THE DEAIVS . . . COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES . . . The Jesuit system of education is partic- ularly adapted to the physical set-up of the small university where the personal, vital contact between the professor and his students is to be had. At Santa Clara the Arts curriculum is concerned with the physical, mental, moral development of the whole man, thus laying a rational and ethical foundation for future specializa- tion. Covering a period of four years, the courses selected in this field are aimed at the development of a cultivated intellect directing moderation and deliberation in all things. The Artsman is trained in the humanities, rhetoric, mathematics, natural sciences, religion, and philosophy. Spec- ialization is offered in the major fields of Economics, English, Philosophy, Political Science, History, Biology, and Chemistry. Rev. James A. King, S.J., is now Dean of the college. COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING . . . Since 1912 Santa Clara has conducted a school teaching three of the must funda- mental branches of engineering — civil, mechanical, and electrical — and has in this way added to the number of men who apply knowledge obtained by research and testing to the resultant products of engineering work. The engineer ' s intimate acquaintance with the properties of matter and his abil- ity to harness nature ' s sources of power result in benefits to mankind in the form of structures, machines, and manufactured products. But training in mathematics ' , physics, and chemistry does not alone constitute the Santa Claran ' s ideal. His is the desire to possess an acute and cul- tured mind given him in Santa Clara ' s broad college education. George L. Sullivan has been Dean of the college since 1918 and is largely re- sponsible for its excellent reputation.

COLLEGE OF LAW . . . Use of the classical case system in the instruction of the principles of law and the opportunity for personal attention afford- ed those enrolled in law have won for Santa Clara ' s youngest college the ap- proval of the American Bar Association which has given full endorsement to the administration of the school headed by Dean Edwin J. Owens. The course of study offered in the Col- lege of Law aims at a knowledge of the fundamental principles in English and American Law, a proper application of these principles to concrete cases, and a thorough understanding of the ethical principles governing the legal profession. Because of the war, regular class ses- sions were discontinued in the spring of 1943 but were begun again in August of 1945 for the future lawyers. COLLEGE OF BUSINESS The two-fold purpose of Santa Clara ' s College of Business Administration is to train its students to take part in the organi- zation and management of the modern specialized industrial system and to pro- vide them with a cultural background which will benefit them in their dealings with industry in its social relationships. Accordingly, in addition to the special- ized courses taught in Accounting, Mar- keting, Statistics, Finance, Banking, Com- mercial Law, and Labor Conditions, the college supplements its curriculum with broader courses in Scholastic Philosophy, History, English, Political Science, the Natural Sciences, and Religion. Under the leadership of Dean Charles J. Dirksen, the college this year completes its twenty-third year as a separate unit of the university.
