts and Sciences.

So rapid are the scientific developments occurring in the basic sciences, that it is dimcult for medical edu- -cation, indeed for medical educators and certainly for medical students, to adjust them- selves to the new discoveries and to their consequent new demands. It is especially dif- ficult for the medical student to keep himself informed of the progress which is being made while he is assimilating the knowledge of the past. V The astounding thing in all of this is that schools of medicine have been able even in this short time to absorb so much of what is happening throughout the world into their curriculum. VVhen a new discovery, a procedure, a drug, a biological product is advanced as probably effective for human welfare by any one of thousands of laboratories in any section of the world, it finds its way sooner or later into a scientific publication. The instructors and teachers in any one of the many fields of medical thought must themselves first of all read and assimilate these announcements, many of them fundamental in char- acter, revolutionary in viewpoint, new in method and often enough subversive of tra- dition. The instructors in turn must study and test, criticize and evaluate 5 often enough they must separate the half truth from the shadow of truth, from the absolute truth, the appearance of truth from its reality. They must content themselves with probabilities g they must know them as such. They must realize when they are no longer probabilities, they must know when these probabilities have become certainties or when they have been rejected as false. All this requires reading, and digesting, and assimilating, and thinking. And still the work of assimilation is not completed. The modern teaching of medicine is not the detailing of knowledge. Modern medicine is best taught through the agency of the current journal which even the elementary student of medicine is encouraged to read, not so much for the information, but rather for the mental power and often for the skill which the newer contributions are naturally more capable of developing. v THE KEY-NOTE OF SCIENCE . . . is research. Here, in a Medical School laboratory, is being developed a photo electric colorimeter, capable of determining differences in the mineral content of water within one part in twenty five million. v 25 v v FRESHMEN ING of the medical faculty board. ffl . y ,X T 1 W Ly y p kg' y , ff? ,q q. gf' xy i b ljx, lk 5 -fy X ,QET 'V X Q Wi grrrq 1 'L-:V n , , Fay, , ,L -f .

And it has changed at the same rate of acceleration as have the discoveries that pertain to medicine. Doctors, in consequence of the progress of the past twenty-five years, now have a deeper insight into the human constitution, into anthropological and etiological factors in disease, into hereditary and environmental influences 5 they have come to understand diagnosis more and more completely. Therapeutics have radically left their old moorings, and have found a new but constantly shifting point of attachment in the treatment of the dis- eased patientf' The influence of physical forces, such as that of light, heat and electricity, has been added to the physician's armatarium. V Medicine, then, is no longer a study apart from others. It is aided by the physical sciences, by the social sciences, by a more complete psychology. In its turn, medicine, by its very progress, has aided the other fields of knowledge. But most important of all, it has succeeded in producing better doctors who are more capable of dealing with their patients, more sure in their methods, less uncertain in their diagnoses, more effective in their treatment. More exacting demands are put on the physician of today than on the one of yester- day. Consequently, the type of student entering medical schools must be a better type than the one of yesterday. More is required of him, he must be prepared to give more. V Formerly the requirement was a spirit of unsparing service, of self-dedication to duty, of physical hardihood and broad sympathy. The physician of today must have v24v . . . in the School of Medicine. THE AMPHI THEATRE in the Desloge Hospital MEET IUNIORS Cabovel AND SOPHOMORES th School of Medicine.

It is amazing that medical schools have been able thus to raise the level of their achievement to keep con- stantly parallel with the rising reservoir of knowledge about man and his suffering. If anything more remarkable can be thought of, it might well be this-that among the youth of today there should be found, through a process of selection constantly more efficient and exacting, enough individuals who are not only capable of living up to the requirements demanded of them, but who, in a world of progressively more acute rivalry and competition, are not only willing but eager to enter a Held of endeavor in which the disparity between the measure of service rendered and the measure of financial return is undoubtedly greater than in any one of the lay professions. i I l s 1 i i Q. if if it l j it Q Q 1'g I 1 i i V The School of Medicine at St. Louis University has adapted itself to all the changes ,il demanded of it by scientihc and medical progress.

The number and scope of courses covered in the catalogs of leading institutions of learning a half century ago were indeed limited as compared with those now presented. Many of the scholastic curricula instituted to satisfy the new trends show a fitness and a capacity for the objectives sought. Of special interest is the growth and progress of those courses commonly grouped under the caption Commerce and Finance - not a prepossessing title, not one to conjure with in the Sibylline temples and rituals, but none the less indicative of a vibrant life which some must minister to, and all must contact, or perish. By combining studies such as Economics, Finance, Marketing, Manage- ment and Accounting, with a supporting complement of those per- taining to the older and more generic type, a solid and durable foundation is laid down for high attainment and an attractive career. V During the entire process of his undergraduate work, the student is given abundant opportunity for the acquisition of definite and practical knowledge. The value of the subjects presented can be easily estimated from the world-wide concern manifested in them today. His regular program calls frequently for the very topics that are uppermost in the discussions of legislatures and governments. His approach to these and similar subjects is not that of the casual or occasional reader. It is definite, formal and analytic. What he studies he should know in theory and practice, in principle and in application. The typical Commerce and Finance student manifests the influ- ence of the serious side of life.

Yet his tasks, though usually weighty, are seldom dull. The young student who aspires to take a worthy place in the held of business, soon realizes, after entering upon a course of training for this objective, that he faces a serious taslc. His high school education has given him only a rather hazy vision, a momentum that is but moderate and a potency that needs con- siderable recharging. He is confronted with a program -in many respects, quite different from that which he has hitherto followed. V It is true that his program is at first rather simple and restricted, covering facts and theories carefully adjusted to his capacity and his equipment. He is enlarged in a ground clearing process. v28v :ix if-Q wx 5 15- ,..-X, xx-1 1 V f ll , sc, V, Y QA..

He is acquainting himself with the mate- rial with which he is to build and with the instruments best suited to his purpose. He gradually comes into the conscious- ness of a vast factual world. During his freshman and sophomore years this funda- mental program is developed and re- viewed and set in more definite form. V It is claimed by those in a position to observe, that this type of education makes an unusually marked impression upon students who reach its upper levels. They are self-reliant, confident, eager to work. They Hnally acquire a consciousness of proximity to human life. The great sea of business touches every shore where man may dwell, Carries argosies, arma- ments, palaces, derelicts.

Here three students in the School of Law consider the many view- points, the many considera- tions cussio of a case under dis- n. ' v 51 v T 0 the young man in school the future may seem rather blurred. As he looks ahead he still sees dark clouds of uncertainty hovering about, and wonders what success he may hope to obtain amid such con- fusion. In all fields of human activity, conditions have so changed that the problems of his generation are bound to be quite different from those of the past. But while the era of change into which he ha.s been plunged presents a picture of uncertainty, it also presents unusual opportunities-particw larly to the young lawyer. REV. LINUS A. LILLY, SJ., c The unsettled order of the present must become settled. Rmnlojmc Scfmaiof La U. lndustry and trade must be revived 5 agriculture must be re- orderedg failing business must be salvagedg new types of or- ganization and new financial methods must be worked out, government must assume additional responsibilities, presenting new problems of taxation and constitutional law, and necessitating an expansion of administrative machinery 5 labor must be given greater recognition and protection. A11 of this will require carefully considered legislation, in- volving new procedures and a refashioning of much of our legal system. Verily, a new frontier stretches out before the young lawyer presenting limitless opportunities, pro- vided he is prepared to take advantage of them. V The future business of the lawyer will become more and more exacting. His problems will not be confined within narrow limits 3 they will be complicated by all the conflicting interests of trade and industry, the varying demands of local, state and federal govern- ments, the terrific struggles between powerful groups, and the hopes of individuals who find themselves becoming more and more dependent. A11 these will present problems that cannot be solved by the simple legal formulae of the past. They will require for their solution lawyers of the highest type and character, lawyers of keen understanding, resourcefulness, courage, tolerance, judgment and above all else lawyers with a high sense of justice. These basic qualities which are predominant in the able lawyer must find their origin in his early training. Character, keenness of mind, a broad general knowledge, v IUNIORS fabovej AND FRESl'llVlEN Cbelowj in the School of La should all be acquired by the student before entering law school. Unless his mind has been logically trained and he has learned to give clear expression to his thoughts, the law school can do little with him, for the study of law requires deep mental concentration and the power of precise expression. Furthermore, the law is a living thing. It controls and regulates the whole social order in all its varied activities. The law student should have a fairly comprehensive knowledge. His college training should not be restricted within too narrow a field, but should rather be spread over a broad base. If he comes to law school with a proper understanding of government, history, sociology, economics and a sound philosophy, he has the basic groundwork that will give meaning to the law. He can then understand its true purposes and functioning. Hence the foolishness of cutting short the pre-professional training and coming to law school without the sus- taining base of a sound philosophy. V In order, then, better to prepare the lawyer of the future to meet these problems, perplexing and manifold problems demanding clear thought and good balance, the Law School of St. Louis University has raised its standards and now requires a greater degree of excellence from its students. Nloreover, believing that lack of a general education on the part of those who enter the School as prospective lawyers will seriously handi- cap them, the Law School now requires three years of pre-legal work on the part of those who intend to enter the School. Thus can be established a broader base of general knowl- edge which can be especially useful to the lawyer. Once the student enters the School of Law new life is put into his purely academic concepts. He begins to see the law in action, not through the mere study of general prin- ciples, but through a careful analysis of decided cases involving concrete examples of how the law actually regulates and deals with every phase of human activity, both public and private. Throughout his course the student is reminded that the law is a progressive social science, with justice as its fundamental purpose. Rules and decisions are critically analyzed with this in mind. While the legal means and rules adopted at any given time for attaining justice represent the general notions of the people at that time as to what is proper and desirable, those means and rules may be ill-suited for society of a later period. The fundamental notions of Christian ethics learned in the Catholic college, and systematically stressed in the Catholic law school, supply enduring principles which have a very direct application throughout the law and give to it a real stability. V VVhile most of the modern legal philosophers deny it, the fact remains that the system of law prevailing at the present time in this country is fundamentally Christian. It is founded on the Common Law of England which had its greatest development during the period from the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries when England was very dehnitely under the influence of Scholasticism. Furthermore, the whole development of Equity jurisprudence in England was entirely under the domination of the ecclesiastical chan- cellors, who of course wove into it the philosophical and moral principles of the Church. The Roman law, which for centuries had been subject to the influence of Christianity, also was drawn upon by the chancellors and even by the common law judges during the formative period of our law. Little wonder is it, then, that our courts and judges today are constantly applying-though perhaps unconscious of the fact-principles of scholastic philosophy in the practical administration of justice. The student coming from the Catholic college to the Catholic law school does not lose sight of this fact. He is imbued with the thought that these fundamental principles of Christian philosophy must be preserved as the most precious heritage in our law, and that all attempts to take them out of the law should be repulsed. And finally, by con- stant fidelity to his religious obligations, the law student can best train himself to the high standard of integrity which is the legal profession's greatest need, and should be its finest ornament. v 'lN NEXVSPAPERS AND PERIODICALS . . . are sought the latest news of legal developments.

R v EXPERIENCE Q . . . serves as a valuable ad junct to class-room study. Here a student dentist treats I a youthful patient in one of clinics to be established by a university. the first Cllildrelfs dental ummm., E field of dentistry is confronted with extremely serious problems. No amount of actuarial research or statistical gymnastics can remove the fact that the people of this country are not receiving the proper dental care and that the fault, in many cases, is not theirs. Neither can the blame be placed upon the shoulders of the dental profession. The simple fact is that there is not a sufficient number of dentists to provide adequately for the needs of the people under the existing conditions. And yet, paradoxically enough, there are doctors who are copying numbers into books and dentists who are operating street cars. And there are many active enough, but without sufficient remuneration to warrant their continuance in the humane work of alleviating . suffering. The field of dentistry is, just like so many other professional fields, overcrowded. V Two lines of thought are forming within the profession. Une advocates the continu- ance of the autonomy of dentistry as a profession on a parallel with that of medicine, and the other holds for dentistry as a special department of medicine. Those of the latter persuasion have able supporters for their doctrine in a great number of universities, while those of the first conviction maintain that such an advent would mean the indus- trialization of dentistry. There can be little doubt but that, as we are growing into a realization of the importance of the mouth as a means of the estoppel and the curing of many diseases, both infectious and contagious, the dentist, if he is to stand at the head of his profession and render the service expected and demanded of him, must be qualihed in many branches of knowledge heretofore considered the exclusive province of the medical practitioner. Many dental operations may be not only useless, but positively harmful. Too often such operations are only the result of ignorance, but no matter what the reason, such malpractices are inexcusable. Though it will be admitted that a greater and a more comprehensive knowledge of biology, histology andfgeneral anatomy is necessary for the properly equipped dentist of the future, the industrialization of dentistry cannot be condoned. By this system we v35v 323 v UNDER THE CGNSTANT SUPERVISION t ompetent instructors dental students treat patients in the clinic, pursue class-room research, work in the laboratories in the con- t to of crowns, bridges, and plates. THE CASHIER'S CAGE . . . patients waiting in the clinic-room, the making of inlays, are scenes in the School of Dentistry. would have one well trained doctor of medicine, who has specialized in dentistry, to supervise the operations and the work of a group of mere technicians. The technical part of the dentist's work, though very important, can be learned within a comparatively short space of time. Thus the office of the dentist would be turned into a factory with the foreman overseeing his underlings' work on human beings instead of machines. Now this might conceivably come into being and fulhll the desire of the age for efficiency. But while not militating against efficiency as such, dentists believe that they cannot allow their field of endeavor to fall thrall to the speed urge. V If the industrialization of dentistry comes to pass, the rank and file of the dental profession will, of necessity, be lowered. It has been amply demonstrated in the experi- ence of the European countries that whenever dentistry loses its autonomy, progress in that profession is impaired and its development hindered. It is to the public interest. they claim, that dentistry develop as a separately organized profession. Following this principle, the St. Louis University School of Dentistry has organized its curriculum into departments. The courses provided by these departments, together with those of the departments in other schools of the University, particularly the School of Medicine, offer the student a thorough knowledge of his field, and, beginning with the season of 1956-57, the dental curriculum will be enriched by the addition of courses on the essentials of medicine and surgery. Instruction will also be added in public health and hospital procedure, as well as in diagnosis, including the oral manifestations of systemic diseases and of the systemic effects of oral disease. The aim in this enrich- v56v li eshmen and Pre-Dents in g E he-gf! the School of Dentistry. if - '-fgf' -K 'Aff'-X v 37 v lf' l:l Mf i ment of the curriculum is to afford the student a better understanding of the relation of oral conditions to general health and thus to further the co-operation between the dental and the medical professions. V Nlodern equipment has been installed in the Dental School to facilitate progress in the technical phase of the student's education that will be commensurable with his theoretical education. A clinic is maintained by the school, serving the double purpose of providing much needed dental care at a nominal rate to those who would otherwise be forced to neglect their teeth, and of offering an opportunity to the student dentist to put into practice the knowledge he has learned in the lecture room. By a ruling of the American Association of Dental Schools, all students matricu- lating in the dental schools of the United States and Canada as regular students in September, l957, and thereafter, will be required to present for admission sixty semester hours of college credits fthe credits being earned in certain specified subjectsl, to be followed by four years in the Dental School. f K Y it 1 X 7' if 1 -.1 ,l .

V At first reading these words may sound exaggerated, but upon reflection we see that all the great movements in the history of mankind, including those of our own times, were initiated by a thought and directed by the philosophy of life in the minds of the leaders. Circumstances-abuses in the government of State or Church, in economic, industrial and social relations of the various -classes of society-may have offered the occasion, but in reality it was an idea striving for realization, a lVelfan..rcha1,LLu1g trying to conform the life of a nation to its philosophical principles. The same we see in the life of the individual. What ultimately determines his conduct is his outlook on life, his philosophy of life. Hence Paulsen truthfully remarks: Philosophy is not a matter that can outlive its usefulness. Nor is it the business of a few barren and .abstruse thinkers, but the concern of all ages and all mankind. Philosophy brings the many particular studies pursued during a university career into a unified perspective.

It is essentially a realism starting with the experiences of the common man, refined by the laborious investigation of the scientist in the manifold fields of scientific research and leading to a true, albeit imperfect picture of the universe. V Pope Leo XIII in his memorable encyclical on the revival of the study of St. Thomas calls attention to another effect of which scholastic philosophy is the cause, i. e., the detection and refutation of error. As long as human nature is what it is, error will always be with us and be the fruitful cause of baneful effects. Hence we need a philosophy which can lay the ax to the root. This is the more important because thought leads to action, misunderstanding to misconduct. Says the great Pcntiff: Whoever turns his mind to the bitterness of our times and thinks of the reason of what is done in private and in public, he will readily perceive that the fertile cause of the evils, both those which beset us and those we fear, lies in the fact that a false knowledge of things, human and divine, proceeded from schools of philosophers, has crept into all classes of society and received the unanimous approval of very many. The remedy, though not solely, lies in a philosophy which is sound and rests firmly on solid and true principles, for God has not given the light of reason to the human mind in vain. I V With this end in view, the philosophy course at St. Louis University embraces not only a thorough study of the principles of Scholasticism but also a critical and unbiased consideration of opposing views. In this it is but following in the footsteps of the great schoolmen, St. Thomas and others, who introduce their inquiry into a problem with the famous phrase Videtur quod non, i. e., the proposition seems not to be true, in which part of the treatise they lent a sympathetic ear to their opponents. They were never deaf to either side of a question, if for no other reason than to bring out in bolder relief the truth by the shadows of contrasting falsehood. v4lv .Q I ju x ' IE fb I5 V v,, HK , hw E Q QM!

