Cnmmins, S.J., twenty-fifth president of St. Louis University, was appointed late in December to that office. JTol .OLDING up to the educational world the ideals of Catholic principles as applied to the training of its students, St. Louis University has maintained a rigid standard of excellence in the one hundred and nineteen years of her existence. From the tiny academy founded by Bishop Du Bourg in 1818, she has developed by easy stages to the position oi eminence she occupies today as a complex, metropolitan institution, one of the outstanding universities of the Middle West and, in many respects, of the country. As conditions in the outside world change, a university must keep pace by meeting the new obligations imposed upon her by these changes or fall by the wayside. St. Louis University has met these new demands by altering her courses, modifying her methods of administration, while still holding fast to her fundamental UNIVERSITY FORMAL ♦ Page Two objectives. In the past thirty years phenomenal progress has been made in the fields of science and education. By profiting from the experience of others, by testing each new educational discovery in the crucible of time, St. Louis University has been able to keep pace with the times without sacrificing her efforts on unworthy enterprises. At the head of the University is the president, in whose hands is centered the direct governing power of the entire institution. He is head of the Board of Trustees, the body which sits in judgment on all matters of policy which supersede intra-school interests. The University Council, composed of the deans and regents of the various schools which com- prise the University, is the foremost advisory body of the University, and regulates internal affairs. In those schools where a layman is dean, a regent is appointed by the provincial as the official representa- tive of the Society of Jesus. Within recent years a greater premium has been placed upon specialization; hence increasing emphasis has been placed upon the Graduate School where the student already possessed of a degree is afforded the opportunity of intensive training in the field of his particular interests. The College of Arts and Sciences offers its students a liberal education along broad cultural lines, and also serves as a preparatory school for those who intend to pursue their studies in the professional schools. The School of Medicine, by increasing the per- sonnel of its faculty and procuring up-to-date equip- ment, has achieved the highest possible rating given medical schools. The School of Nursing, of an almost equally wide-spread fame, boasts of both educational and practical facilities which are virtually unequalled c W ' - v in any other institution of its type in this section of } ' the country. The School of Dentistry, by depart- ' i ' y mentahzing its courses and installing modern dental machinery, enjoys a similar position ol eminence. UNIVERSITY FORMAL Page Three A meeting of the Board ot Deans and Regents which determines the administrative policies of the schools ot the University. The imparting to its students ot a knowledge ot ethical business practices and the building ol a firm foundation in the principles of business administration are the objectives ol the School ot Commerce and Finance. Similarly, students in the School ot Education are inculcated with the principles of true Catholic education, tor it will be only through the well-educated Catholic teachers of tomorrow that much of the impending social chaos can be averted. Instituted to fill the very definite need lor Catholic social work training, the School of Social Service is now recognized as the most outstanding school of its kind in the Middle West. The School of Philosophy and Science provides advanced training for scholastics and conforms to the standards of the Arts College and Graduate School. Administered in a similar manner is the School ot Divinity, located at St. Mary ' s, Kansas, where candidates for the priesthood receive their theological training. The School ot Law has been expanded in recent years to meet the increased demands placed upon it by the growing complexity ol legislation. Administered by a dean and regent, it interprets for its students Christian jurisprudence, a matter which the present-day world is prone to ignore. St. Louis University would appear to be in many respects a physically dis- united organism. But despite this apparent distinction, all have one common bond of allegiance and a common end in view — to develop the intellectual, physical, and moral well-being of the students, and to promote the greater good of the University. UNIVERSITY FORMAL Page Four UNIVERSITY UNIVERSITY FORMAL ■f Page File THE COLLEGE OF K-JHE College of Arts and Sciences is not the only custodian and dispenser of the accu- mulated heritage of the past — each school of a university has its share in this task. But the professional schools must train their students for a specific career while the college has for its purpose the laying of strong foundations to make possible a later complete development of the students ' intellectual and moral faculties. It strives to develop the capacity to think, judge and work according to the principles of a sound philosophy enlightened bv Christian ideals. A cloistered walk that connects the Administration Buildings with the College Church. In these times there is a particular and pressing need tor such clear thinking. The world today is too prone to compromise, flouting principle in deference to utility and ignoring morals as an out-moded superstition. This is a natural outgrowth of current atheistic philosophy based on false premises, its proofs unreasonable, incomplete, and nearly always decidedly biased by emotion. To combat this trend in an unobtrusive, calm, logical manner, the liberal arts college presents its curriculum to its scholars. Its courses lead directly or indirectly to the attainment of this end. The youth of today hold the reins of power on the morrow and the Catholic liberal arts college, recognizing the need, is pre- paring its leaders. The liberal arts college has also as its objective the development of a full man, a liberally educated man. Its students are presented with a comprehensive knowl- edge of objective and philosophical truth which will enable them to meet every class on common ground, discuss topics and problems intelligently, and evaluate all according to the proper standards. The college ideal is not to foster specialization, but to cultivate the mind, to build up and strengthen true character, and to impart ♦ Rev. Wilfred M. Mallon. S. J., Assistant Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. UNIVERSITY FORMAL Page Six ARTS AND SCIENCES The Administration Building wherein are housed the College oi Arts and Sciences and major offices ol the University. that accuracy of thought and reasoning and that breadth of view which must ever be the foundation as well of more advanced scholarship as of eminence in the profes- sions or other stations of life. The St. Louis University College of Arts and Sciences offers its students a time-tested curriculum which, with cooperation, will lead to education in the true sense ot the word. It is presumed that a man ot lair capacity who has conscientiously followed this cur- riculum under capable professors will be possessed of trained and cultivated faculties and will have a consider- able amount of positive knowledge in the major fields and departments of learning, and that he will have an intelligent sympathy with progress and intellectual activity generally and be saved, as far as possible, from narrowness and superficiality. The college sends forth its graduates as a challenge to the false prophets of the dissolution of modern civilization and looks forward to the promise of a brighter future for right principles and liberal culture, if only enough enthusiastic men and women will avail themselves of the opportunity to satisfy their ambition for things of the mind. Having been seared by experience, the world is beginning to realize its need for educated men who know not only how to earn a living but also how to live. Rev. Thomas At. Knapp. S.J., Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and Chan- cellor oi the University. UNIVERSITY FORMAL Page Seven ♦ Rev. Thurber M. Smith. S.J., Dean of the School of Graduate Studies. THE GRADUATE t HE University is the guardian and dispenser of the accumulated treasure of man ' s intellectual achievements. In its libraries, museums, and laboratories are preserved the tools which its scholars — masters and apprentices — use in the attainment of truth. In its classrooms the lighted torch of Christian civilization and culture is passed on to the rising generation. It should never be forgotten amidst the ever-growing complications oi modern educational methods and tech- niques that the center around which all these activities revolve is the student. At times it would appear that attention is so centered on means that they are mistaken for ends; that the process itself tends to obscure the objective — the development of scholars. After all, knowledge advances only as those who know increase and develop. 1 he Graduate School shares, of course, with the other schools of the University the duty of preserving the past a nd transmitting it in an ordered synthesis. But one function the Graduate School claims as its peculiar prerogative — the creation of the future, the gradual pushing back by research and experiment of the fron- tiers of ignorance. The attainment of this ideal in its fullest sense demands, however, that the Graduate School as a society of scholars, in addition to the securing and imparting of that specialized knowledge which is its particular function, must bear witness to the true hierarchy of values and to the whole destiny of the individual and of mankind. It cannot be unmindful of the essential unity of that truth which it professes to advance nor of the type of scholar it strives to produce. Sodality Hall houses the Graduate School which directs all Craduate and research work at the University. UNIVERSITY FORMAL P.ige Eight SCHOOL The Graduate School is as impor- tant as it is unobtrusive. It sets the norm for highly specialized training, aiming at producing an expert in a given field. It caters only to those students who give promise of achieve- ment in one or another branch of learning. Graduate studies by their very nature lie in untrodden paths along new fields. By analogy the student must be a pioneer, mapping out his course of studies with no one to guide him and advise him. He must be resourceful and capable of making progress for himself. He is on his own with no one to push him. In the training of its apprentice scholars, the teachers of tomorrow, a graduate school, and above all the Catholic graduate school, can- not forget that without a synthesis of the is and ought, without a combination of observation and evaluation, it is impossible for a man to come to himself. When standards and values, ethical as well as intellectual, are banished, is there any wonder that students drift from course to course seeking hopelessly some answer to their inner restlessness? Men and women broadened by a reasoned general training may go through the world with much more peace of mind and certainty because they have approached nearer the truth.

The present-day development of these fields of vital human concern leaves no doubt in the minds of thoughtful men as to their intrinsic value. Their place and fitness in any comprehensive scheme of education is clearly seen and acknowledged. Even a passing glance at the issues and problems which are forcing themselves into the councils and legislatures of all nations must convince an observer of the necessity of an under- standing and training in the economic and industrial aspects of modern life. The courtvard of the School of Commerce and Finance. Today the vast development of human activities in economical and industrial fields presents numerous opportunities for men of talent and training. Definite preparation for distinct careers, for specific accom- plishments, for adaptability to chang- ing conditions, is extensively de- manded. The program of the School of Com- merce and Finance scarcely lacks real interest. It can hardly be dull. It never is, as a wag once put it, a course in glorified bookkeeping. Somehow, someway, even to the UNIVERSITY FORMAL Page Ten COMMERCE AND FINANCE beginner there comes a sense of interest, of competition, oi an on- coming struggle of wits in a great battlefield worthy of any man ' s prowess. There is an ill-de- fined suspicion on the part of those who stand without, that the stu- dent who pursues such a curriculum seldom attains in a large way that objective vaguely termed life. Yet somehow that same student when he has burgeoned into the lull plumage of a business man, often becomes a warm patron of art, education, science, so- cial uplift, religion, and a host of other beauti- The new School oi Commerce and Finance, one of the more modern Ituildiniis ol the University. ful things that shed rays of sunshine across this vale of tears. It would seem to any man of extended experiences wellnigh impossible to obliterate life ' ' from any large field of human activity. Few of us have seen bankers, manufacturers, or merchants who resembled Tut-an-khomen. The student of Commerce and Finance knows that somewhere on the road he will encounter lite in whirlwinds and deluges. The market place, the counting house, and the temples of industry have little in common with mausoleums, and the funeral dirge seldom emanates from their teeming and vibrant purlieus. UNIVERSITY FORMAL P.ige Eleven THE SCHOOL OF Dr. Thomas E. Purcel Dean of the School of Dentistry. Rev. Alphonse M. Schwi- talla. S.J., Regent of the School of Dentistry. ENTISTRY is built upon the three sciences of Chemistry, Physics, and Biology. The knowledge of these three sciences is a prerequisite to a study of either medicine or dentistry, since they are the tools without which the student cannot hope to succeed in his study of the medical sciences, of which dentistry is one of the more important. Because ol the mechanics attached to the practice ol dentistry, it was formerly classed as a vocation and commer- cialism crept into the early stages of its development. Greed and self- ishness led to hasty and inefficient service. Many faulty dental res- torations and the consequent dis- eases resulting therefrom caused the widespread and wholesale ex- traction of teeth. A focal infec- tion became recognized as a men- ace to the health of the whole world, and the demand tor a better qualified and a better edu- cated dentist became insistent. The result was that the dental course was changed from a three year to a four year course. It would have been much better for the profession had the course been lengthened from the other end at that time and higher academic preparation for admission to den- tal schools been required. In 1926, one year of college preparation beyond high school was required for admission. This came about when it became apparent that in order for the Below the entrance to the Dental Clinic, one of the best- equipped in the country. UNIVERSITY FORMAL Paee Twelve DENTISTRY The School of Dentistry, one oi the more modern dental schools in the country. student to be able to understand and assimilate the curriculum as first outlined under the four year course, he must have a better fundamental training. In 1930, the American Association of Dental Schools at its annual meeting, appointed a Curriculum Survey Committee to study the problem of dental educa- tion, to report its findings, and to make recommendations. The report suggested that there be two years of college work preceding the tour year course in dentistry. The American Association of Dental Schools at its meeting in Chicago in 1935, acting upon the suggestion of the Curriculum Survey Committee, passed a resolu- tion that, beginning with the opening of the school year in 1957, all dental schools in the United States would require two college years as an entrance requirement. The dental student should have a basic scientific background. The goal of dental edu- cation should not be graduation in medicine first and dentistry afterwards. Rather dental education should be further developed as an autonomous field of professional education even in view of the fact that the practice of dentistry is now and will be so closely asso- ciated with the prac- tice of medicine that some believe it should be considered a spe- cialized branch of that science. UNIVERSITY FORMAL P.ige Thirteen THE SCHOOL OF ECOGNI- TION of the School ol Education as a professional school has been so recent that it cannot lay claim to the venerable traditions of other schools of the University, a condition which may in part account icr the rather prevalent impression that preparation lor teaching may be an incident in the process of securing a liberal education, that a certain number of courses in education, taken without regard for sequence, continuity, or coordination, will pro- duce the trained teacher. The professional training of teach- ers must be thought of as the major aim of a university unit which con- trols the student ' s time and so regu- lates his program that it imparts the general and special knowledge and specialized skills, which should be at the command of the expert worker ■: y.

