Christiansen, who has achieved a greater prominence for Valparaiso University by his out standing work in the athletic depart ment; who has fostered a spirit of sportsmanship and good fellowship, not only among the members of his respective teams, but likewise among all the students of this institution; who has been influential in attracting new students to our campus; to him, who has worthily deserved our esteem and gratitude, we gratefully dedicate this Record of 1932. „*.

Foreword Indiana, the state that treasures Valparaiso University, holds an out standing position in the story of the progress of our country. In the theme we have brought out certain developments which have contrib uted to her growth and honor and which have made Indiana famous. If we can impress upon your minds how highly Indiana is esteemed in her rel ative position with other states, if we can create an appreciation and love for her, and if you are urged on to do greater things because of what has been done in the past, our efforts in organizing this Record have not been in vain. ««'» General Anthony Wayne and His Troops Erecting Fort Wayne, 1794. ^Books CAdm in is tration Classes CAthletics University Life Pioneers Building Their Log Cabins on the Indiana Frontier. AUDITORIUM LIBRARY LEMBKE HALL SAGERS ADMINISTRATION Valparaiso University, founded 187}, under the capable management of Brown and Kinsey, was one of the largest educational schools in the country and became known as the poor man's Harvard. o A*1 ^MiMttMA "A man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth." The truth given utterance in this statement by Him who is Himself the Truth has been emphasized, in no unmistakable terms, by the trying and protracted period of depression through which our country is still passing. Vast fortunes have been greatly reduced; bank accounts have disappeared, as it were, over night; material pos sessions generally have lost much of their former worth and value. While many of our fellowmen have sustained heavy losses through the past three years, the young men and women who are leaving our institution as graduates this year have come into possession of a treasure which no financial crisis can ever take from them and which has fitted them better to meet any emergency which may arise in the future. A good education is one of those intangible assets which is of enduring value. We congratulate these young people upon their good fortune, and as they now leave us to go out into life, we bid them faithfully to use the talent entrusted to them in the service of God and their fellow- men, and always to remember one of the lessons which the bitter experiences of the past few years has taught us that "a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth." President •ADMINISTRATION • College of Liberal Arts RECORD F. W. KROENCKE 1932 Dean I am the College of Liberal Arts, the basic institution of higher learning. My true mission has ever been, as at the time of my birth, during the Dark Ages, to bring light to the children of men, a better day, a brighter future. I have brought light. There are my torch bearers, among a long line of them, a Luther, a Pasteur, an Agassiz, a Jane Adams. Thousands in the course of years leave my halls to spend their life in service. Of course, I am criticized and evaluated, sometimes constructively, sometimes destructively, by an Erasmus, a McConn, a Flexner. Ever and anon I adjust myself to the changing needs of society. To classic learn ing I have added modern literature and to both, science. Thus I continue to transmit spiritual goods to on-coming generations. Lovers of mankind expect much of me. I can succeed only in the measure in which graduates live my advice and think of me in their labors and their prayers. In order that the children of men may share in my benefactions ever tomorrow and thereafter—seniors, carry on! By *h(\tt(l\MsvuMx/ Music Building liliilililU Page Eighteen •ADMINISTRATION. College of Engineering RECORD HOWARD W. MOODY 1932 Dean In the College of Engineering, standard four year curricula in Chemi cal, Civil, Commercial, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering have been organized. An option in the Division of Mechanical Engineering affords the first three years of a curriculum in Aeronautical Engineering. In each of these curricula, during the junior college years, a broad founda tion is laid both in the general theory and in the practice in engineering. In the senior college years a certain measure of specialization is necessary in the divisions listed in view of the remarkable advances in engineering in recent years. Associated with the engineering divisions is that of Industrial Arts. To prepare young men for teaching industrial arts and pre-engineering sub jects in high school, four curricula have been arranged: Drafting, Machine Shop, Electrical Work, and Wood Work. These curricula have been built around basic engineering subjects. They allow opportunity for majoring along one or the other line of endeavor and include sufficient courses in Education and in the teaching of industrial arts to satisfy all requirements made for those seeking license to teach in the various states. Electrical Engineering Laboratory Page Nineteen • ADMINISTRATION • College of (Pharmacy RECORD FREDERICK V. LOFGREN 1932 Dean From its inception in 1893, our College of Pharmacy has been diligently co-operating with the leaders in this field in an endeavor to raise our stand ard among the schools of the country. Beginning with a one year course of fifty weeks giving the men engaged in the profession a slight knowledge of the science of pharmacy, we soon advanced to the two and three year courses, due to the tremendous ad vances in the fields of medicine, chemistry, and allied sciences. More re cent surveys, however, indicated that a minimum four year curriculum is indispensable. In 1930, two years prior to its general acceptance, our college adopted the four year course as the minimum for graduation, lead ing to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy. Our school, to gether with a few others, has taken this progressive stand since we believe that a cultural, as well as a scientific education, is essential to the successful career of the modern pharmacist. Recognizing the truth of the statement that pharmacy is without ques tion a business as well as a profession our college prepares young men and women to enter the business world as retail or wholesale pharmacists or in the administrative field of manufacturing pharmacy. For those sci entifically inclined, they are thoroughly equipped to enter into the realm of pharmaceutical or chemical research, either with private or govern mental institutions. ^/uA^c^ K Science Building and Medical Building AAMAAAAAAMMM Page Twenty . ADMINISTRATION • School of Law RECORD J. W. MORLAND 1932 Dean The primary purpose of the School of Law is to direct its students in preparation for the active practice of the law. The aim is not solely to give information nor is it solely to supply mental training. Discipline in the methods of legal reasoning and analysis are considered of great im portance; but this is supplemented by much practical information, and by training in the operative functions. The student is acquainted with the ideals and traditions peculiar to the profession. He is given training and practice in drawing legal papers. Courses are offered in pleading and trial practice. A practice court is maintained wherein the student must take all the steps required in the trial of a case. The aid throughout is to train students in habits of legal reasoning and to assist the student in the acquisition of knowledge of a substantial part of the law which he is to practice. The instruction is not local in scope, but is designed to prepare students for the practice of law in any state. Thus a sane and practical balance between the •Hi ory and practice are sought and legislative enact ments and societal influences are not neglected. Yet the judicial process through which law takes its final form must necessarily remain the central problem of the School of Law. Arts-Law Building liiiiii Page Twenty-one ADMINISTRATION- ^Dean of Students H. H. KUMNICK Commencement exercises will soon ring down the curtain on another school year. For most students college means not only preparation for life, but life itself. Like others they have felt, in some form or other, the depression of the past year; they have experienced disappointment and pleasure, failure and success, and last but not least, the abounding •grace of our merciful Father in heaven. Student life is not a sheltered life, as the man off the campus loves to call it. Senior and junior, sophomore and freshman must go forth each day to face the stern realities and perplexities which life has in store for him. Life is life, and religion is religion, on or off the campus.