It is ' m these meetings, so neces- ,f sary to the complete training N ofthe instructor, that tutorial V A policies are proposed and dis- . is cussed. I 1 '-ur OT so many years ago it was thought that any literate person was, by that very fact, competent to educate young children, and the belief still persists that anyone with dangerously little learningu may care adequately for the instruction of young people. Teach- ing, however, can no longer be viewed as a stepping-stone to other profes- sions, for our teacher-training institutions are moving steadily in the direction of setting up professional requirements equivalent to those which now hold for law and medicine. V Teaching is an art-one which is not mastered easily, for it takes years of training and experience to enable a teacher to Hstrike his pupils and make them ring. The art of teaching demands knowing how to impart what the instructor knows. Some teachers are masters of technique but have nothing to impart to their students 5 others have a conceded mastery of subject-matter but do not know the how of teaching. The School of Education tries to combine the what and the how so that its students may at least be initiated into the art of teaching. Though all fields of knowledge are laid under tribute to supply materials for the teacher-training curriculum, the pre-eminent consideration is natu- rally that the student acquire a mastery of the fundamental principles which constitute the Catholic theory of education. Thus it is hoped that .a sense of values will be imparted, that the prospective teacher will know whence he came, why he is here, and whither he is bound. With a true view of life the artist-teacher is ready to shape the plastic clay of youth more nearly to the image of its Maker. Religion and philosophy, in revealing the answers to the age-old questions, Whence? Why? Whither?, lay open the way for teaching by example as well as by precept. V v45v REv.WiLL1AM I. MCGUCKEN, S.

Quite naturally, cultural standards have been given first consideration in organizing the educator's program, for the uncultured teacher is the bane of American education and teacher-training institutions are largely responsible for his existence. They have viewed teaching as a standardized occupation rather than as a profession. Opportunities for specialization are provided only after a general education program has been completed. Mathematics, science, literature, philosophy, history and languages play their part in providing the necessary background which is obtained in the first two years of college work. V During the junior and senior years, special training is given in three fields, thus enabling the student to secure a mastery of what he is to teach. Since instruction is taken in departments functioning as integral parts of a university, adequate mastery of subject-matter is assured. Again, the stimulus of departmental experiences generates an interest in things of the intellect which should in later years result in the development of an attitude of continuing and persistent scholarship. So much for the What of teaching. v44v 'W' v RELIGIOUS AND LAY C STUDENTS IN THE scHooL or EDUCATION Although less than one-quarter of the entire program is devoted to professional training, the how of teaching is not neglected. Students must know at least the contributions of the past, the theories and philosophies of education, the nature of the student, how to direct his learning and how to fill his own place in the administrative scheme. Theory is so combined with practice that the transition from the University classroom to the practice school is not difficult. During the last semester, the student serves as a practice teacher with full control of a class, under proper supervision, in a local elementary or high school. This term of service is somewhat like the interneship of the medical student. The education student learns best to teach by teaching. The practice teaching program of St. Louis University is rated as one of the best in Missouri. V The good teacher is an artist in his own right, but he can become one only by reason of a lifetime of devoted and intelligent service. The School of Education does not claim that its graduates are all artist-teachers but it does hold that noble ideals, high cultural and professional standards, and the wedding of theory and practice enable its charges to find both happiness and success in teaching. v THE FOURTEEN STEPS . . . to the entrance of the School of Education are fa- miliar obstructions on a stu- dent's path to learning.

SCM of ivizzify GO YE AND TEACH s the message of him who o dains the novices at the School of Divinity, located at lVlary's, Kansas. HE Renaissance man is a spent force. But his soulless and Godless theology lives to beget ever more ugly and dangerous deformities. The true theology of a provident and personal God has been persistently twisted and tortured upon the rack of unbelief to come forth, first, as champion of an abstract God, then too weak to advocate any God. And this to the essential detriment of man. For from this mangled theology man has risen a maimed and personless entity. Without a soul and badly crippled in intellect, he limps to a destiny of shadows and unreality. As he hobbles along on his badly worn crutches of emancipation and enlightenment, it is small wonder that he makes trifling progress toward the goal of his existence. Completely unaware of the vigorous manhood to which he could raise himself, he grasps his crutches of unreality the more tightly, to loose the more certainly his last grasp on life. His way of life leads to where from the sounding-board of smug contentedness, illusion, disappoint- ment or despair, he shouts his anathemas against revelation and belief g he decries dogma as a meaningless symbol, and satirizes religion as sentiment or as mummery. And yet this paralytic of our day and age is totally unaware of his deformity 5 he believes himself to be the perfect man. V The perfect man, however, can be known only through the objective realities which still obtain in scholastic philosophy and Catholic theology. To see life as it is, to capture objective reality in the grandeur of its nobility is the aim and purpose of theological studies. Once the mind has mastered the genuineness of it all, then is man capable of developing himself to the fullness of life. Before diagnosing any disease, the theologian must know the healthy organism of the complete man. It is to the praise of scholastic philosophy that he has already evalu- ated man to the full worth of natural reason. As philosopher, having inquired carefully v47v DENTS. into human capacities and tendencies, he has noted the rich complexion which signifies the healthy ntzfzifal man. As theologian, he considers the possibilities of a .rtzpernaftaral man. If such be the case, if God has transfigured the natural objective into a super- natural one, then man's genuine purpose for living is beyond the scrutiny of reason unaided. And reasonls sole aid would be God's word. Un such unimpeachable authority man would soar into the realm of faith. This new font of knowledge, faith, flows into the science of theology. The theologian's Hrst tasli is to ferret out the Divine revelation in the event that one had been given. His philosophical advance is parallel with the' columns of history. His direction is ever forward, his methods flawless until he establishes that living and life-giving fact that God has spoken to man. The mind is so enriched by this knowledge, the will so empowered that it is free to command the intellect to expand into an act of faith. V Unce this position is reached in which the theologian knows what he can and ought to believe, he begins to explore a realm of knowledge and reality which transcends nature. He is beyond immediate perception, he is probing and testing those larger concepts of half-veiled mysteries. In removing the veil as best he can, he distinguishes the revealed mysteries from natural truths, he defends them against the charge of contradiction, and finds their remote analogies in the kingdom of creatures. I Main, with all his complexities, is visioned as a whole, as a perfectly integrated reality, as an individual with a supernatural destiny. As this all-inclusive perception of v48v v FOURTH YEAR DIVINI TY STUDENTS Cabos J AND THIRD YEAR STU zontent, the character, the fullness of life unfolds, man is taught the why and how ring. In this why and how is the formula for the fulfillment of his being, the attain- : of his supreme end, the formation of the perfect man. Thus the unique pattern of las been pieced together. The divine design has substituted the natural. That way fing has been traced which alone insures health and success. Life is then no longer .ytic and blind, but wholesome and intelligent 5 no longer natural and indifferent, .acramental and deeply Catholic. May it not be said, then, that the graduated theologian belongs to the highest type iegrated man either as a priest of Christ or in the priesthood of the laity? Surely he .iipped to go forth as dispenser of that abundant life of the supernatural man. He :roughly acquainted with the ailments peculiar to modern life. Whether the question :rn Church and State, or morality and convention 5 whether the point of issue be control or euthanasia, whether nationalism, war, dictatorship be weighed in the ice of right and wrong, whether the topic inquire after social order and civilization, her rationalism, modernism, positivismg or capitalism, communism, fascism be the ed points, a diagnosis is forthcoming and a corrective and restorative is ready at . He becomes the dispenser of that life-giving knowledge of God to man. Evangelist he is, his good message announces man's place in the supernatural order and his al destiny. I-Ie proclaims the spiritual element in men, the spiritual life of man. natural and supernatural are joined to form the rich and spiritual character of the :tly liberal and integral man.

Theoretical work is put into practice in the many laboratories located in Desloge Hospital, and thus practical experience is gained in tien BOTH LABORATORY AND CLINIC- are the scenes ofa student S changes have been made in the medical profession and in the education of prospective surgeons and physicians, so must they be introduced into the train- ing of nurses. Of late years, there has grown up a definite realization of the impo ant part to be played in the care of the sick by nurses. Ever since 1657, when the first Sister nurses came to Quebec, has the nurse in our country and Canada played a more essential and an increasingly important role, until now it is recognized that the nurse, in the care of the sick, complements the doctor's activities. She it is who must constantly observe the patient's progress, she it is who can best help him to recovery, she it is who must apply the doctor's orders and see them realized. The nurse is in constant and unceasing attendance upon the patient, consequently, a well-trained nurse can be a great asset to medicine, and one who is not properly educated in the technique of her profession will necessarily be a hindrance to the doctor she is supposed to be helping. V The education of prospective nurses, then, must be organized with this end in view- that the nurse should complement the doctor, that she should be his indispensable aid, that she should work in harmony with him. It is patent that the nurse who will fulfill these requirements must keep abreast with the astoundingly rapid developments that are constantly and continually occurring in the science of medicine. Those schools of nursing which have been conducted under University auspices have tried in the past to translate conscientiously these ideals into practice. There are many difficulties inherent in the general situation, but of recent years tremendous strides toward the realization of an ideal form of education for nurses have been taken. V St. Louis University organized a separate School of Nursing in 1928 by unifying the efforts of the already existing St. Iohn's Hospital School of Nursing, by extending the facilities of the St. Mary's Hospital School of Nursing to lay nurses, and finally by founding a new unit for lay nurses in the Alexian Brothers' Hospital School of Nursing. v5lv v STUDENTS IN THE SCHOOL OF NURSING . . . at St. Mary's Hospital TERMEDIATE Qc e Il e e rp AND FIRST YEAR. An administrative board was formed, composed of representatives of all three of these units and a unified curriculum, -form of administration, record system and type of control, was introduced. The curriculum of the undergraduate nurses was thus brought under University control. V A11 of this development was given great impetus through the organization of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Nursing. This organization sprang into being after a preliminary trial period through the adoption of its constitution in December of 1955. Of this Association, the St. Louis University School of Nursing is a charter member. The School continues to use the sisters as instructors in the various subjects, with additional courses being offered each year in the different special fields of nursing. That a new era has dawned in this important field of nursing, no one can deny. The nurse of today is struggling to take the place which she feels is rightfully hers in the medical profession. She has learned to understand her own usefulness, her own dignity, her own role in the future maintenance of the nation's health and welfare. In the field of public health, particularly, she has already demonstrated in an unmistakable way her ability to carry large responsibility. In the field of education she has proved v52v THIRD YEAR Caboveb, IN- herself capable of bearing the responsibility of the teacher, the director, the school adminis- trator, the educational supervisor. The demands which all this development makes upon the girl who enters the nursing profession must necessarily, therefore, be far in excess of those required only a decade ago. There exists the difficulty of assimilating all the changes that are ever occurring with increasing speed. She must grow in ambition, in academic achievement, in idealism and character with the profession which offers her, not the compensations of financial return, but the compensations of devoted and self-dedicated service. V A complete education, including a thorough knowledge of psychology and the various sciences, while not essential to the training of a good nurse, will certainly make an ordinarily good nurse much better. The School of Nursing at St. Louis University has had a constantly growing number of nurses seeking academic degrees after having already received a nursing degree. Such educational advantages are an asset both to the nurse herself and to society whom she can better serve by reason of a more extensive and thorough training. Such ideals are realized as closely as possible in the School of Nursing at this Uni- versity g such are the objectives towards which it is constantly tending.

Service WITH GRIM DETER- MINATION a student undertakes the acies of registration, but INDIVIDUALITY TAKES A BACK SEAT as the first monthly test oo s upon the horizon. W, OUNDED in the fall of 1950, the School of Social Service has rapidly developed into a significant institution. The education offered by it is both cultural and practical. It is academic, but in a more direct way is preparatory for the student's future life work. It is open alike to men and women students. V On its purely academic side the school aims to refine and perfect the personality and abilities of the individual. It offers all the cultural possibilities that could elsewhere be secured, and that can make for a well-rounded and effective collegiate training. The fundamental purpose of the school is to develop in the first place thoroughly cultured and educated men and women who will be an honor to their chosen profession and will be doubly efficient by reason of the sound academic background they have received. Every facility is offered to them to attain this end. But the young man or woman coming to this school with the proper high-school credentials has also a further object in view, however vaguely formulated. It is because of some special interest in social thought or social service, in any of its countless applications, that this school is selected by the prospective student in preference to any other University unit, such as Medicine, or Dentistry, or Commerce and Finance. It is the one school for zfhif student, answering a purpose no other school can equally satisfy. V Two requisites, therefore, must be taken for granted as existing on the student's part. The first is a sincere desire for a thorough academic and cultural training, a genuine collegiate education. The second is a sufficiently definite interest in an educa- tion informed with a strong and intelligent social spirit, an education that is planned with the utmost care to serve as an effective preparation, in a general way, for whatever field of social thought and effort the student may later decide upon. Even should another walk of life be later chosen he would still have the complete, well-rounded academic and v55v af., Hari' A 'fag School of Social Servic 'rv cultural preparation that fits him for his place in the world of men, while his social preparation will be a valuable asset and a constant incentive for noble and important service. V From the first semester of the student's collegiate career on to graduation it is the function of the school to watch over his development and carefully to direct his choice of subjects. Where the cultural and scientific value of courses is the same, selection can be made according to the specific bearing of each course on the student's future life sphere. This is absolutely necessary in order to husband the available time and energy. During the first two years emphasis is more strongly laid upon a Wide and firm academic basis for all future studies, although this cultural foundation itself is laid in a very planful way, with the future structure clearly in mind. With the elimination of all professional and technical courses in Social Case Work from the undergraduate curriculum and the transfer of them to the first year of graduate study in the Department of Social Work, it has come about that a great many hours of solid cultural and socially practical studies have been gained for the undergraduate student. This has made possible the entire reconstruction of the junior and senior years by the addition of important courses which now offer a far more rounded and complete preparation for whatever specific work the graduate from the school will later enter upon in the widely diversified field of social service. It will equally serve him for whatever special social work curricula he may wish to select should he continue as a graduate student in the University. V Should the student, therefore, not be able to begin graduate studies he will never- theless have received his Bachelor of Arts or Science degree in Sociology, and will go v56v' FN ' v IUNIORS Qabovej AND SOPHOMORES i t e A UNIQUE GROUP ' V ' the U i ' ' N 's c l Service Club, com- , osed ofthe women students ' A OLD FACEFUL p o 'de rn in mveisitv 1 the 1- this school. .

His specific training will be eminently helpful in the many socio-economic enterprises for which a college preparation is required or highly desired. V Students able to enter upon graduate study who are interested in sociology as their field can continue for the Master of Arts Degree in that department, with all condi- tions satisfied, and thereafter may aspire to the Doctorate in this same subject. Those who prefer a strictly social work career will directly enter the department of Graduate Social Work, with the purpose of receiving after one year the Provisional Certificate sponsored by the American Association of Schools of Social Work. This is meant to indicate their fitness to undertake practical work in the best standard agencies. Should the degree of Master of Science in Social Work or in Medical Social Work be their objective, they can devote their further studies to the specific curricula which the school offers in these fields. V If in the world today there is one subject uppermost in the minds of men, it is the social problem g if there is one call more urgent than any other, it is the call for social action 5 if, finally, there is one need of society imperative in the material order, it is that for true social service in the widest and most comprehensive sense, a service informed and inspired by a high motive, equally worthy of the client and the worker, the recipient and the giver of the service. That, in one single sentence, is the razifofi Lfefre of the School of Social Service. v 57 v 'Q-2. V L7 QV. .,.-f.-, F gpg,-.A .1--Z, '1.g:-fi-ti..-J 9'2 i. fx ' -1-yi. rf .

Accordingly, in an era p i i when the place of the woman is no longer only in the home, it becomes necessary infill for education to adjust itself to the change. Catholic education, too, must ad- just itself, and set about to mold the daughters of Catholicism, equipping them with the knowledge necessary to meet modern problems of living, offering them the Catholic viewpoint, developing them as responsible units in the scheme of human society. V Fontbonne College shares the spirit of the new movement. She recognizes that a revision of old standards is necessary in- times such as these. Appreciating the fact that women too must face the problems of the hour, even as men, she has adapted herself accordingly. And so she has attempted to instill into her students an appreciation of the new social evolution with its accompanying demands upon those possessing a college degree. The strictures of a narrow curriculum are gradually being put aside as a growing student body makes imperative a more comprehensive scope of learning. Incorporating new courses into her schedule, Fontbonne proves herself a liberal institution open -to sound avenues of progress. She is also mindful of the part the social must play in the life of her students. Traditional events, hardly to be expected of a school of recent es- tablishment, fill out a year of student activity. With the Iunior Prom, a formal dinner- dance, as its climax, the social season this year included various class dances, Font Day, May Day and the annual Fontbonne Horse Show. i v58v ,cjzzzttomze Goffeqe if if i A,-' J f.

Such, in a sentence, is the philosophy upon which Maryville College bases the education it imparts to its students. Hers will be the first steps in training the souls of children g hers will be the special mission of civilization in the widest and highest sense. The young womanhood of America, with its possibilities for good, its expectant hopefulness as to what the future will bring, its initiative and practical resourcefiulness, gives a splendid opportunity to the college-and a great responsibility for its use. The higher education of women under Catholic influence must have a strong basis of moral worth and discipline to cultivate the expansion of intellectual life while obviating one- sidedness by dissociating it from the realities of life-those primeval teachers of experience. V College opens sufficient avenues of activity to make the student realize that life is too large to grasp the whole of it in the few years allotted to her and that choice must be made of what is essential even though side issues offer enticements. A definite sense of' values is cultivated to provide anchorage for days when duty will not be so clear, work so well defined, and life harder to handle than in college years. Atmosphere is a most important element in the education of women. Maryville has its traditions and associations and subtle influences which have grown through generations, and which will tell-perhaps more deeply than the teaching-upon those who are children of the Sacred Heart. v 59 v V QE i Webster F55 if W Gotteqe v 5' Webster College holds it patent that the solution to such problems is not to be found in a transformation of principles of Catholic college education, but rather in an adjustment of those principles to the new conditions of life. This adjust- ment does not constitute a change in a single one of the ideals of Catholic higher edu- cation, but, on the contrary, it emphasizes all the more the flexibility of Catholic education in facing every crisis without endangering either its individuality or its loyalty to re- C K ,REPARING in every way possible to meet modern problems as they develop, li gious principles. V In numerous ways Webster College has assisted her students to find, through the medium of true Catholic education, the answer to the many new problems arising in the wake of the depression-the innovations in the material, the social, the political and even in the religious sphere. Realizing that women must play a diversified and a con- stantly more important role in world affairs, Webster College endeavors to equip her graduates with the training and the preparation necessary to fit them to take their places as Catholic women of a new age. Naturally, the entire curriculum of the College is directed towards the accomplish- ment of this end, and the benefits accruing from it to the individual student depend upon her desire and ability to utilize them. As from any well-rounded educative system, there result benefits of a material, physical, intellectual, moral and religious nature. Thus the student of Webster College is given a true education and she comes to realize that she will occupy her rightful place in future life, an important place, only if she puts into practice those ideals learned in the classroom. v60v lx I7 l Cke Qwuff of lziversify 6l'6LilZiIZq f 1 I i L ,QM I M. 5 n E I lg: M 1 N U N ,4 U ' bg X , I AV' R X r .

