C hambers. . mhithrrmarh HERE exists in man a principle, free and spiritual, radically distinct from his mate- 93 Yam . . d. .1 f t d M r1al being. Thus we or mari y re er o an NIQZ speak of man as having two natures, his material or, as some prefer, animal nature G! ' and his spiritual nature. It is true that exception may be taken to this last statement by those who stand always for exactnessg as precision would require that we state that man has one composite nature with two phases, material and spiritual. Yet in treating of man's life, tendencies and the end which he seeks to attain, it is per- missible to allow convenience to overrule exactness in order to secure clarity and brevity, without the necessity of a particular statement and explanation of the phases of man's nature at each reference to the side or part being discussed. Therefore we will take advantage of the expressions com- monly used and readily recognized by all those who have, as well as those who have not, given time to the study of the science of real being. We propose, then, to deal with man and his two natures, material and spiritual, and as to whitherward each of them impels him. By the spiritual nature we mean not only that which verifies the body but the principle in man which is at once free, spiritual and immortal as well. To satisfy the material nature, ease, comfort and health are sought and cherished. The means of attaining them can be easily seen, understood and efforts made for their acquisition. Each individual requires different things for the satisfaction ofnhis material cravings, activity is essen- tially necessary to one, whereas rest and ease are the de- mands of another. Strict regard for and observance of the natural law are essential as the first step in the attainment WHITHERWARD 7 of that which will satisfy the material man, for disregard for or breaking these laws is violence and violence is always antagonistic to comfort. So keeping these laws, the other things can be sought directly and with a clear understand- ing of the object in view, no uncertainty need interrupt the course pursued, for the end to be reached is understood, the way is open and right effort will accomplish and obtain what is sought. That many may fail and do fail in obtain- ing satisfaction of their material desires is the result of mis- directed effort, not of the interference of insurmountable obstacles. The failure of many to satisfy their material nature does not prove that the possibility of so doing is not within man's knowledge, grasp and power. Dealing with man's spiritual nature, we find a desire for something far above and beyond the desires and require- ments of the material being. When Saint Augustine's com- panion and follower, Paulinus, journeyed into Northumbria impelled by zeal for the conversion of King Edwin and his subjects, he was rebuffed. King, nobles and people feared the stranger with his reputed magicg and fear made them loath to place themselves in his power. They had heard rumors of this unusual man, going from place to place preaching a new religion which would substitute a new God for the old ones and put a stop to the ancient customs of the land, hence added to fear was the ever present aversion to changing from the old to the new. But his propositions seemed so fair and his manner so sure that they hesitated, and, when Paulinus made his formal plea for a hearing, the king called his council to consider the matter. The dis- cussion was longg no decision seemed possible until an aged thane rose to- speak. When, said he, O King, you and your ministers are seated at table in the depth of winter, and the cheerful fire blazes on the hearth in the middle of the hall, a swallow perhaps, chased by wind and snow, enters at one door of the apartment and escapes by the 8 IGNATIAN other. During the moment of its passage it enjoys the warmthg when it is once departed, it is seen no more. Such is the nature of man. During a few years his existence is visible, but what has preceded or what will follow it, is concealed from the view of mortals. If the new religion offer any information on subjects so mysterious and im- portant, it must be worthy of our attention. It is not the purpose to give an account of the con- version of Northumbria, or a histo-ry of the labors of early English missionaries. The thane spoke well, yet he but voiced the intense interest of all people in their future, the yearning of spiritual nature for the something which will satisfy, which will bring perfect happiness. There is no question which occupies men mo-re than this of their ultimate end. Whether or not man is destined for a future life and what that life will be, arouses just as much interest to-day and will cause just as much speculation and search in future ages as it did in the sixth century when Paulinus was asking permission to preach. Some there are who proclaim the belief that the present existence is all sufficient,,that in the span of human life full satisfaction, perfect happiness, is attainable, that all things necessary to fulfill man's desires are present to be sought for and secured, yet all such are dissatisfied. Apparently their own declarations couched in pleasant language, or in confusing terms, mislead them for a time, only, however, to again send them seeking, until they leave this world con- tending that they have attained that which they are still pursuing, the ultimate end of man, perfect happiness. Their condition may be likened to that of the boy passing through a grave-yard at night, whistling to convince himself that he is not afraid of imaginary dangers, which nevertheless pur- sue him until he passes through the darkness and the evils suggested by his surroundings into light and companion- ship. Therefore it may be set down that every man desires WHITHERWARD 9 perfect happiness. The conceptions of what constitutes this state may be different, many may be mistaken in their no- tions of what this happiness consists, still they all desire itg the higher the intellect the loftier the conception of happi- ness, with a corresponding intensification of the yearning for it. It is a truth that everything which exists is naturally fitted for its own peculiar purpose. Hence man also exists for a purposeg he is tending toward some last end. Now in order to find this last end the best course will be to examine into man's nature. It is a well-known truth that man is never satisfied, he is continually seeking something which always seems to be just a little beyond his grasp. No matter what position he may occupy, he is dissatisfied. Some seek satisfaction and peace in the pursuit of wealth and power. Yet while striving for it they are not at peace and, after they have attained it, like Alexander they weep for more worlds to conquer. Wealth or power, desirable as they seem before attainment, do not give the satisfac- tion expected. The ordinary man thinks he would be per- fectly happy did he only possess genius, yet we find that the genius has some other goal in view. No matter what We may do, or seek to do, we do not feel satisfiedg no man seems to have attained his end. There is a desire which is present in all of us, which we are continually trying to satisfy. This is a part of our nature which we cannot es- cape. That which we desire is called happiness, it becomes essential to consider and learn in what this consists. Our whole existence is filled with the desire that things may go well with us and -ours. No matter where we are or what we do this desire is urging us on. Sometimes, it is true, we act without being conscious of its infiuenceg but if we inquire carefully we will recognize its presence in much the same manner that our desire to reach our destination always directs us while on a journeyg we can forget our 10 IGNATIAN purpose temporarily while on the way without having given up our original intention to reach the objective point. We are all seeking the good, even at times going to extremes to obtain it. No action can be performed by any rational per- son unless he sees that it will bring him a resultg this result is always a betterment, a good, else the impelling cause for action would be lacking. Sometimes our actions may be bad but the motive which urges us to perform them is the at- tainment of something which is an advantage over what we possess and consequently an apparent good. This good which we all desire is not only material but a higher one as well, for the material is incapable of satisfying the spir- itual. We desire bodily comfort and at the same time yearn for complete mental peace and satisfaction. We may have contentment for material desires, or even in the intellectual field, but contentment is not perfect happiness, it is a par- tial satisfaction resulting more from comparing what we have attained with what was before possessed and realizing that more is not to be obtained, yet signifying that the natural desire has not been completely met. In other words, we must have spiritual as well as material good. Added to this desire for all good, is a demand that there be absolutely no evil present to counteract the good. We are even dissatisfied if we can see some impending evil or some good which we have not attained. We require good and good alone, our happiness must be complete and per- fect, else we cannot be at rest. Besides the two things just mentioned, we must have a third before we are entirely satisfied. Herodotus tells us that Xerxes was happy and congratulated himself when he beheld his ships filling the waters of the Hellespont and his armies covering the sur- rounding shores. But soon he wept, and being questioned, answered: There came upon me, a sudden pity, when I considered the shortness of man's life, and considered that of all this host, so numerous as it is, not one will be alive WHITHERWARD ll when a hundred years are gone by.', So it is with all of usg the thought that we cannot continue to enjoy the good We possess eternally is sufficient to render us dissatisfied and unhappy. How often does the thought it is too good to last cast its shadow over our happiest moments! We can now define the natural desire for happiness as the longing for that state or condition of soul in which all good is present, all evil absent, and there is also present the assurance that the state will continue forever. As we know of this desire, our next consideration must be whether or not it is possible to attain it. A little consideration will show us that every one of our sensuous appetitive faculties can be satisfied fully and completely. The desire for happiness also arises from a faculty, though it is of a higher order than the others. It is but reasonable to state that since there is satisfaction for our sensuous appetities, there must also be satisfaction for our rational appetite. If not, then we can only conclude that man's higher faculties are a mockery and man is really no higher in the hierarchy of being than the animal. It is sometimes said that many do not attain happinessg this is true, but the fact that some do not attain it does not prove that they cannot attain happiness. Hence we can pos- itively state that man can satisfy his desire for happiness. Our next consideration must be where man can find happiness. Will he attain it here or hereafter? Let us consider the present life first. Is there anything in this world capable of satisfying all our desires and thus making us perfectly happy? Wealth is sought by many, but wealth is not