Clubs were active and busy, musical groups enjoyed successful seasons, and dances held were enjoyable. Highlights of the year, no doubt: Homecoming, the Prom, and the CSMC Auction. These are The Activi¬ ties OF 1951. liii i i I-., - , t 4 ' ' ' ■ ' ■ ' v-Lv ' Student Senate This was the year of the great return in the field of student government at Loras College. For the schoolyear 1950-195 1 saw two significant steps taken, both in the nature of return to former positions. The first was the reactivating of Loras’ status with the Na¬ tional Federation of Catholic College Students, more succintly called NFCCS. The College had been only nominally a member for the two years previous, but it was decided that considerable benefit could be obtained through resumed NFCCS activity on our campus. The Senate and the school authorities agreed on the move and Loras was once again in the NFCCS family. The second step was the return of student government to the near-lethargy of former years. The initiative set in motion by the 1950 Senate bogged down, and the Senate became once more chiefly a nominal government. Twice however, the Senate came to life with tremcjidous enthusiasm and put over events which might well be called productions, both of which were truly great, evincing excellent student activity, energy, and cooperation. Reference is made to the Homecoming celebration, surely the greatest in school his¬ tory and one of which students can be justly proud, and to the February Catholic Press Exhibit, a joint project of Nf-CCS and the Student Senate. The Rev. E. P. Sullivan was moderator. Officers were James McCabe. President: J. Thomas Finucan. Vice President: Thom¬ as V. Lynch. Secretary and Treasurer (enlisted in service), and Jeruld Weiland.

Federation of Catholic College Students, nation¬ al student group from which Loras had defected in the past year. It was a wise and advantageous move on the part of the Student Senate to reaffiliate, since the benefits realized in the brief time since their de¬ cision are but a small part of the potential. NFCCS aims at making the voice of Catholic students more effective on a national scale, and endeavors to improve the spiritual, cultural, and social life of the individual student. Commis¬ sions, with a chairman on every campus, arc the immediate means utilized, working under a well-organized national and regional set-up. Here at Loras, Jim Colloton was head man, acting as Senior Delegate or chairman. He was assisted first by Junior Delegate Tom Finucan, with the office taken over by Jeruld Weiland upon Finucan’s resignation. Major activities of the year included the Feb¬ ruary Catholic Press Exhibit (see p. 145), trips to various NFCCS conventions and workshops, and the sponsorship of several projects for stu¬ dent relief overseas.

A popular organization, it boasts and its purpose is to familiarize the students with f a popular or semi-classical vein. Among its other activities for the year was included the Spring Music Festival held in May, 1951, in Davenport. Another musical stage production is planned for the Fall of 1951. In its short history the Glee Club has been a progressive group, and we wish it the same success in the future.

Vested Choir The close of the 1951 school year marked one of the most suc¬ cessful seasons for this well-known organizatton on the Loras Cam¬ pus The Vested Choir for the forty-two years since its founding by Rev Alphonse Dress in 1909 has been lending a melodic back¬ ground to Solemn High Mass in the college Chapel each Sunday and to the important pontifical ceremonies in St. Raphael s Cathedral, particularly those on Palm Sunday. It has. for the past two years been under the excellent direction of Rev. Albert Carman. The Schola is an integral part of the choir and consists of alter¬ nating chorists who sing the Gregorian propers of the Mass. Its membership is not permanent, so that the experience may be gained by all the forty-five members of the Choir. Besides its functions at religious ceremonies the Vested Choir also makes an annual Spring Concert tour of cities in the Middle West.