LOUIS UNIVERSITYUS Annual Prom, the climax to the Student Conclave's All ALQ- , social activity, brought the current season of dance festivities to a dramatically triumphant close on the evening of Apr. 27. A Monday night was selected for the Prom this year by the Conclave so that Freddy Martin and his orchestra could furnish the music for the affair. The evening was warm and summery, so light colored gowns formed a beautiful contrast to the black and white garb of the glamorous maids' escorts. Light pinks and blues, dashing reds and greens, brilliant prints and vivid yellows vied for the spotlight of attention with the more subdued shades of lavender and old rose. V The presence of Freddy Martin, nationally popular band leader, and his fifteen- piece orchestra attracted a throng of dancers and onlookers' despite the rainy night. v Members of the Prom Committee. Lysaght Mur- phey, president of the Con- clave and assistant chairman of the Prom, Arno Emling, patrons, Iarnes Driscoll, pro- gramsg Thomas Neill, decora- tions, Byron Iackson, financeg and Mary Louise Mug, favors. v88v Q it Queen ofthe 1936 St. Louis Y University Promenade con- ducted by the Student Con- clave, April 27, in the Uni- ' versity Gymnasium. She was chosen as representative of 1 - it the School of Medicine and is a senior at Fontbonne College. v Virginia O'Hearn, The Festivities of the occasion began at ten o'clock when Martin's first strains of rhythmic music filled the pseudo-ballroom. Dancing continued for only two numbers this year before the ceremonies. Thus the maids and their Conclave escorts were able to have ten dances on their program as contrasted with the eight they enjoyed in previous years. V Martin achieved a reputation as the band that radio couldn't buy when he was stationed in the East. There he played exclusively for the larger debutante parties. At the present time he is engaged at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago. Martin proved a most popular leader. The music he furnished for the ceremonies was faultless and in unusually good taste. His strains of Don't Give Up The Ship set the pace for the maids of honor and their escorts who preceded the queen to the throne after the second dance. At approximately eleven o'cl0ck the dancers found seats in the balcony and the juniors and seniors of the various schools of the University formed a guard of honor on v Members ot' the Prom Committee.

A fanfare of trumpets blared forth and the reigning queen of the St. Louis University Prom entered the court of love and beauty. Miss Hazel Higgins, on the arm of Lysaght Murphey, president of the Conclave, advanced to the throne for the last few moments of her reign. V The procession of the maids of honor now began. The first maid to enter was Miss Margaret Mehring, representing F ontbonne College, where she is a junior. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. joseph W. Mehring, of Huntington, Ind. and was escorted by Arno Emling, Conclave representative from the Dental School. Miss Lillian Schwalbe, maid of honor from the Day School of Commerce and Finance, then approached the throne, accompanied by james Driscoll, a junior of that school. She is a senior at Webster and is the daughter of Mrs. Mary A. Schwalbe of 4914 North- land Place. The third maid was Miss Bernice Bruening, a senior at Webster College, which school she represented. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Bruening, and resides at 2904 Sullivan Avenue g she ,was attended by Ioseph Duddy, a' junior in the Day School of Commerce and Finance. The fourth maid was Miss Elaine Casey, a junior in the School of Social Service, which school she represented. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Casey, of 2857 Laclede Road, and was escorted by Robert Hennessy, a junior in the School of Dentistry. Following the Dentistry maid came Miss Helen Coy, representing Mary- ville College, where she is a senior. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles I. Coy of 5204 Hawthorne Boulevard, she was escorted by Thomas Gallagher, Conclave repre- sentative from the pre-medical department. V The next maid of honor was Miss Loretta Vehslage, a former student in the Night School of Commerce and Finance, and the maid chosen by that school. She was accompa- nied by Byron jackson, a senior in the same school, and is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis H. Vehslage, residing at 6040 McPherson. She was followed by Miss Ruth Heath, representative of the School of Law. She is a former student of Fontbonne College and is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George B.

Heinecke of 4164 Hartford Street. V The last maid of honor to approach the throne was Miss Iune Wynne, representing the College of Arts and Sciences. A member of the freshman class at Fontbonne College, she is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Wynne, and resides at 2500 Union Boule- vard. She was escorted by Paul Fitzsimmons, a junior in the Arts College. With all the maids assembled on the elaborate dais flanking the throne, an intense air of expectancy filled the air. The spotlight swung from the throne to the entrance as the new queen of love and beauty made her appearance. The trumpets sounded again and the orchestra broke into the strains of the celebrated Coronation March and a burst of applause greeted Miss Virginia O'Hearn, representing the School of Medicine, as she entered on the arm of David Mattis, Prom chairman, a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences. The queen made a stately picture in a beautiful gown of white satin. The deep crimson of the queenly mantle added becoming dignity to her attire. Miss O'Hearn is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. lames R. 0'Hearn, 4455 Floriss Place, and is a senior at Fontbonne College. Freddy Martin then played a special arrangement of Let Yourself Go for the entertainment of the queen and her court, following which came the grand march from the throne and dancing was resumed. The Prom ended at two o'clock, the check-room attendants were stampeded, and a long line of cars moved slowly out of the quadrangle and up West Pine, with the occupants expressing a feeling of satisfaction at the evening's proceedings. V Naturally the success of the 1956 Prom is due in great part to the efficient work on the part of the Prom committee. David Mattis, a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences, acted as general chairman and was assisted by Lysaght Murphey, Conclave president, a senior Law student. The numerous details attendant upon any function of this proportion were capably handled by the following Conclave members: Iohn Oates, arrangements, Thomas Gallagher, costumes, Thomas Neill, decorations, Paul Brumby, entertainment, Byron Iackson, finance, Mary Louise Mug, favors, Robert Hennessy, maids, Arno Emling, patrons, lames Driscoll, programs, Paul Fitzsimmons, publicity, and Joseph Duddy, ceremonies. A dinner-dance for the entertainment of the maids-elect and the reigning queen was given by the Conclave on Mar. 17 at Hotel Chase. At a similar function the new queen and her royal court of maids of honor and the Conclave men as their escorts were feted. This dinner-dance took place at the Coronado Hotel on May 5. In large measure also, the success of the Prom was a result of the efforts of Miss Mildred Fitzgibbons, secretary to Rev. Thomas M. Knapp, SJ., dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and Edward Brown, supervisor of the gymnasium. Miss Fitzgibbons aided the Conclave immeasurably in detail work and Brown again supervised the erection of the throne and attended to all matters of decorations and equipment of the gymnasium. V Thus was brought to a close the social season of 1955-56, which, by reason of the efforts of the Student Conclave, was voted one of the most pleasant and successful of all time. With a feeling of satisfaction the student body settled down to the long grind of preparing for final examinations which were to begin within three comparatively short weeks. T v92v l l ii W. i.

Byron's Clzilafe Harold UCH is the attitude of the students when the Conclave gives the joyous announcement- On with the danceln The St. Louis University students have every opportunity, on the completion of their education, to fit not only into the business world, but also into the ever intriguing social swirl. While they are acquiring higher learning, the Conclave gives a course in the Art and Technique of Night Life. This course is held in four classes, the Barn Dance, the S-L Dance, the Valentine Dance, and the Prom. The final examination is given at this last gala party, and upon the student's activities and conduct on this occasion his grade is determined. Iudging from the broad smiles and cheery faces, the students and their companions who willingly took the course have all passed-Magna Cum Laude. And the Board of Professors who comprise the Conclave can congratulate themselves on having successfully administered an exacting course to all their pupils. BARN DANCE V Registration completed and classroom routine having settled itself for some few weeks, the Conclave Professors gathered their students for the first formal class in the Art and Technique of Night Life. The introductory class was especially informal, and thus the social ice was broken in a convivial and genial manner. St. Louis University boys and girls went a harvestin' and a milkin', and many appeared as though they were prepared to go to town on the fifteenth night of October, when they gathered at the gymnasium, only to find that it had been turned into a good v95v I X W SU? p' B. . f' I N l I .

PATRICK'S DAY DANCE . . given by Phi Sigma Eta, Commerce School fraternity, was held this year at the De Soto Hotel. old country barn. The scene was such as to make any country lad or lassie pine for the old homestead. Disguising the gymnasium, as much aspossible, were huge colorful autumn leaves and dimmed lights. And to get the students really into the spirit of things, there was a stuffed pig, and an ox's feed box, and ears of dried corn, and corn stalks, and pumpkins and all the accouterments of rural life. V If old Uncle Si had come up from the farm to join his gleeful kin of the younger generation for this occasion, he would have delighted to dance the Virginia reel to Turkey in the Straw, played by the ever-popular Buddy Duddy and his band. Duddy is a home town boy who furnished the music for this occasion. He is also one of the Conclave Professors in charge of the course in social affairs, being head of the depart- ment of music. Q At the conclusion of the favorite Barn Dance, when coy gingham-checked lassies and their husky overalled escorts, and the trim little maidens in calico with their friends in the ill-fitting mail-order suits were saying goodbye, they really meant it when they all said 'Tve had a lovely time 5 the dance was too, too divine. S-L DANCE V Friday, the dreaded thirteenth day of November, was picked for the S-L Dance as the meeting night of class number two in the Art and Technique of Night Life v THE MISSOURI ATHLETIC CLUB . . . was the scene of this year's annual Webster College Prom.

Those students who threw their superstitions to the winds and attended class at the S-L Dance were cured of Friday-the-thirteenth phobia forever. Anyone who was present could never believe again that this day spread bad luck. V Once again the letter-men held the spotlight along with Coach Cecil E. Muellerleile. The dance was given in the athletes' honor, and to show their appreciation the Athletic Department donated as an attendance prize a football used in one of the Billiken games. To make this prize all the more cherished, it was autographed by all of the members of the varsity grid squad. The motif of this dance, as the name implies, was the University colors, and every- one in attendance was requested to wear blue and white to carry out the decoration scheme. The huge blue and white canopy was stretched overhead as the dominating part of the color effect. None other than the famous Richard Day and his orchestra of eleven pieces played at this affair which lasted from ten until two. Those who were so unlucky as to miss winning the coveted attendance prize found consolation by listening to attractive Shirly Deane croon her famous songs.

Registration day for the second semester social season was not far off and a large number of students were expected to take the last two classes. - VALENTINE DANCE V Class three, as given by the Conclave Professors, stressed the fact that the heart of man speaks as imperiously as his head. So the date chosen, to be appropriate, was Valentine's Day. If any of the students showed disappointment because the traditions of the Mardi Gras Ball were supplanted by a Valentine Dance, this sorrow was soon forgotten when they arrived at the ,Gymnasium Friday evening, on the memorable fourteenth day of February. Large crepe paper hearts were fastened on the walls and over the dancers' heads were strung tantalizing, swaying smaller red hearts. In the center of the ceiling was attached a large, red cardboard box with heart shaped holes cut in the sides 3 in the box was a flashing electric light globe. The decorations were unusually attractive and very much in keeping with the date. V Buddy Duddy, well known orchestra leader and Conclave Professor of music, proved so popular in his course given at the first dance of the year that he was recalled to preside v DANCING . . . is relegated to the background when refresh- v 96 v QW. ,. -17 Q at the Valentine affair. So by popular request, he was asked to provide the rhythm for the merrymakers. He again won the immediate favor of the attendants by encour- aging request numbers. The final point in his favor, according to the students of rhythm, was the fact that he really did play the suggested melodies. V Thus was closed the third of the Conclave dances-the last of the smaller social classes to come before the final event of the year, the climax of the University's social season, the annual Prom. That the dances proved more than enjoyable to the swaying swains and their gorgeously bedecked maids who attended them can never be doubted, it is equally certain that the Student Conclave will continue its excellent work in pro- moting a unified social program for the entire University and provide in following years entertainment even more enjoyable than that offered during the social season of 1955 and 1956. And so was completed the last class in the Art and Technique of Night Life before the final examination to be held on the twenty-seventh day of April with the Conclave Professors, under the chairmanship of David Mattis and assisted by Dean Freddie Martin, to act as a board of examiners. Students who planned to complete the course with credit used the interim to brush up on their social graces and to perfect their dance steps so that they could get their degree-Magna Cum Laude. l ll t 5:3 ra Qi .

IOHNSTON, SI., president of the University, officially opened the 1955-56 school year at p the annual Convocation in the University gymnasium on Friday, Uct. ll. His address was heard by more than 2,000 students of the University, including the corporate colleges. V The deans of the various schools of the University, attired in their academic robes, occupied a platform at the south end of the gymnasium with the faculty members of the University seated before them. After being introduced by Rev. Thomas M. Knapp, SJ., chancellor of the University and dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Father Iohnston pointed out the value of a Catholic university training, welcomed the students and expressed the hope of a suc- cessful year for all. He followed with a brief history of the Jesuits in America and ended with the announcement of the official enrollment of all of the schools and a report on the present financial condition of the University. Before the Convocation, the entire student body attended the Mass of the Holy Ghost, celebrated by the president in the College Church. The sermon was delivered by Rev. Albert Muntsch, SJ., professor of sociology. In the course of his address, Father Muntsch deplored the evils which the mechanical inventions of our age have ' -'-AS WAS THE COLLEGE , CHURCH engendered. He stated that while great advances were . . . l i . . . . . during the annual retreat, held being made in scientific fields, spiritual culture had re- at the close ofthe first semester. mained almost dormant. 4 V - Even the older universities, he said, realized many centuries ago the danger of exclusive devotion to scientific experiment. Hence, Harvard adopted as its seal the fine motto, 'Lux et Veritas'-Light and Truth. Your Alma Mater likewise is devoted to this high work of spreading light and truth, by her teaching, espe- cially along the lines of ethics, morality and religion, which are as firmly founded as the mountains and the stars. For the Church, of which Alma Mater is a part, is guided by the Spirit of Truth. v98v adio Station XPANSION of facilities for remote broadcasts marked a year of varied activity for the University Radio Station, WEW. Established primarily as an educational station, YVEW this year added a group of programs of exceptional cultural value. Particularly of the afternoon sessions of the Social Order Mondays, held RICHARD CROSS while . . . notable was the special broadcast in the University Auditorium under the auspices of the Queen's Work. The University of the Air, for years a feature of the station's schedule, assumed new and greater proportions, when the various schools of the University were invited to take part in the half-hour broadcast. The schools participating included that of Law, Philosophy and Science, Commerce and Finance and Webster College. 1n addition, Rev. Henry Regnet, SJ., University librarian, continued his broadcast of a book-review program each Week. Perhaps the outstanding daily program was the classic feature, Moments with the Masters, a 45-minute period . . . THE INNUMERABLE CONTROLS . . . are carefully regulated by the ever-present operator. devoted exclusively to the musical creations of the world's master composers. This feature, together with the Musical Clock, attracted the station's largest listening audience. Historically, WEW completed its fifteenth year of regular broadcasting, for it was in 1921 that the station first began broadcasting market and weather reports. Radio itself is much older at the University, inasmuch as experiments in the field of code transmission were con- ducted by members of the science department as early as 1915. Perhaps the highlight of the year for the station was the play-by-play description of the DePaul-St. Louis University football game direct from Soldiers' Field, Chicago. This is the first time a broadcast of this nature was attempted by the station and its success is a tribute both to the technical and announcing staffs. Richard VV. Cross, lr., Law freshman, again served as program director, assisted by William P. Nolan, Ir., Alexander Buchan, William Durbin, Ferd Cvast and Henry Buhr. Bro. George E.

Forrey, SJ., who regulates the policies of the University's press. v THE ARCHIVE DUMMIES . . . undergo careful supervision by editors Thomas P. Neill Cleftl and Bernard E. Lutz, co-editors of The Archive. Lutz, a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences, advanced to this position from that of managing editor, while Neill, also a junior in the same school, was an associate editor last year. ACH year the selection of a theme suitable for yearbook purposes becomes increasingly difficult. In this regard Archive XXII is no exception. At the start of the year it was decided to devote the book to a consideration of the Middle Ages-in which would be shown that only by a reversion to the principles which guided life in that period can man ever hope to lift himself out of the throes of his present state-economic maladjustment resulting from intellectual confusion. Inasmuch as The Archive last year concerned itself with the chaotic condition of the Twentieth Century, it was felt that the complete Catholic answer to the problems raised in Archive XXI would be effectively answered this year. V The editors soon learned, however, that such a theme-on the scale intended- would be almost impossible of visualization. Then it was determined to incorporate the idea of cause-in the strict philosophical sense-with the firstidea, but instead of simplifying matters this merely served to complicate the problem. So finally it was decided to limit the scope of the book to a treatment of the most fundamental principle motivating human endeavor-the ontological principle of causality, as applied to the educative system. Blank stares on the part of the students greeted the announcement of the theme., At first the staff attempted to explain the arrangement of the book, but because cold words minus the symbolism of art work, the grace of type and the intricacies of applying this philosophical principle of a university-something never attempted before in year- books-proved difficult of explanation, nothing more than wait till you see it could be said. V The Archive itself is an exemplification of the notion of causality. For material cause it has the paper, ink, type, cloth, wood and metal upon which the efficient cause- the staff, artists, printers, binders and advisers-worked. The book itself is the formal . vl0Ov cause, the thing produced. The final cause of the book is the recording of events of the year 1955-56 at St. Louis University, and ultimately the glorihcation of God. As a result of the late start, intensive work on the part of the staff was required to assure the completion of the book in time for distribution to students by the middle of May. Although in numbers the staff of The Archive is large, the real work devolved upon a handful of men who were forced to keep hours that were more than long. Night after night the five or six men who are really responsible for the publication of this annual worked until late in the evening, frequently long past midnight. After all, the making of dummies, the editing of copy and the reading of proof, the writing of captions, the arranging of layouts, the hundreds of behind-the-scene jobs, little recognized but nevertheless real, demand time in great quantities. Many school write-ups are the work of the deans, but even these must be copyread for slight revisions of phrasing to conform to the general style of The Archive, to make them not disconnected accounts, but a part of an integrated whole. V And it is as an integrated and climactic whole that Archive XXII is presented. Merely page through the book and you will find evidence of this. The cover, a combina- tion of monk's cloth, backed up by leather, and with an impression of the pictorialization of the final cause stamped in brown, reveals the newest trends in yearbook covers. In the opening section the reader finds the explanation of the plan, the razlron d'ez're of the v A VIGNETTE . . . of University life may be found daily in the publications room, located on the ground floor of the College of Arts and Sciences.

