mined to use each semester as a stepping stone to higher things. Fortunate Senior ! The faculty roster of 1920-21 announced the com- ing of Fr. John P. Meagher, S. J., as professor of philosophy. Genial yet firm, Fr. Meagher took up his duties and in short time we were well drilled in the principles of general ethics, cosmology and rational psychology. Let it be said of Fr. Meagher that he was a teacher and a friend, a man who knew and did convey his knowledge. Kver patient and con- siderate, we shall for 11 time remember him as a man s man and let us hope that our gratitude to him may some day be evidenced by accom- plishments worthy of the energies he expanded upon us. Even in our early High School days we knew from hearsay of the ability and acumen of that profound scientist Fr. Joseph M. Kelly, S. J., but it was not until Senior 3 ' ear that we were privileged to reap of his vast scientific knowledge. Our course under Fr. Kelly was brief but very fruitful, and despite the enormity of his other duties no time or effort was spared by him in making our lectures and laboratory work interesting and beneficial. By an unfortunate force of circumstance we were deprived of many valuable lectures by Fr. William F. Jordan. Joining us in the second term as professor of political economy he had but begun his course of lectures when illness overtook him. We deeply regretted his absence and sympathized with him in his misfortune, full realizing the loss we had sustained. To our respective deans, Fr. Richard A. Fleming, S. J., Fr. William Stinson, S. J., and Fr. Francis M. Connell, S. J., we pen an expression of gratitude. “But now the day is done, its hours have run !” We stand at the gate of the future. But we are unafraid, “we are the masters of our souls.” We enter upon new life with unfaltering step, bearing in mind those precepts, those ideals, those loves we have cherished as students. The lessons of right, of justice and of faithfulness to duty have been deeply instilled into our souls by devoted teachers. To them we owe much, and to them we gratefully offer our deepest heartfelt thanks, full knowing that we can never make adequate return of their untiring efforts for our welfare. Old Loyola! We bid thee au revoir but not good-bye.

JAMES LACY BRADLEY Lacy, the one remaining antique of yesteryear when a man’s word sufficed for a loan. Surrounded as he is by a good natured rotundity and a flowing opulence, he is, as it were, a living refutation of the belief that Uncle Benny and his ilk have no place among College men. What shall be said of this anomalous homo ? What can be writ of one whose trend of thoughts follow such contradictories as divorce, hymn books and pecuniary generosity ? Yet can we say, the complacency of the demure Lacy has ever been to us a guiding light in the path of patience. He is not to be perturbed, come what will and annoying elements that vex most of us are but accidents “en passant” to him. An active part has been his in everj’ undertaking of the class and we are grateful to him. He alone starred for us consistently in athletics throughout the entire course, and the dailies have attested to his victories for Lojmla again and again. As a class officer from time to time, Lacy has exhibited a discreetness which evidences his maturitj and financial proportions. In the future, should all aspects of life be treated by him with the same self confidence as have things in the past, there shall be no insurmountable obstacles and his path shall be primrose, flowered with the daintiest blossoms. “Attempt the end and never stand to doubt Nothing’s so hard but search will find it out.” IS2I 9
