8 LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW ARTHUR SMITH Arthur Smith began his studies at Loyola, when but a child of ten years. He entered the class. of Second Preparatory in 1909, and had completed his High School Course when death called him away. During the many years Arthur spent at Loyola, he endeared himself to all by his fervent piety and his gentlemanly conduct. His deep faith made him realise the advantages— nay, the almost absolute necessity of frequent Communion. Hence it was but seldom that Arthur did not prepare himself for the day's trials by receiving his Lord in the Holy Eucharist. Ever an ardent student, his more than ordinary talent was blessed with marked success, yet he always found time to take part in, and to become proficient in every branch of athletics. Always popular with his fellow-students, he was generally chosen Captain of the various teams. On the morning of July 27th, 1916, he met with a sad accident which caused his death. He had gone out for a day's fishing on the St. Lawrence, a few. miles east of Cornwall, and while his companions were bathing, Arthur went out a short distance in a canoe, to set a minnow-trap. A lady, from the river-bank, saw him standing in his canoe. She turned away for a moment, and when she looked back, he was not to be seen. The alarm was given, and the boys began to search for him. This was about 11 a.m. Every effort was made to recover the body, but it was not found until nearly 4 p.m. The canoe was not upset, and when Arthur was found, there was no water in his lungs, so it is thought that he was not drowned, but, rather, that he succumbed to an attack of acute indigestion, or something of that nature. Though the end came suddenly, it could not find him unprepared, for his whole life had been a preparation for the final summons. Arthur never neglected to receive Holy Communion on the First Friday, even during his holidays. He had a tender devotion to Our Blessed Mother, and was faithful in this to the end, for in his pocket was found a rosary, a pledge of his love for her who had watched over him during life. і Тће greatest sympathy for Arthur's parents, in their sore bereavement, filled the hearts of all at Loyola, masters and boys, who had learned to love and appreciate his manly and noble character. Reverend Father Rector preached at his funeral in Cornwall, and on September 28th, a Requiem Mass was celebrated in the College Chapel for the repose of his soul. R. I. P.
