At Loras his many friends, stunned at the loss, found it haid to realize that Father Regan was gone. His cheerful smile and winning ways had become a part of Loras in his two years on the faculty. But the man of God, the enterprising scientist had passed on. Drowning brought an untimely end to his labors as priest, student and teacher. Enrolled in the graduate school of Johns Hop¬ kins University he was only weeks short of his doctorate when death struck. Although he is gone his memory will live on in the minds of those who knew and loved him at Loras. SCIENCE . . fish i ' lu ' it. jvliiu ' ilcfinner. eorreetin THE REV. T.EROV J. EXZLER. P,..S.E.E..

The present year saw less than the usual rivalry be¬ tween organizations. A smaller number of students par¬ ticipated in more activities and enthusiasm was divided among more organizations. Heated debates over points of policy and the disposal of funds together with the frequent departures from parliamentary procedure attested to a high degree of interest. Progress was erratic but constant; decisions were the voice of the majority. Students accomplished their objectives in the typical manner of students. Attendance at rneetings set a new high while officers and members left in their wake the record of a highly successful year, the reward of much time and effort. CLUBS t irection REV. KARL G.
