Commercial Law III, IV N the fall of 1921, a group of yuum: men and women assembled at St. Xavier for the purpose of obtaining- a better knowledge of the structure of the laws of their state and country as they pertain to commerce and economics. The freshman year was :1 very intei-estiimr one. The first subject covered being- the Law of Contracts which was very ably taught by Mr. E. Cunway and which is an essential foundation for the study of all law The second semester found the Class under the guidance of Mr. Jus. O'Meura who unravelled the mysteries pertaining to the organization, rights, responsibil- ities and advantages of corporations. The interest manifested during the freshman year has been ever present dur- ing the sophomore, junior and senior yearst This is due in a great measure to the fine work of Mr. T. Geisler. The interest he has shown in each and every stu- dent, his broad knowledge of economics in general and the ability to teach, plus a line of original wit and an excellent sense of humor, have made the Friday evenings duringv the past three years very pleasant as well as educational. The ' subject covered by Mr. GUiSlel' are Sales of Pei-sunal Property, Bailments and Carrier, Insurance, Agency, Negotiable, Instruments, Partnership and Bankrupt- cy. We alsu wish to extend our appreciation to Mr. XV. Ryan, who by his untiring efforts and natural ability to teach, made the evening's during his: course on Real Property very interesting . It is with a mingled fueling of emotion that we look forward to the close of this our last year at St. Xavier. We sincerely hope that the knowledge and the high ideals imparted to us during the past four years will enable us to become a crexiit to our Alma Mater and a success in the Commercial world.

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