In set¬ ting up a new system of procuring staff mem¬ bers. considerable time was lost before the first number made its appearance in March. This loss, however, should be compensated for in the new “ladder system” in which qualified under¬ classmen are given staff positions, and then will work up in succeeding years. Plans for the remainder of 1951 called for two or three more issues, to be composed of compositions submitted in the annual literary contests in essay, verse, and short story. Heading this year’s staff were James Newell, senior English major, and Robert Hires, gradu¬ ate who returned as a special student and has had considerable experience on the Spokesman. V Cluh Composed only of students who have earned a major award at Loras, the Monogram Club has many of the “big” men of the school among its ranks. While promoting the best interests of the college by fostering a better school spirit, it also, as quoted from its constitution, volunteers services to the administration for the school activities.” A very activT Club, it bas accomplished much during the year through the combined efforts of its moderator, Fr. Duane Brady, and the members. Numbered among these were the Fall Dance and the annual picnic which was held in the spring. Also among its undertakings was the awarding of sports em¬ blems to graduating Senior lettermen. T he initiation night is an enjoyable activity for the older members, when the incoming lettermen are oriented and ac¬ quaint with the workings of the club and its ideals. ' The men of the Monogram Club have given much to their school in time and effort and our appreciation goes to these sportsmen who promote at their every opportunity the welfare, progress, and reputation of Loras.

The purpose of this organization is to stimulate the growth of the highest ideals with regard to professional relations, to study the activities of professional groups, and to foster active co-operation between student associations of future teachers. Accompanying such activities would be a development of pro¬ fessional attitudes in its members. During the year, the Loras Chapter of the I.L. I ' .A. has had representatives at the Fall Regional Meeting at Upper Iowa, the State Convention at Des Moines, and the Spring Regional Meeting at Wartburg. Joint meetings were held with Clarke College and Dubuque University. At one meeting. Mr. Johan¬ sen.

Then came the annual eruption once again of activity • . . typewriters began to grind out copy for posterity (poor defenseless posterity) and long arms began to reach out of Keane Hall parlor to snatch unwary students before the all-revealing camera. Other hands began to pop flash¬ bulbs and make up lists and to line up clubs for their an¬ nual “coat-and-tie” day. Editors began to run up and down Loras Boulevard, cursing its vertical slopes as they went to and fro from photographer, printer, and engraver. There were many people who worked, as a glance at these pictures will tell. They all worked hard, some of them especially so. and they deserve mention here for their labors: Jim Schlueter for his excellent line drawings of our campus edifices. Jerry Walsh, Myron Purdy, Bob Hires. Chuck Cremer, and John Longtin for always being ready and willing to offer time and talent. Ralph Meyer and his crew toiled hard to fill the coffers with advertising revenue. And Gene McIntyre and Tom Finucan—being editors lakes an amazing amount of time. To all of them, a vote of thanks for a job well done. 1 1 L n Meyer ' s Men ot Money, the Business Staf], left to right: Griffin. Whalen. Runde. Kruse. McCormick. Condon. Scherrman. O ' Brien.

Because we are blessed with what must be the nation’s most versa¬ tile musical crew. This year as in every year, no college event was complete without the appearance of the Loras Band. “Gayman’s Galavanting Gabriels ” They began the year with music for all home football games and pep meetings, played their usual variety of popular tunes, martial music, and novelty numbers. And there were a few surprises at half¬ time which drew wide acclaim, but defy classification into any of the usual musical categories. Came the Iowa Conference Championship, again with St. Am¬ b rose. but this lime in Cedar Rapids, the band was again present but found that the Ambrose musicians had feared to face another Hal Dance. More restrained, but not less interesting, were the Christmas and Spring concerts, annual events at which the band combined serious music with their lighter offerings. Both were highly succcsslul.