the end of our searchg it can only be considered a means to an end. Praise of our fellow-men for what we have done fails to satisfy our desiresg we want more than praise and the accompanying esteem. Furthermore these are not attainable by all of us and so cannot be man's last end. If we turn to sensual pleasures, we find they lower man to 12 IGNATIAN the level of the brute and tend to degrade him. They cannot be man's last end or give him happiness, for happiness can only be found in making himself more nearly perfect. The pursuit and acquisition of scientific knowledge cannot make man happy for his ability is limited and science is finite. Virtue and its practice cannot be man's last end, for virtue is but a means to perfection. All these taken together will not bring perfect happiness, for they are all finite and our happiness, to- be perfect, must endure forever. We can say then, that such happiness is not attainable in this life. Of course, as we have seen, some do reach and all can reach the condition called content. We feel that all of our desires cannot be satisfied and so endeavor to put them aside and make the best of what we have. It must be admitted that we can attain to an imperfect happiness in this life. This state can be and often is reached, but it is not all that is desired nor can it be said to be our last end. It is sometimes charged that man is unreasonable in this desire, that he ought to have moderation in his desires of happiness as in everything else and hence the happiness attainable here should be enough. The falsity of this is apparent. No one will contend that the sick man is un- reasonable in his desire for boundless health. In fact, if someone told us that he only Wanted a moderate amount of health, we would seriously doubt his sanity. If it is not unreasonable for a man to desire perfection in a material good, how can it be unreasonable for him to want perfect immaterial good? This desire is implanted in man, like the seeking after material good, it is part of his nature, an attri- bute ever present demanding satisfaction, never ceasing in its yearning until it attains fulfilment. Since perfect happiness cannot be found here, it must be found hereafter. In the future life we are sure of eternal duration at least. Having this much, We need now only look for an object in the possession of which we will be perfectly WHITHERWARD 13 happy. The possession spoken of is not material possession but rather the possession of the object by the soul. We must find some object which is in itself infinite goodness and truth, for we can only find complete satisfaction of the desires of our higher faculties in such a being. And such a being will be the being toward which man tends as his last end. There is only one such being in all the universe. That being is God, Who is infinitely perfect in all things and incapable of any trace of evil. In Him alone will man find the satisfaction of all his desires: that happiness and peace which he is always seeking. Man's happiness will be found in the knowledge and contemplation of his Creator's per- fections, that is in the exercise of his highest faculties in the highest possible manner. Hence the conclusion forces itself upon us, that the object toward which man tends as his last end is God, and that happiness consists in the pos- session of God. For it is only then that man will reach his greatest perfection in the unlimited use of his highest fac- ulties. When we are inquiring into man's last end, this con- clusion is the only reasonable one. Look as far as we may, read what books we choose, or listen to what theories we can, the only answer we can give, and feel confident in the giving, when asked: Why are you here? is the old- fashioned, true one learned by all of us when scarcely able to pronounce the words: God made me to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him in this world, and to be happy with Him forever in the next. W. F. M ahoney. Glnntentment EACE is the cry from the mariner's heart, When bestormed on the trackless expanse Of fathomless waters where no friendly mart Stands a bulwark to grim death's advance. Peace cries the Thracian in fury of war, For peace prays the Parthian boldg But it never was shaped by an artisan's lore, Nor bartered for purple or gold. For the cares of the mind are not driven away By the sweep of a king's stately traing And a jewel bedecked and a smiling array Cannot solace a soul's secret pain. Why for the baubles of life do We slave, And bandy with Vanishing time, If burdened with riches we sink in a grave, While seeking a halcyon clime? Worry can compass a brass armored ship, Can outdistance the Heetest of steedsg And noiseless and thicker than mist it will slip Into castles and strongholds of greed. Ah! blessed is he and peaceful his days, Who frets not of his frugal boardg But smiles with content as the sun's parting rays Gild the hovel that claims him its lord. Chas. B. Lafferty. Big 69112 7.3251 Bunk HE last sheet fluttered from the typewriter. I slipped the cover tenderly over the faith- ' ' 1. l ll a ful machine, filled my pipe, and lounged deep in an easy-chair. On the back of an old envelope I figured my probable royal- ties. The book undoubtedly would be a seller, as I had written it with an eye to please the cranky bookreader. I would have it attractively illustrated in col- ors by Marcus Angelou and Mons, Bouvierf' Of course the first four or live editions would have to go to editors for reviews, and to personal friends. I would have also to spend about a thousand dollars or so to secure special reading space in the best magazines, but nevertheless I couldn' t see how I could fail to make a couple of thousand to put away for a rainy day. As I was thus figuring, the clock in the hall was just booming the hour of twelve. This was unusualg as the sole mission of this clock seemed to be to gather dust as an excuse for stopping. With the dying of the bell I distinctly heard a rustle among the papers upon my desk and a faint smoke issued from the typewrtiten sheets. My heart mounted to my throat. The thought that my masterpiece was going up in smoke overwhelmed me. With superhu- man effort I summoned all my remaining nerve force and was about to rush to the desk to save the story when I was halted by a new horror, for the vapor was taking human shape. With blanched face and protruding eyes I watched the object grow from whirling smoke into the form of a six- foot man. Clearer and clearer grew the phantom. Detail after detail became visible until the colorings of the gar- ments showed and the stalwart hero of my romance stood 16 IGNATIAN before me. His dress of velvet and lace, once the product of studied extravagance, was tattered and stained with blood. His breeches were worn and muddy, and he was in his stocking feet, with toes protruding from the worn silken hose. For only an instant he stood on the littered desk. Then the black eyes glowing in the firelight saw me, and after muttering something to himself, he leaped lightly to the floor, his features swollen with rage, and his handsome face contorted with scorn and wrath. You uncharitable dog, he screamed. You dime novel writer. By the nine gods of Sycorax, I have you where I want you now. Thus speaking my hero wrenched his blade from its scabbard, the steel still dripping with the blood of the villain killed in the last chapter only a few minutes before. I had barely time to put the heavy table between us before he was upon me. Snatching a baseball bat from the decorated walls of my study I determined that he would not force me to yield without a spirited combat. With eyes riveted upon our weapons we lurched from one end of the room to the other, knocking the furniture right and left. Unfortunately, I had created him the best swordsman in the world, and he had the best of me for awhile, wounding me once in the hand by a low thrust. But he was no match against me with his cutting exclama- tions, for I did not put in his head all that I knew. Al- though I am a poor swordsman at best, having only read in my youth a small book containing the Art of Fencing, I could recall from memory his exact mode of fighting, and was able to keep his point -well away from the 57-carat diamond in my shirt front. O shag-ear'd villain, he panted, but you can fight pretty well for a never-shall-be writer. You will try no MY ONE BEST BOOK 17 more of your weak writing, for you will soon feel the sting of death from my sword. I made a lunge at him and just missed his nose with my bat by a narrow margin. I then sorely regretted hav- ing made him such a big, stalwart brute, as I am not above the medium height, but perhaps my very thinness saved my life. Tired and dripping we stopped for breath with overtopped table between us. Now Mr. James Kennedy, I puffed, I would like to know why you beset me so sorely without any apparent cause. 'lWhat cause have I to beset you P he snorted. Why, look at me. You have made me wear the same suit of clothes through the whole story. About the middle of it you made me take off my Shoes without putting them on again, and I have been going around barefooted since. I have had no sleep or anything to eat for about three Weeks, and then you say what cause have I. Well, it's for you to defend yourself, so get ready. So saying he charged me, and soon I weakened under the strain. I could no longer hold up my bat to ward off his thrusts. My weapon fell, he plunged his sword into my heart and everything was sent into oblivion. I awoke as I fell out of the armchair. It had only been a dream and I was perspiring freely from the excitement of it. I stood up and took my book, found a leather bag, rope and a window weight. Putting them all into a satchel, I walked, in the stillness of the night, down to the wharf and cast them into the dark waters of the bay, vowing at the same time that I would never try to write a book again.

