LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW | 15 desire which all Loyola men, professors included, have to know where old com- rades and pupils are scattered in this wide world and what they are doing. 1906 1907 After completing the usual period of teaching previous to the priesthood, Raymond Cloran, S.J., has begun his theological studies at the Immaculate Conception. It was with no little gratification that we saw John T. Hackett (B.L. 106, B.C.L.), elected to the presidency of the distinguished St. Patrick's Society for the present year. In this capacity Hackett was one of the principal orators at the Victoria Monument on Empire Day. The congratulations of all Loyola men go out to the Hon. Charles Gavan Power, M. P., whom the last general elections returned to the Federal Parliament as Liberal Member for South Quebec. Inasmuch as Power is the first graduate from Loyola to attain the proud distinction, we have special cause for congratulations. That splendid success will attend “ Chubby's ” political career we have every reason to believe. ‘‘ Chubby has it in him— “ The applause of listening senates to com- mand, А The threats of pain and ruin to despise.” The ‘ Toronto Globe has this to say of him: “ The youngest member from Quebec, and incidentally the youngest on the Opposition side, is Charles Gavan Power of Quebec South. He is well known in sporting circles as “ Chubby Power, a great Quebec hockey player. But he is more than that. He quit hockey when the war started and has gone '' over the top ” in France so many times that he has 22 wounds and the Military Cross. “ He is а true soldier ” said a fellow- citizen who knows him well. For his bravery on the battlefield he was decorated by the King at Buckingham Palace. He is the only returned soldier in the House who enlisted as a private, and he tells with great gusto how he used to black, or rather tan; the boots of Surgeon-General Guy Carleton Jones. “ Chubby Power succeeds his father, Wm. Power, as member of Parliament. He is a lawyer and served for a while in the same 1909 1911 1912 1914 1915 1917 office as Lucien Cannon of Dorchester by- election fame. Power has two brothers in the army and two brothers-in-law.” Captain Power, because of his brave record and long experience at the front, was recently invited by the American Knights of Columbus to tour the United States in order to speak at meetings in support of the great K.C. campaign to obtain funds for Army Huts at the front. Power immediately accepted the invitation. We are more than pleased to learn that John C. Wickham, M.D., who has been at the front from the be- ginning of the war, has within recent months been honored with the rank of Major. He expects to return to Canada on a three months leave be- fore the year is out. On November 20th, 1917, wedding bells rang for Leon Mercier Gouin, the son of Sir Lomer, when he led to the altar Miss Yvette Ollivier of Quebec. The marriage was blessed in the Church of St. Jean Baptiste by Rev. Father Gouin, the bridegroom's uncle. May Mercier's wedded life be long and happy. Bernard McCullough, S.J., who is member of the New York Province of the Society of Jesus, is studying philosophy at Woodstock College in ‘Maryland. | After having left McGill, Bernard McTeigue has been connected with the Whalen Pulp Paper Co., at Vancouver, B.C. If latest rumors are true, ‘‘ Barney has joined the colors. On Whit Saturday Joseph O’Hagan, . who is completing his studies pre- paratory for the priesthood at the Grand S eminary, was | ordained deacon by Archbishop Bruchesi. The legal profession beckoned smil- ingly to most of last year’s graduates, of whom Frank McGillis, Richard

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
