DEGREE ASKED
TO ENTER 6. u.
LAW SCHOOL


degree for admission to the
Georgetown Law School this fall
and creation of a new Division
of Business and Public Admins
tration in the School of Foreign
Service were important measures
taken by Georgetown University
recently in planning for the
1936-37 academic year.
DR.. Arthur A. O'Leary, S. j.,
president of the university, ap'
proved these two changes in &C
cordance with GeorgetoWn'S con-
slant efforts to advance the
standards of education in all It's
departments. Another move this
year is toward strengthening the
graduate departments of the uni
versity, particularly that OF the
College of Arts and Sciences.
Registration is in progress at
GEORGETOWN for freshmen in the
college. medical, dental, law and
foreign service schools, all OF
which open during September
While figures were not obtain
able since students are admitted
I'D to the start of classes, the
various registrars reported the
number of applications as highly
satisfactory.
New Educators Added
Two of the foremost Jesuit edu'
Gators in the country, Rev. Alloys
ius Joseph Hogan, formerly presi
dent of Fordham University, New
York. and Rev. j. Wilfrld Par
sons, former editor-in-chief OF
America, were appointed this
summer to the faculty of the
Graduate School of the college
DR.. Hogan is its new dean, while
DR.. Parsons will be professor OF
European history and also will de-
vote much of his time to lecturlng
and writing in the fields of Sociol'
ogy and economics.
Other new professors added to
the Arts and Science faculty for
the 1936-37 term include Rev.
Daniel O'Connell McFadden, S. j.,
assigned to classical languages;
Rev. Arthur A. Commit, S. j., lee
turer in biology, and Rev. Leo G..
Monaghan, S. j., instructor in Eng
lish literature.
DR.. Hogan has had wide expe'
rience in research methods at
Cambridge University, England,
and will greatly strengthen the
graduate faculty in this special
field. His years of experience as
president of Fordham University
and much practical value to his
academic equipment and thus his
services to Georgetown will be
both administrative and academic.
Few Better Known
Few Catholic writer's and edu'
Gators are better known than DR..
Parsons, whose editorship Of the
important review, America,
placed him prominently in the
front rank of Catholic publiciStS
and interpreters of political and
sociological theories. 1t is ex'
pected he will be heard frequently
in Washington forums this winter.
By discontinuing its two-year
college rule for admission to the
law school and requiring a college
degree, Georgetown has placed
it's law department in the same
high class as those at Harvard,
Yale, Northwestern, Pittsburgh,
California and the University OF
Pennsylvania.
No new student seeking en-
trance this fall can qualify with
out such a degree. Some law
schools of Grade A rank admit
students with three years of col.
lege study to six year combiaed
course in arts and law. George
town has no such combination
course.
Students, however, who had en-
rolled for the summer session of
the law school, will be admitted
under the standards that prevailed
heretofore. The summer session
was attended by more than 100
students and the second term
classes will end shortly.
A Separate Unit
Interest centerS largely in the
114UIOOuCV1O1k VI 4l1OD JCd1
course in the new division of busi.
ness and public administration
at the School of Foreign Service.
This new division, maintained as
a separate unit of the school, is
attracting many students who de.
sire to enter upon public careers,
as well as those interested in the
peculiar relations existing be-
tween government and business.
The classes start September 18.
AS the classes are intended pri.
marily for mature students, the
normal minimum age requirement
for entry will be 20 years, or two
years of previous college work.
The business and public admin
istration courses will be conducted
in addition to the regular full.
time curriculum in foreign service,
where the emphasis remains on
international relations and polit-
