Greater Love than this no man hah "Eternal rest grant unto them O'Lord THE ADMIIVISTRATDRS The University of Santa Clara, like the other universities and colleges of the United States, is proud of her sons v/ho distinguished themselves in the recent war. They brought a glory to themselves and their Alma Mater which will never fade. Particularly is Santa Clara proud of her eighty-four sons who made the supreme sacrifice of their lives through devotion to their country and what the country stands for. The University of Santa Clara will not forget those heroic sons nor does she wish future generations of students at Santa Clara to forget them. That they may not be forgotten is the reason that this book has been dedicated to them. Fitting as this tribute is it is far from adequate, a more lasting memorial should be erected to their memory. When circumstan-

ces permit it is the hope of the authorities of the University that a "Student Memorial Union" can be built. In a suitable place a plaque will be placed on which will be inscribed the names of all those who gave their lives that future generations of Americans might continue to live in the enjoyment of the freedom and happinss which is guaranteed them by the principles set forth in the Consti- tution of the United States. The memory of the heroic sons of Santa Clara must be kept alive as a example of devotion, loyalty and uprightness. Their memory should be an inspiration for future sons of Santa Clara to shape their lives in accordance with the pur- REV, WILLIAM C. GIANERA, S.J. pose for which Santa Clara was President founded "to mould men after the model of the Man-God, and thus form them to serve their fellow- men, their country and their God."

Rev. William C. Gianera, S.J., president of Santa

Clara University, is no stranger to the students or alumni of this institution. His appointment to the presidency last October came during his twentieth year of service to the school. In 1926 Father Gianera was appointed director of discipline and two years later assumed the duties of the Dean of Faculities, a position which he held until the announcement of his promotion to the office of president. The appointment of Rev. William C. Gianera, S.J., succeed-

ing Pev. Charles J. Walsh, S.J., as president of the University of Santa Clara, may well be taken as the occasion for the emer-

gence of Santa Clara from a time of war which drained it of

over four fifth of its student body and drastically curtailed its

extra curricular activities.

To Father Gianera in this period of rejuvenation falls the

task of reconversion and the expected post-war expansion

which includes the construction of a student union. Plans for

the erection of this building had been under way in 1941 but

were cancelled the after Pearl Harbor attack because of the

COLLEGE OF ARTS

AND SCIENCES . . .

The Jesuit system of education is particularly adapted to the physical set-up of the "small university" where the personal, vital contact between the professor and his students is to be had. At Santa Clara the Arts curriculum is concerned with the physical, mental, moral development of the whole man, thus laying a rational and ethical foundation for future specializa- tion. Covering a period of four years, the courses selected in this field are aimed at the development of a cultivated intellect directing moderation and deliberation in all things. The Artsman is trained in the humanities, rhetoric, mathematics, natural sciences, religion, and philosophy. Spec- ialization is offered in the major fields of Economics, English, Philosophy, Political Science, History, Biology, and Chemistry. Rev. James A. King, S.J., is now Dean of the college.

COLLEGE OF

ENGINEERING . . .

Since 1912 Santa Clara has conducted a school teaching three of the must fundamental branches of engineering — civil, mechanical, and electrical — and has in this way added to the number of men who apply knowledge obtained by research and testing to the resultant products of engineering work. The engineer's intimate acquaintance with the properties of matter and his ability to harness nature's sources of power result in benefits to mankind in the form of structures, machines, and manufactured products. But training in mathematics', physics, and chemistry does not alone constitute the Santa Claran's ideal. His is the desire to possess an acute and cul- tured mind given him in Santa Clara's broad college education. George L. Sullivan has been Dean of the college since 1918 and is largely responsible for its excellent reputation. COLLEGE OF LAW . . .

Use of the classical case system in the instruction of the principles of law and the opportunity for personal attention afford- ed those enrolled in law have won for Santa Clara's youngest college the approval of the American Bar Association which has given full endorsement to the administration of the school headed by

Dean Edwin J. Owens. The course of study offered in the Col- lege of Law aims at a knowledge of the fundamental principles in English and American Law, a proper application of these principles to concrete cases, and a thorough understanding of the ethical principles governing the legal profession. Because of the war, regular class sessions were discontinued in the spring of 1943 but were begun again in August of 1945 for the future lawyers.

