RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES St. Francis Xavier University exists in vain if its graduates are not sterling toIIowers of Christ. Its purpose is to produce men whose Iives are reguIated by Christian principles, and whose actions are supernaturalized by a true love ot God. Thus these religious activities do not exist for their own sake, but rather as a means by which the students ot' St. Francis Xavier University are enabled to realize the aim of true education-to form Christ in the hearts of men. The spiritual director for this term has been Reverend A. Rankin, and the toIIowing rehgious activities were carried out under his guidance. Uctober 2-SpirituaI Retreat. November I-Feast otiAII Saints. December 5+I7east ofSt. Francis Xavier. December 8-Feast oth Immaculate Conception. IVIarch 7-Observance of Feast ofSt. Thomas Aquinas. ApriI -I-Upening of Spiritual Retreat. April 7-Closing of Retreat. April I0-Ifaster IVIonday. April 26-Feast ot'SoIemnity ofSt. Ioseph. IVIay QI-BaccaIaureate Sunday. During the year several spiritual bouquets were made up for diiitierent pur- poses. The student body co-operated wlwleheartedly in these offerings. Un HoIy Thursday a twenty-four hour vigil was maintained in our new chapel by the students. It is the hope of Faculty, the Religious Committee and the student body that 19-19-50 has been a success in the religious as weII asain other tieIds of activity. 137
