JOHN WALSHE The New Faculty Building Georf-'e E. Devine 23. ri 7 O some educational institutions a new building is a mere matter of course. Progress in material appoint- ments,--in buildings, in scientific equipments, in libra- ries, in athletic amphitheatres, in campus extension and im- proveinent, and so on through all the appurtenances of col- lege life,-is a mere matter of regular routine. Witli St. Ignatius College it is different. Though the oldest institu- tion of higher learning in San Francisco, with a proud reo- ord of achievement in the moral and intellectual order, she is poor in the material things of this earth, and like the poor child who has received what to the children of the rich would be an insignificant toy, she rejoices in comparatively small things and perhaps, with a little more enthusiasm than her more fortunate sisters in the college world. Content to keep the even tenor of her way she is happy even in the thought of her continued existence during years of trial and sacrifice and there is something of rapture in the happiness which she experiences in the slightest indication of material growth and expansion. 'l'o her the new Faculty Building means more than mere growthg it marks a distinct epoch in her history, and it opens vistas of future success that are as encouraging as they are full of golden promises. Conscious ever that the building does not make the college, she is not unmindful of the fact that the work of education is assisted by outward respectability and that it is, of its nature, worthy of being carried on in classic halls and in an atmosphere of architectural beauty and attractiveness. That the new Faculty Building is a very gem of architect- ure no one who has seen it will deny. It resembles a long stretch of the brown-fronted dwellings on Fifth Avenue, New York, or recalls an entire block of the Corso in Rome, with its extending balconies and broad windows and evi- NEW FACULTY BUILDING 9 dences of solidity. To describe it is difficult., to describe it alone without reference to its magnificent setting,4t.hc Church of St. lgnatius, which is an accomplished reality and the College which is a future possibility,-would be to give but an incomplete picture of the old historic institution that began amid the sand hills of what is now Market Street and that is destined to adorn lgnatian Heights. The Faculty Building is only a part of an interesting group of buildings, that are or are to be, and though an important part,-it seems to baffle description. There it is, one might say, Mhehold it in its severe monastic simplicity, admire it as a generous gift to St. Ignatius Church and College, recognize in it an admirable and faithful exemplification of the archi- tecture of the Italian Renaissance, but do not expect an elab- orate description of what is, in itself, remarkable for noth- ing inore than its unobtruding grandeur and humble use- fulness. We must, therefore, View the entire institution to niider- stand the significance of this particular part and to view it to advantage we shall take our stand on one of the city 's many hills. Buena Vista, as it is appropriately called, rises in wooded grandeur in the very heart of the city. From its summit we may command a wonderful panoramic view. lie- ginning at the southeast we can follow the almost uninter- rupted line of the bay shore. The World argosies, the grey ships of war, the hurrying ferryboats with their long white wake of seething foam, out beyond the smoking chimneys of industry and the rugged tops of the sturdy warehouses whence the treasures of fruitful California are sent forth to the world,-all these unite to give one an impression of tht- business-like spirit of the great metropolis of the Wfest. Tn front of us lies the main thoroughfare of the city, with tiny specks of mortals hurrying to and fro on pleasure or on business. Beyond this scene of bustling activity we gaze with pride upon the tower of the Ferry Building. which 1Q THE IGNATIAN speaks with mute eloquence the familiar words: HSan Fran, cisco Welcomes the World . Turning towards the north we see in quick succession, the towering office buildings, the white marble columns and the glittering dome of the City Hall, and the acropolis-like structures on the north western hills and then facing to- wards the golden portals of the western sea we behold an object that arrests our attention and commands our rever- ential homage. There is nothing like it in the city, nothing like it, we are tempted to say, in the world! From the sum- mit of lgnatian Heights, far above the city ol' St. Francis rise the two crossed towers of St. Ignatius Church. lf it be true, as Stevenson says, that mankind was never so happily inspired as when it made a cathedral , it seems equally true that in the whole wonderful course of San Francisco history, there never was a happier inspiration than that to which we owe this magnificent Church of St. lgnatius in its present situation. Many have been the tributes paid to its conspicuous beau- ty. We shall quote the following from the pen of Rev. D. J. Kavanagh, S. J.: When the ocean-Voyager approaches San Francisco from North or South or distant Orient the first object to attract his attention is an immense structure that crowns the Western hills of the city and lifts two massive towers to- wards the sky, like two arms outstretched in suppilant prayer. When the crosses of these towers and of the dome. which rises to almost equal height, are illuminated by elec- tric lights, the object that first greets the Voyager and bids him welcome to the city of St. Francis, is visible by night as well as by day. And if by day, the immense pile, glittering in the sun, is suggestive of noble thoughts, if it reminds the visitor that the people of San Francisco recognize the need they have of God-the effect by night is even more inspir- ing, the crosses stand out gloriously in the darkness and while serving as a beacon to guide the mariner through the NEW FACULTY BUILDING 11 Golden Gate, they symbolize another guidance through an- other Golden Gate. On the other side, from nearly every portion of San Francisco and from the transbay cities, thc building presents an equally majestic appearance. Sometimes it is seen through clusters of trees, a stately outline in the distanceg at other times, like the tall cliff of which Goldsmith speaks, it rises above the rolling fog and stands alone in its sunlit. gloryg again, when viewed from the Oakland side of the bay, it takes the topmost position in the imposing skyline of the city, lifting its graceful dome a11d prayerful towers out of the tangled and rugged mass of the downtown skyscrapers. And thus while its monarch-like magnificence proclaims the rapid growth and heralds the future glory ol' the new and greater San Francisco, its heavenward-pfliliting spires ap- peal, with mute but forcible eloquence, to all men of every creed and of every condition in life to join hearts and hands and to work together for the realization of a better and in consequence a more enduring San Francisco. 'tSt. lgnatius f'hurch . That is not the complete name of the old institution. lt was St. Ignatius t'hurch and Col- lege that was of twin birth with the city of San Francisco, it was St. Ignatius Church and College that was blotted out of existence by the fire of 1906. and because the new Faculty Building is a complement of the Church and a prophetic promise of the College. it has aroused unsual enthusiasm and occasioned much joy among the friends of the lnstitution. Standing before it we may notice at once the contrast be- tween the Church and the new building. The latter has not the same splendor, the same ornate style thc flll11l'Cll. Xor would lavish ornamentation become the home of men who lead a life of renunciation. They themselves have spared no expense in building their wonderful church. they will sparc no expense in building their College, when the occasion is at handg but on their own home they desired none of thc 12 THE IGNATIAN architectural embellishments that are so conspicuously p1'6V- alent on the Church. And yet, the architect, under the direction of the donor and with the desire of the Fathers in mind has succeeded in constructing a home that is majestic in its simplicity and agreeable in its severity. Following the general style of the Italian Renaissance he has very artistically and with great delicacy adorned the front of the building in a manner restful to the eye. The main entrance surmounted by a cross and two shapely vases, is a little masterpiece of chaste grandeur. On the other side there is a portico running par- allel with the main wing enclosed by arched windows set gracefully between pilasters of Doric suggestion. lt is part of the main structure, a one-storied projection, serving the purpose, as we shall see on entering, of offices and recep- tion rooms. Above this portico and set in from it. the main building of two additional stories rises in unadorned sever-- ity. At either end there is a two-storied wing running south, toward Fulton Street, thus forming an incomplete quadrangle. The arrangement is admirable. The morning sun will flood the eastern side of both wings. and in the afternoon the western side of the wings will be bathed in its warm rays, while the front of the house will be assured of the golden flood of light throughout the day. The build- ing is so tinted that its color scheme harmonizes with that of the Church, and further strengthens the suggestion that the two are but units of a greater whole. As we enter we find ourselves in a spacious vestibule and we pause to read the inscription above the door that leads into the cloister: Ad Majorem Dei Gloriamn,--To the Greater Glory of God. lt is gracefully inscribed in letters of gold on a white marble plaque and tells the visitor the pur- pose of the building and of the lives of the men who are to make it their home. Gods glory is sought by all who serve and reverence their Maker. Gods glory is proclaimed by all His cpm, NEW FAUULTY BUILDING 13 tures. The pines wave their tops in the breeze to do Ilim reverence, the birds that singing up to heavens gates as- cend bear on their wings and in their notes His praise. Man has power to make the universal hymn of nature voeal. He does so by giving glory to God. This is his destiny here and hereafter. St. lgnatius, the founder of the Jesuit Or- der, a soldier of chivalrous Spain, introduced into the ser- vice of God some of his ideals of military service and among them was what we might call a desire for distinguished ser- vice. Not satisfied with seeking the glory of God, he was determined to seek ever for His greater glory and for this reason he adopted the motto: ttAd Majorem Dei Gloriamn. lt is not a boast of what he or his followers have doHG'4 if ig only a high ideal which they set before themselves as an in- spirational incentive to greater labor and more enthusi- astic resolve. Appropriately then is this motto inscribed in the new Faculty Building entrance. On either side of us are corridors. leading to the parlors. nine in all, where part of the Jesuits work is carried ou. Passing on to our left we reach a spacious room. on the ground floor of the West wing. lt is to serve as the Workixrr quarters and distributing center of the Francesca Relief Society. This Society composed of ladies who devote some time each week to sewing for the poor and whose charity cheers thousands of children annually. has become part of the Jesuit lnstitution. Tts honorary President, and for years its active President, Mrs. lierthe L. Weleli. to whom the College is indebted for the building itself, thought it befit- ting, and befitting it most surely is, that the ladies who bore with the inconveniences of the home on Hayes Street should enjoy the advantages of more commodious quarters in the new residence. We have now visited that portion of the building which is outside the eloister. The parlors and the Francesca room will be frequently visited by men and women even after the building has been occupied by the Fathersg but only on rare 14 THE IGNATIAN occasions will 1nen and never Will women be permitted to enter the cloister. ln this little description, however, we in- vite all to accompany us even into the cloister precincts. Here, in the same western Wing, is the chapel tastefully tinted in buff and not without its ornamental walls and ceiling. The light pours in golden rays through the amber windows and reveals a perfect replica of an Italian Renaise sauce chapel, even to the details of the red-tile floor and of the fretted ceiling. Tn this devotional little chapel the Fathers will assemble for their Community prayers and ill the Tabernacle will repose the Divine Master of the house as an inspiration to those who dwell under the same roof. As we leave the chapel we look down a long corridor to- wards the East. The high wall which extends for more than one hundred feet in length is now hare hut soon will he cov- ered with specially made hook cases which while serving the purposes of a temporary lihrary will relieve the mono- tony of th-e long White wall. Behind this Wall is the kitchen fully equipped for its practical purposes and conveniently located with storerooms in one side and pantry in the other. Beyond the kitchen is the spacious room, with a row of large windows on the north side, that assure an abundance of light and contrihute to the cheerful atmosphere of what, in a religious house, is regard- ed as hoth sacred and solemn, the community Refectorv' The ground floor of the East wing is devoted to living rooms for the Brothers. There too is a large guest room for distinguished visitors. The Rector of the College and the Treasurer have their office and living room, one room serves the double purpose, on the ground floor on either side of this wing. The second floor may he hest descrihed as a hloek I . The corridor runs through a long stretch of rooms on either side in the main huilding and on one side of the wings. Thr- lH1'2'P1' rooms on the South are 1-1 hy 12 feet, the smaller rooms on the North are 12 by 12 feet. One large Window fur- NEW FACULTY BUILDING 15 nishcs light and air. There is a goodly sized closet built into the wall, a basin with running water, and two electric light fixtures, one stationary in the center of the ceiling, the other movable so that it may be accommodated to the vary- ing positions of the occupant 's desk. When these rooms are occupied there will be in each a desk, two chairs, a bookcase, a kneeling bench and a bed. The floor will be bare except for a sinall rug at the bed side, the walls bare, except for il crucifix and one or two small holy pictures. lt is not definitely known at this writing, when the Fathers will occupy the IIQNV building, but it is certain that they will move in as soon as it is ready. There will be no special ceremonies connected with this change of residence, nor will it be permitted to interfere in any way with the regular college work as it is now being conducted on Hayes Streetg but there will be in the hearts of all those who are interested in the progress of St. Ignatius Church and Col- lege a desire that this change of residence for the Faculty will be followed in the near future by a change of location for the College. Wliat a glorious sight will it be when three innnense buildings crown lgnatian Heights, the College rising in glory to rival the majestic church. and the now completed Faculty Building nestles in between the Monument of Religion and the Monument of Learning.

