14 LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW student of boy nature delight in the many characters described by their daily com- panions, and thus get a better idea of our college family than any prospectus could give. The attention of our readers is called to the perfection of this year's get-up. The Federated Press has done itself proud in the choice of paper and type and in the care bestowed on the illustrations. Had there been room, the Annual Public Debate of the Loyola College High School Debating and Literary Society would have been reported in full. The subject was one of most opportune, nay of most palpitating interest: ‘‘That the League of Nations has already failed to attain the end for which it was formed, namely, the Prevention of Wars and the Settling of Vexed Questions by an International Council. The speakers on both sides—the affirmative defending a negation, and the negative affirming the contrary —brought forth the newest facts and the most plausible arguments. АП were letter-perfect. One felt that they were all remarkably up-to-date. The judges: Rev. E. J. Devine, S.J., Mr. John J. Fitz- gerald and Mr. C. F. McCaffrey, decided in favor of the negative, i.e., in favor of what was really an affirmation. On February 2nd, 1920, Rev. A. J. Primeau, S.J., pronounced his last Solemn Vows in St. Ignatius’ Parish Chapel. This impressive ceremony marks the last period of the long formation through which every Jesuit passes before he may be said to be fully prepared for the Sacred Ministry. These last Solemn Vows are pronounced only after every period of study and every probation has been successfully completed and we take great pleasure in congratulating Father Primeau on this momentous event. Father Primeau has been connected with Loyola for many years, in fact since its foundation when he was among the first pupils. Не has successfully filled the posts of Professor, Procurator and Minister, and is at present the Parish Priest of St. Ignatius Parish as well. We are sure that all our Old Boys, among whom he has such a large circle of friends, join with us in congratu- lating Father Primeau on this happy event. We all appreciate the deep interest and untiring labours of Professor Shea among our boys, as also the continued interest of Miss A. Sharp in the musical talents of the younger generation. The past year has proved no exception with regard to the many changes which annually take place on the Staff. Rev. Father G. Féré, S.J., former Rector of St. Boniface, returned again as Prefect of Studies to Loyola after an absence of six years. He replaced Rev. E. G. Bartlett, S.J., the Prefect of the past two years. The other new men on the Staff are Rev. Lewis Drummond, S.J. former Rector of St. Mary's College, and lately attached to Edmonton College, Rev. J. Lalime, S.J., Rev. D. Mulcahey, S.J., Rev. R. McDonnell, SJ. and Rev. I. Leaver, S.J. These replaced Rev. J. Keenan, S.J., Rev. J. Mar- chand, S.J., and Rev. C. Robitaille, S.J., who left to continue their studies at the Immaculate Conception College. Two members of the Congregation of Christian Instruction are teaching at the college, Rev. Brother Leonard and Rev. Brother Benedict. On account of the fact that the Review had to go to Press in May last year, we take occasion now to offer sincere congratula- tions to Rev. J. O.’Hagan, B.A., who was ordained in June last year. Father O’Hagan is one of our most loyal Old Boys, having made practically his entire Course at Loyola College. We hear great things of him from the Parish of St. Gabriel’s where he is curate, under the Very Rev. Canon Mc- Crory, the Pastor. Not least of these is his Junior Holy Name Society and the success- ful theatricals in which he has been engaged. We note with great pleasure that seven Old Boys of Loyola have been ordained to the Priesthood in the Redemptorist Order. They are the following: Rev. A. McCann, C.SS.R., Rev. J. Murphy, C.SS.R., Rev. F. McKeerney, C.SS.R., Rev. F. Hill, C.SS.R., Rev. C. O’Reilley, C.SS.R., Rev. J. Muldoon, C.SS.R., and Rev. P. Gallery, C.SS.R. The last two are from St. Ann’s Parish, Montreal, te

How were they ever to fill up all those large pages? But the writers rose so astonishingly to the occasion that, as the time approached for going to press, there were more contribu- tions than could be lodged within the prescribed space. Several had to be inex- orably though regretfully omitted. How- ever, the result is gratifying in the variety of the class contributions and of the essays, poems, and stories. The reader can skip the gravest subjects and yet find not a little that is gay and amusing. Especially can the
