We Pause to dedicate AUTHOR of “Saint Among Savages ' ’ and many other Morks, Father Talbot checks research on his newest book. It was over a year after the matriculation of the classes of 1949 that Loyola was sent a new Presi- dent. In December, 1947, the Very Reverend Francis X. Talbot, S. J., former Editor-in-Chief of America, national weekly Jesuit magazine, suc- ceeded the Very Reverend Edward B. Bunn, S. J., at Evergreen. Father Talbot quickly made the difficult change from editor to college administrator. By his per- sonal interest in the Student Council and all campus activities, he demonstrated immediately his enthusi- asm for Loyola and her students. By his pleasant talks at gymnasium assemblies and other gatherings, we learned he was a man who said what he meant and meant what he said. By his conversation with Loyola men on or off campus, he confirmed his belief in listening to the student viewpoint. And by aiding those among us who approached him on matters of counsel, he showed himself a true son of Ignatius. Father Talbot’s duties of office and work on his newest book prevented him from engaging in stu- dent life as much as he wished. Yet it was rare when we did not find him at a Loyola event, academic, social or athletic. It is the honor of the February, May and July classes of 1949 of Loyola to dedicate our yearbook to Father Talbot. For he stands for ever i;hing that made Loyola our alma mater. STUDENT GOVERNMENT was whole-heartedly endorsed by Father Talbot, shown with Mr. G. E. Herzer, Lay Faculty- Advisor, at a Student Council session. Ray Wittelsberger ponders the merits of the question on the floor.
