; The = opola College === кен ae Review MONTREAL, JUNE, 1915. =н EDITORIAL Nineteen years have flown by since Loyola College first opened its doors to a little band of eager students. Many are the faces that have since then gazed upon its class-room walls, first in the old building on the corner of Bleury and St. Catherine Streets, then in the present structure on Drummond Street. Many are they who have gone forth from Loyola to take their places in the various professions and the many departments of trade and commerce. Loyola Old Boys are scattered throughout Canada and the United States. A good number are at present fighting the battles of the Empire in Flanders, while others are even now on their way to the scene of combat. It is to create a closer bond of union among the Loyola Old Boys by keep- ing alive in them the spirit and memory of their College years, and to stir up among the present students a greater eagerness for literary production, as well as a certain amount of emulation, that the “LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW is intended. | Though the difficulties met with in getting out this first number of the REVIEW cast many a dark cloud over the project, our confidence never wavered for a moment that in the end our efforts would meet with some measure of success, that the Loyola College Review, if once fairly launched, would ` receive a hearty welcome from Loyola boys, past and present. We shall not only record the events which take place yearly within the College circle, but shall strive to make the REVIEW a medium of information wherein the Old Boy may find facts of interest about every other Old Boy who is making his way in the world. The first part of our task will, we feel, grow easier from year to year, as the students through practice gain experience and confidence. For the second part we need the co-operation of the Loyola Old Boys' Association and of all past students of the College, wherever they may be. Any news item, great or trifling, will always be gratefully received and will help to add interest to our pages. We have tried to make the REVIEW representative of Loyola in all its departments. In its columns will be found contributions from the Old Boys, the College Course, the Grammar Course, and even from the lower classes. We have full confidence that with the ready and willing spirit of Loyola all will continue to respond generously and do everything in their power to make the LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW” a success. THE EDITORS.

2 LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW ҚПП Ш ( | ШЕ dd THE NEW GENERAL OF ug GHEY SOCIETY ‘OF JESUS nnn On the 11th of February, the Very Reverend Wlodimir Ledochowski was elected 26th General of the Society of Jesus. The New General is exceptionally young for the position, being only forty-eight; he is the youngest, in fact, but three, of the twenty-six eminent men who have been called to the Generalate of the Society. In the previous Congregation, eight years ago, he received an appreciable number of the votes, which proves that even then the mem- bers of the Order were impressed by his virtue and ability. During these times of international conflict Father Ledochowski will assuredly find ample scope for the exercise of his brilliant qualities. It is our filial duty and our pleasure to offer the New General our sincere and respectful homage, and to wish him a long and successful term: of office. | The meeting of the Jesuits for the election of their General could not fail to attract the attention of the Press, and of the public through the Press. The serious divisions in Europe arising from the war made the meeting of unusual interest, it was taken for granted that in such a cosmopolitan body as are the Jesuits, contentions and political intrigues would certainly exist. Correspondents are not always fettered by an accurate knowledge of facts, and the public were presented with what perhaps the public expected and desired, that is, a bold diagnosis of the motives and policy of different groups in the Congregation. The fact that the New General had been Assistant of Germany afforded some journalists a sufficient reason for giving a political complexion to the event, and the result of the election was termed a triumph for Germany. The facts, however, form a very simple story. The election was un- usually speedy, and the New General received a substantial majority of the votes. There were no intrigues, there was nothing in fact to support or even suggest an exciting journalistic report. The members met quietly, consulted together harmoniously, voted conscientiously without any reference to nation- ality for the one whom they judged best fitted to discharge the duties of Head of the Order, and received the result with perfect submission. Then they re- turned each to his own country, to continue their work under the direction of the New General. The Assistancy of Germany at the time of the election included the Austrian, Belgian, Galician, Dutch, Hungarian Provinces, as well as the German Province. Why not call the result a triumph for Belgium? Father Ledochowski is by actual birth a Pole from Austrian Galicia, and was born at Loosdorf on October 7th, 1866. Ву immediate descent he belongs to Russia, whence two generations ago his family were exiled. Their adopted nation has found in them staunch and loyal sons. The uncle of the General, Cardinal Ledochowski, is famous for his championship of that nation's rights against those who aimed at destroying its language and national spirit.
