Of noble endeavors that heighten her praise Of the brave, the undaunted, the chasubled knight, True son of Loyola, determined to fight And still to fight failure until he achieved The promising heights and the plan he conceived! Ah, say, in the midst of the fury and sound. Where sham and self-seeking and envy abound Does a pure heroism exalt us like wine? Does our just pride ci-y out: Here ' s a brother of mine?

The occasion which prompted us to inaugurate this new activity, was the Golden Anniversary of the founding of Boston College, and the dawn of the newer and brighter life, in its worthier home. Another more personal motive was that we ourselves might have, as it were, a treasury of the happenings Under the Tower during the four brightest years in our lives, — and possess a lasting record of our classmates, their achievements great and small, during our close companionship. The expectations of our fellows, and the greatness of the occasion, make us feel the more the imperfection of our work. However, we frankly state that its greatest claim to praise lies, not in its own merit, for we realize only too well how deficient it is in that respect, but in its being the first of its kind here; in its showing to later classes possibilities of development without which aid they might hesitate long before venturing upon such unknown waters. As we, its editors, find in its youth its greatest merit, on the other hand we beg you, its readers, to ascribe to its youth, and to its youth alone, its many faults. And you, our classmates, if in years to come you should take this volume from its dusty resting-place, and by perusing its contents live over again some of the scenes of these happy days, and enjoy the pleasures of reminiscence, we will feel that it has accomplished its purpose. This book as you view it now is the best possible product of our abilitj ' , under the existing circumstances of inexperience and limita- tions of time. So with charity to all, we submit to you the result of our labor of love, and will feel in j our appreciation our ample reward.

On the grass-clad hilltop, where chestnut and maple blow. And the groping elm-trees yearn to the mother-green below, Embodied in marble and granite, throned on the lake ' s clear blue, Real as the sky and the sunshine, the Dream that we dared is come true. It is builded, our stately cloister, where Wisdom makes her home. The stem-like columns flower into arch and sculptured dome. The pillared halls are vaulted and lofty like the night And each embrasured window is a rose of rainbow light. Behold the court of science, and yonder the house of art ; And higher yet, God ' s altar, aflame with the Sacred Heart. Here Goodness, Truth and Beauty are worshipped as one, not three. And Faith companions Reason ; and Order, Liberty. Here echoes the mystic Word which only the angels ken ; Here beckons a Light to the Gentiles. The Rabbi is teaching again. The children of men are patterned on a God self-sacrificed, And the circle of life is centered and squared on the Cross of Christ. In the glowing forge of boyhood, tomorrow is wrought today. What we think in our hearts, we shall be, we create when we dream or pray. So we pay our debt to the future, that righteousness may not cease ; Humanity here is drilled to fight for the Prince of Peace. Soldiers, equipped, alert, mount guard at the Gate of Truth, The Company of Jesus, the living fort of youth. Scholars are they and priests, yet ever, and foremost, chums, For goodly and great is learning, but love can solve all sums : And these serve under Him Whom only love can reach And who came as a friend to friends, since only a friend can teach.

Patriarch, prophet and psalmist, to each our lines we trace. Flesh of our flesh is the beauty that was Mary ' s virgin face. Ours is the flock and fold of the spotless Lamb of God; We gave to Christ the blood that drenched Golgotha ' s sod. Life gives and is given forever to foil the miser. Death. Love is the price of living and breath is spent for breath. .What yet may we give, dear Lord, that is worthy in Thy sight? In Thy name, all we have, all we are, we proffer our College tonight. Lord, hear the prayer of Thy people. At Thy heart we have kindled a star. Let its radiance grow in the darkness ' till all men sight it afar And are drawn to the Flame that feeds it, to the Light the world has lacked. And the shadows pass and the semblance and we face the Eternal Fact.

It is especially fitting that the class of 1913, the binding link which unites the old home with the new, should tell this graphic story of fifty years of progress and achievement. The Jesuits came to Boston in 1847 at the invitation of Bishop Fitzpatrick and they settled at St. Mary ' s in the North End under the leadership of Father McElroy, S.J. The rapid growth of the parish and the desire of Father McElroy to open a school for boj s made it imperative to purchase additional property. Accoi ' dingly land was purchased on Harrison Avenue for the future Boston College on August 1st, 1857. The untiring efforts and the willing sacrifice of Father McElroy were rewarded by the completion of the buildings in 1859. The old college building was somewhat smaller than the present one on James Street. At that time it embraced that portion which is now the central portion of the later building, so that those rooms occupied by the college classes at present, the library and the chapel, were added several years later. Opening in 1860 as a house of studies for members of the Jesuit Order, it did not assume its present character until 1864, when on September 5th, a score or more of day scholars were enrolled in its catalogue. On April 1st of the previous year the college received its charter from the State of Massachusetts, with the power to confer degrees, except Medical degrees. The aim and purpose of the training at Boston College has always been not proxiinately to fit the student :•••••••• ••••••• ••••••• ••••••••■  •••• • ••••••••••«• 5 a S r 2 4 for some special employment or profession, but to give him a gen- eral, vigorous, and rounded devel- opment as will enable him to cope successfully even with the unfore- seen emergencies of life. The lay- ing of a solid sub-structure in the mind for any super-structure of science, professional or special, also for the molding of correct moral, civil, and religious principles, is in short the purpose of all Jesuit teaching. To this end a prescribed course was offered. The curriculum included instruction in the classical languages, poetry, rhetoric, and a tiiorough training in philosophy. Since that time, the course has been somewhat varied. Father Bapst, the famous victim of the Knownothing outbreaks in Maine, assumed charge in 1862 and remained as the head of Boston College until 1869. He was suc- ceeded by Father Fulton, who is probably the best known Jesuit Boston College has ever had as its President. Famous for his spark- ling wit and his ability as an organ- izer, his name is still upon the lips of many Boston Catholics. During his long term of office he founded the Young Men ' s Catholic Associa- tion, which has since become a worthy adjunct of the college. Although the attendance at the College in the early days was very small, we find that the students were very active in athletics and dramatics. The Shakespearean dramas, as well as farce comedies, were frequently presented by the students. The Georgetown Window, Library, New Boston College f a g p 2 5 Previous to 1877 no degrees were conferred, for the course was in- complete until that year. But in June of that year degrees were con- ferred for the first time upon the graduates. In September, 1879, the original classical course was some- what extended and was made to include English, Sciences, and Mod- ern Languages. It seems hardly credible that forty years ago tlie combined attendance at the High School and College was less than 150. The youth of those days were just as anxious for holidays as their children, for the records show thai when the student body reached tlie 150 mark a holiday was sought from the Reverend President. When Father Fulton ended his term as President in 1881, until his return in 1888, the college had dur- ing the interval four ditterent lead- ers. Fathers O ' Connor, Broussard, Stack, and Russo. During the terms of these presidents many activities were initiated. The true life of no school is bounded by the chart- hung walls of its class-rooms. Mu- sic, Literature, and Athletics re- ceived a special cultivation. The football and baseball teams of the 80 ' s won many games on gridiron and diamond from the colleges and universities of the East. Societies of many kinds, rooted in the spon- taneous enthusiasm of the pupils, sprang into existence under the prudent encouragement of the fac- ulty. Parliamentary discussion and the drama found many votaries. The Stylus, which was founded by The Baltimore Window, Library, New Boston College giubuturri 3 agf2fi the class of 1884, reflected the general culture and work of the students. Father Fulton returned as President in 1888. The following year an addition was put on the old building to meet the growing needs of the college. Attracted by the thorough intellectual and moral training received in this institution, the number of scholars was steadily increasing. In 1890 there were 290 students in both schools. The Boys ' Debating Society became known as the Fulton in 1890 and at this time inaugurated the practice of public debates. Among the list of prize winners we read the names of many men who have become a prominent phase of the college life. The dramas produced under Professor Willis have received the highest praise from the dramatic critics. These years were fruitful in other honors for the college. The athletic contests of the 90 ' s ring with nothing but victories for Maroon and Gold. Holy Cross and Boston University were no match for the sturdy athletes from Boston College, who like Caesar cut through forest and impassable ways and chronicled nothing but victories in their contests. Father Fulton was succeeded by Father Devitt who held the office of President from 1891 to 1894. His successor was Father Brosnahan. The steady growth of the college made it necessary in 1898 for the Young Men ' s Catholic Association to seek new quarters. In that year the combined attendance had swelled to 450. During the period from 1898 to 1906, under the leadership of Fathers Mullan and Gannon, the college was expanding steadily. In 1905 the attendance was proxi- mitely 600. On the 6th of January, 1907, when Father Gasson assumed the presidency of Boston College the new era of expansion began. In the past the growth while a healthy and a virile one was at the same time a slow one. But the new President, a tireless educator, whose existence, energy, and talents are given entirely to the training of youth, inaugur- ated new ideas and new methods in the College. Assisted by a brilliant corps of professors, every department began to show evidence of remarkable growth. In 1909 the Freshman class numbered nearly 100, which is in striking contrast to 150 in the four classes in 1900. The energetic efforts of Mr. Cox, S. J., contributed to the molding of the Marquette Debating Society into an excellent club, whose teams have won two decisions from outside colleges. Much credit is due the same man for the formation of the Knights of the Blessed Sacrament. In this society several students are enrolled, and it has for its end increased devotion to Christ in Holy Communion. In 1910 the first home night was held and it has resulted in forming a closer connec- tion between the Alumni and Undergraduates. Intercollegiate debating agf2r S ub3Iurrt has become a distinctive feature of college activities within the last three years. Athletics have been revived and under suitable instructors our teams are among the best in the state. This remarkable growth within the small compass of two years convinced Father Gasson that the building was fast becoming too small for the expansion of the College. Besides, the President had alwaj ' s cherished the idea of separating the College from the High School. Accordingly, in 1907 forty acres of land were purchased at Newton. The call of Father Gasson for aid was responded to cheerfully by thousands. The spontaneous generosity of the Alumni, the Young Men ' s Catholic Association, and the Catholics in genei-al, shows that the new project was heartily approved. Early in 1908 a contest was started in which several prominent architects competed. A prize of one thousand dollars was offered to the firm which submitted the best set of plans for the new college. The first prize was awarded to Magcnnis and Walsh of Boston. The remarkable possibilities of the site instantly fired the artistic imagin- ation. It was early decided that the scheme should be a Gothic ,one. The plan suggests a mcdia?val cathedral, arranged in longtitudinal and transverse axes with the recitation building, surmounted by a Gothic tower, the dominating center of the group. The style of architecture embodies the historic sentiment of college life. Those who have visited Oxford, Bryn Mawr, or Princeton, know the charming academic flavor of the collegiate gothic. The plans also call for faculty, science and athletic buildings, together with a beautiful students ' chapel. The campus will occupy the east side of the hill with a broad outlook on the reservoir. One section has been reserved for a football field and diamond. In another part will be the quarter-mile cinder track, and 220-yard stretches for dashes. An ideal spot has been selected for the erection of a magnifi- cent stadium. Since the first spade of earth was turned for the construction of the first building the attendance at James Street has been increasing in leaps and bounds. In 1911 the catalogue showed that there were over one thousand students in the combined schools. During the present year it grew larger so that evei-y available place is used to accommodate the students. The present enrollment is 363 in College — 837 in High School. The recitation building is now completed. Situated on a broad eminence and flanked by most artistic scenery it stands out tall and magnificent. From its class-rooms the most exquisite panorama meets the eye. Close at hand is the reservoir skirted on all sides by beautiful ubSurrt Pagp2 shade trees and delightful walks. Off in the distance are the neighbor- ing cities of Cambridge and Brookline, and beyond the hazy blue outline of the hills which encircle the suburbs. The building itself is made of brightened rubble-stone. The Roman arch occupies a con- spicuous place in the adornment of the building. In the frequent windows of the rotunda the arch is used to perfection. The filigree work and delicate tracery on the tower are distinctive features of the building. During the present year Boston College has added another depart- ment to its course of instruction. Father Fortier, who came to Boston in October, began a numbe r of evening classes. They are open to men holding A. B. degrees or to those who have not completed their college course. Instruction is given in medical and legal ethics, and higher philosophy. Those who complete this course receive an A. M. degree. The instruction in the other class embraces a course in schol- astic philosophy, and its graduates receive an A. B. degree. Today Alma Mater is on the threshold of another half-century of existence. Under what auspicious circumstances she begins the journey! With her students occupying the beautiful building just completed, and surrounded by all the beauties nature could offer, the expansion is bound to be a vigorous and healthy one. The fifty years which arc over were years of struggles and hardships. The location on James Street had necessitated certain restrictions in expansion. Lack of facilities and room have retarded the growth of the college in the recent past. With the completion of the first building at University Heights the expansion is bound to be rapid and extensive. On that artistic eminence is reared a new citadel of learning, a monument to the cause of Catholic education. Here the sons of Catholic parents will learn the lessons that will make them better men and better citizens, proud of their faith and proud of their country. To her, the class of ' 13, the youngest graduates from the new home, will turn for counsel. To Alma Mater we will turn to inspire us to the love of all that is high, true, and noble. Fittingly indeed may we end this tale of Boston College ' s past, by quoting the simple words which on the informal opening of the new college last month thrilled the souls of its Seniors. Never shall we forget that scene; we, the proud heirs of the past, led simply into the possessi on of our glorious dwelling by the learned yet humble Jesuit by whose untiring efforts this massive pile was erected. He led us into the rotunda, gathered us around him, and there with the a g p 2 9 S ' ab ®urrt warm and brilliant raj ' s of a welcoming sun streaming down upon him like the benediction of God, he said to us : Gentlemen of the Class of 1913: This is a historic moment. We now informally take possession of this noble building, which has been erected for the greater glory of God — for the spread of the true faith, for the cultivation of solid knowledge, for the development of genuine science, and for the constant study of those ideals which make for an exalted personal uprighteousness and for lofty civic integrity. May this building ever have upon it the special blessing of the Most High, may it ever be a cause of joy to the Church and her illustrious rulers, a source of spiritual and intellectual strength to the faithfid, a protecting bulwark against all foes for the State of which we are justly proud, and for the country which we all most ardently love.

