Title:: Duquesne University

Collection:: Economics Books

in 1911 that the school made its biggest stride forward. In March of that year, Holy Ghost College became Duquesne University, with the legal right to open all the professional courses implied in that title. The Law School began to function in the George building in the following September, with Judge Joseph M. Swearingen in the position of dean. In 1913 were opened the School of Speech Arts, under Dr. Clinton E. Lloyd, and the School of Accounts, Finance and Commerce, under Dr. William H. Walker. These three deans have continued to the present day in charge of their respective schools, which are solidly organized and con- ducted with conspicuous success. The School of Social Service was opened in 1916, under the presidency of the Rev. J. A. Dewe, Lit. D., but dis- continued when the Students’ Army Training Corps was established in 1918; its work is now carried on by other agencies under the auspices of the school. The past year saw the University’s first entrance into the medical field, in the establishment of the School of Pharmacy, with Dr. Hugh C. Muldoon as dean, and the opening of the Graduate School, under the leadership of the Rev. J. F. Carroll, C. S. Sp., S. T. D. The School of Music, headed by Professor Joseph A. Rauterkus, is now in its second year. The College of Arts offers courses leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Letters, Bachelor of Education and Bachelor of Philosophy. Among its graduates are numbered about half of the priests of the Pittsburgh diocese, and many of its professional men. By means of night courses, Saturday classes and Summer sessions, it has in the last decade opened the way to hundreds who would otherwise have been debarred from opportunities of higher education, and notably to many Sisters of the various teaching com- munities. The College enrolled 369 students in 1926-27. The College of Science offers a combined science and arts course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science. It has given pre-medical and pre-dental preparation to a large number who afterwards matriculated successfully in various medical and dental schools. The present enrollment is 56. The School of Pharmacy is adequately staffed and thoroughly equipped. It offers three and four year courses.
