Sophomore-Freshman Law T is well known that the St. Xavier Law College possesses unI enviable recurd among the Law Colleges of the country for the high degree of scholarship and ' learning of its professor's and the enthusiasm, diligence and sincerity of its students. W'hat is probably not Sf! well known is the manner in which the Classes are arranged an arrangement which is most efficient under the conditions, and which offers peculiar advantages to both teacher and student. The student body is divided into two ciasses-mthe Junior-Senior class and the Freshman-Snphomore classi This arrangement necessitates the alternation of the schedule of studies from year to year. Both classes begin at 6 o'clock and con- tinue until 8 oiclock, with 2L ten minute recess beginning at 6:55, The classes are held five evenings each week. This year's Freshmau-Sophomore class is the largest in the history of the school. The spirit and enthusiasm of the class are in every way proportion- ate to its size. This fact is due in a large measure to the leadership and encouragement of our scholarly president, Miss Catherine Carter. T0 emulate her is the proud, though difficult ambition of each and every member of the clasx. In the moat trial conducted by the Jurists society in December, the FreshmanASophomnre class was ably represented by John Murray and Jerume Corbett. Their legal eruditinn was quite surprising even to themselves. Besides the qualities already attributed to this yeeiliis Freshman-Snphomore class, there is the splendid quality of gratefulness. Let it be known that this class fully appreciates and gratefully acknowledges the services and sacrifices of that group of men who so materially cnntribute tn the glory and prestige of St. Xavier Law Schooliour teachers.

The Junior Law Class T is. indeed a must pleasant task to write a brief review of the Juniur-Senior Class of 1925. This class has shown a spirit at eu-nperaticm and enthusiasm that will cause its memory to he fondly cherished in the annals of St. Xavier Law College. The members at this class began to realize very early in the year that the gun! for which they were striving was near at hand. It seemed but yesterday that they had begun the study of law and now they are sober, serious minded Juniors. Their dreams were about to become realities. Soon they would begin the hunm-zible practice of law. These realizations encouraged them to even greater :1an better efforts than they had Shown before. And now at the close of the year it is quite evident that success has ernwned their efforts. The faculty have given unstintingly of their time and service and have encouraged the students in every way. Accordingly this. class wishes to extend to the faculty its sincere gratitude and heartfelt thanks. An appropriate 510;!an in the practice of law might well be HImitute our teachers . l'uw- Seventy-four

The School of Commerce OMMENCEMENT, 1925, is the 14th milestone in the progress of the School of Commerce. Starting in 1911 with approximately one hun- tired students, the School has developed into the largest undergraduate department of the College. Father Francis Heierman, then president, was its founder, and while numerous courses have been in- troduced since his time, its fundamental system re- mains practically as he designed it. The School specializes in the teaching of account- ing and office management and has given to the city some of its most capable and most prominent accountants and executives. The record of its stu- dents who have taken the C. P. A. examinations is remarkable and the reputation of the School has been further enhanced by the success of its gradu- ates in public practice and in the competitions held before the local chapter of certified men. 1 A very gratifying response answered the intro- duction, three years ago, of classes in Logic, Psy- chology and Literature, in addition to the practical and technical courses, each of these classical sub- jects attracting an increasingly large number of students. There are a total of eighteen different courses in constant operation, necessitating an active faculty of twenty-eight men. Charles H. Purdy, Secretary, is in general charge. Page Seventy-six