As yet they are comparatively few in number, but what tliey lack in this respect they more than make up for in the strength of devotion that they have ever manifested towards their Alma Mater. They have not grown strong under her sheltering wing and then like ungrateful children, turned their backs upon her forever. Not they! They have taken all that she had to give and been deeply thankful for it. They have watched with anxious eye the days of her weakness; they have labored under difficulties, and toiled unceasingly that she might grow; and it is only through their efforts that her future has been assured. They have made plans, thej have wrestled with pro- blems that might well prove the grave of a less noble cause, and now as a result of it all a majestic building towers in stately splendor at the beautiful University Heights. Not satisfied, they have gone a step further; they have resolved to raise the huge sum of $100,000 and present it to Father Rector on the day of the dedication of the new building. Our most esteemed alumnus. His Eminence, William Cardinal O ' Connell, has blessed their plan, and in behalf of higher Catholic education, has seconded his approval by the bountiful gift of $1000. They are noble of heart, these members of the Alumni Association and of the Boston College Club of Cambridge. Loyal and energetic citizens, uprighteous in their dealings with their fellow men, and suc- cessful in their chosen fields of activity, they have won the esteem of all who know them. Marked by a spirit of progressiveness in behalf of the right and a spirit of generosity, they are dear to Boston College. And we, the members of this year ' s Senior Class, who are soon to join their ranks, have all their plans at heart and wish them success in all that they may undertake. ' ' omt Nig!)t T is everything tliat the words suggest. It is that night of nights, that comes but once a year, wlien all the sons of Boston College, who have gone out from her portals, return home once more and renew to their Alma Mater their pledges of filial devotion. It is the only occasion in the year that the three elements of Boston College assemble in friendly intercourse; Faculty, alumni, and students are there and all unite to make the evening one to be remembered in the annals of the College. Class-mates, long separated, meet once more; the Faculty and Alumni renew acquaintances; and the new students among the undergraduates are given a chance to extend the circle of their friends and thus do away with the reticence that is naturally theirs among strangers. Then, too, at these Home Nights one gets to love Boston College moi-e and more: the seeds of loyalty and devotion are scattered broadcast and the harvest is shortly forthcoming. The entertainment pi-ovided on these occasions for the past two years was of the highest type of the humorous. No one, who has attended the first and possibly last commencement exercises of Notsob College can forget the merriment that that performance gave rise to. Mr. Daniel Gallagher, President periculo facto of Notsob College deserves great credit for his masterly superinten- dence of details. Shall we ever forget the whirlwind of laughter that greeted his announcement at the last Home Night , that Notsob College was finished both substantially and accidentally ? And the debate of the Full-tone Debating Society ! Such eloquence and brilliant oratory! Every argument was so to the point ; tlie debaters were clear in their exposition of the question, admonishing the audience to be sure that they got the point well into their heads , and reminding them that the point at issue was over the heads of the women . And the rebuttal was very punc-tilious , to be sure. Each debater was extremely c areful to argue only on the question and on nothing else; and in this they succeeded — pretty well. The wit and humor running through the whole affair was brilliant and everybody was delighted. We hope that the success of the affair will be duplicated at our next Home Night . This little account would be indeed incomplete unless was spoken a word of praise and appreciation of Mr. Ignatius W. Cox, through whose well-directed effort this reorganization of the alumni was begun and completed. Ci)e BSoston College Clut of Cambritise ROM the verj ' earliest days in the tale of Boston College, the Catholic community of Cambridge has had representation in its student life. Year after year, earnest, clear-headed and enthusiastic j ouths have joiu ' nej ' ed froni the north side of the Charles seeking and finding education and moral strength to meet courageouslj the difhculties of life ' s pathways. The clergy, the professions of medicine and law, the business arena number these students in their ranks, and one of these Cambridge boys has had tlie distinctive privilege of serving as President of his Alma Mater. The Cambridge contingent, small at the beginning, has grown with the growth of the college until in the present year of 1913 it comprises almost one-fourth of the entire student body. This creditable representation is by no means for- tuitous but must be ascribed to the excellence of Boston College in the first instance, and then to that rarest of virtues — happily nurtured in Cambridge, — ap})reciation. In the passage of the years it became more and more evident that the bringing together in social and fraternal intercourse, of former students ought to result in increasing and lasting benefit to the college itself and be a prolific source of satisfaction to all. Some adventitious circimistance was needed, however, to serve as an incentive to organ- ization, and the decision of the college authorities to begin the erection of the new college at University Heights answered that purpose. It is not known who first conceived the idea of the Boston College Club of Cambridge. Indeed, the desirability of such an organization seems to have been brooding, or rather seething, in the minds of many former students, and thus when the call for support in the erection of the new Boston College was issued it received a ready response from Cambridge. Thereupon the Club was formed in the belief that, through its activity, this support might be more effective. On April 30, 1908, a meeting was held at St. Mary ' s Gymnasium at which the organization was effected. The By-Laws declare that the object of the Club is to foster in all legitimate and practical ways the interests of Boston College. The membership is of a two-fold character, — a regular member- ship limited to any person of good character who has attended with credit one or more courses at Boston College; and an associate mem- bership open to any man, approved by the Board of Directors, who g ubJFurrt agpBfi shows himself to be in favor of the object of the Club, by contributing, through the Club, to the Boston College Building Fund. Beginning with a membership of fifteen it now numbers on its rolls over one hundred and twenty-five men, — sympathizers with the purposes and aims of the college. Throughout its existence the Club has aimed to keep in active touch with its objects. In all movements for the furtherance of the college its members have taken an honorable part, and have given the strongest evidence of a willingness to assist and encourage. On the occasion of the first garden part} ' held at the College grounds, in June, 1908, shortly after the organization, it was repre- resented, and to such an extent that the College treasury was richer by $1100.00, that being the largest sum returned by any organization. Again, in 1909, the Club led all competitors by a net return of $950.00, and in 1910, its members had the privilege and pleasure of transmitting $1050.00. In 1911 and 1912, substantial amounts have likewise been sent to the College treasury. In the belief that the literary and dramatic features of Boston College were worthy of particular notice, the Club has always dis- plaj ed a sjiecial interest in the Shakespearean plays at the College. The pi ' oduction of Hamlet in 1909 was so noteworthy that a request was made to Father Gasson to allow its presentation in Cambridge. This request being granted, for the first time in the history of Boston College, her students were permitted an opportunity to show their histrionic abilities outside of the College stage. Aquinas Hall in Cam- bridge, the largest auditorium in the cit} was placed at the disposal of the Club, and an audience which taxed its capacity favored the young players. The success of this effort prompted another request to the authorities in 1910, when The Merchant of Venice was most success- fully presented. Through these opportunities the people of Cain- bridge became educated to a belief in the capacity and ability of Boston College students, and it is confidently anticipated that much interest has been aroused in College affairs. In all its undertakings, social or financial, the Club has been assisted by the many ladies whom it has been privileged to include among its most earnest supporters. Each recurring call upon them for support has seemed to only increase their splendid enthusiasm, and no small part of the Club ' s success depends upon their cooperation and efforts. This, in brief, is the story of the Cambridge Club. Conceived in a desire to assist Alma Mater, it has not forgotten its purpose. May it not long be alone among Boston College district organizations for the purpose of aiding in all legitimate and practical ways the interests of Boston College. Edward J.

ED REGGIE BOUCH aLOYSIUS Marquette (i, 2) Fulton (3, 4) It gives us great pleasure, gentle reader, to introduce to you our dear friend and classmate, Edmund Russell alias Aloysius Boucher. This name was added by our Psychology Pi-of, despite Ed ' s opposition to Latin text- book, which opposition succumbed finally to certain a Fortieri argu- ments. Ed takes particular pleas- ure in art; this predilection was not inborn in him but originated rather precipitately. One morning he made the acquaintance of a fair student of the Normal Art School, who claims to have come originally from Hingham; and ever since Ed has seen fit to act in the capacity of critic of her paintings. Ed is also somewhat of a connoisseur of architecture and claims that in Boston there are no better examples of beautiful architecture than the annex to the Girls ' High School, the Franklin Square House, and the Posse Gym- nasium. These he pauses frequently to admire and comment at length on their intrinsic beauties. He has likewise dabbled in literature, being the author of a very interesting work entitled A Vision in Blue, or The Mysterious Lady from Fitchburg, a romance in which we are prone to believe Ed himself has played the leading role. We make no prediction as to Ed ' s future — we leave that to the Class Prophet — but we have our own opinion, based on Ed ' s many and wistful glances at the august buildings on Lake St., Brighton. a g P 4 3 u h ® u r r i FREDERICK WILLIAM BRADY 3RN Nov. 12, 1S90, Lowell, Mass. KINK BRAD Associate Editor Sub Turri (4) Look not, or critics, witli disdain upon these benign I ' eatures for Freddie is not as simple as he looks! The childlike innocence, which you note playing about his features, is onh assumed for more reasons than one. In reality, however, he is the real live wire of the class. We first gazed upon Fred ' s saintly counten- ance at the beginning of the second term of Junior year. Prior to that time Fred had pulled through Holy Cross where he intended finishing with magna cum laude honors had he had control over his stomach. Alas! that jiart of Brad ' s anatonry failed to work in harmony with the cranium. Hence our daily glimpses of Kink ' s aforesaid phj ' siognomy. Glimpses is right, as Fred barelj ' comes in during Ethics, sits in the last row in Psychology, in the first seat in Astronomy, and then disappears. Fred ' s specialties are numerous and char- acteristic. His list of specialties being too lengthy, we can only mention the most prominent. Chief among these are his love (?) desire (? ?) and joj ' ( ' ? ? ?) in mental work of the most abstract and philosophical kind, as proved by his serious expression and the number of text-books carried at all times but generally on entering the class-room in the morning. That Fred is a shark in Astronomj goes without saying. His quick and correct answers in this line prove our assertion. As sub-president, F. W. Brady is without a peer. Truly another Solomon ! Incidentally it is partly due to him that this arduous undertaking of ours came to be realized. Concluding this epitaph, let us add that outside these good qualities, Kink has the extreme defect of being a jolly good fellow. § u h S « r r i a g p 4 4 THOMAS JAMES BRENNAN Born Dec. ;i, New York City Adv, Manager Stylus (3) Dramatics (i) Assist.

As a Freshman he helped Davis of Lynn to pitcli his famous no-hit, no-run game by striking out three times. But the field, on which he preferred to shine was not that of the diamond, but of the rostrum, always holding a prominent place in our debating societies, especially during his Sophomore year. His rhetoric teacher once advised him to recite all his speeches to his cook before giving them in public, and if they were plain to her, he need have no fear of his audience not understanding him. To his vigorous application to this rule — much to the discom- fiture of the cook — do we attribute the simplicity and clearness of his speeches. During his Junior year he planted the seed for a Progressive party — long before Roosevelt ever dreamt of it — but it was either poor farming on his part, or else an off- year on his particular product. Though nursed and guarded by him for some time, his seed never ripened into the beautiful plant which he had hoped to make it. He was an active member in class affairs, and his fellow-classmates wish him success in whatsoever field of endeavor he may choose to enter. a g E 4 5 ub ®urri FRANCIS ALOYSIUS BURKE Born Oct. 29, 1S87, Brookline, Mass.

Turn not over this page before liaving read of a friend- ship tliat obscures the friendship of David and Jonatlian as the sun out- sliines the stars. The ditty at the head of this page expresses the uni- son which exists between Francis A. Burke, our present subject, and Thomas L. Gannon. Cicero would have written a better De Amicitia could he have observed the daily chats between these two in class. And such chats! Indeed, so soulful and hearty are they that ma ny a time and oft have they called forth the professors ' ire. Hush! It has even been whispered that they have on a few occasions been mistaken for the Siamese twins ! Another of Frank ' s characteristics is his business ability. In those college activities in which he was interested he has been largely successful. Credit is especially due to him for his work as baseball manager. A better schedule than this year ' s schedule is hard to find, considering the dithculties which had to be overcome. His work as chairman of the Intercollegiate Debating Committee is also very worthy of praise. Frank is known as a hustler. Always on the jump, he may be often seen with a reporter ' s notebook in hand and scribbling away. As press-agent he has more than done his share in putting B. C. on the map. We, his classmates, are all confident and hope that he will hit his mark. § u b 21 u r r t a a p 4 H JOHN BERNARD CASEY JACK Born March 14, 1S91, Haverhill, Mass. Dance Com.

From the outset he became a prime favorite with his fellow- students, and his frankness and cor- dialitj ' never failed to win him a place in the hearts of all with whom he came in contact. Nor was their confidence in liini misphiccd, for during his four years with us, he has been a tireless worker in the interests of both the class and college, ever eager to lend his assistance towards the successful completion of all our undertakings, even though they look in the beginning as if they might eventuate in our funeral.

(2, 3, 4) Bill is a living proof of the fact that one does not have to be noisj% boister- ous, or a politician to be popular with the boys to the extent of being made Class Secretary — a position requir- ing much vigilance and care. His life here has been placid and far from the maddening crowd ' s ignoble strife. He never troubled trouble till trouble troubled him — but this j ear the class drew him from his solitude — with absolutely no solicitation on his part, and thrust upon his shoulder the activities and worries of an official position. Besides this. Bill has the qualities of a good student as offered to our contemplation in their ideal perfection in the person of Doc Phelan, but not to the same extent as our Beadle. He does absolutely everything in the line of study and such a distinction deserves special notice in this year-book. He enjoys the reputation of being the only Secretary who has not been obliged to change his minutes after submitting them to the class for approval. One reason we could advance for this phenomenon is our confidence in the correctness and accuracy of the same. Another is that the class has been too busy to bother about them at all — being more interested in what the Future holds for us than what the Past has handed us. Bill ' s motto seems to be, I meddle with no man ' s business but my own — a very good one, as the class ' s giving into his hands the records of its business, proves. Still our advice to Bill is to make a little more noise . u b 01 u r r i a g F 4 B EDWARD G. CONNELLY Born June 7, li Sub Turri Staff (4) College Nigln Com.

He is a charter member of the Par- thenon Club where Ed., even as Dr. Jolmson of old who was, you know, funniest when eating, presides in state. The other members become each a Boswell, and thus are his words of wisdom preserved for future generations. As Sub Beadle, he has performed the arduous duties of that ollice in a manner satisfactory to all. Indeed at the end of the first term it was the almost unanimous (but one dissenting vote was heard) opinion of tlie class that his past services should be rewarded by advancing him to the niore important post of Beadle. The Psychology of the Spitball is his favorite study. Often he may be seen surroimded by an inquisitive gathering of his fellow- students, propounding the psychological reasons why his fellow-towns- man Marty O ' Toole, the - 22,000 beauty, gave twenty-seven bases on balls and was retired in the third inning the day before. Ed. considers a dime spent on Pschj ' cologj Induc- tion papers a great investment. In fact, his highest ambition is to please Fr. Horter. He is moreover endowed with a marked capac- ity for business, whicli bore into the Year Book ' s treasurjr a tidy sum and which, coupled with Ed. ' s ability as a litterateur, caused the Committee to seek him out as our Assistant Editor and augment its number to include him. a g P 4 9 g u b 01 u r r t THOMAS NEILL CREED TOMMIE TOMMIE NEIL Born July i, 1S93, South Boston, Mass.

Tom ' s future is far from uncertain, a great future in fact, is already assured him. For a well known politician is reported to have said that Mr. Moloney will make him his secretary when Joe becomes Mayor of Boston. For his future work Tom has well prepared himself, having a definite aim in all his studies. His purpose in attending the Italian class is to act as door- keeper and frequently draws many encomiums from Fr. Brett for the quiet way in which he performs this duty. Ho attends the Astronomy class to cooperate with Fr. Cusick in keeping order in the back row. He is a favorite with Fr. Cusick, who not seldom delays in the middle of an explanation to send Tom on various errands to Fr. Green. The reason for Tom ' s presence in the remaining classes is not yet quite clear to the editors. But in the study of Ethics Tom is there. We don ' t exactly know why Fr. Brett placed him there, but we suspect it was because Tom was inculcating sotto voce too many false doctrines in his neighbors. g « b 3[ u r r t a g p 5 D JOHN PATRICK CURLEY Born June 2, 1S91, Newport, R.