Karl Klein the entire season was made an out¬ standing one. Herman Wouk’s The Traitor opened the season and in its large cast brought to light several promising young actors, including James D. Morrey, John Hagan, and William Gallagher. John Husak gavT his usual fine performance; J. Thomas Finucan as the catsup king elicited a well-deserved round of ap¬ plause after each performance: and Franz Koester in the role of Another Man was the most outstanding of all. Mary Ann Kaep returned in Jean Giraudoux’s I he Madivoman of Chaillot and added another victory to her already long list of excellent interpretations for the Loras Players. Brought back for two of the many parts were Martin Koch and Thomas Hurm, veteran Players who graduated two years ago. Each gave an impeccable portrayal of the villains looking for oil under Paris. The other three madwomen were Mari¬ on Goodman, Patricia Lewis, and Adorine Meloy. Other important parts were taken by Roger Cerutti. Pauline Renier. John Longtin, Jack Gilardi, and Carl Warner. In this season Shakespeare was represented by 7 he Comedy of Errors. Another group of newcomers was used and again more talent was exposed, including Philip Schmid. John MyLychok, Robert Coleman, and Ed Krolak. The final play of this season was Thor, With Anqels by Christopher Fry. and it was a fitting climax to four brilliant productions. Large parts were taken by James Newell. James Chapman. Don Ament. Robert Spaight, and Roger Cerutti. With its four completely different kinds of plays the 1950-1951 season brought enjoyment and ap¬ preciation to each of its audiences. 7 he Frail or 7 he MadiVoman of Chaillot I he Comedy of Errors I hor.

The Labor Club, founded in the fall of 1949 and now in its second year, proposes to supplement class work in labor problems with its own informal discus¬ sions. Special emphasis is given to the importance of a Catholic education in preparing students to take an ac¬ tive part in civic, social, and labor affairs. Last year, the group studied the two famous labor encyclicals. “Quadragesimo Anno ' and ' ‘Rerum Nova- rum.” This year, the topics discussed include the Cath¬ olic Social Principles as applied to Economics. The books of Fr. John F. Cronin, Catholic Social Action. and Catholic Social Principles, laid the basis for these discussions. With existing labor conditions, the activi¬ ties of this club assume added importance. Ross Wagner Father Kurth Schlickman y Schiffer iVIcGonigle W ' c W(m I s.iy ihnt Labor Club discussions ever get hot and heavy, but you ' ll note they hold their meetings in the soundproof bandroom . . . Delta Sli� iiia ri Of the total enrollment at Loras, the ofT-campiis students comprise a large majority. Delta Sigma was created to serve this group, the purpose being indicat- cltib s name itself. The Greek letters, Delta and Sigma, are the Greek equivalents to our “d’ ' and s . D.S.—day students. Because of the size of the organization—the largest 3t Loras—its many functions are in the hands of a committee. On it were Marc O’Brien. John O Brien. Paul Spaight. Bob Perry, and John McLy- chok, working with Father Norbert Barrett as mod- erator. These men worked toward the enrichment of the social and religious lives of their fellow Delta Sigs. As a supplement to the religious activities of its members, Delta Sigma sponsored occasional retreats. On such retreats a small group would spend a few days at New Melleray. the Trappist monastery Just west of Dubuque. Of a more social nature, several smokers were held year. These informal get-togethers provid¬ ed the members with a fine opportunity for getting acquainted with one another, an opportunity especi¬ ally appreciated by incoming freshmen. In addition, dances like the Initiation Dance and the Sweetheart oall were given throughout the year. Delta Sigma’s central committee, left to right. Ray Paiilus.

As the Crusader of old, the Catholic Student Mission Crusader of today fights the never-end¬ ing battle of winning the world for Christ. His contribution to the effort is made as part of a national group, the Catholic Student Mission Crusade, which is so organized that all educa¬ tional age groups can be included in the work. At Loras a two-fold purpose has been defined for the Crusader: the promoting of mission¬ mindedness among students and the raising of funds for the Home and Foreign Missions. To¬ ward the first end he works continually, in the discussions at the monthly meetings, in his pray¬ ers, in fact, in all his activities and contacts. Then, to meet both the normal demands of the unceasing mission work and any special pleas that a mission group might make for, say, such things as books and clothes, the Crusaders have set up several projects. Chief among these are the handling of the refreshment stands at the college athletic events and the holding of the annual Mission Auction. At the Auction items donated by the students are sold to the highest bidder.

