DePaulia (DePaul University, Chicago, IL), 1924-10-16

              W©D©®OTQ® Freshmen! De Paul Law School Begins Banner Year Valuable Additions Are Made to the Faculty De Paul University's Law School is entering1 a banner year with an enrollment of over 415 students, 165 of whom are Freshmen, according to a conservative estimate by Professor Taft. This makes it one of the largest in the State of Illinois. Its rating with the New York Board of Regents and the recent action of the Association of American Law Schools, as well as the flattering records of its students in the Bar Examinations, easily mark it as one of the best. Its faculty has been considerably strengthened by the addition of tVo new men, Ralph S. Bauer and John J. Meehan. Professor Bauer comes to De Paul from the University of Illinois. He received his Arts rJpgree at Urbana, his Master's degree from James Milliken University, of Decatur, and was liiauc a Doctor of Lav by the University of Chicago. He is the author of "Bauer's Cases on the subject, and also of a text on business law, designed for use in commerce schools, etc. He succeeds Professor Reardon, who resigned last June, and is already a great favorite with the students. Mr. Meehan, in addition to his teaching, has been placed in charge of the Law Library, one of the most complete of its kind. Here he has established a new and very efficient system. He is a graduate of Syracuse University, and was admitted to the New York Bar on his twenty-first birthday. He has been engaged in active practice in New York and Chicago since 1906. He has an excellent reason for being a Democrat. We suggest that you ask him what it is. Professors Henry Taft, the football fan, and James J. Cherry are back as full-time men, while among the parttime instructors are Dean F. X. Busch, now Chicago's Corporation Counsel, Secretary Clarke, Messrs. Doty, Assistant Corporation Counsel, Gutknecht, Kinne, Warvelle, Walker, Donovan, Roemer, Alsager, Johnson, Hurley, Evans, Partridge and Special Lecturers Charles L. Mahoney and Frank Comerford. To their number has been added Prof. Love, of the firm of Love and Love. He is teaching Mechanics' Liens in the Evening Division. Rev. McCarthy on Radio The Rev. C. J. McCarthy, C. M., Professor of History and vice-president of De Paul was in charge of a Sunday afternoon chapel service which was broadcast over station K. Y. W. on Columbus day. Father McCarthy gave a most interesting talk on "Christopher Columbus."A. M'QUHAE CONCERT TO BE STAGED OCT 20 Student Support Solicited for Forthcoming Musical Event On Monday evening, October 20, at Orchestra Hall, Mr. Allen McQuhae, one of America's foremost artists, will be heard in concert. Mr. McQuhae's voice, as ample press notices demonstrate, is of a superb lyric quality, and it is with pleasure that his presence is anticipated. The concert is sponsored by the "DePaul Home Economics Endowment Club," and is for the purpose of raising funds to found a chair of Domestic Sciences at DePaul University. On the evening of the concert Mr. McQuhae will be assisted by Mr. Arthur Becker, Dean of the School of Music, and Mr. Victor Tufigno, violinist, and a member of the faculty of the School of Music. It is hoped that as the funds of the concert redound to the success of DePaul University, the student support will be, as usual, almost unanimous. And this is a proper place to inform not only the Freshmen, but also all new students of all classes, that it is the habit of students here to support all the activities of the University. We hope that this may not prove an exception. For those who have not yet had the pleasure of hearing Mr. McQuhae sing, we may quote a few press notices, thus allaying any preconceived fear. New York Globe: "In the delivery of each of his songs there were abundant technical skill and a fine dignity and purity of style—sheer delight—Mr. McQuhae rose to an impressive height of tragic utterance." New York Sun: "A recollection of John McCormack—he rose happily to his best—he delighted every hearer." New York Evening Journal: "He has a voice that is clear, smooth, and even—really a beautiful organ." Cleveland Leader: "We know that there is only one tenor in America who sings the Irish ballads as he does— The crowd clamored for a repetition of each." The Dartmouth Undergraduate Reports of Educational Policy. (The New Student). In response to an invitation addressed by President Hopkins, of Dartmouth College, to ten undergraduates, a report giving the student view point on educational policy was issued late last semester. The document, about 40,000 words in length, is the most remarkable bit of work ever done by undergraduates in this field. The all-importance of the faculty in any system of education and the desirability of a more personal relationship between professors and students was emphasized. Vol. 3. No. 1 CHICAGO, ILLINOIS Oct. 16, 1924 In view of the fact that all classes and departmental organizations will not be completed until the end of this week, we are holding over publication of notices until next issue when we hope to have complete returns of all elections in print. Class officers should see that notice of their class elections is published. MURPHY HEADS STUDES Student Body Meeting Elects Officers for Year Activities of the Arts and Sciences divisions of De Paul University started officially at a meeting of the student body last Tuesday, October 6. A welcoming address by the Reverend T. J. Foulkes, Assistant