As we go to press, ground is being broken for the new refectory, which will supply a long-felt want and greater recreational facilities. In keeping with the architectural improvements the grounds have been enhanced by judicious landscaping. Under the capable generalship of Father Earls, the sides of the hill have been transformed from ragged, unsightly blots into beautiful smooth slopes, so that with the advent of spring, Holy Cross is indeed an idyllic spot. The vision of Father Fitton has taken material form. Bishop Fenwick, who like Constantine, saw the Holy Cross as a sign of victory, read as did the Emperor, the truth in the future. From' its ample past we predict without trepidation a continuance, of its already brilliant progress. :lt has outlived fire and malice. It is more than an institution. In the hearts of its alumni itvwill ever dwell a 'living prototype of faith, idealism' and vision. Holy Cross is F destined to grow so long as the ideal' of highereducation survives. . Q2 FEC ff? .