Shall it iii the light of future analysis appear to all the world that the American people, blinded by an egotistic conception of their greatness, rushed headlong and unseeing into the very midst of dangers that were plainly visible to the normal eye of rea- son? Shall it some day be told how the American eagle was lulled into a fanciful and groundless security by the sweet music of its own laudations, how it was rendered apathetic and indifferent to danger in the consciousness of its power, on the adulations of its inferiors,-it in the midst of its lazy improvident dreaniings was victimized by the danger it was too proud to prepare against,-the practiced-sharpened and murderous talons of an eagle that flew from the East! And yt hat cause-what reason is there at the present time tor the issuance of such a warning to America? Trouble in the nature of armed conflict, between this nation and Japan has ever been a topic of at least academic interest. Vol- umes have been written on it by the more eminent strategists ot' both countries. ln the Pacific states however, and par- ticularly in California, the question has been far more than simply one ot' academic interest. Due to the inaetment of such measures as the Alien-land law for the purpose of alliording to American citizens their just proportion of pro- tection, feeling has sometimes run high both in Japan gud along our own Pacific slope.

Yap-he it. known, is one of the tfaroliiie lslands situ- ated some eight oi' nine hundred nnles from the Philippines. These islands, together with all the other ol' Gerntany Paci- l'ie possessions no1'th of the equator, were included in the mandate confei'i'ed on Japan hy the Suprenie Vouncil of thf lieawu- of Nations as her just and rightful portion ot the spoils ot the war. The only island wherein Japan's exclus- ive control is odious and in conflict with the recognized rights oi' the llnited States is the Isle of Yap. For Yap. small and insignificant as it appears to lie, is the very heart of all calile communication lletween America and the Far East. The arteries ot news front two different worlds run tlirougli the very heart of this island. Prior to the war, when G9Fll12lllj controlled the cl2il'0llilL' group, the rights of the United States to the supervision and control of her national cahle interests were recognized hy all the nations of the world. Now. armed with the niandate of the League of Nations, Japan denies any right of America in Yap, and firmly contends that. under the terms of the mandate her' control is exclusive. The result of Japan 's de- termined Stand in the matter has heen the launching of num- erous official messages from NVashington to the various nieniliers of the League Vouncil and to Japan herself. The llnited States of Anieriea, through the lips of her St'Cl'L'till'j' of State, t'hai'les Evans Hughes, has voiced its official pro- test. The teuoi' of the notes is this: First: Since the rights of Japan in Yap are in conflict with the prior rights of the lluited States in the same island. Japan can ohtain no exclusive control over the said island without the consent ol' the Governnient ot the United States. Second: At no time in any negotiations has the United States Hoverinnent ceded to Japan its rights in the island of Yap. Third: The Supreme Council in graiiting to Japan a THE 191111115 Ol THE EAST 21 mandate hy reason of the terms of which Japan could have exelusive control over Yap. did so ahsolutellv without the knowledge, consent or authority of the Government of tln- llnited States of America. Fourth: The llnited States tlovernment therefore, in view of the fact that at no time has it ceded its rights in Yap to the Government of Japan, and in view ol' the fact that the Suprelne Council conferred the mandate upon Japan with-- out the consent or authority of the Government of the l'nited States-wishes to assert to all the world that it still has the same rights in the island of Yap which it had prior to the granting of the League mandate to Japan. That hriefly is the declaration of rights hy which Amer- ica has protested to the world the injustice of the Japanese claims. Already France, Italy and Great llritain have evi- denced their support of the llnited States in the controversy. Japan alone remains silent. Wlizit will he her answer when it is finally given to the nations? She has only two courses open to her pursuit. One is an admission of Ameriea's rights in Yap, involving as it does the humiliation of a with- drawal from the attitude which she has so determinedly as- sumed. The other is the answer which in all prohahilitfv would he most favorahle to her arrogant, military caste, the answer which would amount to a plain, hlunt announcement to all the world that henceforth the Far East and its adja- cent. side of the Pacific is exclusively the Dominion of the land of the Mikadosl Of the two courses the first is more in conformity with the dictates of unimpassioned judgment. The second is more in harmony with the militant spirit of a Prussianized Japan. To choose the first course is a ehoiee unshadowed by the hint of disastrous complications. A se- lection of the second might emlmroil Japan in a war with a mighty white coalition. Japan knows all these things. lim still-1Japan remains silent. The suggestions of possible eonfliet with Japan are to some in the light of present events, due to the indulgence gg TUE IGNATIAX of timorous minds in fretful, distorted imaginings, wherein, details are exaggerated beyond all p1'opoY'1i011S to Tlltil' HCV ual iinportanee,-suggestions that are fit objects. therefore, for the ridicule of sensible Americans. Moreover, there are those in the United States today, and their number, unfor- tunately, is great, who base the safety of the nation on its geographical remoteness from the powers of the East. Fifty years ago the isolation of the American continent. was a reality. Today-due to the rapid advance of science and the relatively incredible speed and facility of maritime trans- portation,-that which at one time was isolation the reality. is now isolation the illusory niist. Let us not depend for our national safety on defenses so obsolete as territorial remote- ness. VVhait, then, according to the tenor of this article should be the attitude of America? The purpose of this essay is not an infusion into the hearts of its readers of a spirit of antag- onistic aud aggressive suspicion toward Japan. its message is this: Watchfulnessl Firmness! Preparedness! Let us stand by our rights and defend them. Let us be hopeful for the best, but let us be prepared for any emergency. Let us never permit the consciousness of our power to dim the na- tional vision in its perception of dangers that are real and may be iuuninent. Vtfatchfulness-without suspicion, Firm- ness-without arrogance! Preparednessfwithout inilitar- isin! This should be the attitude of America toward Japan.

The ordinary inhabitant never bothered his brains to see on which side the balance lay. This call of the wild had filled his ears and the glitter of gold had dazzled his eyes. There was but one exception, Seb Steffins, the man of the cool gray eyes and stubborn chin, rugged of form and the best pistol-shot among them. He had made up his mind on the first day of his advent, Gold-Bug lied if it spoke of The better 5 and yet it seemed paradoxical that it couldn't be Worse . Taeiturn on other subjects, he was eloquent on the short- comings of Gold-Bug. ln the beginning, local pride was sensitive, quite a number loudly protested their anxiety to champion its nameg some few were rash enough to make the attempt. Then Gold-Bug awoke to the fact that it was prouder of its new citizen than of its good. reputation. At least it was willing to concede him privileges that it was still shy in granting to others. Besides, it was no little dis- tinction to be considered the worst place in the world by a man whose pistol-finger was so highly respected. But if Seb Steffins found Gold-ling so bad, he was far from' being a severe moralist. The whole world was blaelt to him, what else was to be expected of Gold-ling.

When Harry Hoefler, the piano-player at the Argonaut, eloped with the widow Zander, and left his wife and three small children to fight life 's battle alone, he discoursed long and eloquently on marriage as a moek- ery. NVhen John Trueman, the cashier of the Gold-ling National Bank, absconded with the funds, he recalled to his hearers' minds his pet theory that ni one eould be trusted. NVhen Andy Jones, the postmaster, was short in l1is aeeounts. Heb showed that Government of the people, by the people and for the people was a fizzle. And when it was reported that the clergyman at Sheba Junction had repudiated an unsecured loan from a parishioner, he huddled the elergy of all times and placed into a common group and drove them through the gate that leaves all hope behind. What had soured this man was one mystery. Wlltll kept him in Gold-Bug was another. A man lineage in a mining Camp began and ended with himself. There was nothing to inquire as to that. His history began with the last plaee he came from. lt was dangerous to pry further unless by Hspeeial request. Seb had come from 'Frisco with plenty of moneyg had casually inquired about Bert Handley. a gambler. whom. he said. he had known as a boy and whom relatives in the East were desirous of communicating with: and had manifested little emotion when a deserted hut was shown him in a redwood thicket with a narrow mound a short way off. He had expected sueh an end, he said. t'Gamblers were fated to it. and it was to be by one hand or another. But it seemed as if his own hand moved instinc- tively to his pistol though he quickly suppressed the mo- tion, and turning away asked if Bert had been alone. He was answered that he left a wife and a boy of fifteellz llllf as the tragedy had taken plaee a short time after the gam- bler's arrival, and mother and son had kept to themselves, little was known about them.

The stream of life in Gold-Bug was too fast to bother itself with a bubble or two that had floated for such a short time on its bosom.

