The general objective of the College for Men is the formation of the complete man; specifically, the de- velopment of the intellectual and moral virtues which secure the foundation of a happy personal life and responsible citi- zenship. Philosophy, Science and the Arts are integrated into a harmonious whole which offers the student the heritage of the past and the achievement of the present as incentives and guides for the future. The College for Men is owned and operated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego under the lead- t'rship of Bishop Charles F. Ruddy, S.T.D., Ph.D., LL.D., Bishop of San Diego and founder of the University. Though a Catholic institution, the College welcomes students of all religions. Theology courses are required of Catholic students only. The present ratio of Catholic to non-Catholic students is 3 to 1. ' The College faculty consists of both priests and laymen. They are well-qualified men and able teachers, men dedicated to the principles of Christian education and highPr learning. • •

The chapel is of the same Spanish Renaissance archi- tecture as all the other campus buildings. The tower is 140 feet high, topped by a large golden cross. For the students' convenience, Mass is offered daily in the Immaculata at noon. The College chaplain is available during the school day for confession or spiritual direction. • ' •The Library of the College for Men is a magnificent three-story building that has a capacity of 250,000 volumes.