EE, 1511 - i -. li l T happened, not so very long ago, That Alma Mater, always keen for knowledge, Chanced in an idle hour to glance through A catalogue of St. Ignatius College. You're all familiar with the book in question 5 It's issued at the time of graduation- Contains a mass of stuff you've never read, Compiled in fact for strangers' admiration. A prosy pamphlet full of names and figures, High sounding courses, Greek and Latin data, With lists of prizes, teachers, scholarships And quite a lot of other useless chatter. Turning the leaves at random Alma Mater Came to the list of those who had degrees, Arranged by years in uninviting rows Of staid A. M.'s and quite as staid A. B.'s. Now Alma Mater, if the truth be told, Although a creature oft by poets sung, Is not a blushing sweet-and-twenty girl- The brutal truth is, she's no longer young. 'Tis not polite to talk of ladies' ages, And yet her birth the records sternly Hx g Though well preserved, unwrinkled, rather pretty, She's not a year this side of fifty-six! Being thus far advanced in years our Alma Is gifted with a tireless verbosity, IGNATIAN And being true daughter to her mother Eve, Is not untinged with female curiosity. Small wonder then that as she idled o'er The prosy book of which I've just made mention, The list of graduates spread page on page In stern array, attracted her attention. She read the names in rather listless fashion And as she read a curious suggestion Obtruded o-n her active woman's brain, Framing itself in something like this question: In all this roster of imposing names Drawn from all countries underneath the sun, ' I wonder which of all these alien races May claim to be the most illustrious one? I read here names Italian, Irish, Spanish, Names French, names German and names Japanese, All sorts of names in fact-and so I wonder Which is the most illustrious of these? Which country that has sent its students to The halls of St. Ignatius may make boast That in my silent busy class rooms it Is represented by the mightiest host? As thus she mused in idle yawning mood Our dear good aged Alma Mater slept And through her sleep a pageant as of dreams With motion strange and stranger language stepped First came a laughing, freckled, blue-eyed priest, His thinning golden hair without alloy, And bowing low to Alma Mater, said: I represent the French, I'm Father Joy. ALMA MATER AND THE BOYS 'Tis true there's no French blood within my veins But now that teaching French is all the vogue, I follow fashion and as best I can Irnpart the accent with a little brogue. I come to tell that out of all your students The French stand first in all collegiate gloryg To tell their names, their honors to recount Would be a splendid but an endless story. The list is legion, but I fear fatigue Would fall upon you e'er their names I'd say- I need but mention famed Achille Artigue With Duraind, Rouleau, Francoeur and Mahe! He ceased, bowed, vanished, in his place appeared A gallant haughty don who scarce would deign To bow to Alma Mater e'er he said With flashing eye: I come from sunny Spain! What though your Spanish graduates may be In numbers few 5 their quality resplendent Proclaims them great beyond each other race, Wise, virtuous, in every way transcendent. What other nation that you've harbored here Could hope, by best of fortune, to prepare as Fine a list as one that should contain Gonzales and Corbala and Carreras ? He went his way, and as he went a noise Like the explosion of a fire cracker Announced to Alrna Mater the approach Of a German father, Joseph Spangemacher. I represent the Fatherlandf' he cried, And grinned as every merry German ought Q IGNATIAN But as my name is difficult to say, I won't mind if you call me Spang for short. Well, Father Spangf' said Alma Mater sweetly, I hope that you can make a better case For your compatriots than the others did- The French and Spanish scarce are in the race. And then there poured from Father Spangemacher A list of names that seemed to sneeze and coughf- Reichling and Sweigert, Hartman, Freechtle, Schott Von Egloffstein and Jung and Kieferdorf. Enough ! cried Alma Mater, who is next P I am,', a voice replied, and lo, behold! A jolly priest, his red hair pretty thin, Not quite a youngster, not exactly old. He looked across his spectacles and laughed So heartily that at a glance you'd tell he Had a sense of humor. What's your name ? I'm Father President, my name's Trivellif' And Alma Mater laughed, she couldn't help, He looked so merry and he spoke so wittily. Continuing he said, You think me Irish, Hut nothing doing, I was born in Italy. And I contend that Italy stands first Among the honored grads of St. Ignatius. You don't believe it? What a strange idea! You must have evidence? Why, goodness gracious! I'm willing if you've got the time to spare 5 I'm not the sort of man a task to shirk, But if I named them all you'd think I cribbed The list of soldiers fighting with the Turk. ALMA MATER AND THE BOYS Doctor Pescia who'd ever forget Or overlook Charley Lastret? There is Henrico Costa To help out the roster, And Constantine Bricca, you bet. Campodonicds name makes me leary But itls easier to say than Caglierig The Rossis are twins, There's a brace of Gianinns, And I could give you more, but you'd weary. This sing-song over, Alma Mater yawned, As who should say, I've wasted time enoughg But suddenly another caught her ear By tapping his finger on a box of snuff. A sturdy little man, in prime of life, The pink of health bright glistening in his cheek, Named Dionysius, called, who knows? After the Syracusan or the Greek. I'm not quite sure how he got the nameg I've heard surmises curious and quaintg Suffice that of the other two who bore it One was a bloody tyrant, one a saint. He spoke in measured words of honeyed tone, Waxing a bit sarcastic now and then: Dear Alma Mater, why should you be bored With the loud chatter of these foolish men? They speak of Frenchmen, Germans, Spaniards to Italians and, if I mistake not, Dutch- I tell you that the glory of your name Relies not, never will rely on such. 0, IGNATIAN And if the truth were only brought to light, The truth which they would very gladly smother, I bet you'd find that many a man they named Was great because he had an Irish mother. These French, these Germans and the rest, I grant, Are not without an elementary guile, They know enough to marry Irish girls Who in the course of time bear sons worth while. And yet I waive this point-it matters not- I still can show by names of Irish birth That for the catalogue you've just been scanning Qld Ireland supplies most men of Worth. There are Sullivans by the dozen, There are Tobins, Dunnes and Meaghers by the score There's a Doolan christened Dickey And an orator named Hickey And some Coffeys who are learned in the law. There are I-Iennesseys and Fentons, There are Flahertys and Conlons, Murphys, Queens There are Moynihans and Lenahans, And quite a bunch of Callahans, ' With Dillons and some Donohues and Breens. All the Kellys who could number Or remember all the mighty tribe of Lennon? There are Riordans, Hicks, and Phelans, There are Buckleys, Clearys, Whelans, There's a Luby and by Iove, there's Jack Mulreninl Need I mention all the Whittles and the Burkes? Need I count up all the Egans, Brooks and Flynns? Should I overlook the Connollys? ALMA MATER AND THE BOYS Z5 The Fitzpatricks and the Donnellys? And the Riley baptized Stanislaus for his sins? There's a Fogarty who presides above us all, There are Bannings and O'Neills and McElroys, There's a brace of black-haired Ryans, A fair sprinkling of O'Briens And a Cullinan who'll send more, for he has boys. Then there's Leonards, Griflins, Gleasons quite a few There are Crowleys, Mangans, Flannigans and Shays, There are Drums and some Maguires, And McKinstrys, also Dwyers, And I'm proud to say we're not without O'Days. I-Ie ceased, and Alma Mater said: You're right! The justice of your stand I must acknowledge. And so she ordered that an Irish Hag Be hoisted over St. Ignatius college. Edward F. O'Day, '00. 611112 iihgaira nf Aquin ' CARCELY a week passes, nowadays, that 2 cm JM the world is not startled, and agreeably so, sly by the announcement of some new, or mod- ern, scientific theory. In fact, the more startling the principles and the bolder the seized upon by the public and many pseudo-scientists. The seizure, however, is short-lived, because the sensation- craving are Hckle and are always ready to transfer their whimsical interest. The fireside philosophers and self- seeking men have their double in the scientists UD who color the Sunday Supplements with their over-night theories. This is not intended as an indictment against the earnest and able scientists of to-day, but it is to decry the populariz- ing of science by the press and the lucre-loving college professors, who, posing as scientists, deluge a susceptive public with their weird conglomeration of distorted and unscientiiic phantasms. This is the class of men who be- little and degrade the noble principles of true science. The over-night theorists have two pronounced tenden- cies, one of attempting to argue away from a Supreme Cause, chiefly by their espousal of the oft-exploded doctrine of Evolution, and the other, of ridiculing the scientists of the Middle Ages. The latter tendency they have trans- mitted to their followers, so that time and again, in maga- zine, newspaper, and lecture, they make the most of every opportunity to have their Hing at the Middle Age scientist. Chief among the learned men of the period in question is Thomas of Aquin, theologian, philosopher, and scientist. Born about 1226 in the castle of Rocca Secca, near Aquino, he became a Dominican at the age of seventeen, and at presumptions, the quicker is the theory THE PHYSICS OF AQUIN 27 twenty-two began to- publish his first works. His extra- ordinary ability was apparent even in his youth, and each year added to his genius and popularity. Scorning the latter, he time and again, refused lofty ecclesiastical dig- nities. So great was his modesty, and love of poverty and study that the Archbishopric of Naples was pressed upon him in vain. All his works are written in Latin, and herein lies the pity, for they contain hidden treasure, the existence of which men have never suspected. May they soon be translated! His most important work is the Summa Theo- logica, which, while professing to treat of Theology only, is really a systematic and complete summary of the knowl- edge of that time. Aquin regarded every branch of knowl- edge as a part of the knowledge of God, Whom man cannot hope to comprehend completely. This principle was his guiding star. It is a principle that would save many of our moderns a deal of vain and materialistic theorizing. It is from the Summa that we judge of the knowledge St. Thomas and his forerunners had of the science of Physics-not Physics as understood to-day, but Natural Philosophy. The confusion of tongues was nothing to the uncon- nected physical notions that Aquin reviewed and formed into an orderly system. With his wonderful intellect he argued into the very fundamentals of Nature's phenomena -and here his genius is manifested. See his definitions of Motion, Matter, Continuity and Interaction of bodies, Forces, Constitution of matter, etc. The wonderful advance of Physics in the approximate past may be to the honor of the modern scientists but had Aquin the experimental knowledge of to-day what conclusions could he not have drawn from problems that vex the scientist of to-day? The physical system of St. Thomas is peculiarly free from the reckless, unproven theories that are so character- istic of modern physicists and scientists in general. The 28 IGNATIAN exactitude of his definitions is without a par. He, with St. Augustine, wanted to know, not to conjecture. Thus it is that his physical treatises border closely upon and often lapse into a philosophical strain. But there can be no ob- jection to a trained philosopher and theologian like St. Thomas embellishing physical science with his knowledge of the higher and nobler sciences. With such as Aquin this is a most welcome method-but there are few like St. Thomas. The true scientist has nothing to fear from religion. Both proceed from the same source and one cannot contra- dict the other. Again, there never has been any revelation as to the properties of bodies, the nature oif motion and all such. In other words, there is no revealed chemistry, no revealed astronomy, and no revealed physics. These are natural sciences depending specifically upon themselves and unable to borrow from theology either the laws of their being or the methods that could accelerate their progress. All this was known to St. Thomas, and when human investigation could do no more he murmured a Laus Deo. Learned man that he was he knew better than to build a. system upon unfounded hypotheses. Truly, the spirit of God moved over his work. And his critics afore- mentioned, not only cast a shadow upon themselves and their profession, but they show exceedingly bad taste. C.