Graphic art work, showing at once the ultimate purpose of life and the struggles through which man must go to attain that end, are outlined by delicately carved borders. In the following section the idea of the book is explained more fully, with emphasis placed on the application of the theme to education. After the University section in which the administration of St. Louis University is discussed, each school is allotted four pages in which it shows how its activity conforms to the general educative pattern 5 this is the efficient cause working upon the material cause-the student. There follow the senior photographs-the formal cause, the result of the application of-the efficient cause upon the material. V Extra-curricular activities are not forgotten. Social activities, publications, forensics, clubs and fraternities all play a part in the development of the full man, toward which a university should strive. The quality of the feature section has improved and should, for most readers, prove enjoyable. The usually dull senior section, containing seemingly endless photographs of graduates, has been enlivened by the addition of incidental pictures throughout these pages. This was done so that others besides seniors would have an incentive to read this part of the book. Raleigh type was selected for the head- ings of the various schools, activities, organizations and the like as the style most in keeping with the idea behind the book. From a technical standpoint The Archive this year presents many innovations.

The chaste simplicity of Cochin type fittingly portrays the simplicity of causality. The art work by Iohnson is sufhcient alone to place Archive XXII on a par with past Archives 5 it provides an inspiration to those who are struggling, it sustains those whose struggles in this life are nearly over. Powerfully suggestive at the same time of both problem and solution, it is truly art, just as the quality of the copy in the book is surprisingly literary. Viewed from every angle, it is immediately apparent that this is not just another yearbook, but a book with a purpose, a book with a message. V But it cannot be hoped that everyone will be pleased with this Archive. Some will mistake its purpose, some will find its theme abstruse. Others may express dissatisfac- tion over the arrangement of pictures-their pictures 3 still others may object to the fact that there are not enough pages in the book, although losing sight of the budget to which a book of this proportion is restricted. Such is the story of Archive XXII. Needless to say, the book, regardless of its merits or flaws, could not have been produced without the co-operation it has received. Not only upon the editors, nor even upon the staff, can praise or censure be placed. It is with a firm conviction that an Archive of lasting value has been published, and with the hope that the student will read the book and find therein a stimulus for the realiza- tion of his station in life, that The Archive staff completes this volume. vlO5v v MAKEUP IZiV6V5ify wews than that afforded by publication work. Engrossing as it does multiple associa- tions, it demands from all minute accurateness, careful scrutiny and arrange- ment of detail. Of all collegiate publication endeavors the university newspaper offers the most varied routine of activity and the most recurrent problems. K' if FERHAPS no better medium of experience is proffered the university student V During the present year The University News has tried to meet the problems encum- bent upon the issuance of every college weekly newspaper and has succeeded with the varying competence of the staff members. Errors of form, composition, tactics and iudgment have not been missing from the 52 issues. Yet, with the commission of each error and its subsequent detection, some member of the staff, if not the entire staff, determined to correct or at least to attempt to remedy the basic fault to which the blunder was attributed. Owing to this constant pursuit of accuracy, the mistakes of the early issues were in a great number of instances decreased or eliminated. Numerous changes in the composition of the paper were effected: new headings made their appearance, each school of the University was called upon to contribute a weekly column describing the current news and trends of the fields represented by these schools. But the most significant improvement of the year was the increased University interest which resulted from the more complete coverage of news permitted by a notable increase in funds available from the advertisements incorporated in each issue. This new interest, manifest throughout the entire student body, was principally demonstrated by the fact that the staff of the newspaper reached its greatest proportions in recent years, as students from every school of the University sought to attach themselves to the publication. V A unique experiment was successfully carried out this year when, in conjunction with the observance of the civic presentation, St. Louis on Parade, the staff of the publication issued one of the largest editions both in circulation and number of pages in the history of the University. This issue contained sixteen pages and its circulation was upwards of 75,000 Besides the regular distribution at the schools of the University, copies of this issue were available to visitors at the University booth located on the display floor of the Municipal Auditorium. v1b4v . . pl Us p t t p t in the appearance of The University News, here Ed tors Paul E.

Although their identity must remain unrevealed, it remains a signihcant fact that their efforts achieved national recognition. The concur- rent theme of the editorial policy for the past year may be briefly summarized as the disclosure of the Catholic position in the American scene and the American Catholic thought on the burning questions of the day. Also outstanding in the year's program was the active participation in the National Catholic Press Conference held at the University for the first time. This conference, sponsored by the Press Club of the University, was attended by publication representa- tives from preparatory schools, colleges and universities throughout Missouri and the neighboring states. V Following the policy of the previous year, the editorship was divided into two periods corresponding to the two semesters of the school year. Paul E. Fitzsimmons, junior in the College of Arts and Sciences, edited the paper during the first semester, while Mark T. Martin Ir., sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences, was in charge of publication during the second half of the year. Prominent among the members of the staff during the period of publication were Iames A. Kearns, sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences, and Iohn A.

Gallagher Qleftj and Arthur R. Kuhl, successive editors during the e school year, this magazine has under their competent super- T 3 riin is ifi iiii i E4 6 A iff' gf the thirty-fifth year of publication, deserting its usual staid format, The it Fleur-de-Lis, University literary magazine, enjoyed one of its most expansive- tfi' if not profitable-seasons. For long years octavo sized, conservatively and richly bound, free from all advertising, and preponderantly faculty-written, The Fleur- de-Lis had built for itself a rather enviable position among collegiate magazines. Now its larger sized, double-columned pages carry articles and reviews almost entirely student in production. Yet the character of the magazine has not changed save in accidentals. It is still an organ of the American Catholic Revival. Indeed, it has been declared one of the publications in the vanguard of such a movement. It is still devoted to real, personal, vital writing on the issues of today without more than a slight suggestion of the usual superficial undergraduate outpourings on subjects but remotely connected with lite and its living. V There was, in fact, a determined effort to produce and print such writing, an attempt to depart from the stereotyped, from the immature attempts to re-serve warmed over surveys of literature in general or the Catholic novel. Student writing must neces- sarily bear the marks of tyrohood, but it need not bear those of puerility. So it was that the pages of the magazine were filled with personal experiences with the masters of literature and the other forms of art, personal changes induced by the masters of thought, personal views of the world of social, political and economic change. While the student may not-and probably is not-competent to add his words of critical wisdom to the appraisal of Chesterton or Belloc, Mozart or Schubert, he is competent to report his own reactions to them and others, and if that reporting be personal and vivid, his contribution is real. It was this fact more than any other which made possible the use of undergraduate material without forcing a lowering of literary standards, and the very nature of the writing and of the writers induced an appeal to the student body that had vl06v never before been achieved, an appeal that was made effective by a Conclave subsidy which enabled the editors to distribute copies of the magazines free to the student body. V The result was a circulation of 1,500 copies for each of the four issues. A four-issue year in itself is an innovation, for this was the Hrst time that contributions came in such quantity and quality as to warrant the extra one. Highlights of those four issues are difficult to determine, but the outstanding con- tributions were, perhaps, marked by Donald Gallagher's Adventure in Belief, an article that attracted widespread laudatory comment, Society and the Modern Man by Iames Vaughn, professor of philosophy at Fordham University, a most unusual article for any collegiate magazine, Challenge, Thomas Neill's prize-winning essay in the Inter- collegiate English Contest, Go to Thomas, the prize-winning Gilfillan Catechetical essay also by Gallagher , and Arnold Lunn's short contribution in the last issue. There was, however, not a single essay or review which did not deserve its place in the magazine. All were, of course, intensely Catholic, but student contributors have ceased to mouth the platitudes of their elders. Not all of the articles concerned themselves with the Literary Revival or with anything that might definitely be named a Youth Movement , imaginative writing, slashes in the direction of economics, serious questioning of the educational system and an espousal of the ideal of humanitarian education-these were a few of the more recent departures. And the magazine came in ever closer contact with the world for it. V Confirmation of this came in the form of praise by Thomas Woodstock, editor of the IJ7aZ! Street Joufvml, Dean 0'Sullivan of Marqriette, president of the National Catholic School Press Association, and others. True, The Fleur-de-Lis must even now go outside the walls of the University for the full measure of its praise, but that praise is forthcoming. 2+ 3 v Members of The Fleur-de- 1 Lis Staff. l Top row-Smith, K., ad- W vertising manager, Cor- ' ley, VV., Danes, business manager, and Schlich. lllffdle row - Durbin, O'Brien, P., Wilson, H. and Townsend. 107 v V Bollom row-Gannon, F., Burns, I., Kenney, L. and Coleman, R. ci 1' t 1 1 nt od fi ' ' ' was taken.

' elements which make up the University and through the industry and co-opera- tion of the student himself, the uninitiated freshman of a few years ago has been supplied with the intellectual tools with which he must carve his niche in the world. Neverthe- less, as the graduate passes for the last time beneath the portals of his alma mater, the bond between student and college is not completely severed. A part of the student has been left behind in the classrooms and corridors of the school and the student in turn has absorbed within himself a portion of his alma mater. Although the new alumnus may travel far and may lose his active interest in the University, the ties of affection are never loosedg it is the purpose of the Alumni Association to augment these ties and to keep the graduates of St. Louis University informed as to the activities of their school and of each other. MMEDIATELY upon graduation, the young scholar leaves the ranks of students V The better to accomplish this purpose, the St. Louis University Alumni News was founded in 1926. It was the first alumni magazine to be established at any Catholic college or university in the United States, and it has been published regularly since the first issue, although handicapped at the beginning of this year by the illness of Rev. William Ryan, SJ., faculty director and general secretary of the Alumni Association, who was confined in St. Iohn's Hospital for three months. The regular October issue of 1955 was replaced by a special Legionnaire edition, issued in September in honor of the American Legion Convention held in St. Louis. The Alumni News employed a more open-faced type this year than was formerly used and the magazine was presented with a more balanced structure. The feature articles, contributed by deans and regents of the University, by capable faculty members and by prominent alumni, were of the highest caliber. The articles concerning athletic activities, always interesting to alumni, were written by George A. Killenberg of the Athletic Department. Iohn T.

Thirteen years ago the maelstrom of modern sophistry, sapping morality and condoning excesses in the name of philosophy, inspired certain students of the University to institute a journal of scholastic philosophy through which the cardinal principles of their doctrine might be carried to the radical schools of thought then cropping up around them. V Their ideal has resulted in the publication of The Modern Schoolman, a quarterly journal of scholastic philosophy which in 1936 is presenting scholastic thought to hundreds of college students, professional men, teachers and laymen throughout the United States, England, Europe and even Asia. During the past year violent strife, stirring the political and social life of the Whole world, had its immediate reverberation upon philosophical thought. Acrid defenders of the Right and the Left-conservatism and revolt, orthodoxy and innovation-arose on all sides. In the midst of this confusion, accordingly, the first issue of The Modern Schoolman for 1956 was a symposium on The Radical Right, a clear statement of the scholastic stand on such live questions as the N. R. A. in politics, Agrarianism in sociology, Humanism in letters, and resurgent Catholicism in religion. The three following issues dealt with more or less abstract problems of thought treated in a modern way, but interpreted according to the age-old principles of the School. V The staff of The Modern Schoolman, students in the School of Philosophy and Science, was directed by Leonard A. Waters, SJ., editor, and Bernard Monks, SI., business manager. Rev. larnes A. McWilliams, SJ., director of the department of philosophy, served as faculty adviser. v109v .X , ' v THE DIRECTING TRIO p .. . . . who determine the fate uf.-V of The Historical Bulletin are Herbert H. Coulson, rigan, SJ., editor. isforica Liffetilz TEADY, ceaseless improvement has been the record of The Historical Bulletin since its foundation fourteen years ago. This year especially has proved the c value of the journal, for it has been received with favorable, often Hattering comment by outsiders, contributors have been eager to supply scholarly articles, for the first time the annual deficit has disappeared. V A banner number was that devoted to the Ianuary symposium on Church and State. Twelve selected writers, each a specialist in the subject assigned him, sent in able contributions. From North, South, East and West they came-from Rome, New York, Woodstock, Maryland, Chicago, Cleveland, Mobile-to say nothing of St. Louis University. Medieval theories, medieval practice, Gallicanism, Erastianism, Catholic liberalism and concordats, the Church in Hispanic America, in French America and in the United States, separation of Church and State, the Papacy and the League of Nations, and an American Philosophy of the State were the subjects treated. Financial limitations alone prevented a more elaborate display. The immediate reaction to this symposium was an increase in subscriptions and a demand for back numbers of the Bulletin. Early in the year, in response to frequent requests, the first two volumes of the Bulletin were mirneographed. These were soon ,disposed of, and now virtually all back numbers are at a premium. This would seem to augur well for the future, since it proves that readers are interested not merely in current issues but in preserving the material of permanent value that each issue contains. V New features of the Bulletin are articles of pedagogical import, bibliographical helps, and an increase in the number of books sent in for review. The enlistment of editorial aid and counsel from each of the seven Jesuit provinces of the United States is a final proof of the expansion and growth of this Catholic Quarterly for Teachers and Students of History, which carries the name of the University around the world. vll0v associate editor, Arthur Barth, SJ., business mana- ger, and Rev.

GREEK AND LATIN students find interesting n, published under the oi ' ection of Rev Iames A Kte assica uffefirz ITH the appearance of the Iune issue The Classical Bulletin will have com- pleted its twelfth year of service to classical scholars at home and abroad. Little by little it has built up an appreciative, enthusiastic reading public. More and more it is finding its way into the libraries of maj or universities where it serves as a valuable means of sustaining an active interest in the classics. When a new magazine is begun, it is generally begun in answer to a definite need. The Classical Bulletin is no exception. The English speaking world had long felt the need of a publication which would confine itself to the literary interpretation of the classics. To fill that need The Classical Bulletin was founded. It is a literary magazine recognizing in the ancient classics that universal appeal which is common to all great literature. Our own Shakespeare, our Milton, our Wordsworth, our Shelley and our Burke can never replace such names as Homer and Vergil, Aeschylus and Sophocles, Caesar and Horace. We have the chaste English of Newman, but we cannot forget the equally chaste Latin of Cicero upon which Newman built his style. The ancients were the founders and yet, somewhat conversely, the masters. V The Classical Bulletin feels that, wherever the classics are taught, these are the ideas which should be stressed. Consequently, it has dedicated itself to maintaining and reawakening interest in the classics as literature and life. How well it has succeeded is shown by the high esteem in which the paper is held by all truly literary men not only in the Americas, but in Europe and Asia as well.. The staff of The Classical Bulletin is composed of Rev. Iames A. Kleist, SJ., editor 5 Rev. Francis A. Preuss, SJ. and Rev. Aloysius A. Iacobsmeyer, SJ., of St. Stanislaus Seminary, associate editors, and Mr. Edward Gough, SJ., business editor. There are also a number of corresponding editors in various parts of the United States. vlllv D V + 3 v Dr. Ralph B Wagner tat leftj Director of Forensics, Professor of Expres- sion and Director of the Department. vlVlEMBERS OF THE INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATING SQUAD . . .

Cross, Law freshman, and Peter Ferrara, senior in the Law School. etatizzq APPY is the study which teaches the student pursuing it how to think, to reason, to grasp basic principles and to mold his knowledge according to those princi- ples, but more happy is the study which does all that while preparing the student in a practical manner to meet the problem of living after graduation. For it is patent that most university students must become self-supporting when they leave school. Debating trains the student both to think on his feet, to reason well and to adapt himself to widely different environments, to meet all classes of people, each on its own level. V A liberal education presupposes a wide acquaintance with knowledge in all its fields and implies the power to act on this knowledge. It consists, therefore, as Cardinal Newman wrote, In a comprehensive view of truth in all its branches, of the relations of science to science, of their mutual bearings, and their respective values. It would be absurd to claim that debating alone will produce an educated man, nevertheless it does more to effect the four-square man than any other single study. A good debater must know his subject thoroughly, he must be cognizant of all views on the question, he mustbe able to reason well and accurately , he must know his audience, have a working knowledge of practical psychology, he must be quick, adroit, clever, he must be honest, and above all he must be a gentleman.

