E Atv 'sl lt' I'resi1Iellt's AKIBSSZIQF lt is indeed a pleasure to extend congratulations to t Editor. and staff of the l936 Gael on the publication of the Annua 'iv l am not unmindful of that strenuous organization, the! pains- taking care, the untiring energy that have gone into the making of this book. To me, the development of these qualities is perhaps the strongest justification for the existence of the year-boolf. My brief year at Saint Mary's has taught me not to be surprised at the qualities which bear fruit in such endeavors as the Anffual produced by the Class of l937. Cn the contrary, such a fine mani- festation of concerted effort, of Wholehearted cooperation, I have come to look upon as the characteristic quality of the Saint Mary's Student Body- as its peculiar spirit. Cooperation, l believe, Will play no small part in our success in college and later. We do very little alone. Our ability to under- stand and achieve is in great part measured by our ability to enter into the viewpoints and activities of others. ln a true sense we must learn to give and take, but Without concession or compromise of any of our essential ideals or beliefs. We may be said to come into the World alone and to depart from it alone, but We pursue our existence in it as members of some group-the family, the school, the nation, the Church. To learn how to cooperate is, there- fore, to acquire the great social virtue. My most delightful discovery this year has been to find so many pleasing exemplifications of cooperation on our campus. All classes and conditions of students have again and again demonstrated that they had a true understanding of what is meant by our community of interests-our spirit of Saint lVlary's. lt were ungrateful of me not to take this opportunity in the pages of the l936 Gael to express my deep appreciation of such a spirit of cooperation.

We have heard that he is the youngest college president in the United States, yet he is aptly char- acterized by the Shakespearean statement, young a body, but so old a head, for the man is very defi- nitely talented. Busted though he has been with his administrative duties, Brother Albert nevertheless maintained a gracious attitude toward the students, as a result of which Saint Mary's College has enjoyed an even closer relationship of teacher and student. That such a man commands the admiration of the student body is not surprising. A+-

The G A E li Y CS - ' 4-Lib! Il I'Altl I It has been well said that education is preparation for complete living. But such education must embrace the physical, intellectual and spiritual faculties, and must be judged by its power to develop the four marks of the edu- cated man-knowledge, judgment, taste and refinement. Ill-balanced or intense living may be very successful, but it is never complete. A Catholic liberal education in arts and letters is the most practical way to lay the foundation for a professional career in law, medicine, edu- cation, religion, in fact, in any mode of living, since it develops judgment, taste and refinement, without which knowledge is impotent. The School of Arts and Letters is dedicated to the task of preparing the complete man-in health of body, truth of mind-whole souled. lAMES L. HAGERTY, M.A., L.L.D,, Saint Mary's College, Dean, School of Arts and Letters. The School of Economics and Business Administration was organized in May, l933, and therefore the present Iunior Class was the first class to enter Saint Mary's College after the School was constituted. An outgrowth of the School of Foreign Trade, which began in 1920 with forty-five students, under the leadership of Brother Vantasian, the School of Economics and Business Administration now has an enroll- ment of one hundred and fifty students. More and more business is being recognized as a profes- sion, and adequate training for it, both of a cultural as well as a technical nature, is being demanded. The School of Economics and Business Administration is designed to serve those who desire a broad cultural background and who at the same time wish technical preparation in economics for graduate Work, for teaching, and for business. ALLYN C. LOOSLEY. Ph.D,, University of California, Dean, School of Economics and Business Administration. The genuine and sincere interest manifested by our students, faculty, alumni and friends in their spontaneous approval of the establishment of our School of Science has been a constant source of inspiration to all the members of our staff. With an atmosphere of such friendly encouragement, We have completely reorganized our entire science structure. Our program of future expansion is already in evidence. The engineering curriculum will begin to function with the opening of the autumn semester. The new members who will augment our present faculty have pledged to share with us the pleasant task of restoring to Saint Mary's College, her pristine glory inthe field of science. The outlook is indeed promising. STEPHEN l. TOMER, B.S., M.A., Stanford University, Dean, School of Science.
