4 0 VORA. COLLECE REVIEW bined on a single shield, as in the Belvedere College badge (Fig. 3). Un- fortunately the division of the arms “ per bend ” seems to be at variance with the usual practice of heraldry. Two family coats are normally separated on the shield by a vertical line, i.e., they are “ parted per pale. This rule was followed in designing the badges worn last season by one of the senior teams in the Intramural Hockey League (Fig. 4). ‘The badge evoked very favourable comment, and we hope soon to see it generally used throughout the College. In devising a Classpin for the “ Pioneers of the New College—the combined classes of '16 and '17—the single shield divided per pale was chosen, but in the original colours, to distinguish it from the College Arms. This emblem (Fig. 5), a simple but attractive pin in silver or gold, bears on a scroll the Class motto: “ DEO, PATRIAE, AMICIS. EUGENE CHABOT, 716. VERUM C ORDIS GAUDIUM A restless child that ever seeks new charms, From one toy to another racing on Through all the day, till Nature’s blinds are drawn And darkness comes with all its hidden harms; At last he creeps into his mother’s arms, Bidding his playthings old and new begone, And finds what he has sought since early dawn— A safe repose that knoweth no alarms. Such was, Lord Jesus, my poor foolish heart Amid earth’s empty joys. What hopes, what fears, What hours of grief and loneliness were mine, Before I nestled to Thy Heart Divine,— A weary child,—and Thou didst dry my tears, And knowledge of Thy love to me impart!

LOVOLA COLLEGE AVE VIEW | 3 the family of St. Ignatius was known as the house of Onaz and Loyola. If we go back to the year 1261, we find that Don Lope de Onaz espoused the heiress of the Loyola family, Dona Ines de Loyola. Now it is usual in com- bining shields to give the paternal arms the position of honour, that is, the right of the wearer, and it seems clear that the Oñaz arms, with their seven bars, should occupy this position. The words of Don Garcia which end the extract quoted above can hardly bear any other meaning. But as the lords of | lili м. JI s HIS Sh nae M “5- ү т) i р S ) w S: Ailing |? м, Fig. 2 the united house of Onaz and Loyola always occupied the castle of Loyola, that name eventually prevailed and the shields are generally found transposed as on the cover of this REVIEW. Our own representation of the arms has not been altogether uniform. On the back of the College Catalogue, what appears to be the strictly accurate position of the two shields has been adopted (Fig. 1), and the same example is followed in the College pin (Fig. 2). In the latter, however, the College colours—maroon olive-green and white—are substituted for the original tinctures of the Loyola family. The cover design of the REVIEW reverts to the more common arrange- ment, as found in many Jesuit College emblems. For the whole figure we Fig. 4 are indebted to a cut which appeared some years ago in the “ Belvederian,”’ an annual published by Belvedere College, S.J., Dublin. The drawing is artistically pleasing, but we may gently protest that the maned anima ls favour lions more than wolves—heraldic or otherwise. A large replica of this device appears over the entrance to the Junior Building of the New College. On the Refectory Building, facing the Campus, both coats are com-

TOVOLA COLLEGE SR EV raw 5 A FORMER RECTOR ОЕ LOYOLA COLLEGE A brief consideration of the career of that distinguished son of Saint Ignatius, Father William Doherty, who passed away suddenly on March 3rd, 1907, in Montreal, must surely be of interest to our readers throughout Canada, by whom he was well known, and among whom he so zealously laboured during so many years. The personality of this priest was so unobtrusive, his humility so profound, that it is quite possible that there were many who did not realize how brilliant and versatile were his gifts. Born April 9th, 1844, of wealthy parentage, in St. John, N.B., he entered Fordham College, near New York, at the age of thirteen, and during his course of studies he revealed talents of the highest order. It was during his college career that his professor, Father Jouin, the author of various philosoph- ical works, declared that his brilliant pupil could, if necessary, teach philo- sophy himself. This he was later in life called upon to do; for one of the many eminent positions which he held in the Society of Jesus was that of Professor of Philosophy in Georgetown University. The young student's valedictory, when he received his degree at Fordham, was held by competent critics to be a masterly effort. А few. months after his graduation, William Doherty entered the Jesuit novitiate, and continued his studies in various houses of the Order, notably at Woodstock, Md., where he was privileged to have for his masters such eminent men as Father Mazzella, afterwards Cardinal, Father de Augustinis, afterwards a professor in the Roman College, and the well-known moralist, Father Sabetti. With such teachers and such a pupil, the result was not surprising; the young Jesuit, after many years of continuous application, became proficient in the various branches of human learning. He was ordained priest by the late Primate of the American Church, Archbishop Bailey, and he laboured successively in England, the United States and Canada, everywhere leaving the same luminous trail of vast and profound erudition, and of exalted spirituality. In 1884 he became Superior and parish priest of Guelph, Ontario. It was there that he displayed new and surprising gifts in the designing and construction of one of the finest churches in Western Canada. His knowledge of architecture and his remarkable aptitude for business details displayed in the beginning and the progress of the work, enabled him to raise a noble monu- ment worthy of Our Lady, to whom the church is dedicated. During the many years of Father Doherty’s ministry in Guelph and elsewhere he made numberless friends, and endeared himself not only to his own, but also to non-Catholics, who were deeply impressed by his learning and his holiness. - He was temporarily transferred to the United States in 1897, and for two years gave the post-graduate course in Philosophy in Georgetown Uni-