I To put it another way, the members of the Curia, in their bi-monthly meetings, attempt to improve their technique, not in formal oratory, of course, but in the more informal and com¬ municative methods of modern-day public speaking. But attention is also focused on the content of the talks so that the members may acquaint themselves more thoroughly with cur¬ rent problems and the opinions of their fellow students. Thus the topics considered extend to any field of affairs that is currently varied from the question of defending Europe to that of out¬ lawing boxing.

William Most. Father Most, who is himself tremendously in¬ terested in photography, sponsored the group to aid, by mutual cooperation, those also interested in it at the college. Considering photography as an art, a science, and a hobby, the Club has promoted it as such to the students until its membership now num¬ bers twenty-five, all of whom have thoroughly studied these aspects of it. At the meetings twice a month slides and lec¬ tures by the members are alternately on the agenda. A picnic is held every year, and the Club has access to the darkroom for developing, print¬ ing, and enlarging. Moderator---Father Most President —..Jack Cavanaugh Vice President __ ...

The efficiency and the courtesy with which they carry out these functions are true criteria of the gentlemanly demeanor of the students at Loras and represent us in a fine light to the pa¬ trons of our activities.

Fol¬ lowing the desires of its founder, Bishop Loras, the idea at Loras has always been to keep its seminarists in contact with their fellow students, in the realization that this will better prepare them for parish work later on. As a result of this tradition. Clerics will be found active in every phase of the College s ac¬ tivities. Further, by virtue of their popularity and hard work, the Clerics have been highly in¬ fluential in all these activities. To bear out this fact, one need only examine the large rcentage of Clerics elected to the various club omccs. In addition to this tradition of liberal associa¬ tion. the Clerics, of course, adhere to many others. They are encouraged to liberalize their courses as much as possible while here. Clerics attend morning meditation, receive daily Communion, and make weekly Confessioiis. The Senior Clerics act as Masters of Ceremonies at the Sunday Solemn High Masses. A special occasion of the year was the Clerics’ participation in the Holy Week ceremonies at St. Raphael’s Cathedral. These included the singing in Gregorian Chant at the W ednesday and Thursday evening Tenebrae services. Train¬ ing in the Chant is a regular part of the Clerics course. Then, on Good Friday, the group took part in the ritual of the Tre Ore. Moderator..Father Ament a • ' ' • •f rnammm - r ■ ' 1 - : ‘ imH From row lefi to right: Schmitt. CiMlhwohl. Pciichi. Mover.

FOOTBALL Coach Wally Fromhart. back for his fourth season as head mentor of Duhawk football strategy, launched the Loras grid machine into battle eleven times during the 1950 cam¬ paign, highest number of games played in a season in Loras football history. The Loras- men proved themselves capable of handling the rigorous schedule by compiling a respect¬ able record of eight wins and three defeats. Offense was the keynote as the Duhawks raced to a 40-6 victory over St. Joseph’s Pumas, and a decisive 55-6 decision from Iowa Conference foe Wartburg. St. Ambrose snapped the winning streak at two straight at Davenport, leaving the Purple and Gold on the short end of a 30-13 score. Fired up by the defeat, the Duhawks re¬ bounded for six consecutive victories, four of which were over Iowa Conference opponents, giving Loras command of the Northern Divi¬ sion loop chase. Upper Iowa fell, 52-6, West- mar was crushed in the wake, 46-12, and Luther succumbed after a bitter first half, 30- Within twenty-four hours of the Luther game, the Duhawks gained their fifth consec¬ utive win and their sixth of the season in the Head Coach Wally Fromhart Hciil Lords Vdivsily!