I., was put on the map when on the second day of June in the year 1891, John Patrick Curley, artist and literary genius, made his debut into this world of trouble. John is an artist by nature, as we have it from good authority that the first thing he did was to draw his breath, and since then he has been equally successful in drawing cartoons and the attention of the ladies. He first came into prominence as a litterateur when his beautiful poem on Autumn appeared in the Stijhis in his Freshman year. He still keeps up his literarj ' work as one of the editors of the Stylus, and is now contemplating writing a book, the title of which is Study as a Minor Part of a College Course, a subject with which he is very well acquainted and to which he can do great justice. Though laying no claim to be an athlete (a thing which we may attribute to his modest and retiring nature) John is the undisputed golf champion of the class and could easily find a berth upon the Varsity baseball team were his other duties less pressing. As manager of the Varsitj football he showed great executive ability. John leaning toward astronomy and it is rumorc during the coming summer he will spend much of his time in Utica in order that he may the more easily observe the Mars. John is one man in the class before whom we can see several most success- ful futures. He is a Newton Newkirk, as some of our write-ups show; a Joe Welch, as our memories recall, and a Bud Fisher, as ovir cartoons testify, combined, and yet we understand he is going to follow up neither of these talents.

Jim first opened his eyes on Noddle Island, on November 17, 1890, and has kejit them open ever since, lest Op- portunity catch him napping in her • ' once-in-a-lifetimc visit. Jim ad- mits a propensity for athletics, sur- passed only by that for oratory and Italian, which latter is, incidentally, some propensity. He is also on in- timate terms with Shakespeare and secured special permission from the author, (in a Midsunnner Night ' s Dream ) to play the role of Macduff in the 1912 production of Macbeth. If you would spend a quiet evening with Jim, you might get him started on The Value of Oratory to the College Man, but if you would talk of La Lingua Italiana to him, get the boss to give you a week ' s vacation, and then — lend him your ears. You may get them back at the end of the week, but we doubt whether they will ever again be able to understand English. Many reasons are ascribed for Jim ' s all-consuming devotion to this study. Some assert that he wants the Italian vote when he runs for Governor, and some do not hesitate to hint that a dark-eyed, olive-skinned signorina from sunny Italy is at the bottom of it all. But ones who believe nil sine ratione sufliciente, find a more satisfactory ex- planation of his zeal in the belief that next summer will find him going to roam. It seems, however, that the question must remain unsolved for the immediate present, for Jim only smiles mysteriously, with a far-away look in his eyes, when you ask him the. wherefore. g u h 21 u r r t a g p 5 2 JOHN SAMUEL DONOVAN Born May 21, 1891 Kid.

The Par- thenon attracts him daily and he can be fonnd there with a choice gathering of admirers (of his cigars) which he distributes rather freely, — not because free to him, but because there is always more where those came from. Jack believes firmly that Man ' s- field is his home and is a strong advocate of installing a sub postal station here in the College, since much of his mail has been delayed in transit owing to lack of this convenience. His other occupation is ti-jdng to induce some one to play billiards, but he is rarely successful as his skill in this game is well known. The last of the above nicknames is his, because he spends the summer at Nantasket. He wishes to take this medium to deny that that is all he spends there. The Editors ' attempts to obtain anyone to write up his serious side ended in a fruitless search. Even Fr. Brett was appealed to, but he gave his appreciation of Mr. Donovan in a spoken encomium that we all remember too well to require repetition. There is one sphere, however, in which it would be hard to find Mr. Donovan ' s peer, and that is in the giddy whirl of a society femininity, and there is much interest among the fellows to know which of his many admirers he will finally woo and Winn! a g p 5 3 u b 51 n r r i MATTHEW CHARLES DUGGAN MATT Born July 31, 18S8, Marlboro, Mass.

His best known characteristic is his will- ingness to work for any class activity. This was made evident in our Fresh- man j ear, when his work on behalf of the Garden Party was a very con- tributorj ' factor to its success. Matt did not come to us unheralded, for we had heard of his baskell)all fame, so that he captained the Fresh- man squad, and led the Varsity team. Besides, as a member of the backfield of the 1911 football team he played a steady game. To mention Matt ' s athletic activities, without saj ' ing a word about his social success, would be doing him an injustice; but, lack of ample space forbids anything Init the mere chronological record of his leader- ship of the Sophomore Dance and Junior Promenade, which he led with the grace of a finished leader of cotillions. Matt is a good manager, in business! He had obtained such experience before entering college, that he knew every business scheme and bogus game in existence, so that he saved money for the managenient of the Stylus and Sub Turri, of both of which he was business manager. It is our opinion that no politician can surpass Matt — we wonder if that accounts for his occasional new neckwear, etc. u b u r r i a g f 5 4 JAMES EUGENE FIHELLY Born September ii, 1S91, Rockland, Mass.

Too long had he hidden his light — giving us in other j ' ears but a pass- ing flash and then relapsing again into oblivion. One cannot long en- gage with him in conversation with- out finding his remarks interspersed with browsings from Milton — or some virtue extolled in words that Shakespoke. James will inform any- one who asks him what his main oc- cupation is here, that he is pursuing his studies — but he hastens to explain that that doesn ' t mean that he is far behind them. The other diversion that J. E. F. pursues is one of even a more elevated nature, in fact he has always shown considerable interest in uplift work of many kinds. In connection with this study he attends regularly a course at x x x x x x (see footnote). There seems to be a propensity on the part of a certain number of fellows to try to jolly Fihelly, but Jim may always keep this book as documentary evidence to prove that it is an easy matter to tell who is the better jollier. His motto is, What you get for nothing, take, my boy. We know of no scandal in Jim ' s young life other than his going to Chick- ering ' s piano factory to get his picture taken.

As basketball man- ager in Sophomore he won the stomachs of the squad by his gen- erous disbursement of the funds — of the college. As vice-president of the Marquette he developed ability as an arguer. The only way his arguments can be made to cease to flow is by tying his hands. Not content with shining in the eyes of such a limited audience as society and class offered, he mcteored himself into the histrionic heavens by assuming the part of the Doctor in Macbeth. The performance gave rise to a class debate on the question as to whether that part was intended by Shakespeare to be as meniorable in the minds of the audience as Doc ' s rendition of it made it. It was Curley ' s contention that it was Shakespeare ' s one Homeric hod — to introduce comedy in such a tragic scene. Other Shakespearian authorities in the class question the propriety of the fanrous Turkey Trot exits featured bj ' the Doctor — who, however, defends his modern interpolation on the ground that the references made by Shakespeare to chickens and dames demanded it. It wasn ' t till Senior, however, that Doc came into his own — when by an overwhelming vote he was swept into the vice-presidential chair — there to rule with unruffled dignity — whenever the fellows could be made quiet enough to listen to him and were not attracted to another corner of the room by another competing presiding officer. § u b (E « r r i a g p 5 B JOSEPH ALOYSIUS FITZGERALD Born March 19, 1890, Worcester, Mass. fitz joe stretch Marquette (i) Jasketball (i) Worcester was heralded to the world when the famous Irish national bird deposited its onerous impedi- menta there March 19, 1890, in the person of Stretch ; in his early days he mani- fiested a love and zeal for an intellectual at- mosphere, consequentl} ' his folks vacated the above town in order that he might better the advantages offered by the Athens of America to this genius in embryo. Roxbury soon heard of him when he blossomed in the Mission School; after preparing himself there, he won a scholarship in the B. C. H. During this time of intellectual stretching and expansion, his physical powers were not dormant, for he assumed such a length that he sleeps in a specially made bed with his pedes extra fenestras. After matriculation at B. C. H., he entered the College proper. He spends his summer leisure in the capacity of book-agent; the most disappointing of all employments is that of a book-agent, yet Joe made good there, which argues well for his future adventures and subsequent success. Fitz is an ardent enthusiast of scientific chemistry; not satisfied with the extensive facilities for this branch of science extended by the College, he may be found delving into the mysteries of the science of smells and bottle-washing at the Franklin Institute three or more evenings a week. At this institution he has made himself known and respected on account of his well correlated knowledge of the theory and practice of chemistry; he is at his best when delivering a well- prepared treatise on the Synthesis of Rubber. .] a g p 5 7 u b (il u r r t THOMAS FITZPATRICK Born Jan. 4, 1891, Orient Heights, Mass.

His earl} ' education was re- ceived in that district, but since he entered Boston Latin School in 1905 he has been making daily voyages across to Boston to increase and com- plete his intellectual training. He en- tered Boston College in September, 1909, and has never missed a single day since. In all kinds of weather he makes that perilous voyage over the harbor. Tom is the most optimistic fellow in the class. His philosophy is to keep on smiling regardless of how much it hurts. Every tinie you look at him he is wreathed in smiles. Whether engaged in a recitation on the norm of morality or the origin of ideas, a merry smile is playing upon his countenance. In conversation he readily wins both professors and classmates to his side by his magnetizing smile. His success as a debater is no less at tributed to his ability to smile and make others smile. Tom thinks that he was placed in this world to be a school teacher. If he follows that profession he is sure of attaining success, for in addition to his optimism he is endowed with a copious supplj ' of knowledge. We can assure his pupils a much happier existence than the pupils of Dotheboys Hall enjoyed under its master, Squeers. His bright and sunny disposition has won him the friendship of all his classmates and it will be sure to help him on to success in years to come. § u b S u r r i P a gf 5 B THOMAS STANISLAUS FOLEY Born South Boston tom brother Manager Freshman Baseball Fulton (i, 2, 3) Dramatics (1, 2, 3) Varsity Football (2, 3) Tom was born in South Boston and l)i-ed in the dearo Nortli End.

His best known excellency is his debating, and in this line, for which he seems to have a special pre- dilection, he has been more frec£uently in the public eye, we believe, than any other B. C. debater in our memorj The Fulton victories of 1911 over Georgetown and Fordham are attributed in great part to the shafts of his wit — the direct forcefulness of his argumentation and his matter-of-fact, drive-it- honie way of speaking — which pleases so many. No one believes that Tom ' s conquests in his chosen field of argumentation and law, will cease with his college course. Each of his class- mates and fellow-collegians expects to see him shine and lead in the broader field of profes- sional life, whether legal or political, as he has in the limited sphere of our college life. He has another circle of admirers in the Stylus readers. His contributions to the College paper have been consistent, eagerly read, and of such high literary merit that we have selected several of his shorter poems to embellish our book. His editorials have been a means of uniting the classes in closer bonds of college spirit — be- sides going far in maintaining the prestige of the Stylus among the collegiate papers of the country. a g p 6 1 g u b 51 u r r t JOSEPH HARVEY GILDEA JOE HARVEY Born Feb. 9, iS giggles gilly , Newton, Mass.

We have seen him pick up Horace ' s O Pons Bandusiae and become enrap- tured; we have seen him sit for hours enlhralled by the eloquence of De- mosthenes; and we have watched his countenance glow and his eyes shine as he listened to the exposition of the beauties of the physical world — in so far as we were introduced to them in our course in Physics. But Joe ' s proper element is Music. They tell us that Joe had hardly, for the first time, opened his eyes to the light of day, when he broke forth into a song, the like of which has never since been heard in Newton. He reijeated his performance at frequent intervals thereafter, and neighbors used to lie awake, even into the small hours of the morning, charmed by this infant prodigy. But it was only recently that he gave his inclination to music a practical turn and conferred one of the greatest blessings on humanity, by founding the College Glee Club. He was in the field in Medford one day with a geological party when a melodious , soprano voice filled the air with a beautiful song; and ever since, rain or shine, Joe has been scouring the hills and dales of Medford in search of unconformities.

Marquette ( i. 2) Fulton (3, 4) Dramatics (3) Stylus Exchange Editor (4) Associate Editor Sub Turri (4) Class Prophet September of 1909 brought us this retiring young man from Newton, and even after a trying career of four years in our company he still retains that quality of retiring, generally after the third hour once or twice a week. All seem to agree that the scene of his actions during these .stolen moments lies in the richest town in this country. Some say the time is spent in locating a favorable site for a new provision establish- ment; others say in visiting a few pro- spective customers. However, as to the exact reason, time will tell. Rut from this account one must not get the idea that Tom is of a frivolous nature — far from it. As a student he ranks among the leaders; while as a literateur, his name and fame are known from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Canada to Mexico, for he is the exchange editor of the Stylus and the able manner in which he has raised that position to one of importance is most creditable. His reputation as an actor is closely linked with his reputation as champion biscuit-eater in the tavern scene of Henry IV. As an accomplished member it is apparent that Thomas finds his place among the first; so accomplished, indeed, is he, that to get an idea of the Newtonite ' s future hopes is an impossibility. Still we know he will make himself known and appreciated in whatever path he chooses, and so our hand goes out to him in his next move. a 3 P 6 3 Bub Surri JOHN JOSEPH HARTIGAN JACK ZAZA MALECH BUNT Born June g, 1892, Roslindale, Mass.

During his Senior year he expecially distinguished him- self by the sterling chai ' acter of his playing of right end on the Varsity football team, of which he was cap- tain. One of Jack ' s best assets is his well-known tenacity of purpose. He never starts anything that he can ' t finish and that he doesn ' t finish. By this let no one misunderstand us to say that Jack never starts anything, for as a disturber of the peace, and a menace to the beaux brummels of the room, he is surpassed only by Walter Flynn and (nis McMahon, who contain in themselves the very essence of mischief. That Jack has never entered oratoricals is a great mystery to his South Boston admirers — and the only reason that we can ascribe is that too much of his time is required to fulfil his temperance lecture engagements. The football team and the citizens of Willimantic bear testimony to his forensic abilities. On Soph Class Night he was called upon as a speaker and though entirely unprepared entertained us all with experiences on his football trips. Jack, j ou know, isn ' t a man that would push himself at all, but once pushed he ' s a hard man to stop. Jack ' s practice on the organ is limited, not in proficiency but merelj in time and tune, to the Physics hour.

This lair-haired child was the hlond hoy of onr High School course, but met several rivals when he reached the College. However, he still maintains his imdisputed su- premacy in the art of dimpling. This may seem inconsistent with his ac- tivities as an athlete, but such is not the case, for in more than one branch he has upheld the good name of the Class and College in many hard-fought contests, at home and in many of the Eastern States. It was through his efi ' orts that Fordham was added to the Boston Football Schedule for the first time. George ' s dimples were continually in evidence during mathematics courses and also at Commencement when the prizes for excellence in those subjects were distributed. He is also an authority on Canadian dimples were continually in evidence during math- amatics courses and also at Commencement when the prizes for excellence in those subjects were dis- tributed. He is also an authority on Canadian conditions (no other kinds), can tell how much water goes over Niagara every minute, to the quart, and is a violent opponent of annexation. All in all, he is about as well-traveled a man as we have in our midst. His business abilities, demonstrated in the management of the football team of 1912, led the Year Book Committee to entrust the advertising department of Sub Turri into his hands. The section is a great credit to him and has assured the book of financial stability at least. a g P 6 5 S uh ® u r r i IRVINCx JOSEPH HEATH DICK IRVIN Born July 24, 18SS, East Boston, Mass.

After imbibing all the knowledge to be acqnired at several of the local High Schools, Irvin joined the Class of 1913 late in September, 1909. Dur- ing his Freshman year Irvin was a source of constant enjojanent for the class in Elocution by his clever imper- sonations of local political celebrities and A ' as noted for tlie verbositj ' of his remarks before the Marquette Debat- ing Society, of which he was a leading member. Until his Junior year Irvin had enjoyed the fullest esteem and admiration of his fellows, and the horror with which they received the terrible news that Irvin not only had removed to Chelsea but even pretended to take pleasure in this living entombment, can hardly be described. For his indefatigable labors on behalf not only of the College Track Team, of which he was manager, but also of every athletic activity at the college, Irvin deserves the greatest credit, and it was through his cfl ' orts that the first swimming team in the histor} of the institution was organized. He also was a prime mover in the indoor tennis revival, being the winner in the singles and a member of the successful team in the doubles event. Irvin intends to follow Chem., and we have no hesitation in predicting a success. S uh ®urri ct g r EG LESLIE J. HEATH 3oRN Nov. II, i8go, E. Boston, Mass.