A school of education is an integral part of a Catholic university, devoted to the principles of true Catholic education, adamant in the belief that any training program which ignores UNIVERSITY FORMAL + Page Fourteen EDUCATION The headquarters ol the School ot Education are located in Sodality Hall. philosophy and religion has within it the virus ol disintegration. There- fore religious principles and the teachings ot scholastic philosophy are incorporated into the program through required courses that lead the student tc understand man ' s nature and his supernatural destiny. Thus, through the introduction of certain liberalizing elements, the tendency to set a premium on specialized skills is offset so that the emphasis is on the development of a capacity for adaptation, an indispensable asset for any teacher in the period when rapidly changing condi- tions must be dealt with. The how of teaching is important enough to warrant re cognition to the extent of calling for training that would be equivalent to a well-balanced major in an academic subject. Only too often the how has been emphasized at the expense of the what in teaching training programs, which is the same as saying that many teachers know how to teach but fail because they have insufficient knowledge of the subject which they are expected to teach. A semester of practice-teaching under expert supervision gives the senior the type of experience that is so necessary for success when he secures his first appoint- ment. Students who have been graduated from the School of Education are well qualified for any teaching post. UNIVERSITY FORMAL P.ige Fifteen J. THE SCHOOL The lower entrance of the Law School which leads to the University auditorium. N THIS period of change and transition, the com- plete dependence of individuals, caused by the mutations in the local, state, and federal governments, de- mands a more exacting and intense treatment of the present problems than can he furnished by the out- moded legal formulae of other years. The uncertainty and doubt that lingers in the air produces situations and difficulties which require careful legislation, involving new and radical procedures, in addition to a refash- ioning of our legal system. We are emerging from the depths of the worst depression the world has ever known, but business has not been completely revived. Commerce must be rebuilt from the very bottom; new financial methods must be instituted; agriculture must be protected; governments must assume additional responsibilities, and labor must be recognized as a potent factor in our social system. All this presents additional opportunities to the young lawyer who is able and willing to take advantage of the excellent opportunities offered. In order to prepare the future lawyer to meet these perplexing, manifold, and exacting problems, the Law School of St. Louis University has raised its standards, and requires a greater degree of academic excellence from its students. The lack of a general education has handi- capped many lawyers in the past and for this reason a two-year pre-legal course is required of those who wish to enter the Law School. This liberal education gives the young lawyer a more comprehensive viewpoint and a broader base of general knowledge — the foundations of good judgment . After entering the Law School, the student begins to see the law in practice. He studies the principles of the Alphonse G. Elierle, Dean of the School ot Law. UNIVERSITY FORMAL Piis,e Sixteen OF LAW profession and analyzes cases already decided in order to learn what has been done in the past. He begins to see how the law involves every phase ol human activity and endeavor. Throughout his courses the student is re- minded that the law is a liv- ing thing, a progressive social science, and that it has as its fundamental aim, the admin- istration oi justice. Christian ethics learned in the Catholic college and stressed in the Catholic law school supply enduring princi- ples, and render the practice of law more useful, humane, and stable. Whether it is admitted or not, the fact still remains that our system of laws had its origin in the Common Law of Europe which was basically Christian. The philosophical and moral ideals of the Catholic Church were embodied in the equitv jurisprudence ot England, which was under . . I ' , l-i ' ius A. Lilly, S.J., the direct control of the ecclesiastical chancellors. Regent of the School of Law. The Catholic law school student does not lose sight of this fact. He is trained to obey the teachings oi ethics in order to preserve the most precious heritage ot our law, namely, the principles of Catholic philosophy and Catholic ideals. Lastly, the Catholic lawyer, by constant fidelity to his religious and moral obligations, makes him- self worthy to practice the time-honored and time-tested profession of law in the courts of law. The Law School building, located on Lindell Boulevard was erected m 1 924. UNIVERSITY FORMAL Page Seventeen THE SCHOOL OF wHE purpose of the School of Medicine in St. Louis University is to prepare its students for the future practice of medicine. To do this, the school must necessarily contribute to the advancement of the science and ol the art of medicine. Rev. Alphonse M. Schvvi- talla, S.J.. Dean oi the School of Medicine. For achieving its primary and central purpose, the school has organized its teaching, in content and method, in such a way as to transmit faithfully and adequately the accumulated knowledge of the physical and mental characteristics of the human organism, of its structural and functional derangements and the prevention and treatment of disease. Stress is not laid upon tradition to such an extent, however, as to neglect the development of the critical faculty and of the inquiring attitude of mind. Through the cultivation of an active research spirit among students and faculty members alike, the school ' s efforts in develop- ing the student and promoting medicine are unified in a single objective. The school, however, cannot view its purpose within too narrow a limitation. It seeks to extend The portico of the Medical School building which gives entrance to the various science laboratories and classrooms. the influence of biological and medical science among others than students of medicine : first, among the other students and faculty members of the University, particu- larly in such schools as those of Dentistry, Nursing, Social Service, Education, and the College of Arts and Sciences; and then also among other members of the metropolitan and even larger communities, par- ticularly through its relation with local and national welfare agencies. In pursuance of the same purpose, the St. Louis University School of UNIVERSITY FORMAL Page Eighteen MEDICINE Medicine consistently encourages contribu- tions to scientific and broadly educational literature, particu- larly in the fields of basic biological sciences, o 1 m e d 1 c 1 n e a n d hygiene, and participa- tion in the programs of local, regional, and na- tional scientific societies. It strives, therefore, to instill into its students an appreciation of the place which the practice of medicine occupies and will occupy in human society. It seeks, more- over, to exemplify its teaching by its own pro- gram, and by its official attitude of cooperative understanding towards organized medicine, towards the professional, medical, and scientific associations, and towards the health and welfare agencies. Finally, through the development of facilities on a graduate level, both in the fundamental biological as well as in the clinical sciences, and through the award of fellowships, the school desires to stimulate the student ' s ambition for achieve- ment in specialization and to guarantee energetic, persistent, and effective adherence to the most exacting ideal in medical practice. These objectives can be achieved only through that basic philosophy and religious faith upon which the St. Louis University School of Medicine is founded. The Medical School viewed from the steps ot Desloge Hospital. UNIVERSITY FORMAL Page Nineteen S THE SCHOOL OF Rev. Joseph Husslein, S.J., Dean of the School of Social Service. _yHE School of Social Service has developed out of the demands ol our times and is the only school in the Southwest prepared to offer a professional education of social knowledge, social training, social wisdom and experience. Although the establishment of such a school presented many prob- lems, these were far outweighed by the importance of such an undertaking whose purpose is the safeguarding of Christian principles and influences no less than the promotion of technical knowledge and skill in the wide field of social work. The opportunities of the school, however, are open to all qualified students, Catholic or non-Catholic, who wish to avail themselves of them. That undergraduate preparation for social work should be pre-professional only is generally recognized, and this idea has been fully attained in the St. Louis University School of Social Service. Founded at a time when changes were rapidly taking place in the profes- sional fields, the school has con- sequently passed through many evolutions during its brief period of existence. In a certain sense the school, as at present constituted, has reached its final stage of develop- ment. This is true in so far as it is erected solidly on the basis of purely graduate work in the professional and technical courses. Its first year graduate curricu- lum, approved by the American Association of Schools and Social Work, suffices to render the stu- The verdant parkway be- tween the Administration building and the College Church.

At the same time it oilers the technical courses and field work requisite tor admission into the social worker ' s own professional organization. It, however, the student is ready to continue at college, he may enter the second year of graduate work studies. This is devoted to preparation lor the Master of Science degree in Social Work. The undergraduate curriculum of the school has been strengthened in proportion as the professional courses have been more and more exclusively confined to the two graduate years. By eliminating pro- The Administration building houses the offices ot the School of Social Service. lessional and technical courses in social work from the undergraduate section, it has become possible to construct an undergraduate curric- ulum containing all the desired academic and cultural elements, and at the same time offer- ing the lull preparation that the school requires lor graduate work. The student here not only obtains all the so- cial science courses nec- essary as prerequisites, but, what is more, lives i n a n atmos phe re in which the principles and ideals he needs most are carefully instilled. UNIVERSITY FORMAL Page Ttcetily-one THE SCHOOL C HE serious pursuit of the study of theology has never been rated as a mere fad or an unproductive luxury. The queen ot the sciences has been assiduously cultivated not only by the ancient fathers and the medieval scholastics, but by the modern university as well, and has steadfastly maintained its claim to a place of distinction in the hierarchy of subjects that make up the university curricula. But at a time like the present, when disap- pointed and doubting humanity is threatening to break with older ide- ologies in quest of untried, treacher- ous remedies in a desperate effort to stem the disintegration ot modern civilization, there arises an urgent call to emphasize the prime and vital need of correct thinking, correct pre- cisely in its theological implications. The Immaculata Chapel, located on the campus of the School of Divinity at St. Marv ' s, Kansas. A notable effort is now being put forth in various quarters to inject unity and coherence into the new godless system, so that it may appear to the mind that craves structural unity even in error, to be resting on a consistent atheology . Catholic theology, however, is reared on the solid basis of a divine revelation which the greatest thinkers of the ages have gradually moulded into the sc ' entific theolosv of the Catholic schools. The divinely guaranteed truths of God ' s revealed message to man alone give us the finally relevant and reliable data concerning man ' s true nature, his origin, destiny, and inherent dignity; and though on all these vital subjects the philosophy of the schools has contributions to make for our instruction and guidance, it is in the more far-reaching and subtile truths of revelation that we must find the UNIVERSITY FORMAL ♦ Page Twenty-two OF DIVINITY Rev.

The theology of God ' s revealed word, as presented eminently in the synthesis of St. Thomas Aquinas, is the chiei daily bread of the divinity student. Sacred scri pture, canon law, history, moral theology, and other allied subjects enrich and vary the program. 01 late the social pronouncements of recent Popes have received much attention owing to the urgency of the social problems that all the world faces, and that no one has faced with keener penetration and wiser insight into correct solutions than Leo XIII and Pius XI in their encyclical letters. The student body at St. Mary ' s is composed exclusively of members of the Jesuit order, who are completing their long careers of ecclesiastical training by four-year courses in systematic theology. It is the ambition of the School oi Divinity to send them forth after an intensive period of training in the sacred sciences into a puzzled world that feels more than ever the need of men with a strong grasp on the spiritual realities that are the hope of an age of materialism. mper S. J., Dean of the School of Divinity. UNIVERSITY FORMAL Vagi Twenty-three THE SCHOOL OF C HE sciences are generally regarded as being very much alive, as really doing things. Advance, discovery, invention are the shibboleths, the battle cry, or, it you like, the refrain of the cheer-leaders. Science spells progress, we are told, and there is no progress without change. Philosophy, on the other hand, is too often regarded as static, immobile, as a kind of ossification that settles on us out of a dead past. To those, however, actually, and actively, engaged in philosophy, it is vibrant with a life that goes deeper and ascends higher than any region stirred bv the sciences. Rev. J. Joseph Horst, SJ., Dean of the School of Phi- losophy and Science. Philosophers make a distinction between the sciences and the science. For philosophy is not merely one of the many sciences; rather it is the one unifying science of all the sciences that human ingenuity and inventiveness may give rise to. Philosophy, in this sense, is not a science, it is the science. The School of Philosophy and Science where the scholastics are trained in the principles of Scholastic Philosophy. Nor does this position of philosophy as the central, unifying science imply a depreciation of the particular sci- ences. Quite the contrary, philosophy lives by the life of other sciences. If they die, it dies; their successes are its success. The answers which the sci- entist gives for his problems are not answers to the philosopher, they are but questions for which the philoso- pher must find an answer. The drive of all the sciences is concen- trated in the philosopher ' s effort to achieve the further solution for which human reason clamors.

In science these are the experimenters; they are in close contact with the hardest of hard tacts. But they are grouped into larger and larger units, each unit being governed by a definite plan according to the information and the successes reported from the front. These units represent the varying degrees oi speculative science. Speculative science is not to be despised; if true to its office, it presents us with the sound results of the combined experience within its purview. Aquinas Hall where scholastics live while attending the Umversitv. «$ Philosophy is the Central Stall. And, it true to its office, it will present us with the sound conclusions to be drawn from the data of all the sciences. It must not be thought, however, that philosophy is identical with general physics, or general experimental psychology, or general history. The particular sciences may be grouped in this way, but even all of them grouped together would not make up philosophy. The sciences discover facts and are satis- fied with proximate causes and expla- nations of the facts. Philosophy has its own task, and that is to find the ultimate causes, and to pursue the explanations as far as human reason will so. Philosophy and science, as under- stood at St. Louis University, are not two totally independent disciplines. They interpenetrate one another and so organize the whole body of human knowledge that it constitutes a harmo- nious unit. The scientist and philoso- pher are one and the same man. 1 life ,i n ill iflfil ;5t- ' i n L.„ jtr i UNIVERSITY FORMAL Page Twenty-five s THE SCHOOL OF V_ HE School of Nursing is one of the most recently organized of the University, being still within the first decade of its existence. In this com- paratively short period of time, nevertheless, it has exerted a far-reaching influence both in the field of nursing and nursing education. From various parts of the United States, nurses have come to take advantage ot the opportunities offered to broaden their horizons, and to add to their professional skill the cultural knowl- edge necessary to the deepening of the concept of nursing ideals. After achieving their goal, the nurses have, in many instances, gone forth to do pioneer work in fields in which the safeguarding of Catholic principles and the upholding of Catholic interests is an important part of their services to their fellow men. The Catholic ideal of nursing is perhaps best expressed when it is interpreted in the words of the Master when He said, What you have done unto these, the least of My brethren, you have done unto Me. But the attainment of this ideal demands more than mere knowledge, more than a certain manual skill and The Firmin Desloge Hospital which has greatly augmented the facilities ot the School of Nursing.

