ADMINISTERING Just as every business concern mus» have capable officers so must a college have efficient administra- tors. But the work of college officers is twofold since they solve not only business problems but student problems as well. For example, if you were a stu- dent this year. Father Boyle, the Assistant Dean, would have arranged the basic schedule for your curriculum. In addition to this he would be the man who solved your problems with the draft board. Father McMenamin, the Procurator, took charge of ordoring and purchasin 3 of the maintenance and operational equipment for the entire college. Order- ing your textbooks, buying the new equipment for your labs were just a small part of his job. When REV. DANIEL P. FALVEY, O.S.A. Librarian REV. EDWARD J. McCarthy, o.s.a. Dean of Extension Schools J. STANLEY MOREHOUSE Dean of Engineering REV. JOHN W. TUOHY, O.S.A. Dean of Freshmen REV. EDWIN T. GRIMES, O.S.A. Chaplain REV. JOHN J. McMENAMIN, O.S.A. Procurator REV. JOSEPH C. BARTLEY, O.S.A. Dean of Commerce and Finance ' yv, marKs arter each quarter last year they came from the efficient office of the Registrar, Father McDonnell, who conducted your entrance examina- tion when you first came »0 college, and who will send your transcript to employers after you gradua- te. Handling the purse strings for any institution demands the service of a capable comptroller. You pay your tuition »0 Mr. Dever, and he in turn expe- dites payment of the bills rendered for college oper- at,on and expansion. Every college student faces, at one time or other, life’s darkest moment. At such a moment Father Grimes' aid is invaluable. The Chaplain’s advice or consolation can solve the most difficult problem, helping to form a strong soul to complement the Villanovan’s sound mind and body. This year Father Bartley was able »0 devote all his •nergy to his job as Dean of the Commerce and Finance school. He completed a re-appraisal of the C F curriculum to improve even more the largest of the college schools.

DEAN OF MEN, Father M Keo, holds a three-fold position on the Administrative Staff, which demands a quality of abil- ity far above the ordinary. ACADEMIC ADMINISTRATION is the chief concern of Father Edward M. Dwyer, but he manages as well to maintain student classroom contact by teaching his beloved philosophy courses. TJice- Pfiesiaeni Reverend Edward B. McKee, O.S.A., holds the positions of Vice-President of the College, Dean of Men, and Moderator of Athletics. As Dean of Men, it is his duty to direct tho housing of resident students and to act as disciplinarian. It is the function of the Vice-Presidont to be an assistant to the President in the formulating of school policies and to serve as a contact between the faculty and executive board of the college. In his capacity os Moderator of Athletics, Father McKoe spends a great deal of time in the preparation and execution of intercollegiate schedules. Father McKee has brought with him to his various positions a wealth of necossary experience needed to fulfill them. Since '31, and prior to his appoint- ment as Vice-President, ho has been an educator, a counselor, the Moderator of the Villanovan, and Director of Intramural Athletics. Doan of the College, though a very impressive title, signifies much more than first may be observed. Rev. Edward M. Dwyer, O.S.A., as Dean of Villanova College, must work very dosoly with the faculty and students to assure a smoothly working institution. The decisions concerning which subjects will be taught, at what hours, where, and by whom, must all be decided with care by the Doan. He must also give guiding counsel to students. Since its creation in 1944, the position of Dean has been filled by Father Dwyer. He was presented with the onormous problem of directing the smooth transition from a war-time to a peace-time college. This is one of the many jobs which he has successfully accomplished. Father is a graduate of Villanova, and has also studied at Wurzburg, Berlin, and Rome. He now complements his busy hours in the office with teaching hours in the fiold of Philosophy. p)ean

FRIEL, III Alumni Officer Borrowing a book from the library was a simple procedure for you as a student. But it was so only because of the efficient job done by Father Falvey and his staff of librarians. If you were an engineer, your studies fell into tightly planned and organized curricula. Dean Morehouse has done well his job of keeping Villanova among the top engineering schools. Appointed this year as new Dean of the Summer and Extension Schools, Father McCarthy has brought with him to his new office the efficiency and organiza- tion that characterized the Arts School when he was its Dean. As an arts student you would have deal- ings with your new Dean just appointed this year. Father Sullivan replaced Father McCarthy, and re- mains as the English department head. From the day when you get your blue dink to the time you gain Sophomore status, Father Tuohy, as your Dean of Freshmen, keeps you in line during the introduction to college life. Your student or- ganizations were not just haphazard and your stu- dent government unorganized with Father McLaugh- lin as the Dean of Student Activities. After you grad- uate Mr. Harris of the Placement Bureau will help to place you in a job suited to your college training. Mr. Fricl will enroll you then as a member of the Alumni Association so that you can keep in touch and recall your days under these administrative officers.