There is an old saying that there can ' t be smoke without a fire and there is no doubt but that a flame of consider- able brilliancy was there. However, a little more careful trimming of the lamp of learning and a little more expert focusing of its light would undoubtedly have made it flash more brightly so that it might even have dazed the medal men. Les would find it a very simple matter to justify his course. talents were most in the mathematical and physi- cal sciences. Witness his long and involved dis- cussions with Mr. Kiehne, which so often resulted in his being appointed ambassador plenipotentiary to Fr. Walsh or Fr. Bridges or both. Whether it was the deep insight into the higher sciences of calculus, etc., which he acquired here that induced him to wend his way toward Copley Square, we do not here venture to state. Suffice it to say that it is a very smart young man who can survive the rigors of a year at Tech and at the same time take the evening A.B. course under Fr. Fortier, who is by no means lax in his requirements. This is what he has done this year, in order to receive his degree with his companions of even years. 3 ag p B 7 u b S u r r i RAYMOND FLORANCE HENDERSON 3RN Feb. if 92, SOMERVILLE, MaSS.

Although one would hardly gather from his im- maculate appearance that Raymond has ever en- gaged in such brutal sport as football, still such is the case. Raymond was one of the husky guards on our vic- torious Freshman eleven. While Raymond, since, claims case. Raymond was one of the husky guards on our victorious Freshman eleven. While Raymand, since, claiins to have distinguished himself there, if we were consulted we would venture the opinion that he might be mixed on his prefixes, since we understand that he was nearly ex- tinguished on the occasion of his first and last appearance on the gridiron, Ray, besides being one of the class beauties, is always good company and is in much demand on account of liis ability as a singer and piano plaj ' er, and taken all in all he is some little entertainer. His voice has also been heard with telling effect in the Marquette and Fulton, and almost in this year ' s College Shakespearean production of Macbeth. Being tried out in a minor part, he read his lines with such remarkable intelligence of feeling that he was urged by experts to essay the role of Lady Macbeth. He essayed, but found his talents better suited to lighter parts and resolved to stick to Somerville dramatics. His most lasting work will be found in the last twenty pages of this book. It is due to such splendid spirit and energy as he exhibited that this new class undertaking did not prove its funeral. g u b QI u r r i a g r B fi VINCENT JOHN HICKEY Born July iS, 1891, Cambr idge, Mass. Marquette (i, 2) President M. D. S. (2) Medal M. D. S. (i) Dramatics (2) Fulton (3, 4) Glee Club (4) Associate Editor Sub Turri (4) Chairman Class Day Committee After one year of Vincent, Aquinas College of Cambridge, Mass., closed her doors, and after he spent seven years here the result has been a re- moval to Newton. His first act of prominence as a collegian was the winning of the Marquette Debating Society Medal in his Freshman j ' ear. In his Sophomore year Vincent, play- ing the important part of Portia in the College dramatics, earned much praise by his clever portrayal of this ditlicult role. Besides his success as a Thespian, his baritone voice has added to the volume, at least, if not to the melody of the songs of the Glee Club. During his early years here Vincent experienced much difficulty in arriving at College on time on account of the poor service between Cambridge and this city, and we understand that the Subway is a direct consequence of his work in regard to the solving of the delays in transit. In his Junior year Vincent played right field for the Phi Alpha Club, and in the game with Delta Kappa made the feature play, making a diving stop of a liner while running at full speed, spoiling a certain home run (and a good pair of trousers) and pulling his team out of a bad hole. A jealous rival, the center fielder on the same team, claims that the greatness accruing to Vincent from this catch was thrust upon him, as at the psychological moment Vincent tripped, introducing a novel departure in baseball — viz., stopping the ball by sitting on it. a g P B 9 S ' ttb E at r i JAMES PATRICK KELLEY JIM SMILES Born Jan. 22, 1S90, So. Boston, Mass. Stylus Board (4) It was in primary school tliat James ' s leaning to poetry first evi- denced itself. It was while doing nothing one day — which, bj ' the way, was then his favorite pastime, that an inspiration came to him and he wrote his first verse, on How to make money withont working for it. He was heralded thenceforward as a modern Homer. When later he en- tered Holy Cross, the whole stndent l ody looked at him in awe, for his reputation as a poet had preceded him. He was immediately signed upon the Purple staff ' and all looked forward to its first pul)lication which appeared October 4, 1910. Five hundred copies were sold — but for some reason, the second month onlj six were sold (Jim himself buying the six to send home). It seems then that some one convinced Jim that Harvard pre- sented greater opportunities to a man of his genius, and he entered there. A very short while, however, sufficed to show him his error, and he got off the car at Newton Street instead of Harvard Square. But in all serious- ness, Jim is one of the most likable fellows in the Class. We predict a great future for him. Next year he intends to enter ?, and he has our best wishes for a successful career. Bub Qlurrt a g s 7 JOHN JOSEPH KELLEY Born February 6, 1892, Lawrence, Mass. Marquette ( i, 2) Fulton (3, 4) Sodality (i, 2, 3, 4) Although of extremely modest tem- perament, nature thrust leadership upon John. For the last four years he has gallantly lead that small but otherwise eminent band of loyal commuters from hill to dale, to drink at this fountain of learning. Many and divers are his talents, yet we know him best by his cheerful, witty, and when occasion requires, sarcastic oratorJ This training came from editing his High School paper and from journalistic work in his home city. We don ' t wish to encroach on the reserve of the Class Prophecy, but we cannot help picturing him some day in the halls of Congress, shaking that historic structure with his rich, orotund and persuasive tones of which John is full master. Built on Websterian lines even to the parting of his hair, one easily detects all the other likenesses, only John has this advantage, that unlike the great Daniel, he spoke his first speech with brilliant success and was henceforth hailed as a comer. But woe to the man who en- gages John ' s two-edged sword of sarcasm. We have tried it and we know. Our sympathy goes out to those future malefactors of wealth and tariff proteges who will soon become the butt of John ' s attack, for he is their avowed enemy and the cham- pion of the peepul. Railroads beware, for soon you are to learn how to ride people free and pay large dividends. Avaunt, ye profane herds of vulgar and mechanical politicians who have no place among us, for yqur reign is at an end, for the star of the reformer is in the ascend- ant. Meanwhile John with his good-natured smile and joke, plods to and fro from Lawrence daily. a g p 7 1 u b 51 It r r t JOSEPH AUGUSTINE MAHONEY Born August 17, 1890, Lawrence, Mass. guieseppe joe Smoker Com. (3, 4) Sodality (i, 2, 3, 4) Banquet Com. (4) From Sophomore up to this last year of college, our class-room has al- ways been brightened by Guies- cppe ' s smile that won ' t come off. How, why and whence Joe has ac- quired this now famous appellation Guieseppe remains as a matter of study and research for the philolo- gists of coming genei ' ations. We tiiink that it may have an extrinsic or intrinsic dependence upon the fact of our perfect (?) knowledge of Ital- ian and of Joe ' s intimate connection ' ith the recent scene of the I. W. W. uprising, for Lawrence, Mass., is known as Joseph ' s home town. Mr Mahoney, as he is sometimes called, has, so we have heard, the capacity and tendency for being a senator. This noble aspiration of his was revealed at the February hearing in favor of a reduction of students ' railroad rates before the railroad committee in the State House. Before this eminent body, Mr. Mahonej spoke with such thrilling eloquence that it is whispered that students ' rates will be halved. Joe ' s other occupation after school and study hours is tliat of chauffeur and so we have a right to conclude that some time in the future we maj hear of Mr. Joseph Mahoney, U. S. Senator, or of Dare- devil Joe, the 100 mile an hour auto fiend. So here ' s success to him in any walk of life ! ! !

Verily that little state has in Frank Mangan a worthy little Napoleon to reiiresent it. Francis hangs up his coat in Pawtucket, R. I., and makes the run thence daily, for which, methinks, great praise is due him. For such a great distance a very early rising is necessary, something metaphysically impossible for more than one of our suburban class-mates. This fact proves Frank to be a little bear for work, although suspicion is aroused by his leaving at twelve-thirty. The reason for the suspicion? Because we know Mr. Mangan to be a great friend with the ladies as on one occasion he was seen with several persons of the other sex. Moral : beware of Frank, all ye who are on speaking terms with Dan Cupid! At one fime in Soph Class, he brightened the Physics hour by publish- ing a daily paper — which may be said to have been the seeds of a class book. Furthermore, as a wit there are few in the class who can equal him — and for this reason it is a delight to listen to his debates — and it has been noticed that the attendance of the Fulton is more than fifty on those occasions. Frank is now putting all his efforts ■ into the intricate equations of Organic Chemistry with the probable inten- tions of specializing therein. This is, however, a mere guess. Whatever his intentions may be, we know that he will attain his goal ! ! ! a g P r 3 gi u b iF u r r i GEORGE EMILE MARIN Born March Asst. Advertising Manage BABE iS9S, Lowell, Mass. Sub Turri (4) Fulton (4) It was not until Senior year that there slipped quietly into our ranks a certain party by the name of Geo. E. Marin. A shy glance at his age on his application blank told us we were about to receive the Class Baby — Init he turned out to be a baby in years only. His quiet, retiring ways — as he never deigned to open his lips except to solve for us quickh and surely, the most abstruse points in our Ethics — left him for some time an unknown quantity. Unknown, but not unobserved or unstudied, for how could the suspecting eye of one (or two or three or ten) keeping class honors in mind, fail to discover this new intellectual meteor. Then the question arose, and was quite openly mooted, Is he smart or just a plugger? As if he knew our thoughts, he unconsciously and in the simplest possible way, solved the question straightway himself, by shattering one horn of the dilemma. He showed that he didn ' t devote his time to lessons alone, by plunging into the arduous undertaking of the class — and at a time when prospects were dullest, and by making good there too, he clearly showed that the other horn of the di- lemma was the only possible solution. Therefore — or to quote a well-beloved professor — hence our argument con- cludes thus: he is a very smart young man. We, his classmates, heartilj com- mend him to the world in general. 01 u r r t JAMES MAY McCORMACK Born March 30, 1S92, Dorchester, Mass. HAP HAPPY MAC BUSTER Class Baseball (i, 2) A K Class Football (2) Another of the illustrious sons of St . Peter ' s parish of Dorchester, which has brought so much renown to B. C. ! From the very start he displayed great promise and diligence — in ath- letics. He has ever shone brilliantly at baseball and football, but his in- inability to get down to weight kept him out of track athletics. His great- est laurels, however, are those which he has acquired in the bowling alley. In his Junior year he easily showed his right to the title of Mattapan Champion. Incidentally he still retains his unblemished honors. Among his classmates Buster has always been a general favorite. Big-hearted and easy-going, the good-natured butt of the jokes of both classmates and professors, he has more friends in the College than many of the leading actors in college life. His calm and even tenor of life has successfully defied the attempts of the professors to bawl him out and as a result, those who begin to roar at him like a lion usually conclude as meekly as a lamb. If he can still retain this wonderful power of self-control he has a brilliant future before him — as a hen-pecked husband. When preferring not to recite his lessons in psychology for reason externally evident, he calmly suggests a note of 80 — which the class voted to give him, but the sanction of the beadle not being forthcoming, he got a naught of 80. Cross-questioning by our Ethics pro- fessor brought out the fact that all his actions spring from the highest kind of motives — no act of any kind ever being placed without a positive previous act of pure love of God. a g r T 5 u b 3 u r r i OWEN JOSEPH McGAFFIGAN Junior Prom Baseball (3) AK ORN Oct. 25, OWEN Com. 1890, BrooklinEj Mass. barney mac (3) Marquette (2) Art Editor Sub Turri (4) Upon entering College Barney was the modest possessor of the title of being the original and only bona fide nero man in the class. For one cold, wintry morn way back in 1909 the papers chronicled the thrilling rescue of a young skater of Newton Lower Falls from an icy grave, by an un- known, whom investigation proved to be a certain 0. J. McGalligan of Bos- ton College. Modesty and retirement iiavc always been noticeable charac- teristics of Owen and serve as a candle to his worth. Tiiat artistic talent that we now all know so well, found its first lasting expression in the designing of the Golden Anni- versai ' y Seal of Boston College, which has been adojited as the seal of the Class of 1913. To Owen must also be given the credit for the cover design and name of our Year-Book, Sub Turri. Many were the titles suggested, but none seemed to possess the dignity, appropriate- ness and originalitj ' which characterizes the unanimous choice of the Committee. Always a quiet, industrious worker, his efforts to promote the interests of his class had good results especially in the success of our Junior Prom, held in our year for the first time in the Hotel Somerset. As an orator his first and last appearance before us will not be soon forgotten. At any rate, he was the only speaker on that eventful day who was mindful of some interested spectators of that wildly interesting session, from across the way. u b ® u r r i a g p r B AUGUSTINE MICHAEL McMAHON Born June 15, 1891, Wilmington, Mass Marquete ( i. 2) Sophomore Dance Com.

As the poet Gray says, he has pursued the even tenor of his way, joyfullj ' and gladly cooperating with the class in its ventures and lending his assist- ance wheresoever needed. His broad knowledge of rural life, gained by experience, makes him a valuable source of information on all such topics. He is a member of the Glee Club where he sings to kill the time, and according to the concensus of opinion he has a good weapon. As a heart smasher we believe Gus holds a record. This deduction is, however, a very good example of a priori reasoning, viz., given the cause, the effect must result. We do not reach this conclusion from any multitude of cases observed. Aside from his charm of manner — which we can readily see attracts femininity to him, it is his utter indifference to them that we believe makes them try the harder to ensnare this prize. Gus, as he is familiarly called, is a favorite among his com- panions, and his genial and pleasing disposition makes for him a host of friends. We regret the parting of the ways which separates us from Gus, and trust that the golden milestones of his future life may lead ever through fields of happiness and joy. i ub ®urrt JOSEPH FLORANCE MOLONEY JOE senator Born March 2, 1S90, So.