He would sit for hours silent in watching a game, but his interest was in a study of the players rather than the cards, and he strode out into the night he would sum up all in the terse sentence The Devil has the fools, but we are all in the shuffle. At other times he would sit in the moonlight by the side of the cabin. never seeming to raise his eyes from the mound over which the trees cast their shadows. His face, however, was not pleas- ant to look upon. There was no tenderness for the departed Wllat was the mystery of the grave? Yet beneath the cold cynicism of the man, there was a heart. Others were generous in wordsg he in deeds. The word of gratitude. however, must never be spoken. Gold- liug knew the condition. Mrs. O'Flaherty was the first to sin and it was well that she was a woman. Her husband had met with a painful accident. Selfs contribution had made appeals to others unnecessary and the poor woman was overcome with gratitude. t'May Hivin above an' His lilissed Mother an' all the Saints -She stopped short as she saw the working of his features.

Seb caught only a glance of a white face as he hurried into the hut from which he and everybody else save the doc- tor were rigorously excluded. VVhile the wound was being examined and dressed, they withdrew to some distance. to listen to the stage-driver's story. Black Jack single-handed had held them up. Terror of the man had paralyzed the bravest among them. With their hands in the air they were submitting to have their pockets 1-ifled when from a nearby thicket a boy emerged into the road. He was armed with a shot-gun and had been hunting. Had it been a man Black Jack would have been mo1'e cautious. Covering' the boy with his pistol yet keeping each of the others within his gaze. he ordered the boy rough- ly to throw away his gun. The boy obeyed and east its powder horn after it.

As they passed out of the room by one door. a dark form flitted i11 by an- other.

She refrained fl'0ll1 entering when she saw Seb there, and her dark clothing merging into the darkness of the hallway concealed her presence. She had no thought of eaves dropping. She would be with her boy until the nurse returned.

They did not 1ni11d tl1e open window of the boy bedroom. for there was no one there b11t the sile11t sleeper.

That was the lnessagre that went forth from Mount Vernon in the year 1788, to the struggling' patriots of Ireland. That was the word that sped across the sea from a man whose Very name is the embodiment of all things American, and that man was tleorge VVashing'ton. lint if the great WtlSl1l1lgt1J1l in that far oft time, could so forcefully assert. the identity of Ireland's cause with that of America, with what far greater stress might we of today proclaim, The struggle of Ireland for independence is the spirit of '76 transferred to our own day, Washington was not always great. Had not fortune smiled upon our American Revolution, the name of George Washington, hallowed, glorified, hlest hy one hundred mil- lions of his countrymen, might to-day lie huried in the dust. sullied with the despicable stigma of rebel. a traitor to the l-Sritish Vrown. But one thing could never he denied him. and that was his unfailing devotion to the truth, Let us test, then, the veracity of this statement of his and see if in this case at least, we may not gainsay the dictum of the tather of his country. How now, may this identity ot lreland's Cause with that oE America he showng how may we demonstrate the truth of our proposition '? The explanation lies in the appreciation of the similarity hetween the methods, the purposes, the prim-i- ples and the ideals of the Irish patriots of to-dav, and thosi. of our own leaders of 1776, the understanding of what was then and what is now. NVhen the founders of our 116111091-My decided to break TIIEX AND NOW 39 with the mother country, they did not do so blindly and in a spirit of unguided impetuosity. They had certain pur- poses in view and those purposes they most fittingly ex- pressed in the American Declaration of lndependence. Ireland also has a purpose, and Ireland also has a declara- tion of independence, wherein she has expressed her objects. and wherein she asserts her ideals. her aims and her rights with unmistakable clearness. Place then, if you will, the two declarations side by side, examine carefully each one and note their equivalency of meaning. Wliztt was the object our forefathers held before them and for which, as they solemnly asserted, they were willing to sacrifice their lives, their fortunes, and their sa- cred honor? lt was their aim to secure for themselves and for their children the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And that is the purpose that Ireland has today when she asserts her right to independence. lt is her hope to secure Ireland for the Irish, and to see that it is governed in a manner that will insure the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to all within her shores. Therefore, we see that in purpose at least, the age old struggle for human liberty has changed but little, and the aims which our forefathers had then, are nothing more than the aims that the lrish have today and now. But what were the principles upon which the American Colonists grounded their purpose? We1'e they also the same as those held by the lrish today? Let us see. Examining that immortal document wherein are inscribed the no less immortal names of Benjamin Franklin, Samuel Adams, Hen- jamin Harrison and Thomas Jefferson, we find expressed in language clear and forceful, that the basic principle of all human liberty is that truth held to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. And this is nothing more than the principle voiced by the signers of the lrish declaration, that they desire their country to be ruled in accordance with the 40 THE IGNATIAN principles of Liberty, Equality and Justice for all, which alone can secure permanence of government in the willing adhesion of the people. There are other grounds of principle, however, upon which the conditions of then and now may be compared. Examining more closely into that great document which proved to be the birth certificate of our American democra- cy, we find there asserted That all governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed . Now what was the state of mind of the American Colo- nists respecting the Revolution, when the signers of the de- claration, having enunciated this principle decided to change the government of the colonies? The historical fact is that one-third of the colonists were indifferent, one-third op- posed, and the remaining third only in favor of the Revolu- tion. Wliat is the state of popular opinion among the Irish people today respecting their claims to independence ? There is no element of indifference, there is but one-fourth op- posed and there are more than three-fourths in favor. Hence we see, that while then, the American patriots were virtually a minority, now Ireland is practically unanimous. Wliat then hinders the application of our American principles of democracy fl There are more points of resemblence between the two struggles for liberty however, than were identity of princi- ple and purpose. Against whom were the aims of the De- claration of lndependence directed, against what power were the cries of tyranny raised, at whose injustice and cru- elty were the declamations of our forefathers hurled? Against the same enemy that has drenched the plains of America and Ireland alike with the blood of hearts that heat for liberty. It is against the same enemy, powerful, avaricious, deceit- ful and cruel, that lovers of liberty, both Trish and American alike, have had to struggle. That enemy is England, the THEN AND NO W 41 same power that treated with indifference the petitions of our forefathers when they complained to the British flrown against the rank injustice with which they were treated. True, they had due cause to complain, but if America had grievances, how much greater are the ills of Suffering Ireland? Even as the colonists, she also has seen her sons transported across the seas to be tried for pretended of- fences, she also has felt the burden of a foreign power quar- tering large bodies of troops upon her, she also has seen the swarm of parasite officers sent thither by the British fll'0XVll to harass the people and to eat out their substanceg and what is more, she has seen and is daily seeing her coasts rav- aged, her towns burnt and the lives of her people destroyed. These are the ills that the colonists complained of in 1776, and these are some of the grievances suffered by Ireland to- day. No one will deny but that they are great, but multiply those ills by the sufferings of seven hundred long years and intensify those tortures in proportion to the eonsumate hatred and diabolical manner in which they were prepared and then you will have some idea of the unspeakable sul'- ferings of Ireland. Ireland! In the language of her children she is their Dark Rosaleen. in the language of her enemies she is the ti'inderella. of Nations, but in the language of justice and truth, she is the maid of sorrows, she is the Mater Dolorosa of the world! 'When the Germans marched through Irielgium leaving in their wake, ruin and destruction, when each new victory was marked by new indignities more terrible than the preceding, the world cried out in horror, and checked the mad careers ing of the war-crazed Hun. lfiut the systematic annihila- tion of the Irish people today would make Von liissing blush for shame and confess himself a mere tyro in the crucifixion of the helpless! Wlieii Cromwell and his Ironsides, left Ireland in a veri- table sea of blood, it was thought that English hatred had 43 TIIE IGNATIAN found its most infamous expression, but the activity of the Iiloyd George administration, through the instrunientality of the lilack and Tans in the Ireland of today, has given Uromwell and his Ironsides a semblance of clemency and by contrast would make the old baby killing Puritan, appear as tender and as loving as the Greatest Mother in the Worltl. England, as a human brute, stands pummelling the pros- trate form of a fair and outraged maiden and there is not chivalry enough among the nations of the earth to ery out in indignation, Stopl VVe may appreciate then that the sufferings undergone by the Irish far exceed the grievances enumerated by the colonists in 1776. There is still another link in the analogy however, which will serve to bind the fortunes of then and now. It is the golden link of similarity of leadership. Ireland has never been lacking in leaders and has always found men sell'- sacrificing beyond measure wherever the interests of their country were eeneerned. So today, Ireland has been blessed in her leaders, for never has a nation possessed men more de- voted, more zealous, and more self-sacrificing to the eause of patriotism. As America was blessed in finding a VVashington for her first president, Ireland has been likewise favored with a Padraie Pearse, who, while giving every promise of a glo- rious career, entered the category of his eountry's martyrs before reaching the full flower of achievement. As America in 1776 had a Patriek Henry who stood fear- lessly before the first Continental Congress and expressed his undying fealty to the cause of freedom, so. Ireland has had a Terrence llIcSweeny, who, from a dingy eell in far off lirixton prison, cried out to the world in a voice faint but none the less eloquent, 'tGive me liberty or give me death l As then, America had her Benjamin Franklin to appeal to France for aid, so now, I1'eland has her de Valera to seek American recognition. France answered Frankliu's plea and she has since THEN AND .YOIV 43 learned eve11 as the lion did learn from the mouse, that to assist tl1e weak Hllfl helpless is Ofltlll a very wise Zllltl benefi- cial thing.

The niine was the only sign of life on the barren hills of Nevada. Its huge ehinineys towered into the dusty air and gave forth a transparent vapor, eurling into the torrid sky. At intervals the dull thud of the ore cart could he heard to knock against the side of a gondola as it poured forth its precious ore. In the office of the Silver Bow Mining Vonipany sat the self-exalted. quiek. iraseihle Mr. Ifialdwin. He wore an angry frown on his broad face a11d puffed vehemently on the butt of a cigar.