Over the two-year span that Jim McCabe. Jack Rohan. Ernie Skraby. Gene Ternes and Ted Moskal operated as Coach Dowd’s starting five, they consistently demonstrated their affinity to doing things in pairs. In consecutive seasons each of these players topped the 200 mark in scoring while twice accumulating a team total of over 2000 points, winning in the process two Iowa Conference championships, two Midlands Conference titles and a brace of trips to the National Catholic Invita¬ tional Tournament in Albany. N. Y. Record breaking as well as scoring was second nature to this high-powered five, mostly accomplished in the person of Jim McCabe, stellar Duhawk forward. Jumpin’ Jim took possession of every scoring record of the college dur¬ ing his four years of court activity on the Loras campus, including the ’49-’50 individual scoring mark of 669 points, a record he nudged a little further out of reach for future Loras players by clipping his own total in the ’50- ’5 1 campaign with a 673 point effort. All told. ‘The Jumper” rammed home an astronomical 1757 points in his college basketball career. Firemen Ted Moskal and Jack Rohan combined set shot artistry with dribbling finesse and blazing speed to give the club fast-breaking punch. Ernie Skraby won the “most improved player” label, a distinction he certainly deserved. Big Ernie played well under the boards and contributed his share of the points with a side court push shot that scored many times. Gene Ternes kept ice water running through the veins of the team all during the torrid season with his cool-as-a-cucumber playmaking. His defensive ability was remarkable, as was his rebounding skill. Gene’s knack of scoring in the clutch was likewise instrumental to victory on more than one occasion.

Baseball Coach Vince Dowd was faced with the task of rebuilding the 19 50 squad, with only four lettermen—pitchers Art Dalhauser and V ince Tiano. shortstop Lou Diaz and outfielder Marv Mauel—back to form the nucleus of the Duhawk diamond nine. As a result, the players gained more in the line of experience than in the victory column, win¬ ning four games while dropping ten. Highlights of the season included a no-hit mound performance by Jim Nora against Luther College, and a one-hit twirling job by Jim Hanno against Westmar. Outfielder Bob Ferring found some late season power to lead the team at the plate, ending the year with an average that hovered near the .3 50 mark. Marv and Bob Mauel. Lou Diaz. Mike Setticasi. Jim Hosch and Larry Christiansen worked in infield posts. The outer gardens were patrolled by slugging Bob Ferring. Bob Bertsch. and Tom Schlueter. with Schmitz. Koster.

For the third consecutive year the Duhawks swept past all op¬ position and were crowned Champs of the Iowa Confer¬ ence. thereby gaining possession of the league’s traveling trophy—it hadn’t left the campus for some time—and giving it a permanent home among other Loras spoils of athletic victories. Because of inclement weather the Duhawk thinclads en¬ tered only seven meets. During the spring season, the Purple and Gold colors were represented in the Iowa State Teachers Invitational. St. Ambrose-Dubuque U.-Loras Triangular. Iowa State Teachers Relays. Drake Relays. Dubuque U.-Luthcr-Loras Triangular. Iowa Conference Divisional, and the Iowa Conference finals. Coach Schramm’s men were victorious in all but the Iowa Teach¬ ers Relays and the Iowa Teachers Invitational. In the lat¬ ter. however, the thinclads picked up enough points to give them runner-up honoss. Running in the Iowa colleges’ section of the 41st an¬ nual Drake Relays, the Duhawk mile and 880-yahd relay teams came in tnisd against the best competition the state had to offes.

