LOOYLA COLLEGE REVIEW 1956 MONTREAL, CANADA EDITORIAL 1956 was a year of anniversaries at Loyola. Sixty years ago, Loyola College was founded. It grew from a section of the downtown Jesuit College of Ste. Marie to its present site on Sherbrooke Street West. Four hundred years ago died St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuit order which staffs this college. The coincidence of these two anniversaries is a very happy and signihcant one: the occasion was further heightened by the presence of His Eminence Paul Emile Cardinal Leger, Archibishop of Montreal, at Loyola on March 12. That Loyola has grown as it has is a sign that it fulfills a real need in Montreal. In our city there is a F rench Catholic majority and a large English Protestant minority: both of these groups have ample and numerous educational facilities on the university level. The English Catholics have but one institution of higher learning: Loyola College. Loyola College is alone in the field-ahence it has had to broaden its scope: to the Arts Course which has always formed the backbone of any Jesuit Col- lege it has subsequently added a Science Course and a Commerce Course. Thus a curriculum with a greater appeal was made possible. And we can without undue fear of error hazard the opinion that Loyola will continue to expand and differentiate, in the manner of all living organisms, until it has acquired the status and prestige of a full-fledged university. This Loyola Review has attempted to solidify, to crystallize that which is fluid, that which progresses and grows, to stop at a certain stage of the evolution of Loyola College to examine what it is and what it is doing. We.sincerely hope that we have accomplished what we intended to do. If we have done so, it is due solely to the co-operation, direct and indirect, we have received from the students of Loyola College. If not, the fault is entirely our own. VOL. 42 Dr. SCIPIO del CAMPO F aculty and students were shocked and saddened during the summer months to hear of the untimely death of Doctor Stefan Scipio del Campo. 1iThe Doctorii as he was affectionately alluded to by hundreds of students, was undoubtedly one of the Collegeis best known and most beloved personalities. Born in Poland of a very distinguished family, Doctor Scipio was educated there at the University of Warsaw. Among his many intellectual achievements he held the degrees of Master of Commerce and Doctor of Laws. For some time he prac- tised law in Vienna but during the last ten years, to escape Communism, Doctor Scipio and his wife were forced to abandon R.I.P. friends and possessions and emigrate to Canada. The Doctor was an accomplished economist and taught that and other related subjects to Commerce and Arts students. To his grieved widow, Mrs. Scipio del Campo, the students of Loyola College offer their sincerest sympathy and the assurance of their prayers. The Editors of the Review have also received notice of the death of Rev. JOHN diORSONNENS, S.J., who was a member of the staff in 1909-1910, who died on the 25th of January, 1956, and of Rev. VINCENT MORRISSON, S.J., who was a member of the staff about live years ago, who died on the 29th of February, 1956.

Why, 0 my God, has thou forsaken me? These words Our Saviour gasped upon the C 7055 To give us warning that in darkest day Despair may come to turn us from the path. The path t0 God is fraught with tail and strife, We are distracted by the pleasure beat Of our own days, the frenzied furious search For peace and comfort in this evil world. The lust for money, which denotes success, 15 taking us away from love of God And Mammon has returned in subtle guise T0 lull us into false security. So let us now decide with calm resolve T0 stage a Renaissance in Christian life And lead man back to Calvary and to God, Thus to avert a second Fall of man. P. G. CHARNOCK
