4 LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW Of this first band, no fewer than three, Fathers O'Bryan, Sigouin and Hazelton, have already gone to their reward, while of the others, only Father Kavanagh is now at the College. No striking incident occurred during the first year. On January 12th, 1898, at six o'clock in the morning, fire was discovered under the floor of a class-room on the second storey. The boys were still asleep, but were roused in hot haste and ordered down to the study-hall. After a good deal of hard work and much damage to the house-furniture, the firemen succeeded in master- ing the blaze;! but it was this fire, more than anything else, that drove Loyola students to Drummond Street. Up to this time No. 68 Drummond Street had been occupied by the well- known Tucker School. Тһе principal of this institution accepted Father O'Bryan's generous terms, and within a few days classes were transferred to their new quarters. The class of Special Latin, which, later on, was to be Loyola's first Graduation Class, was likewise the first to enter the new build- ing. In such taxing conditions, the admirable spirit of the boys helped considerably to the maintenance of discipline, and it is remarkable how brilliant were many of the mid-year examinations and how few of the boys failed in the tests. The all-pervading influence of the Rector contributed materially. to these cheering results. But the new quarters on Drummond Street, though larger and more suit- able than the old ones on the South-East corner of Bleury and St. Catherine Streets, were soon felt to be unequal to the demands for further space. Plans were soon drawn up for the present brick building which runs at right angles to the portion that formed the original Tucker School. At the Commencement Exercises in 1898, Father O'Bryan announced a not unwelcome piece of news, that on account of the new building, which was not to be ready till the end of September, classes would not be resumed till the month of October. Within two hours after this announcement labourers were at work digging the foundations, and within four months, the pupils had returned and were comfortably housed in the new structure. | In 1899, the College was formally incorporated by Act of the Provincial Parliament, and in the same year the scope of the Papal Constitution “Tamdudum” was so extended as to include Loyola. Ву this privilege, the degrees of Laval University are conferred on those who successfully pass the College examinations. Тће first degrees were conferred at the Commence- ment Exercises in June, 1903. Since that time Loyola has produced no fewer than forty-eight Bachelors of Arts, eight Bachelors of Science, and seven Bachelors of Letters. Father O'Bryan remained in office unti l July, 1899, when he was succeeded by Father William Doherty. The latter's health, however, broke down after only a few months, and Father O'Bryan was again placed at the head of affairs for two years more. He was succeeded by Father A. E. Jones, who in 1904 made way for Father A. D. Turgeon, formerly Rectcr of St. Mary's College. One year afterwards, he in turn handed over the direction of affairs to Father O'Bryan, who thus for the third time became Rector. He continued in office until his lamented death in June, 1907. $