Although 110 holiday has j ' et been (lechired because of the fact, Joseph F. Moloney first saw the light of day on the second day of March, 1890. The early days of his life were passed playing in the historic parks of South Boston, and wading through the studies in the elementary schools of the peninsula district, to which Joe bade adiew before he graduated to enter the ancient and honorable Bos- Ion Latin School. Here from the start he rapidly ascended the ladder of fame. He soon became a corporal in the school battalion — next a first sergeant-major, and finally wore the stripes of regimental sergeant-major. But military drill did not aflord all the laurels won by Joe; he was some athlete, finding a position on several all-scholastic elevens. Nor were all his efforts confined to playing games, for he served on the Athletic Advisory Board of that school as the student member. On entering college, Joe, for a high motive banished his ideas of fame as an athlete and turned to more serious pursuits. Joe is rather out of the class of the rest of us — in looks and in artistic sense — but we will excuse that, he ' s so young. In the social affairs of the College he has been some traveler, quoting Newman as his authority for the importance of sociability in college life. 31 « r r t a g p 7 S FRANCIS JOSEPH MURPHY Born July 21, 1S90, South Boston, Mass. FRANK MURP H HASH HASHISH SPUD Varsity Baseball (i, 2, 4) Smoker Com. (3, 4) Captain Baseball (4) Frank was a little late for the fourth, in fact, he seems to be late in very many things, but when he does come we all are aware of it, for he lias a way that is all his own. We know what Frank means though, in fact oftentimes he has been found mean enough for anything, as many of our number can testify who have come in contact with his terrible right. His one fault is that he is quite talkative in class and is perhaps the most garrulous chap in our midst. For three seasons Murph has been a steady player on the diamond for the Maroon and Gold, and has always been quite handy with the hickory. The official scorer never had the opportunity to make mistakes about Frank ' s average, for his devoted pupil, imitator, and admirer, Kid Donovan always had it computed. Unfortunately his pitching records were lost in oblivion while returning from the spring training trip in Northern Vermont, but everybody says that his shoots can be hit farther than Smoky Joe ' s, and the upstate natives especiallj ' have never been known to deny it. From his frequent and learned disputations on Hash during the psychology hour, we had begun to think that Frank had found a new brand of sinkers in a nearby restaurant, that could give us more pleasant dreams and memories; but we were doomed to disappointment, - -. for soon we found that instead of treating of this most S elevating subject, be was merely talking of such com- monplace things as chemistry and pharmacy (farmacy) and of course our interest immediately began to lag. The future augurs nothing but good for Francis in his chosen profession. a g P 7 9 ub Slurri JAMES MICHAEL MURRAY JIM Born Aug. 20, 1S90, Lynn, Mass. Class Football (i, 2) Class Track (i) In the fall of 1909, two young fel- lows left Peabody (some say for the first time) to become enrolled in the army that was gathering on James Street. It seems that during the jour- ney they must have forgotten the name of the street, or else there must have been a particular attraction elsewhere, for we found them hope- lessly wandering around Newton St., on that first memorable day in Sep- tember. One has left us, and now Jim alone remains to uphold the honor of his little village — hut the natives need have no fear for Jim is much alive, when it comes to defend- ing the home of his fathers. His eloquent words will yet be heard in the Legislature. At one time wc thought that Jim was training to becoine a white hope, and in great wonder and admiration did we watch him go through his stunts with the punching-bag. He was really good at this, and his one fault was a mere lack of discretion. He broke the bladder so much that the prefect of discipline came to know him, and this is something to be avoided.

Thus, according to Dame Rumor, do we account for Bennett Joseph O ' Brien, known as the Ty Cobb of Boston College, who was born in Quincy, on December 26, 1891. He received his earl3 ' education in that town, and be- ing graduated from the Quincy High School, in 19(19. he entered Boston College the same year. It is said that during his baby days he was a great boy for catching flies, and possibly to this early training we can attribute his brilliant performances on the diamond during his college days, upon which he has alwa s tried to bring glory and renown to his Alma Mater. Nor have his activities been confined to athletics alone, for guided by the Muses of the Crags, he has attained special prominence as a poet and writer. We are fortunate in having many men of Bennett ' s stamp in our class. All are his friends, and he is the friend of all. His great- est pleasure is to advance the interests of Class and College, and he goes forth into the arena of life with the best wishes of all with whom he has come in contact in any way whatever, and most especially his classmates. a g p B 1 u b 51 u r r X EDWARD IGNATIUS O ' BRIEN ED O ' B PROFESSOR Born Jan. ii, 1891, So.

It gave to us the only, original Edward Ignatius O ' Brien, scientist, waiter, philosopher, poet, conductor, hook-agent, orator, linguist, connois- seur of art, and leader in the social whirl. In such a nohle character it were difficult to find a flaw, yet we who know him intimately are obliged to say there is just one — a passion for the dance. Fortunately his indul- gence in this regard is limited by a close application to literary work. He conducts a column in the Boston Post under the nom de plume of Mildred Champagne. His longer epic poems and a metrical trans- lation of Hiawatha into Italian are announced for publication in the spring of 1915. Withal he finds much time to devote to his beloved science, Phyiscs. Time was when Edward thundered his prelude, We scientists say, and men like Professor Phelan, grown old in the study of science, would listen with admiration to the erudite exposition of difficulties in the domain of Physics. However, we shall see about that later. At present Edward is engaged in research work in the hope of revealing to the world the solution of Jack Donovan ' s famous problem: — Can an incandescent lamp be used for the same purpose as a hot-water bottle?

O ' Brien was born in 1891, so reads the record, not of the police court, but of the Increase in Population Department. To peruse the list casually there is nothing astounding about that information, but when we understand that the M. J. O ' Brien referred to is the mem- ber of the Senior class at Boston College, then the event marks a new epoch in world history. It has been affirmed by a microscopic inspection of the left-hand corner of the nose, that M. J. O ' Brien liears a striking resemblance to the immortal Napoleon. About his early history there seems to be nothing startling except that he frequented the same apple yards as his predecessors. Having occupied a seat for some time at the Hugh O ' Brien School in Roxbury, the powers decided that they needed the room and so presented Maurice with a diploma in 1905. He passed through Boston Latin School without any serious objection on the part of the faculty and graduated with the renowned class of 1909. But not until he entered Boston College did he realize his own tremendous possibilities. En- dowed with a magnetic personality and the power of estimating men, he soon became a prominent member of the class. Perhaps now and then he was unable to attain his ambitions, but his motto, If defeated come back for an encore, inspired him with new life and acci- dentally some success. He is noteworthy as a modest youth, but when an office is at stake, all other matters are relegated to oblivion. What- ever walk of life M. J. O ' Brien enters, it is certain that when the lesser lights have reached their zenith of success, Maurice is sure to be their peer. a g F S § u b 01 u r r t MARTIN FRANCIS O ' CONNOR bud scrappy Born March, 1891, Cambridge, Mass.

S On a blustering day of March, 1891, Bud ' s melodious voice was heard for the first time as he burst into a lusty paen of joy at being born in the hitherto quiet city of Cambridge, Mass. After completing the course at the Latin School there, he looked around carefully for a college worthy of his efl ' orts and not too far removed From Cambridge to prevent him pay- ing frequent visits to his many friends, not only in his home town but also in the surrounding suburbs, and finally decided to enter Boston w ith the Class of ' 13. Since Bud ' s arrival at College the rooms on the James Street side of the Franklin Square House have been at a premium and Marenholz has been obliged to turn away countless applicants for the room facing the College. Although Bud himself would never mention the fact, he is, nevertheless, one of the best athletes and his defensive playing for the past three years has been a feature of the work of the Varsity football team, to say nothing of the fighting spirit he displayed on both Class and Varsity basketball teams. In order not disappoint his numerous friends among the fair sex, the Class elected Bud to the Junior Prom Committee, and needless to say, he shone resplendent not only on that occasion, but at every other class and social activity, where his ivory smile has been the cause of much admiration and envy. u h 21 u r r i a g p 8 4 FRANCIS LEO PHELAN Born Aug. 3, 189 Marquette (i) Fulton (2, 3, 4) Sophomore Debate (2) Treasurer Fulton (3) DOC I, Jamaica Plain, Mass.

(3) The first time that Doc showed any success in startling the world was on August 3, 1891, when that particu- lar section of this mundane sphere known as Jamaica Plain was notified in no uncertain tones that one Francis Leo Phelan had arrived and had begun kicking obstacles out of his path to success. After due delibera- tion, Doc decided to shine in the intellectual firmament as a star of the first magnitude. We say he did this after due deliberation, for it is nearly impossible to imagine him doing anything without due deliberation; in fact, we expect one day to see him with the degree of D. D. (Doctor of Deliberation). His early years were devoted to the practice of becoming an intellectual sharp-shooter, (a sort of shooting-star, as it were) so that whenever a prize is hung up now, Doc levels his trusty shotgun, and with one volley from the Antecedent barrel and another from the Consequent he lays his game low. Doc ' s aspirations run more to scholarship than to athletics, although we have it on good authority that he was nearly inveigled at one time into running a mile race with Sallaway. Be that as it may, Doc is always in the race, whether it is a question of running for an office in the Fulton, or for the 8.27 L from Forest Hills. In addition to working enough hours per day to keep him honor man in the Class, Doc also finds time to debate and orate with con- siderable success, besides holding to the satisfaction of all the position of class beadle, in which he is a plain, blunt man that knows his friends, and that they know full well. age 35 u h 01 u r r t FRANCIS XAVIER SALLAWAY Born Nov. 22, 1890, Somerville, Mass. sal frank salve t. a. daley Banquet Com.

But lo! what lofty ideas this lad had, and they grew as he grew! For six years F. X. S. had gained a substantial purse in the Christian Doc- trine contests, and spending this surpertluous coin he got an insight into society and its extravagant ways. Nothing would please him then until he had ensnared the entire class, and lo! in our Junior year, by his eloquent descriptions of the splendor of the upper ten he pre- vailed upon us to conduct our Prom in Hotel Somerset. The way he guided our financial affairs made even the committee sit up and take notice and they haven ' t yet ceased giving him credit. With a deter- mination to go higher, he urged us to edit this, and under his splendid supervision and our watchful eye, the work was accomplished. Fitting victories they were to top off his many successes, for as an author and lingo poet the Stylus readers are yet to see his equal, in versatility at least. As a student he has taken all the fun out of the victory for the medal winner and as an orator he has added considerably to the excite- ment of several important contests, prize and intei ' collegiate, and as a grind he is second to one. Taken all i n all, however, our honorable Editor- in-Chief has done nobly and if he persists in his persistencj as he has J during the past few years, he is cer- tain to make his name as memorable in the sphere he selects as he has in our College records.

