For the classical scholar there is the field of languages and the literature of these varied languages—Latin, English, French, Spanish, German. The student at St. Thomas who wishes a liberal education will discover a wide and diversified range of subjects from which he may complete his curriculum. The various divisions of mathematics—algebra, plane and solid geometry, trigonometry, etc., are all essential requirements for the proper credits. The three main sciences—biology, chemistry, and physics are taught with a great deal of thoroughness and exactitude and their respective laboratories are more than adequately replete. Military life will undoubtedly appeal to some cadets and the training which one receives at St. Thomas is of the highest type, available to the high school student. St. Thomas has been designated as one of the ten best military schools in the nation. To attain this honor a school must first acquire the MS rating—that of a school which is essentially military in its training. One can readily see that such limitless opportunities afford the cadet every chance to acquire for himself an education of the finest type. With a faculty composed of clergy and laymen who are fully acknowledged teachers and most of whom are specialists in their different fields it is easy to sec that nothing has been left undone in helping the cadet to select his life’s work.