Brown uimtinfging Efhnmpznif' RANK THOMPSON sank wearily to a bench in the deserted square. The trees, M shorn of their foliage by the winds of Au- jxwgtff, tumn, offered little resistance to the fierce onslaughts of wintry blasts. The cold LJ ' chilled him to the bone, as he hastily but- toned his light overcoat. A frown chased across his fore- head and vanished. His face was frank and open and pos- sessed of a determined look. Thompson fought hardest when the tide of battle turned against him. Scarcely a year previous Thompson had been graduated from college a full-fledged lawyer-a hopeful LL. B. Six months or more of rebuffs had somewhat dampened his ardor, but not a whit dismayed him. Even that afternoon he was returning from a fruitless search for employment. And during this whole period he had grown wiser in the art of approaching irascible lawyers, some met him cor- dially, but none seemed sufficiently impressed by his per- sonality to offer him a position. This, however, caused Thompso-n no great anxiety. He was rapidly becoming hardened. At last the young lawyer arose and walked hurriedly out of the square, whistling a cheerful tune. Darkness was mantling the great city, and already the electric signs, like signs of the Zodiac, were twinkling out their messages. Far overhead a brilliant glare caught his eye, and as he read the words: What Do You Want Most For Christmas? he awoke from his reverie to the happy fact that Christmas was less than two months distant. What do I want most? he mused. Well, it costs HSATISFYING THOMPSON 31 nothing to make a wish. And perhaps some good fairy will hear me, he added humorously. My two wishes will be these, and may they speedily come true: First of all, I want employment immediatelyg next, I wish to be a hero. I might dispense with the latter, but I'll let it stand. Thompson was now far from the electric sign and enter- ing upon the residential section of the city. Suddenly a loud clanging rings out on the crisp evening air. And with it comes the thunder of galloping horses, the rattle of wheels over the cobbled streets and the shrill cries of the madly pursuing proverbial small boy. Though years of life in the city had deadened his ears to the uproar, Thomp- son feels his blood tingling with the thrill of excitement, as he leaps away in pursuit of the fast disappearing engines. Thicker and thicker grows the crowd, and soon the bril- liance of the flames bursts full upon the view. Another spurt, and Thompson is on the outskirts of the dense mob surrounding the fire line. Aided by football training of college days, he forces his way to the very front of the crowd with naught between him and the fire save the illustrious guardians of the law. On inquiry Thompson learned that the blazing building was owned by Judge Morgan. The house was a fair type of the modern home, a neat, substantial two-story structure. The fire had started in the rear of the first floor, and the entire lower portio-n of the building was a mass of flames. Ever and anon a tongue of flame would leap out of the shattered windows, reach up towards the roof, then dart back into its fiery mouth, leaving behind its blistered touch. The crackle of the wood was lost in the hiss of water as the firemen fruitlessly turned the streams upon it. Within an hour the whole structure would be a charred ruin. Suddenly at an upper window, framed in smoke and 32 IGNA TIAN flame, appears a little child, forgotten in the mad rush from the burning home. Her face shines ghastly white in the flickering glare of the fire. Half overcome by the dense smoke and terrified by the incessant roar, she holds out her small, white arms to the crowd beneath, and piteously cries to them to save her. A A shudder runs through the mob on the street below. Open-mouthed they gaze upon her, horrified, unable to move a limb. Not so with Thompson 5 in a moment he has determined. With a wild charge he bowls over a burly policeman, clears the slippery sidewalk and flooded lawn, and springs up the swaying stairs to vanish in the seething caldron. With a gasp of horror the crowd watch him, and not one but believes that the daring youth has courted certain destruction. It seemed as if an age had passed before he again ap- peared, silhouetted in the blazing doorway. Bare-headed, coatless, his clothing afire, but in his arms he bore, surely wrapped in his coat, the little child, unharmed. For an in- stant he hesitated, swayed to and fro, then plunged down the steps to the sidewalk below, and fell, overcome by terrible agony. Willing hands beat out the tongues of flame, and bore him to a place of safety. A white-faced mother pressed the rescued child to her throbbing bosom, and shook with sobs of joy. Then only did the tense strain break, and in cheer after cheer did the crowd give vent to pent-up feeling. Suddenly the exultant cries were drowned in the roar of the fire, as the sides of the doomed building crashed in, sending up a shower of brilliant sparks. Like maddened beasts, the flames leapt higher and higher into the black night, and then, as if through sheer exhaustion, sank back wearily to earth. An ambulance drove swiftly up, and in it the un- conscious hero was borne to the hospital. Then the crowd slowly dispersed, and all, save a few, left the blazing ruins NSATISFYING THOMPSON 33 that had so nearly become a funeral pyre. Excitement had been theirs that night, and each heart glowed warmly for the man who had leaped into the jaws of Death and snatched forth its human prey. A month has passed. On a little cot in the ho-spital Thompson lies lighting for his life. After a month of un- told suffering, he was rapidly traveling the sure road to recovery. Propped up with pillows, Thompson read the accounts of the fire, which the nurse had carefully preserved. Now and then a smile flitted across his features as he read the flowery description by some reporter, who wrote to fill space and earn S20 a week. One of the papers went so far as to publish a photograph of the dashing young lawyer, which as far as resemblance was concerned, might have been a painting of Queen Elizabeth. It looked human, that was all. Another florid account stated that Thompson was a successful young lawyer, now practicing in our cityf' This was the most unkindest cut of all. With a groan, Thompson flung the paper from him, and lay back to think. Santa Claus was on the job for once, he muttered, gazing at the white ceiling. I surely couldn't wish to be- come a greater hero than these sheets have made me. Talk about your Caesars and Hobsons and Christy Matthewsons! By the way, what was the name of that family, anyhow? Mogan, Minehan, Morgan? Ah! that's it-Morgan. Now I wonder- Whatever Thompson wondered was cut short by the appearance of the nurse accompanied by an elderly gentle- man, of affable and dignified demeanor. Judge Morgan, said the nurse, waving her hand to- wards the invalid- our hero. And Mr. Thompson, she added with a smile, this is Judge Morgan, who comes to speak with the brave man who rescued his little daughter. As the nurse retired, the Judge gazed a moment at 2 34 IGNATIAN the pale, fire-scarred face of the man who had so generously realized in his own life the words ever ancient, ever new, Greater love than this no man hath, that he lay down his life for his friend. Thompson put forth a thin, white hand from the coverlets, and the judge, overcome by emotions surging about his noble heart, sprang forward, grasped that hand cordially, and strong man that he was, burst into a flood of tears. My dear boy, he said, controlling his emotion, how can I thank you for your brave act in saving my little child. I long to tell you in words all that I feel within. But words are shallow, empty, vain. My heart speaks its gratitude to you. God knows that whatever I can ever do for you, that I shall most willingly, most readily accom- plish. Whatever I can do to alleviate your sufferings or assist you in any way-ask and it shall be done. Well, Judge, replied Thompson, turning his eyes from the tear-stained countenance of the old Judge, and fixing them upon the head-lines Hero of one of the newspapers lying on the Hoor, the first favor I ask of you is that you say no more about it. Perhaps when I relate the whole case to you, you will feel less gratitude towards me. No, no, that can never be, and the good old man em- phasized his words with another cordial handshake. Wait and see, rejoined Thompson, and he delivered his brief', of the case, from the moment he sat on the bench in the wind-swept square, until, overcome by his suf- ferings, he sank to the slippery sidewalk, his precious charge secure in his strong arms. The Judge listened intently until Thompson had finished. Then he burst forth. The lawyer had pleaded his case, the Judge was about to pass sentence. Either you were a brave man or you were a fool. I choose to believe the former. No man can tell me that any sane person would dash into a burning building-into HSATISFYING THOMPSON 35 the very arms of the fire-demon, for the sake of mere no- toriety. No, my boy, you were impelled by some higher, some grander motive. You were led by your own brave, generous nature, not by a foolish whim occasioned by the words of an electric sign. . As the Judge spoke out the enthusiasm of his noble soul, Thompson became more and more embarrassed. The Judge perceived this and came to the hero's rescue. By the way, my boy, I see that you are a successful lawyer. Strange I have not encountered you before. This only served to render Thompson still more helpless, but he finally managed to blurt out a few scorching re- marks concerning the newspapers in general. Cooling down he told the Judge frankly his true circumstances. The generous old man was beside himself, and he heartily condemned all the press to a life sentence in regions far beyond the reach of the Supreme Court. Why didn't they let me kno-W the truth?', he fairly yelled. Here you have been lying in a public hospital, destitute for all I know, and these fool reporters grind out columns of stuff about 'successful lawyers,' 'large prac- tice,' eh-! I-Iere the Judge subsided possibly for lack of breath, but drawing a fresh supply, he proceeded more calmly. Now listen, on the very day that you are discharged from this hos- pital, you corne to me, and We will show the newspapers and all the rest of the world that all gratitude has not yet departed from the land of the living. Remember, he added jovially, I am the Judge, and you are the defendant. Hav- ing heard your case through, and weighed all evidence 'pro and conf I hereby formally condemn you to a life position in my law offices, as junior member of the firm of Morgan Sz Thompson, attorneys-at-law. With another cordial handshake the good old Judge took 36 IGNATIAN his leave, and as he passed out in the corridor Thompson stared at the closing door, wondering if he were awake. Sentenced to a life position in the offices of Morgan Sz Thompson! Well, of all the fairy-godmothers, that little girl-! They say Santa Claus doesn't exist and that the age of miracles is past, he continued, but if I am not dreaming, and the old judge is not insane, you'll have to show me. With these reflections, Thompson-turned on his side and courted sleep. Warren W. Brown. Hiriaaiiuhn Vicissitude, thou art the queen of all Fair nature deigns to yield.