FOURTH HIGH NELEff1'lO.YN 49 HVEN GEANCE IS MINE Enstace l'. t'ullinan. lt was a sunnner's evening' in a forest of the high Sierras, and a group of campers were gatliered about the dying fire. The various experiences of the day had been re- lated, Plans for the following day had been made. Topics for conversation were becoming scarce when I proposed the favorite after dinner diversion of every real camper,-the telling of stories. t'You tell the first one! I was urged, and so began my story. lt was in the peaceful little village of Chillon. which nestles high in a pocket of the snow-clad Alps in Switzer- land. On this sunny morn in May all the townsfolk were gathered in the public place. At the fringe of the square. bustling with activity. could be seen three distinctive youth- ful figures. Two of them were youths. just attaining the prime of their manhood, the third,-a. girl,-was a picture of rare feminine beauty. Herman Zermatt and Martin Hamel were contending' for the hand of Marie Conrte. and it was often of a SlUHlllGI'lS evening, that the simple mountainfollt would sit on their doorsteps, and idly discuss the chances of the two rivals. Most of the expressed opinions were in favor of Herman.-Herman the handsome, the genial.-fover the more serious Hamel. Even Marie herself, seemed to lean, almost imperceptibly toward the former. Today the three were going' on an expedition to the top of Mont Blanc, and as was customary. the townspeople gath- ered to View the departure. Amid cheers and cries of God- speed the ascending party set out, a11d soon left. the town far below them. As they followed the guide up the rocky moun- tainside, new peaks came into view, and yawning erevasses and dizzy precipices invited death on all sides. Now the for- bidding crags here and there husbanded patches of perpet- ual snow, and from this smileless desolation, the little public 50 TIIE IGNA TIAN square ol' t'hillon, was a tiny spot far, far below them. The party was entering into the land of eternal snow. and the ropes and ice axes were called into use. The guide first ticd himself with a stout Alpine rope, then, after an interval Marie was secure, then Herman and Martin. It was neces- sary for the leader to cut footholds with his axe, and the party progressed up the treacherous ice, where a mis-step meant certain death. They were climbing along a narrow ledge of ice, when Martin slipped, and, with a wild, weird cry, went headlong into the abyss below. Suddenly the rope tightened and he was left dangling like a spider. in inid air over that awful space. Herman felt the rope grow tant about his body. and in a flash realized the situation.-he was the sole hope for the lite of his fallen rival! The rope grew tighter and seemed to crush the very life from his body. lt seemed he could not breathe. and still that encircling cord held hhn. Black spots danced before his eyes. his head swain, and he felt himself being slowly pulled to the brink of the precipice. All at once the rope slackened and the end snap- ped back with a vicious twang. In an instant he guessed the truth. lllartin Hainel had cut the rope which held hini to life that he might not pull his friend with hini into the abyss. Greater love than this no man hath. that a inan lay down his life for his friend. HIS FIRST CASE' ' J. Stinson O 'Brien It was about three days after the office of John Dana, l'orporation Lawyer, had opened. He had as yet no eases. He was, therefore, highly pleased. when a inan, well dressed. radiating prosperity, dignified in bearing and earnest in appearance walked slowly into the rooin. Have a. seat, sir. he said in a business-like to11e, as he FUlil.'Tll IIIGII Nlili1'!lT'Tl0.YS 51 looked through some papers and catalogues that had been carelessly thrown into a drawer in his desk.

He then took down the telephone receiver and asked the operator for Main 2524 this home numberl. Hello, he began, This you, Mr. Smythe? NVell, this is Mr. Dana speaking. About that Bale- bro case that came up yesterday, everything was decided in our favor and Mr. Duffil immediately made out a check for 255000. the full amount and gave it to me,-rl45000 is right, isn't it-yes I thought that was it. VVhat's that you say 'f Three other lawyers turned the case down! Vtfhy, l didn 't find any stickers in it, hut of course. l've had quite a bit of experience with such cases, so that may be the reason. NVell, alright, Mr. Sinythe. l'll mail you the check right away, By this time the party on the other end of the wire either think- ing John crazy or having an inkling of what was doing. had hung up. Believing he had said enough to make an impres- sion on his visitor. he said good-bye and hung up the re- eeiver. Turning around to his caller he asked if he could be of any service. The gentleman introduced himself as Mr. J. P. Moore of Helena, Montana, President of the Associated Products Co. and that he wished to engage a lawyer to han- dle the firm 's business in San Francisco and to protect their patents against any infringement. The man's speech, his knowledge of business affairs. in fact everything about him conveyed to John as it had to many other men, an idea of what an important person he must be in the financial world. John asked him certain particulars about the business and the outcome of it was that Mr. Moore left a cheek for rI4ilO0H payable by the National City Bank as part payment on a year's salary. to be paid the lawyer for taking care of the San Francisco interests of the Associated Products t'o. When this had been settled. Mr. Moore took his departure and promised to return later to make final arrangements. 52 THE IG.YATlr1N .lly the time John left his ol'l'i1'4- it. was after hankingl hours, so he was forced to take the ehecl: honie with him.

Set among its flower-burdened fields is the crumbling mission of San Carlos. VVithin its lonely, ruined sanctuary is a stone slab with the inscription, Born at Majorca, November 24, 17133 died at San Carlos mission, August 28, 178-il. All about this quiet little spot lies the great common- wealth of California-thriving, prosperous, and happy. Yet, resting beneath that slab of stone in the mission at Carmel is the man, the humble Fransican Padre, who, with his heart 's blood quickened the pulse of civilization in California, and made possible our prosperity and happiness. Alone, almost unnoticed in his humble grave at Carmel, reposes the master- spirit of California, a character unique and beautiful, a character grand in simplicity, lofty in ideals, sublime i11 pur- posewPadre Junipero Serra. Every great character has been guided by the beacon- light of a high ideal. Wasliiiigtoii saw, gleaming through the darkness of tyranny and oppression, the lamp of liberty and toward it he led his countrymen. Through the lowering clouds of slavery Lincoln saw the bright star of justice and equality, and following it through the dreadful night of civil war, beheld at last, the radiant dawn of Emancipation. Wliat wvas the lodestar of the humble Franciscan Monk, who has earned for himself the foremost place in our states his- tory? Looking back through the mists of nineteen centu- ries, Padre Junipero Serra beheld the appeal of perfect love. the message of the bleeding Savior, dying for mankind, upon Golgothals brow. To carry that message of love to the ut- termost bounds of the earth became the consuming desire, the life-long purpose of Serra. lt grew with him, it ab- sorbed him. It moved him to choose a life of i11fi11ite toil, ,fI'.X'll'EI?0 NE'IQ'1'Eil 55 infinite suffering, infinite sacrifice, that his fellowmen. languishing in the hopeless bondage of lieathenism, migln, know and understand the benign, consoling truths of Vhris- tianity. lf Divine Providence had inspired him with so noble a. purpose, it endowed him, also, with a character iillfl. intellect ideally suited to the accomplishment of that purpose. Pre- eminently a theologian and philosopher, he combined a pro- found intellect, with that clear, practical foresight, requisite for the gigantic work of civilizing a people, fallen low in the scale of humanity. His was simple. child-like faith. Added to this was a will of iron, inflexible to every obstacle a11d a courage that would have been regarded as reckless in the most daring soldier. The brain of a genius. the heart of a martyr, the sagacity of a. statesman, the tenderness of a child-this was Junipero Serra. lt is the memorable July the sixth, 1765. in old Mexico, when Junipero Serra receives the news of Spain's intent to explore and colonize the great unknown regions of Alta California. Picture the saintly Franciscan, kneeling in his lonely monastery cell at Lorreto, in Lower California. The news falls upon his ears as a message from heaven, The sim- ple padre is speechless with emotion. ln his eye is seen the sparkle of a tear. Long had he yearned for the opportunity to go as a missionary into Alta California, and now that op- portunity had arrived, The sun looked many times through the little arched windows of Lorreto, but never had it illum- ined a happier countenance than that of the humble padre. who had found on that day the stepping stone to his life's ambition. The Spanish King and the proud Fastilian Statesmen could see in this project the means of amassing greater wealth for their country 's bulging coffers. The Padre Serra sees more than this. ln that Spanish proclamation, ordering the colonization of Alta California, Junipero Serra can sec the hand of God, tracing the outlines of his future. The low 56 TIIE IGNA TIAN pathetic cry ol' thc heathen soul is borne to his ears. Destiny make clear his vision. tfalifornia is to be his field, civiliza- tion and llhristianity his life work. Junipero Serra. joyful at Lorreto? How could he be joy- ful as he contemplated the long' arduous life that lay before him '? And we cannot doubt that for a man of Serra vision, the curtain of the future was widedrawn. He could see be- fore him the weary years of sowing, yielding only their meae ger harvest, yet Serra was joyful at Lorreto. Turning his back upon the quiet holy life of the monastery to which he had become so attached, and gazing with steadfast courage upon the dreary prospect before him, he takes in 0116 hand the torch of Civilization and in the other the Cross of Christ. and enters upon a task, which offers no promise of worldly peace, comfort, or glory. At the outset of his career in California, Serra was des- tined to meet with almost unconquerable obstacles. Disease had reduced the little band of Spaniards. to one-half the number that had left Mexico. Their spirits had been broken, by a series of unsuccessful explorations. The failure of a relief ship to arrive from Mexico, had reduced them to the verge of starvation. At Han Diego, Don Gaspar de Portola, the Military leader of the expedition, discouraged and dis- heartened, announced the abandonment of t'alifornia. To him the colonization of the country seemed impossible. To Serra, it was like hearing the death warrant of his dreams. He pleaded for California, pleaded with all the desperation of a mother calling back the life of her dying' infant. He asked Portola to wait for nine days, then, gathering the lit- tle party about him he commenced a novena to St, Joseph, patron of the expedition, for aid from Mexico. lt is the ninth day of the novena, and yet no ship has appeared to relieve the distressed little band at San Diego. At dawn o11 the ninth day, Serra mounts the gentle slope overlooking the bay of San Diego, and turns his eyes to the sea. Tliroughont the day he scans with aching eyes, the JUNIPERO SERIL1 57 waste of Waters 11s it 111-s i11 the uh1111gi11g light. 1111 NViL1fCl1CS 111111 prays with 1111 1l1lS1li11i611 faith, l1e1i1-vi11g that S01lll'XV111'1'f just helow 1l1e 1'i111 of the l1o1'izo11, there 1111151 1111 21 ship, 1Vl1ll the haucl of G1111, pushiiig it 1111 to st1111vi11g S1111 Diego.