This year Florida University met the University debaters in the Court Room ofthe Law School. vll2v f ff Q A tx-.. .I 4 -V, .. - , I , kj, A , 1 '- W V' A' ' 'li , ' ' 2 1 ' .1 ' xr I , W, , , A . v Edward O'Neill, Ir. tat rightj general student manager of forensics. ii' .-'ft K' 'lf A v MEMBERS OF THE IUNIOR DEBATING SQUAD . . . who participated in many intrasquad debates in St. Louis and environs, presenting two questions to thousands of interested listeners V That St. Louis University's forensic department does turn out such debaters is evidenced by the unusual success they have enjoyed for more than a dozen years, by the acclaim and the good will they have brought the University. Practical benefits are attested to by the prominent positions now held by men who just a few years ago were varsity debaters. Adapting itself to new conditions, the forensic department this year emphasized more than ever before that growing medium of communication, the radio. Seven debates on four different questions of the day were staged over various radio stations located in St. Louis and vicinity. Phone calls and letters received after each debate were testimony of the large audience in attendance upon each program. While most universities of the country were confining themselves to the inter- collegiate question That Congress Should Be Permitted, by a Two-Thirds Vote, to Override Decisions of the Supreme Court Declaring Federal Laws Unconstitutionalf' the St. Louis debaters were investigating and arguing four questions. Other topics for debate included socialized medicine, collective bargaining and drivers' license laws. Presented many times, these topics met with considerable favor throughout the city and surrounding territory. The debaters thus acquired an intimate knowledge of four of the most vital questions of the day. V Members of the debate squad were called upon many times during the year to give special talks on various subjects before civic and fraternal organizations in St. Louis. They also served as judges for high school debates and participated in the Leo Moser Oratorical Contest and the Extemporaneous Speaking Contest held in May. In the intercollegiate schedule, teams were met from California to Florida.

Most intercollegiate competition was encountered from colleges and universities in the immedi- ate neighborhood, according to a new plan of the forensic department by which it sought to promote relations with those schools in this district. Included on the intercollegiate schedule this year were Washington University, Concordia Theological Seminary, Iames Millikin University of Decatur, Ill., Illinois Wesleyan University of Bloomington, Ill., McKendree College of Lebanon, Ill. and Greenville College of Greenville, Ill.. V As in previous years, the debate squad was divided into two groups. Those who had completed two years of satisfactory work and thus were eligible for intercollegiate debate included Edward O'Neill, debate manager, Gerard Sandweg, William Nolan, Richard Cross, Peter Ferrara and Thomas Neill. Approximately thirty junior debaters comprised the underdivision squad which gave numerous intrasquad debates throughout the city. Alumni members from Sigma Lambda Upsilon, forensic honorary fraternity of the University, again participated in alumni extension debates on a number of questions pertaining to business. Their appeal was directed especially at program managers of sales and industrial organizations. This alumni debating unit is probably the only such organization of its kind in this country. Sigma Lambda Upsilon also promoted interest in high school debating by fostering and promoting the organization of a Catholic debate league in St. Louis. The fraternity inaugurated a policy this year of awarding honorary keys to those debaters who com- pleted a definite routine of intercollegiate competition with a satisfactory degree of excel- lence. These keys were presented at the banquet held early in May. Those who received these keys automatically become eligible for membership in Sigma Lambda Upsilon. V Dr. Ralph B. Wagner, director of forensics and head of the department of speech, held classes every Saturday in which his debaters exchanged views and informations on the questions under discussion. Dr. VVagner was assisted in training his men by Rev. William Engelen, SJ., who coached them in the use of logic, psychology and forms vll4v v DR. RALPH B. WAGNER . . . addresses one of his expression classes from which many clebaters and student speakers are drawn . . .

AND SO WE SEE, LADIES AND GENTLEIVTENH . . . says Gerald Koetting, junior debater who explains his arguments to fellow forensic participants as they gather to exchange views on their topic of debate. of reasoning. Dr. Wagner some years ago established the policy of intrasquad debates before civic organizations, a plan which has since been adopted by many other universi- ties. He specializes in the audience type of debate as contrasted with the tournament style. According to the audience type, special cognizance is taken of the listeners who must be sold or held by one team or another. In keeping with this plan, audience decisions were rendered wherever possible. This plan of debating has met with wide approval and is being adopted by other schools throughout the Middle West. V O'Neill, senior Law student, debate manager, and his assistants handled the arrange- ments of the intercollegiate schedule, as well as all intrasquad debates. The faculty council and alumni members of the squad also sat in at several sessions and aided in the general training and instruction of the squad. The forensics banquet, the culminating event of the year for debaters is held in May. It is attended by the entire squad, alumni debaters, members of the faculty council and the director of forensics and his staff. At this dinner awards are made for individual achievements of the year, the student administrative staff for the coming year is announced, the graduating members are honored, and the president of the University makes his annual address to the student debaters. The director of forensics also makes his report to the president on the activities of his department during the year. Definitely this is a training that combines both the liberal and practical aspects of education. It not only informs the student on many practical subjects, but it trains him in processes of reasoning, of detecting fallacies and refuting them. But most of all it cultivates in the student the ability to appear in public, to express his own opinion to others. This training is invaluable, and it can be obtained only through practice, through actual participation in extra-mural appearances before all types of people. V Thus is cultivated the most important medium of expression and communication of thought-speech, and thus is the student given the opportunity of perfecting himself while preparing for his future life. Thus is he enabled to lay the foundation for a useful, active life in which he can effect those ideals learned in school. vll5v KYLJ Q24 B, Q, 65 N Q ,ff N 4? N...

Muellerleile, head football coach, and Carl Pike, assist- tant football coach. N continuation and expansion of the New Deal in athletics for St. Louis University, the entire program of last year's athletics was retained with the addition of two new sports, begun this year by Athletic Director Cecil E. Muellerleile. Football, basketball, golf, tennis, baseball and intramural athletics were spon- sored once again, while ice hockey and track became University sports only this year. Football, the most important sport from the viewpoint of coaches and students alike, could not be classified as an outstanding success, while the basketball season must be termed nothing more than mediocre. However, both teams did at times perform brilliantly to show what could be done, especially with the support and encouragement of the entire student body. The other sports were still more or less in the experimental stage, but nevertheless they emerged with their share of success for the year. The intramural program continued its enlarged schedule of athletic activities and competition within the school itself, while at the same time undertaking the promotion of an interesting and successful Sports Carnival for the benefit and preservation of its athletic program. V The football coaching staff was once again composed of former St. Louis University football stars, with Cecil Muellerleile, ex-center, as head coach and Carl Pike, quarterback on Billiken teams of past years, as assistant. James Duby, senior Commerce student, served once again as equipment manager. Pre-season expectations for the Blue and White gridders were no doubt fulhlled, as the team opened the first half of its schedule with unexpected strength. Even in the latter part of the campaign as the Billikens opposed superior teams, well-founded hopes for success, based on the actual strength of the team and not on excep- tional achievement, were realized. Perhaps the brightest spot of the past season was the play of juniors and sophomores, who were given every chance to show their ability. if awk. rf. .. . f r a..

V With Coach Mike Nyikos in his eighth consecutive year as leader of the Blue and White cage team, the quintet finished with a record of one game under the .500 mark. With the loss of four of the five regulars from the 1954-55 squad, considerably hampering the chances for a brilliant season, Nyikos was forced to find a winning combination from a group boasting only one veteran and two reserve lettermen. However, the team did start its schedule with unex- pected success, but the lack of sufficient reserve material, which hindered the squad throughout the entire season, soon had its effect on the ultimate outcome of all the games, especially during the period when the contests were scheduled close upon one another. Participants in track and hockey gained much-needed experience while reaping little actual success in competition. Ed Hall, former Kansas track star, guided the cincler squad during the season besides coaching the freshman football team, while Dr. Vernon Bourke, instructor of philosophy at the University, coached the hockey team during its campaign. The track team's program consisted of three relays, three dual meets and participation in the All-Collegiate St. Louis Relays. Dr. Bourke entered his squad in the St. Louis Amateur Hockey League where it finished in a tie for third place with Washington University. . V Intramural athletics were once more under the supervision of Walter C. Eberhardt, instructor in physical education at the Uni- versity, who was assisted by Larry Mullen and Harry Neill, sopho- mores in the College of Arts and Sciences. Publicity for the Sports Carnival, as well as all other publicity of Billiken athletics was under the direction of George Killenberg, freshman in the School of Educa- tion. Bob Bauman served again this year as trainer for all University athletics. vl27v v Top lo b0llonz- T.

URPRISES, both pleasant and unpleasant, marked the 1955 campaign of the Billiken gridders in their second successive season under the tutelage of Coach Cecil E. Muellerleile. Not by the widest stretch of imagination could the season be termed very successful so far as victories were concerned, but in the matter of spirit and harmony, two qualities sadly lacking in the 1954 outfit, the Bills surprised even their fondest admirers. V Hampered throughout by the inexperience of his material, Muellerleile and his assistant, Carl Pike, another former Royal Blue hero, deserve to be praised for the team's showing in the early fall, and the fight and determination, regardless of the score, that the Blue and White displayed at all times. Qpen football, in its widest sense, featured the Billiken play during the opening half of the schedule, but for some unexplained reasons, the lateral and forward, passes were packed away, and for the remainder of the campaign, the Bills were content to confine their attack to a series of line plunges and simple end runs. Without verging on the trite, it is a readily admitted fact that Muellerleile will be well-stocked in good football players for the 1956 season, since only three men, Capt. Harold Hudson, Carl Wood, and Henry Red Krause, leave because of graduation, and Bill Cochran and Charley Harris were the only stars to fall by the way- side after the mid-year examinations. To supplant the loss of these men, Mull has a promising group of freshmen coming up, headed by Mel McGonnigle, who seems entirely capable of outshining even the memorable Benny La Presta. ST.

Harold Hudson started the ball rolling in the early minutes of the first quarter by counting two touchdowns, one on a long pass from Carl Wood, the other on a short plunge. It was the-'same Wood who featured a second half scoring spree by racing 70 yards for the opening marker of that period. Norm Kloepper and Punchy Harris added six points each before a host of substitutes took up the comparatively easy task of holding the Southerners for the remainder of the contest. ST. LOUIS O-CREIGHTON 15 V A second surprise was in store for Billiken fans when the Mullmen journeyed to Omaha and lost to an underrated Creighton eleven, 15 to 0. Passes played an important role in the Nebraskans' victory for both scores came through the medium of the aerial route. q Marchie Schwartz's boys began in earnest on the very first play when a long forward placed the oval on the Bill's twelve-yard line. However, the Blue and White line braced and Drone kicked out of danger. A few moments later the same pass play was repeated, Klem to Bokmuller, for a touchdown and six points. Kloepper's quick kick was blocked in the third stanza and Creighton recovered deep in the Royal Blue territory. Two passes from that place resulted in the second and luckily for the Bills the last touchdown for the Omahans. v Lou Drone, Royal Blue quarterback, runs interference for Carl Wood, fleet halfback, in the Marquette game.

LoU1s 57-KIRIKSVILLE O V Kirksville's streak of 57 consecutive football victories was abruptly smashed by the rampant Billikens, who ran roughshod over the Down-Staters, 57 to 0 before 6,000 spectators. Scoring in every quarter, the Mullmen piled up six touchdowns against a team that had been favored. Les Cagle, an end, led the parade with two scores, while Capt. Hudson, Drone, Kloepper, and Mitchell also crossed the Teachers' line. An intercepted lateral pass in the first quarter gave the Bills first blood as Cagle raced 40 yards to ring up a lead that the locals never relinquished. The game became a rout in the last half as the Blue and White threw one successful pass after another. Nunn and Hemp were on the tossing end of most of them while the ends, Cagle and Mitchell evaded the secondary time and again to catch the heaves in the open. ST. LoU1s 38-ROLLA 0 V Continuing their winning ways, the Mullmen made short work of the Miners from Rolla as they passed and ran their way to a very convincing 58 to 0 triumph. The game, termed just a breather before the tough Marquette contest, proved to be ust that as six different Billiken backs ran wild to chalk up scores. Kloepper, Harris, Wood, Hemp, Hermanny and Vieth were the boys who registered the touchdowns. ra t i v Lefzf fo rzyhf-Lou D ne 3 Louis Ben Putnam back, St. Louis. v 150 v Gus Cianciolo, tackle, St.Louis, a dNo Kloepper, jun if-ci v Leff io rzzglzl -,Ralp Hemp, junior halfback St. Louis, Ray Neff, junior end, Metropolis, Ill.g Ioh Barbaglia, seni i Herrin, Ill., and Ed Baker, junior tae l S v lack Charbonneau, powerful Noclak back, tears through the Billiken line as Dave Ruhl, Royal Blue end, dives for the tackle.

ST. LOUIS 15-MARQUETTE 20 Marquette's greatly heralded Golden Avalanche proved slightly disappointing to the ll,000 grid fans who witnessed its rather lucky 20 to 15 last minute victory over the fighting Billikens, who thrilled their adherents by outplaying the same eleven that triumphed over such teams as Kansas State, Wisconsin, Michigan State, and Mississippi. V f The Mullmen electrified the huge crowd and startled the Northerners by the suddenness of their first touchdown which was scored after but three minutes of play in the opening quarter, when Iohnny Nunn threw a long pass to Wood, who made a miracle catch while running full speed in the end zone. Frank Murray's boys soon overcame the deficit and had a seven-point lead late in the final stanza when a forward to Drone was allowed for interference. On the next play, Drone went around end from the five-yard line for the score. Harris' successful place-kick knotted the count, but it all went for naught when k e, St. Loui . vl5lv v A free ball in the second half ofthecreighton game at Omaha.

LOUIS 47-ARKANSAS STATE 7 V After scoring three touchdowns in the opening ten minutes, the Billiken regulars were given a much-deserved rest as the reserves went on to humble the Arkansas State College gridders from Jonesboro with an overwhelming 46 to 7 Victory. A Although outclassed, the Southerners managed to collect a total of 12 first downs, mainly through the medium of the forward pass, while the best the locals could make was 21. One particular highlight of the game was the scintil- lating play of Red Hemp, who seemed like a backfield in himself. Frank Kane and Buddy Diffley among the reserves also played fine football, while Cunning- ham and Adams gathered what limelight they could for State. ST.

Within tive minutes of the starter's whistle, the Southerners rang up their first score when Rodgers slid off his own right tackle and scampered untouched across the goal line while the dazed Billikens were still attempting to locate the ballcarrier. V This same procedure was repeated on a number of occasions in the second half but somehow the Mississippians could count only 21 points. The St. Louisans in the closing minutes salvaged some consolation when they put across their lone touchdown. ST.

Then Les Cagle, towering end, intercepted a lateral pass and galloped 65 yards for a touchdown, but after that the Bill gridders remained as if hypno- tized and could do nothing further in an offensive manner. Charbonneau proved to be the big hero for the Nodaks when he cut and slashed the big Blue and White line to pieces as he drove to a touchdown g a minute later, he kicked the all important extra point. ST. LOUIS O-XAVIER 15 Playing better football, but collapsing at crucial points, the Mullmen dropped their third straight when they permitted Xavier U. from Cincinnati to emerge from the slush and slime of Walsh Stadium with a 15 to 0 verdict before 4,000 rain-drenched spectators. V The game itself was practically devoid of thrills, save for the two excursions of the Qhioans across the Blue and White goal in the third quarter.

It was a sorrowful occasion for the 100 students and their dads who, after attending Alpha Sigma Nu's annual affair, were forced to sit in the rain and see the Billikens humbled. ST. Louis 6-DEPAUL 0 V The Billikens suddenly recovered from their lethargy and at the same time enhanced their chances of gaining a victory over Washington when they eventually outsmarted the DePaul Demons of Chicago to the tune of 6 to O in the huge Soldiers' Field Stadium in the Windy City. After playing a scoreless game of footloall for three periods, the Mullmen finally broke the ice when Mule Kloepper, the pudgy fullback, cracked across for the touchdown on a short plunge. , af' , , , 1' ' ' .

V The contest was in the main a kicking duel with Drone of the Blue and White squad decidedly outshining Loess of DePaul. Forward passes were at a premium, since but four were completed during the afternoon. A pleasing aspect of the play of the Billikens was the pass defense that they threw up against the numerous Demon heaves, knocking down or intercepting all but two of some thirty tosses. ST. LoU1s 0-WASHINGTON 26 The bullet-passing of Ioe Bukant and the snake hips of Bounding Bob Hudgens proved too great a handicap for the baffled Mullmen as they bowed to the Washington University Bears for the second consecutive year. The Bears celebrated Turkey-Day by trouncing their city rivals by a 26 to 0 score. Eager to start the game in an impressive manner, the Bruins caught the Billikens flat-footed on the third play of their first set of downs when Bukant began his aerial maneuvers. A few minutes later, Iimmy Counzelman's boys had their first touchdown when Hudgens got in the clear and caught Bukant's pass. V Here the Bills came back with a strong offense, but to no avail.

The Mullmen made their best showing in the second quarter when they punctured the Washington defense to reach the Bears' twenty-yard line on a number of occasions, only to lose the ball on downs when forward passes would fall incomplete. V Continuing the rout in the second half, the Hilltoppers counted twice more on Droke's run around end from the eight-yard line, and Wimberly's long pass to Hudgens. For the remainder of the game the Bear reserves held the opponents safe. Playing their last game for the Blue and White, Capt. Hudson, Carl Wood, and the always reliable Red Krause gave their best. In addition, Drone and Rossini put up their customary fine exhibition, while Dick Fitzgerald played a commendable defensive game at end. For the Bears, Iezzi and Co-captains Zybi- oski and Droke, helped Bukant and Hudgens to smother the Billikens by four touchdowns.

In spite of this record, Coach Nyikos and his basketeers are to be congratulated for victories over such teams as Marquette, Loyola of Chicago, Missouri and Centenary, inasmuch as the team suffered greatly from the loss of four of the five men who led the Blue and White to the city and state titles in the season of 1954-55.

