Under the direction of Rev. James A. King, S.J. the College of Arts and Sciences guides its many students through some of the most important years of their lives so that those years v ill also be the most fruitful. Pother King, who has been at Santo Clara since 1945, has the wide experience and deep personal interest in the students which has enabled him to contribute so much to the success of liberal education at Santa Clara. DEAN JAMES A. KING, S.J.,M.A. College of Art and Sciences With the end of the 1956 school year. Dean Dirksen can look bock and justly be proud of the accomplishments of the post year. The case method of instruction patterned after that used in the Har- vard Business School has became the principal type of instruction for General Business majors. Two accounting majors won first and third place in the national cost accounting contest. Graduating seniors were provided the opportunity to speak with personnel directors from 48 companies concerning job opportunities. Arrangements were made to secure additional professors for the business faculty who will moke their appearance during the 1956-57 school term. Included in the future plans of the Dean is a Graduate Business School which should be in operation within the next few years. Texas ' loss was California s gain as Warren P. McKenney de- parted from St. Mary ' s University, San Antonio, Texas, to become Law Dean of the University of Santa Clara. In the short time of the one year in which Dean McKenney has been at Santa Clara, he has formulated a number of new plans for student academic activities. His plans place an emphasis on the practical aspects of law practice. Por Senior students, a briefing service has been Inaugurated which should prove beneficial for the students, the school, and prac- ticing attorneys. Por second-year students, he has replaced the former appellate moot court with a more interesting, trial moot court. Dean McKenney finds his new low school unique in many woys, ond states that he was immediately impressed by on outstanding spirit of cooperation. ' Two years ago, an effort was exerted to obtain a man of suf- ficient stature to fill Dean Sullivan ' s position. This man ' s task would be to prepare young Catholic men for a professional career and to further the name of Santa Clara in the engineering world. This effort proved fruitful. The personality selected was Robert J. Porden. He arrived at Santa Clara in 1954 and assumed the duties of assistant Dean. Upon the retirement of Dean Sullivan in 1955, he was given full responsibility of the College of Engineering.