Eirharh Cllraaham T is now just three centuries since the birth of Crashaw, a fact that renders an appre- 3 cation of his life and works, at this time, MQ? eminently appropriate. Richard Crashaw, A T' ' , the son of an Anglican clergyman, was ' T ' born in London about the year 1612. His cf-wh father enjoyed a considerable reputation as a preacher, and also as a polemical author, due to his rabid invectives against Catholicism, of which he was a professed enemy. Singularly, the son grew to manhood, untainted with this spirit. The young Crashaw was educated at Charterhouse and later entered Pembroke College, Cambridge. We are not possessed of a very detailed account of his life at col- lege, but from his own words, it would seem to be some- what that of a recluse. There, in St. Mary's Church, under the Tertullian roof of angels, he spent his leisure hours, like a primitive saint, offering more prayers by night than others usually offer in a day. But he did not neglect pro- fane pursuits, for his scholarly attainments in the Classics, Hebrew, French and Italian, brought him into the high, though restricted esteem, of his university associates. Crashaw was not one of those who frequented the draw- ing-rooms of the literary patrons of his time. Whatever prestige his talents and extraordinary scholarship gained for him, was not due to his own forwardness in urging their claims for reward. He was of a retiring disposition, and only natural talents of the highest calibre aided by constant painstaking efforts in poetry, made his appeal for recogni- tion irresistible. Whether or not, as an undergraduate, he had any special vocational aim, is not known. Certain it is, however, that the publication of George Herbert's Temple in 1634, de- 38 I GNA TIAN termined Crashaw's poetical career. Shortly after the ap- pearance of the Temple, he published his Epigrarnmata Sacra, a collection of epigrams, as he calls them, dealing with events in the life of our Lord. One of these contains a memorable line which has reference to the miracle wrought at the marriage-feast of Cana- Lympha pudica Deum vidit et erubuitf' The modest water saw its God and blushed. Probably no other single verse has contributed so much to the fame of its author, as that above quoted, has to the fame of Crashaw. Following the Epigrammata Sacra, Crashaw published his Steps to the Temple, which con- tains among a number of other good poems, a Paraphrase on the XXIII Psalm, which was esteemed by Pope as a poem of rare beauty. The opening lines may perhaps con- vey a fair impression of the merits of the entire work: I-Iappy me! O Happy Sheepe! Whom my God vouchsafes to keepeg Even my God, even I-Ie it is That points me to these ways of blisseg On whose pastures, cheerful spring, All the yeare doth sit and sing, And rejoicing smiles to see Their green backs weare his liverie: Pleasure sings my soul to rest, Plentie weares me at her brestf' Another of these poems, Sospetto D'I-Ierode, a trans- lation from the Italian of Marini, at times rivals the Miltonic grandeur of Paradise Lost. But unfortunately, this more than any other of his poems, exposes the great defect of Crashaw. Literary taste from the time of Elizabeth, almost to the Classical Renaissance towards the close of the Sev- enteenth century, was vitiated by the prevalent use of con- ceits, which are quaint or extravagant notions expressed in RICHARD CRASHAW 39 mystical language. The poets of this period, of whom Crashaw is a type, form the metaphysical school, and as Saintsbury in his History of English Literature remarks, They were always trying to express something behind the obvious first sense and suggestion of a subject. On ac- count of Crashaw's common use of these conceits in his translation from Marini, a conceited poem was afterwards said to be written in stilo Marinescof' Before passing any strictures on the use of these conceits, which we are apt to find pervading in greater or less degree almost all of Crashaw's poems, we should consider that the custom of the age not only permitted, but even approved, of such a style. However the poet cannot be completely vindicated on this score. In 1637, Crashaw was elected to a Fellowship at Peter- house, Cambridge, and during the next seven years was, for the most part, engaged in the composition of devotional poetry. When, in 1644, the Royal Commissioners, under the Earl of Manchester visited Cambridge, he together with fifty-five others refused to take the covenant, and was, as a result, ejected from the University. The young poet re- paired to Paris, and little is known of his life in the French capital, save that he was converted to the Catholic Faith, and in 1646 was found by the poet Cowley in hard financial straits. Cowley, through the mediation of Henrietta Maria, obtained for him the position of secretary to Cardinal Pa- lotta, and his duties in this capacity necessitated his going to Rome. His Delights of the Muses, printed in 1648, is a col- lection of poems, written on various occasions. By far the most noteworthy of these is one entitled Musick's Duell, which, for passionate ardor, poetical fancy and versatility of diction, surpasses everything else the poet has written. It is indeed an exquisite piece of artistry, the burden of which is a contest between a musician and a nightingale. 40 IGNATIAN The musician, playing on his lute, is overheard by the nightingale, hidden in a nearby tree. There she stood list'ning and did entertaine The music's soft report, and mold the same In her owne murmures, that whatever mood His curious fingers lent, her voyce made good. The man perceiv'd his Rivall and her Art, Dispos'd to give the light-foot Lady sport Awakes his Lute, and 'gainst the fight to come Informes it, in a sweet Praeludium Of closer straines, and ere the warre begin, He lightly skirmishes on every string Charg'd with a iiying touchg and straightway she Carves out her dainty voyce as readily. . . - . . . . To let him know By that shrill taste, she could do something too. The musician strives with all his powers to elaborate something too difficult for his rival to reproduce, but every- where she meets art with art. Sometimes as if in doubt Not perfect yet and fearing to be out She trayles her plaintiff ditty in one long spun note. From the grumbling bass to the high-perched treble, she re-echoes the sweet melody of the lute. Wrought up to a state of ecstacy, She ope's the floodgate and lets loose a tide Of streaming sweetnesse, which in state doth ride On the waved backe of every swelling straine, Rising and falling in a pompous traine, Her little soul is ravishtg and so poured Into loose extasies that she is plac't Above herselfe, Musick's Enthusiast. RICHARD CRASHAW 41 The musician is now enraged, for he has no further re- sources in his art to outdo his rival. But not in vain does he speak to his lute- Tune a song of victory to me Or to thyself, sing thine own obsequyf' And again he begins to play. Every smooth turn, every delicious stroke Gives life to some new grace, thus doth h' invoke Sweetnessse by all her names. The strings, as if conscious of his warning, respond to every touch, and at length with one grand stream of har- mony, he stops to hear the echo. But none is forthcoming. Alas! in vain, for while Csweet soulj she tries To measure all those wild diversities She fails, and failing, grieves, and grieving, dies, She dies: and leaves her life the victor's prize. Falling upon his lute-O fit to have CThat lived so sweetlyj dead, so sweet a grave. However great may be the readeris prepossessions to the exquisite lyrics of Shelly, he cannot fail to admire the varied beauties, the tender emotions and strong passions at once so happily blended in Musick's Duellf' He may even falter in his devotion to England's premier lyricist. Incidentally we might notice the striking similarity and strong contrast which the two poets present. Both were enthusiastic in the pursuit of truth. Crashaw was drawn to religion-Shelly sought it at the other pole. The former conservatively adhered to faith as his guide-the latter re- garded unaided reason as self-sufficient. The poetical sub- jects of the one are for the most part pagan-those of the other, eminently Christian. But in most other respects, a surprising similarity obtains. Especially is this true of their poems. The strong and deep passion and highly poetic 42 IGNATIAN diction of the Flaming Heart are duplicated in Pro- metheus Unboundf' while the gorgeous imagery and tender emotions of Musick's Duelll' are counterpoised in The Sensitive Plant, The Cloud and The Skylark. Finally, both are alike distinguished for their subtlety of thought, which unhappily, but too often, render them unintelligible. Crashaw, while secretary to Cardinal Palotta, became in- volved in difficulties with other members of the prelateis retinue. To avoid the embarassment which a further exist- ence of these circumstances would entail, he was made canon of the Church of Loretto. About 1649, was published Carmen Deo Nostro, which contains several Latin and English poems. Of the latter, The Flaming Heart, The Weeper, New Year's Day, To the Countess of Den- bigh and A Hymn to the Name and Honor of the Admir- able St. Teresa, are perhaps the best. The first and last mentioned of these poems show the potent influences which the writings of the Carmelite Foundress exercised over the poet's mind. He dedicated the hymn to the admirable St. Teresa, a woman of angelical height of speculation, for mas- culine courage of performance, more than a woman, who yet a child, outran maturity, and durst plot a martyrdom. His passion fervor in contemplating the seraphic saint is expressed in the Flaming Heart, which is characterized, as Saintsbury puts it, by an ever growing and glowing splendor of sentiment and diction which culminates in the most unerring explosion of passionate feeling to be found in English, perhaps in all poetry. O thou undaunted daughter of desires! all thy dOur Of Lights and Fires, all the eagle in thee, all the dove, all thy lives and deaths of love, thy large draughts of intellectual day, And by thy thirsts of love more large than theyg By all thy brim-filled Bowles of Herce desire, By thy last morning's draught of liquid lireg By By By BY RICHARD CRASHAW 43 By the full kingdome of that finall kisse That seiz'd thy parting Soul, and seal'd thee his, By all the heav'ns thou hast in him CFair sister of the Seraphimlj By all of Him we have in Thee, Leave nothing of myself in me. Let me so read thy life, that I Unto all life of mine may dy. In 1650, Crashaw was taken sick with fever and died. As a man, he was generous, noble and true to his convic- tions. His place in the front rank of English lyricists is secure. Well did Cowley, his friend and benefactor, write, in honoring him in one of the best elegies in the language: Poet and Saint, to thee alone are given, The two most sacred names in Earth and Heaven.

Sfpertarleh Gum LTI-IOUGI-I I have never seen a feline so optically disposed I once witnessed its M equivalent in the experiments of. a learned Avg? professor of zoology at the University in Berkeley. Cn the lawn before the build- i 'X ing of Biology, surrounded by a thicket of beautiful flowers, the professor stood with a young assistant, while at their feet a black tomcat peacefully rubbed about in contentment. To say the least the small animal was inclined to be lively, the life and strength that swept through its muscles, when it occasionally crouched in anticipation of a probable victim, was full evidence of this, and the recklessness and boldness of the life he led with other young incorrigibles showed forth in his stately Walk. The professor now entered on his work seriously. From his pocket he took a pair of strong spectacles and while puss rather amazedly and in stupefaction allowed his friend to adjust them about his ears, my curiosity to see the effect of the lenses on the cat become greater. Having fixed the glasses on, probably to find the results of feline illusions if their vision became crossed or incorrect, the professor stepped back and viewed his work with satis- faction. Meanwhile Tom appeared completely dum- founded at the sudden change of the appearance of the World in general. With his black fur without a quiver, he stood rigid- staring in consternation at the blades of grass through the spectacles. It was not long before the first shock of sur- prise was over, the power of locomotion seemed to slowly return to him. First he put one foot feebly forward, then faltering, he began to move, walking as if the earth was SPECTACLED TOM 45 swaying under him, and as he began to progress a little faster his movements developed into a rolling stagger, The efforts Tom made to keep straight as he rolled from side to side of the lawn were pitiful, he doubtless considered himself in a bad condition and unable to get home, the bushes and trees were unrecognizable, everything was double. Every now and then he stopped and settled himself on his truant legs, then started off again, but as to ever getting to where he intended, he seemed always to arrive at the wrong spot. While poor Tom's endeavors as a wandering variable in search of its limit, at times brought forth smiles from the professor, he and his assistant were assiduously writing down notes, the results of the experiment that was going on. Suddenly, to the black little animal's surprise, half a dozen butterflies appeared to settle down before him. His body lengthened, his stomach rubbed the grass, his tail straightened and twisted from side to side, and his head protruded, with the deceiving spectacles far out on his nose, with a pounce his paws came together, but to his great amazement, he landed a foot away from the beautiful insect that fluttered gracefully into the air. Tom began to feel hurt, his feelings were not being thought of, it was hard for a handsome young blade like him to suddenly turn cross-eyed, and as these thoughts passed through the forlorn and disgusted cat, his feline ire slowly rose to the occasion. Bristling up his black fur he ran off, but alas for his determination, the glasses were so arranged that though the eyes were crossed, the vision led more or less to the left, and forthwith Tom began a race in varying circles on the green sward before us. Around and around he went under the trees and bushes, always thinking himself afar off, but nevertheless the spec- tacles still hurt his eyes and the quicker he ran the lower 46 IGNATIAN and lower his head descended towards the ground. Thus running at a great speed, his nose barely touching the earth, it was no wonder that that nasal organ suffered a catas- trophe. His head had descended a little further for the last time, his nose scraped and hit the ground and with a fling of his black paws Tom turned a complete somersault. For a mo- ment he lay still, too stupefied to realize what had happened, then with a caterwaul he sprang up and bounded away, his tail stuck straight out behind him, while where he had lain, the shattered portions of the misleading spectacles reposed.

