We gradually became acquainted with a new Rector, a new Prefect, new Professors in Physics d Chemis- try, new masters in Freshman, Fourth High, two of the Third Highs, two of the Seconds, and both the Firsts. It speaks well for the traditions of the School, that things did decidedly better than run a harmonious but mediocre course. Even critics with a morbid dislike of superlatives would confess that the presentation of 'It Pays to Advertise' and the Third-High Class Specimen were achievements un- paralleled in many years of Loyola's history. The football team and the inter- university debaters did not reach the summit of fame; but that, in our close know- ledge of their endeavour and ability, we refuse to consider as the final estimate of their merit. In all things, and not least in this our Review, great credit is due to the members of Senior Year. When the world-wide watchword was depression, their dogged efforts and contagious enthusiasm saw many an undertaking through. Off hats, and cheer! Theirs is the pre-eminent social virtue of our microcosm: College spirit. May success meet them in their new lives! y АЕ « Reverend Father E. G. Bartlett, S.J., our former Rector, ended his term last August and went to St. Ignatius Parish, Winnipeg, where ће is working as assistant priest. During the winter, we heard with alarm that he was suffering from an attack of angina pectoris. Happily he has since so far recovered as to be able to resume his duties. Father Bartlett has left behind him not only memories of a scholar but, as well, a monument to his administration. He had the Tower erected and the two topmost storeys added to the Front Building. He has been succeeded by Reverend Father T. J. MacMahon, S.J., who is known throughout Canada as a preacher and has been connected with three previous gen- erations at Loyola. He attended the English course at St. Mary's as a student, taught for a number of years at Drummond Street, and later, when Rector, moved the College to its present site in Notre Dame de Grace. Despite a recent recovery from a dangerous ыш painful illness, Father MacMahon has performed the duties of his office with vigour, besides regularly finding time to be an interested spectator at ames on the campus and in the stadium.

LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW ee CT It was with grief that we received the afflicting report of Fr. Cloran’s sudden death, and it is with grief that we recall him once more to our minds. Our sorrow is, however, mitigated by the admiration felt for his courage Father Cloran in losi . ; , » in losing his own life to save another's. 'Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”’ That noble spirit of sacrifice and charity was manifest not only in Father Cloran's last and bravest deed, but throughout his entire and brief life. Among the poor and the sick this beloved priest was honoured and revered for the earnestness of his devotion and the generous consolation he afforded to so many. In his office of Prefect of Discipline at Loyola, the same eagerness and sincerity were displayed by his lively interest in all the activities of the students; and to every worthy cause, charitable, social and scholastic, he lent his best efforts to make it a success. His reputation extends far beyond the walls of Loyola for he was prominently active in various circles and societies in Montreal. Words are useless in expressing the admiration and love in which Father Cloran was held and in praising his short life. Only that last heroic deed was sufficiently eloquent to eulogize his courageous character, and only the solemnity of his funeral could show forth our esteem and sorrow. He is gone from our midst, but his memory shall remain among us always. Another great character has passed from our midst in the person of the Very Reverend Canon Callaghan, pastor of St. Michael's parish, and МАДЕИРЕ the last of the three Callaghan brothers,who were all priests. Father Luke’’, as he was called by everybody, was widely known in Montreal for his untiring work in religious and educational movements. A parish priest for twenty-one years, he devoted himself continually to his flock, aiding them spiritu- ally and temporally. It has been said that this persistent devotion of his was not a small factor in hastening his death. A citizen of Montreal, he was indefatigable in carrying to a successful end every undertaking that concerned the English-speaking Catholics of his city. His work as chaplain, both at the Hótel-Dieu and the Royal Victoria Hospitals, was characteristic of his noble nature, sincere and whole- hearted. His loyal co-operation and untiring zeal were rewarded by a distinguished honour—he was made an Honorary Canon of the Metropolitan Basilica; yet to his admiring people he was always Father Luke’’, for the reputation of his humility was widespread. Frequently seen among the children, whom he loved most particu- larly and in whose educational interests he did so much, the beloved pastor would mingle with them, and seemed most pleased when in their midst. Perhaps no other words than those chosen as the text of the oration at his funeral can better express the brilliant career of so genuine a character: ‘І have fought the good fight; I have kept the faith. {2}
