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. Nevertheless, while changing to meet new conditions, it has held steadfast to the ideals it has always set before itself-to gradu- tt ate men who are not only aptly Ht for their profession, who are thoroughly trained to . take their place in the topmost ranks among doctors, but men who have been trained ethically, who will always be conditioned by the eternal truths of Catholic philosophy, li who will be doctors eminently fit for their profession and true to the truth found in the 1 Catholic Church's body of precepts and dogmas. li f- X. -fa.. f -f-, , .- . if '?'37e .affi . he e ,i r K e , .i .a i itrt Y' li'irii J xtiii t U Vlii liii I I 1 l 4 1 1 A-vi MI1: l

v STATISTICAL ABSTRACTS . . . prepared here in the Com- X merce and Finance library M form the basis for much of Q the business stuclent's study Q' , and reasoning. ,Q NE of the most notable developments of modern education is the widening program of university studies proffered young men and women today. 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.
