Ee Re Loyola College Review d o rs Address all communications to: LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW, SHERBROOKE STREET WEST, MONTREAL Price: Two DOLLARS THE Copy, paper bound. All subscriptions will be gratefully received. 1949 MONTREAL, CANADA No. 35 EDITORIALS “Ме New Rector Тооуоа, іп the past year has set а precedent while still following a time honored tradition. The precedent is the appointment of a graduate of Loyola to the highest position of this college. Never before have we had the benefit of the experience, judgment and advice of a Rector who is a former student. Fr. McCaffrey however, graduated from Loyola with a B.A. in 1927, and the following year entered the Society of Jesus. Part of his studying, prior to his ordination, was completed at the University of Toronto in the field of advanced mathematics. Following this he was ordained in 1940 and then taught at the Jesuit Seminary in Toronto until his recent nomination. His appointment coincided with the largest student registration in the history of the College. It is fitting that we should have a precedent-setting Rector at the head of a precedent-setting student body. The time-honored tradition adhered to is the appointment of a Rector possessing a clear and comprehensive intellect, paternal judgment, strong principles, a personal interest in all students and their activities, a generosity and willingness to give sound advice and con- structive criticism, and commanding the admiration and respect of all students. Fr. McCaffrey has displayed in the past year all these qualities and talents to a high degree. They are no passing show. They are deeply rooted in his nature and form his inspiring personality. We will benefit from them during his entire stay here just as we have during his first term of office. For the first time then, we have a Rector capable of combining past experience at this College with the many qualities of former Rectors, and because of this unique advantage the Review wishes to express in a special way, on behalf of all Loyola students, their appreciation and recognition of Fr. McCaffrey’s initial successful year, and assure him of the spirit of good will and co-operation that he may expect from all students in the future.
