ONE OF THE MOST demanding administrative posi- tions at Villanova is that of Vice-President, which is capably filled by Reverend Edward B. McKee, O.S.A. In this capacity he assists the President in the formula- tion of school policy and is a strong link between the faculty and the administration. In addition to this office, Father McKee also holds those of Dean of Men and Moderator of Athletics. As Athletic Moderator he schedules all games and is re- sponsible for athletic relations with other schools. Years of practice, as Educator, Counsellor. Moderator of the Villanovan. and Director of Intramural Athletics have given him the experience required to solve his numerous problems. SINCE THE ESTABLISHMENT of the office of Dean of the College in 1944, Reverend Edward M. Dwyer. O.S.A., has been our Dean. His is perhaps the busiest of all the administrative offices because it is to him that students and faculty alike first bring their problems. In addition to being Dean. Father Dwyer is also Professor of Philosophy and has been since 1937. Father Dwyer came to Villanova in 1920 and stayed until 1928, when he finished his college work and went to study at Wurzburg and Berlin. He received his Doctor's Degree from Wurzburg in 1933. He spent the next four years studying at Institute Angelicum at Rome. Vice PlebiAetU PeoeA tuU SdLuaSiA S. McKee O.S.A. jbea+t (leoe iefuH SJUugsuIL M. buufe i O.S.A.

Vetof (laueAetuH x tcU X. A. McQuisie. 6.S.A. THE VERY REVEREND Francis X. N. McGuire, O.S.A., became President of Villanova College in June, 1944, just five years after his arrival on the campus as Assistant Professor of Religion. From June, 1941, until he became President, he was Vice-President, Dean of Men, and Faculty Moderator of Athletics. He received his A.B. from Villanova in 1932 and his Doctor of Sacred Theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University at Rome in 1939. Since then he has received two honorary Doctor of Laws Degrees. As energetic off campus as on campus, Father McGuire is an important figure in many outside activities. Since 1945 he has been a member of the Board of Trustees at Rosemont College. Since 1946 he has been a member of the Executive Committee of the Pennsylvania Association of Colleges and Universities; and in October, 1952, he was elected President of that organization. In the nine years he has been President of Villanova, Father McGuire has done much for the progress of the school. Among the many problems of the college he has solved are the post war expansion, yearly increasing en- rollments, and those of the Korean conflict. His ceaseless efforts for the betterment of this institution and his suc- cess in them have earned for Father McGuire the admi- ration and respect of everyone on campus. Pn U esd. 12
