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.

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.

'...THOU GOOD AND FAITHFUL FATHER LUDWIG leaves the classroom building after a full day's work only to return at a later hour to prepare laboratory material to augment his loctures. Whether it was the stillness of an empty laboratory during student holidays or the serenity of a nearby brook, Father was always at work in his chosen field, to instruct, aid the student, and, above all, serve God. A profound loss to both the Augustinian Community and the students at Villanova College was the death of Father Francis J. Ludwig, O.S.A., noted scientist and professor of Biology. Father Ludwig was a native of Philadelphia and entered the Villanova Preparatory School in 1920. Four years later he became a novice in the Augustinian Order, gradu- ating from the College with the Class of 1928. In June, 1931, he was ordained a priest and one year later assigned to the faculty at Villanova. His post-graduate work started at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Subsequently he received his Master of Science Oegree and Doctorate Degree at the University of Pennsylvania. Father Ludwig achieved an outstanding reputation for his work in micro- scopic organisms, and received wide recognition for his ability to draw and observe microscopic life. Death took Father Ludwig from us fol- lowing a short illness. People from all walks in life who had the opportunity of studying under Father Ludwig or knowing him, shall long remember his modest attitude and most valuable contributions to the field of Science.
