THE VVCRSHIP OF GOD fulfills the most impor- t nt aim of a university . t dent. It is in the College Ch ch that he meets every N 14 y for lVlass, every year , f the Retreat from the A ca es of the world. r AV T :ras xx. -1- 4 -F44 .- A .Hi y lziversity Section UIDED by the principles embodied in scholastic philosophy and holding Hrm the conviction that The End Of Man Is God, St. Louis University has endeavored, during the near century and a quarter of its existence, to realize in actual life the philosophy of Catholic education. 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
