F HIIL T Y HARRY S. BUECHE Engineering The Villanova spirit cannot be better emphasized than by its faculty. Here may be found that synchronous efficiency and intellectual integ- rity so necessary for the continuance of time-honored tradition. Here one may put his finger on the pulse of a true pedagogue a human- ness of approach and a tremendous desire to disseminate the bene- ficial. Each member of the faculty is an individualist in method, but achieves, by means of his individuality, a general effect—a devel- oped student, a Villanova gentleman. The teacher, the economist, the engineer, the doctor -each takes from the campus the knowledge, the wit, the devotion afforded him by the various faculty members of the four schools, and it is the endeavor of the administration to give each student as many- sided a curriculum as is feasible with his particular field of study. The finished engineer is a product of the professor of religion, the in- structor in economics, the teacher of the sciences—just as he is an effect of the various departments of engineering. Since the inception of the military training program, the lay-clerical faculty has taken on a new partner—the military instructor. The suc- cess of the instruction of the military personnel is a just tribute to the reorganization of the faculty to meet the new demands. This flexi- REV. THOMAS A. BURKE. O.S.A. Engineering REV.

FACULTY bility of organization—sufficient to sustain even the most drastic cur- ricular changes— is again a result of the synchronous efficiency of the college faculty. This reasonance of planning can also be traced back to the marvelous training with which the majority of the faculty have prepared themselves. The clerical members, with few excep- tions. pursued their undergraduate work here at Villanova. and then enhanced this primary training with graduate study both here and abroad. The University of Pennsylvania, Catholic University of America, Gregorian College in Rome. Wurzburg in Germany, Oxford in England, George Washington University. Columbia, M. I. T. Rensel- laer Polytechnic- these are a few of the places where the religious members of the faculty have pursued their respective fields. The lay faculty members, (many in the list of Villanova graduates) have at- tended such institutions as University of Pennsylvania. Iowa State, University of Illinois, Northwestern, University of Chicago, Notre Dame, Cornell, Georgetown, Dartmouth, Harvard, University of Wisconsin, Holy Cross, Duquesne. Thus our faculty was fully prepared to meet Navy training and Navy practicality with a clean slate and equality of feeling for the highest education has to offer in these times of stress and national hardship.
