: Loras College has on its campus an institution which is found on. few other campuses in the country. The newest building at Loras houses what might well be called a “collegiate” seminary. St. Pius N Seminary ful- fills in every respect all the connotations of cach of these terms, so lot us deal with them one at a time. | The residents of North Hall are no less students of oras College than are the students who live in Keane. in Smyth, or off campus. The Nerth Hall student is encouraged to participate in all the college activities Which are not closed to him because of the second as- pect of his dual role, that of a seminarian. There are seminarians on every one of the college athletic teams, in the Loras Players. in such organizations as the Curia, the Sodality, Alpha Phi Omega and the Choir. The North Hall resident seeks the proper balance between recreation and study and learns to realize that it is as contrary tọ the letter and spirit of the rule to be in chapel saying his rosary during rec period as it is to speak during Grand Silence. It is through these activities that the North Hall resident prepares himself to be a well-educated. well-rounded, gentleman priest. The seminarian’s class schedule corresponds with that of any Liberal Arts student, directed toward the AB. degree. Tach graduation class includes clerics majoring in such subjects as English. History. Latin and Math or other sciences, while at the same time he has had the 30 hours of philosophy required of the pre-theology student. j .

It is perhaps a slightly higher and stronger bond than that which joins the residents of the ordinary college. resi- dence hall. It is a spirit which causes the students to say, one to another. You are striving to make yourself worthy to approach the altar for ordination, and I. as vour fellow seminarian. will do everything in my power to help you along this path chosen for you by God. John Paul Jones and James Duster pray and meditate in the Chapel which plays an important part in the life of those living in North Hall.

It hel; for that sanctity so well summed up by Pius X in Haerent Animo: “There should be as much difference between the priest and good layman. as there is between heaven and earth, and therefore the priest's life should be free not only of the graver defects. but even of the least.” f which he will lps the student strive .
