be hair The College Cho-ir has, for the past two years, been under the direction of Eather E. W. Strerath, S. J., while Professor Mischka retains the' position of organist. Singing has always been considered an indispensable adjunct to religious worship, and Canisius has always given it' a prominent place and has always, we are proud and happy to say, been fortunate in the possession of a choir whose efforts were at once a 'pleasure and an honor. AI-Iymns of more than ordinary beauty are used with pleasing effect in 'connection with the old true a.nd tried church classics, and none has ever been attempted of which the young choristers have not acquitted themselves with the greatest credit. Every selection, under the masterly guidance of their director, -has bee-n a finished production. Visitors never depart without dropping a. word of prais-e and Commendation, and not infrequently the work fof the choir is -mentioned as a revelation, a real delight. C r',t - A I Sopranos. Altos. .

1BnhIit Entertainments MM . The entertainment tha.t accompanied the Reading of Marks for the I Quar- ter, November'16, 1906, took the form of a series of literary numbers on Long- fellow and 'his poetry by I andllf Academics. Eugene Martin read a concise and polished biographical sketch and Edgar Maline a thoroughly enjoyable and extremely well-wrought essay. A solo by Nicholas Eunk was followed by the story 'of Hiawatha and Evangeline,7' cleverly paraphrased by Edwin Mon- -nig and Stephen Carroll, respectively. German and Latin versions of The 77 CC 7 Slave' s Dream and The Arrow and the Song' were a. decided innovation, and Messrs. Kiefer and Metzger, who delivered them, were accorded a good- natured reception. Musical. selections by the Crlee Club Orchestra, the double quartette and Joseph llang concluded a program of unusual merit. The contest of the Academic Classes in Elocution was held in connection with the Reading of Marks for the II quarter, February 1, 1907.5 A crowded house greeted the young contestants and the audience. was not slow to evince its pleasure and appreciation. The contest it-self was spirited and highly meritorious, and so well did each and every one acquit himself that it was with great difficulty that the inal awards were made. Cf the I and TI 'Academic competitors, Messrs. Stephen W. Carroll, Edwin B. Monnig, Joseph A. Mueller, Ralph C. Kotheimer and Donald Gallagher, the last named was declared the winner. Mr. Michael Bauer was adjudged the prize over Messrs. Leon 'Stop- inski, Andrew G. Weidner, James S. Ennis and Cornelius E. Deneen, who represented III and IV Academics. U 3Bb1Ins'npiJitaI Elsputatwn ' Every year it is customary for the students of the class of philosophy to gather and treat their friends with some form of literary entertainment on the feast of St. Thomas Aquinas, the patron of philosophy, Pursuant, therefore, of this tradition, invitations were issued to many of the prominent clergy of the city to attend the solemn disputation of March 7, 1907, held in the College parlors. The Rt. Rev. Bishop Colton and about twenty-ive priests honored the occasion by their presence. Mr. A. Beasley, president of the S-t. Thomas Philosophical Society, bid all the guests welcome and spoke 'of the merits of St. Thomas regarding Chris- ' 15