McCann. dnternatinnal Arhitratinn it NTERNATIONAL arbitration is but the ,M application, on a universal basis, of a sys- V XP 'i ii tem which has proved itself successful from Q93 32 - MQ? the earliest days of history, for the settle- ment of personal disputes, and has broad- -' - - 1 X , . . . ened with time to meet the requirements of tx-wh interstate conditions. It arrives at its climax in the Supreme Court of the United States of America, and the Chief Justice of that body stands in a very similar relation to the States of the Union as would the presiding officer of an Interna- tional Tribunal to the nations of the world. History is witness to the fact that an impartial judge always pronounces with the most marked success upon the disputes of nations. The illustrious Roman Pontiffs have settled international controversies in every age, and tem- poral monarchs have not infrequently done excellent service in the same way. The King of Prussia in 1843 acted as arbitrator between England and France. Again in the case of the General Armstrongu privateer, between the United States and Portugal, the President of the French Republic Cvvho was afterwards the Emperor Napoleonj acted as arbitrator. But the principles of arbitration have met their most brilliant success when applied by tribunals consisting of a number of judges. Such councils have been factors of the highest value in preserving the peace of the English-spealv ing world. It is sufficient to recall the settlement of the Alabama claims by the Geneva Convention in 1872. The five arbitrators were appointed by England, the United States, the Swiss Republic, the King of Italy and the Em- peror of Brazil. Lord Chief Justice Cockburn of England was the only dissentient when the award was made in favor 43 IGNATIAN of the United States. The settlement of the Fishery dis- putes is still fresh in the memory. Thus in many instances Arbitration has irradiated some of the darkest crises of our diplomacy. Six countries have given full recognition to the benefi- cent influence of arbitration. They are the Republics of Chile and Argentine and the kingdoms of Denmark, Hol- land, Sweden and Norway. To the two above mentioned admirable Republics of South America belongs the credit of first recognizing the value of arbitration. They arbitrate all disputes arising between them and to commemorate the settlement of the boundary dispute, that more than once, says the late Jose Ignacio Rodriguez of the Bureau of American Republics, endangered their mutual peace, they erected on the summit of the Andes at 14,000 feet above the level of the sea, an image of Our Saviour, His right hand raised as if blessing the world. Denmark and the Netherlands also opened the twentieth century by declaring the reign of peace between therng the former country also concluded treaties of arbitration with Italy and Portugal. Sweden and Norway in 1905 concluded treaties for the arbitration of all questions between them, and a general treaty by which all questions not involving independence, integrity, or vital interests were submitted to The Hague Tribunal. Eminent authorities have pointed out that the Scandinavians have practically adopted uni- versal arbitration as their court of last resort. And can we look forward hopefully to a similar condi- tion in the English speaking world? We certainly can unless the United States and England are parties to a game of deception, tactful insincerity and concealed hostility, un- precedented in the history of the human race. In April, 1896, and in january, 1904, two conferences on International Arbitration were held at Washington with the main pur- INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION 49 pose of conciliating the two greatest English speaking na- tions. The one in 1896 was consequent upon the crisis in the Venezuelan situation, a crisis which came in December, 1895. The conference was calculated to counteract the jingoism of which the friction was the occasion or rather the pretext. In Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Washington, New Orleans, St. Paul, San Francisco, and St. Louis, public-minded citizens came together to answer the sentiments of England, as expressed by such representative men as Mr. Gladstone, Lord Rosebery and Cardinal Vaughn. Washington's Birthday was especially replete with fraternal sentiment. The conference at Washington, meeting on the afternoon of April 22nd and continuing until the evening of the next day, included three hundred members, representing thirty- six States and one territory. It was at this conference that President Eliot characterized jingoism as the most abject copy conceivable of a pernicious foreign idea. This con- ference expressed the demand of the greatest statesmen, churchmen and educators of America for a treaty referring to arbitration of all differences arising between the United States and England which could not be settled by regular diplomatic negotiations. But the Olney-Pauncefote treaty, despite the overwhelming sentiment of the people, failed to pass the Senate by the necessary two-thirds majority-the votes stood 43 to 26 in the treaty's favor. On January 12th, 1904, the second American Conference on International Arbitration met in Washington under the most favorable conditions. It had the same main object as the former conference, but that object has not to this day been accomplished. What an intolerable condition, when English boys and girls are taught in their schools to execrate Lord North and honor Washington and Franklin. No American ever put in writing more glowing sentiments concerning Wash- 50 IGNATIAN ington than those of John Richard Green, who was Libra- rian of Lambeth Palace, and Rector of St. Philip's Anglican Church, Stepney. Again Thomas Arnold speaks in his Manual of English Literature of Dr. Johnson's Taxation no Tyrannyfl in the following terms: This pamphlet Was written at the desire of the incapable and obstinate ministry of Lord North as a reply to the Resolutions and Address of the American Congress. This tirade against brave men for defending their liberties in the style of their English fore- fathers, shows how mischievously a great mind may be blinded by the indulgence of unexamined prejudices. There is no reason why arbitration between America and England should not be a near and hopeful issue. Under present conditions an agreement between these two coun- tries would mean the universal adoption of the system and we could freely direct the strength and valor of our youth and the wisdom of our sages to the upbuilding of noble in- stitutions and the conquest of every evil. But our opportunities of cooperation are not confined to England alone, or even to Europe. With the people of Asia we are entering closely into trade relations and time has proved, and will prove, that these relations are elevating to the Grientals without being degrading to us. With re- publics throughout the world we ought easily to negotiate treaties of arbitration, although as far back as 1883 our government would not approve the arbitration project formulated by the Swiss Federal Co'uncil. The sentiments of the Brazilian constitution with regard to war, the mutual agreement of Chile and Argentine, and above all, the steady decrease of internal strife, open up a vast field for concilia- tion in the Southern continent, especially now that the Bureau of American Republics is actively working for the moral unification of this hemisphere. The treaties pending with the great powers of Europe INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION 51 are almost certain of final ratification and we are at length assured that in the near future International Law will be rendered vitally a second and permanent judiciary.

J., from the Presidency of the College to the office of assistant pastor of St. Jo- FATHER SASIA- seph's Church, San Jose. The loss is felt not only by the faculty and students of the college, but also by the host of friends in whose midst he has so zealously labored. That his sterling qual- ities were recognized by his Superiors is evident when we revert to the fact that this was the second time he had been chosen President of the college, to say nothing of other important offices he has held. Father Sasia assumed the duties of President when the college was still staggering from the blow it received in the catastrophe of 1906. The outlook at best was discour- 54 IGNATIAN aging, but despite this, he succeeded in bringing order out of chaos, in restoring the institution to its former state of efficiency. Father Sasia has left for San Jose with the well wishes for success of the members of the college and his numerous friends. It is their sincere hope that his labors in his new Held will be as successful as those he has terminated in the Presidency of St. Ignatius College. The new Father President of the college, Rev. Albert Trivelli, S. I., is preceded by a reputation which singles him out as one of the most prominent OUR PRESIDENT. Jesuits in this Province. For years past he has devoted his time and en- ergy to missionary labors in the rising Northwest. His latest work was the erection of a church and high school building in Missoula, Montana, where he was stationed as Superior. The high school was in a Hourishing condition when he left it to take upon his shoulders his present onerous duties. During the short time he has been Presi- dent, Father Trivelli has endeared himself to the boys by his keen interest in their endeavors, his quick apprecia- tion of their little difficulties and his ready sanction of their cherished undertakings. We look forward to years of hap- piness and success with the destiny of St. Ignatius College in the hands of Father Trivelli. Among the many changes in the faculty this session, one especially concerns the IGNATIAN, viz., the removal of our Director, Mr. Joseph A. Sullivan, MR- SULLIVAN- S. J., who has gone to Woodstock, Md., to complete his studies for the Priest- hood. Mr. Sullivan's six years in the college were six years of conscientious effort and untiring labor for the welfare of the students and the success of their undertak- EDITORIAL 55 ings. Theirgdramatics, debates and athletics owe almost wholly to him whatever success they attained while under his charge. Many times he worked alone without an appreciable support from those in whose interest he labored. The IGNATIAN takes this opportunity of voicing the sen- timents of the entire Student Body. We wish him every success in his future undertakings and we assure him that he will always have a warm place in the hearts of those for whom he labored so earnestly. Christmas being again at hand, the IGNATIAN sees fit to call attention to an abuse of that festival which each year tends more and more to rob it of its CHRISTMAS- sweetly Christian character and to make of it a mere pagan holiday. When the people of the Middle Ages inaugurated the custom of exchanging presents at Christmas time they did so- because they thought that such presents would be most suggestive tokens of good-will and good-will is the spirit of Christmas. For centuries the kindly exchange of Christmas gifts continued in the spirit which animated the originators of the custom, and the giving and sending was a great stim- ulus to good feeling among men. Of late, however, a new spirit of Christmas has sprung up-a spirit of rejoicing, not because it is the day on which Christ was born, but because it is a day on which the world chooses to celebrate and display its new clothes and give presents to those likely to reciprocate in kind. Even children have come to regard Christmas as but a day of gifts and the deeper significance of the festival is almost entirely lost. A greater devotion to the real Christmas and a more Christian contempt for the empty shows which are but the signs of rejoicing, would do much to make this great feast of Christ's Nativity the sincere festival of Christianity. lnnmi nina The St. Ignatius Alumni Association, Hmiscendo utile dulcif' held its annual business meeting at the St. Germain on Thurs- day evening, Sept. 28, 1911. After the election of officers for the coming session, the business of greatest importance was the Scholarship-a gift to f'Alma Mater by her beloved Alumni. At a previous meeting the question of establishing this Scholarship had already been discussed and determined. In fact, this year it has already been awarded to Warren W. Brown, 'l5. The main point at issue was the nameg though some wished it known as the Alumni Scholarship, yet when it was proposed to distinguish this Scholarship by a name, dear to every Alumnus of St. Ignatius College-that of the late Rev. Fr. Maraschi, S. J.