Keenan, Secy. J. Joyce, Treas. do something better than its predecessors has been the aim of the class of ninetee n-fourteen. Progi ' ess and originality are its standards. Leadership among the classes of the College is the goal which it seeks, and has attained. Witness its first glorious victory when its Leo Murray, as a mere stripling, carried away the palm of victorj ' in the oratorical contest from the choicest orators of the College. Then it was that it attracted attention. But, wait! Witness, again, another victory in the Marquette Prize Debate. Its Sullivan brought greater glory upon the class of nineteen-fourteen by his powers of debate. Its Bari-y was another competitor in this debate. Led by the genial Dawson the first year of college saw the class l reemiinent in social affairs. First came a mosit successful dance at Catholic Union Hall. A banquet at Riverbank Covirt demonstrated that this class had the true college spirit. Its clever business agents. Quirk and Desmond, at all times show remarkable ability in accom- plishing things. Of course, its Brennan, Doyle and Dawson must not be forgotten on the roll of athletes. Who has not heard of the boy wonder, Mackenzie? His name is one of the proud boasts of nineteen-fourteen. It could hold up for emulation the keen mathematical abilily of its Collins, its MacGrath; it could point to the wonderful pen of its Sullivan, of its Taylor, its McGrail; lastly, it could urge all to make the acquaintance of its good fellows. With such a notable beginning, who could place limits to the future? As youngsters in the College our class had outstripped all the others. But its youthful spirit was not to be impeded. Greater honors it sought and obtained. The second year saw the class of nineteen-fourteen contribute ' t. f-fljf-t 5W- ' r j 5 ' unior ClajSjtf four to the Marquette Prize Debate. Murray, Quirk, Collins, and Barry were its defenders. Recall to your nnnds the second victory of Murray in the Oratorical contest. Hickey, Hogan, and Quirk entered the dramatic field as loyal members of nineteen-fourteen. And again, Brennan, Hickey, and MacGrath rejyesented the class upon the gridiron. All the lovers of style must model themselves after the Class of the Class, John Keohane. He is the glass of fashion and the mould of form. The baseball team contained the names of Devlin and Stenson. The second dance in Catholic Union Hall certainly was a notable success. Dawson again led the class with an able committee among whom may be mentioned Flaherty, Tom Devlin, and Fred Doyle. The Lenox Hotel was the scene of the second banquet of nineteen-fourteen. Barney McDonald was the master of affairs. Notice the progress. Don ' t lose sight of the fact that the class of nineteen-fourteen seeks after originality. agpaa ubQIurri The delightful contributions of Sullivan, McGrail, Taylor and McKenzie to the Stylus were not diminished in the second year. Barry and Sullivan held the presidency of the Marquette Debating Society. McLaughlin, Tom Devlin, Hogan, and Hickey were honored with positions in this society. The close of the year saw Higgins claim the purse of fiftj ' dollars for an original essay on The Humor of Dickens. McKenzie showed himself a peerless scholar by winning a majority of prizes. Hurley, Collins, Murray, Frank Doyle, and a score of others were close competitors. Many familiar faces were no longer seen when the class of nineteen-fourteen started upon the third lap. The priesthood issued its call. A new face was seen. Cogan appeared. Now behold the value of progress. The wonderful Junior Prom of the class of nineteen-fourteen was held at the Somerset Hotel on January 30, 1913. Was it a success? Ask those who enjoyed that pleasure. Call around and see any of the members of the class of nineteen-fourteen, or other classes. Everybody is talking about it yet. Nothing can stop Murray from winning medals. In his avarice he annexed the Fulton Prize Medal. Sullivan was another of the contributors of this class. Sullivan, Murray, and Sallaway are to uphold the honor of the Fulton against Georgetown and Fordham. Two members from the class of nineteen-fourteen. That ' s rather fine. Philosophy has no terrors for this class. Murray, Keenan, McKenzie, converse and carry on disputations on philosophical propo- sitions in Latin. Think of that! Hurley, Fitzgerald, Joyce and Sullivan are but a few more of these young philosophers. Last of all, the beadle cannot be equalled. Fred Deasy has been the guar dian of the lists for the last two years. The jug book has often told too plainly the story of his honesty and conscientious- ness. Like Horatius at the bridge, Fred guards the absentee and late lists. A kind remembrance to our professors who have stimulated the class in all its activities, social and intellectual. Let this history not close until we mention the legion of good fellows who, perhaps, have not burst the heavens with their flame, but who plug on daily in noble efforts. Some advice to all. Get to know the Class of 1914. Cultivate their acquaintance. It ' s worth your while. They are all good fellows, true representatives of B. C. boys. Daniel J. Young c = :  a ?opj)omore (Elass 1915 e g g .  i.« . j E. S. Farmer, Pres. F. Bi ' .eath, Vice Pres. R. O ' Brien, Secy. Ed. McLaughlin, Treas. [Nineteen fifteen! For three years this slogan has been re-echoing through the citj ' of Boston. It was first sounded in the Cliamber of Commerce. Our clamoring presses next adopted it and sent its hopeful message into every corner of this vast land. It became universally known as a sj ' uonym for prosperity. The day that witnessed the dawning of that year was to gaze upon a more extensive, a more l)eautiful, and a commercially supreme Boston. Hence it was that this charmed year gave all works that looked to its advent for completion, a prestige and activity which was peculiar to itself. Not even our schools escaped its influence. The classes to graduate in 1915 became subsidised, as it were, by activity. To this, the Freshman Class of nineteen-eleven, the largest that had ever entered Boston College, bears testimony. Confident in its strength, fortunate in its memb ers, and spurred on by the omnipresent Forward, it immediately took an unprecedented position in college life. There had been other Freshman Classes, but this one was so different. Its presence was ever felt. It left no field of endeavor untried, and no laurel was deemed too sacred for its brow. It sent its Wennerberg into the field of dramatics to present a highly commendable in- terpretation of Hotspur (Henry IV). Its Edward Farmer went up to the rostrum to over- whelm his opponents with an array of insuper- able arguments, while he hiinself, incidentally, won the medal offered by the Marquette Debat- ing Society. Its track team was the represent- ativ team of the College. Nor was this the end of its activity. The class of nineteen-fifteen gave to the College football team, and was opl)oniorc Cla s proud in the giving, such excellent players as Linehan, Brandon, Gavin, Gallaghei ' , Cunningham, and Mullen. Keeping in mind Emerson ' s axiom, Hitch your wagon to a star, the class elected as its president, John Walsh. A very effective one he proved to be, and never for a moment was his ability questioned. John, as you know, had frequently led his competitors a merry chase in the old gym, and now, through force of habit, he started his administration at a four-forty clip, while the rest of the class trailed at his heels. Under his able guidance our ship of state rolled buoyantly on, making but two stops on the voyage. The first, in order that the crew niight brush off the tarnish of life in the enjoying of an evening of pleasure spent with the fairest of the fair, their sisters, aniidst the radiance of the ball-room. The second, that they inight pledge anew their unswerving fidelity to College and to each other at the annual Freshman Banquet. The present scholastic year found us no longer Freshmen but Sophomores in grade, slightly older in years, considerably advanced g-ubSurrt Pa«pa2 in knowledge, and still endowed with a persistence which has con- quered empires. Mechanics, a punishment which all Sophomores niust undergo, had taught us early in the year to figure to a nicety the amount of additional energy required to start an engine after it had stopped. Amazed at how much this amounted to in the daily run of a local train, we determined that the present Sophomore class would make no stops, but should ever be in progress. To ensure such advancement the class elected the able and afl ' able Edward Farmer to spur us on. Frank Breath was elected to the office Avhich is second only to Mr. Farmer ' s, Richard O ' Brien was entrusted with the office of treasurer, and Edward McLaughlin was elected secretary. With such men in, office the class saw nothing but success before them. The piece de resistance of the first term of Boston College social life is the Sophomore dance. For one evening we tossed our Demosthenes to an upper shelf, flung Tacitus to the winds and tipped the light fantastic at Horticultural Hall. The recollection of the pleasantry of that evening will remain long with us. Care and anxiety were submitted to Nature ' s all-healing balm. Mirth, and received from the contact an added impetus to go on and to achieve honors in keejiing with those of the past. In testimony of this, let me cite the recent presentation of Macbeth bj ' the College dramatic society. The intelligent and con- scientious work of each member of that cast was deserving of high praise, but especially so were the efforts of James Dowling as Lady Macbeth and Frederick Wennerberg as Macbeth, both of the class of nineteen-fifteen. Witnessing the performance that night, it actually seemed as if the Macbeths had stepped out of the ages to hatch anew their foul plots and do once more their bloody work upon the stage of old Boston College. Let me also cite the recent success we achieved in the field of pro and con, when Frederick Wennerberg won the medal offered by the Marquette Debating Society in its annual prize debate. Francis X. McCabe, ' 15, president of the society, proved himself an able chairman that evening. And last but not least, let the brawn and sinew, which we once more gave to College activities, verify my assertion. Leo McGovern and his relay team, composed entirely of Sophomores, have set a high standard for future college teams. The scholastic year of 1912-13 is fast waning. In but a few weeks we shall be no longer Sophomores but Juniors. They who are now Juniors will then be Seniors. Since our Sophomore days are nearly spent, let us ask om-selves if we have lived. What is the test of living? If he was right who said that the test of living is in working and acting, then we of the class of nineteen-fifteen have lived. Maurice J. Flynn jFresf)man Class 1916 D. F Ryan, Pres. A. Ramisch, Vice Pres. L Daky, Secv. C. Hurley, Treas. THREE years ago 1913, two years ago 1914, one year ago, 1915 was the class of importance in this College. But in 1913, 1916 is the class that has the class. Therefore all eyes and ears this way that ye that are hlind may hear and ye that ai-e deaf may read of the wonderful doings of this wonderful class. We are a great class. Others tell us — we admit it. Our ability, surpassing belief, is shown in every branch of College activity. Only in the little Green jug do we yield our supremacy and even that occasionally in its afternoon fullness spurts forth a member of Freshman A, B, or C. But then, it must be said, jug is not an activity. It is, on the contrary, a state of extreme passivity. Did some one ask to be introduced? Right this way, Sir. We really thought that everyone knew us, but then, for the benefit of the great unwashed, the unterrified, we will submit our most distinguished members to the humiliation of an introduction. First of all we wish to present D. Francis Ryan upon whom was imposed by unanimous conviction the sentence of wielding the gavel upon all — no, not heads — but upon all occasions of solemn conclave. It is true that Frank has no gavel; but when he delicately taps the table with the tip of a piece of paper rolled to a cigarette finish the desired effect is obtained. Frank is no bully nor much on size but when he takes the chair it is with the attitude, If j ou want to see who is BOSS round here — start something. He is right and we are all with him. The second victim of our generous unanimosity was Andrew Ramisch : he of oratorical fame. Andy scarcely needs this intro- What ' s that? rr f f f ft m . t- t t f t t Jfrc bniaii Clajj; duction for everyone recalls the ti me he rode to fame on a Dukite Snake. Leo Daley it was whom the class chose to fill the position of Secretary. When we say that he is as good here as on the gridiron well, NUF CED. It fell to the lot of Charles Hurlej ' to handle the funds in the treasury ' . Despite the lure of filthy lucre, the tempting taint of tar- nished gold, Buck ' s reputation is unhlemished. As honest as handsome and sweet is some compliment for his honor, the exchequer. We have said we are active in all College doings. Here ' s the proof. Where would the play have been without this gallant array of Booths and Garricks? Hinchey, Hendricks, Mclnnis, Ryan, Atkinson, Mahoney, Gillis, Feeney and Carney. Oh! And Taylor. Dick , you know, was that inebriated individual that played his part so well that — well he almost landed in Station 5. Where would the Marquette Debating Society be without the agr35 SiubSurri portly presence of James Democracy Carens? They would surely be WITHOUT; for he keeps them in. His ponderosity adds great weight to his seat. How dry and uninteresting would have been the Prize Debate without Leander DeCelles — matchless wit, effusive poet, archaic mythologist and brilliant dramatist? Bj the way, we are privileged to announce that he is working on a new play: Ten Knights in a Bath Tub . The author promises us a good, clean show. What could the football team have done without Woods, Buck Hurley, Leo Daley, Duffy, Kiley, Hcffernan, Doc Fleming, Frank Rogers, Fallon and Conley. Many of these have something to show for their enthusiasm; notably, Fallon and Fleming — You may see it in their faces. Where would tiie relay team have been without Halloran, Duffy and Rowan. And yet these too, or is it three, were Freshmen. Fresh at the start; fresh through the race, and fresh at the finish. Not content with having won laurels for the College we wanted a few all our own. So, always progressive, ever anxious to go ourselves one better we organized a basketball and a hockey team. McManus managed the former while Atkinson arranged a fine schedule for his charges. Both these teams — Freshman teams — went through very successful seasons bringing home more triumphs to the class of 1916. And now our little tale is done. We have said our say. Not for lack of things to say have we stopped, but because we have said enough and are modest. Yes, modest. The only thing that we brag about is the fact that we never brag. And yet have we not reason to boast? Have we not in a single year shown our life and spirit; our brains as well as brawn; our skill and our art? We have shown ourselves, ' tis true; but not to the limit. Nor will another year show us to have reached our zenith. No, it is our purpose to grow and expand, but ever with Alma Mater ' s countersign — AD MAJOREM DEI GLORIAM — before our eyes, and never to rest content until our work is done. Our labors may take us far from Alma Mater. It has others: It will us. But no matter what the distance that separates us we will ever be loyal sons of a mother who teaches loyalty and ever will we strive to do our best that later sons of Boston College may look for their ideals and inspirations to the class of 1916 even as we look to those who have gone before us. Edwin A. Daley RESHMAN year found us like every class here, before and after us the largest in the history of the college. To give you, gentle readers, an insight into the four years which we, the class of 1913, have spent upon the good ship Studiosus ; to give you a glimpse of our life upon the broad river of knowledge in search of the Pierian springs; to picture to you the eddies, whirl- pools, and rocky reefs towards which we have frequently been lured by the song of the siren only to steer away and seek the broad and open stream; to give to you some idea of the agonies whicli we have suffered when our intellects became parched with their thirst for knowledge, and also to disclose to j ' ou the many pleasures and enjoy- ments which were used as oil to still the troubled waters surging around us, I shall unfold the story of those eventful days, gleaning my knowledge from the log of that good ship which has borne us in safety to our destination. About the middle of September, 1909, we set sail upon our cruise. Our vessel, like all Gaul, was divided into three parts, and carried a motley throng of some ninety passengers gathered mostly from all parts of Massachusetts, but containing a few who came from Rhode Island and were willing to admit it. Aboard our ship were three pilots, Fr. Maguire, S.J., Mr. Ignatius Cox, S.J., and Mr. David Cronin, S.J., all equally skilful at the helm and each claimed by one part of the ship as its own. Fr. Maquire having sailed before the mast for many a year, insisted that the two most dangerous points upon our journey, or anywhere upon the sea of life, were the Whiskey Springs and the Champagne Whirlpools. He was a strong lover of his native land and people and maintained that he never felt as safe as when upon a vessel, manned by an Irish crew, conversing in Gaelic. Mr. Cronin, likewise, had had some experience, but he maintained agpSf g uh®urrt that in order to have a successful voj ' age, we should work, work, and then work. One of our passengers, Harry Kane, mutinied under the orders of Mr. Cronin, but after considerable desultory warfare, it was unanimously decided that Mr. Cronin was the victor. Mr. Cox was making his maiden voyage aboard so large a ship, and consequently spent his time in learning the old channels, at the same time keeping a sharp look-out for new ones. A meeting of the passengers was called at which we decided to choose a president. James Daley was unanimously elected. After being out of port about a month, Fr. Maguire ceased active work and the ship was remodeled so as to contain only two parts; the passengers were re-assigned to their respective places, one-half of us claiming Mr. Cox for our pilot, and the other claiming Mr. Cronin. We sighted the ship upon which the class of 1910 were finishing their cruise, and having communicated with it, we were invited aboard for a smoke-talk. There we met the classes of 1910, 1911, and 1912, and spent a most enjoyable evening, being highly amused by the versatile entertainers of the class of 1910, especially Coveney and Noonan. We clamored for a little excitement of our own and after a few stormy meetings decided upon running a dance, the committee for which was Daly — pardon me, I meant — duly appointed. During these meetings, all windows were ordered open, lest anyone should be prostrated by the hot air. After the meeting Jett ' Hagerty, the Pepperell strong man, was sent downstairs to box the compass, and the compass won on points. He came up and reported finding Sallaway running around the lower deck in a gymnasium costume. Sallaway being questioned as to the reason of this, replied that he was training for a mile race with Doc Phelan to which he had been challenged but which unfortunately was never held. It was the concensus of opinion, however, that neither of them could run a mile. Our committee on banquets reported that we would stop over at Riverbank Court on the evening of January 29th and enjoy a banquet. In our mad search for wisdom we paused long enough to take aboard Fr. Doherty of Woodstock, who gave us our retreat, the first for many of us. At the Marquette Prize Debate held during April, Vincent Hickey was awarded the medal, and to him goes the honor of being the only one in our class to M ' in a pi ' ize for debating during our four years ' journey. A baseball team was formed, which dis- tinguished itself in its famous no-hit, no-run game with Lynn Classical High School. A team chosen on its intellectual ability, how- ever, as was ours, is not quite as efficient as one chosen on the ability gjubSurri PagtSB of the players. Our long-anticipated dance was held on the 12th of May. Early in June Dick Kane, the man who made Fred Kimball famous, gathered us around him in the cabin and bade us a sad farewell. For provision he placed in a small boat the stock of knowl- edge he had acquired during the year (Mr. Cronin says it would have fitted in his watch-pocket without crowding the watch) and casting away the line that held him to us, we soon left him behind. On the sixteenth of June we stopped at the little town of Rest situated on Tranquility Bay, and here our superiors told us we were to stay till the following September, when we should re-embark upon our journey. Loud cheers greeted this announcement, and yet we were loath to separate from our fellow-passengers with whom we were now all well acquainted. We had a vague feeling, also, that there were some who would stroll too far from port and who would not be found when we should re-embark. We gladly welcomed the proffered respite from toil, however, and joj ' fuUy scattered about in search of happiness and enjoyment. OPHOMORE Year found us re-assembled for our cruise on September 1.1. Our vessel had been overhauled and now consisted of one main room under the command of Fr. Devlin, S. J. Many of our companions of the former journey were conspicuous by their absence. Among these were Tom Fitzgerald, Fred Foley, George Virgin, Leo Connolly, Ted Lavin, Jeff Hagerty, Joe Gaynor, Fred Kimball, and a few others who had strolled so far away that we can get no account of them. We gathered together for a re-election of officers. Matt Duggan being chosen president by acclamation. The Rev. Fr. Cusick, than whom no better pilot ever trod the deck of the Studiosus, appeared upon the scene to teach us chemistry. After telling us the grave dangers of experiments with hydrogen and oxygen, and that whole classes had been killed performing them, he proceeded to unite the two with another substance to form a white light. The hydrogen hose broke and a lighted gas jet threatened ruin to the cabin. His quick presence of mind saved us, and having re- arranged his apparatus he announced that he would repeat the experiment. The scramble that followed this statement would make the rush hour in the Park Street subway look like a chess tournament. We spoke the ship that bore the class of 1911 and were invited aboard for a smoke-talk. There we met some men who had sailed this self-same river some years before, and who now gave us some J agpga f-ubOIurrt impressions about the great world beyond. We listened with pleasure to James Dorsey, Timothy Murnane, and Hon. Joseph H. O ' Neil. Fr. Cusick determined to displaj ' to the passengers what some of us did not know about chemistry, and announced that a specimen would be held in the main saloon. Some one would have to demon- strate the blasting power of dynamite on brick to have any attention from our visitors. In a debate on the subject, Did Hamlet delay? the palm of victory was awarded to Gannon over his competitors, Phelan, Sallaway and Daley. One of our passengers, Brennan, joined with Sullivan, ' 14, and Barry, ' 14, to give battle to the Clark College cruiser. Arguments were used for weapons, and Clark went down to defeat. On January 17th we put ashore for our first college Home night. All those who, under the maroon and golden banner of old B. C, had traversed this broad stream before us, gathered together in one mighty body and Alma Mater opened wide her arms and welcomed Home with joy her returning sons. She rejoiced in the record they had made in the annals of church and state for loyalty, for justice, for civic integrity, and for true man-hood. To us, her younger sons, she said, Go ye and do likewise. Two weeks later at Riverbank Court we enjoyed our sophomore banquet and there renewed the pleasures we had experienced at our Freshmen banquet the j-ear before. Fr. Devlin called all hands on deck and read a short passage from Kennedy ' s Cicero. To show that great minds run in the same channels, he then read twelve other papers written by passengers each containing exactly the same words as Kennedy. How Kennedy could have ootten his translations before ours were even written is something that has always been a cause of wonderment to me. Some one crowned Bill Flynn with a rubber which he promptly hurled out a window. To print what Bill said on this occasion in a Sunday school book would seriously hamper its sale. During the excitement attending tliis assault on Bill, Bro. Workhard stepped on a star-board tack and was carried below. Tom Gannon assisted in defeating Fordham in our annual debate. The Rev. Fr. Lane gave our retreat. At the close of the same, our pilot got everybody on deck by turning in a still alarm that the breakfast was on the house. The crowd dressed like Gus McMahon making the 8:17 train for Wilmington. This was the last occasion on which the house treated the crowd. About the middle of June, we slowly steamed into the harbor of Repose, dropped our anchors, and scattered abroad to come together the following September and take up the third stage of our journey. g-ubSurri Pagp Iflfl UNIOR Year discovered nine vacant chairs at our table when we first appeared for breakfast after resuming our journey on Sept- ember 11. Dowd, Linehan, Shea, and Rivers had been enchanted by the air and scenery of Brigliton, and had decided to tarry there for a few years. Bill Fh ' nn had been felled by the dart of Cupid as he wandered through the streets of Lynn and thus ipso facto separated himself from us. Joseph J. Fitzgerald had taken up civil engineering, where on account of his extreme height he makes use of his own body as a rod. Ryan and Sullivan continued their quest for knowledge in other channels, and our old friend Pat Sherry decided to enter that most abused — and justly so — profession of book-agent. We had been out but a few days when we picked up a dory containing Jim Kelly and Fred Brady who said they had just deserted the good ship Holy Cross. They were immediately introduced to our new pilot, Rev. Fr. Jessup. On account of his previous good work, Matthew Duggan was unanimously elected our president for a second term. He immediately took up the question of a Junior Prom., which was opposed by some, notably Sallaway, but in favor of which Daley gave fifty-seven varieties of reasons. Our old friend, Mr. Kiehne, S.J., appeared again upon the scene to teach us physics. He was considerably worried by the ghost of the violin, and spent some time searching around the cabin for that funnj noise that sounded like a tuning fork to him. But like all true ghosts it was here, it was there, it was everywhere, and Mr. Kiehne could not seem to locate it. To our physics course, however, is due our finding out that the tinie for one complete osculation depends entirely on the circumstances. Overcome by this answer, Mr. Kiehne stuck his elbow into a jar of water and the panic that followed made a football scrimmage look like a procession of choir boys. All hands received a holiday to welcome our distinguished alumnus, William Cardinal O ' Connell, and on March 19, a public reception to him took place. Jim Murray called us all on deck to see one of our small boats rapidly drawing away. The roll was called and Dan Hurld was discovered missing. All was soon clear to us. He had heard the song of the Lorelei and had fallen a victim to her charms. As he finally left our gaze he was rowing vigorously in the direction of Stoneham. Our one grand social event of the season, the Junior Prom, was held on April 12th. Disdaining all precedent, and desiring only the comfort, ease, and enjoyment of our guests, our committee secured the Somerset for the occasion. In brilliancy and numbers, our Prom far surpassed all those that had preceded it, and we set a standard up to which our successors can look for many a year to come. On agflOl S ' ubOIurrt the first of May we heard some mention of a year-book and a committee of three was appointed to look into the feasibilitj of tlie matter. The question of a year-book, however, was completely over- shadowed by the question of officers for the fourth and last year of our cruise. Gannon was heralded as the logical candidate for presi- dent, Sallaway was advocated on account of his work for the class, while Brennan was proclaimed as the man with the watchword ' Equality. The campaign that followed would make a democratic caucus look like the jug-room on a holidaj ' . Burke called a mass- meeting of his colleagues on the port side of the vessel and it almost turned turtle. Trim the ship, roared our pilot, and Marty O ' Connor arose to remark that we were severely handicapped as Henderson was the only dress-maker in the crowd. Gannon and Sallaway finally made a dash for the chair, and Gannon squeezed in ahead. In the Fulton debate we were represented bj Gannon; and in the oratorical contest by Casey, Phelan, Sallaway, and Gannon. Utterly fatigued by our exertions we dropped our anchors, and sought once more the comforts and enjoyments of vacation. In our astronomy class Brady tried to find the sun by the equator method; Donovan hit him just below the equinoctial colure and Doc Fitzgerald with the compass needle took seven stitches. In the chemistry room, the passengers received a turkish bath for which they had not paid and had no need. Truly did Shakcspere say Macbeth shall sleep no more, for he will alwaj s be a living character in our minds after this year ' s production. On January 30th we at- tended the Junior Prom., which in grandeur and magnificence rivalled our own the preceding year. To the Junior class we are deeply indebted for the glorious reception they tendered to us on that auspicious occasion. At the Fulton debate we were again represented by Tom Gannon and also bj ' Frank Sallaway, Jack Casey acting as an alternate. At the annual home night, we met the grads and grad-nots and passed a pleasant evening in their companj Fr. Geoghan conducted our annual retreat, for us the last as students of Boston College. Now, dear reader, 1 have carried you close to the conclusion of our four years ' sojourn. The Pierian springs so long sought by us appear almost within our grasp in the shape of an A.B. degree. Beyond this point, a heavy veil of fog shuts oflf my vision. But every cloud has its silver lining and so the keen eye of one of us has pierced the filmy veil that separates us from the future. To our class pi ' ophet, therefore, do I humbly refer you if you desire to pursue further the history of the Class of 1913. Thomas J.