Dean, opened the meeting. Henry L. Phoenix was appointed temporary chairman. The Reverend D. A. Duggan, Dean of the college, gave a few interesting and suggestive remarks regarding the plans for the coming school year: The names of Preston Murphy, John D. Murphy, Thomas McNamara and Gressing Culver were placed in nomination for the presidency of the Student Council. A second meeting was called on Friday, October 10th, for purpose of electing officers to the Student Council. Of the four candidates nominated for presidency: Preston Murphy, a member of the Senior class was elected by a majority. The other respective officers elected are: John Murphy, vice-president Miss Dorothy Gibbons, secretary, and Charles Cummings, treasurer. Charles O'Donnell of the editorial staff of the De Paulia, urged the students to back their school paper not only by corresponding with financial aid, which is constantly in demand, but also to exercise their literary capabilities to make the De Paulia one of the best college newspapers. The advertising manager of the De Paulia, Warren G. Henry, unfolded a plan which has since been thwarted by unexpected obstacles. NEW MAN IN ROMANCE LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT Professor Vincent Lalane comes to De Paul from the French department of the Illinois State Normal University. He also taught at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn. He is a graduate of Calcais Condoscet, Paris, where he received a doctor's degree. Besides his exceptional French, he speaks Italian and Spanish fluently, for he has lived and studied in both Rome and Madrid a world traveler, he understands a number of Oriental languages. Professor Lalane's pet aversion is conceit so he clings tenaciously to the more modest title of 'Professor' instead of assuming his wellearned title of 'Doctor.' He assured us he is already in love with both the school and the students and hopes that his classes will continue as they have begun. HARRY ADAMS AT HELM OF RED AND BLUE New Mentor Athletic Ace of Montana By this time the student body has become aware of the fact that De Paul University has a football team, and a good one. Now we will present the brains behind the brawnCoach Harry Adams. Several years of intensive participation in athletics, both as a performer and as a coach have prepared him for the responsibilities of his present position. He secured his university training at the University of Montana, where he took a prominent part in track, basketball and football, and maintained his position on these teams during his four years at the University. On the track, he distinguished himself as a member of the 400 yd. relay team which established a world record of .40 2/5 in 1920 at Seattle, Washington. The basketball team, of which he was a regular, won the championship for fifteen consecutive years. In football he won his spurs as a quarterback and in his last year was placed on the first team of the All-Northwestern Conference eleven.

Welcome FretHiimiiii College of Commerce Has Big Registration Newest De Paul Department Is Also Biggest The College of Commerce, organized in 1912, is the newest division of the University, but has shown itself to be a very vigorous youngster. It is easily the largest division of De Paul. With registrations still pouring into the office, its enrollment may reach the 800mark. At this time there are over 730 students in the various classes. This growth is partly due to the fact that the Law School will accept certain work done in this department toward its entrance requirements, however, the real reason seems to lie in the business world demand for trained workers and in the excellent standing of the College. The school offers courses in practically every field of commercial endeavor as well as in journalism. Among the new courses offered one of the most popular seems to be Hotel Accounting, which aims to give a proper preparation for hotel management, administration and accounting. Many employees of local hostelrys are enrolled. The course is being taught by Mr. Paul Simon, of the accounting firm of Horwath, and also by a man who is making his bow at De Paul, Mr. Daniel J. O'Brien, an Oxford graduate, who comes to De Paul with both European and American experience. Father McHugh, Dean Clarke, Dr. Losty, Professors Troxell, Sause and Klein, of last year's faculty, are again teaching their usual courses. To their number has been added Professor John A. Shannon, who holds a B. S. from Chattanooga Normal University and an LL. B. from De Paul. He has had considerable experience as a teacher as well as in the business world. He is teaching Salesmanship, Sales Management, etc. The number of part-time instructors is still large. Beside Prof. Szymczak, Buckley, Lawrence, and the rest, we also have Mr. Ackermann in the Accounting Dept. He received his Master's degree at De Paul last June. The Loop High School has broken all records in the matter of increased attendance. It has become necessary to run a new section of high school classes which meets on Tuesday evening, Thursday evening and Saturday afternoon. Professor Harvey T. Klein, principal of the Loop High School reports that even this second section is about to be closed to new students. The Shorthand School has an enrollment in the day and evening divisions of about 100 students. Mrs. Louise F. Clarke and Miss Ethel J. Johnson of the full time faculty are again in charge of the classes (Continued on Pafe Three)