San Diego. San Juan Capistrano, Han Gabriel, San Antonio de Padua, San liuenaventura, San Luis Obispo, San Carlos, Santa Clara, San Francisco, these are the mile-stones in the march of civilization in our state, placed there by the simple padre, who led the way. W'ithin the adobe walls of these missions, California's infancy was nursed. lt was in them that the savage native exchanged the bow for the sickle and the arrow for the spade. Junipero Serra woke California from her immemorial sleep and with luring lips she called to the wandering sails, and caravans of the world. From the granite hills of New England, from the eotton fields and cane brakes of the South, the pioneer harkened to her call. She called to the seas, With their tides of tang, To the ships of the far off fleet, And they came in the lure of the song she sang, VVith their white sails to her feet. Behold the saintly padre, in his declining years, at his beloved mission of San Carlos, at Carmel, In his feeble tot-- tering frame, see the master spirit of California. His life work is finished. To King, he offers the rich province of Alta California. To Mankind he bequeaths the benefieient influence of the Missions. To his God he gives countless human souls. This is the life work of Junipero Serra. The devotion and heroism of some men has been tested al the stake. A few moments of torture and a heap of glowing eoals proclaims them martyrs. The devotion of other men has been tested upon the gibbet. An instant of pain and the eold sorrowful dawn looking upon the deserted scaffold, pro- claims them marty1's.

MAROEVICH, '21 The Faculty of St. Ignatius College has recently been the recipient of a truly wonderful gift,-a new home. It is coin- niodious, conveniently situated. relative AN UNFAILING to the present church and the prospect- FRIEND AND ive college, and supplied with all the BENEFACTRESS appointinents necessary for the coinfoit and the scholastic pursuits ol' a staff ni' College professors. Since the fire of 1906, the faculty has been housed in what is appropriately styled Wan eurtlupiake refugee shack . It was built innnediately after the earth- quake and fire to serve as a temporary residence, but, be- cause the Jesuit Fathers used what funds they had for the rebuilding of St. Ignatius Church and for the advancement of the college, it has had to serve the purpose of a home for inore than fifteen years. Nor was there any hope of iinprov- ing conditions except in the generosity of sonic friend who would supply funds for this specific use or. better still, who would present, instead of funds. a completed home. This is preciesly what has happeircd. The Facility has 62 THE IGNA rnrv had nothing to do but to accept, the new building, complete in every detail, including even the artistic work on the broad stretch of terraced lawn. As is but natural, we rejoice with the Facultyg we feel proud, for our city 's sake, of this addition to its architectural grandeur, for the new building is a beautiful example of Italian Renaissance architectureg and, above all, we con- sider ourselves in duty bound to express, best ive may. our sense of appreciation of the gift and our deep indebted- ness to the generous giver. ' But we are confronted by some difficulties. First of all, the bountiful benefactress dislikes anything that savors of publicity, and secondly, wonderful as is the gift of a hoine, it is but one of a long series of benefactions, covering many years and taking us back to the days before the fire. This second difficulty is unsurniountableg we cannot even enum- erate the generosities of this good woman. VVe think, how- ever, that we may overcome the first difficulty and avoid giving displeasure. VVe shall speak more of the gifts than of the giver and indulge in what to every citizen of San Francisco is a pleasurable reininiscence VVe are too young to recall all of the old landmarks of San Francisco, but one of them has been described with such admirable skill and with such wealth of illustration in 't'l'he First Fifty Years , the golden jubilee publication of St. Ignatius Cliurch, that we may mention some of the most conspicuous features as they are detailed in this book. How lasting must have been the impression made o11 one by a visit to the old church on Hayes Street and Van Ness Avenue! The light streaming through the art-ivindows lin- gered lovingly among the gigantic columns and storied arches and fretted expanse of ceiling, and then reflected downward found its way. in subdued lustre, into the devo- tional quiet of the many alcoves that were dedicated to the different saints of the Jesuit Order. The photographs that remain are very impressiveg we may easily fancy what im- pression was made by the reality. ln the first alcove to the IGDITOIFIAL 63 left was the famous life-sized statue of St. Aloysius, resting as in sleep beneath the marble altar, while from above the Angelic Youth looked down from a rare artistic canvass on the prayerful visitors. An excellent painting it was, framed in gold and surrounded by columns that assisted the Angel figures to support the overhanging canopy of bronze. Then there was the lite-like image of the great Xavier as he stood with upraised Crucifix before the pagans of the Orient. It was a work of art in itself and in its setting. lt recalled the zeal of the great Apostle and appealed with more than usual effect to those that lingered near the devotional shrine. The Altar of the Sacred Heart,-what prayerful emotion must have come into the souls of the worshipers who knelt before the beautiful painting of the Savior! lt was in a massive oval frame, held by angels, surrounded by onyx columns and by white marble figures symbolizing faith and love. VVe struggle in vain for words to express the glory, the majesty, the quiet calm, the devotional atmosphere that, even on ordinary occasions, must have been characteristic of that old Church of St. Ignatius. What must have been the im- pressiveness of the solemn services for which St. Ignatius Church was then as now so admirably distinguished. Let us endeavor to recall some special service, when the main altar, of such massive proportions, is decorated for the occasion. The priests robed in vestments of gold, the sanctuary boys in cardinal eassocks and choice lace surplices, move slowly and solemnly from the newly built sacristy to the brilliantly illuminated sanctuary. Flowers of every heaven, a thousand flickering tapers, clouds of rising incense unite to add beau- ty to the permanent ornamentation. Here are Angels sup- porting the overhanging tribunes, there are other Angels holding sanctuary lamps or torches, there again are adoring Angels, Angels of hope, Angels of faith. Angels of love l The massive columns that form the reredos stand as sentinels aiiound the painting of St. Ignatius in which he is repre- sented as entering into the glory of Heaven. On either side the white marble statues of Mary and of Joseph enshrined 64 THE IGNATIAN beneath the artistic suggestion of an open vault, through the balustrade of which Angels arc seen dropping flowers from Heaven. What a sight it must have been! But there was an appeal to the sense of hearing too, not only by the golden eloquence of such gifted orators as Father Dionysius Mahony, but also, and we might say especially, by the sonorously sweet strains of the symphony organ that rolled through the incense-laden air adding majesty of sound to beauty of color, appealing to the senses as Well as to the heart and to the mind, telling the worshipers that they were compound beings dependent for thought on the avenues of the senses and supplying those religiously elevating sense-impressions for which the heart of man is athirst. Old St. Ignatius Church, a masterpiece of religious art, a home of spiritual comfort, a sanctuary of supernatural in- spiration, bore eloquent testimony to the fact that seine of her friedns loved the beautiful, appreciated the artistic, had exalted ideals of Divi11e service, and, above all, had the generosity of heart and hand that was necessary to make such a masterpiece a reality. There were, we have no doubt, many such friendsg but the old Church, as it stood in its ornamented magnificence, was in great part the gift of one benefactress. The spacious sacristy, the gold vestinents, the sanctuary fixtures,-carved oak and moulded bronze and rich vases,-many of the paint- ings, all of the art-windows, the rich ornamentation and the wonderful organ-were tributes of her munificence to the Glory of God. Her generosity entered even into the clois- tral seclusion of the Father residence. She had their do- mestic chapel converted into a little gem of varied lovliness and though, through some mistake. it was not hers to see that little chapel, how fervently must the old Fathers have recommended their friend and benefactress to God when they assembled there for daily prayers! Old St. lgnatius seemed destined to endure as long as the city itself. It did, indeed, weather the earthquake shock, 1ch11'o1.'1.1L 65 with the same rugged ease as the steel-ribbed ship weathers the storm at sea, llllf it hllL'Cllll1l7CCl to the devastating flames that swept i11 unhindered ruthlessness over tl1e city during the ever nieniorahle week of niid-April, 15106. Of the glory and tl1e majesty of St. Ignatius nothing remained but a seared skeleton of brick towering ill solenin sadness over the blackened l'lll11S of San Francisco. At the time the faithful friend of St. lgnatius was in New York. She read the news of the disaster, sl1e learnt of her personal losses a11d of the loss of what :night be called her Church. Marred beyond the power of resuscitation was its beauty. broken were its mighty arches, stilled was the voice of its sonorous organ! Ever to be I'ElI19llllJE'1'?Cl. never to be sufficiently admired. was the open-hearted, openvhanded generosity of those days. Tl1e Cl31lllllCSS courage, the indomitable spirit, the deterniined resolve to b11ild again have niade San Francisco lI11fJXV1l and loved tl1r011gl1o11t tl1e world. The faithful friend of St. Ignatius was not the least nor the last in her generosity. Her first thought was for the Jesuit Fathers a11d she wired at once offering to theni, as a temporary shelter, her palatial l1on1e 011 Eddy Street! The Fathers hesitated, but they co11ld 11ot resist her personal ap- peal XYllQ1l, after reaching' the city, she renewed, with insist- ance, l1er generoiis offer. From May 1111til October, 1906, the Jesuit Fathers occupied her l1on1e, continued their church- work in a little chapel she had erected Hll the lawn and ex- perienced, as few others could, the effects of the inextin- guishahle generosity that was characteristic of those days. Then caine the niultiplieation of mistakes or lainentahle lack of foresight, or unavoidable cireuinstanees that united to depreciate the val11e of property and to increase tl1e debt incurred by the Jesuits, in rebuilding o11 a grander scale, the Dresent St. lgnatius Cliurch. The old l1iStO1'iC i11StiU1'fi0U was threatened with ship-wreck and would have gone out of the life of San Francisco had not tl1e appeal for help in 1919 niet with such an encouraging response. Funds DOll1'9Cl in 66 TIIE IGNATIAN from all sides, the site ol! the old f,llllll'1'll was sold, and the institution, though not entirely freed l'ron1 delmt, was in EL po- sition to continue its work with revived hope and promise nl' more abundant years. One thought was now uppermost in the niinds of those who were interested in the work of St. Ignatius' t'hurch and College. Hlt the Fathers only had a home! they thought. They knew of the inconveniences of fifteen years, they knew of the inadequate accomodations of the poorly constructed earthquake-shack in which they had heen content to live and lahor for the Glory of God and the salvation of souls and so, in their charity, they hoped to see the Fathers provided with 21 suitable honie. Again was the faithful friend at hand not with an offer to assist, hut with a determination to take upon herself the whole responsihility and to present the completed residence to the Jesuit Fathers of St. Ignatius. lt is now an neconiplished fact, a heautiful honie that an- swers all the needs of a religious eonnnunitjf- It is described elsewhere in this magazine. Our purpose was to indicati- tliat, great as the gift is, it is hut one of a long series of equally appreciated henefactions. lt is therefore from the fullness ol' our hearts that we speak when turning troin the gifts to the generous giver, we endeavor to give expression of our gratitude and to acknowledge our indehtedness.

