W’hcnevc ' r the name of Sullivan is mentioned around Loyola the first im])ression a Senior memher receives is that of a most versatile student and a very eapahlc ex- l)onent of the (ireek verb. The elass is unanimous in electing liiin to the chair of excellence for proficiency in this language, dcs- pite his open and vigorous pro- tests. For Bill is a most modest student who detests the limelight and seeks the lowly haunt of the recluse. In athletics Bill has also attained prominence. Tall and handsome as he is characterized hy the ladies of North Baltimore, he is ])articular- ly p roficient in the vigorous game of football. Notwithstanding the many accidents suffered in this gridiron s])ort. Bill still elaims for it first |)lace among athletics. For the last five years he held the shot- put record and it is very doulit- ful whether there will even he a rival forthcoming in the next athletic contest. As an elocutionist Bill |)oj)ularizcd the celebrated lines of Ten- nyson : “Break, break, break on thy cold, gray stones, oh sea! Would that my soul couhi utter the thoughts that arise in me.” Tlie iieculiar fitness of the meaning of these lines to his emotional temiierament perhajis made Bill love them so well. As a pastime he studies fhe character and disjiosition of the Bussians and their leaders. He is an ardent admirer of this race, although he himself is of dislinctly Celtic origin. Wluitever profession he adojits wilf he better for his entrance, for his ])rofound thought and diligence will contribute much towards its elevation and advancement. 32

(Blip mpagup In iEnfnrrp ppar? ' rn ' r this crisis in the world’s history there is a crying need Tor A W some ])raetieal plan to further the dislieartened crusade for International Peace. However, a lasting i)eace among nations seems im])ossihle from the usual proposals of dis - armament and even from the usual treaties of arbitration. We are, indeed, not blind to the events of the hour. The great war, which has held the foremost j)lace in the world’s history for the past three years, has affected us to such extent that we are not only privi- leged, we are in duty hound to search after a i)anacea for international ills. If this war has accomplished nothing else il lias at least disclosed in the heart of every intelligent creature the craving for the advent of a universal force which could be used to deliver humanity from the toils in which it has been enmeshed for centuries; a force which could be the weajion of a new dispensation summoned not in the cause of selfish hostility or jiolitical ambition but in the cause of a universal justice, a universal order and a universal jieace. A i)ian has been both initiated and matured on this side of the At- lantic which emliodies in its covenant just those principles. The League to Enforce Peace, a product of the mature delilierations of America’s foremost statesmen, was brought into being for the purpose of prevent- ing, if iiossible, the recurrence of such a catastrophe as that which for the last three years has engulfed the nations of Europe. The league invites the meinbershiji of eveiy nation of the civilized world. Its jirogram calls for: (1) a legislative conference for the de- velopment of international law; (2) an international tribunal for the settlement of justifiable questions arising between members of the league; (3) a council of conciliation for the submission of non-justifica- ble dis|)utes for mediation and comjiromise, and (4) the joint action of co-o])crating nations to conqiel any nation to submit its case for con- sideration to the international court or the council of conciliation. The league is not a sto])-the-war movement, in fact it concerns itself in no way with the jiresent contlict; nor do its siionsors ojipose military 34