Finch for the second consecutive season, with the added incentive of being the sole major sport in which some of the Billiken glory, eclipsed by Washington in football and basketball, might be resurrected. Inauguration of baseball as a major sport of the University last year after it had been dropped from the sports curriculum at the close of the 1928 campaign was the highlight of Athletic Director Cecil F.. Mueller- leile's athletic expansion policy. One of Muellerleile's first moves was to establish Robert L. Finch, business manager of the Athletic Department, as director of the University's baseball -activities. Finch is an enthusiastic follower of the diamond sport and well versed in coaching. While attending Drake University, he played three years of varsity baseball, captaining the Drake nine in his senior year. He performed brilliantly at all positions in the infield except first base. Following his graduation he played semi-pro baseball in Nebraska and Kansas, later serving as mentor of a semi-pro aggregation in Kansas City. Last year the diamond sport was not instituted until late in March, and, consequently, Coach Finch had little time to organize a powerful team, with the resulting poor record of six victories, nine losses and one tie. V Nine lettermen, back from his ill-starred 1955 squad, prompted Finch to wax enthusiastic over the coming season. Louis Drone, Herbert F ash, Ralph Hemp, Henry Krause, Iames Mason, Iohn McDonald, Vincent Paino, Iames Robinson and Carl Wood are the monogram-winners on the squad for the second time. Fash with a .586 per- centage, L. Drone with .546 and Paino with .526, were the only hitters among the regulars to finish the season above the .500 mark and are back for this season. Of the returning lettermen, Drone, F ash, Hemp, Mason, Paino, Robinson and Wood are infielders and Krause and McDonald, outhelders. These veteran candidates fortified strongly all the positions except the pitching and catching berths. The pitching, especially, suffered through the graduation of Dirksen, Flanigan, and Fincher, all hurling stars of the first rank. To remedy this need Finch .devoted his entire efforts early in the spring drills to the location of new material and brought forward Martin Rossini, a reserve of last campaign, Carl Yates and Roy Scott for the mound duties. By uncovering Ed Drone, brother of the veteran infielder, Lou, - 4 vl44v HQ v COMING v GOING : . . down the alley.

Completes his swing. and converting Carl Wood, husky infielder into a capable backstop, he completed his catching staff. V Seasoned candidates, however, did not monopolize the positions in the inner and outer defenses, as the newcomers, Sid Mudd, Earl Peil, and Iustin Schuchat, have made their presence felt and, at this writing appear virtually certain of sharing duties with the veterans, if not playing regularly. The regular lineup for the 1956 contests, according to Coach Finch, will probably be Fash at first base, Lou Drone on second base, Paino at shortstop, Mudd on third base, Krause in left, McDonald in center, Peil in right, Wood behind the plate and either Scott or Yates as the pitcher. Mason, Robinson and Hemp will be reserve infielders, Schuchat, substitute outfielder, and Rossini, relief pticher. Inclement weather, which severely handicapped the 1955 crew, was not a detriment to this season's Royal Blue nine, and therefore, Coach Finch has had an opportunity to round his team into perfect condition for the opening contests of the 1956 campaign. lntra-squad tilts were a weekly feature of the early drills, although the experienced eye of Finch kept watch that the players might not injure their throwing arms in the chilly March winds. Finch has been handicapped not a little by the presence of many of his stellar per- formers at spring football drills. Finch, himself, realizes that it is a physical impossibility for members of his squad to practice baseball regularly and at the same time to engage in that most testing of endurance grinds, spring grid practice. Thus, Coach Finch has struggled along, using only the most brilliant of the football playing candidates in games. Finch, moreover, in a desire to produce the best possible club from the available material, has stated that failure of gridders to attend early baseball workouts will not in any way affect their chances of making the nine. V 1n order to test his entire club before the season's opener, the baseball mentor booked two practice tilts with Beaumont High School of the City League, and, although, as might be expected, the Billikens easily trounced their younger opponents, Finch obtained valuable information concerning the conduct of his charges under actual fire. This pair of encounters was featured by the hurling of Scott and Yates and the hitting of two newcomers to the varsity nine, Mudd and Peil. To further evaluate his available talent, another practice tussle was arranged with the powerful McBride nine of the Preparatory League. The final practice game tilt before the collegiate baseball season formally opened was scheduled with the strong Hellrung and Grimm team, which barely eked out a 5 to 2 verdict over the 1955 varsity. r v145v if 4' Lefi lo I'l:QflfmH6Fb Fash, senior infielder, East St. Louis, Ill.g john lVlcDonald, senior outfielder, St. Louis, Iames Mason, senior infielder, St. Louis, Lou Drone, junior infielder, St. Louis, and Vincent Paino, junior infielder, Fort Smith, Ark. Last year's series with Washington, although starting off as though the Billikens far outclassed the West End nine, ended rather disastrously for the Blue and White. ln their first intercollegiate baseball contest ineight years the Bills romped to victory behind the splendid pitching of Fincher, 7 to 5, on the Washington U. field. A squeeze play in the ninth inning deadlocked the second fray, robbed Dirksen of what appeared to be a certain victory, and left the game, also played on the Washington field, tied when darkness called a halt. ln the next tilts, played on the St. Louis field, the Hilltoppers overcame the Royal Blue outfit, 7-0 and 16-7 to take the edge in the season's play, two games to one. V Placing of the baseball team in competition with major colleges, such as members of the Big Ten Conference, is prevented by the lack of an inclosed baseball field. - The Billiken baseball team is forced either to play its games away from home, or meet its opponents on home grounds, a diamond in Forest Park. The baseball grounds directly across from Walsh Stadium in the park is the scene both of Bill practices and contests in which St. Louis is the host nine. The 1955 aggregation played but one out-of- town game, losing to Kirksville. The scarcity of road contests last year was due, perhaps, to the fact that baseball was officially made a major sport late in March. This season, although the list of diamond encounters has not been com- pleted at this writing, home-and-home games have been arranged for the Royal Blue nine with Illinois State Normal College of Augustana, Ill., Illinois State Teachers' College of Williamsville, Ill. and Missouri University at Columbia, Mo. V Intercollegiate tussles to the number of 17 have been booked, and it is expected that several more extensive road trips will be added when Coach Finch completes the schedule.

Coach Finch hope to schedule a battle with the Alumni, in order to avenge last year's defeat at the hand of the old grads.

IYFLCL RACK, an extinct and forgotten sport at the University for the last twenty-two years, was revived this year under the direction of Coach Ed Hall, former cinder star at Kansas University. Uver forty candidates reported during the season for daily practice, but it was evident that the lack of proper training facilities at the outset of the campaign considerably hampered the success of the squad in its initial year of activity. V Coach Hall, while a student at Kansas University, distinguished himself in track work, and after graduation maintained his interest in the sport by coaching at his Alma Mater. With the gradual expansion of the athletic program of the University by Athletic Director Cecil Muellerleile, track was listed as a new sport for the 1956 season, and Hall was signed as coach after his successful efforts at Kansas were recognized by the athletic office. Issuing his first call for candidates in late Ianuary, Hall was considerably handi- capped by the fact that his athletes were forced to confine their training workouts to the gymnasium where the basketball team was still practicing. To add to his worries, a relay race was already scheduled with Washington University for the second week in February as an added feature to the Women's National Track Meet in the Arena. After such short practice, the relay team, consisting of Eberle, Wilson, Wolken and Pierce, was selected, and proved its worth by easily defeating the Washington relay men. The team also competed in the all-collegiate St. Louis Relays at the Municipal Auditorium later in the indoor season. As was expected by the coach, the team failed to gain any points, but the experience resulting was invaluable in later contests. V Because of the inexperience of his tracksters, Hall considered it the wiser plan to limit the number of meets this year. Following this program, the new track mentor arranged a tentative schedule calling for relay races with Kansas, Butler and Drake Universities, and dual meets with Washington University, Rolla School of Mines and Concordia Seminary. vl48v B + . V Of the forty-odd men who reported for practice daily, Hall picked several to specialize in certain events. The sprints, relays and jumps were handled by Eberle, Pierce, Wilson, Wvolken and Tinterra, while Eckburg, Hoge and Keller specialized in the high and low hurdles. McShane, Schrock and Keenoy gave most of their time to the distance runs. The field events were taken care of mainly by football men: Kloepper, Cagle and Yates put the shot, Barbaglia and Best joined Mitchell and Hartman in hurling the discus and javelin. Delayed by cold weather and the late arrival of the track equipment, the Billikens were forced to postpone the actual outdoor practice until comparatively late in the season. This delay caused no little handicap for the Blue and White tracksters, since it necessitated a long wait for the much needed practice on the actual cinders and in the open, in place of the indoor work on a cement footing. This, coupled with the fact that Walsh Stadium, the scene of the outdoor track activity, is not provided with a suitable running track, proved quite a stumbling block to Coach Hall's plans. However, this latter obstacle is soon to be removed, as plans are now under consideration for constructing a new oval track at Walsh Stadium, which, when completed, will provide six running lanes 500 meters long. If such plans are realized, the University will be able to handle adequately any competitive meets it may wish to schedule, besides providing excellent facilities for future Billiken track aspirants. V Despite these handicaps, Coach Hall and his Billikens went right ahead with their intensive practice sessions in preparation for the contests which marked the remainder of the outdoor schedule. Using his newly formed relay team as a nucleus, Hall added one event after another until he had rounded out a fairly versatile group capable of handling the required tests. Especially pleasing was the manner in which the field-man developed, for at the beginning of the season they were but potential stars, with enough power but lacking in the important requisite of form, which is so essential in all track activity. All in all, Coach Hall and his men are to be congratulated for the success they have achieved and especially for the progressive spirit they continued to show during the entire season. V Late in April, Coach Hall and his picked group of eight tracksters journeyed to Lawrence, Kan., to take part in the famed Kansas Relays. The presence of such greats of the track world as Glenn Cunningham, world champion miler, lay Berwanger, Chicago University's one-man football team, and Glenn Morris, present holder of the world decathlon record, spurred the Billikens to splendid performances. Although they were unable to register any points against such superior competition, several of the Blue and White stars gave their best performances of the season. Bob Wilson, crack Billiken quarter-miler, recorded his fastest 440-yard dash when he circled the Kansas oval in a fraction more than 50 seconds. Charles Malloy, the promising freshman distance runner, was right with the leaders in the steeplechase event when he unfortunately slipped on the water jump and was forced to drop out of the race with a sprained ankle. The relay teams, while failing to place, showed a greatly improved form in handling the baton. vl49v Q 4 Vi Ah' v l A J QF ffl 'ix .gk ,.., . . ,.,, , , f X X' ea qi ' V A .

H66 WUC Cdy CE HOCKEY was introduced into the athletic schedule of St. Louis University with the opening of the second semester. Dr. Vernon Bourke, instructor in philosophy at the University, was obtained to teach the candidates the funda- mentals of the game. Dr. Bourke received his experience in ice hockey while attending school in Toronto, Canada, where he starred on the hockey team. Director of Athletics Cecil E. Muellerleile procured the use of the St. Louis Arena for practice and games. An amateur league, composed of teams representing St. Louis U., Washington U., and two amateur clubs which have been playing in this city for the past few seasons, the Octopus and the Watch and Ward Club, was formed. The Octopus and Watch and Ward teams, comprised of men who had played hockey while at college in the East, had quite a margin over the two university teams in age and experience. At the completion of the schedule in which the various teams met each other four times, making a total of twelve games played by each club, the Octopus aggregation came out on top closely followed by the Watch and Ward group. V In the games played between Washington and St. Louis, the Blue and White took the first game by a score of 5 to 2, the Hilltoppers took the second by the same score 5 the third was a tie, with neither team able to score a goal against the other, and Washing- ton won the fourth by a score of 2 to 0. The final game between the two universities was played the same evening on which the St. Louis Flyers opposed the Tulsa Oilers, and was witnessed by about 6,500 persons. Of those who composed the University squad, many were members of the football team, with the most outstanding being Purcell, Wood, Ruhl, Hartman and Rossini. Although almost one third of the squad will be lost through graduation, Coach Bourke is looking forward to a stronger team next season, owing to the number of promising freshman candidates and sophomores who profited by their experience this season. c v THREE STARS . . . Purcell, Hartman and Ruhl. Their play was a high spot in a fairly successful season. Hartman was the goal-tender, while Ruhl was a wingman and Purcell a defenseman. ' vl50v + 33 fa during emzis THOUGH hampered by cold weather and wet grounds, the Blue and White tennis team completed one of the most successful seasons in the history of the University. Prior to this year the tennis team consisted merely of one or two men r presenting the University in local competition and was not, in the true sense of the word, regarded as representative of a University sport. However, this year under the guidance of Athletic Director Cecil E. Muellerleile, this sport was enrolled in the list of major sports, and matches were scheduled with the leading universities in the district. Although the outlook at the start of the season was extremely dark, each new practice raised higher the gloomy curtain, and before the season was completed success was apparent. V After several weeks of practice, a tournament was held. The victors in these contests were chosen to form the starting combination. Frank Keaney, captain and star netster, was lost to the team for the first few weeks because of a leg injury received in the final basketball game of the season and was forced to guide the activity of his men from the sidelines. Mark Martin, former junior district champion, was late in rounding into shape but proved a valuable asset to the team in the latter half of the schedule. Larry Mullen was the first of the racqueteers to engage in actual competition when he fought his way to the semifinal round of the district tournament staged at Washington University in the early part of May. Other men who played active roles on this year's squad were Al Eberle, star of many local tournaments, Iohn McCarthy, graduate of the Christian Brothers' High School courts, and Cornelius MacDonald, former local high-school luminary. The team will continue its activity during the summer months by engaging in a number of local meets and by matching its skill with that of out-of-town clubs. This added experience in actual competition coupled with the fact that every member of this year's squad will be eligible to compete again next year should point to an excep- tionally bright prospect for the team of 1957. v PRACTICE . . . indoor or outdoor, makes for tennis perfection.

T E. Muellerleile, Walter C. Eberhardt, director of sical education, has enlarged the scope of intra- mural athletics by introducing badminton, golf and tennis to the already extensive program. Eberhardt inaugurated intramurals five years ago, and each year has attempted to enlarge the program of the preceding year in order that more students, not able to participate either on the freshman or varsity teams, might have the opportunity to engage in some type of competitive sport. In this way every student has the chance to supplement his intellectual training with a systematized scheme of physical training. V In pursuing this aim, Eberhardt has formed intra- mural leagues in each sport. These teams are com- posed of 25 men who have received neither freshmen numerals nor a varsity letter in the sport in which they are competing. Individual medals and team trophies have been awarded to the winners in each sport to encourage active participation on the part of all students. This year the intramural program has enjoyed one of the largest followings in many seasons. Eberhardt is confident that many students have benefited through the inauguration of the new sports and that thedincreased following has fully justified the introduction of these sports. The University maintains that the individual should not be a mere storehouse of knowledge, but that this knowledge should be founded upon a healthy body which will be able to v152v 3 ..4, 2- Q .

