The report for the year 1940-41 is organized under the following categories: Registration and Student Personnel, Faculty, Buildings and Equipment, Faculty Activities, Catholic Action, and Student Publication. The report for the second year added Changes in Faculty, Contacts with Accrediting Agencies, Library and Scholarship Gifts, and Equipment and Campus. In 1946, Sister Dorothy Browne, O.P., became the dean, and she entitled her reports, "To the Board of Trustees."