In this program sufficient scope is provided to enable students possessing minimum entrance requirements, as well as those with advanced credits, to follow an educationally profitable sequence of courses. The curriculum con- tains cultural and humanistic courses, including philosophy and religion, equiva- lent in credit-value to a minimum of one-halt of the number of semester hours required for the degree. Every effort is made to conform to, and in many respects to exceed, the requirements of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Nursing, of which the School of Nursing of St. Louis University is a charter member. A great advance was made in increasing St. Louis University ' s capacity for nursing education when the schools of Nursing of St. John ' s and St. Mary ' s Hospitals were incorporated with that of St. Louis University. This incorporation brought about not only a more unified form of administration with representatives of all the units, but also established a unified curriculum, and brought the educa- tion of the undergraduate nurses under the control of the University. The develop- ment of this school of Nursing at St. Louis University is due, in great part, to the influence of the Association of the Collegiate Schools of Nursing, an organiza- tion established in December, 1935.

The Fontbonne College is a very essential part of the movement that is attempting to destroy that false notion. Recognizing that the old standards, which frowned upon anything more than a high school education, are inadequate and insufficient as a preparation for a good Catholic life, Fontbonne College has adapted herself to the times, ever adding new and modern courses to the curriculum.

IE Department of Anatomy, one oi the fixe departments in existence at the time St. Louis University took over the Marion-Sims-Beaumont School of Medicine, has a varied history. The original department is today embraced in the courses ol tour or five other departments. The Department of Biology became a separate and distinct department in 1925, and in 1929 the Department of Microanatomy was instituted as an out- growth of the original department. The department has been conspicuous for its activity in almost all the major developments of the School. In 1903, when Dr. Albert hvcleshymer became its first director under the University, as many as fourteen different courses were actually being given by the department. Special courses were offered in the anatomy of the eye, nose and throat, the brain, the ear, the pelvis, and surgical anatomy. When Dr. Eycleshymer was called to the University of Illinois, Dr. Pohlman became the second director. In 1950 Professor Schoemaker succeeded Dr. Pohlman, and remains as director today maintaining and even exceeding the traditions of his predecessors in a modern fully equipped department. UNIVERSITY FORMAL Page Tbirty-lhree ASTRONOMY • . s V_ 0 THE undergraduate, the Department of Astronomy offers an eight credit hour course consisting of lectures illustrated with lantern slides, and laboratory work. This course may be taken in fulfillment oi the science requirements lor the Bachelor ol Arts degree. More advanced courses are available to those who wish to major or minor in astronomy, and graduate courses leading to even higher degrees are offered whenever there is sufficient demand. The department has a three-inch telescope with equatorial mounting which can be set up on a concrete pier in the courtyard and used for simple observation. Other telescopes, ranging up to twelve inches, are additional equipment, and it is hoped that a donation will soon allow the department to house the latter in an observatory. Additional apparatus for advanced work consists of an electrical calculating machine, a Gaertner Comparator for the measurement of stellar specimens, and a self-registering microphotometer recently constructed by Mr. F. W. Sprmgnether, Jr. This instrument will enable the department to continue its program of spectroscopical research. Articles in the leading astronomical journals report at intervals on the results. The director of the department is often consulted by local newspapers on astronomical events of general interest in St. Louis and vicinity. In addition to these activities a great part of his time is devoted to the teaching of Physics. Astronomy, of course, is one of the oldest of the sciences; back in the time of the early Greek civiliza- tion men were devoting their whole lives to the very study which is available to the student in the form of matter assimilated through the ages. ♦ Dr. Charles J.

UNIVERSITY FORMAL Page Thirty-five BIOCHEMISTRY BIOCHEMISTRY was sep- arated from Chemistry and organized as an inde- pendent department in 1923. Since that date the instructional staff has been increased from four to nine and the curriculum from two to ten courses. With the increase in activities of the department it was apparent that additional space was neces- sary. In 1928 the construction ol a new wing to the medical building gave additional laboratories, and in 1930 more space was secured by utilizing a small building adjacent to the medical school. Most ot the new courses offered by the bio- chemistry department are for the training of gradu- ate students in biochemistry and allied depart- ments, while a tew are to aid the University in rounding out the educational program of students in other departments of the various schools. Since the beginning of graduate instruction in biochemistry nine students have obtained the doctorate and four others have received master s degrees.

Moreover, all seniors obtain the benefit of direct experience in observing business man- agement at work. This is accomplished through a placement training program, by which, for an entire semester, the student spends three full days each week in a business establishment, where in laboratory fashion he sees and studies the operation of business, under competent guidance. Upon management rests the responsibility for an accurate vision ot purposes and a workable plan to accomplish them, for an effective organization of men and ot things to execute the plan, and for close and practical, but nevertheless humane devices to control the organization.

It is therefore apparent that the loss of natural teeth, whether due to disease, accident, or whatever the cause, is a serious matter, and that in all efforts directed towards the promotion and safeguarding of health, we are confronted with two highly important considerations: first, the conserva- tion of teeth; and second, their replacement when lost.

Since he was given the directorship in 1912, viewpoints on dermatology have changed profoundly. In the last two decades the dermatological findings in the countless diseases — ranging from the obvious ones of measles and leprosy to the baffling variations in allergic reactions — have raised the science of dermatology to an importance which is almost universal in medicine. A large teaching responsibility has always been carried by the department which, at the present, is giving instruction in four different centers. Its major activities are concentrated in the new out-patient department of the Firmin Desloge Hospital and in the dispensary of the St. Louis City Hospital. The department was established when the Marion-Sims-Beaumont School of Medicine was acquired by St. Louis University. Dr. J. H.

UNIVERSITY FORMAL + Page Forty-six EXPRESSION V. HERE is no more pitiful plight than that of the scholar who has no tongue, or that of the man full of useful knowledge which he cannot impart to his fellow men. No man, an old English scholar said, should be like a barrel without a bung- hole, lull of precious matter that must always remain useless. Now all men, m receiving an education and using it, have a dual role to fulfill — one individual, the other social. As long as a man keeps his information to him- self and perfects himself only, he is fulfilling only one of the roles. To realize the other he must communicate with his fellows. But there are only two mediums of communication available to him, the written word and the spoken. Of increasing importance in modern days is the power of the spoken word. With the advent and development of the radio, with men becoming more interested in social, political, and economic questions, it is patent that eloquent leaders are needed — men who are informed ami who can impart information to their followers. They must not be ignorant; neither should they be mute. It is evident that college men of today are expected to be the leaders of tomorrow. nether their ideals and their ideologies are to prevail depends on their effective and insistent presentation. The Department of Expression does not believe that mere fluency may be substituted for knowledge, but it does insist that knowledge with- out the power of utterance loses its social effec- tiveness. To prepare students in a practical manner for life, to enable them to meet all sorts of persons and to communicate effectively with them, is the purpose of the instruction given in the Department of Expression. ♦ Dr. Ralph B.

In modern business, actual money is only used for small transactions, and credit in some form or another is used in nearly all major operations. The Department of Finance attempts to give students a thorough understanding of money and credit, from the standpoint of both theory and practice. The department is not content to teach theory alone. Facilities are provided for giving students who display more than ordinary interest training in practical financial work, not only the make-believe kind, but, in many cases, the actual contact with business institutions. In these days when such topics as devaluation, the gold standard, monetary inflation, and international stabilization are common subjects of conversation, an understanding of the more elementary principles ot finance is essential to every well-educated individual. To make a difficult phase of economics understandable to the casual student, to give a working knowledge of a highly important business-fundamental to the student who enters general business, and to build a solid foundation of theory and practice for the student who wishes to make finance his life work, is the aim of the Department of Finance.

UNIVERSITY FORMAL ♦ Pj.Ke Fifty-one HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATION 5 , URING the past few years, the specialized aspects of hospital science have all undergone noteworthy development due to the pressure of associations and of specialists. This development has been traceable to the educational preparation progressively demanded of those who qualify for professional positions in these various subdivisions of medicine and of hospital science. It is remarkable that until comparatively recently this wave of educational development has failed to reach the administrators and especially the superintendents of these institutions in which educational influence upon the subordinate personnel has been so marked. ♦ Miss Irene Morris.

Schwitalla, S.J., A.M., Ph.D., director of the Department of Hospital Administration. Many indications, however, suggest a trend towards the recognition of the need of specialized educational preparation for hospital superintendents and other hospital administrators. St. Louis University regards itself as being peculiarly fitted to undertake responsi- bilities for the development of a curriculum in this particular field. The University has developed around itself an intricate network of hospitals, each diverse in its aim and organization, in its mode of manage- ment and control. Thus, under a centralized adminis- tration, there can be readily put at the disposal of a student, tor investigation and research, a large variety of institutions with reference to objectives, size, and mode of manage ment. Fairly unanimous agreement has been reached by interested students upon the general classes of courses through which the hospital administrator should be led along an educational path.

The laboratory technologist is finding numerous opportunities for useful and stimulating employment in hos- pital laboratories, the research laboratories of industrial organizations, the health centers of welfare organizations, physicians ' offices, and in research laboratories of colleges and universities. The first two years of the curriculum in laboratory technology are basic, and comprise the college courses which are generally regarded as prerequisites for advanced study in the sciences. Special stress is laid upon the basic sciences as preparation for upper division courses. General cultural subjects are also introduced for the purpose of balancing the curriculum. During the third and fourth years the student completes her technological studies. Six separate fields are covered: bacteriology, serology, pathology, bio- chemistry, clinical microscopy, and he matology. The student pursues studies in each of these laboratories for periods varying from one and one-half to two and one-half months. In the laboratory the immediate supervision of the student is entrusted to an instructor who has already received her bachelor ' s degree in this field. ♦ Rev. Alphonse M. Schwitalla. S.J., A.M..

LR huge modern world of business concerns itselt chiefly with the production and exchange of countless useful goods and services upon which mankind depends for the satisfaction of its material wants and many of its non-material needs. The term marketing applies to those activities of commerce and industry which contribute to the actual sale and movement of goods from producer to consumer. Marketing thus embraces not only selling and advertising, but also storing, transporting, financing, and collecting and dissemi- nating market information. Merchandising — a special phase of marketing — consists of creating or selecting goods which may embody the characteristics demanded or preferred by the users of these goods. All students in the School of Commerce and Finance take at least one funda- mental course in Marketing. Many students elect this field as their major study. Those who wish to prepare themselves for careers in marketing work, are required to take courses which are designed to acquaint them with the functions and problems of the important types of market institutions, such as retailers, whole- salers, brokers, cooperative enterprises and commodity exchanges. UNIVERSITY FORMAL Page Fifty-six MATHEMATICS JHE Department of Mathe- matics, in endeavouring to instil into its students an understanding of the technique of mathematics, is but fostering in its domain the spirit of human- istic education which is characteristic of a Jesuit school. Humanistic education pretends to educate the whole man, to develop to their appropriate standards of excellence such instincts, impulses, traits, propensities, and powers as are part of our human nature. And is not logical rigor that is, clarity, precision, and coherence in thinking — part of rational human nature? Hence, in demanding the proper attitude toward precision of ideas, clarity of expression, and allegiance to the eternal laws of thought, mathematics is but performing its duty to humanistic education. How much mathematical training is essential to the appropriate education of men and women as human beings? To this question the Department of Mathe- matics answers in the words of an eminent mathemat ician that it is the amount necessary to give them a fair understanding of rigor as the standard of logical rectitude and there- ♦ Rev.

Courses in microanatomy, consequently include some of the most fundamental work in the medical curriculum. The Department of Microanatomy has existed in the School of Medicine since 1930. Previous to that time, microanatomy was included in the Department of Anatomy. When the Department of Microanatomy was created, Professor Albert Kuntz was appointed director; he has administered the department since that time. The teaching of microanatomy was not new to Professor Kuntz when he was appointed to that position, since he had been associated with the Depart- ment of Anatomv since 1914. ♦ Dr. Albert Kuntz.

Having, it is true, but a few short years of existence (it was organized only in 1930), one is forced to admit that the department is rather small in terms of the number of students registered ior the single elective course which it offers. Adverting, however, to terms oi value and the infinite riches which are given to the student, to be forever his, the department immediately assumes an importance far exceeding that of others more pretentiously represented in the registrar ' s sacred volumes.

Resting in one man, the entire functions of the organization revolve around him and his work; he is at the same time director, professor, and instructor; he is the manager and adviser. Lastly, he is the builder and guardian of all apparatus of whose possession the department may boast. Equipment is the most necessary adjunct to the success of the courses offered, and it is aroun d this equipment that Rev. Hubert Gruender, S.J., has built the department. Not unduly elaborate, the electric phonograph which he designed is probably the finest and most accurate reproducer of recorded music to be had; the records which are used have been judiciously gathered, and are not only of the finest quality, but have been carefully selected as well as regards the compositions themselves. Enjoyment of the music is made more complete by the detailed (and frequently sparklingly humorous) descriptions and analyses of the intricate forms of the classical music played.