The Boston College Stylus has no ' been in existence for nearly thirtj years, having been originated in 1884. The first editor-in-chief was Dr. Eugene Mc- Carthy, while intimately connected with him and aiding him with their best efforts were Rev. F. A. Cunningham, ' 84, and Mr. Timothy Coakley. It is always difficult to set forth ujjon its journey any new enterprise of this nature; and the founders of the Stylus were not in any way exempt from the general rule: thej met difficulties, and many of them. But they faced them all and in a spirit of persevering detei-mination they battled with every obstacle and were so far successful that they placed the Stylus on a fairly strong foundation. The so-called Stylus Association, that originated at the same time, did much by mass meetings and other well directed efforts to give the infant magazine publicity and to arouse the students and those in any way interested in the college itself to a proper spirit of apprecia- tion. The labors of these pioneers bore fruit and although the Stylus received somewhat of a setback several years after its birth, due to accumulation of adverse circumstances, yet on the whole it has prospered exceedingly and today ranks well among the leaders in college publications. The Stylus serves a two-fold purpose: it acts as an aid and an incentive to literary development among the students and has been the only means of communication between the Alumni and the Under- graduates. Its contents are varied and interesting: only the best contributions being accepted, and these, too, must have passed a certain standard. Brief, lyric poems, light, epigrammatic essays, short stories and an occasional long, critical essay constitute the text of the average monthly issue. The editorial columns. Alumni Acroama, Domi, Book uh(2lurri Pagp IDB Review, Athletics, Exchanges, and Class Notes have alwaj ' s been in capable hands and of excellent literaiy character. Under the editorship of Thomas L. Gannon — the Stylus this year has well maintained its traditions. Matthew C. Duggan, ' 13, deserves great credit for his able perform- ance of his arduous duties of business manager. The other members of the present Senior Class who are members of the editing board are: John P. Curley, James M. Daley, Thomas F. Hanron, James P. Kelley, Bennet J. O ' Brien, and Francis L. Phelan. The representatives of the other classes are : Patrick J. Dawson, ' 14, John J. Quirk, ' 14, John Taylor, ' 14, Edward A. Sullivan, ' 14, Fred W. Wennerberg, ' 15, Jas. W.

Fr. Fulton, S. J., first presided, was its result. Under this name the Society continued its work until November 7, 1890, when, acting upon the suggestion of the Reverend Moderator, Mr. A. J. Mullan, S. J., the Society voted to be known hencefortli as the Fulton Debating Society of Boston College. A seal was chosen, and to Mr. P. J. Scanncll, ' 94, was entrusted the work of engraving it. The design embodied an eagle surmounting a scroll and a shield containing the portrait of Rev. Fr. Fulton, sur- mounted by a laurel wreath; the name of the Societj ' at the base of the scroll; the date of its foundation set in a rosette at the lower part of the wreath, and the space between the upper portion and the arms of the same fdled by the motto ' Par Pari ' . Every year since 1890, a prize debate has been held, and always before large and appreciative audiences. The winners of these debates have been : 1890 William A. Murphy 1902 Joseph A. Lennon 1891 Joseph C. Pelletier 1903 Philip F. Kennedy 1892 Daniel J. Gallagher 1904 William T. Miller 1893 John J. Douglass 1905 Edward J. Campbell 1894 William L. Sullivan 1906 Andrew J.

Murray On December 29, 1890, in the College Hall, the members presented the Great Breach of Promise Case of Robson vs. Chawley , acquitting themselves with marked distinction. The fame of the Society grew apace and its public debates became red-letter events in educa- tional circles. A casual glance over the list of past judges reveals among others of almost equal prominence, the names of His Eminence, William Cardinal O ' Connell, Hon. Frederick 0. Prince, Hon. Thomas J. Gargan, Richard H. Dana, John Boyle O ' Reilly, James Jeffrey Roche, Gen. Francis A. Walker, Judge Joseph D. Fallon, Judge Robert Grant, g-ubSurri Pagpll2 President E. H. Capen of Tufts, Jos. C. Pelletier, James J. Storrow, Hon. David I. Walsh, Louis Frothingham, and many more whose presence was indicative of the liigh rank which the Fulton held among the organizations of Boston. Of like interest with that of the prize debates, has been the enthusiasm and zeal manifested in the intercollegiate debates with Georgetown and Fordham. Although for a few years much of the old-time spirit lay quiescent, the resumption of relations with George- town and Fordham and the victories of the B. C. over both in 1910 and 1911 have brought the old Par Pari of the Fulton once again to the fore. The laurels of the Society have been gleaned however, not only from contests with these sister colleges, but also in the contest with the Harvard Forum, which took place in the College Hall, on March 24, 1898. Moreover, to show their willingness to defend their reputation, the Fulton members at different times issued challenges to Dartmouth, Williams, Maine, Colbj ' , Bowdoin, and other colleges. The annual banquets of the Fulton, usually held during the Christmas holidaj ' s, were also for some years a favored fixture, and their lapse in recent times is a cause of regret which we hope to see removed in the not distant future. And now the Forum at University Heights beckons alluringly to the embryo orators, the shadowy forms of Demosthenes and Cicero hover like guardian genii over the rostrum and seats where, like the senators of ancient Bome, the sages of succeeding centuries will assemble to discuss the problems and shape the destiny of our country, to perpetuate the glories of the past, and by their deeds to make the Fulton of the future a credit to its traditions, to its founders, and to the Mother under whose guidance it has reached its place of honor among the debating societies of this country. J. M. F. D. %i)t Annual Boston College (9ratorieal Contest S another evidence of the higli esteem in which puhlic speaking is licid at Boston College — there has been established for some years past, an annual contest in oratory, open to all members of the four college classes. The speeches delivered on the occasion are original compositions on any subject selected at the student ' s option. The prize is awarded on super- iority in composition and in delivery. This year ' s contest was held in the College hall on Wednesday evening. May the 21st, and consisted in the following speeches: The True vs. the False A National Need Democracy Character Child Labor The New Cri ' sade The Conqi ' Est of Christianity Socialism Ideals The Menace The Immigrant The French Revolution James M.

Wennerbeeg Medal Winner 1913 IGHTY oaks from littlo acorns grow is an adage which can be most l iai)propriately applied to the growth and achievements of tlie Marquette Debating Society, lor tliis organization has arisen from an auxiliary club of the Fulton Debating Society to the position of the junior debating society of the college, with a record envied by many and equalled by few societies of a similar grade. The Marquette Society was founded in 1902 by the Rev. Redmond J. Walsh, S. J., former professor and prefect of studies of our college, to serve as an institution to accommodate those unable to gain admis- sion in the Fulton Society. But as time passed on, conditions changed, and the scope of the work of the Marquette Society changed, so that in a few years it became the junior society for members of the fresh- man and sophomore classes, and is now a society, the membership of which is recognized by the two youngest classes with as nruch respect as membership in the senior society is considered bj the two philosophy classes. Negotiations were entered into with Clark College of Worcester, and as a result in 1910, a splendid and eloquent team, directed and assisted by Mr. Cox, well represented the Marquette Society at Worcester. Success attended this first contest, and each j ear since then, a friendly yet hard fought battle has ensued between the two colleges. For these past two years, the excellence of our junior debaters has steadily increased, a fact due to a great extent to their moderator, Mr. William F. McFadden, S. J., and the commendable work accom- plished by the Society shows the interest and enthusiasm instilled by the advice and encouragement of its present director. With its annual prize debate and intercollegiate contest, the Marquette Societ} ' is fast advancing into the field of famous debating societies and is gradualh ' attaining that high standard of excellence which its founder must have desired it to gain when he used his influence towards its formation. Its record speaks for itself, and admiration and congratulation on its marvelous growth cannot be too abundantly offered its moder- ators and members. V. J. H.