The niembers assembled at the Olympie Club, where they were niet by machines and driven out to the popular resort on the Great Highway. After those present had pai-taken heartily of the tempt- ing viands set before them, and had emitted several sighs for the good old days 113. P., I . Harold Uaulfieid, presiding in the absence of President Murphy, announced that the ehief business of the evening was the eleetion of officers.

Chairman Caulfield commented that it was eustomary for the newly elected officers to favor their fellow alumni with a few remarks, and rather than depart from the sacred Custom, all made short speeches, Father Laherty, the new Moderator, blazing the trail. The business of the evening disposed of, the members 68 THE 1o,x'ii1'n1.v turned to more entertaining pastimes, giving sonie of the talented ineinbers of the organization an opportunity to dis- play their wares, The feature of the program was the su- berb interpretation of that old favorite, 'tThe Shooting of Dan llIeGrew. by Bill l-Srennan. The proper atinosphere was provided for this selection by l3ob7' Ryan, who pre- sided at the console of the world smallest organ and ae- eoiupanied Bill with soul-stirring inusie. There are some who inaintain that Hob did not keep the proper teinpo, whatever that is, and that he often gained a lap or two on the eloquent young attorney, but if sueh was the ease it was overlooked by the vast majority. At the conclusion of the program a dash was made for the inaehines, and it is reported that almost all were suc- cessful in securing a ride horne. A few inonths ago about twenty old boys gathe1'ed around the festive board at the St. Francis Hotel with Father Henry VVoods, S. J., as the guest of honor. Fr. Vlfoods was in San Franoiseo for a few days' visit and his friends were not slow to pass the word around. This friendly gathering is indicative of the high esteein in which the eininent Jesuit is held by those who profited by his instruction while he was a ineinber of the Faculty of the college. lt is gratifying to note that our distinguished alumnus. Hon. Jaines D. Phelan, A. li., L.L.lS,, though no longer re- taining a seat in the Senate, has not dropped out of '81 the publie eye. He is indeed one of California fore- inost citizens, Hlld ever working for the develop- inent of the state and advoeating policies that are beneficial and constructive. The lnany friends of Rev. Jaines J. Vonlon, S. J., Pro- fessor of illlQ1l1lS't1'y of St. Ignatius College, have sincerely regretted that he has been confined to St. Marys '89 Hospltai for inany inonths, and hope that his recovery inay be rapid. Reports are that Fr. Conlon is improv- AL UJINI 69 ing, but it will be some time before the famous wielder of test tubes will again be found in thc lecture hall. The Faculty and Alumni of St. lgnatius College mourned the passing some months ago of one who was beloved by all with whom he came in contact. ln the death of Frederick H. Jung, M. S.. L.L.l'3., St. Ignatius lost a loyal alumnus and San Francisco a citizen of the highest standing. 'tFred was a member of several fraternal organizations, taking a prominent part in all their activities, and was ever working for the prosperity of our city and state. Leo J. Devlin, prominent San Francisco architect and a member of the Class of '99, has recently completed plans for the new Junior College of the Archdiocese of San '99 Francisco, to be located at Mountain View. The building is to be constructed at an approximate cost of bl41,000,U0O. He has also finished the plans for a M50,0Ull structure for St. Joseph 's Hospital on liuena Vista avenue. The lgnatian congratulates Leo on his success and looks for- ward to still greater achievements in the years to come. Edward F. O'Day, A. B., President of the Alumni Asso- ciation, has been doing some excellent work of late as Pub- licity Manager for the Spring Valley NVater t'ompany. '00 The Mads written by 'tEddie never fail to occa- sio11 no end of favorable comment owing to the new ideas followed by the author in their preparation. The typical O'Day style , however, is always in evidence, and goes far to furnish the much desired punch, This is a new line for Eddie, but he has been hitting the ball 1-ight on the nose from the very start. The lgnatian takes this opportunity of congratulating Stanislaus A. Riley, A. l-S., LL. li.. upon the enthusiasm and energy he displayed in prosecuting the defendants in the late Gangster Cases . 'tStans not only met with excep- tional success in these cases, but also earned the gratitude of all San Francisco. XVl1CI1 District Attorney lirady chose our former Law Professor to vindicate the fair name of our 70 THE IGNATIAN city kllld wipe out the stain that had hesuiirched it by rea- son of tl1e acts of a few degenerates, l1is choice was a most ll?lPpY 0116 as was well proven hy suhsequeiit events. 'tStans is a 111a11 of l1igl1 ideals, and well deserves the praise tl1at has been showered upon l1i111. It was gratifying to note that hiS naine was often inentioned, at the time a snecessor to the late Judge Owens was to be appointed to the Superior lieneh. Joseph A, llliirpliy, A. IZ., '01, is rejoicing over the advent at the ll0l1lQ of Michael F. Buckley of a bouncing baby boy. t'Joe elaiins that he is a 'tringer for Mike , but asks that nobody hold that against l1i111. VVe congratulate Mr. Hilti Mrs. liuekley, and C0ll1PlilT1P1l'f Joe Murphy on tak- i11g such a keen interest i11 the affairs of his fellow aluninus. The iueinhers of tl1e Al1111111i Association are well pleased by the fact that two S. l. old boys are glllfllllg tl1e des- tinies of Santa t lara llniversity, naniely, Father Tilllfltllj' Murphy, ex-'00, and Father Joseph Sullivan, ex-'Ol. As President and Vive-President of our sister institution. these lgnatians are meeting with admirable success. and it is sin- cerely hoped that the future will crown their efforts with even greater rewards i11 the line of prosperity for Santa Clara. Joseph A. Murphy, A. li., f01'lllGl' President of the Alumni Association, has severed connections with tl1e Al G. Fa11lk- 1191' Foinpany, and is at present acting as Sales Man- '02 ager for Harold L.

He has opened law offices in the Mills l-luilding, where he will be pleased to meet any of his old friends, particularly those who admire lilaelc- stone and the t'ommon Law of England. Alfred J. Cleary, A. B.. has resigned his position as As- sistant City Engineer and is now a consulting engineer for large corporations. NVhile holding his former position he was in charge of Hetch Helchy construction, and won an enviable reputation by his work on this project. The lgnaf tian congratulates Al upon his success, and also felici- tates Mr. and Mrs. Cleary upon the arrival at their home of a baby-yep, you guessed it, it 's a boy. Rev. Thomas J. Flaherty, S. J., having completed his studies at St. Louis L'niversity, is back on the Pacilic Coast again. At present Father Flaherty is stationed at '05 Sacred Heart Novitiate, Los Gatos. Since his return from the East, he has found time to pay St. Ignatius several visits, during one of which he inspected the edi- torial rooms of the lgnatian, and pronounced them much better equipped than when he served as Director. Vxle hope that we may have the pleasure of seeing Father Flaherty more frequently in the future, and sincerely trust that next year will find him a member of the H. l. Faculty. Rev. Victor V. NN'hite, S. J., is spending his last few months at St. Louis University, where he has been complet- ing his theological studies. and will soon be on the '06 Pacific Uoast again. A host of friends will welcome Father White on his retuin. and will be more than pleasediif St. 'Ignatius is allowed to profit by his energy and ability. Due to the illness of Father Conlon, William E. McCann, A. M., has been secured to take charge ol' the t'hemical Laboratory of the College and to deliver lectures to '09 the various Chemistry classes. Judging from reports from those Who are fortunate enough to be receiving 72 THE IGNATIAN instruction from t'l5ill a better selection could not have been made to fill the vacancy. Richard A. Queen, A. li., hero of the Big Brawl and decorated ad infinitum, has given up office work and es- poused the life of the great outdoors. Dick was '12 formerly connected with the Managers Office of the Flood Building, but found that position rather tire- some. He signed up with the United States Shipping Board for a. course of instruction in seamanship, and it is Written in the log-book of the good ship Hollywood that although one R. C. Queen sailed from the port of San Francisco as a lowly apprentice seaman, when she returned he was in full connnand. And a log-book never lies. St. Ignatius College is proud of the fact that one of her sons has been chosen to guide the activities of the local coun- cil of the greatest Catholic organization in America. '13 Last September C. Harold Caulfield, A. B., was ele- vated to the office of Grand Knight of San Francisco Council No. 615 of the Knights of Columbus. The lgnatian extends to Harold its congratulations and sincerely hopes that his term will long be remembered for its prosperity and success. The many friends of James J. Harrington, A. li., L.L.l3., young San Francisco attorney and in his college days a star on the Varsity ball team, will be pleased to learn that '14 James is about to request one of the Fathers to tie the knot. The young lady in the case is Miss Cicily Joan Windele, a young debutante of charming personality. Here 's wishing them all the happiness in the World. Thomas H. Foster, A. li., seems to have a. fondness for the gold braid of the Army Cor perhaps it is Mrs. Fosterp. Tom has accepted a commission and is a First '16 Lieutenant attached to the 32nd lnfantry at the Presidio. We note with pride that Herman A. van der Zee has been elected to the office of President of lgnatian Council No, 235, -l I-ug A V AL UJINI 73 Young Men's lnstitute. Dutch is a hard worker and should meet with success in piloting this progressive organi- zation. He succeeds a brother alumnus in the person of Gerald J. Kenny, L.L.B,, '1T. Joseph F. O'Malley, L.L.l3., believing that some of the laws passed by our honorable legislators needed considerably improving, decided to run for Assemblyman in the '18 25th District. ttJoe ran, but not quite hard enough. Perhaps if he had secured Pep Flynn to act as manager of his campaign the results would have been differ- ent. Reports from St. Louis University are very satisfactory concerning the progress of Julius J. Lister, A. lol., in the Vol, lege of Medicine. Out of a class of over one hundred '19 only twenty-eight passed the Mid-Year Examinations, and ttDutch was one of the successful ones. He re- ports that studies keep him quite busy, but that he finds time now and then to give St. Louis a taste of San Francisco jazz music. The members of the Alumni Association have given their new Moderator, Father Laherty, a most hearty welcome into their ranks. Father Laherty is possessed of a winning per- sonality, and an officer of this famous organization, he should be able to accomplish no end of good both for the College and its graduates. As we go to press the headquarters of the May Festival Committee in the Phelan Building reports that a number of old boys have volunteered their assistance and are doing everything in their power to make this monster benefit for St. lgnatius Church and College a great success. Among those who are taking an active part in the work are Frantz Hughes, Jack Egan, t'Joe Murphy, Harold Vaulfield and Raleigh Kelly. May their efforts, together with the efforts of the thousands of friends of the Jesuit Fathers, be successful in wiping out the debt under which St. Ignatius is now struggling. Darrell W.