Arnie Koester, Jim Garvey, Norb West and Jack But¬ ler. These veterans combined their talents effectively with Lou Letko and Dick Ludwig during the spring session, winning five matches and dropping three. In addition, the netmen went on to place second in the Iowa Conference Tournament, held on the home courts on the 19th and 20th of May. Beloit braved cool weather to give Loras their first test of the season, and the Duhawks passed with fly¬ ing colors for their initial win. Luther tried their luck on the Hilltop courts but were turned back for win number two for the Reillymen. The veteran team stumbled in its quest for an undefeated season by dropping their first encounter to the St. Ambrose Bees on the Davenportmen ' s campus. Two days later Loras resumed their winning ways by trouncing highly re¬ garded Iowa State Teachers College. The second at¬ tempt to master the Ambrose racqueteers by the Du¬ hawks met the same fate as their first, and Marquette presented the Lorians with their third loss of the cam¬ paign, thus avenging the upset-victory Father Reilly’s team scored against the netmen from Milwaukee the year before. The Lorasmen ended the season in com¬ mendable fashion with their second wins over Luther and Iowa State Teachers College, and in the finale, runner-up honors were notched for the Purple and Gold in the Iowa Conference Tournament. Prospects for the 1951 season looked bright, with Dick Ludwig. Jim Garvey, and Norb West back again. This veteran trio, needing no one to show them the way to the Loras courts, were on the asphalt getting into shape almost before winter left these parts. The ' 51 squad is playing under a new coach, Msgr. Gannon, named to the position vacated by Father Reilly who departed from the Loras campus to continue his studies.

Tee¬ ing off on an eleven match schedule, the Loras fair- waymen lost only twice: 8-4 to St. Ambrose on the Davenport course, and 9-3 to the Platteville Miners on the Bunker Hill turf. On the other side of the Ldger. the Duhawks gained a twin killing over Iowa State Teachers College, and Coe. Dubuque University and St. Ambrose fell victims to the torrid pace set by the Lorasmen in single encounters. Ties were regis¬ tered in a dual match with Luther College, and with Dubuque University in a triangular meet composed of Loras. Coe and Dubuque U. on the Bunker Hill course. Paramount achievement of the Lorasmen was, of course, their title drive in the Iowa Conference Tour¬ nament. Medalist John Stoneman teamed wi th Charlie Stark. Fred Sehring. a frosh sensation, and Charlie Blake, to card an 18-hole medal play score of 307. thereby upsetting the favored St. Ambrose team, and snatching the coveted bunting. These four men were not alone in helping the Duhawk links reputa¬ tion to a place of prominence among Iowa College golf teams. Dick Power. Mark Walsh, Torn Wolf and Dick Guise were consistent performers in the matches throughout the season. Coach Becker’s prospects for the 1951 season look very bright, with John Stoneman leading an array of veteran personnel back this year. The Duhawk golf mentor expects capable performances from links ace Stoneman as well as returning lettermen Charlie Blake. Fred Sehring. and Dick Power. page eighty-one 1 N T R A iV Complete Murals Frograiii Coach A1 Schramm. Grand Wizcr of the Loras Iniramurals program, once again bent his genius of organizational ability to the direction of the ’murals activities, leaving little, if anything, to be desired by way of interclass athletics during the ’50-’5 1 school year. The popularity and success of the program was perhaps best exemplified by the manner in which the students responded to the diversified slate of events. Teams in the bowling, basketball and volley¬ ball leagues, plus the handball and pingpong entries, both doubles and singles, vied with added incentive for the championships of these events, and the right to represent Loras in the Midlands Extramural Tournament, held this year at St. Norbert’s College. The ’49-’50 schedule was concluded with Spring events that included: ten¬ nis and golf match finals, the annual running of the Loras Intraniural Track Meet, and softball games in both twelve and sixteen inch leagues. Bob Larkin and Tom Wolf teamed up to win the tennis doubles crown, and Tom added the singles title to his belt. The track and field meet—fast becoming the murals event of the year, judging from the number of men who get in on it—was woti by the Mooch- ers. Golf honors went to John Desmarteau. and the individual champion of the year, worked out on the points-per-event system, was Don I leichette. The Windy City Boys reigned supreme in the 16 in. softball circuit, while the Eagles dominated 1 2 in. play. The new term was opened as the fall schedule for 1 950 was shifted into high gear with the formation of touch football and volleyball leagues, and doubles and singles matches in pingpong. tennis and handball. The mighty Celtics gained their fourth straight touch football title, while another four- year winning combination appeared in the volleyball court where the iNight Owls achieved continued mastery of that sport. John Grathwohl and John Eriedell paired up to ' vin the tennis doubles deed, while Cal McNabb worked his way to the top in singles pl ' y Veteran Bill Gerk teamed with John Conley for the pingpong doubles but flashy Bill failed in his defense of the singles crown, losing out to his cohort. John Conley, in the finals. The basketball and bowling leagues highlighted the winter schedule. The Parasites won the On-campus basket title and the Meatballs held the top bracket in the Border league. In the two league play-off. the Windy City Boys won the College crown. Meanwhile, the Mahdeds were rolling their way to the bowling league championship. Upper left: Second place winners in the touch football league. The Tanks.

