VICE-PRESIDENT THE DEMANDING ADMINISTRATIVE position of Vice- President of the University is in the capable hands of Rev. Edward B. McKee, O.S.A. Assisting the President in the formulation of school policy and providing strong con- nections between the administration, faculty, and students are the main responsibilities of this position. Father McKee is also Dean of Men and Moderator of Athletics. Prior to his appointment as Vice-President, he distinguished himself as a teacher, counselor, Moderator of the Villanovan, and Director of Intramural Athletics. Presently he deals with disciplinary problems as Dean of Men and with intercollegiate athletic relations as Mod- erator of Athletics. Reverend Sdward H. McKee, O.S.J. DEAN PERHAPS THE BUSIEST of all administra- tive offices is that of Dean of the Uni- versity. Since the office was established in 1944, Rev. Edward M. Dwyer, O.S.A., has filled the position. He is the final judge of most of the problems of both the faculty and students. Father Dwyer finished his undergraduate work at Villanova in 1928 and continued his studies at the University of Wurzburg and the University of Berlin, where he received his doctorate in 1933. He spent the next four years studying at the Institute Angeli- cum and the College of St. Monica in Rome, Italy. Since 1937 Father Dwyer has been Professor of Philosophy at Villanova, which department he now heads. Reverend Sdward M- 'Dwyer, O.S.A.

Very Keverend fames 4. Donnellon, O.S.A- THE VERY REV. JAMES a. DONNELLON, O.S.A., was appointed to the Presidency of Villanova University on February 3, 1954. He succeeded the Very Rev. Francis X. N. McGuire, O.S.A., who had served as President for ten years, and who had the honor of being the first University President. Now in his twentieth year as a priest, Father Donnellon was, at the time of his appointment, Prior of the Monastery and Chairman of the Athletic Board. He also held the position of Biology Department Head, which he continued to hold during the academic year of 1953-1954. Father Donnellon brought to the office of President an excellent record of administrative, scholastic, and teaching successes. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Villanova in 1930. Continuing his advance- ment, he received his Master of Science in 1936 and his Doctor of Philosophy in 1938, from the University of Pennsylvania. His studies have also taken him to the Augustinian College and Catholic University in Washington, D. C., and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass. Vilanova’s twenty-third President is a serious, earnest and congenial personality who has vowed to do all in his power to bring about a closer contact between the student body and University authorities. FR. DONNELLON, ably assisted by Fr. McGuire, breaks ground for the new $1,000,000 dormitory. 25