The curriculum in the School of Nursing, the supervision of nursing service, and the administration ot schools of nursing are the more important branches of training engaged in by the student. The field of nursing education, although embracing a large and complex study, is comparatively recent in its inculcation into the School of Nursing curriculum.

Professor. PERATIVE dentistry was formerly much broader in scope than it is at the present time. It originally included most of the operations per- formed by the dentist at the chair, just as prosthetic dentistry formerly embraced all of the laboratory procedure. Owing to our constantly increasing knowledge, however, and the consequent growth of dentistry as a profession, numerous sub- divisions or specialties have arisen, which, although still really a form of operative procedure, and, as such, a part of operative dentistry, are now taught as separate branches; similar subdivisions have occurred in prosthetic dentistry, though not to such a large extent. As a result, the modern text-book on operative dentistry should now be rather definitely limited to a discussion of the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of infections of the oral cavity resulting from dental caries, erosion, or abrasion, from exposure or infection of the dental pulp and its sequelae, and of manifestations of pathological disturbances of the peridental membrane resulting from pulp disease. The adequate cures for these diseases are offered to the student by the Department of Operative Dentistry.

The clinic was located on the ground iloor and consisted ot one large treatment room and one dark-room; operations were carried on in the treat- ment room, hut upon completion ol Rehekah Hospital, were performed in its operating room. From the very beginning the eye clinic attracted a gratifying number of patients, the daily attend- ance during the first year numbering lrom twenty to twenty-live patients.

Instruction in this phase of dentistry is given only in the junior and senior years, each semester of these years embodying a course in one or more particular aspects of the subject. In the junior year lectures are given on exodontia and anesthesia; the student spends as well some time in injecting and extracting teeth under the supervision of the instructor. Oral surgery, with special emphasis being placed on fractures and their treat- ment, is studied by the student in the senior year; clinical work also occupies much of his time. The schedule of study pursued in the Oral Surgery and Exodontia Depart- ment, offering a firm foundation in theory and coupled with practical clinical observation and application, is well formulated to equip the student with the knowledge of the subject essential in general practice.

Orthodontia may be defined as that science which has for its object the prevention and correc- tion of dental and oral anomalies —it is in short, a study of the growth and development of the oral and dental tissues. A review of the orthodontia literature of the past thirty years, as it has appeared in various books and journals, will con- vince one that the subject is without doubt the broadest and most comprehensive branch of dentistry. Dr. Joseph H. Williams, D.D.S., director ot the Department ot ( )rt hotli nt la. Modern orthodontia is probably more nearly a distinct specialty than any other branch ot dentistry, and has always been recognized as a difficult subject to teach to undergraduate dental students. Only about 55 years old as a specialty, the subject has developed to the point where it is almost as broad m scope as is the profession of dentistry itself. ♦ Virgil A. Kiraraey. D.D.S. Assistant. f-S «v £l An effort is made to impart to the student a s nearly com- plete a working knowledge of the science as time will permit. It is, however, impossible with the time allowed to train men to the point where they can be considered competent ortho- dontists upon graduation. The course covers all phases of the subject from the proper manipulation of plaster and impression- taking to the mechanical and practical work with patients in the clinic. The student is taught to recognize cases ot mal-occlusion and every effort is made to teach the causes of such conditions so that prevention may be practiced in connection with the general practice of dentistry. UNIVERSITY FORMAL Pjge Sixty-seven ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY RTHOPEDIC Surgery is that division of surgery which deals with the correc- tion and the prevention of deformities and disabili- ties of the framework of the human body. Origi- nally this branch of surgery was limited to the straightening of deformities in children. In time, as it became evident that the prevention of deformi- ties and disabilities was as important as their cure, the scope of the specialty broadened, so that today in addition to the treatment of existing deform- ities, it includes the treatment of those infections of bones, joints, bursae, muscles, tendons, and other structures that lead to the production of deformity and disability. The departmental staff consists of one pro- fessor and director, three associate, one senior, and two assistant professors. Instruction in orthopedic surgery is given in Top row — Alexander E.

In the junior year didactic lectures are given to the entire class once a week throughout the second semester. Throughout the senior year practical instruc- tion is given daily to small groups of students in the wards and out-patient clinics of the University Hospital, the City Hospital and the associated hospitals. The aim is primarily to make the senior student practically familiar with the subjects taught didactically in the junior year. This is accomplished by permitting him to examine patients illustrating those subjects. In addition, patients illustrating other interesting conditions are demonstrated as opportunity permits.

N 1906 the Departments of Nose and Throat, the Department l Otology, and the Department ol Ophthalmology united to form the Department ol Otolaryngology. This department began under Dr. H. W. Loeb, who held this position until his death in 1927. The present director, Dr. William E. Sauer, was appointed professor ol oto- laryngology in 1927 and director oi the department in 1929. With over two thousand volumes on otolaryn- gology, mostly donated by Dr. Loeb, and regular subscriptions to ten journals on otolaryngology, the library of the Medical School is virtually complete on diseases of ear, nose, and throat. Idle most recent development in this department has been the establishment of a post-graduate course of three years, leading to the degree of Master of Otolaryngology. Top row — E.

The changes which have taken place in the departments ot pathology in the various medical schools throughout the country offer an accurate history ot American medicine; likewise, the grow- ing importance of pathology in the field of medi- cine emphasizes the transition of medicine from an art to a science. Pathology and clinical pathology are basic factors in clinical instruction m many fields of modern medicine. The develop- ment ot this department is, therefore, one ot the chief charges of St. Louis University and has at its disposal the many facilities of the University.

UNIVERSITY FORMAL Pjge Seventy-one PHARMACOLOGY INCE 1904 the Department of Physiology had been called the Department of Physi- ology, Physiological Chemistry, or Pharmacology. This continued until 1921, when with the coming of Dr. John Auer the Department ot Pharmacology sprang into existence. Then the department achieved its place in the plan of medical education. In 1921, a keen judgment of educational values in medicine impelled our authorities to separate pharmacology from physiology. In the intervening years, the new Department of Pharmacology was gradually equipped to fulfill its main functions; first, to teach the medical student the scientific basis upon which the rational use of therapeutic interventions necessarily rests. This is accom- plished by selected, basic experiments performed by the student himself under careful and unobtrusive supervision, and supplemented in the following semester by a course of lectures. Secondly, the function of the department is to increase scientific knowledge. During its existence, the department has published original work on skin reflexes causing sensory and motor disturbances, motor phenomena of the intestinal tract, studies of functional activities of red corpuscles in hanging drop preparations, effects of theelin on the fowl, actions of cholin derivatives on smooth muscles of the eye, and ♦ Lloyd D.

In his teaching, Dr. Auer leans strongly upon physiology; in fact the students are convinced that their insight into physi- ology is deepened by their course in pharmacology. In order to develop the student ' s intellectual independence and judgment, the laboratory work precedes the didactic course by one semester; thus the course provides the scientific basis upon which the rational use of therapeutic interference necessarily exists. UNIVERSITY FORMAL Page Seventy-two PHILOSOPHY j. N consonance with the gen- eral aim oi the University to give a profound as well as an extensive education, philosophy — the science that interprets hie in its fundamentals — has always occupied a position ol honor in its curriculum. The Department ol Philosophy and Science essays the teaching not only ol systematic philoso- phy according to the Scholastic system, but also ol the history oi philosophy itself. Founded in the eighth century upon the Augustinian tradition, this philosophy gradually developed until it attained a golden maturity in the thirteenth cen- tury, with the incorporation oi Aristotelian thought; it is the presentation oi this thought and its present day application in Neo-Scholasticism to which the department aspires.

UNIVERSITY FORMAL ♦ Page Seventy-three PHYSICAL EDUCATION I % HEN the unique values of a program of physical education were first realized by educators, St. Louis University inaugu- rated a system of athletics which offered participa- tion to all its students. Today the Department of Physical Education has an important place in our educational scheme. ♦ Edwin N. Hall, Assistant; Edward E. Marshall, Assistant. ♦ Walter C. Eberhardt. director of the Department of Physical Education. Only a few sports were offered to the student in the early years oi the gymnasium. Now, however, the curriculum offers activity not only for the outstanding athlete but also lor the average student. An all sports program, consisting of intramural tournaments, has been organ- ized, including elimination tournaments in basketball, baseball, volleyball, swimming, track, handball, and badminton. Teams made up of students from all of the schools of the University take part. This program serves to acquaint the student with a large variety of sports. Instruction and equip- ment in boxing, wrestling, and tumbling are sup- plied tor the use of all the students who are interested in these types of athletics. A course in physical education is required of all students. This course consists of a rigid phys- ical examination, one semester of conditioning and strengthening work, and one semester of boxing or swimming. Every student is required to learn how to swim, and instruction in boxing is offered to whomever desires it. UNIVERSITY FORMAL Page Seventy-four PHYSICAL THERAPY wHE demand tor competent physical therapy assistants in hospitals and similar institutions which are devoted to the care of the sick has been responsible for the organization of a department of physical therapy technology. The movement began with the recognition ot the need of physical therapy in the treatment ot the sick by the American Medical Association. At the present time the department is administered under the School of Nursing with two types of courses offered: first, one leading to a degree of Bachelor of Science in physical therapy and secondly, one for students who wish to specialize in a particular branch of physical therapy. j S ♦ Dr. Alexander J. Kotkis, B.S., M.D., director of the Department ot Physical Therapy. The student follows the elementary courses in anatomy, bacteriology, physiology, and pathology, and in the special courses in physical therapy he studies hydrotherapy, massage, electrotherapy, thermo- therapy, phototherapy, and their related subjects. Those in the first group are listed as freshman-sophomore subjects and those in the latter as junior-senior subjects. The student is required to comply with the regular University standards for the Bachelor of Science Degree, which include fifteen semester hours in philoso- phy. In his third and fourth years the student devotes most of his time to laboratory and clinical studies in both the Medical School and the University hospital. The scholarship requirements are the same as those for other students in the same courses. The American Physiotherapy Association and the council on physical therapy technology of the American Medical Association have made no provision for hospital experience in the technique of physical therapy in their curriculum, but the University board on undergraduate studies requires a four months course in such specialized training. The aim of the University is to develop physical therapy assistants who will carry on their work not so much by rote as on the basis of a well-rounded theoretical training. There are also individual courses for special students in physical therapy who cannot follow the entire curriculum. UNIVERSITY FORMAL Page Seventy-five PHYSICS A Rev. James I.

LTHOUGH it draws the majority of its students for fundamental courses from the College of Arts and Sciences, the Schools oi Dentistry and Nursing are also represented in the classes of the Department of Physics, for here many students wish to lay a broad foundation for future work in these fields. The more advanced courses are attended largely by graduate students either majoring or minoring in physics. Research is, of course, carried on assiduously. Dr. F. E. Poindexter and his students have studied the surface tension of liquid metals, including mercury, both in vacuum and in the presence of certain gases. Various problems in photography, such as the influence of pressure on the formation of the latent image, have been investigated. A line of research on solarization at low intensities resulted in interesting and curious discoveries. The Poin- dexter Effect .discovered in 1931, has gone into the history of photography. Dr. Brady and his students have given themselves mostly to problems in photoelectricity — the emission of electrons from various metals under the action of light. Among the topics investigated was the sensitization of thin potassium films by means of glow discharge in hydrogen. ♦ Top rou — Franklin E. Poindexter, A.M., Ph.D., Assist- ant Professor; Charles f.

When the teeth are lost by accident or disease, or are surgically removed, the physiological functions which they exercise are impaired, and changes take place in the surrounding tissues which may have a material effect upon personal appearance. It is the purpose of dental prosthesis to provide the means for restoration of these functions to a satisfactory standard of per- formance, and to re-establish the appearance of those areas of the face which the loss ot teeth has affected. It is proposed therefore, in this department, that in instruction and teach- Dr. James V. Templeton, D.D.S.. director of the Depart- ment ot Prosthetic Dentistry. ing, the presentation of principles and technics must not be considered as the final thought in this field of service, but rather as a means of applying foundation principles to an ever changing technic. Changes may come again and again; there may be a wide difference of opinion as to the methods that should be used; but the functional needs of the patients will remain the same always. We expect, in the Prosthetic Department, to avail ourselves, to the benefit of our students, of the opportunity of having appear in our school the men of outstanding ability from all over the country, that we may be benefited by their experi- ences and findings; we cannot stand still; we must be ever advancing. ♦ Top row— George E.