This lgnatian team was composed of Messrs. Edward l. Fitzpatrick, Nicholas B. Maroevich. and Martin H. O'Brien, while, on the other hand, Stanford was repre- sented by Messrs. Lowell Gerson, M. R.

T i BASKETBALL Emulating the wonderful achievements of its predews- sors St. lgnatius Basketball Team of 1921 upheld the honor and glory of the Uollege by proving itself to be one of the best college quintets along the Pacific Voast. Under tln, able tutelage of Coaeh Joe Ryan the athletes eommeneed to work out rather early in the season and as a result fairly smothered various army, navy and club teams in the prae- tiee games. As usual. the squad looked forward with great eagerness to the opening of the California-Nevada League and were confident that they would win high honors. Nor were their hopes in vain as they finished close to the top of the league. The team was unable to capture the championship this year due, perhaps, to the faet that they were trained too fine and were a trifle stale at the opening of the league. The boys got off to a poor start. dropping the First two league games, in which injuries and other unavoidable inc-idents played an important part. lint smarting under the sting of these two defeats and imbued with the old St, Ignatius fighting spirit., the team rallied. recovered its old time pep and form and handed quite a few decisive defeats and surprises to the re- maining teams, that had regarded the lgnatians as easy marks. The veterans who reported and made the team were Captain Terry Boyle, Larreeou, Cronin, Lauterwasser, t'Aug- gie Johnsen, Barry, and Sweitzer. Among the new eomers were included f'lshi Maroevich, Ulmpw Begley, Marty O 'Brien and O 'Neil VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM 1921 ATHLETIC NOTES 91 St. Ignatius 285 California 40 An exceedingly large and enthusiastic crowd greeted St. Ignatius and California they trotted upon the court for the first game of the season in the California-Nevada League. Although the Blue and Gold warriors won hy a eomfortahle margin, the score fails to indicate the closeness of the hat- tle. Had the lgnatians heen fortunate enough to ring a few baskets in the last few minutes of play, they would have altered the outcome of the encounter and perhaps would have emerged victors. But that night the fates surely were against us, for shot after shot of the lgnatians would spin around the ring in a tantalizing manner only to fail to drop through the basket, However the warriors of good old S. l. fought every minute of the game and are to he congratulated for their splendid showing, for a defeat administered hy the Bruin quintet which later proved to he the hest of the Paci- fic Coast, is surely no disgrace. The game started with a. hang and kept the overflowing bleachers in an uproar until the final whistle was sounded. California took the lead within the first few minutes of play and although hard pressed at times managed to hold it until the end. At half time the Berkeley Boys were leading, 19-11. Syines and Eggleston were the outstanding stars for the Bruins, while Milt Lauterwasser and Capt. Boyle played a wonderful game for the lgnatians. St. Ignatius 17g Santa Clara 16 VVith the defeat at the hands of California fresh in its memory, the St. Ignatius Quintet traveled down to Santa Clara, where they participated in the first. contest of the three game series between the two Jesuit Universities. This game proved to he a real thriller and resulted in a victory for the lgnatians by the narrow margin of one point. Dur- ing the entire encounter the score was kept down hy the clever Work of the guards who hroke up play after play. The first half ended in a tie, 10-10. 92 THE IGNATIAN The second period started with a rush and was extremely fast and exciting. Up to the last few moments of play, the Santa Clara lads were leading by one point. Then, to the surprise of everyone, including himself, Larrecou, the dash- ing guard, rang a basket from the middle of the court, thus putting the game on ice. 'tlmp Begley and Mel Cronin starred for the lgnatians with their fancy shooting, while Fowler and Needles did most of the scoring for Santa Clara. St. Ignatius 125 Nevada 22 On January 29, the Nevada five arrived in San Francisco to play St. Ignatius. Undaunted by the stormy evening a large crowd assembled to witness what was expected to be one of the best games of the season. But, alas, much to the disappointment and disgust of the spectators and of the com- peting teams, Mr. Harris, the referee, furnished an unpleas- ant surprise in the form of an exhibition of technical refers eeing. Harris insisted on calling foul after foul, so that to- wards the end of the game the players moved about slowly and cautiously, for fear of rubbing elbows with one another. The score at half time was 7-6, in favor of the Nevada boys. who made all their points on fouls. The escond half dragged along slower than the first, being continually halted by the whistle of Referee Harris, who was ever prone to display his technical knowledge of basketball. Nevertheless. the Sagebrusliers were more successful this half, as they made five field goals and the same number of free shots. During the whole game no less than 25 fouls were called on the St. lgnatius players, while 10 were charged up against the Ne- vada lads. The game was featured by the playing of the lgnatian Vaptain, Terry Hoyle and by Bradshaw of Nevada. St. Ignatius 185 Stanford 31 On February 2, the Stanford quintet journeyed up to St. Ignatius to engage in a game which was not scheduled in the California-Nevada League.

