16 LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW and their pictures are in the Review. Father Gallery began his education at St. Ann's School and afterwards attended Loyola. Не is at present completing his studies at Esopus, N.Y. His first Mass was celebrated at St. Ann's Church, August 10, 1919, to which he very kindly sent us an invitation. Father J. Muldoon, C.SS.R. began his education at Cóte-de-Neiges College, which he attended for 3 years; he was also a student at the Montreal College for two years, subsequently attending Loyola for five years. Father Muldoon is also com- pleting his studies at Esopus, N.Y. To all of the above we offer hearty congratulations, as well as to their parents, who can hardly be more proud of them than is their Alma Mater. It gives us great pleasure to offer hearty congratulations to two former Masters of Loyola, Rev. F. Downes, S.J., and to Rev. F. D. McDonald, S.J., on the occasion of their elevation to the Priesthood. Father Downes began his education at Mount St. Louis and afterwards came to Loyola, which he attended from 1897 to 1904 the year of his graduation. In 1904 Father Downes entered the Jesuit Order, and after his novitiate was sent to England for special studies in Mathematics. On his return to Canada after six years, he taught for some years both at St. Boniface College, Manitoba, and at Loyola College. Father Downes is known to a very large circle of Old Boys, who, we are sure, join with us in offering him our sincerest congratulations. Father F. O. McDonald, S.J., w as born at St. Andrews, Prince Edward Island. He made his studies at St. Dunstan’s College of which he is a graduate. Father McDonald was a very successful teacher for some years before he entered the Society of Jesus and was a Professor in St. Dunstan’s College. Father McDonald’s skill was not only dis- played in the class-room; we have also heard reports of his ability as a half-back on the foot-ball team, of which he was captain. He was for three years a Master at Loyola and his former pupils will learn with pleasure of his elevation to the Priesthood. We trust to have both Father Downes and Father McDonald back with us in a year or two. Although all the reports of the McGill examinations are not as yet published, we notice that Loyola Boys have had their share of triumphs. To Maurice Versailles, a B.A. of '17, we offer hearty congratulations for the series of prizes which he has carried off. To few is granted either the ability or the energy necessary to achieve such remark- able success and not only Loyola College but the whole Catholic community at large should be proud to have our Catholic young men make such a showing at McGill University. Mr. Versailles is winner of th e Elizabeth Torrance Gold Medal, the Junior Bar Prize for Civil Procedure, the Bar of Montreal Prize for Commercial Law and a prize of Fifty Dollars from the Faculty of Law at McGill University. MAURICE VERSAILLES In looking over last year’s Review we notice that Mr. Versailles’ honours have not been suddenly thrust upon him. The following remarks about him were inserted last year: ‘‘Maurice Versailles is one of our most successful students ever at McGill; he has recently won the Morris Scholarship and has been elected by acclamation Presi- dent of the Society of Law. Interesting, as well as amusing, is a character sketch of him contained among the Class Chronicles of our Review of 1915, when Maurice was in Rhetoric: ‘‘Again imagine the suavity and gentility of a Parisian, the proportions of a Grecian athlete, a prehistoric smile, a Pla- tonic intelligence, a tennis ability admitting no superiors, the aloofness of an Old World aristocrat, all united in one person, and there stands out before you our excellent friend, Maurice Versailles.”’ ba

LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW 17 Rev. JOS. O'HAGAN, '15 At the time of going to Press, the results of all the examinations at McGill University were not yet published. As far as results show, Old Loyola Boys at McGill have done remarkably well and no one so far has failed. To the following former Loyola pupils at McGill, all of whom obtained second class honours in the Law examina- tions we offer hearty congratulations: John Kearney, B.A., Francis McGillis, B.A., John Gallery, B.L., John Coughlin, B.A., E. Duckett, B.A., W. R. Dillon, B.A., Chas. Phelan, B.A., John Wolf, B.A. Loyola is indeed proud of her Old Boys at McGill. Every one appreciates the good work accomplished by the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin during the past year; in fact it has been a banner year for the Sodality. Decem- ber 8th, 1919, was a memorable day in the College and was marked by the Solemn Mass and general Communion in the morn- ing, the Solemn consecration of the new members enrolled in the evening, followed by Solemn Benediction and a sermon by Rev. L. Cotter, S.J., and the banquet and theatricals in the evening. The month of May too has been fittingly celebrated by the Sodalists, who erected a special shrine in the main corridor, before which candles were kept burning, fresh flowers were placed daily, and a box placed to contain slips of paper on which were written acts of sacrifice by the boys. These are only a few of the evidences which go to prove that the Sodality has been a great factor for good in the College, thanks to the energies of its Direc- tors, Rev. Father Hingston, S.J., and Rev. Father de la Peza, S.J. Too much praise cannot be given to Fernand Terroux, Advertising Manager, and to his devoted Advertising Assistants, Messrs. H. Smeaton, L. Beaudin, J. Hébert, L. Kelly and W. P. Brennan, as also to Henry Phelan and E. McCaffrey, the Circulation Managers. The College is indebted to all of the above-mentioned for their untiring efforts to make the Review a financial success. Many a holiday afternoon was sacrificed by these devoted workers, who gave a substantial proof of their deep loyalty and admirable college spirit. Al- though not on the regular Advertising Staff, special mention must be made of H. Dom- ville, who, though not at present attending the college, worked very hard and brought in splendid results. To him also the College extends special thanks. The College authorities are deeply grate- ful to the Association of Old Loyola Boys for a generous donation made to the Boys' Library. It is gratifying the see the interest taken by the Old Boys in the intellectual progress of the present students.