This is, of course, an erroneous idea for since men inhabited the earth they have been interested in the problems of human nature and ol human behavior. The early Greek philosophers speculated about the human soul, and arrived at some most acute and accurate conclusions regarding its nature, its origin, and its potencies. The great schoolmen ol the Middle Ages refined this knowledge and amplified it in the light oi Christian revelation, and psychology has always been an essential branch ot this scholastic philosophy. It would be a sad mistake to discard the genuine findings oi psychology because the science has suffered from the ill-advised enthusiasm oi its admirers or the false philosophy of some of its proponents. It is to be expected that our knowledge of human conduct will be still iurther increased, provided a sane philosophy protects psychology against its own vagaries and extravagances. This viewpoint dominates the Department oi Psychology ot St. Louis University. Its ambition is to offer the prospective specialist a thorough training in theoretical and laboratory psychology; the department is mindful, as well, oi the many students who are anxious to pursue studies in psychology, either through a natural interest, or through a wish to acquire a better understanding oi human nature and thus equip themselves for a more hopeiul success in their future hie-work. More than forty courses that deal with different psychology topics provide an ample field for selection. UNIVERSITY FORMAL •t- Page Eighty PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING v_ HE St. Louis University School of Nursing was organized in September, 192S. The organization was accomplished by the unification ol administrative control, of curricula, and of teaching personnel in two previously existing schools of nursing (that of St. John ' s Hospit al and that of St. Mary ' s Hospital) and by the foundation of a new School of Nursing at the Alexian Brothers ' Hospital. Thus the Department of Public Health Nursing, as well as many other departments related to the School of Nursing, was formally added to the possi- bilities presented to the students of St. Louis University. The Department of Public Health Nursing offers to the student nurse who is interested in the welfare of society studies in subjects such as Sanitary Science, Child Development, and Health and Social Problems and Their Treatment, which would otherwise be inaccessible to her. The courses in the Department of Public Health Nursing are such as to give the embryo nurse both theoretical and practical training in this field; the training is both thorough in technical skill and broadening in cultural achievement. These special curricula in public health nursing, as well as those in the other departments in the School of Nursing, were so designed as to afford the student a broad cultural basis upon which the super-structure of specialization may be built. The double objective of aiding the student in her self-development and the profession in its progressive evolution has suggested to the Uni- versity the importance of a program on a graduate level in various fields related to nursing and nursing education and in the health and welfare of the public. Anna Louise Kinney, R. N., B.S., director oi the Department ol Public Health Xursinsr. UNIVERSITY FORMAL Page Eighty-one RADIOLOGY ' AINT LOUIS UNIVER- SITY Medical School was among the first to recognize the importance of radiology and to establish a department devoted to this study. In its early stages, the science of radiology was more of a physical than a medical problem ; the main concern of the radiologist was .to secure an impres- sion on a photographic plate which would be of diagnostic value. On this account many of the early workers in the radiological field were not physicians. In 1920 the Department ot Radiology was first established by the school under medical direction with the appointment of Dr. L. R. Sante. A course of lectures and clinical demonstrations was formulated for the teaching of the science. This has been enlarged upon and modified from time to time. With the acquisition of new members to the teaching staff, a more comprehensive course has been earned out. The facilities of the Radiology Department at the Saint Louis City Hospital added much in this expansion of the activity of the department. Dr. LeRoy Sante, iM.D., director of the Department oi Radiology. Plans for the future development of radiological teaching embrace the addition of a graduate course in radiology as a specialty, with grant- ing of a degree for such work, com- pilation of a text book for medical students, and more comprehensive supplementary work for graduate students.

HE history of the Department of Religion, as it exists m its present form ami in the present choice ot means to its determined purpose, begins ten years ago. Realizing acutely the momentous changes that were about to occur ami were occurring in the world of religious thought, the department determined to take the initiative and to pioneer in a measure the selection of courses and ot material and methods used in these courses. 1 he result has been a somewhat unusual approach to the central problem of the department —the problem of best fitting the undergraduate with the means, motives, and intellectual bases of determined, fruitful, vital Catholic Action. The Department of Religion considers that it is its privilege and duty to show the continuity of thought in the microcosm of the University, to coordinate otherwise disparate elements, to distinguish and clearly to set forth the guiding principles which support, vivify, and are in fact the sole reason for the entire University ' s existence. As the department is building, is not static, it is so planned that in the future it may expand the upper division work until such time as majors in rehaion mav be offered, and, finally, degrees. UNIVERSITY FORMAL P.ige Eighty-three SOCIAL WORK Rev. Joseph Husslein, S.J., A.M., Ph.D., director of the Department or Social Work. V_ HE Department of Social Work was established in 1930; it came into being with the foundation of the School of Social Service, one of whose major purposes was the training ol social workers along lines of correct philosophic and religious principles. The basic social case work courses were given by Charlotte Ring. New and fuller develop- ments in the family and child welfare field took place with the arrival of Weltha M. Kelley as full-time director of social case work; the duties of this position became a great responsibility and a second full time faculty member, Edmund J. Radzuk, was added to this section of the social work department. A two-year graduate curriculum in medical social work was added under the direction of Irene Morris, and eight graduate fellowships in medical social work were offered by the University, this being made possible by the cooperation of the School of Medicine. The plan provides for four vacancies a year. The first degree of Master of Science in Medical Social Case Work was given in July, 1934. At first professional and technical courses in generic social work were eiven to undergraduates, but now the Department of Social Work is purely graduate, and consists of a first year curricu- lum in generic work, and, in second year, of various specialized cases. ♦ Miss Weltha M.

Entirely new possibilities now opened up tor this.

So far as surgery is concerned, the second year is devoted to a lecture-demonstration course, in which method is learned, and to a course in the clinics where the method is put into practice; the student is thus prepared for his third year, in which he begins the study of the principles of surgery. In this year he has a review of his knowledge of anatomy, especially as it relates to surgery. In addition, several hours a week of clinical work are required; at this time the student is given instruction in fractures and dislocations. The fourth year man is relieved almost entirely of lecture courses in order that he may become better acquainted with the practice of medicine; three months in suraerv are demanded of this final vear.

HREE years ago a New Deal in sports was started at the University. The past two years saw many developments in this new sports program, chief of which were the revival of baseball and track, and the naugura- tion of ice hockey. Significant developments during this year included an invitation to join the Missouri Valley Conference, which was accepted; the reorganization oi the swim- ming team; the appointment oi the Rev. George C. Hilke, S.J., to the position of faculty moderator of athletics; and the formation of an Athletic Council to guide and formulate athletic policies. Members ot the council are: Father Hilke; Rev. Wilford M. Mallon, S.J., assistant dean of the College of Arts and Sciences; Dr. Ralph A. Kinsella, director of the Department ol Internal Medicine; Earl Painter, lawyer alumnus; and Walter E. Braeckel, lecturer in accounting. ♦ Athletic Director Cecil E. Mueller leile figures out next year ' s grid prospects. Following the expansion of the sport program one can easily see the greater emphasis that is being constantly put on the sports inaugurated by the New Deal . This emphasis, in cohesion with the intramural program developed by Walter C. Eber- hardt, has given more students a chance to engage in sport activities than at any other period in the history oi the University. Too much credit cannot be given to Cecil E. Muellerleile, athletic director and head iootball coach, who is concluding his third year as director oi Bilhken athletics, ior this renaissance of athletics. Football was again coached by former St. Louis University grid satellites, with Muellerleile, holding the coaching reins, assisted by Dr. Titus Cornell on the line and Carl Pike in the backfield.

This marked the close oi a football season that saw the Blue and hite start very slowly, lint come down the stretch in fine form and turn a near-disastrous season into a successlul one. Hampered by the inauguration oi a new style oi play, and by the poorest material in years, the Blue and White cagers gave their new coach, Eddie Davidson, a poor reception as they suiiered their worst season in eleven years. Road trips proved the particular jinx oi the Royal Blue as they tailed to win a road game until late in the season, and on one occasion dropped five games in a row on a foreign campaign. Saving features were the improvement in the play oi returning cagemen as the season drew to a close, and a fine freshman quintet which augers well for the future. Under the leadership of Ed Hall, a former track ace at Kansas, the track squad entered upon an extensive schedule. While tailing to develop an outstanding team, individual stars were prominent and represented the Blue and White capably in many meets. Although making but its second appearance at the University, the ice hockey team developed into a powerful, high-scoring quintet which easily overcame all its opponents.

This sports-for-all program, which has been growing more popular every year, again attracted a large number of teams. University publicity for all sport activities was again in the capable hands of George E. Killenberg.

Muellerleile, the Royal Blue gridders dined in royal style on Bear Meat Thanksgiving afternoon, trouncing their tradi- tional rivals, Washington L , 21 to 6. Five triumphs, four losses, and one deadlock is the way the record book lists the Billiken football campaign for 1936. However, reading between the lines of the official record, we find that the Bills closed the season with a sensational rush, winning four out of their last five games and gaining a moral victory by bowing, 13-7, to Don Faurot ' s powerful Missouri Tigers in their only defeat during this run of conquests. Opening the season with a bang, the Blue and White eleven handed the Missouri School of Mines from Rolla a 31-18 drubbing. It was an anticipated victory for the Blue gridmen over their perennial foes, but scarcely anyone expected the Rollamen to put up such a battle. The Miners ' scores can be ascribed to the tact that the Blue team was weakened at critical moments by Muellerleile ' s sub- stitutions in an effort to ascertain the strength of his entire squad.

I h mMAmt w timr iM UNIVERSITY INFORMAL Prfge One Hundred Thirty-three to Billiken hopes was an injury to Mel McGonnigle, sensational sophomore prospect, who was carried off the field in the closing minutes with a broken bone in his foot. The DePaul Blue Demons journeyed down to St. Louis and stopped over long enough to nip the Billikens, 6-0, and to give them their initial setback of the year. Fullback Herrmany tumbled two plays after the locals received the oval for the first time in the game, and DePaul recovered on the Bills ' 25-yard line. Five plays later little Wally Phillips, well known by local fans for his ability on the basketball court, squeezed through the stout B lue and White defense to tally the Blue Devils ' only touchdown. The Billiken attack, except for Sophomore Carl Totsch, proved impotent and at no time did the Bills make a substantial threat to score. Sixty thousand fans witnessed the Mullmen ' s next encounter at gigantic Soldiers ' Field in Chicago in a tilt with Marquette ' s Golden Avalanche, sponsored tor chanty purposes by the Sisters of Mercy. Facing their strongest opposition of the campaign, the Billikens tell prey to the bullet-passes ol Ray Buivid, dazzling runs of the Guepe twins, and the hard charging and blocking of a powerful line and suffered their worst drubbing of the year, 32-6. Redeeming performances for the Bills were given by Len Gorman, hard-tackling sophomore pivotman, and Quarterback Johnny Veith, who directed the team ' s sole scoring drive. Ray Buzz Buivid gallops through the Billiken line for the third score in the BilliUen-Marquette tilt at Soldiers ' Field, Chicago. UNIVERSITY INFORMAL Page One Hundred Thirty-jour Embarking (in one of the longest trips a Billiken gridiron squad has ever taken, the Blue and White eleven met with a stinging 13-7 reverse at the hands ot North Dakota University at Grand Forks, North Dakota. This defeat marked the third consecutive loss for the Royal Blue gladiators. Returning home after two games on the road, the trip-worn Bills had to be content with a 6-6 tie with the South Dakota Coyotes. Mule Kloepper, veteran fullback, hindered all year by a consistently weak ankle, managed to forget his ankle injury long enough to stage a 40-yard jaunt down the sidelines for the Blue ' s lone six-pointer. Hitting their offensive stride for the first time and maintaining their defensive equilibrium, the Bilhkens crushed the pre-favored Wichita Shockers, 25-7, with a second quarter rush ot three touchdowns, led by the passing combination of Johnny Nunn to Carl Totsch. Elmer Best, junior tackle, featured the lines play with his great downfield blocking. Wichita ' s only tally resulted from an inter- cepted lateral pass by Dehon, Shocker halfback, who galloped 51 yards. Although bowing, 15-7, to Don Faurot ' s Missouri Bengals in a gruelling struggle, the Mullmen gained considerable prestige by leading their powerful Big Six Conference foes, 7-0, at half-time. Totsch, after a series of passes had brought the ball down the field, scored the Billiken touchdown on a 5-yard sweep around left end. Returning to the arena, the Timers ' roar rose to a mmhtv crescendo with Lou Drone, Blue quarterback, blocks out All-American Dwiiiht Hatch as Totsch speed s merrily onward 3 ?

The Faurotmen were powerless until Marty Rossini, All-Jesuit tackle, left the fray with an injured knee. Amid the worst fog in the history ot Walsh Stadium, the Bills managed to upset Marchmont Schwartz ' s Creighton Bluejays, 20-7. Although rolling up only half as many first downs as Creighton, the Blue and White took advantage of their few scoring opportunities to garner their third victory of the year. Ralph Hemp ' s long, spiral- ling punts kept the Creightonians away from the Mullmen ' s goal- line time and time again. Originally scheduled as a breath- er before the Turkey Day Tilt, the game with the Grinnell Pioneers proved to be just that tor the men of Coach Cecil E. Muellerleile as they ran rough-shod over the Iowans, 33-6. The triumph was the fourth in nine encounters for the Billikens. This contest was of great value as it permitted the Blue and White regulars to rest up a bit for the Thanksgiving Day tussle; it also uncovered Cletus Roemer, a sophomore aerial artist, to assist Johnny Nunn in his passing duties. Once more the city intercollegiate football laurels returned to the Grand and West Pine sector after an absence of three years, for on Thanksgiving afternoon the Billikens defeated the bewildered Washington Bears, 21-6, on snow-covered Walsh Field before sixteen thousand shivering enthusiasts. St. Louis turned Washington ' s ends repeatedly behind the All-American blocking of Lou Drone. Herrmany, Totsch, and Nunn accounted for the Billikens ' markers, as Lou Drone split the crossbar with three perfect placements.

