Bishop DuBourg's dream of forming the religious life of the young would seem to be fulfilled in the large numbers of students that at every hour of the school day are seen coming and going on the broad staircases leading into the church.

.N if Q The double burden of ministering to the needs of the parish and maintaining the discipline of St. Louis College was stubbornly borne by Father Neil and his assistants until the end of the 1826-1827 session, when it was decided to close the doors of the institution. Then, on the second day of November, 1829, it was reopened by the Jesuits in a new building fpictured abovel which they built on Washington Avenue at Ninth Street-- in the opinion of the inhabitants there was no more suitable spot for a college. Father Peter Verhaegan, S.J., formally welcomed the students--one hundred and fifty strong, lads whose names were to become rich in the historical lore of the city and the West. 6.2 PETER VERHAEGAN, SJ. Despite his meager resources, the first Presi- dent hopefully set about introducing the standards of excellence traditional in Jesuit colleges. Father Verhaegan's hope of giving the best tools of scholarship to his students would seem to be amply realized today in the libraries and laboratories of St. Louis University. But the Very Reverend Paul C. Reinert, S.J., pictured here by the fabulous Pius XII Memorial library, the twenty-ninth president and presently in his sixteenth year of office, is possessed of the same concern for higher learning and is restless to move the University ahead in rapport with its great tradition.
