When, therefore, anyone taketh the name of Abbot, he should govern his disciples by a twofold leaching, namely, he should show them all that is good and holy by his deeds, more than by his words; explain the commandments of God ... by words . . . show the divine precepts ... by his works . . . From the Holy Rule of St. Benedict. Abbot Lawrence has been not only a superior in the monastery, but also a father. He has shown the severity of the master and the loving affection of the father. Abbot Lawrence adjusts himself to everyone— to one by gentleness of speech, to another by re- proofs, and to still another by entreaties. Abbot Lawrence was born in 1901 in La Salle. He attended St. Patrick’s parochial school, the Vin- centian’s minor seminary. Cape Girardeau, Mo., St. Bede College, and the University of Notre Dame. Abbot Lawrence professed his solemn vows in July 1926, and was ordained to the priesthood in December, 1928. He served as instructor in physics and pro- curator at Spalding Institute from 1933 until 1941 when he was appointed prior of Spalding. On April 10, 1942, he was elected third abbot of St. Bede and was blessed on June 29, 1942. Abbot Lawrence is the voungest abbot in the American Cassinese congrega- tion. eleven

Administration The office was a consolation to all of us, many times, and for many reasons. From the first day of school, to the final days, it was the busy center of all activities. Those who had charge of the office, had a difficult task, for, with the highest enrollment that St. Bede has ever had in the Academy and College, it kept them busy most of the time. Father Norbert had, in general, the position of handling all matters concerning the school. Many times, he would be seen walking the grounds, with the familiar cigar in his mouth, seeing that everything was in order. Father Victor had the twofold job of Prefect of Discipline and Bursar. He also gave us our money to go home if we had some in our account. Many students were often seen walking into the office to pay Father Victor for the traditional $5.00 for smok- ing in the building. Next on the office staff was Father Kenneth, the director of studies. He helped us select the studies to which we were best adapted, while at the same time he gave us a little friendly advice on the subjects which we were going to take. He recorded our marks in the permanent records at the six-weeks, and then gave us the “sad” news, which meant bad marks, or the “good” news, which would mean fine grades. Father Nicholas, who was the registrar, we will not forget, for he was the one who would sit up at night after the marks were in, make them out, and send them to our parents. He would also help Father Kenneth in the duties of director of studies. He was one of the quiet priests out at St. Bede, but if one really knew him, he would like him.
