PURPUREUS LATE QUI SPLENDEAT UNUS ET ALTER ADSUITUR PANNUS . . . -Horati Epistola ad Pisones

The Purple Patcher would like to pay a just tribute to Rev. I. Gerard Mears, S. I., Who for many years guided its course as moderator and as artist illuminated its pages. He is too big a person to capture in so small a space -and we readily admit We knew him not enough. Some of us may have seen him on a high scaffolding pa- tiently letting Tota pulchra est Maria With its plainchant notation glorify the choir arch in the Lady Chapelg but this was only one area of his concern-if the dearest. His career was full and priestlyg his life at Holy Cross richly eloquent and Widely in- fluential. It remains our Wonder, even from afar, how he could discourse so feelingly of Giotto, Raphael, and Michelangelo - he knew them as friends - While he remained so sted- fastly a familiar of pain. May he rest in peace. --JAMES FREEINIAN