For these Dubuque Freshmen, it took place in late September. 1950. Unless our eyes deceive us, these are Dubuque student nurses. It seems the Choir staged a “Gay Nineties party for its members, and. though they ' re far from ninety, these Gals certainly look gay! Mercy ' s Activities Christmas is never complete without the crib, and this beautiful crib is one of the traditions at Mercy in Dubuque. It is always a pop ular locale for brief visits. Mercy Cedar Rapids sponsored this year the annual competition for scholarships in advanced cancer research. These smiling girls were the winners. 11 1 «b ‘ . A December 8. ihe I ' east of the Immaculate Conception, was the day on which the Duhuciue Mercy Sodality held its reception for new niemhers. l ather Kenneth Ryan officiated. Duhuque s I-reshmen nurses attended their first retreat as stu¬ dents here last fall at h. St. Agnes, on Dubuque ' s outskirts. The retreat over, they wait here for their bus. I here is much work to be done by student nurses, as shown in the charting being done by these two Cedar Rapids girls. (With supervision by a friendly nun. and , some heckling from a small patient.) This tea. sponsored by Dubuque ' s freshmen in honor of their mothers, was no difi ' erent than any other tea . . . everyone drank coffee. Such events are popular with both students and their parents. I ' hinking of the less fortunate at Christmas time, these student nurses worked on a Sodality project for the distribution of gifts to the poor of the city for Christmas joy. i o Vcoaicfvl The NFCCS Press Exhibit page one hundred forty-five i i I I ff}itj:c one hiinflierl foriy six And Dtiiues at (ilarke . . .

