    55th Year, No. 19 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY, WASHINGTON, D.C. Friday, February 28, 1975 Corp. to Pay Rent; Gives Up Autonomy by Jim Colaprico Students of Georgetown, Inc. has agreed to pay rent to the University for the space it uses in Healy Basement and to surrender a certain amount of its authority over the extention of its services in an effort to end the legal controversies regarding its relationship to the university. Besides the payment of rent, an evaluating committee will be set up to determine whether the corp's lease should be renewed each year. Also, any new programs that the corp wishes to institute must first be studied by Off-Campus Affairs Dean William Scheurman. If disagreement develops between Scheurman and the corp, the evaluating team will be the final arbitor. The recommendations are subject to the approval of University President Rev. R. J. Henle, SJ. "Our main goal was to draw a and the administration, is a vice president of the corp, said. distinction between the corp as a surrendering of a certain amount "In a limited sense, we have separate entity in itself and the of corp autonomy, student gov· traded off a small portion of our University Corporation as a emment leaders expressed the view independence, but I think that we _whole," Student Development that it was "a necessary thing," are getting the better edge out of Vice President Dr. Patricia Rue- "We have to recognize that any the deal," incoming SG President ckel said.

    Welcome to Saint Joseph’s University and to Barbelin Hall* Named for founder and first president, Felix J. Barbelin, S.J. (b. France 1808-69) Dedicated November 13, 1927 Architect, Francis Ferdinand Durang Builder, John McShain, ’22 By Carmen R. Croce ’71 When Saint Joseph’s College decided to separate from St. Joseph’s Prep in 1922 and to establish a new campus, it chose a site on the western edge of the City of Philadelphia, high above its historic center. By November 1927, in its 76th year, Saint Joseph’s achieved its longed-for goal of a Collegiate Gothic college on a hill with room to grow. After three moves in its brief history, the soaring 150-foot-high Barbelin Tower, reputed to mark the highest point in the city, served as a most distinguished exclamation point to the message that Saint Joseph’s had finally arrived. In its first seventy-five years, Saint Joseph’s built and developed two other sites that included parish churches, and secondary and primary schools, a model typical of Jesuit educational institutions that sought to form its students from adolescence to adulthood and to benefit from a reliable income stream to underwrite tuition-free education. Thus, the new City Avenue campus was a significant departure from that traditional model and a leap of faith for Saint Joseph’s, absent the reliable financial support of a parish church and the reliable enrollment feed of an on-site secondary school. This reckoning with the realities of higher education in twentieth- century America also served to strengthen the urban mission strategy of the Jesuits, for as the city grew and expanded its borders outside the city center, so, too, did Saint Joseph’s, ever more prepared to bring Jesuit education to bear on the urban environment.
