LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW 13 The Bear at Lopola CHANGES IN THE FACULTY Rare, indeed, is the new school year that brings no change either in the administrative or the teaching staff of a Jesuit College. This year, chief among the appointments w as that of a new Rector. Father Alexander Gagnieur, S.J., for the past years engaged in parish work at Guelph, Ontario, returned to the post he left four years ago, while Father Thomas MacMahon, S.J., whom Father Gagnieur relieved, has entered the Mission-field. We regret that ill-health obliged Father Gagnieur to abandon active work in the middle of December to seek rest at The Sanitarium of Gabriels, New York. During his absence, Father J. Milway Filion, S.J., who returned last August from England to teach Philosophy at Loyola, has been acting Rector as well. Father M. C. Malone, S.J., former Pre- fect of Studies, also by reason of impaired health has been ordered to a milder climate, and is now convalescing at Los Angeles, California (6634 Holywood Blvd.). Father A. J. Primeau, S.J., last year’s Bursar, is completing his study of the Institute of the Society at Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Father Thomas Gorman, S.J., left Loyola last November to do parish duty at Steelton, Ontario; Mr. J. I. Bergin, S.J., went to the English Scholasticate at Guelph as Professor of Rhetoric; Mr. W. S. Mc- Manus, S.J., began his theological studies at the College of the Immaculate Conception, Montreal. The vacancies thus made in the faculty were filled by Messrs. D. P. Cough- lin, S.J., and T. J. Lally, S.J., of St. Boniface College, Man., both former teachers at Loyola, Mr. P. J. McLellan, S.J., of the Immaculate Conception and Mr. F. C. Smith, S.J., of Guelph. Mr. Francis R. Burke is now teaching at Fordham Univer- sity, New York. As we are going to press, we are happy to welcome back from the battlefront Captain the Rev. William |Hingston, S.J., who accompanied the Irish Canadian Rangers overseas and has done service both in England and in France during the past eighteen months. Father Hingston will be: attached to the College. THE COLLEGE Despite the slight decrease in the roll of students, not unexpected under the stress of actual conditions, the scholastic year began auspiciously at Loyola, and progress charac- terizes it all along the line of College activi- ties. The interest aroused in dramatics by Father Filion, S.J., and the impetus given to the art of public speaking through the encouraged efforts of both the College and the High School Debating Societies, the organizing of the College orchestra by Mr. E. G. Bartlett, S.J., of the Choir and Glee Club under Prof. P. J. Shea, and of the Signal Dril Corps, have all supplied fresh and healthy interest leaving very little to be desired for the profitable use of time left free from the regular periods of class and study. It was no easy matter to assemble the required instruments for the orchestra and to train the players, but steady effort and faithful practice have accomplished the important task of making a good beginning in a difficult enterprise. FATHER FILION'S LAST VOWS The last covenant that binds a Jesuit irrevocably to his Order are the Final Vows pronounced after every stage of study and every term of probation has been satis- factorily completed. This solemn oblation Father Filion made publicly in the College Chapel on the day of our Lady's Purification, February 2nd, 1918. We take this oppor- tunity heartily to felicitate Father Filion on the significant event. FATHER BRADLEY'S FIRST MASS On Friday morning, May 17th, 1918, the College Chapel was privileged to witness the celebration of the first mass of Father George Bradley, S.J., former Loyola Professor who,

12 | LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW if OUR FIVE-YEAR SUBSCRIBERS The Review this year introduced a Five Year Subscription Plan, by which, as a result of the kind response of practically all who were asked to become Five Year Subscribers, its circulation has been greatly increased. By this Five Year Plan, the Review hopes in a few years to have on its circulation lists everyone who is even remotely interested in College affairs. To our Five Year Subscribers, whom it was possible to communicate with in the short period between the reception of Five Year Subscription forms and the date of going to press, the Review wishes to extend its most cordial thanks for their kind generosity, their encourage- ment, and their apparently indirect but very real support of Education.

14 LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW the day previous had been ordained priest by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Forbes. A large number of relatives, friends and old pupils of Father Bradley were present at the Mass and received individually the rich blessing which newly anointed hands alone have the power to give. The high esteem in which Father Bradley's old scholars held their Professor was attested by the number that were present to do him honor both at the ordination and the first Mass. To Father Bradley we extend our warmest congratula- tions and sincerest wishes that from his future labors in the ministry he may reap harvests a hundredfold. Of other quondam Professors and Pre- fects at Loyola, the Rev. J. I. d'Orsonnens, S.J., is Master of Novices at Sault-au- Recollet; Fr. Nicholas Quirk, S.J., is doing parish ministry at Guelph; and Fr. Jos. Leahy, S.J., is assistant to the Rector of the English Novitiate at Guelph. Fathers Louis Cotter, S.J., and Joseph McCarthy, S.J., are Chaplains at the General and the Royal Victoria Hospitals of Montreal respectively. Welcome news comes from Mr. Walter S. Gaynor, who is affectionately remembered by all for his devotedness as a teacher at Loyola, that he is finishing the second year of Theology at Valladolid in Spain, and has been raised to the Diaconate. Mr. Martin Murphy, another former master is now Principal of the Public School ‘of Boissevain, Manitoba. Dr. William H. Atherton, Ph.D., one-time member of the Loyola Faculty, has recently been honored by two Catholic Universities. In recognition of valuable contributions to American and Canadian history, especially for his three scholarly volumes on the “ History of Montreal, the University of Laval has conferred upon Dr. Atherton the degree of Doctor of Literature, and Fordham University that of Doctor of Laws. EARLY DEPARTURE OF THE PHILOSOPHERS The recent Order-in-Council summoning those between the ages of nineteen and twenty-three to the colors, was promptly obeyed by Loyola students to whom it applied. It fell heaviest on the department of Philosophy. The course was hastened to a close, examinations were advanced and by Saturday, April 27th, all reported for service, although several were not yet nineteen. Before leaving the College a farewell ban- quet was tendered them by the Faculty. There were no tears shed; yet the close and cordial companionship of eight or more years could not be severed without some secret pangs of regret, the keener as the hope for the safe return of all from the battlefront is clouded with some degree of uncertainty. They go forth with the blessing of their Alma Mater and the fervent prayer of all that the God of battles will shield them and bring them back victorious. This year’s candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Arts are Rudolph Bernard, Gaston DeLisle, John A. Dixon, Joseph J. Ryan, Terence G. Walsh, Frederick V. Hudon, and W. Roy Dillon. E aa The Review gratefully acknowledges the generour kindness of Messrs. O’Brien and Doheny; A. W. Anglin, Esq., K.C., Toronto; R. E. Elliot, Esq; E. Desbarats, Esq; Messrs. Brodeur, Limited and Messrs. Roland Freres. Alumni Motes Owing to the general unrest and distrac- tion of the times and the departure of so many Loyola men for the battlefield, news from a large number of the old boys has not been easy to obtain. At the same time, that is the first thing all Alumni will look for on opening the “ Review, and sorely miss if none be given. We, therefore, beg and hope that every alumnus who reads this column will make it a point to send us, at an early opportunity, all the details he can about himself and any other old college associate he may be in touch with. He will thus do his part to satisfy the natural and laudable
