LOYOLA COLLEGE S REVIEW T 4— The equipment of the auditorium was also materially advanced with the gener- ous donation of the chairs for the loges, by Mr. E. A. Collins, of Copper Cliff, Ont. To these and to all our kindly benefactors we offer our very heartfelt thanks. Y Y, га The Review takes this opportunity of congratulating the Rev. Francis Boyle, 5.]., Jesuit House of Studies, Milltown Park, Dublin, Ireland, and the Revs. John У. Cass, 5.]., Gerald Е. Lahey, 5.]., and Alex. Rolland, 5.]., of the Immaculate Con- ception College, Montreal, on their approaching ordination to the priesthood. The future priests were all formerly connected with Loyola College, either as students or members of the staff. y 7 Among the many welcome visitors throughout the year, the College welcomed Their Excellencies, the late Archbishop McNeil, of Toronto, Archbishop Duke, of Vancouver, Bishop LeBlanc, of Saint John, N.B., Bishop Crimont, S.J., Vicar- Apostolic of Alaska, and Bishop Melanson, of Gravelbourg, Sask., also the Rev.

Quirk, S.J., also of Regiopolis, Rev. John F. Cox, S.J., Rev. Geo. Е. Bradley, S.J. г А 7 i A slight change has been made in the arrangement of the Obituary department in the Review this year. As the Alumni now have their own official organ, the Loyola Alumnus, the biographical sketches of deceased alumni will be found therein, while the Review will confine itself to obituary notices for actual students who have been called by death. This year, the following names have been added to the list of deceased students and alumni: Leo. McKenna, John Burns, Maurice J. Browne, М. J. Timmins, Desmond Mulvena, B.A. 726, Coleman MacDonald, Е. Grimes Murphy, В.А. '14, Edmond Brannen, В.А. '24, Fernand Gauthier, В.А. 732. To the relatives of all the above, the Review desires to offer sincere sympathy. TTF

LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW —- ыр, rise in prices. А great many authorities dislike inflation, but they cannot eny that it was used by France, where it has served very well indeed, so much so that the four per cent franc is at a premium. So criticism is not, or should not, be directed so much against this aspect of the programme. In fact it is not at all so easy to object to particular items in the plan as to object to the whole plan. The trouble with it is precisely its gigantic proportions, the immense unwieldiness of the thing and its enormous cost. In the West where millions of bushels of wheat had been accumulated by the Hoover Farm Board in the hope of raising prices, millions of dollars have been paid out as compensation to the grower. Money has been so freely spent in this and other ways that while the cost of living has been raised, the public coffers are empty. This means eventually more taxation with less capacity to pay because the benefits of the rise in prices cannot be great enough ог come soon enough to make up the difference. We say, cannot come soon enough, and that is precisely the point. The ad- vantages of this kind of programme are not likely to be felt for a long time, while the disadvantages come at once. There is not parallel progress on all Don. as evi- dently there cannot be when men are resolved to jumble into two or three years what in prudence they should spread over ten or fifteen. Lately small trade in the United States has been revolting because, while their goods are selling at two or three times the former prices, wages have not been increased by a corresponding amount (in fact, reduction in the hours of labour has practically nullified even this increase), and the public are refusing to buy. Such a state of affairs Big Trade may be able to stand, small trade most certainly can not. Finally, even if it is a good thing to regu- late hours of labour (it undoubtedly is, from a humane point of view, Шинэ and even if it is а good thing to control production, the question is, how far can a government go in this direction without interfering with private initiative? Of course it is quite easy to criticize, and what the final results will be only time will tell, but it seems to us that the great passion of Americans for doing thin magnificently and with dispatch has not always stood them in such very good stead. c Ж Apart from the College and High School plays staged in the new auditorium, the successful presentation of ‘‘Swre Fire by the Alumni Players deserves special mention. The comment from every quarter were most gratifying, and the Players are to be congratulated collectively and individually for their skilful interpretation. CET The beauty of the College chapel was further enhanced by several commemor- ative gifts, and it is our pleasant duty to express our sincere gratitude to Mrs. ]. K. Foran, who donated the rose window of the south transept, a symbolical treatment of the different titles of our Blessed Lady. This window was installed in memory of the late Dr. J. K. Foran, K.C., Litt.D., LL.B. The large west window, depicting the Jesuit Martyrs of North America, is the gift of the Irish-Canadian Rangers, in memory of their fallen comrades. It was solemnly dedicated by Reverend Father Rector on Агпизисе Day, on the occasion of the laying-up of the colours of the regiment in the College chapel. These windows are the work of Mr. C. W. Kelsey, of Montreal. A precious addition to the collection of sacred vessels is the gift of the Timmins family, in memory of the late M. J. Timmins,—a handsomely- wrought silver monstrance of original design, whose lines are in strict keeping with the other adornments of our chapel. LIF