Iowa patje one hundred seventy-nine The Wit a II (I Wisdom of G. K. Chesterton These Two Pages . . . Again this year, these pages have been donated by an interested friend of the Col- lege and of the yearbook, who wishes to remain anonymous. He asked that this year the p ges contain selections from the writings of G. K. Chesterton, which selections we present herewith. About the Author . . . Gilbert Keith Chesterton was recognized as one of the greatest literary minds of the Twentieth Century. With his mastery of para¬ dox. slashing wit, and his facility for pompous, he produced a storehouse of solid, basic thought and criticism. ★ The Selections . . . Each of these passages is from a different work of Chesterton, representing rnany facets of his brilliant output. Msgr. Semper sought to make the pages lively and informative, and we feel t at e has more than fulfilled those aims. ★ The Staff is Indebted ... to the Rt. Rev. Msgr. I. J. Semper, head of the English Department, for o ' sJo ' siderable assistance in making up this feature. sg . Semper responded quickly to our requests, making 3 broad survey of Chesterton ' s works, interesting and varied choices for the PURCULU. one hunflKfd eighty I ' he Important Thing About a Man But there are some people, nevertheless—and I am one of them —who think that the most practical and important thing about a man is still his view of the universe. We think that for a land¬ lady considering a lodger, it is important to know his income, but still more important to know his philosophy .—Heretics A Modern Fallacy Free-will is the real objection to that torrent of modern talk about treating crime as disease,—of healing sin by slow scientific methods. The fallacy of the whole thing is that evil is a matter of actual choice, whereas disease is not. A man may lie still and be cured of a malady. But he must not lie still if he wants to be cured of sin: on the contrary, he must get up and jump about violently .—Orthodoxy Bernard Shaiu Most people either say that they agree with Bernard Shaw or that they do not understand him. I am the only person who understands him. and I do not agree with him . . . Shaw is wrong about nearly all the things one learns early in life and while one is still simple .—George Bernard Shaic The Problem of Hamlet The psycho-analysts continue to buzz in a mysterious manner round the problem of of Hamlet. They are especially interested in the things of which Hamlet was unconscious, not to mention the things of which Shakespeare was unconscious. It is in vain for old-fashioned rationalists like myself to point out that this is like dissecting the brain of Puck or revealing the real private life of Punch and Judy. The discussion no longer revolves round whether Hamlet is mad. but whether everybody is mad especially the experts investigating the madness.— Fancies Versus Fads is. indeed, in each living creature a collection of forces and func¬ tions: but education means producing these in particular shapes and training them to particular purposes, or it means nothing at all. Speaking is the most practical instance of the whole situa¬ tion. You may indeed “draw out” squeals and grunts from the child by simply poking him and pulling him about, a pleasant but cruel pastime to which many psychologists arc addicted. But you will wait and watch very patiently indeed before you draw the English language out of him. That you have got to put into him: and there is an end of the matter .—What s W rong with the W orld The Lights of Broadway When I had looked at the lights of Broadway by night. I made to my American friends an innocent remark that seemed for some reason to amuse them. I had looked, not without joy, at that long kaleidoscope of coloured lights arranged in large letters and sprawling trade-marks, advertising everything, from pork to pianos, through the agency of the two most vivid and most mys¬ tical of the gifts of God: colour and fire. I said to them, in my simplicity, “What a glorious garden of wonders this would be, to any one who was lucky enough to be unable to read. W hat I Saw in America The Fallacy of Success There has appeared in our time a particular class of books and articles which I sincerely and solemnly think may be called the silliest ever known among men. They are much more wild than the wildest romances of chivalry and much more dull than the dullest religious tract. Moreover, the romances of chivalry ere at least about chivalry; the religious tracts arc about religion. But these things arc about nothing: they arc about what is called Success. On every bookstall, in every magazine, you may find works telling people how to succeed. They arc books showing men how to succeed in everything: they arc written by men w o cannot even succeed in writing books. All Things Constdere Portraits of Prehistoric Man People talked of Pithecanthropus as of Pitt or Fox or Napoleon Popular histories published portraits of him like the portraits of Charles the First and George the Fourth. A detailed drawing was reproduced, carefully shaded, to show that the very hairs of his head were all numbered. No uninformed person looking at its carefully lined face and wistful eyes would imagine for moment that this was the portrait of a thigh-bone; or of a few teeth and a fragment of a cranium.—The Everlasting Man Fhe Meaning of Education I know that certain crazy pedants have attempted to counter this difficulty by maintaining that education is not instruction at all does not teach by authority at all. They present the process as coming, not from the outside, from the teacher, but entirely from inside the boy. Education, they say. is the Latin for leading out or drawing out the dormant faculties of each person There Gothic Cathedrals Te truth about Gothic is. first, that it is alive, and second, that : is on the march. It is the Church Militant: it is pc architecture. All its spires are spears at rest, an a its re stones asleep in a catapult .—A Miscellany of Hen My End Is My Beginning his story, therefore, can only end as any detectise story s ad. with its own particular questions answered and its oun p lary problem solved . . . But for me my end is my , • . And there starts up again before me. standing s arp an 1 shape as of old. the figure of a man who fairv- -ho carries a key: as I saw him when 1 first ° ind through the window of my father s peep s ow called tat he who is called Pontifex. the Builder of the r jgc .s c cd ISO Clavtger. the Bearer of t ' n a fat iven him to bind and loose when VAutobtography rovincc. beside a small and almost page one hundred eighty-one TRAUSCH’S Sunbeam Bread Disinterested Jnsiiraiice Audits T.
