VERY REV. N. C. HOFF, Ph.D. THE RETREAT Under the directions of the Very Revenend N. C. Hoff Ph.D., Presi- dent of Mount St. Charles College, the third annual retreat was held December 5, 6, 7. The retreat this year was undoubtedly the most suc- cessful one ever conducted at Central. The success was largely due to the eloquence of Father Hoff. His clear and vivid manner of speaking deeply impressed the girls. Each morning the entire student body gathered in the study hall to hear Mass. The rest of the day was devoted to prayer, meditation, and spiritual conferences. One of the most beautiful exercises was Father HoiT's explanation of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament closed each day's exercises. On December eight, the feast of the Immaculate Conception, all the students received Holy Communion. Immediately after Mass, the girls were consecrated to the Blessed Virgin. Father Hoff then closed the re- treat by imparting the Papal blessing. Page thirty-fwo