The University is assured that this purpose is realized through the physical training offered the student in intramural sports. GALA SPORTS CARNIVAL Probably the outstanding achievement of the intra- mural department this year was a gigantic sports carnival presented on Mar. 20 before an exceptionally large and enthusiastic crowd which viewed for the first time ten entirely different sports under one roof on the same night. Eberhardt and his student man- agers were able to obtain the services of the outstand- ing local stars in football, golf, boxing, archery, bad- minton, table tennis, bicycling, wrestling, horse shoe pitching and gymnastic work. V The fine points of golf were presented by lohnny Manion of Sunset, lack Burns of Creve Coeur and Ben Richter from Triple A. These leading golfers demonstrated trick shots which required not only a maximum of skill but also uncanny accuracy and steady nerves. Richter, left-handed pro, faced Burns, who swings from the right side, and together they drove a number of balls in rapid succession. The gymnastic work was demonstrated by the North St. Louis Gym Club, Concordia Turner Hall, Tower Grove Gym Society, and the South West Gym Club. Their performance was received with much enthusiasm, and Schrumm of the North St. Louis Society, winner of many gymnastic meets, gave a finished exhibition on the parallel bars. The pyramid building and hand balancing brought cheers from the spectators, while a heated battle in table tennis between Bill Price and QCD COOL YVATER the University pool ex- welcome to swimmers. v CONTRASTING SHOTS demonstrated by participants in the intramural sports of court and table. ' were ei BOXING AND VOLLEYBALL the leading at- e University Mark Schulde proved of great interest. Iimmy Anderson and his crew provide' high spots in wrestling. Anderson revealed some of the tricks employed in this f sport, and the match between two of his star performers possessed all the thrills regulation bout. i A V Lee Gamber, two time holder of the international archery title and possess the world's record for the York Round, shot from 100, 80 and 60 yards, and Mrs. 4 Mudd, national women's champion, joined him in the exhibition. In the initial event of the evening the varsity basketball team defeated the disc ized alumni by a score of 29 to 19, and thus convinced the graduates that the sta today are equally as good as the stars of yesterday. The lack of practice told he on the poorly conditioned alumni and although their ball-handling and floor-worl good, they were not able to keep pace with the fleet-footed varsity cagers. The Sports Carnival bids fair to become an annual event at St. Louis Unive being the means by which intramural athletic expenses of the season can be met. hardt intends to use the proceeds of the Carnival to purchase new equipment an tend the scope of intramural activity to include new sports next year. BASKETBALL V Basketball, the most popular intramural sport, was divided into two league: National and the American, with each league composed of five teams representin various schools ofthe University. After a furious struggle between the Three Two team, representing the Dental School, and the C dl F freshmen, the Dents out in the American league and thus obtained the right to play Delta Nu Frate the winner in the National league. The playoff series aroused much inter-school ri' and because of this added interest the players of both teams fought exceptionally The first game of this two-out-of-three series was finally won by Delta Nu, 24-f one of the most unusual battles ever staged on a university court. Both teams en, vl54v K Q 4 X! 9 as in rough tactics and the outcome resembled a football game in place of the pre-arranged basketball contest. The Dents protested the game and the protest was granted, so it became necessary to play two more games to settle the intramural basketball champion- ship, for in the following game Delta Nu was again able to solve 'the defense of the sturdy Dents and emerged with an easy victory. In the final and deciding game the boys engaged in a heated battle and after forty minutes of well-played basketball the fraternity team marched off with the intramural basketball crown. Last year, Pi Kappa Epsilon, inter- school fraternity, won the basketball championship, beating out the present champs in a closely fought game. HANDBALL V A group of veterans comprised the enrollment for the annual handball tournament as McDonald, winner of last year's tournament, Mullen, runner-up, and Mason and 0'Connor, who had advanced to the semi-finals, were given seeded positions. Besides these stars, Oates, Schmidt, Kloepper, Eberle, Woods and Kistner, all veterans of several years of competition were given choice places. 1 The tournament was run off smoothly and there were very few upsets in the first and second rounds. However, in the third round such stars as Schmidt, Eberle, Erasina, Oates and Kloepper were eliminated by a number of dark horses. Three of the four seeded players reached the semi-finals and apparently the managers of the tournament knew their rnen. Brumby, Law student, was the real dark horse as he advanced to the semi-Hnals by defeating Schmidt, Eberle and Kistner, all of whom were seeded. V To complete the competitive intramural program, the three sports of the late school year, track, indoor and swimming were made the basis of final competition between the contesting teams. The swimming meet was held in the latter part of April at the Uni- versity pool in the Gymnasium. Indoor baseball competition was provided in a round vl55v v GOLF AND TRACK . ...callforthn eosp ticipants when the e .,--f- ' ' permits outdoo 1 3622 Q4 WALTER C EBERHARDT v PERFECT BALANCE v THE BOUN CIN G BALL d cto ofthe t mural program, . . . is here displayed by members of . . .knows no closed seaso s de ot e tes h s k ll on the parallel the intramural tumbling team. gf the four-wall courts are e ence. robin tournament which included nine teams. The games were played in the quadrangle of the University. The intramural track meet, held in the first week of May, took place on the Christian Brothers' High School track and was a successful climax to a satisfactory yearly program. V Swimming also occupied an important part of the freshmen physical education class. All freshmen are required, unless excused by a doctor, to take the introductory course in physical education. One of the most important parts of this course is learning how to swim-at least well enough to conduct oneself safely through the minimum re- quirements of rudimentary swimming. Advanced swimming classes studied the technique of life-saving. Indoor, as usual, attracted the largest number of contestants. Games were played during afternoons after classes in the Administration Building Quadrangle. As the in- door tournament started, the Football indoor ten entered the lists as heavy favorites. This outfit, led by Padgen, who did the toe work, and Cagle, who was on the receiving end, nosed out Delta Nu in the final game of the year. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL V Under the tutelage of Bill Cochrane, the Freshmen cagers completed a mediocre season, winning five of their nine games. If we consider only the number of victories and defeats the junior Bills would be ranked higher but they lost three of their four games to the Washington Cubs. After annexing five consecutive victories the freshmen lost four straight games. The victories were at the expense of Eden Seminary, the Alexanders, an independent club, Delta Nu, winner of the intramural basketball championship, and Jefferson Barracks. After this encouraging start the young Bills assumed a new form and lost the last four games. In the disastrous series with the Cubs, the frosh forgot their knowledge of the game and duplicated the feat of the varsity cagers by .losing the little city series. The 'outstanding members of the squad were Paul Crane, Bill King and Len Gorman, all from Christian Brothers High School, A1 Dudenhoeffer and Harry Luecke, former stars of St. Louis University High School, and Bob Wylie from Clayton High School. V Thus, St. Louis University adequately cares for the physical as well as the mental, moral and cultural requirements of its students. The Sports For All program inaugu- rated several years ago is designed to carry over into later life, thus giving the average student both the recreational and physical requisites necessary for healthful and whole- some living. v156v . .

However, the executive body proper consists of representatives from each school, two selected and one appointed by the dean. Minor schools of the University have one representative each. The Conclave was organized in 1921 and has since pursued its objective of promoting worthwhile student activities and fostering a closer relation- ship between the student body and the faculty. V This year the Conclave subsidized a number of deserving student activities. It underwrote the Fleur-de-Lis, student literary publication, to the extent of S100 each issue, thereby making possible a free distribution of the magazine to all students. The student executive body also promoted a series of lectures by prominent Englishmen and Americans. Admission was free to all those who paid their student activity fee. Among the lecturers who appeared under the auspices of the Conclave Lecture Founda- tion were Arnold Lunn, Christopher Hollis and Bishop Francis C. Kelley, D.D. A guide book to the University was compiled by the Conclave this year and will be ready for distribution next September. In the book is contained such information as will facilitate the new student in becoming acquainted with the University. Two tickets to the Thanksgiving Day football game were donated to the College Sodality which were raffled for the benefit of the missions. In addition, the student governing body purchased trophies for the graduating athletes and awarded band men sweaters. v160v 'iii VYI.

The organization also made possible the trip to Chicago for the De Paul football game and co-operated with Alpha Sigma Nu in sponsoring Dad's Day. V As in the past, the Conclave confined its social activities to four dances. The hrst of these, the Barn Dance, was held early in October. Buddy Duddy, senior Conclave representative from the School of Commerce and Finance, provided the music for this occasion. With the exception of the Prom, this was the most popular of the Conclave dances. The S-L Dance, given annually in honor of the University athletes, was held in December, with all athletes who had earned letters invited as special guests. The affair was observed in the traditional manner, with everyone present wearing the school colors. Richard ,Day and his orchestra provided the music for this occasion. V Instead of the usual Mardi Gras, the Conclave sponsored a Valentine Dance this year. Duddy's orchestra, which proved so popular at the first dance, was again featured on this occasion. The climax of the social season was reached at the Prom, held in April. The maids and the prospective queen of the Prom were feted by the Conclave at a dinner dance held in March at Hotel Chase. Elections for new members to replace the graduating representatives were held early in May and were attended with much interest and student campaigning. Alto- gether, eleven new members took their places on the Conclave at the annual banquet held in May. At this banquet the retiring representatives were honored, and new officers for next year were elected. v16lv A y y v MEMBERS or THE CONCLAVE -, Jfsf ' ll' . . .gather each Tuesday evening when they discuss if p 'Xp 5- ' student administrative problems.

QD!6Lyk0LL56 tat HE Playhouse Club, dramatic organization of the University, enjoyed one of its most active and successful seasons during the year 1955-56. Its first production i of the season was Booth Tarkington's Seventeen, followed by HMinick, by George Kaufman and Edna Ferber, and Shakespeare's tragedy, Romeo and Iulietf' Most active of the University's clubs, the Playhouse Club partakes of the nature of both a club and an activity. Members of the organization not only hold regular meetings and conduct social affairs for the Club especially, but they also present radio dramas, portmanteau plays and one-act sketches. V The Playhouse Club, now in its tenth year of existence, has maintained this year its same standard of quality in offering to audiences from all over the city fine plays, finely presented. The histrionic achievements of the young men and women of this Club have wonrecognition in St. Louis and environs among amateur theatrical circles. In addition to giving three major productions a year, the Club members tour the city and adjacent territory with a repertoire of portmanteau plays, which they present before various educational, religious and social groups. The Playhouse Club accepts no remuneration for such service except when it appears at affairs where admission fees are charged. These plays are given with deliberate informality, without scenery, and with but a modicum of properties, without make-up, and so far as some of the players are concerned, without the particular costumes called for by their roles. Before each pres- entation, the director announces the name of the play and its author, describes the setting, and asks all to let their imaginations supply what is lacking in the way of pro- duction accessories. Such presentations have proved exceedingly popular, and during one season, the repertoire of seven plays was given 76 times. V Two dances were given by the Playhouse Club during the year, one before Christmas and the other in May, both taking place in the lounge of the Commerce School. The treasurer announced a surplus of over 95500, the largest amount which the organization has possessed to date. v162v ,ffm XX vl65v Qbkifafeftic Society INCE its founding, more than a century ago, the Philalethic Society has con- stantly aimed at perfecting its members in the art of public address. The double means of theory and practice were employed towards this end during the past year, with semi-monthly meetings serving as the medium of presentation. A A V Philalethic Society activities date from 1852, which makes it the oldest of existing organizations in the University. Naturally this provides the Society with an interesting and colorful background. Its records go back to 1857 and tell of times when the Phila- lethic Society was the premier organization of St. Louis, having the place of honor in the city's annual Fourth of Iuly parade, after which the Society's president delivered the principal address from the steps of the Courthouse. Vvhile last year's efforts were less pretentious than those mentioned above, the same basic objective was maintained. To achieve it, facility of expression and ease of delivery were stressed. The opportunity is given the members to speak before the Society, thus providing actual experience, and the constructive criticisms rendered aid them in correcting their errors. Experienced speakers from outside the group are also provided to add the strong incentive of good example. Q Shoestring talks were offered at one of the early meetings of the group and proved a most popular attraction. In a series of impromptu talks on a variety of subjects all attending members spoke, the order of speaking being determined by lot, and the topic by the last noun in the remarks of the previous speaker. Various phases of the coming presidential campaign were treated in speeches by the members at another gathering. V Florida University was opposed on the question of overruling Supreme Court decisions by Congress, in an inter-collegiate debate which featured the first assembly in April. Such a contest, to which the public was invited, is an annual affair of the Phila- lethic Society. State socialization of medicine was also debated before the Society. All meetings were held in the Forensics room of the Administration building. v Members ofthe Philalethic Society. Firnrf row-Printy, M., Pollack, Ferrara, Lutz, Neill, T., Hobelman.

KDCN Goffeqe Sodafify ITALLY concerned with the spiritual welfare of the non-professional students of the University, the College Sodality has always taken great pains to provide new Y outlets for the religious zeal of its members. This year was no exception in this regard. But to make these outside activities of the Sodality effective, new members had to be secured. To further this end, a change was made in the regular weekly program to attract new members and to hold old ones. Under the new plan, guest speakers, experts in their respective fields, were invited to address the members. Thus were social, political and religious problems presented to the sodalists in a new light, and interest in its extra activities was stimulated. This interesting sort of program succeeded in building up the active roster of students who participated in the Sodality's activity. During Lent the Stations of the Cross were substituted for the regular meetings. Many and varied were the activities sponsored by the Sodality during the past year. The monthly meetings of the Sodality Union, which is composed of the corporate colleges, the hospital units and the College Sodality, were among the principal functions. Featured at these meetings was the animated rosary ceremony in which the men and women represented the different parts of the rosary. Various subjects, such as Rome and Lourdes, were treated by the newly formed lecture club, whose members were invited to speak before many of the parish sodalities of the city. V A drive for food and clothing was held at Christmas time, and the baskets collected were personally delivered to the needy on Christmas day by the members. Still another activity backed by the Sodality was the play Storm Tomeff, a social drama written and directed by Rev. Daniel A. Lord, SJ. Besides these innovations in its outside activities, the Sodality kept up its policy of raising funds for the foreign missions by means of raffles and weekly collections at the students' Mass on Friday mornings. As in past years, it supervised the annual retreat, conducted this year by Rev. Charles W. Clark, SJ. v MEMBERS OF THE COLLEGE SODALITY t d from the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Schools of Commerce and Financ c t o ocial Service. N i 164 v v lllembers of the Classical Club.

Since its foundation in 1929, the Club has assumed an important place among the extra-curricular activities of the Uni- versity and has done much to arouse and foster an interest in the Classics among the students. Unlike other extra-curricular activities, its membership is open to students of the corporate colleges, the only requirement for membership being a general background in high school Latin or Greek. V Ancient Greek and Roman Life was selected as the general topic for discussion during the past scholastic year. In connection with this theme typical papers presented included: The Greek Family in Fifth Century Athens, Lower Social Strata at Rome -Clients, Freedmen and Slaves, and Trades and Professions in Augustan Rome. Cn Dec. 8 the Club presented a special program at the University Auditorium in connection with the Horatian Bimillennium, which was last year's motif. Rev. Thomas M. Knapp, SJ., dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, was guest speaker, and Ann Marie O'Connell, president of the Club, delivered the welcoming address. Four eulogies on Horace, the great Augustan poet, moralist and critic, constituted the program proper. The monthly meetings of the Club are held either at the University or at one of the corporate colleges. Two papers in line with some phase of the yearly theme and a number of illustrative readings from the classics, on which both organized and open discussions are held, comprise the programs. These discussions are a distinctive feature of the Club's policy for, by participating in them, each member inculcates in himself a genuine enthusiasm and esteem for the classics. V Officers for the past year were Ann Marie O'Connell, junior at Fontbonne, president 5 Donald Arthur Gallagher, senior in the College of Arts and Sciences, vice-president, Mary Beth Heckemeyer, sophomore at Maryville, secretary, and Elizabeth Ann Halpin, senior at Webster, treasurer. Dr. William C. Korfmacher, assistant professor of classical languages, and Iohn Hodnett, instructor in classical languages, again served as faculty advisers to the Club. vl65v s 0 h International Relations Club. ' ammer, Arand, Dr. Steinbicker, Lemen, S. and Hobelman. Sphir, Lernen, L., Thompson, and Kenefick. lzferimfiolm efafiom Gfuf HE second year's activities of the International Relations Club has marked a rather slow but steady development of the Club's policies. Begun last year, this Club, a member of a nation-wide organization under the Carnegie Founda- tion Institute, was formed as an outlet for study and discussion on the part of those who were aware of the ever-growing part played by the ties and tirades of nation's living together in an ever-narrowing world. It is but one of a large group of such clubs which receive books on pertinent topics each month, and bulletins on current international relations twice each month from the national headquarters, which also supplies promi- nent speakers for the annual regional conferences. Membership is drawn from every school in the University with a preponderance from the Schools of Education, Social Service and Graduate Studies. V Last year's policy of dinner meetings followed by informal talks and round table discussions was again pursued this year, and the fellowship and activity engendered seem to warrant its retention as a permanent policy. In a year so filled with the latent but potent dynamite of international friction as was this one, the field for the Club's activities was, of course, greatly widened. St. Louis is literally filled with people who have accurate and first-hand information, definite if not unprejudiced opinions, and it has been the Club's constant endeavor to secure such people as speakers at the meetings. Dinner meetings have been varied at times by holding open meetings with more formal talks, but with the usual free discussion following them. The sense of compactness is here lost, however, and this accounts for the rather stinting use made of such meetings during the year. Dr. Paul G. Steinbicker, professor of history and political science, who was the principal organizer of the Club, has continued as the faculty moderator. Suzanne Lemen, president 5 Arthur Kuhl, vice-president, and Margaret Arand, secretary-treasurer, are the only three officers of a Club which has attempted to gain unity through spontaneous reactions rather than imposed formulae. There is no fixed membership, no roll call, no dues, no obligations at all save an interest in the problems discussed and a participa- tion in their discussion. Despite-or perhaps because of-this, the Club has been highly successful. vl66v iziversify am LTHOUGH seriously hampered by a disheartening lack of co-operation on the part of the student body, the University Band this year completed a full schedule of activities. Its performances were creditable to those taking part, but the num er of student musicians was discouragingly small. V In its first appearance of the year, the band added its music and color to the Presi- dent's Convocation, which was held in the University Gymnasium on Oct. ll. It appeared at all of the nine home football games, played at Walsh Memorial Stadium, with the exception of the first, the Sewanee game on Sept. 25. The music for this game was furnished by three of the outstanding American Legion Bands, which were in St. Louis for the American Legion convention held at that time. Because of the small number of student band members who could make the trips, the organization did not accompany the team to Umaha for the Creighton game or to Chicago for the DePaul game. By playing at each of the home basketball games, the band added to student enthusi- asm at these contests, and soon came to be recognized as an integral part of the cheering section. As a proof of this, much favorable comment was received on these performances. The annual banquet of the organization was held this year at the Elks' Club on Dec. ll. At this affair, which was the climax of the band's activity, the names of those meriting sweaters and keys for faithful attendance were announced. V As during the preceding year, Dr. Walter E. von Kalinowski took over the work of director of the band, and fulfilled his task with creditable performances, especially in view of the apparently insurmountable difficulties which are naturally encountered in the direction of an organization composed almost entirely of amateurs. Thomas Gallagher also retained his position of last year as manager, and deserves credit for his numerous attempts at directing the band during the absence of Dr. Kalinowski. While it must be admitted that, on account of student apathy, the season on the whole was not a success, the prospects are bright for a better student organization in the future. c A v sPIRrr . . . is the keynote ofthe University Band. Appearing at all of the university functio s this organization added greatly to the spirit ofthe occasions. 612 I5 !66 ISPLAYING a more complete development than at any time in the past, the Men's Glee Club enjoyed an unusually successful season. The Club this year was one of the most representative in the University, being composed of men from seven schools. The renewed interest in the Glee Club caused a noteworthy increase in membership, which brought the total number of active members to fifty. Since only ten vocalists remained from last year's organization, the early part of the season was devoted to preparing the large repertoire which was necessary for the numerous public appearances. V Pursuing its policy of last year, the Glee Club presented many concerts before local high schools and colleges as well as numerous local organizations. Among the most successful concerts were those given at Webster College, Fontbonne College and McBride High School and the annual home concert in the University Auditorium. The Club also sang with the Fontbonne College chorus in a pageant given by the Sisters of St. Ioseph celebrating the centennial of the Qrder's foundation. In addition, several programs were given over the local radio stations throughout the year. The climax of the season came with the home concert on Apr. 2. The Glee Club was assisted by the Women's Glee Club inthe presentation of three distinct types of songs. Sacred songs were sung in Latin in the traditional manner 5 folk songs of three types, Indian, Mountaineer and Negro were especially prepared for the occasion with two Pueblo Indians, students at the University, leading the songs of their people. The mountain songs were of particular note, having been arranged by the director from his collection made over a period of years in the Appalachian Mountains. V The annual banquet for the singers was held at the close of the active season. Plans were discussed at this time for an extensive trip throughout the East, the officers were congratulated for the co-operation they secured during the year from the members. The officers for the past year were Charles Stehly, sophomore in the Medical School, president 5 Kermit Diebold, Arts senior, vice-president, and Karl Weber, junior in the Dental School, secretary. Dr. Patrick W. Gainer, assistant professor of English, served as faculty adviser to the Club again this year. His musical background and wide experience with group singers make him particularly well fitted for the position. M be s f the Glee Club. Z ia rg!