With eighteen lettermen returning and many standouts on this year ' s freshman squad coming up, high hopes are being entertained by the coaching staff and Billiken followers for a successful gridiron campaign in 1957. Appearances are that the Bills who last year trounced the three Valley rivals that they meet will this year be able to repeat, and thus attain the Conference crown in their first lull season as a regular member. UNIVERSITY INFORMAL Page One hundred Forty-one FRESHMAN FOOTBALL % .NDER the tutelage of Coaches Ed Hall and Eddie David- son, the yearling gridders emerged undefeated from a three-game set-to with their traditional rivals for the city honors, the Washington Bear Cubs. Three games were necessary because of deadlocks in the first two tilts. Fulfilling their time-honored duties of offering stiff resistance to the varsity and of aiding them in solving opponents ' styles of play, the Frosh got off to an early start. First-year men who gave indications of blossoming forth into future stars were Denny Cochrane, Bill Foehr, Mel Aussieker, and Brian Burnes, backs, and Orie Priest, Bill Brooks, Bruce Branch, )oe Drabelle, Bill Sexton, and Jim Tierney, linemen. Great kicking on the part of Aussieker and Jack Warner of Washington was a feature of the first contest which ended in a 6-6 tie. Early in the struggle, Aussieker gathered in a pass and romped over the goal-line only to have the Bruins tally on a dazzling, side-stepping, sixty-yard sprint by Warner. Three courageous goal-line stands by the Bill line highlighted the second battle which ended in a scoreless draw. Resuming their feud, the two yearling elevens met tor the third time in a gridiron encounter that saw the Junior Bills walk off the field on the long end of an 18 to 6 count as Branch, Drabelle, and Cochrane scintillated.

ITH a defeat at the hands of Washington in the final battle tor the city intercollegiate championship, Coach Eddie Davidson ' s initial venture as pilot of the Billiken cagers ended disastrously. Not only did the Royal Blue quintet fail to regain the coveted city crown, but also they were able to annex only six victories in 21 encounters. Using his entire squad ot 15 players, Coach Davidson got off on the right loot when his Billiken five overwhelmed the McKendree Bearcats, 37-27, in its initial encounter. After dropping a contest to the Missouri Tigers, whose height proved the decisive factor as they shaded the Royal Blue, 31-26, the Bills gained their second triumph of the year when Sid Mudd sank a sensational one-handed shot as the gun went off to send the Golden Shockers of Wichita University home defeated, 26-24. Falling into a tailspin, the Blue and White cagers dropped seven tilts in a row, four of them on consecutive nights to mark the most disastrous road trip in Billiken history. During their meteoric descent, the Davidsonmen bowed to Washington, Centenary, Cape Girardeau, Marquette, St. Vi- ator, DePaul — who displayed virtually the same team that last year advanced to the semi-finals of the Olympic basketball tournament, — and Loyola. Returning to their West Pine lair the Bills nosed out 4- UNIVERSITY INFORMAL 4 Page One Hundred Forty-jour Members ot this year ' s quintet — cont. Back rou — Trainer Al Schuman, T. Fleming, J. Macheca, H. Huettner, Student Manager E. Kalbfleish, and Coach Davidson. the Rolla Miners, 30-28, with Al Dudenhoeffer going on a scoring spree that netted 14 points. Once again Sid Mudd played a Frank Merriwell role, this time with the result that the Blue and White hardwood squad nipped the Bears, 51 -29, to even up the city intercollegiate series. This win with the preceding one over Rolla gave the Billiken hoopsters a two-game winning streak, their longest of the campaign. Embarking on a tour of Kansas and Nebraska, the Bills suffered a 53-26 shel- lacking at the hands of Creighton and then nipped Washburn, 58-55, when Al Dudenhoeffer went on another of his periodic scoring bursts and tallied 12 points. The Billikens again slipped into the maelstrom ot defeat and garnered but one conquest in seven starts. They experienced one-sided losses at the hands of Southwestern, DePaul, and Missouri, dropped two one- point verdicts to Wichita and Marquette, and then con- cluded the season by succumb- ing to their Hilltop rivals in the deciding game of the city series, 55-29. Closing their college careers were Martin Rossini and Frank Keaney, co-captains, Bob Bohn, and Jack Macheca. Rossini, most versatile athlete in the recent history of the school, acquired more fame for himself as the season pro- gressed. Although a star tackle on the football team, he moved about the floor with ease and dexterity. Macheca, after a year ' s ab- sence from the hardwood court, started slowly this sea- UNIVERSITY INFORMAL ♦ Page One Hundred Forty-five Members oi the Basketball Squad.

Frank Keaney and Bob Bohn, the most polished players, and high scorers of this year ' s Royal Blue quintet, starred at the forward posts. Keaney, in his third season as regular, displayed excellent leadership qualities and was a constant scoring threat. He was handi- capped no little by his mother ' s illness and subsequent death, which caused him to miss three games. Diminutive Bobbv Bohn led all scorers UNIVERSITY INFORMAL -f Page One Hundred Forty-six Members of the Basketball Squad.

Returning regulars will be Al Dudenhoeffer and Sid Mudd, guards. Squad- men coming back to the basketball wars include Henry Huettner, rangy guard, Len Gorman, stalwart center, and Tom Fleming and George Melas, forwards. Seeking places on the 1937-38 edition of the Billiken cagers, will be many members of this year ' s brilliant yearling aggregation. Among the more promising UNIVERSITY INFORMAL Pjge One Hundred Forty-seven Eddie Davidson, serving his first year as a Bilhken coach, who did a good job with a rather makeshift outfit. recruits are Denny Cochrane, high-scoring guard, Dick Brooks, former All-Illinois ace, Danny O ' Sullivan, elongated pivotman from C.B.C., Tommy Woodruff, speedy, hard-driving forward, and George Hasser, former All-City veteran from McKinley. Indications are that the Royal Blue, aided by five returning veterans, sterling members of this year ' s freshman team which dropped but one contest in thirteen, and the presence of Bill Coch- rane, regular on the 1934-35 outfit who has been ineligible for the past two seasons, will present, next year, one of the strongest squads ever to take the floor for the Blue and White. Since the University recently was admitted into the Missouri Valley Con- ference, it will be engaging in its first year of league play, and will have high hopes of annexing the conference crown. During the past year, with the weakest team since the five of 1927 which did not win a game, the Davidsonmen gained two decisions and suffered three reverses against Valley toes. The Bills met some of the strongest teams in the country in the 1936-37 campaign. Included on their list of opponents were Creighton, which tied for the Valley title, Marquette, one of the strongest independent teams in the Middle West, and that great Chicago duo, DePaul and Loyola. DePaul boasted two All- Americans in 6 foot, 6 inch Nicky Yost and clever-passing Ed Campion, while Loyola was led by sophomore Mike Novak, 6 foot, 10 inch All-Amencan candidate at center who garnered 15 markers against the Bills, and Ed Colen, cool, diminu- tive guard who gave one of the finest defensive exhibitions shown by Bilhken adversaries. Other outstanding Blue and White foemen were Beer and Henderson of Missouri, Hafeli and Gerst of Washington, Roh and Shaw of Creighton, Adams of Marquette, and Lange of Rolla. Season Highlights — The ubiquitous jinx of the Blue and White five, fouls, which time and time again deprived the Bills of valued players at critical moments, making its presence felt even in the final game against Washington, when an ill-tempered referee called a technical foul on the booing Billiken spectators . . . Sid Mudd ' s uncanny ability to pull games out of the fire tor the Davidsonmen with sensational shots in the closing minutes . . . Marquette ' s closing rush which UNIVERSITY INFORMAL Page One Hundred Forty-eight netted them six points in two minutes and a 50-29 victory over the Blue aggrega- tion. . . Frank Keaney ' s return to the lineup after the death of his mother and his subsequent scoring spurt which enabled the Bills to hold the powerful DePaul quintet on even terms for the final half of their second meeting. . . Al Duden- hoeff er ' s sporadic scoring bursts which invariably were the herald of a Bilhken victory. . . Gigantic Mike Novak, Loyola center, knocking three of Frank Keaney ' s shots away from the basket when they seemed sure goals, and the same Novak jumping against Bobby Bohn. . . The Bills, sparked by Frank Keaney and Al Dudenhoeffer, coming from behind to defeat the Rolla Miners. . .

UNIVERSITY INFORMAL ♦ P ige One Hundred Forty-nine FRESHMAN BASKETBALL 5 , ROPPING but one game in thirteen starts, this year ' s edition of the freshman quintet completed one of the most successful cage campaigns in recent years. The young Bills suffered their lone reverse at the hands of the B team of the Eastern Illinois State Teachers College, 31 to 28. Dennis Cochrane, stellar guard, led all scorers with 95 points. He was closely followed by Dick Brooks, giant guard, and Tom Woodruff, midget forward, with 75 and 70 tallies respectively. Other outstanding members of the squad were Lester Dudenhoeffer, brother of Al Dudenhoeffer of varsity fame, George Hasser, Danny O ' Sullivan, six-toot six-inch center, and George Flammond, full-blooded Sioux Indian. Included on the victory string of the plebes were triumphs over McKendree, Washington, Western Illinois Teachers, Sparks College, and Scott Field. Espe- cially pleasing were the two conquests over Washington by scores of 33 to 15 and 35 to 2b. Featuring a fast break, the Royal Blue Frosh gave many indications of being the answer to Coach Davidson ' s hopes for a winning varsity quintet next year, and should send up two or three men capable of giving any veteran a hard fight for his position.

Robert Finch, last year ' s coach, was succeeded by Robert Bauman, varsity trainer and assistant baseball coach under Finch. Finch is now connected with the St. Louis Cardinal baseball club, as general manager of its minor league system. Before coming to the University in his capacity as trainer, Bauman was connected with the St. Paul Saints of the American Association and his knowledge of the game is derived from the contacts he had with players of this club, many of whom are now cavorting on the diamond for major league teams.

Especially gloomy is the outlook for a good outfield since all three regular fly- chasers of last year are missing. Seeking to fill these players ' shoes will be Earl Peil, reserve outfielder from last year, Roger Grimand and a trio of sophomores, Len Gorman, Carl Totsch and Vince Burke. Gorman has been among the leading hitters in the Muny League for several years, while Totsch has turned down several professional offers in order to stay in school. Captain Lou Drone and Sid Mudd, regulars from last season, appear sure to hold down second and third base, while Coach Bauman has been placing Bob Ryan on first and Frank Saxatowicy at short in early workouts. According to Coach Bauman, Johnny Veith, a converted infielder, and Francis Brady will attend to the catching chores. Bauman has been devoting a good deal of time to his pitching staff and is straightening out the difficulties which beset him in the box. Two promising Members of the Baseball Team — cont.

In order to get a good line on the strength ot his baseball outfit, Bauman has arranged several intra-squad meetings in addition to a few exhibition games with local high school teams. The Blue and White nine is scheduled to meet McKinley, Beaumont, and St. Louis High School, Prep League title holders of last year, in practice tilts which the varsity should easily win from their younger rivals. Previous to this year the Bills had not booked games with big league college teams due to the fact that the Royal Blue has no inclosed field on which to play. However, a start toward engaging better college opponents was made UNIVERSITY INFORMAL ♦ Page One Hundred Fifty-fin with the announcement that the Baumanmen were to meet a Big Ten outfit, the University of Iowa. If the Bills show up well in this game other games with major intercollegiate foes will be held. The Bills have an unusually heavy schedule this year, playing twenty games, eleven oi them with league foes. Starting on April 24, the pitching staff will face its most crucial test of the season, as the squad will play nine diamond contests in sixteen days. Last year the Billikens won the city crown in an exciting race, beating Wash- ington and then Eden to clinch the laurels. This year the diamond men will be out to annex their second straight championship, and with a few breaks and a little improvement in their rookie pitchers, have a fine chance to do so.

TfTf UNIVERSITY INFORMAL P.ige One Hundred Fifty-six MINOR SPORTS UNIVERSITY INFORMAL Page One Hundred Vijty-seven TRACK -AMPERED greatly by a lack of adequate facilities, Coach Ed Hall faced a hard job molding a team capable ot making a good showing in track and field circles. Only a handful of candidates turned out for practice when the first call was issued, and at no time did the Bills have a full squad. Thus it was no surprise that the Blue and White thinclads did not distinguish themselves this year. The Kansas Relays, the Butler Relays, the Missouri Valley Indoor and Outdoor meets, and a triangular meeting between Cape Girardeau, Washington, and St. Louis, headlined a fifteen-meet program arranged tor the cindermen. Opening their season and at the same time marking the appearance ot Billiken teams in Missouri Valley circles for the first time, the Hallmen garnered but three points in the Valley Indoor meet at Des Moines. Only Charles Malloy, halfmiler, and the mile relay team were able to place. Members of the Track Team. Front row — Gilbert, F., Malloy, Huger, Sheeley, Wilson, R., captain, Wolken. D., Ditenhater. McCabe, J., Murray, W. UNIVERSITY INFORMAL ♦ Page One Hundred Fifty-eight Following this the team entered the Butler Relays but failed to accomplish much. In the Ozark Championships, places were gained in the 440, 880, and the mile. Turning outside to the cinders as spring came on, the Blue engaged Washing- ton and Cape Girardeau, but finished third, although Gorman, Wilson, Wolken, and Malloy turned in sterling performances tor the Hallmen. The season culmi- nated in the Valley Outdoor meet at Francis Field, with the Royal Blue annexing fourth place. Bright features of the Bilhken ' s perlormances this year were Charles Malloy ' s great running in the halt mile, Len Gorman ' s and George Johnson ' s distant heaves of the discus and the javelin, and the twinkling toes of Captain Bob Wilson as he pounded around the oval in the classic 440 . All of these men return to the University next year, and with a sparkling array of freshmen, offer high promises for future years. A roll call of the freshmen shows Charley Fberle, Prep winner in the high and low hurdles, Denny Cochrane, lengthy javelin thrower, Charles Hensgen, who has been clocked under 4:30 in the mile, and Pete Meara, Joe Horan, and Bob Smith, speedy dash men, as out- standing performers. .Members of the Track Team — cont.

