In 1863, the Christian Brothers opened a small school in Philadel- phia. Within twenty years the school had outgrown its facilities and was forced to nnove to a new location. A few more years and this location also became too small and the school moved again, this time to more spacious acreage at the present site, 20th and OIney. Buildings began to grow out of the ground, slowly at first, then rapidly as the G.I. Bill swelled enrollment and filled the classrooms. Old fa- cilities were expanded, new facili- ties were created—another class- room building, a modern library, a bigger, better dining hall. Today student residence buildings are rising. II been In the four years we have here, we, the senior class, have seen La Salle inaugurate a most ambitious plan for expansion, not in only in brick and steel, but achievement and glory and^ re- nown.

Stanislaus. Brother Paul was President of La Salle from 1946 to 1952. Under his administration the enrollment rose from 94 students in 1939 to an astonishing 1300 in 1953. hlis was the problem of accommodating the multiplied post war enrollment, hie accepted the challenge and formulated what was not a temporary supplement to existing facilities, but a long range pro- gram calling for newer and greater facilities. Dedication BROTHER E. STANISLAUS. F.S.C.. PH.D. Brother Stanislaus took up the task when he became president in Septennber of 1952. His job is to see that the dream of expansion remains not a dream, but becomes a concrete and steel reality. This calls for action and Brother Stanislaus is a man of action, a man who gets things done. A more fitting choice for the job cannot be found. With his impressive stature and tremendous drive, Brother Stanislaus Is a symbol of the giant that Is La Salle. r^i F??P^ r\ \ ZL ^s S T \ 312- r=i N""!! \. nn I , I I .r , p milzt; ADMINISTRATIC (fc isbli. v^Ste^ TTT- rrryrs3 ' ^^S TT'V , , 1^ ^— AND FACULTY In his position as president, Brother E.
