articl e,

written on enhanced

the appointment of Dr. Edward V. Cardinal, C. S. V., Ph. D., was written by Dr. J ohn T . E llis, P h. D ., who was h ead of the H istory De pa r tment a t th e Coll ege seve r a l years ago. At present , Dr. Ellis is an I ns tructo r at St. Mary's College, Wiona, Minn ., but intends to r eturn t o the Catholic University at Washin gton, D. C ., next fall. Dr. Ellis is a graduate of St. Viator, having r eceived his degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1928. Upon leaving St. Viator, he continued his studies a t Catholic u., from which h e rece iveu hlS Doctor's aegr ee in Philosophy. Following that, he took up hi s t eaching duties in History. and is s t ill e n gaged in that work. It was during hi s years spen t at Viator, th at a great friendsh ip s prung up between himse lf and Dr. Cardinal. Both men have been r ecognized as two of the finest in structors in Hi s tory ever to appea r on the faculty of th e College. R ecent months have witnessed the appointm en t of a large number of new executives to the p r esidencies of some of our leading Am ercian co lleges and universiti es. But none will carry for the r eaders o f The VIATORI AN more personal in ter es t than the appointment of the Very Rev. Edward v. Cardinal, c. s. v., Ph. D ., as Presi d e nt of St. Viator College. A brief tim e ago Harvard, th e mother of Ame ri can coll eges, selected a chemis t to direct h er aifairs through thi s stormy pe riod; Princeton followed shor Uy with the choice of a polir.ical scie ntist, soon Loyola with a historian, and then Illinois with an engin eer. In all instances the choice was mad e from amongs t the faculties of these insti tutions. St. Viato r finds itself in line with c urrent practice in the selection of ils professor of history to f ill th e post of president. The n ew Presi d e nt of St. Viator is not a stranger to th e r ead er of this paper. S ince the time when he entered the \...Ollege as a fr eshman in 1916, Dr. Cardinal h as been associated intermi t t en tly with its s tude nt body and its faculty . Ev en though St. Via tor is a small college its problems a r e s im ilar to those of large r institut10ns . Th e p r eservation of academic standar ds and ex cellence, the mai n tenance of finan cial security, and tne orien tation and st r en gthening of curricula and equipmen t , these and many othe r prob lem s are ge rmane to every colAnd to those com lege executive. mon problems anoth e r m us t be added in t h e case of insti tuti ons like St. Viator Co ll ege; th e cheri sh ing of the ri ch trad ition of cultural and m o ral values given to it as a r ep r esentalive of the Catholi c C hurch in th e r ealm o f higher ed u cation. Measured by the exac ting s tandard s d e mand ed o f those who g uide these vital issues, St. Viator College may well co n g ratulate itse lf upon the choi ce of its new Presi d ent; it can look fo rth into th e years lmme<lia t e ly ah ead with a serene conf idence tha t at its h e lm the r e is a man wann ed by th e fir e of acad e mi c attainmen t in his own right, o n e already m el1 owed and experlen ced in the ri go r o us d e mands or admini s trati ve office, and on e who, r ear ed In th e circle or a r e li gious order of the Ch urch, and h o lding to the bes t of its traditions, will sateguard and expedite the high r e sponslbili ty which the presidency of a Catholic Colle ge impose s upon him. At both th e Catholic University of Ameri ca and the University of lllinols, Dr. Cardinal c ame in cont act with so m e of th e fin es t minds in the fien.l. of Amert can his tori cal scholars hip , a lraining whi ch was

study s p ent in the chief archives centers of Europe. Hi s pre paration for both the Master's and the Doctor's degrees gave to him an insight into the keen c r eative valu es of productive scholarship, the s pirit o: which h e may w ell be expected to instil into th e faculty over which he now presides. H is tenu r e of office of Dean of the College for two years and Vi ce-President fo r one, was distinguished by the ener gy with which he direc ted those posts, inaugurating the practice of month ly facutly m ee tings, orgartizing the faculty into committees, and conducting a numbe r of valuable surveys and tesLs which yie ld ed much profilable information with which m e mbers of the faculty were aided in judgin g studen t ability. The construe tive work accomp lis hed in these pos itions augurs we ll fo r the manner in which Dr. Cardinal wi ll meet the duties of his new off ice. Those inter es ted in St. Viato r Co llege know of his d evotion to the id e al of academic standing and can prophesy for the man whom he selects as D ean the fullest cooperati•Jn in that line of endeavo r . Qualities of leader ship such as those displayed by Dr. Cardinal as Dean wi ll find ready p r actice in the Presidency ; the problems of co ll ege administ r a l io n are not n ew to him, h e ha s shown that he und e rstands them and can d epatch them with cr edit. Finally the new P r esid en t 's selection by the Superior-Gene ral of hi s religious Community, with the hearty approbation of his Provincia!, is a testimony of the high regard in which th e r eligious s uperiors of Dr. Ca r dinal bo ld him. During the last two y ears as R e ligious Directo r of th e Stud ent Brothers in resi d e n ce at the Co ll ege he has exhibited in a high d egree th e qualities requ isite for that important trust. H is own personal li fe as a r eligiou s gives ev idence of the devotion t o r e ligious duty , th e consec rat ion of purpose and labo r , which w ill rejoi ce t hose who are intent that St. Viator Coll ege remains in every phase of its manifold activities a genuinely Catholi c insti tution.