With the playoffs due to be run off in the near future, the Royal Blue sextet appears capable of winning the title and the E. J. Wallace trophy. In second place was the Octopus club, followed closely by the Watch and Ward aggregation, with Washington U. a distant fourth. Two members of the Bill pucksters gained places on the All-Star hockey team, McGonnigle and Cletus Roemer, both at the wings. Russ Hibbert, peerless goalie, and Dave Ruhl, speedy center, were placed on the alternate team. These players together with Rossini, Clark, Schuster, and Hennessy allowed the opposi- tion but four aoals throughout the entire season.

A large group of ambitious leather pushers turned out for ring lessons and, after an intra-squad elimination tournament, Jones picked Les Cagle, heavyweight, Manuel Chavez Eagle Feather, Indian middleweight, and Bill Barth, welterweight, to enter the Golden Gloves tournament. BASKETBALL ATTRACTS INTEREST Again basketball was the most popular of the intramural sports. Ten teams which entered the tournament were divided into two leagues. An exciting tourna- ment was held which saw Bellarmine Hall overcome the highly favored Delta Nu five, last year ' s winners, in a preliminary to the St. Louis-Rolla encounter. Members of this year ' s winning intramural basketball squad, repre- senting Bellarmine Hall. UNIVERSITY INFORMAL Page One Hundred Sixty-two BADMINTON POPULAR Badminton, one of the country ' s fastest growing sports, developed rapidly at school this year. Conducted during girl ' s gym classes, many expert players were produced by Walter C. Eberhardt, the most outstanding being Virginia Ahrenhoerster. Complete facilities for the game were provided in the gymnasium. GYMNASTICS Eberhardt, who continued his policy of a sound mind in a sound body , again divided the year ' s pro- gram into two main sections. During the first semester he gave condition- ing exercises and mass drills while- he devoted the second semester mainly to games. The purpose behind such a sched- ule is to inculcate strength and rhythm in the pupils during the first part and then to turn this energy toward perfection in sports. Activi- ties during the second semester in- cluded boxing, indoor baseball, tum- bling, swimming, badminton, ami boxing. Thus the average student ' s education is supplemented by an organized scheme of physical training. UNIVERSITY INFORMAL Page One Hundred Sixty-three GOLF COMMANDS ATTENTION Nine golf matches, together with the Missouri Valley Meet, give this year ' s Royal Blue hnksmen the longest and toughest schedule ever faced by a Bilhken goli squad. Returning squadmen out for the team are Captain Francis Kane and Ray Riggin, seniors; Dick Mattis, junior, and Bob Hubbell, Jack Hart, and Bob Sackbauer, sophomores. HANDBALL Headlining this season ' s handball season was Larry Mullen ' s attainment of the singles crown, after reaching the finals two years in a row. He overcame Al Eberle in a gruelling match to take the title. Other outstanding entrants were Burns, James, Herrmann, and Folev. SWIMMING With the advent of the Bills into the Valley conference, a swimming team was organized under the direction of Ed Marshall.

Not random growth and unprincipled change, but that type of change which marks true development along the lines outlined in the opening section of this book. The University certainly satisfies these conditions and in a more restricted sense, so also does The Archive XXIII. Realizing the need for the representation of the faculty as an integral part of the University and taking advantage of the natural division offered by the departments of instruction, we offer this year 60 pages devoted to the faculty. In an effort to stimulate undergraduate interest, on the other hand, we are presenting more pictures and a smaller amount of written copy. Officers of the various clubs of the University find their individual pictures in that capacity along with the moderator of the club. Two-page art layouts are missing this year and are re- placed by large plates which open each separate division of the book. Art, however, is not neglected, being repre- sented by the exquisite typography and sketches of the opening and division pages. The main purpose of the editors is to unify the book, to make it simple in layout yet complete in sub- stance. All material is grouped in its logical place, pictures are primarily illustrative of the text, text in turn is simple and sincere. We acknowledge gratefully the coopera- tion of deans, department heads, club officers, senior representatives, fellow students other than those on the staff, who make this type of yearbook pos- sible.

UNIVERSITY INFORMAL ♦ Page One Hundred Sixty-seven One of the frequent consultations in the checking of the many photographs of the yearbook. Thus has been found a happy device for division of material. The opening section wherein the theme is stated is impressive but not ornate. So sacred are these prin- ciples of the great thinker, John Henry Cardinal New- man, that they are presented in an attempt at a fitting background. They represent ideas steeped in the wisdom of the past and are presented therefore as from the pages of an old manuscript. As usual, work on the Archive was slow and spasmodic during the first semester, work on pictures occupying the bulk of the time. The chief duties of the staff during this period were purely in the line of organizing and systematizing the many hundreds of pictures so that they might be quickly identified and properly located with a minimum of time and effort. Work of this type is of course pure drudgery, and of necessity had to be done slowly in order not to over-tax new and promising staff members. The task of persuading members of the faculty to have their pictures taken was very necessary this year not only because of their individual importance but also because of the peculiar placement of all faculty pictures in departments in which the individuals teach. The necessity of having each department as well represented as possible was an incentive to overcome the well-known reluctance of faculty members to be photographed. Personal written appeals to the faculty men occupied a great part of the time of the editors during the first months with the fine results presented in this, book. The Members of the Archive staff.

In past years, it has always been the cry of the Archive editors that they had to put out the book by themselves, without any cooperation or aid from either faculty or students. This year, cooperation has been one of the outstanding char- acteristics of all those in any way connected with the book. The splendid help given the staff by faculty members in submitting material from which the departmental write-ups could be fashioned deserves our deepest gratitude. Similarly, the fine spirit shown by the large staff in working day after day and night after night during the grueling second semester grind is a definite refutation of the ever present charge of apathy. The countless thousands ot little behind the scenes jobs, editing of copy, systematizing ot pictures and copy, writing of captions, countless pasting and cutting in arranging ot layouts, these are the thankless jobs which require perseverance and deter- mination. This is the work which this year has been done by the large number of freshmen and sophomore staff members to whom we extend our gratitude. This, then, is the story of Archive XXIII. It is obvious that it would have been impossible to bring this book, what- ever may be its merits or delects, into existence without the cooperation which it has received; it is at least hoped that a book which is penetrating in its thought and all-encompassing in its presentation of life and learning at St. Louis University has been written.

UNIVERSITY INFORMAL Page One Hundred Seventy-three THE FLEUR-DE-LIS N THIS year, the thirty-sixth of its publication, The Fleur-de-Lis enjoyed what was, perhaps, its most outstanding success. It carried on, as before, the policy of being preponderantly a student magazine working towards a prominent position in the Catholic Literary Revival. But at the same time- there was a marked increase in the number ol contribu- tions from faculty members and from guest contributors. This increase was in no way intended to place the students in the background, but rather, it was felt that the students would be stimulated by knowing that their articles would appear jointly with those of writers of recognized competency. The student writing showed, for a college publica- tion, unusual soundness of judgment and saneness of view coupled with high readability. The contro- Members of The Fleur-de-Lis staff.

Literary essays deal- ing with the works of great writers were numerous, as in the past. They attempted not so much to criticize these men as to report the student ' s own personal reaction to them. In this way they avoided doing work that had already been done many times before by professionals.

Gorman in that capacity; Reverend William T. Ryan, S.J., Faculty Director of the Alumni News. ' N most cases the student after gradua- tion is completely cut off from the ac quaintances and friend- snips which he has made and enjoyed in the course oi his college career. It is the purpose ol the Alumni News to help to continue those friendships by publishing the activities which the school is fostering, and by printing news of the old grads and the successes they are making in life. Most stu- dents do not realize while they are in school the satisfaction and comfort which they will derive from such a publication after they have been graduated, and too often the Alumni News is berated because it is not strictly a student publication. The Alumni News has the distinction of being the first publication of its kind ever to be founded at a Catholic college or university; it was begun in 192b through the efforts of Rev. William J. Ryan, S.J., who has continued in this capacity as faculty adviser to the present day. At the mid-semester John T. Gor- man, who had acted as editor-in-chief during his year and one-half stay at the University, resigned that position in favor of the present editor, James A. Kearns. In the beginning the Alumni News was published eight times a year, but with the advent of difficult times it became necessary to reduce the number to five times a year. It is published on the second week of October, December, February, April and June by the Alumni Association. Feature articles are solicited from prominent members of both the alumni and the faculty, and sporting news is ably handled by George A. Killenberg, a sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences and director of athletic publicity at the University. In short, the Alumni News forms an interesting and valuable addition to the activities which are so essential to a universitv. UNIVERSITY INFORMAL ♦ Page One Hundred Seventy- THE MODERN SCHOOLMAN ' STABLISHED as a monthly publication thirteen years ago, with circulation confined to the professors and students of philosophy at the University, the Modern Schoolman has so rapidly grown that at the present time it has international prestige. Its objective throughout these years of development has always been the furtherance of philosophical truth among the educated of America. In pursuance of this objective the editors have attempted to present in erudite fash- ion Scholasticism ' s answer to current moral, social, literary, scientific, and polit- ical problems. That it has done so rationally and clearly is undeniable [in the face of its ever growing popularity with the modern thinkers. Although its policy is constructive, the Modern Schoolman does not hesitate to tear down fallacious reasoning in order to prove more positively its own argu- ments. Thus, in addition to containing timely editorials, book reviews, and discussions of contemporary subjects, the magazine presents many critical essays. The success of the Modern Schoolman is evidence of the intense interest with which philosophy is regarded in the present day. The philosophies of Kant, Hume, and Descartes can never satiate the desire of a man sincerely seeking truth. Scholasticism alone, with its insistence on rational fundamentals and the rational development of them, offers this truth, and through the Modern Schoolman presents it. Directors of the Modern Schoolman are Bernard J. Monks, S.J. (left), business manager. Rev. James A. McWilliams, S.J. (center), moderator, and Leonard Waters. S. J-. editor. UNIVERSITY INFORMAL ♦ Page One Hundred Seventy-seven HISTORICAL BULLETIN INCE its founda- tion some fourteen years ago, the Historical Bulletin has met with great success. Writers are solic- ited from all parts of the world, and the topics discussed are vari- ous in theme. The Bulletin at- tempts to treat of historical sub- jects in every period oi history from the time of the early Grecian civilization down to events of the day. In the January issue there appeared an excellent account of the lile of Leo the Great written by Carlo Silva-Tarouca, a Re- search Professor in the Gregorian College at Rome. Another article relating to Church matters was that of Wilfrid Parsons on Pope Pius XI. The faculty of the University was represented by articles from Mr. Herbert H. Coulson, J. Manuel Espinosa, and Rev. Thos. O ' Connor, S.J. The tour directors who determine the policy of the Historica Bulletin are Herbert H. Coulson, Phillip T. Derrig, S.J. Edward R. Vollmar, S.J., and Rev. Raymond Coi ' rigan, S. J., editor. In each issue of the Bulletin there appeared a number of selected book- reviews dealing with current books of an historical nature. Often in the course of these reviews, or in the featured articles themselves, Catholic philosophy and the Catholic idea of history are discussed. It is not at all ridiculous to speak of the Catholic philosophy of history, since in the study of history one meets many obstacles which can only be explained by the basic truth to be found solely in the Catholic doctrine. The staff of the Historical Bulletin is composed entirely of members of the Faculty. Rev. Raymond Corrigan, S.J., is editor; Herbert H. Coulson, instructor in the Department of History, is associate editor; and Arthur Barth, S.J., is business manager. UNIVERSITY INFORMAL Poge One Hundred Seventy-eight CLASSICAL BULLETIN H1LE primarily intended to serve classicists throughout the world, including teachers in universities and in secondary schools, the Classical Bulletin also supplements the courses of those pursuing higher studies in the classical languages. During its thirteen years oi exist- ence it has found an appreciative audience among the English speaking nations of the world. The Classical Bulletin answers a definite need in that it confines itself to a literary interpretation of the classics. Although Shakes- peare, Milton, Dryden, and Wordsworth truly deserve a high position in the world of literature, nevertheless they can never re- place such names as Homer, Virgil, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Caesar, and Horace. The magazine recognizes in the ancient classics that universal appeal which is common to all great literature. Con- sequently it has dedicated itself to reawakening and maintaining interest in the classics as model examples of literature and lite. Wherever the classics are taught, the Classical Bulletin feels that these are the ideas which should be stressed. The success of the Classical Bulletin may be measured by the high esteem in which the paper is held by all literary men. Interesting articles on ancient Greece and Rome are found in the Classical Bulletin, published under the direction of Rev. James A. Kleist, S.J. (right), editor, and Edward ]. Gough.S.J., business manager. Rev. James A. Kleist, S.J., became editor-in-chief at the beginning of the fourth volume. Rev. Francis Preuss, S.J., and Rev. Aloysius A. Jacobsmeyer, S.J., of St. Stanislaus Seminary are the associate editors and Mr. Edward J. Gough, S.J., the business editor. Besides these a number of corresponding editors in various parts of the United States augment the staff. UNIVERSITY INFORMAL Page One Hundred Seventy-nine STUDENT CONCLAVE ' INCE its birth in 1921 the Con- clave has been growing into balanced maturity. As it grows, a better coordination and harmony of parts develops which makes the difference between random and ineffective activity of adolescence and the purpose- ful and influential activity of maturity. This year more than ever before, the Conclave has made use of its potential powers. All legislation and activity, by which the Conclave soars to new heights of prestige, are guided by the following motives: (1) to increase the University ' s influence, renown, and prestige; (2) to strengthen the union between the students of the various schools; (3) to facilitate the organization of University activi- ties among the students; (4) to facilitate exchange of ideas between students and faculty; (5) to instill, demand, and maintain loyalty to the standards of St. Louis University. Many and varied are the accomplishments of this year ' s body. By aiding the Fleur-de-Lis, the Conclave has increased the University ' s influence, renown, and prestige, and has facilitated exchange of thought between student and faculty. In sponsoring a lecture program, the Conclave has built a new fountain of knowledge from which the entire student body is invited to drink. Students, coming to St. Louis Uni- versity for the first year, found awaiting them the Official Guide Book of St. Louis University ' , pub- lished by the Student Conclave in order to make the student feel himself a member of the University and not simply a member of a single school. Continuation of the promotion of three University dances and a magnificent Prom, together with the contemplation of numerous other original activities, complete the many- sided program for the year.

