Thirty-two The educational history of St. Xavier College is one of achieve- ment and progress. From her very inception, ninety-one years ago, thousands 'have passeclvthrough her hallowed halls, have left their inlluence upon the world-an everlasting monument to themselves and to their school. Each year of her existence, each department of her varied activity is a sparkling jewel in a cliadem of gold. which envious years shall never dim. This year another milestone in the history of St. Xavier has been reached. For the first time the degree of Bachelor'of LaWs will be conferred. The graduation of the first class in Law will be the fulfillment of l the hopes and dreams of those splendid men, lovers of St. Xavier, who gave so unstintingly of their valuable time and labor to make the Law College 'a possibility and to place it upon the high plane it now occupies. s I The very best evidence of how much St. Xavier College cloes for its students, of how much its students love and appreciate the College, is Ihe fact that old St. Xavier is never forgotten by those who have had the good fortune to attencl there. It is very characteristic of students of St. Xavier. especially seniors. to be looking forward to new courses of study, to be deciding what they shall study next, for there is something about the college which is irresistible. 0Once a student, always 1 student, would be .. very appropriate maxim for the College. It is to this quality of irresistibility and to the love and appre- ciation of former students that the College of Law owes its existence. The alumni. some of them desiring to take other courses, and recog- nizing that the stucly of the law is one of the most ennobling pro- fessions. its power for good tremendous. and its influence extensive, requested the College authorities to institute a course in Law. The authorities, always eager to do everything possible to increase the usefulness of the College. entered into the plan enthusiastically, and, quite characteristic of the Jesuits, decided to make the College of Law the best of its kind. A great organizer and educator. Rev. Henry Spalding, S. 1., was named as the Regent, and guided the first two years of its existence. On his appointment as editor of The Queens Work. Rev. Hubert F . Brockman. the present Regent, assumed control.

Some of Father Brockman'splans for the. enlargement of the De- partment of Law with new courses and more intensive training have recently been disclosed. ' Mr. Edward R Moulinier, one of the luminaries of the Bar of the State of Ohio and a graduate of St. Xavier, was chosen to head the College as Dean. Mr. Moulinier's jealous interest and supreme skill did much to place the College. of Law upon a firm foundation., L. Elmer Conway, a graduate of St. xavier and a prominent at- torney, has very etliciently filled the position of secretary of the Law School since its inception. , The College has beenvvery fortunate in its choice of instructors, securing the leading legal lights offthe' city, those who havevthe rare gift of imparting. to others the knowledge they possess, and who'have won success in their? particular lielcls. The list of the faculty is in- deed an impressive one, containing, among others, the names of the most intluential judges on the Bench. The results of the capable teachers and the intensive training re- ceived are beginning to be shown already by the xeeprds the gtaclu- ates of this year have made and are making. Miss'5Ann Overman had the distinction of securing second place in the Kentucky Bar Examinations. The names of John P. Rogers, a member of the law firm of Andrews 8: Andrewa, Hamilton, , Ohio, -and of Leo V. pubois, executive secretary of the Building and Managers' Associa- tion olf Cincinnati, were on the honor list of those taking the Ohio Bar Examination. Miss May Kennedy has also successfully passed the Ohio Bar Examination. Several of the other estudents are associatecl With the strongest law firms of the city. while others, like Walter Had- ley. Ireal estate salesman for The Frederick A. Schmidt Company, do not intend to practice law, but have studied the subject to better lit them for their present position. Thomas Gallagher. now teaching in tlfe High School, has received a very promising otter from a firm in New York. It is, therefore, with the greatest gratification that we look back upon theaccomplishments of the College of Law during the short time of'lts extstence. lts record is indeed a marvellous one. and it is not being too hopeful to say that within a year or two the Law School Will be recognized by all to be. as it now is in reality. the best Law College of its kind in this country. -