COLLEGE OF BUSINESS

The two-fold purpose of Santa Clara's College of Business Administration is to train its students to take part in the organization and management of the modern specialized industrial system and to provide them with a cultural background which will benefit them in their dealings with industry in its social relationships. Accordingly, in addition to the specialized courses taught in Accounting, Mar- keting, Statistics, Finance, Banking, Com- mercial Law, and Labor Conditions, the college supplements its curriculum with broader courses in Scholastic Philosophy, History, English, Political Science, the Natural Sciences, and Religion.

Under the leadership of Dean Charles J. Dirksen, the college this year completes its twenty-third year as a separate unit of the university. THE UNIVERSITY Elass of 194G Arts and Sciences . .

Outstanding among the campus organizations is the Engineering Society composed of men who, working and thinking together, form a loyal, unified and efficient group. Discussions led by some prom- inent individual on a topic closely related to one of the three engineering fields, civil, mechanical, or electrical, and instructive in- spection trips are important fea- turos of the group's work. This year the society was under the lecdcrship of Angelo Giovan- netti, senior mechanical engineer. Assisting him were Joseph Spill- ane, Vice-president; Charles Peck, Secretary; Virgil Dusbabek, Treas- urer; and E. Jackson Going, Ser- geant-at-Arms.

The Sanctuary Society

St. John Berchman's Sanctuary So- ciety, a separate and special branch of the Sodality, is composed of those men who serve at all functions held in the Mission Church. Men in the sanctuary undergo a year's probation during which time they are examined and approved in conduct, service, and studies. This year twenty-three men fulfilled the necessary qualifications and were officially received into the organization on May 9. After the annual reception, the traditional banquet was held in the school dining room. Prefect for the society this year was Joseph Radigan, while George Aherne served as Secretary. Rev. John W. Clif-

ford, S. J., was faculty moderator for the group for the second year.

The Sodality

Dedicated to the furthering of devotion to the Blessed Virgin, the Sodal- ity is the focal point about which all religious activities revolve. Monthly communion, discussions cen- tering about Catholic ethics, and participation in a weekly dialogue Mass were but a few of the activities fostered by Sodalists this year. Not content with campus work alone, members of of the sodality sacrificed their time to teach religion classes for the benefit of the local grammar school children. A picnic at Santa Cruz and the on- campus Invitational Dance in Novem- ber comprised the social functions sponsored by this group under Prefect William Mclnerney. Assisting him were: Vice-prefect, Joseph McNett, and Secretary-treasurer, William Feeney. 'acuity moderator was Rev. Joseph D.

The Mendel Society, comprising some thirty pre-medical students devoted to a study of various phases of the medical profession, functioned during the past year under the leadership of Walter Hackett, senior student from Ohio. During the fall, movies depicting items of interest for the future doctor were shown and in the spring the pre- meds were conducted on a tour through the tuberculosis annex of the Santa Clara County Hospital. October found the members picnick- ing at Alum Rock Park, and in February the pre-meds lit up Seifert Gymnasium with floor lamps and hung traditional red and white streamers to stage their annual on-compus dance.

The Parliamentarians

In the years prior to the war, the fortune of Santa Clara's debating tradition was vested in two organizations, the House of Philhistorians for sophomores and the Senate for upperclassmen.

However, the war made it increasing- ly evident that it was no longer possible to continue both debating societies. Accordingly, the two groups were merged into a single unit called the Parliamentarians. The new group led by permanent chairman, Martin Whelan, has made noble efforts during the war to carry on the traditions of Santa Clara debating. The debaters have succeeded in their two-fold purpose to give the student practical experience in the art of public speaking and to familiarize him with the rules and procedure contained in Parliamentary law.

A standout end for the frosh team in '41, Cy Smith is the leading candidate to fill the shoes of such great flankmen as Larry Stringari, Jesse Coffer and Al Beals—all of whom made football history while at Santa Clara.

A rugged character from San Fran- cisco's Balboa high, Pete Davis has proved his mettle three times since coming to Broncoville.

The first test came as a freshman in '41, when Pete virtually paralyzed op- posing line-backers with his savage blocking. His heady field generalship also contributed to the success of the frosh of that year. As a second-year man, Davis had more imposing opposition for the regular quarterback spot, among them Les Palm, a two-year letterman. But Davis showed the coaching staff that he was

Jack Hazelwood, with some experience in 1943, had suffered a sore arm even before he had a chance to demonstrate his talents. Merv McDole, a gangling 6'4" freshman, had been a promising moundsman at near-by Santa Clara high, but still showed a tendency toward wildness and erratic control. The situation in the infield was somewhat better, with all candidates boasting at least two years of prep experience.