A new record was set for intercollegiate engagements which this year numbered approximately 50. A 2700-mile trip, the most extensive in the history ot the University, carried the forensic representatives into seven states where they engaged in 12 debates with outstanding schools in the Middle West Oratory Belt.

Three engagements were held with W ash- ington University and two each UNIVERSITY INFORMAL Page One Hundred Eighty-jour with Concordia Theological Seminary and McKendree College. Other schools in the neighborhood to come to St. Louis included Southern Illinois Teachers ' College, Illinois College, Central College, and James Millikin University. In all, St. Louis University debaters argued on both sides of four questions this year. The senior squad, composed ot those debaters who have earned their letter, argued the merits of minimum wage and maximum hour legislation and the value ot consumers ' cooperatives. The junior squad, consisting of newcomers to forensic activity and second year men, debated the city manager plan of municipal government and the advisability ot government ownership of electrical utilities. Debaters came from five schools of the University, ranging in class standing from first-year students to seniors. An unique feature of the University ' s forensic program was the series ot discussion debates conducted by alumni debaters, all oi whom are members ot Sigma Lambda Upsilon, professional debating fraternity composed of alumni who were members of the Forensic Honor Society while in school. The alumni argued the merits ot the Robison-Patman Act and discussed the president ' s proposal to change the personnel ot the Supreme Court.

From a standpoint ol novelty, the outstanding debate of the year was held when Willamette and St. Louis combined to support the minimum wage proposition against Arizona and Washington. The University ' s representative was Thomas P. Neill, a senior in the College ot Arts and Sciences. Debating activity was again under the supervision of Dr. Ralph B.

THE NE of the most successful seasons in the history of the organization has just been placed in the annals of the Playhouse Club. Because the Club did not adhere to its former policy oi presenting port- manteau one-act plays, more time was available for rehearsals and con- sequently the three lull-stage per- formances offered were almost pro- fessional in character. Phillip Barry ' s domestic comedy The Youngest, which opened the Club ' s season, introduced a new leading man in the person of Robert Hoff, cast in the title role.

Thus the Playhouse Club has, under the able direction oi Milton McGovern, successfully accomplished its purpose through another year. It has not merely provided entertainment lor those interested in seeing good plays but has also furnished the opportunity for valuable experience to those interested in acting. It has, moreover, held up the name and prestige of the University to the public gaze of the citizenry of St. Louis and has seen that prestige and that name grow through its own efforts.

This year has marked the installation of the new transmitter as well as numerous improvements in studio facilities. ♦ Bro. George E. Ruep- The type of program has remained somewhat the same Radio Station WEW. as in the past, with recorded, studio, educational, and enter- taining programs filling the nine hours each day during which WEW is on the air. The most popular programs are the forty-five minute periods of classical recordings, Moments with the Masters, and the two half-hour dance presentations, The Musical Clock and The Tea-time Dance Parade. Special emphasis has been placed, during the past year, on increasing both the number and quality of educational programs presented by the various schools of the University. The cooperation of the cleans of the respective schools has made the project eminently success- ful, and the result has been a series ol University of the Air programs. Opportunity tor work that closely approached heroism came to station WEW during the latter part of Janu- ary when the great Ohio Valley flood was destroying all other possible means of communication.

The Band also participated in the Pep rally held before the Washington University game and the Sports Carnival conducted in the spring. We can be confident that with the progress that is now being made in respect to the attitude of the student body and that of the members, next year will find a greatly improved student band.

The group, organized in 1915, administers to the spiritual welfare of the students in the professional and graduate schools. Its purpose has been accomplished by services every First Friday and Mass every third Sunday in the Chapel of Desloge Hospital. Bi-monthly meetings were held in addition to the regular spiritual exercises. Among its activities, and undoubtedly the most outstanding, was the annual Christmas drive for the needy. Its success, as well as the success of other Sodality undertakings, can only be attributed to the spirit of enthusiasm and cooperation displayed by the officers and members ot the group.

To state an instance of the initiative of this club, there may be cited the matter of the dance which it sponsors annually. Inherently difficult as such an undertaking may be, the affair was this year a complete success, due very largely to the interest and enthusiasm of the members themselves. No small amount of the continued prosperity of Le Cercle Francais, however, is directly attributed to the energetic activities of its director, Paul A.

Although the majority of the members of the club were enrolled in German courses, visitors were frequently in attendance.

UNIVERSITY INFORMAL Page Two Hundred Eleven UNIVERSITY SOCIAL EVENTS Ts A mar velous heterogeneity of costumes charac- terized the March Gras Dance, held in the University Gymnasium in February. rS SCHOOL gets under way and students are once more exposed to the monotonous routine or classes and heavy learning, there comes an urge to drop the books, forget the learning and relax lor an evening ol pure ;oy and entertain- ment. This urge was most successfully taken care of in the iorm of the St. Louis Universitv Barn Dance on Oct. 20. Lads and lassies dressed in the gayest of country array swarmed through the gymnasium, which was transformed into an old-fashioned barnyard for the gala occasion. Laughter and fun permeated the harvest dance throughout, as couples wandered about among the corn-stalks and sat on the floor in true rustic style. Dancing was pleasant to the tunes of that well-known hill-billy band conducted by Vernon Peak, who came here from Paducah, Kentucky, to play for the introductory dance of the 1935-37 University social season. Formalities and restraints were dropped as girls, in bright ginghams and sunbonnets, and boys, in blue overalls and red kerchiefs, met each other in the rural setting. Thus the new students were introduced to their first taste of St. Louis University social affairs and the old students revelled again in their favorite school dance of the vear. HE famous Billiken football games drew all attention during the following weeks, culminating in the glorious Thanksgiving Day game when the spirited football players defeated their Washington University rivals. And on Nov. 26, that gloriously-happy night for St. Louis University students, the second social affair of the season was held — the S-L Dance. This was the first year that the S-L Dance, dedicated to the University letter- men, was held on Thanksgiving night. The first snow had fallen ; the students were anxious to celebrate their victory; all were in that congenial mood that follows a huge turkey dinner; everything was in the proper atmosphere to guarantee a successful dance. And such it was, both sociallv and financiallv. UNIVERSITY INFORMAL Page Tun Hundred Twelve The annual Fontlionne Pro held at the Missouri Athletic Clul Blue and white deco- rations carried out the theme of the dance and all wore a touch ot these colors. Naturally the football players, espe- cially Captain Dick Fitzgerald and Coach Cecil E. Muellerleile, w e r e the center o t attraction and were heartily applauded by all lor their long-hoped- for victory in the local grid classic ot the year. As usual an attendance prize was given ; this year it was in the form ot a ticket to the St. Louis University Prom. Bud Waple ' s orchestra, with Buddy Duddy at a second piano, furnished scintillating tunes for dancing, and as the last strains laded away, there ended the most successful S-L Dance that St. Louis University has had tor vears. Art Land and his band turmshed the music lor the Marvville Prom, the scene oi which was laid in the Crvstal Room of the Chase Hotel. c IME marched on, bringing with it the glorious Christmas holidays, the sorrowful return to school, and the dreaded examinations. After recuperating from exhaustion following these try- ing periods, St. Louis University students were ready and anxious for another celebration before settling down for Lent. Therefore the color and glamour of a Mardi Gras was enthusiastically welcomed by all. Once again the gym was decorated and dressed in its festive canopy in preparation for the annual Shrove Tuesday affair, which fell this year on Feb. 9. And what fun and excite- ment followed! Dashing desperadoes UNIVERSITY INFORMAL ♦ Page Two Hundred Thirteen The opening Conclave Dance brought out the rustics. escorted shy hoop-skirted missies, and Napoleons and Madame Butterflys forgot their dignity when the orchestra broke into gay tunes. The crowd was record- breaking ior a Mardi Gras Dance and seemed delightfully possessed by the spirit ol the carnival. Bill 0 ' dell ' s orchestra made music as it has tor two previous Mardi Gras dances. Probably the most amusing part of the evening was the promenade, during which Robin Hoods and Scarlett O ' Haras vied with Tarzans and Cleopatras for the prizes offered the most clever and original costumes. The prizes were two coveted tickets to the St. Louis University Prom, and the judges and audience were so undecided as to the best costume that finally an extra ticket had to be given away. Soon, however, the music had stopped, the queer-looking crowd had dispersed and the last St. Louis . . i , , , ,, „ ., University social function before the grand A pause between dances at the rontbonne D Dinner Dance. finale, the Prom, came to a lovely ending. ' XCEPT for a very delight- ful Sunday afternoon tea dance in November, Fontbonne College did not give any social affairs until after the Christmas holidays. But then, on Jan. 8, the Student Association sponsored the first all-school dance which was held on the campus. Starlight and Silver Music was the motif carried out in this first dance of a brilliant social season.

Big cardboard snow men and decorations of icicles and frost carried out the effect so appropriate to the time ol the year. The Junior Prom in honor of the senior class climaxed the social events of the year on Feb. 5. The Alissouri Athletic Association was the scene of the brilliant affair at which the students and their escorts enjoyed dinner in the candlelit dining-room to begin their evening ' s festivi- ties. A program dance followed, during which the promenade took place. The president ol the junior class, followed by the president of the senior class, led the promenade after which all of the students and their escorts received favors. Dancing to the music of Benny Rader continued on to end the perfect evening. .Another gala affair in May, given by the freshman class, closed a memorable Fontbonne social vear. V_ HF freshman Dance held in the gymnasium on Sept. 2b, broke the social ice for Marvville College students. In this informal setting the new students became better acquainted with each other and received their first idea of college social life. Radiant girls and their attentive escorts assembled to enjoy the fun of a typical Maryville dance. UNIVERSITY INFORMAL Page Two Hundred Fifteen The Missouri Athletic Associat ion was the i th. uial Webster Promenade. The Chase Hotel was the scene of Mary ville ' s Fall Prom held on Dec. 4. Given in honor of the senior class, this pompons affair was outstanding in the display ot elegant gowns and beautiiul girls. Art Land ' s orchestra furnished a symphonic background for the grace and charm of the colorful evening. A third dance, held in the school gymnasium, filled in the social curriculum until the annual Spring Prom in May. Given by the Marvville Alumnae Associa- tion for the student body, this affair was no less impressive than the Fall Prom. Spring flowers on rustling spring gowns lent an air of lightness and gaiety to the occasion, a fitting climax to the social events of the year. OdYA EBSTER College officially opened her social season with the annual Fall Dance given on Nov. 17, by the Student Government Board. The Ivory Room of the Hotel Jefferson was the scene of this delightful affair where the suave Webster Belles, bedecked in semi-formals, danced to the music of Johnny Kamp ' s orchestra. A dance program was carried out with the tunes ot the day featured in the Webster College Hit Parade , conducted by the students. The supreme social event, however, took place on Thursday evening, Jan. 28, at the Missouri Athletic Association. This was the annual Promenade which was given in honor of the senior class. The dim lights, the beautiful array of colors accentuated by the severe black and white of the men ' s formal attire, the soft laughter and the genial flow of conversation, all combined to make this formal dinner dance a most lovely and unforgettable affair. The honored seniors and their escorts received as souvenirs gold compacts and gold cigarette cases. The music of Herb Mahler ' s orchestra lent the finishing touches to a charming occasion.