-consent was unanimous. This gift, donated by our generous graduates, will therefore be styled the Maraschi Scholarship. , I dare say that not one of the many students of the present College remembers Father Maraschi, who with his kindly smile and cheering words, endeavored to win all hearts to the sweet service of his Master. But the Old Boys cannot for- get him. Forget him! Why, the memory of Father Maraschi is indelibly impressed upon the heart of every Alumnus who attended college from its first foundation to the year 1897, when this saintly Father calmly commended his soul into the merciful hands of His Father. How apt the title- Maraschi Scholarship -named after him who spent the best years of his long life in tenderly watch- ing over the growth of our College, until he saw her ho-nored and respected throughout the West. Truly we heartily con- gratulate the Alumnil' upon this happy choice, and promise to correspond fully with their generosity, ALUMNI NOTES 57 At the same meeting the following officers were elected: President, John T. Fogarty, '75, vice-president, Joseph A. Murphy, '01, secretary, John L. Whelan, '05, treasurer, Luke J. Flynn, '95. The meeting was also the occasion of the reception of new members. The following have been added to the Old Guard : Joseph R. Crowley, S. I., '05, John A. Lennon, S. I., '07, Adrian V. Buckley, '11, Francis P. Buckley, '11, Everett E. Carreras Ir., '11, John J. Casey, '11, Joseph F. Giannini, '11, William I. Hyland, '11, William A. Lafferty, '11, Peter L. O'Keeffe, '11, Robert D. Tobin, '11, The Annual Banquet was the last point discussed. It is to be held at the St. Francis Hotel, on Wednesday evening, November 22d, 1911. The committee of arrangements: Dr. A. H. Giannini, '94, Robert K. Ryan, '04, John L. Whelan, '05. Quite an honor has lately been conferred on an old Col- lege graduate. Governor Johnson has appointed Mr. Mat- thew I. Sullivan, LL. B., A. B., '76, a member of the '76 State Board of the Panama-Pacific Fair Commission. We need not assure the many friends of Mr. Sullivan that the Governor is most happy in his choice. We offer our distinguished Alumnus our heartiest congratulations. We take great pleasure in dwelling upon the fact that Edward F. O'Day, A. B., '00, for many years connected with the Evening Bulletin, is at present on the staff of Town '00 Talk. This pleasing editorial writer sprang into prom- inence in newspaper circles immediately after graduation, and without doubt his past success is the criterion of a glor- ious future. Stanislaus A. Riley, A. M., LL. B., A. B., '00, is another son of whom Alma Mater may justly be proud. During his college days a leader in the yard and in the class, he has '00 always shown those sterling qualities which praclaim the Hman. These have won for him not only success in Law, but also a high place in the Young Men's Iinstitute. 58 IGNA TIAN He is an enthusiastic member of Ignatian Council, and has been appointed to the office of District Deputy. Edgar O. McCann, A. M., M. E., A. B., '03, has lately returned from the East. A brilliant student while at College, he has just been graduated M. E. with high honors '03 from Columbia University. We join with all the Alumni in wishing him the greatest success in his profession. The friends of Leo I. Flanagan, M. D.,A. B.,'O6, will rejoice to hear that genial Leo has returned from Georgetown Uni- versity a full-fledged M. D. Shortly after his arrival, '06 he was offered a position as interne at St. Mary's Hospi- tal. This he gladly accepted and has already attained considerable success. To Dr. Leo we also wish the full meed of success. Grief weighed down many hearts when Death summoned from our midst Prof. John I. Montgomery, Ph. D., B. S., '79, an old and beloved Alumnus. He was ever a son to '79 whom Alma Mater looked with pride, and now with tear- dimmed eyes, she tells the story of his wonderful career, begun years ago under her gentle guidance. Many recall the days when the Father of Aviation studied the rudiments of Science at the old College on Market street. After a success- ful collegiate career he was graduated B. S. in '79, and on the completion of a post-graduate Scientific Course, M. S. in '80. As all are aware, he immediately entered his favorite field of labor, and successfully perfected himself in the science of theoretical and practical aeronautics. Victor Lougheed, in his authoritative work, Vehicles of the Air, styles Prof. Mont- gomery the Father of Aviation 3 whilst the Austrian Govern- ment in 1909 awarded a medal to the inventor as the first ALUMNI NOTES 59 man in the world to successfully master aerial navigation. Besides these, he has also received many other honors. For many years he has pursued his work quietly at Santa Clara. He has been connected with the College, and this year he was to preside over the newly established course of Aero- dynamics. Lately Prof. Montgomery was engaged in demon- strating his newest patent, known as the wing-warping process. Should this prove successful he would receive an immense sum from the White Automobile Company. The Professor and his assistant had made fifty-live flights, in all of which they had achieved signal success. Mr. Montgomery had ascended for the fifty-sixth time, when the machine was caught in a sharp eddy of wind and in an instant became unmanageable. The tail of the machine was thrown upward and the glider plunged toward the earth. Professor Montgomery was caught and crushed beneath the tangle of wreckage and broken wings. When taken from the wreckage the inventor was still con- scious. Fortified by the last rites of Holy Church, he calmly breathed his last three hours after the fatal fall. In union with all the members of the Alumni Association, the IGNATIAN extends to the bereaved widow of our fellow Alumnus its sympathy and prayers. fohn I. Schlappi. 7 xrhangea Thus far each of our exchanges hails from a different State. The Pacific Coast is well represented from Washing- ton, Oregon and our own California. Colorado, Texas, Min- nesota, Indiana and far-famed Connecticut have sent in the journals of some of the premier colleges of the nation. A sparkling sketch in the Notre Dame Scholastic of Oct. 21 depicts the character of Samuel Johnson, introducing him, both as the big, loud-mouthed, absent-minded intruder, which he seems at a fortuitous glance, and as the Alpha and Omega of literary criticism. The style of the essay is piquant and by its versatile devices sets us at table with the world's greater talker. In the Book Notes of the Yale Literary Magazine we find a favorable criticism of Antonio Fogazzaro's posthumous novel, Leila The writer leads up to the conclusion that enlightened Catholics will find this work particularly inter- esting by stating that Fogazzaro maintains the authority of the Roman Church while yet his viewpoint is wholly that of a Modernist. The late Signor Fogazzaro attempted an impossible task. Catholicism and so-called Modernism can never be conciliated. Their very names are opposed. En- lightened Catholics, whilst always seeking the advantages of modern scientific research, will never strive to adapt the truth, of which they are custodians, to the ephemeral fallacies of time. We are indebted to the following publications for the re- ceipt of their October issues: Gonzaga, Colorado School of Mines Magazine, The Notre Dame Scholastic, The University of Texas Maga- zine, St. john's University Record, The Redwood, The Yale Literary Magazine, the prototype college periodical, The Pacific Star, a handsome journal from Mt. Angel, Ore. William M. Queen. Qtnllegr nina Established over fifty years ago, the Sodality of the Immaculate Conception flourishes and brings forth precious fruits in plenty. It is ever dear to THE SODALITY the devoted sons of Mary among OF THE IMMACU- the present students of the College, LATE CONCEPTION- and what Alumnus does not look back with grateful heart to the days when, assembled with his fellows, he paid homage to the Immaculate Mother of God, and ensured for himself that signal protection he has since experienced amid the war- fare of life! The Sodality gives impetus and unction to our work in the classroom, with firm, yet gentle hand, it guides us safely amidst our sports, and sweetly inliuences every action of the day. In youth the Sodality keeps us pure and upright, so that in manhood we may be clean and honest citizens, and faithful sons of Holy Mother Church. Under the able direction of Rev. Maurice J. Joy, S. J., the membership of the Sodality has rapidly increased. This is attested not only by the members who attend the regular weekly meetings, but especially by the edifying spectacle presented by the Sodality on the fourth Sunday of the month-the day of the General Communion. The Sanctuary Society speaks for itself. As in the days of the Old College, the Sanctuary boy of St. Ignatius Church was a byword for reverent behavior THE ST- JOHN before the Most Holy, so the pres- BERCHMAN'S SANC- ent Society is still the proud pos- TUARY SOCIETY- sessor of this worthy reputation. What more edifying sight than that presented by the fifty-one members, clad in the splendid 62 IGNATIAN regalia of their office, assisting devoutly at the Solemn Func- tions of the Altar. And we note with gladness that the majority of the members are from the upper High School and College classes-young men happy to serve at the Altar of their God. The following are the officers for the present session: Director, Mr, Leo S. Simpson, S. Ig Prefect, Frank Less- mang First Assistant, Oliver Austing Second Assistant, Jos. Howardg Secretary, Jos. Noonang Censor, Paul Ahern, Treasurer, Paul Fitzgeraldg Vestry Prefects, Wallace Aus- tin, Albert Heney. The Loyola Science Academy has issued a neat little program of all the lectures, essays and papers that are being read during the present session. THE LOYOLA From it one can form a fair idea of SCIENCE ACADEMY- the deal of work that is being done by the members of the Society. The Academy is happy to have seen several of the men of 'll at its recent meetings. This is what we want. Keep up your connection with the Academy, for it is hoped that when better facilities shall have given us a larger science lecture hall, this little Academy will have developed into a Catholic Science Club of San Francisco, open to all interested in matters scientific, who may thus meet and discuss the trend of modern science in the light of correct Catholic philosophy. The oiiicers of the Academy for the present semester are: President, Mr. Zacheus I. Maher, S. 1.3 Vice-Presi- dent, Mr. Charles P. Knightsg Recording Secretary, Mr. Wensinger F. Mahoneyg Corresponding Secretary, Mr. Jo- seph D. Toohigg Treasurer, Mr. Robert H. Heaney. COLLEGE NOTES 63 Success, ever eager to crown worthy efforts, has un- doubtedly smiled upon the Senior Philhistorians. She has especially favored them in their new THE SENIOR PHIL- President, the Rev. Dionysius Ma- HISTORIAN DE- hony, S. J. As all are aware, this BATING SOCIETY- able speaker has had vast personal experience in the field of eloquence, and in the old Society before the great disaster, trained many Alumni to master the weapons of oratory. A bright prospect, then, lies before the present Society, An efficient Director, and members thoroughly alive to the necessity of oratory at the present day, and zealous to attain success in every branch of public