Villanova is not a richly endowed college, yet in a sense it is richer than many universities. Rather than in bequested fortunes however, her riches are in the form of a living endowment—a clerical faculty who have dedicated their lives to the education and training of well-rounded men. capable in their field and firm in their foundations of a truly Catholic philosophy of life. To further supplement this religious faculty are the many capable lay instructors who by their ex- perience in the outside world add the particular knowledge that is essential to the development of the student. Since the lay teachers arc in daily con- tact with the world of business and science, they are better able to demonstrate how theory and practice unite into one functioning unit. Combined, these teachers offer instruction in many specific fields, utilizing their background of the arts, philosophy, and theology to assist the student in his search for knowledge. ROBERT M.

Assistant Professor, Naval Science The work of the faculty, however, does not cease when they leave the classroom. Indeed, in some cases it is but the beginning, for these men devote their time freely to assist the many clubs, frater- nities, and societies which dominate the campus. The many extra-curricular activities often make heavy demands upon the Professors’ time, but their efforts are rewarded by the realization that they have further contributed in the producing of a better man. From those first days in the fall of 1842, the administration has realized that only a well selected faculty could achieve the high purpose for which the college was founded. As a result it has success- fully maintained its efforts to provide the college with only the most capable teachers available. Since those founding years when Father O’Dwyer was assisted by only seven instructors, Villanova has increased in size and stature, but never has her objective wavered. Today there are well over one hundred and fifty teachers laboring side by side to bring to the student the specific knowledge of his field, the diversified education necessary to make him a well-balanced individual, and most important, the religious training that will make him firm in his faith. HEARING the call to his country as well as to his God, Father Han- dren left us last year for active duty in the Navy’s Chaplain Corps. Here he is seen leading the boys in a hymn service.
