Mntoi rsitg Nnti s Faculty Changes The joy of returning to College after the rest- less days of vacation was considerably lessened this year by the loss — I might say of a corps of Jes- uit Fathers who were most successful in guiding our yet unsteady footsteps and who have left memories ever to be cherished by all of us. Father Eline, the real friend of the fellows, has been succeeded by Father Sullivan as Vice- President of the University. Father Hayes from St. Ignatius relieves Fath- er O ' Keefe as Dean of the Law School. The members of the House of Philhis- torians will miss their zealous Speaker, Father Flynn, who has been sent to Los Angeles. After six years of teaching at Santa Clara, Father E. J. Whelan has left for Spain where he will study The- ology. Every minute of his time was spent amongst us doing good for some one, a virtue cold words cannot ade- quately begin to praise. Fathers Dunne and McGarrigle have also journeyed to Europe to complete their studies. The Preps will long remember their Ath- letic Moderator, Father McElmeel, who is now stationed in St. Louis. Coming to us as new Professors are Fathers Donovan, Meagher, Kennedy, O ' Con- nell, Egan and Mullen. oi. J . The first meeting of the Student . . -, o -, T3 A M M.

He was followed in his remarks by Student Manager James ' Connor, who pointed out the difficul- ties which would necessarily arise this year, due to the change from Rugby to American football, and exhorted the students to a whole-hearted support of the team, the coach, and their Alma Mater. Father J. ' Connell, our new Moder- ator of Athletics, was then introduced, and in a few words outlined the foot- ball situation, assuring the student body that all efforts would be made to secure the best that could be had in the 24
