and then there was Loyolci Night P erhaps the most popular event on the campus social calendar is the annual musical and variety show, Loyola Night. Students from all classes write and produce comedy skits, monologues, song parodies and other hits of entertainment. Always well-attended, this year’s Loyola Night was particu- larly successful.

THE STUDENT A Portrait of the Scholar as a Young Man A s FAR BACK AS 1600. one Will Shakesj)eare was describing the ordinary student as ' an unhappy l)reed of human “creeping like a snail unwillingly to school.” Not much has happened in the meantime — atomic power and jet propulsion notwithstanding — to increase the rate of speed of a young scholar from breakfast table to that first Monday morning class.