V 1 REIN CH LH' E CULTURE AND CUSTOMS, v 7 T 4 1 . . . are treated at the monthly meetings of the French Club, student organization composed of those interested in French affairs. Be Gercfe ,CZZLIZCQIZ5 REMARKABLE growth was recorded this year in Le Cercle Francais, a social club for French students who are interested in French life, customs and men of letters and science. During the past school year the Club reached its greatest size ince its foundation four years ago, in addition to being more active than in former years. V The French library fund, established a few years ago to provide books for the University library dealing with French literature and life, was augmented this year by larger donations than in the past. A raffle was held during the Lenten season, the net proceeds of which were presented to the library fund. Social functions formed an integral part of the Club's activities 5 a dance was sponsored by members of Le Cercle Francais, the proceeds of this affair also being donated to the library fund. This dance is an annual event and this year was a post-Lenten affair, inasmuch as Lent started some- what early. In striving for social gains and increasing the library fund, the Club did not lose sight of its original purpose of providing a background of French culture to supplement the regular classroom work. The programs at the monthly meetings consisted, for the most part, of student contributions. Famous men were the subjects of these programs in many cases, and discussion on the lives of these French notables was encouraged after the formal part of the program was concluded. Some of the speakers at the meetings were Gustave V. Grevenig, director of the department of modern languages, who spoke on the life of Louis Pasteur, the well-known French biologist 5 Edward F.

Qgro 655i0IZ6Lf Sodafity LTHQUGH seriously handicapped by the fact that its members live in Widely separated areas and attend the professional schools which also are located in various parts of the city, this season the Professional Sodality had one of its most uccessful years. V Organized 21 years ago, this group during the past year continued its Work of caring for the spiritual welfare of the students in the professional schools and post-graduate departments. To attain this end, the Sodality, as has been done in the past, made spiritual services available to the students every first Friday in the Chapel of Desloge Hospital at 7:00 a. m. Mass and Holy Communion, followed by Benediction and a short talk, formed the nucleus of the services. There was also a priest available to hear con- fessions at this time. Besides the services on the first Friday of the month, the Sodality held bi-monthly meetings at the Medical School to conduct the business of the organization. These meetings had no regular scheduled date but were held whenever it was convenient for all the students to attend them. The marked success of the annual retreat in Ianuary was due in large measure to the activity of the Sodality in promoting this affair among the students of the profes- sional schools. One of the most noteworthy activities of the Sodality was the fine spirit which it displayed in the annual Christmas drive for contributions of food and clothing for the relief of the needy in the city. Instead of the usual gifts of food and clothing which members of other sodalities made, the professional students added contributions of small sums of money which the director of the Sodality used to purchase clothing and food. V Probably the main reason for the success of the Professional Sodality in the past year was the spirit of co-operation and enthusiasm displayed by the officers of the Sodality. The officers were composed of a staff of students from the Schools of Law, Medicine, Dentistry and Graduate Studies who assisted Rev. Francis O'Hern, SJ., director of the Sodality. v l70v Tren A UUNDED originally to promote co-operation and greater harmony among members of the staffs of The Archive, The Fleur-de-Lis, and The University News, undergraduate publications of St. Louis University, the Press Club con- tinued this year in the nature of an open forum where opportunity is given for the free exchange of ideas. V Following tradition, the first meeting of the year, held to stimulate interest in the various publications among members of the freshman class, was conducted in the Uni- versity News Room. At this meeting, officers for the year were elected. Pat O'Brien, Arts senior, was named president, and Arthur R. Kuhl, Arts senior, vice-president. The first formal gathering of the year was held at the Melbourne Hotel during the Christmas season. Ideas were exchanged and the difficulties relating to publication work were discussed. Subsequent meetings were conducted informally throughout the year. Setting a precedent for future years, the Press Club entered a new field when it sponsored the National Catholic Press Conference, conducted to acquaint Catholic colleges and high schools in the neighboring states with a variety of types and phases of publications. Many prominent journalists and editorial writers of the staffs of the Post- Dispatch, Globe-Democrat and Star-Times, addressed the conference sessions. V Following the custom of past years, press keys, the reward for two years active quality service on one of the University publications, were this year awarded to Donald A. Gallagher, Arts senior and editor of The Fleur-de-Lis during the first semester, Arthur R. Kuhl, Arts senior and second-semester editor of The F leur-de-Lis, Vincent F. Daues, Arts senior and business manager of the same publication, Paul E. Fitzsimmons, Arts junior and first-semester editor of The University News, Iohn A. Kukawski, sophomore in the School of Education and sports editor of the News , Roger E. Bacon, junior in the Arts College and associate editor of The Archive and F leur-de-Lis, and Lawrence T. Kenney, senior in the Arts College and associate editor of The Archive. v STUDENTS ENROLLED IN THE PRESS CLUB . . . are members of the staffs of The Archive, The University News and The Fleur- de-Lis. U ff N QQ 7 ! , amen 5 S0 da Lty RGANIZED a few years ago to inculcate in its members ideals of perfection and personal sanctification, the Women's Sodality realizes its purpose through I .t:, o,,rf ttlt the medium of regular weekly meetings which are held in the chapel of Sodality Hall on Wednesday mornings. These meetings consist mainly in the recitation of the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This is then followed by a brief instruction by the moderator. A V The Women's Sodality this year sponsored many extra activities. Chief among these was the Sodality Union Convention, which, besides the Women's Sodality, included the hospital units of St. Iohn's and St. Mary's, the corporate colleges and the College Sodality. A large delegation represented the Women's Sodality. ' On Feb. 7 a dance was held under Sodality auspices at the Forest Park Hotel. It proved such a success that it bids fair to become a regularly established affair. Special May devotions were also conducted by the sodalists. As usual a mid-semester retreat for the women of the University was sponsored by the Sodality. Rev. Archibald Tallmadge, SJ., was retreat master. -The order for the day during this retreat was approximately the same as that of the men's retreat. Though its membership has been steadily increasing of late years, the Women's Sodality still keeps up the practice of offsetting the small number of its members by co-operating with the College Sodality in many of the latter's activities. This year the sodalists took an active interest in the drive for food and clothing sponsored by its older counterpart. V The year of comparative success enjoyed by the Sodality was due to the efforts of its moderator, Rev. Stephen Rueve, SJ. The officers of the Sodality were: Katherine Iett McCawley, Graduate student in Education, prefect 5 Beatrice M. Schwartz, sopho- more in Social Service, secretary, and Adele E. Daut, junior in Education, treasurer. Off e s ofthe Vs7omen's Sodality. Kath Cawley, Mary Moore, Rosalie Rhedemeyer and Adele Daut. A' -N Cx v Wlembers ofthe German Club.

Although somewhat handicapped by the absence of a stable membership, the German Club during the past year presented pro- grams of unusual interest and served as a valuable adjunct to the German department of the University. V Continuing the policy of selecting some particular phase of German life or culture to be stressed at each meeting of the year, at the initial meeting the members chose German Romanticism as a general theme for this year, consequently, some aspect of Romanticism was studied or reported upon at each meeting. A typical meeting of the Club consisted of reports by members of the faculty or student members of the Club, followed by an open discussion. Frequently, however, the programs were concluded in a lighter vein, being devoted to the singing of old German folk songs. The outstanding faculty contributions were: A Survey of German Romanti- cism, by Dr. George Braun, professor of German 5 Romanticism in Music, by Dr. Walter E. von Kalinowski, instructor in German, and f'Modern German Educationf, by Dr. Helmut Berend, teaching fellow of German. Various student contributions supplemented these reports. The programs of the Club were by no means limited to faculty and student contribu- tions, however, for outside entertainment was supplied on several occasions. During one of these meetings the McBride High School German Club, invited as guest of the University unit, presented an interesting program, on another occasion an illustrated lecture on German art was given by a competent authority on the subject. V Dr. Berend served as faculty moderator of the German Club, succeeding Iohn V. Tillman, graduate fellow in German, who had served in that capacity since the founding of the organization. Dr. Berend was assisted by Dr. Braun and Dr. Norbert Feurst, instructor in German, who replaced Dr. Braun after his departure for Europe. The officers for the year were Bernard Schulte, senior in the College of Arts and Sciences, president, Gregory Green, sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences, vice-president, and Clement S. Mihanovich, student in the Graduate School, secretary. vl75v b f the Book and Quill Club. ' I' Z I l E l mme e, Rev. mmanue Sprigler, C. P., Garesche and Moore.

Biterary ITH the formation of an English Literary Club at St. Louis University during the present scholastic year, a long-felt desire of both students and faculty for such a society has materialized. This society was founded for the purpose of promoting appreciation of English literature and allied subjects among undergraduate students of all schools of the University. . V It is essentially a student organization, self-governed, and fully recognized by the University. The official title of this organization is The English Literary Club, its less formal and more familiar name, submitted and approved at one of the early meetings, is HBook and Quill Club. Although principal attention is given to recognized literary masterpieces, original manuscripts are accepted for discussion. It is, moreover, an aim of the club to have original papers by members published in the University, as well as in outside publica- tions, and accordingly it awards a prize to the author of the most excellent essay each year. At the suggestion of faculty members a small group of students assembled in the Administration building one afternoon in early December to elect officers who should formulate a constitution for an English Literary Club. Keeping in mind the purpose and objective of such a society, these officers drafted their constitution which they presented to the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences for his approval. When they received his official sanction, they announced the date of the first official meeting, at which time the constitution was discussed and adopted by those present. V The usual program is as follows: call to order, roll call, presentation of subjects and original compositions, followed by open criticism of the same, adjournment, and refreshments. Guest speakers, distinguished in the field of literature, were obtained for several meetings. Although the number of original members was small, the Club, through its intrinsic merits, has grown and its enrollment has increased to approximately forty students. v174v Qirsi ee GIRLS' Cvlee Club, the ,first one in the history of St. Louis University, was formed late in Uctober of 1955. The founding of this Club has increased the number of organizations whose membership is composed entirely of Women stude ts of the University to a total of three. Membership in the Club is open to every girl in any branch of the University. At present, representatives from three schools of the University, the School of Social Service, the School of Education and the School of Nursing, are included in the twenty-one members. V The director of the Club is Eugene Kenefick, a sophomore in the School of Social Service, who also acted as accompanist. Dr. Patrick W. Gainer, assistant professor of English and director of the Men's Glee Club, serves as faculty adviser of the club. Because of the fact that the Club was organized late in the year, and inasmuch as its efforts were all trail-breaking, the activities of the Club during this, its initial year, have not been very pretentious. The principal appearances of the year were given during the Christmas season when a large number of the girls sang Christmas carols in Clayton and at the annual home concert given Apr. 2, conjointly by the Men's and Girls' Glee Clubs in which the entire group participated. The Club has received con- siderable encouragement from its audiences, and since the majority of its members will return next year the Club is certain to play a prominent part as an active organization of the University in the coming years. V The officers for the past year were Mary Glastris, sophomore in the School of Social Service, president , Beatrice Schwartz, sophomore in the School of Social Service, vice- president 5 Marie Parison, sophomore in the School of Education, secretary-librarian, and Miriam Printy, freshman in the School of Education, treasurer. v Members of the Girls' Glee Club.

In addition to several dinner- dances given for members only, the fra- ternity's annual Christmas dance was held at the Glen Echo Country Club. The social activities of the fraternity were culminated by the Spring Dance which was given in the latter part of May. Besides its social functions, Alpha Delta Gamma participated in the many extra- curricular activities of the University. Teams were sponsored by the organiza- tion in all of the intramural sports, and the fraternity was also well represented on the football team, on the staffs of The University News, The Archive, The Fleur- de-Lis and on The Student Conclave. vl82v v Nlembers of Phi Rho Sigma. l71'1'.,rlraw-Dindia, Denzer, Stevens, Dugan, D., Mitcliell, E., Rolufs and Radecki.

The fraternity espouses scholarship, activity, and serv- ice to the University, and during the first two years of its existence has en- joyed a creditable realization of its ideals. V Among its other activities, Delta Nu sponsored a Welcoming Committee and a Freshman Day for the benefit of new students at the University. The frater- nity plans a continuation of these activi- ties in the future. The most important social events spon- sored by Delta Nu during the past year were two formal dances, one in the winter at the St. Louis Country Club, and one in the spring at Glen Echo Country Club. In addition, the fraternity held several chapter dances and picnics for the mem- bers. One of the annual events in Delta Nu's calendar is the combination Dad's Day and Communion Breakfast, held this year during the first Semester. v184v v Nlembers of Psi Omega.

Beta Zeta Chap- ter was introduced at St. Louis Univer- sity in 1908. V Psi Omega aims to cultivate the social qualities of its members 5 to assist them in their activities, and to exert its in- fluence for the advancement of the dental profession in methods of teaching, of practice and of jurisprudence. In keep- ing with this last aim, lectures and clini- cal demonstrations were given by many prominent and distinguished men of the dental profession during the last year. The social season was climaxed with the Annual Spring Formal, given this year at Van Horn's Farm. An informal dinner-dance was held at the Hotel Chase in honor of the new members. In addition, a number of informal dances were given throughout the year to provide enter- tainment and relaxation for its members. vl85v UU W 4-, ii gg, R. if W Qi mega 4-S ff OFFICERS Grand fflaxler - - - A.

This profes- sional dental fraternity was established in 1882 at the University of Michigan. V Delta Sigma Delta has for its purpose the fostering of a spirit of fraternal rela- tionship among dental students and the raising of professional standards. To attain this last objective, Omicron Chap- ter sponsored a series of lectures by men prominent in the profession on current problems of dental theory and practice, as well as on subjects pertaining to the cultural side of life. Although the main interests of the fraternity do not center around the social side of life, recreational activities were not entirely neglected. During the year, banquets were held in honor of the past Supreme Grand Master, Dr. Dittmar of Chicago, and in honor of the new one, Dr. Smolenski of Denver. The main event of the season was the formal initia- tion dance held Mar. 17. v186v v Members of Phi Delta Epsilon. Fran! row-Schneider, lVliner, Rosenfeld, Stark, Brody, Suffness and Sherman.

V In 1918 an amalgamation with Alpha Phi Sigma resulted in the growth of the organization until now it has a roster of over 5,000 members of 52 chapters, all at Grade A medical schools, and of 15 graduate clubs. Alpha Pi Chapter of St. Louis University was granted a charter in 1924. During the year Alpha Pi sponsored occasional parties and dances as well as lectures by prominent physicians. These lectures were given every other week after meetings and were frequently illus- .trated by slides and moving pictures. Scholastically, Phi Delta Epsilon has had an excellent year, having had two of its seniors elected to Alpha Omega Alpha, honorary medical fraternity. v187v UU W 2- ,, .Iv V pw as 4 Q W ft '..

Although the Iota Chapter is of recent origin, being granted a charter in 1926, it has progressed rapidly and now boasts one of the largest chapters in America. V Iota maintains a chapter house at Russell Boulevard and Spring Avenue, the center of activity for all its members. Weekly seminars, special lectures, and informal discussions on fundamental prin- ciples and special aspects of medicine, emphasize the scholastic purpose of the fraternity. Lambda Phi Mu also spon- sored an active social program during the school year, with informal dances being held throughout the year, the high- light of which was the annual formal dinner-dance at the Hotel Coronado, Feb. 22, climaxing the Founders' Week celebration. The last social event of the year was the annual banquet given in honor of the departing seniors. v 188v v Diembers of Alpha Kappa Kappa.

Since then the local chapter has been active on the campus and in national fraternity circles. It has held its place in the medical World by placing many outstanding men in the various branches of medicine and on the faculty of the St. Louis University School of Medicine. V The local chapter holds a monthly sem- inar in which prominent faculty members are asked to speak. The advisory board, made up of three members of the alumni, meets each month with the members to discuss current events and medical sub- jects. The chapter insists upon a high scholastic standard for membership. Social activities included luncheons for visiting alumni during the Southern Med- ical Convention, initiation of new mem- bers, formal dinner-dances for members and alumni, and several informal dances on various special occasions. vl89v UU , 'iv I -' . . w , . -.. r L iil R ,Q -A G .N lJl'!','J'I.lfCl1f - Vzicc-Preffden! - T1'ca.rLu'cr - - Recording Secrelary - - C01'rc.rp011a'ing Secfulzzfy - I1L'.r!0l'1'z1n - - 171 alurluzl - - - W'zzrrfcn - Chap la in - Comm fmral - R. s.

Since then, six men have been added to the lists of the Crown and Anchor. V This organization, not a fraternity and not a club, combines the best features of each. Meetings are informal, of .a con- vivial yet intellectual nature. The obj ects of the Crown and Anchor are to foster the ideal that a man inclined to Scholar- ship may be active in other school activi- ties g to enjoy the latent pleasure of free and open discussion of all topics, particu- larly those of a literary nature 5 to speak and write well the language of the nationg to provide a means whereby students with scholarly ambitions can meet others with like tastes and obtain amusement to their liking. Masters of the Mitre Tavern lunched together each week and held regular evening meetings. v l90v v Dflembers of Phi Lambda Kappa. 1 z'r.rlraw-Iesgar, Swiclcley, Vogel, Disler, Lazarus and Iones.

Tau chapter was chartered at the Uni- versity in 1924. Since that time many of its members have become prominent in the medical profession throughout the country. V In order to encourage higher scholastic standards and to motivate a more con- centrated curricular endeavor, the chapter annually presents a -scholarship award to the senior whose work has been the most outstanding during his first four years of medical study. The fraternity this year sponsored weekly seminars and semi-monthly ad- dresses by prominent alumni on impor- tant topics in their respective fields of medicine. The fraternity alsosponsored an active social program during the year 5 informal dances were held on appropriate occasions and the annual formal dinner- dance in honor of the new members was given in the latter part of April, and came as a fitting climax to a successful fraternal year. v19lv 6L1O7U6L - I.