In that year it was decided by those in authority that the presentation of one of the immortal plays by the students would be a great aid to them in the study of literature. And so The Merchant of Venice was chosen and staged under the direction of the well- beloved Father Fulton. The test proved of value and was followed the next year by Julius Caesar, then by Richard III, and in 1870 by Coriolanus. Boston College had formed the habit of playing Shakespeare and hopes never to break it. Each year, with only a few exceptions at least, one of the plays has been given. As a result of this policy fourteen of the plays have been performed, and this is, as far as we know, a record for amateurs. In fact we know of no professional record surpassing this save that of the English actor, Ben Greet, who has prochiced twenty of the plays. This comparison is fair, for while our College casts change each year or two, all the fourteen plays have been given during the time that Mr. Willis has been in chai ' ge of our dramatics. Of the forty-three Shakespearean pro- ductions given from 1867 to 1912, The Mer- chant of Venice and Henry IV have been most often portrayed, each having been per- formed seven times. Richard III comes next with five representations. Julius Caesar and Macbeth have been chosen each four times. Hamlet was enacted three times, Corio- lanus, Richard II, King John, Henrj V, and The Comedj ' of Errors were each given twice, while King Lear, The Tempest, and Twelfth Night are recorded each with one production. Of course there have been occasions when the play was repeated two or three nights in succession — the foregoing list indicates only ALAS Poor Yok ck ' . Yoo ' (?£ ntOT THE ONLY deavhead in the Houser g ttb®urri Pagpl2n the number of times that the several plays were selected for the annual presentation. It is not within the scope of this article to give anything like a detailed account of dramatics at Boston College. There is not space here, nor was the necessary historical data at hand to undertake such a task. The writer has been asked only to set down a few facts and a few thoughts which come to him during an experience of some j ' ears on our well-trodden stage. His time there has been spent more inside the wings than before the foot-lights, but even in that retirement he has not failed to appreciate the great benefit which comes to those who take part in these plays. To read one of these great works in the quiet of one ' s study is helpful. To see it performed by well-trained actors is perhaps better. But better still is the participation in the play itself, and this even though the student ' s part consist only in shouting with the mob, Villains ! Traitors ! or such like. It is necessary for the member of the cast to attend rehearsals day after day. From the frequent repetition he has memorized not only his own lines but those of many of the others in the play. He has seen all the principles of elocution exemplified. Under the guidance of a skilled director he has profited by his own mistakes and by those of others. He has seen hidden nreanings brought out and obscure passages made clear. He has seen a great episode vitalized, while at the same time his mind has been fdled with high thouglits and his ear attuned to the matchless majesty of the lines. He has learned something of the choice of words. He begins to know the use of imagery. He acquires a certain sense of harmony in sentence structure. He is impressed by the vigor of thought and the beauty of expression. His interest in the high class of dramas is stimulated. His ambition to become a good speaker is aroused. How many a graduate of Boston College who is today an orator of recognized ability may attribute the beginning of his faculty of speech to his college days when he Did enact Julius Caesar and was accounted a good actor. As I write I have before me the record books of The Boston College Athenaeum. This was a dramatic society formed in 1891. The book contains the minutes of one hundred meetings during the yeai ' s from March 23, 1891, to May, 1894. Just one hundred meetings and then, though it was a splendid organization it stopped short, never to go again, — wherefore I know not. I can only regret that such a useful society has not a place among the few organizations which are so fruitful of good to the students at our Alma Mater. In its methods The Athenaeum was very similar to its debating societies. These latter devote their time to the science of debate, their public appearance being in a prize debate. The object of the former was to study the drama and to prepare for the annual play. At each a g p 12 1 of the weekly meetings some member who had been previously appointed read an essaj ' on the play under consideration, or on some particular scene or character of the play. Four or five members who had also been appointed two weeks previously would then enact one of the scenes. A stage-manager was chosen for each meeting and also a critic. Any notice of Boston College Dramatics, however brief, would be incomplete without a reference to Mr. Joseph H. Willis of the Class of 1890. As student and teacher he has had an experience of twenty-eight years on our stage. In his student days Mr. Willis played Bassanio in that memorable production of ' 85. Later he won fame as King Robert of Sicilj ' and as a crown for his student efforts he played the greatest of all — Hamlet. His many years of study of the classical drama, together with his intense dramatic power, have made him an ideal instructor. Had he chosen the stage as ills profession he might easily have rivalled the leaders of the art in America. But he has remained at his Alma Mater, giving to her sons the benefits of his splendid abilities. Those who have played under his direction know him as the tireless worker, the finished actor, the kind friend. They admire him for his fine talent, they love him for his charming personality. Of course there were plaj s other than those of Shakespeare given at the College. The first of these was Handy Andy, produced in 1870. Among other plays were William Tell, Sebastian the Martyr, Rob Roy, Guy Mannering, The School for Scandal, The Rivals, and The Fool ' s Bauble. French plays have not been wanting. In 1901 L ' Academic Fran9aise under the direction of Professor Moreira enacted Les Enfants d ' Edouard, a play which bj reason of its metrical structure is not often attempted by English-speaking students. Coming down to more immediate times four French plays were staged by Father De Butler. These were Les Memoires du Diable, Brouilles Depuis Wagram, L ' Avocat Patelin, and Le Medicin Malgre Lui. The first of these Avas given by the College students only, and the three last by the High School boys among whom were several from the classes of First Year French. This fact becomes more remarkable when we consider the excellence of the performances, for they were of a very high order. Father De Butler is not easily satisfied. With him it is Tout bein, on rein, and that is why people well acquainted with the French drama have written to tell him of the great delight they took in the performance of his boys. The writer has knowledge of only one play ever attempted in ubEurrt a gs 1 2 2 German and this was William Tell. The Class of ' 72 gave this play in English, but it was left for the Class of 1910 to try it in the language of Schiller. This was in 1907. Certain scenes were given a private production, and those who saw the piece said that the lines were well spoken, with good accent and good discretion. Oh yes, let us cling to our Shakespeare. Nothing can take its place. But it is the dawn of a new day. Increased opportunity is at hand. Boston Colleg e has outgrown her old home. The mast and wheel are no longer at her door. She has won the lawn and woodland dell which the Poet of the Class of ' 80 spoke of with some- thing like prophecy. Now may our actors when the weather is fine practice in the clear open air of University Heights and so improve their voices. And wlw should they not set their scene there on the greensward, so that some sunny afternoon in the early summer we maj ' all go out to The Heights and sec As You Like It played where Arden Forest will be real trees and where the illumination will be the sunlight sifting down through the leaves or Hashing back from the bosom of the lake. Or perhaps the Freshnien in that same beautiful setting will favor us with a performance of Duo Captivi as it was done in the time of Plautus, or the Sophomores give us an opportunity to see the Oedipus Tyranus or Agamemnon in the original Greek. Why should we not have something of this sort? Heretofore the opportunity has been lacking, but now it has come. Colleges that do not spend half the serious effort on Greek that we at Boston College do have enacted the Greek dramas. I offer this suggestion not in the hope that a Greek play if well presented would purchase for us golden opinions for scholarship. It would, but that is of secondary importance. The scholarship itself conies first. We have it already — let us improve upon it. The thorough understanding of the Greek text, the commitment of the lines to memory, the intelligent reading of them with proper and precise enunciation — all these things mean mental culture and that is what we want. I am not defending a thesis on the value of Latin or Greek in education, but only expressing a hope that new opportunities will awaken within us the desire to improve them. Charles A.

Dwyer Arthur Porman John B. Casey Maurice J. O ' Brien Thomas J. Brennan Bennett J. O ' Brien Ignatius W. Cox, S. J. N the early days of the Society of Jesus, a young Jesuit from Belgium, John Leon by name, was sent to teach in the Roman College, which was the principal college of the Society. He was a man of great holiness, and filled wilii a profoimd devotion to the Immaculate Mother of (lod. It was in the early days of the sixteentii century when the Church was suffering cruel persecution and the faith of men was sorely shaken. To promote iier iionor, to inspire devotion, and to implore the protection of the Queen of Heaven the young man began to assemble his students, and with prayer and hymns pay homage to Mary. The effects were soon shown. The boys became the most exemplaiy in the college and attracted the most favorable attention. The next year the Sodality numl)ered seventy and rules were formulated to govern it. From that time its growtii was rapid, and it s])read among the students of all the Jesuit colleges of Europe. In l.oSl, Pope Gregory XVIII at the petition of the Jesuit Ceneral gave it tiie sanction of the Church, and established the one in Rome as the First Primary, the Mother Sodality of the world. As the years went by, the Sodality ])assed beyond the Ijounds of the university to the universal church. From then until the present, in every Jesuit college, large or small, in the old world and in the new, it has been the chief, the tvjjical society, and thousands upon thousands of men, many the most illustrious in Church and Slate, have enrolled themselves beneath its stainless standard. True to the standards of the Order in the year 1868, when the newly established college at Boston was struggling for its existence, a sodality was founded and affiliated with the First Primary in Rome, under the title of the Immaculate Conception, and under the patronage of the gentle St. Stanislaus Kostka. While other societies of the college have had their periods of ditficulty and even oblivion the Sodality has never suffered a check. The Immaculate Mother has guarded her sons. The purpose of the Sodality is to arouse and foster in the souls of its membe rs a special devotion to the Blessed Virgin, and to encourage more than ordinary goodness among the students. The noble efforts of Sodalists in the past to live up to this high ideal, and the faithfulness of the Virgin, most faithful to those who have become specialiter mancipatis , is the secret of the success and the spread of the Sodality. B. J. O ' Brien nig|)ts of Ci)c 33lesseti Sacrament I found Him in the shining of tlic stars, I marked Him in tlie flowering of the fields, But in His ways with men I found Him not. HE bold Sir Beviderc heard these moanings from the tent of the great King Arthur just before the last weird battle of the West. Arthur was discouraged; many of his tried and trusted knights had failed him and his heart was well-nigh broken ere he fought his last great fight. Arthur ' s Knights are gone and the Bound Table is no more, but Arthur ' s cause still lives, and the Bound Table is replaced by the Holy Banquet Table, where hundreds of thousands gather today and learn the spirit of eternal knighthood. It was to serve this cause, to preserve this spirit of knightly purity, to stand in the courts of the King, as faithful attendants at the Great Banquet Table, that sixty yoimg men of Boston College, on the feast of Corpus Cliristi, 1911, assembled in the Sodality chapel and for the first time pledged their word to join Christ ' s Knighthood and to receive Him in Holy Conmiunion at least once a week. Thus in silence and lowliness the Knights of the Blessed Sacrament were born. The sequel of this lowly beginning was seen on the feast of All Saints, 1912. In the upper church seven hundred boj ' s of the College and High School met at the Eucharistic Banquet, and from seven hundrecl youthful hearts went up the prayer: We come before Thee, dear Jesus, to promise lifelong fealty and devotion to Thy sacred cause and ask admission to the bodyguard of devoted Knights who guard Thy altar throne. The prosperity of the Knights of the Blessed Sacrament is a fair index of the ideals of Boston College boys, and of the great work of spiritual upbuilding and interior sanctiflcation going on in their hearts. The idea has spread abroad; it has taken root in St. Francis Xavier College, New York. Thence it has spread to many parochial schools of the citJ B. C, however, will ever be regarded as the cradle of this inspiring and uplifting knighthood. Men are prone in these days to look for God in Nature, in the shining of the stars, nay, even to deny that God is in the heavens and that the heavens themselves tell of His glory. In His ways with men, they find Him not. The Knights of the Blessed Sacrament are living examples of the truth that In His ways with men Christ can be found, indeed it is His delight to be with the children of men. jfoottjall HE Varsity team of 1909, under the leadership of Captain Pierce, passed through a very successful season. Dr. Maguire ' s coaching was of the liighest order and a well-hahinced team was the result. The season of 1910 marked the renewal of athletic relations with Holy Cross on the gridiron. The Worcester boj ' s had a great advan- tage in weight, hut we were saved from a whitewash bj ' Leonard ' s clever goal from the field. The team suffered a great loss when Captain Ed. Hartigan left for West Point. Jack Hartigan ' s 1911 team was one of the scrappiest ever turned out at James Street. The Holy Cross game was a very bitter contest. The score was 12 to 0, with us at the short end, but this did not show the real story of the contest. The following week the team journeyed to Maine and held the strong Colby eleven scoreless for three periods. They only succeeded in wresting the game from us when our lighter team was completely exhausted. The next year Har- tigan was again chosen We were handicapped to lead the team from the start by injuries sustained bj ' several of our best men. Coach Joy worked untiringly, and the fact that the eleven finished up strong may be at- tributed for the most part to his efforts in their behalf. The prospec ts for a good team in 1913 are better than ever before, as only two men are lost by gradu- ation. We look for- ward with confi- dence to a team superior to any that has worn the maroon and gold. ap |p)p iM J ! EH ' Ht-.. ■ BT - La i p j ■ fc •sMi j aKg footbali quab of 1912 B. Conley, 3b.

The nine was strengthened, however, by the acquisition of Harrington and Mahoney from Holy Cross and by the development of several promising men from the lower classes. The sole representative of the Senior class was Bud Ryan, who captained and played center field on the team — Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman were fairly evenly represented, with the last two named having two men each and Junior having three players from her ranks on the nine. Harrington bore the brunt of the work in the box and the success of the team was due in no small measure to his all-around efTiciency. Falvey, a hitherto unknown quantity, proved to be a capable catcher. Mahoney covered first base, and Donahue, Lowe, and Murphy completed the infield. McDonald, Mclntyre, and Ryan filled the out- field positions. The team played fifteen games during the season and was the winner in twelve of these. David B. Waters managed the nine. 1911 Unlike the 1910 team, that of 1911 was composed almost entirely of veterans, having a nucleus of six former players around which to build up a nine. The new men on the team were Halligan and Donovan in the infield and O ' Brien in the outfield; of the 1910 team, McDonald, Falvey, Han-ington, Lowe, Mahoney, and Murphy still remained in College. ub®urri PaSf 130 Harrington proved to be ffilly as successful during this season as he had been the year before, while Lowe, who had played shortstop on the 1910 team, also proved to be a reliable pitcher. Falvey again caught and his ett ' ective throwing made base-stealing hazardous for his opponents. Captain Mahoney was in his old position at first base, Donovan and Halligan covered second base and shortstop respectively, while McDonald, who was shifted from the outfield, filled in at third base. The outfield consisted of Miu ' phy in left, O ' Brien in center, and either Lowe, Harrington, or Butler in right field. During the season the team was successful in ten of the sixteen games jjlayed. Raymond Lyons was manager of the nine. 1913 The outlook for 1913 seems to be very promising. After defeating Tufts 8 to in a practice game, the first scheduled game of the season was lost 1 to to Exeter. The last two games, however, against Colby and St. Michael ' s College, have been easy victories. Outside of the pitching department, where neither Woods nor Halloran measures up to the standard set by Harrington, the team is fully as strong as those of recent years. The outfield in particular, with Larry Conley in left, Linehan in center, and Captain Murphy in right field, is very fast and has compared very creditably with those of our opponents. In the infield, the work of Bob Conley, at third base, has been a feature of the early games, and his playing has been ably seconded by McDonald, Mauley, Barry, and O ' Day, the first two named alternat- ing at shortstop, Barry playing second, and O ' Day first base. Nelson, besides being a clever catcher, is a consistent hitter, and his extra-base drives have contributed materially to the first two victories of the season. Francis A. Burke is manager of the nine. IDarjSitp 25asctJaU 1910 lEJariSitp 25aj9e6aU 19 1 1 Cracli FTPjR meeting some of the best colleges in the country during the past indoor season, the track team of 1912-1913 finished its work witli a credilaljle record tliat gives great promise for tlie future. Entered in practically every important local meet by its manager, Irving J. §: Heatii, ' 13, of East Boston, the team, even though composed of only freshmen and sopiiomores, carried out its part of the program in a praiseworthy manner, whetiier ijringing home victory or succumbing to defeat only after a closely-contested struggle. Perhaps the stellar event of the track season was the annual indoor meet held last February under the auspices of the College in the James Street Gym. A more carefully prepared and system- aticalty conducted affair could not be desired. Nor were our own men wanting in the final tally, for almost every event saw the maroon and gold strijjed jersey among the leaders. Among the runners who represented the College during the year, great credit is due the captain, Leo M. McGovern, ' 15, of Brighton, who proved himself to be a helpful assistant to Coach Duffey, Daniel Sullivan, and James Duit ' y, who gained places in nearly everj local meet of the past winter. John J. Walsh, Harold Rowen and Leo M. Halloren showed themselves to be among the speediest members of the squad and thus won places on the relay team. But all the good work would not have been accomplished but for the earnest and conscientious training given the men by Arthur F. Dufl ' ey, the former world ' s champion sprinter, and the energetic and entliusiastic managing of Irving J. Heath, who not only saw that the College was fittingly represented at the various meets, but who also headed the committee in charge of our own indoor meet. Great results for future years are looked for by the many admirers of track, athletics, and hopes to see Boston once more take her place among the prominent colleges of the country in this particular line of endeavor are held by all.

Most probablj ' this was the last team that will represent the Maroon and Gold in the indoor game and its record was the equal of any that have worn the colors of B. C. Although defeated by narrow margins in the two opening games, that were played on strange floors with Tech and Tufts respectively, the five found itself later in the season, and scored decisive victories over Gushing and Andover, displaying fast form in these and in all the subsequent games. The season ' s record was more noteworthy since the team did not have the gymnasium facilities that were enjoyed by all its opponents, but was obliged to restrict its practice to two short afternoons a week in one of the municipal gynis. However, bright prospects were in sight for the next year, but the sport became unpopular among the Eastern colleges, and at B. C. it also became a victim of the waning interest. The team was captained by Matt Duggan, and the success that it experienced during the season was due in no small degree to his accurate shooting, generalship and all-around ability. Without a doubt Matt was the fastest player we ever had at B. C. The last Varsity team consisted of Captain Duggan, Gallagher, Hartigan, Haskell, I. Heath, L. Heath, and O ' Connor; Geo.
