College Review 1955 MONTREAL, CANADA VOL. 41 She Editors Sage Human events contrive to shape history. No matter how unknown, how insignificant, no matter how personal, the happenings of man cannot be ignored. They are the record of his past and in their own way explain to him the present; that the human race may truly fulfill itself they teach him knowledge and love. With the publication of every yearbook the axe of time resounds the finality of passing years. Those higher grades seemed distant in Freshman, yet so short is our enjoyment of them. The many students are marked by their education at Loyola and with every decision we may make there will be reflected this Catholic instruction, if not actively at least in our conscience. However directly inessential the Loyola College Review may be to education, we feel that it has been significant in recording the extracurricular life of youths and men during this year. It has set down the activities of many; it has formed those of others; but in all cases it will be the last recall to memory. In arranging and presenting this account an attempt was made to preserve the creative originality of the students while expressing suitable and novel ideas of journalism. If the effort of coupling these has succeeded, the task of the editors of the Review has been met. If in any way, without proper excuse, it has not, then a request for pardon is in order. Like the passing time, the Review alters in scope and emphasis; like the quieter and more natural events, but for the occasional burst of enthusiasm it will lie forgotten; like the fading picture it will be a remembrance of the days when life was light and free. One day one thing is important; the next day it has been replaced. So are the ways of men. Each Review is in some respect a tribute to the graduates. On its pages, especially the graduates’ section, the culmination of College endeavor is presented in both the degree to which academic work has led, and the extracurricular activities through which much of personal individuality has been formed. To the undergrads as well does the Review not hesitate to give honor, for it is these youths, in costume dress or helmeted, and with busy minds and hearts who represent the future leaders in scholastic achievement and in extracurricular activities. It is sincerely the wish of the Review Staff that all are pleased with our journalistic effort. It may certainly be added that the effort did not rest with the editors alone but also in the contributors and in the student body. The Loyola College Review is a very broad activity for its essence is the spirit of the students. It is unrestricted because the Review Staff has considered any activity worthy of participation at Loyola likewise worthy of publication. And so the plans, art and ideas of the Review Staff unfold. You, Fellow Student, are the judge and jury. The listed activities witness what we have accomplished, each with its own individualism or group expression, each an application of knowledge and a gain of experience. —Tue Eprror

He was a member of had returned, as Rector, to Regiopolis Col- the faculty of the University of St. Mary's, lege, Kingston, where previously for many Halifax, at the time of his death. years he had taught Classics. Father Lord, S.J. (Daniel) As everybody knows, Father Lord died at St. Louis cheerfully, of cancer. He was America's best known and best loved priest. His annual lectures, and his Sum- mer School of Catholic Action at Loyola afforded many of us the privilege of mak- ing of him a personal friend. He was par- ticularly interested in Canada as a great nation capable of doing great things for God. On this theme he composed and produced in Canada two great pageants, one at Midland, Martyrs’ Shrine, and the other last year, at Toronto. As artistic achievements, they far surpass anything that has been accomplished at Stratfor d, Ontario. Before going to press, we received word of the deaths of Father William McWalter, S.J., at St. Paul's College, Winnipeg, and of Arthur Wilson, Senior Commerce, at Montreal.