speaking-what is there still to be desired? Open-house speaking is distinctly encour- aged, and followed up with keen enthusiasm. As a result many members are fast acquiring that facility in the art of extemporaneous speaking, which in later years will stand them in good stead in their social and political life. The topics discussed lend interest to the regular meeting. These are for the most part affairs of the moment, and especially leading ethical problems of the day. During the early part of the semester a committee was appointed by the President to arrange a debate with Santa Clara College. The proposition was enthusiastically sec- onded by the House, and the first intercollegiate debate be- tween the rival Colleges will be held in the near future. The following officers were elected for 1911 : Vice-Pres- ident, W. Mahonyg Recording Secretary, H. Heaneyg Cor- responding Secretary, C. H. Caulfield, Treasurer, R. L. Chambers, Censor, R. C. Queen, Librarian, R. T. Feely. A debate was held on the evening of November 24th under the auspices of the Golden Gate Council of the Y. M. I., in which the Junior and Senior classes of the Society participated. The subject for discussion was: Resolved, that President Taft acted wisely in vetoing the Wool Bill. 64 IGNATIAN First affirmative, C. Harold Caulfield, '13, second affirma- tive, Robert L. Chambers, '13, first negative, Richard C. Queen, '12, second negative, Wensinger Mahoney, '12, The junior Class won the debate. The High School is by no means behind the College in appreciating and putting into practice Cicero's eulogy of Literature. Whilst the great Roman THE JUNIOR PHIL- found in poetry a refreshing rest after HISTORIAN DE- the din of the Forum, the High BATING SOCIETY. School student seeks in the regular meeting of the Junior Philhistorian Debating Society an agreeable change from the dull monot- ony of the classroom. The Society numbers thirty-two members, all ardent in the pursuit of Eloquence. From the progress exhibited during the past semester we are as- sured that the coming half-term will be most successful. The debates held thus far have been full of intense interest, and have been followed up keenly by the whole House. The officers for 1911: President, Mr. T. J. Flaherty, S. J., Vice-President, Harold C. Ring, Recording Secretary, James McHugh, Corresponding Secretary, Harry Flood, Treasurer, Paul T. Ahern, Librarian, Stanley Nolan, Ser- geant-at-Arms, Arthur Crowley, Reporter, Wm. Cole. The meetings of the Association held during the past months have been characterized by a spirit that deserves great praise. Never before has so much loy- ASSOCIATED alty and devotion to dear S. I. C. been STUDENTS- shown. The managers and captains of the various teams in their addresses to the stu- dent body have succeeded in making us feel either elated or ashamed, as circumstances required. The rallies all spell enthusiasm, enthusiasm, enthusiasm. COLLEGE NOTES 65 Great .credit is due to our worthy President, Frank de Andreis, who has not only planned a number of neces- sary changes and improvements, but has carried his plans to their completion. His speeches on college spirit have been marked by an irresistible eamestness and sincerity, while his congenial and forceful personality make him an ideal presiding officer. The results of the election for this semester follow: President, Francis I. de Andreisg Vice-President, Charles P. Knightsg Secretary, C. Harold Caulfield, Treasurer, H.

To provide suitable grounds for the latter sport, we have spared no ex- pense in our recent improvements. The eastern and western grandstands have been swung around from their oblique positions so as to run parallel to each other, and have been moved back to the Parker avenue and Stanyan street fences respectively. The fence behind home-plate has been re- moved and the field filled in almost to Turk street. Thus we have a maximum rugby field-110 yards in length, with 25 yards behind each set of goal-posts, by 75 yards in width, with 17 yards outside each touch-line. On the southern side of the stadium, bleachers have been built to accommo- date 2000 spectators, thus making the total seating capacity 5000. It is our intention to put in a cinder track outside the rugby field. We feel proud to assert that our stadium will be the very best in San Francisco. James I. Harrington. 3 Plump by Bushnell Aihlrtirrf RUGBY. Football has been once again placed on our athletic cal- endar and although we were not able to celebrate its return by putting a representative varsity team on the field, we entered a High School team in the Academic Athletic League. Considering the number of novices who formed the nucleus of the team, their work was gratifying. Their first game was with the San Rafael Union High School on Thursday, Sept. 14th. At the end of the game we were the victors, with 25 points to our credit and San Rafael was scoreless. Being the first game of the season it was devoid of any sensational plays which generally thrill a spectator at a Rugby game. The team on the Whole played well and nearly every man had a hand in the scoring. On October 5th we played our initial contest in the Aca- demic Athletic League, Cogswell High being our opponents. Although we were on the short end of an 18-6 score, still that does not detract from the great showing which the team made. It was a stubbornly-contested game from be- ginning to end and a wider knowledge of Rugby would have enabled us to tie the score on numerous occasions in the last half. Our forwards took the ball across our opponents' line more than once, only to be called back by the referee for off side plays. Our two trys were made by Austin and Sullivan. Harrigan failed to convert them at difficult angles. The game was featured by the long runs of Evans and Mc- Elearney, our speedy wings, and Flood's long kicks to touch. The forwards as a whole played a hard fighting game. Gus- tin and Sullivan and Collins were the stars. Captain Keat- ing was handicapped by a wrenched ankle and though hardly able to walk was conspicuous in the team's defensive work. 68 IGNATIAN On October 19th we met Mission in the second game of the sub-league series. Although the outcome was 16-6 against us we showed a marked improvement in team work. Captain Keating's injured ankle was again sound, which enabled him to open up the play to his backs, and they in general played better ball. Our scores came in the first half, Noonan and Collins being responsible for them. Mission came back with a rush and at the end of the first half they were leading by the score of 10-6. No more points were made until the last few minutes of play. Then Mission broke through our defense, which was weakened by the loss of O'Shea, our star forward, who had to leave the game on account of an injury. Captain Keating, Evans, Flood, R. Noonan and McElearney were the shining lights in the back field, while J. Noonan, Collins, O'Shea and Crooks played a great game in the forward division. J. Sullivan, the big forward, was out of the game on account of injuries, and his loss naturally weakened the scrum. On Saturday, Qctober 28th, we played our third game in the Academic League, our opponents being Lowell High School. The score Was' 3 to 3. Lowell was the first to score, one of her men marking a kick on our 25-yard line, which resulted ultimately in a goal from the field. From then on the play kept going up and down the field. To- wards the last part our forwards dribbled down towards the opponents' goal and Captain Keating by a beautiful run carried the ball to their five-yard line. just as a score seemed imminent the whistle blew for half time. In the second half we scored our points, J. Noonan picking the ball up in the loose and going over for a try near the touch line. After this the ball was continually in Lowell's territory, our for- wards having the better of the argument. Lowell was saved many times by Ransohoff's long kicks, but the ball was al- ways brought back to their 25-yard line by Flood's equally long ones. The game ended with the ball on Lowell's 20- ATHLETICS 69 yard line. Our team in general showed a vast improvement, both in team-work and ginger, and while mentioning the latter a word of praise must be said for the student body who were all at the game and whose gingery rooting helped the team to a great extent. The forwards played a great game, the most conspicuous amongst them being J. Noonan, Collins, Austin and Hickey, while Captain Keating, Evans, McElearney and Flood played great ball in the backfield. On Wednesday, October Sth, we played Lick High School in our last scheduled game of the Academic League, and this also resulted in a tie, neither team being able to score. In fact it was the best game of our season. The ball kept traveling. continually from one end of the field to the other during the first half, with apparently no advantage to either side. It was principally a forward's game, with the ad- vantage leaning a little towards our pack, both in dribbling and in the lineouts. In the backiield our men were easily the best, both in passing and defense, and we used the cross kick to advantage several times, from Flood to Evans. I. Noonan, Austin, Hickey and Collins played their usual stel- lar game in the forward division, while Captain Keating's passing and running were excellent. Evans, McElearney and Crowley featured in long runs, and Flood's long kicks and tackling were also features. All in all the Rugby season was quite successful. And this success is due in great measure to Coach Thomas B. Sheehan. Too much credit cannot be given him for the way in which he developed the raw material placed in his hands. He worked very hard on his Rugby novices, patiently bear- ing their inevitable blunders, prudently praising their excel- lent plays and gently reproving their occasional failures to correspond with his untiring efforts to train them. f'Tom- mie was very popular with'the boys and they worked well for him. The Student Body as a unit tenders him a heartfelt vote of thanks. 70 IGNATIAN BASKETBALL. Although the team will not begin its schedule of games until after this has gone to press, still a few lines on the prospects of a winning team will hardly be out of place. The Varsity will practically be a veteran team, five of last year's players having returned to school. The line-up will practically be the same as last year's, with the exception of center, which is left open by the loss of our crack center, Vin Butler. For guards we have our classy veteran, Charley Knights, and he is due to improve on his last year's show- ing. We will have Mart Keating as his running mate and we all know what he is capable of doing. With Noonan acting as an understudy we have no cause for anxiety in that section. For forwards we have Evans and Flood, also vets from last year. Evans has been improving steadily and is due for his best year. Then 'LBud McGrath is another understudy in the forward line and a glimpse at last year's High School record will show his value, so 'Hnuff ced. Center is the only position that is not filled as yet. The candidates are all working hard for the place, so all in all we should have a good year. The High School team looks fine this year, all its mem- bers being veterans. VVith their year of experience they ought to make things hum in the Academic Athletic League. The line-up will probably be: Forwards, Evans and Mc- Grathg center, Floodg guards, Keating and Noonan, subs, Foster, W. Fottrell, Harrigan and R. Noonan. Robert f. Flood.

In the year 1858 it was deemed necessary for the Cath- olic people of the Archdiocese of San Francisco to have a paper which would protect them from the onslaughts made from time to time by the enemies of Catholi- cism.

Now it asks your co-operation to continue on in the great cause it represents. By co-operation we mean subscribing for it. Should you already be a subscriber we ask you to try and get others to follow your good example. Tell your friends that 82.50 will pay for one yea.r's sub- scription.
