to the rank of Domestic Pre- late with the title of Monsignor by Pope Paul V1 on January 10 1965, said -in assessing the. past year: ‘We have had a suc- . jcessful year, but we must keep moving ahead with the times. I mentioned it last year, and it, is still the case, that there is some

mission will be implemented at

an early date. We cannot wait re long - we expect 1,200 student on the campus by 1972 and we must plan for that number now.” -Rev._Dr. Owen Sharkey, who

In addition to teaching, Fry] McGuigan was active in‘athle- | tics and coached basketball‘ and football at SDU for 25 years.

New courses have sis been added to the SDU curriculum this year in the,fields of biology chemistry, French and the. so- cial studies,

In addition to the regular scho- larships .as outlined in the uni- versity calendar; the Catholic Girls’ Scholarship Association granted 52 scholarships to girls last fall, while SDU itself grant- ed 21 scholarships and 31. bur- ses to other students.

A further increase in the num- ber of students continuing on to post-graduate work was re- vealed by the Dean of Studies,
