Curran, SJ., Casey, Gallagher Toolan, Owens, Healy Mullane O'ReiIly, Gallagher Casey ..,...-.4 ARLY in the first half of our Senior year a new academy took its place in the field of Regis extra-curricula, lt was to serve as corollary training with the regular Senior history course, while remaining distinct, in that the required research work would have to be done in addition to the regular work. Father Burke had long realized that such an academy would be of bene- fit in broadening its members' knowledge of European affairs by a retrospect into the high- lights of the last four hundred years. He en- trusted the difficult problem of choosing mem- bers and the pleasant duty of conducting the in- formal gatherings to Mr, Curran, S..l. At each weekly meeting four members dis- cuss a pre-assigned phase of some definite period in history and after each presentation our mod- erator gives a brief criticism. On April l7, the academy, represented by Messrs. Gallagher, Casey, Mullane, Owens and Toolan successfully conducted its first public symposium before the school, their subject, the history of some accom- plishments of the Jesuits since their foundation 400 years ago.
