Ue oecutuj e liacuid REV. LOUIS C. RUDOLPH, S.J. President of the University of Santa Clara Rounding out nearly a century of worthwhile work among the youth of many states and lands, the University of Santa Clara faces a new decade of service with a confidence forti- fied by Jesuit experience and training of many centuries. Present head of the University is Rev. Louis C. Rudolph, S.J., whose efficient and unosten- tatious execution of the complex duties of President has won for him the admiration and respect of not only his co-workers, but also the students and friends of Santa Clara as well. Since Father Rudolph ' s tenure, Santa Clara has attained its highest all-time enrollment and has seen the addition of Bergin Hall, one of the finest collegiate law structures in the West, as well as many academic and plant improve- ments. Upon Rev. John P. O ' Connell, S.J., has fallen the arduous duties of Vice-President. In charge of disciplinary matters and a number of im- portant student societies, Santa Clara ' s Vice- President has given unsparingly of his time to the betterment of the Mission School.

Rev. Edward J. Zemar Treasurer James H. Strehl, Minister S.J. R( v. William C. Gianera, S.J. Dean of the Faculties Hugh C. Donavon, S.J. Dean of Men associations offer convincing proof of the suc- cess of his efforts. Rev. Edward J. Zeman, S.J., Treasurer, has cooperated with Father Rudolph in the en- largening and improving of Santa Clara. His unselfish and capable work is typical of those members of his Society who have been en- trusted with administrative positions. Another important unit in the University ' s smooth-functioning administration is the of- fice of Minister, presently occupied by Rev. James H. Strehl, S.J., whose important duties are satisfactorily performed in a quiet, work- man-like manner. A predominant part of Santa Clara student body life is the spiritual atmosphere which sounds the keynote of the Jesuit educational system. The inspiring and wholehearted par- ticipation of the students in the many campus religious exercises is indeed a tribute to the work of Rev. Hugh C. Donavon, S.J., Dean of Men. Father Donavon ' s reward has been the witnessing of the continuance of such laudable devotions as the First Friday Adoration, May talks, student recitals of the Rosary, and Freshman and Senior Sodality activities. Little wonder, then, that Santa Clara stu- dents and their parents are so well pleased with a University that embodies such a har- monious union of ideal administration, educa- tional opportunities and facilities, and moral training.