The team is to be commended for their wonder- ful showing and especially for their fine fighting spirit. No disputes, thanks to the efficiency of Referee Glenn, marred this contest. The game was fast throughout and was feat- ured by the playing of Sweitzer and Larrecou for the Igna- tians and by Righter of Stanford, who awed the spectators by his fancy shots. St. Ignatius 38g Santa Clara 17 The second and deciding game of the series between St. Ignatius and Santa Clara resulted in an overwhelming vic- tory for the lgnatians. At the outset it looked gloomy for our lads for Santa tllara piled up five points before we knew what happened. However, we soon warmed up to the occa- sion and from then on it was only a question of how large the score would be. The squad gave a great exhibition of teamwork, perfect passing and marvelous shooting. At half time the score was 22-15 in our favor.. ln the second half Johnsen and Cronin continued to drop the hall in the basket with amazing regularity, while Larre- cou and Capt. Terry Boyle kept breaking up every play that Santa Clara endeavored to execute. ln virtue of their de- cisive victory St. lgnatius reigns supreme in basketball over her sister college. St. Ignatius 34g College of Pacific 30 On February 12, the squad we11t down to San Jose to meet the College of the Pacific on their court. Unfortun- ately for the College of the Pacific, which was an excep- tionally strong team, our warriors were in first class condi- tion and flushed with their recent victory over Santa Flara. The game was a battle from the start and both teams fought desperately throughout the entire fracas. The first half found St. lgnatius leading, 10-8. The battle grew more exciting in the second half and with but five more minutes to play the score was deadloeked, A T11 LE TIC' NO TES 95 20-20. Then St. Ignatius, through the combined efforts of Johnsen, Sweitzer and Cronin, forged into the lead, scor- ing seven baskets in quick succession. St. Ignatius 415 St. Mary 38 The final game of the season was with St. Marys Vol- lege and was the fastest and most exciting game ever staged on the local court since the famous contest with Los Angeles last season. Full of pep and determination each team was confident of victory. As soon as the game started one fast play after another was executed by both teams bringing thc excited and cheering crowd to its feet on numerous ocea- sions. During the first half the Oakland lads seemed to have the edge on the argument, for they led by a score of 22-19. When the tussle was resumed the lads displayed the same fight and spirit that characterized the first half. The seorc see-sawed. The crowd grew hoarse. ln the last few minutes, with St. Mary 's leading, 31-34, Speed Vrouin came dash- ing down the court to take a shot at the basket. The St. Mary 's guard grabbed his arm to prevent the basket, but. luckily for us he stopped Mel just enough, for the ball dropped gracefully in the basket and St, lngatius was awarded two free shots for the foul. HAugie Johnsen, who was shooting in excellent form this game, managed to drop one in. thus making the score 337-37. liut another sur- prise was in store for us, for immediately Larreeou got the ball from the center and awed the excited throng by drop- ping the ball in the basket, thus breaking up the gaiue. Forthwith the lgnatians made another goal just for good measure. The superb guarding of Capt. Terry l'5 3'll' HUG the shooting of Augie Johnsen and Mel C'rouin were the outstanding features of the contest. John Cl. Hughes 'ZZl. 96 THE IGNA TIAN High School Athletics FOOTBALL The first consideration that interested Mr. Sullivan, J., Athletic lllodcrator, and a host of veteran athletes upon the reopening of school in September. was the resumption of football activities in the high school. A meeting was held a week or so after our return. and by the unaniinous vote of all those interested in thc Anteri- can game-it was decided to have a t'prep team-that is, an eleven composed both of high school and college men. The reason for this decision was because neither of the two institutions possessed all the necessary requirements to turn out a representative eleven. It was thought that a coinbina- tion of the two would solve the difficulty. ' Our athletic moderator generously broke the age-old tra- dition of the high school when he proiniscd blocks to the reg'- ular squad, should they win a inajority of their scheduled games. Encouraged by a brief years experience with the elusive pig-skin, and aniinated with the hope of bringing glory to their Alina Mater, our ambitious warriors turned out in such crowds for practice that Voach VVar1nan with difficulty found place for all in the spacious Stadium. However, with a little gruelling skill practice and a hard two weeks work- out, the squad was cut to accomodate about twenty of the more ferocious element. Vaptain Marocvicll ably assisted xVkl1'll12lll in coaching the raw material in the art of tackling: the flying spectre and strangling the elusive fumble. The following' were rewarded for their ability and native instinct by a regular berth on the t'prep eleven.: O'tlonnell, Meany, Met'orinick, Clancy, Rennie, Turner and-Harrison alternating-Kelly. In the back-field, Capt. Maroevich, O'l3rien, Ryan, liannon. The squad was well fortified in the 'tsub department, and the following displayed real ability when called upon: HIGH SIVIIOOI, ATIIIJETIUN 97 DeLucehi, Maekall, Ilugrlies, Popes, Mellonald, Quinlan, Prendergast. The team, as a whole, was a. well halaueerl one--vgood in sizing up plays and offering ll1lQl'ff'l'OllCt'- -perhaps hettei' in the forward passing department and unhratahle in its fast offensive taeties. A long schedule was drawn up, hut, unfortunately, uu- seen developments arose-and confined our playing to two games. Naturally we were only credited with two victories. In the first tilt of the season we were opposed hy the fast Alameda High eleven. at Lineoln Park, Alameda. After a fast, smashing' game, accompanied hy an extra amount of rough play and a few knoekouts, our hopefuls emerged from the scattered dust-the victors-hy a i3 to 7 score. For three quarters our mole-skin warriors played the Alamedans off their feet, and hut for three or four costly fumbles under the shadow of our opponents' goal postsgthe seore would have been much larger. The feature of the contest came in the first minute of the game when our fellows-on three plays-carried the pig-skin the whole length of the field for the first touchdown of the season. Our next and last game, with Potter High, resulted in an overwhelming victory for us. Potter was forced to take the short end of a 35-7 seore. In the first quarter the Potter lads played football-hut when our powerful offensive eaine into action-they were foreed to watch the proceedings. If the game was one-sided, it was also spectacular. Two long sixty yard runs hy Ryan and O'l'Srien, and a brilliant 230 yard drop kick hy Capt. Maroevieh displayed the vast superiority of the lgnatian eleven. 130 LB. BASKETBALL TEAM, CHAMPIONS OFKS. F. A. L Standing: Gllly, Mackin, Kirby, Quinlan Kneeling: Gaffney lCapt.J, Cunningham, McKinnon Sitting Lane, Keith HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS 99 Basketball The most successful basketball season St. Ignatius ever had, has just slipped by into history. And with its passage a tradition has been left for future court stars to glance at and strive to emulate. For the first time since athletics were introduced into the high school, two S. F. A. L. championships were captured. when our Red and Blue athletes decisively outclassed all out- side competition i11 basketball. In fact, our star quintets won on their ability alone-f the whole Senior Tournament of the S. F. A. L. for the 1921 season-a feat which has never been accomplished before by any local high school. Although but two teams were entered in the 130 and 145 lb. division, St. Ignatius claimed the unlimited champion- ship of the city by defeating Lowell high-the league win- ners. Mr. Sullivan, S. J., Athletic Moderator of the high school. is to be congratulated on the wonderful and competent man- ner in which he handled the winning teams. The 110 's were the only S. l. entry in the Junior S. F. A. L., while the champion 130 and 145 quintets were entered in the Senior Event. ' The 11O's had a very successful season, both outshooting and outplaying every team they met. The score book cred- its them with sixteen consecutive victories, and one defeat. Although hampered by excessive weight, they fought con- sistently throughout the league, winning four out of a five game schedule. Lick, Humboldt, Lowell a11d Sacred Heart were one by one forced to lower their colors in recognition of the Red and Blue. After a clean sweep in the Division championship, they met Poly high in the finals. The first stanza ended in a 7 to 7 tie, after which the Ignatians found difficulty in locat- 1Q0 THE IGNATIAN ing the basket, and experiencing a good deal of bad luck were forced to field the lead to the Red and Black quintet. and finally the championship. The score was 213-11. Circle blocks were awarded to Wallis, Laughlin, Doherty, Meyer. McAuliffe, Corbett, O'Gara, McGi-orey and Sullivan. Long before the Senior Tournament rolled around, our crack 1330-pounders were figured to have a Hwalkawayn in the League. The chief topic of discussion was the size of the scores they would roll up. There was no possibility of losing. The 130's, led by Captain Gaffney, more than fulfilled expectations-they set up another record which has not been equalled before in the records of basketball at S. l.-that of being credited with twenty consecutive victories. They never tasted defeat during the entire season. Aside from subduing a number of local 145 quintets, they demonstrated their real class and ability by defeating the St. Joseph's Athletic Club-P. A. A. 120 Champions-and the crack Agnetian 30's-runners-up in the State basket- ball finals. Hence, when the League reopened, our 130 's found little close competition, and went through the ,Tournament with a clean slate of six victories. , Twice, however, they were pressed. Lowell, by a fire inan defensive, thought to off-set the team work of the lgna- tians-but, after a hopeless 40-minute struggle, their efforts proved futile. The score was 27-15, in our favor. Lick-- our first victim, was snowed under by a 42-13 count. ln their next game the 30's administered a 49-13 beating to ti'0H111191'C6-3.11Cl the week later overwhelmed both Humboldt and Missiong the former 61-55 the latter 52-16. The 30's played Poly in the last game of the League sche- dule for the championship. Poly had high hopes and started in by challenging our weight. The game was close during the first half, but our star combination settled down in the second spasm and rolled up HIGH SUIIOOL r1TIILETIf'S 101 enough points for an easy win. Score, 352-17. As a result the 130 lb. S. F. A. L.'s championship was ours! Although we issued a challenge to San Mateo to play for the championship of Northern California, it went unheeded -and according to the nature ol' things-we annexed anoth- er title. St. Ignatius 130 lb. team-the High School Vbamps of Northern California. We defy any challenge. Big S. l. H. Blocks were awarded to tfapt. Gaffney, Lane, Cunningham, Maekin, Kirby, Gilly, Keith, P. Olson, McKin- non and Quinlan. Gaffney, Lane, Keith and Kirby were the real stars of the team and were responsible for its wonderful showing. The 1-15 pounders did not have any great expectations . Little was known of their ability at the beginning. However, as a matter of fact, they succeeded in winning the city chain- pionship easier than the 30s-if such a thing can be said. The addition of t'laney and Morrissey materially strengthened our welterweiglits and before the S. F. A. L. opened, they were conceded the silver medals without a murmur. Met'ormiek was chosen to captain the champions. Our -15 conipleted their pre-season games by defeating the three best teams in the unlimited division by comfortable margins. Lowell and Poly were easy-but the original Pom- nieree team furnished a stiff argument. ' The records credit them with seventeen victories and three defeats. With their regular line-up, our champs, never once suffered defeat the hands of a 145 aggregation. ln their first League encounter, our Red and Blue bas- hcteers hung up an S. F. A. L. record by defeating Mission 67 to 1. lt was first degree murder. and at that we were deprived of four minutes playing time. Cogswell caught the 45's on an off-day, and battled them up to the last ten. min- utes to a 14-14 deadlock. But we finally got started and ended the fracas by winning, 28-14. ln rapid succession wc overwhelmed Lowell-53-11, and Cfounnerce-51-20. ln our last game with Poly High, although Kelly could not make 102 THE IGNATIAN weight and Clancy was laid up, we easily outpointed the Sunseters by a 42-20 score. The S. F. A. L. was ended. After Winning six consecutive games, our 45's had lived up to predictions, by winning the city championship. We issued challenges, both to Lowell-the unlimited 'tchan1ps , and Fremont, to play for the northern state title. They remained unanswered. Since we had defeated Lowell and they refused to play. we naturally claimed the unlimited championship of the city, and with as much right as the Red and White insti- tution-the high school 145 championship of Northern Cali- fornia. So our 45,5 Won three titles-only one of which can be disputed. Blocks were awarded to Morrissey, Cullinan, Hamilton, McCormick, Kelly, Nelson, Clancy, Olson, Popes and Sulli- van. Influenced by Mr. Sullivan's generosity, the Student Body has presented gold basket balls to all the players on the two championship teams. Summarizing it all, our three teams won together 53 out of 57 court games during the season passed-and two city championships-besides laying a just claim to two northern state titles. It surely has been the most successful season St. Ignatius ever had. , Baseball With at least a month ls practice behind them, our base- ball stars are displaying rare form and ability in the na- tional pastime. The team captained by Jeff Gaffney, will make a strong and determined bid for the S. F. A. L. honors. ln fact, ae- cording to present reports its all over but the shouting . Never have prospects looked so encouraging as in the pres- ent season, and Mr. Sullivan, S. J., Athletic Moderator, is confident that our pastimers will make their presence felt. The infield has bee11 greatly improved over last year. MSU? :eng S05 3'9- ..::5' fffgau egg mmm 'f K nwo -Sl-5 rw? N-fl: '25 Sw :r?E, Em -45. E. ue 11951103 al!! 1!S UH US Lin: 0315 --:5' WW?

Dave Clancy will canvass the short patch. This combina- tion completes practically an air-tight inner defense, and providing the t'breaks are evenly distributed-they will cut off many a hit and bring' home many a victory. The outer defense is niuch stronger than usual. With Kell stationed in left and Capt. Gaffney in center, few flies will get by to do any damage. Ghirardelli, Olson, Meany, Loughery and a host of others are fighting it out for the right field position. Kelly and Ryan will form the regular battery. Formerly an infielder, Kelly has been pitching splendid ball during his brief career and looks better than most of the other high school twirlers, MeSweeney, Kell, and McGrorey, all mounds- men of ability and experience, are ready to relieve him at any moment. A good defensive and offensive team and strengthened by splendid pitching, the S. l. nine has more than an even chance to pilfer the S. F. A. L. pennant, in the approaching tournament. Interclass Basketball Due probably to the precedent set by the Juniors for the last three years, the present class of '22 won the annual bas- ket championship and the Austin T. Howard Trophy. The supremacy was settled in their favor when the Juniors sue- ceeded in snatching an eleventh hour victory from the Seni- ors-although previously considered rank short enders. The final score was 21-17. The Seniors showed a poor brand of basketball, but gave promise of being whirlwinds along are gumentative lines. The real features of the contest was the steady, consistent playing of the third year men. The Sophs were downed by the Freshmen-after a hard fought football game-by a final ll-9 rally. Numerals were awarded to the winners. HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS 105 Interclass Baseball Owing to the lateness of the season and the l'aet that the interelass would interfere with the practice ot' the high school nine, only two games were run off to decide the an- nual championship. The Seniors, by virtue of a 14 to l win over the lowly Freshmen-played the third year men for the coveted base- ball laurels. Smarting under the defeat handed in the basketball finals, the HG1'HdllkIf6'Si' retaliated by putting over a -1 to Z victory on the Juniors. Kelly pitched good ball for the win- ners. McSweeney, who opposed him, lost the contest through unsteadiness. The score is a good criterion ol' the game. Snappy fielding and timely hitting featured. Interclass Track President's Day-May 6-has been set aside for the ln- terclass Track Meet. Since the lgnatian goes to press before the results will be known, we can only offer a. little 'tdopeu on the proba- ble outcome. A good deal ot' class and competition is expected in the Senior Meet when the Juniors and Seniors clash on the ein- der path. ln past years the third year men have usually managed to come out ahead in the figuringAbut it is doubt- ful if they can repeat. Prospects look exceedingly bright for the Graduates. 'XVith Ryan, O'Gara, C'unningham. Lane, f'uliinan. Quinlan, Devine, all point men-the 4th year scholars seem to have an unbeatable aggregation. Gaffney is good for at least ten points for the Juniors. while Hamilton, Sullivan, Mor1'issey, Theis, Maeliin, and a few others will help to augment the total to a winning score. The Junior Meet will probably be Well taken care of by the Soplis-although the Freshman are liable to slip over at surprise and win their coveted numerals. George F. lXleC'ormielt.
