La Salle University is a liberal arts institution which combines the best of all educational worlds. With 3,500 men and women attending classes, the university offers a pleasant environment within close proximity to Philadelphia's cultural, social, and historic centers.
Founded by the Brothers of Christian Schools, La Salle is named for St. John Baptist de La Salle, founder of the Chris- tian Brothers. The institution, which began as a one-building academy in center city Philadelphia, is on an 85-acre, 36-building in Philadelphia's Germantown section.
The La Salle day and evening faculty numbers 400 full and part-time, with 45 different programs of study offered for students to major in. With a student-faculty ratio of 15-to-1 and an average
class size of 21 , students can be assured of as much personal guidance as needed from faculty members. This commitment to the individual has always been a major tenet of the Christian Brothers' goals for La Salle. La Salle's curriculum requires the completion of 120 credits, but allows wide flexibility in choosing courses. A limited number of requirements in English composition, literature, philosophy and religion provide greater opportunity for depth outside of the student's major field. The number of courses required by a department of its major never exceeds 17, leaving 8-10 courses as free electives that may be used to build a strong minor or diversify one's background. Various independent study programs provide the students with greater options. A thriving nationally-recognized Honors Program is available for gifted students. "La Salle in Europe" offers students the opportunity to spend their sophomore or junior year at the University of Fribourg, in Switzerland, while receiving full academic credit at La Salle. Programs are also available for a summer or a year of study in Spain. Among the major buildings on campus are the David Leo Lawrence Memorial Library; the Roland Holroyd Science Center with facilities for study and research in Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Physics, and Psychology; the Olney Hall classroom building; and the College Union which houses offices for most 1100 students in 11 residence halls and two apartment com- student activities and clubs and is the main meeting place on plexes. More than 75% of the student body goes on to graduate campus. study, with more than 1000 degrees conferred annually on day

Brother Patrick has been an avid devotee of the arts all his
life, and has performed in several productions over the years, the last being "Knickerbocker Holiday" at La Salle's Summer
Theatre in 1971 . His sketches of local scenes frequently adorn his personal notes and Christmas cards. He has sung the National Anthem at a number of La Salle basketball games, and before Philadelphia Phillies games at Veterans Stadium.
Brother Patrick Ellis was installed as President of La Salle Col- lege on January 1, 1977. A member of the Brothers of the Christian Schools since 1946,
Brother Patrick first joined the La Salle staff in 1960 as a professor of English. He has been associated with La Salle since that time, except for a term as principal of La Salle High School in Miami, Fl from 1962-64. He returned to Philadelphia in 1964, and was the Director of La Salle's Honors Program until 1969 when he was named Director of Development and Vice Presi- dent of the Corporation. A native of Baltimore, MD, Brother
Patrick graduated from Calvert Hall College High School in 1946, received an A.B. degree in English from Catholic University in
1951 , and earned his master's degree and doctorate in English from the University of Pennsylvania.
He was first assigned to the Philadelphia area in 1951 when he joined the staff at West Catholic High School for Boys. In the 10 years he was there he served as Chairman of the English Department and as Guidance Director. Active in numerous national and local organizations, Brother
Patrick is a member of the Board of Trustees of Manhattan Col- lege, St. Mary's College (Winona, MN), St. Mary's College

Speedy Morris' first season as a men's NCAA Division I Head
Coach ended as had his previous 1 8 seasons as a head coach, with a winning record. And as many of those previous seasons had ended, his team's last game was for a championship, last year the National Invitational Tournament in Madison Square Garden.
The 1986-87 Explorers faced on of the most difficult schedules in the country, playing eight teams which reached the NCAA Tournament and two others in the NIT field. The 20-13 final record was even more of a major achievement in light of the fact that only six players were used regularly during the last six weeks of the regular season and into the NIT.
Morris was one of the best-known high school coaches in the nation through 14 years at Philadelphia's Roman Catholic High School (347-82) and two years at The William Penn Charter School (40-14). His Roman Catholic teams won one Philadelphia
City Championship; six Philadelphia Catholic League titles; two National Catholic Tournament championships; and had four 30-victory seasons.
At Penn Charter, his 1983-84 team won the Philadelphia Inter- academic League championship, the school's first in 1 2 seasons.
His decision to become head coach of La Salle's women's basketball team in August, 1984 shocked the Philadelphia basketball community, but the results in two seasons were familiar: two 20-victory seasons; a Metro Atlantic Athletic Con- ference championship and NCAA Tournament berth in 1986; 13 new school team and individual records. And then, in March,
1986, he became the first Division I Head Coach to move from a women's position to a men's team.

test. The other areas of his game are vastly improved. He can shoot off the dribble, pass, and is sound in all of the fundamen-

The Purple Eagles led through most of the first half, 38-37 at halftime, and the Explorers were reeling, particularly Simmons, who had suf- fered a broken nose in a first-half collision with a Niagara elbow, and Koretz, who had shot 0-7 (5 three-pointers), while Joe Arlauckas had 17 points for Niagara. 47 , NIT - 1987 March 24 LA SALLE 92 — Arkansas-Little Rock 73 Fifteen busloads of La Salle fans showed up at Madison Square Garden for the NIT semifinal, a matchup of the two smallest rosters among NCAA Division I teams (La Salle had nine players in uniform, Arkansas-Little Rock eight). The outcome was decided early when Koretz (twice), Legler, and Tarr (twice) scored La Salle's first five baskets on three-point shots, and when Tarr added a free throw after his second bucket, the lead was 1 6-6. By halftime, it was La Salle, 45-34, with the Explorers hitting 8-14 three-pointers. The lead was cut to nine points early in the second half, but nine straight Explorer points opened a 56-38 lead, and made the game's last 14:00 expendable. Legler finished with 26 points, Tarr 23 and 12 assists, Simmons 21 and then they all ducked from the crowd of students who once again charged onto the court at the final horn. La Salle was playing in a National Championship Game for thefirst time in 31 years, since losing the NCAA Championship to San Fran- cisco in 1956. And the season which seemed over one month before March 21 was one incredible game longer. LA SALLE 70 — Illinois State 50 "It's a credit to the kids," said Head Coach Speedy Morris. "They didn't quit when we played horrible and lost to Army and Fairfield (last After two games on the road , the Explorers returned to The Palestra, two regular-season games).

La Salle opened a 10-2 lead, with Simmons, who practiced with "I've gone from the lowest point in my career to the highest point," a protective mask over his nose but decided not to wear it during the said Tim Legler. "It's indescribable." game, scoring 5 points. Illinois State rallied for a 12-12 tie, with Der- rick Sanders scoring 10 consecutive points, but 3 points from Legler put the Explorers ahead for good.

Tarr, free momen- tarily in the corner in three-point range, attempts to pass the ball back to Legler, but the pass is stolen, and Southern Mississippi wins the NIT title, 84-82. Simmons finished his brilliant freshman season with 34 points (10-10 free throws), 11 rebounds, and selection to the NIT all-star team. Tarr scored 14 points, and his 9 assists gave him 189 for the season, a new school record. Legler scored 12, Conlin 10 and Koretz8, finishing his career with 1382 points, 11th highest all-time at La Salle. "I love these guys," said Conlin. "It does feel a little hopeless to come all this way and come up empty. It's tough. I feel bad for the people at home on campus. A lot of people may think we don't ap- preciate the fans, but we do." "We brought La Salle back where it used to be," said Simmons. ' 'All those fans going crazy. Even after we lost, they were still with us. It's a great sign going into next year."
