Raymond H all. igearii earninga True happiness is not the growth of earth, The soil is fruitless if you seek it there: 'Tis an exotic of celestial birth, And never blooms but in celestial air. Sweet plant of paraddiseg its seeds are sown In here and there a breast of heavenly mould, It rises slow, and buds, but ne'er was known To blossom here-the climate is too cold. Whilst wandering along the path, we pass over a bleak and dreary desert, imposing in the simple grandeur, yet far more desolate and uninviting than Sahara's torrid waste. Ahead in the dim distance a beautiful spot is seen wherein everything to be desired is found, the home of the one great treasure death offers to mankind-the abode of perfect happi- ness. Hastening our steps we near the spot only to find that it has faded from view, reappearing far off on the edge of the horizon as before. Once more do we push forward with quickened pace 5 once more are we met with the repetition of the seemingly magical disappearance. Over and over again do we seek this entrancing spot, yet never are we brought to a realiza- tion that what we strive to gain is but a mirage, magnificent yet unreal. Thus is it in life, the mirage of perfect happi- ness ever beckoning us on., Yet while it is but a mirage in this life, in the life to come a transformation takes place and it assumes a definite form. Here it is found to be but a mockery, there a reality, here a thing of fancy, there an entrancing fact. Within the soul of every human being there exists a cer- tain craving for perfect happiness, an inborn, unceasing de- sire, before which all worldly things are like chaff swept be- fore the wind. In the lower type of creatures 'we find that once their cravings are satisfied, contentment is theirs. This, however, is not true of man. In him there is a continual HEART YEARNINGS 7 longing for a perfect state of peace, a lasting hope of eternal happiness, his every thought, word and action tending to bring him nearer to this goal. To him true happiness is the one great end, not mere pleasure, but happiness in an unalloyed state, devoid of misery, freed from anxiety, unrest and the weariness of life. Emperors seek it as does the laborer of the field-the beggar sitting in his hovel and the rich man in his palace-the savage in his pathless waste and the pampered social favorite in the city. Youth is fraught with promise, with hopes, the fruit of which are disenchantment. Ambition whispers and conjures up the day when honor, wealth and earthly pleasures shall be possessed in abundance, giving promise of perfect happiness to be found through these means. But what a rude awaken- ing awaits these fond hopes? The once gorgeously tinted dreams give place to the hard realities of life. Even though after many years of ceaseless toil some deem themselves fortunate by reason of their attainment of riches and position, still is there something lacking. They have seemingly at last grasped the cup of happiness only to find it made bitter by the dregs it holds. Successful in numerousicampaigns, with half of Europe bowing before his throne, Napoleon still sought for more power, only to lose all and die an exile. He sought perfect happiness in life, but it eluded his grasp. Elba and Ver- sailles, what a contrast! The tears of Alexander shed on the realization that no more worlds were his to conquer, and the wonderful yet unsatisfying knowledge of Solomon evi- dence the same unpalatable truth. Colton has said: Anthony sought for happiness in love, Brutus in glory, Caesar in dominion, the first found disgrace, the second disgust, the last ingratitude, and each destruction. From the foregoing we can clearly see that man is for- ever seeking perfect happiness and therefore the question naturally arises: how can he attain this, the one great object of life? Can earthly possessions, bringing with them all material goods, appease the yearnings of his heart? Wealth, 8 JGNA TIAN pleasure and honor-these are the ambitious man's earthly goal. Let us enquire into the nature of each and see if on their attainment perfect happiness ensues. Question mankind in general in regard as to which of the three above mentioned material goods constitutes the foundation of happiness and the answer will most likely be- wealth g pleasure, honor, and even life itself become sacri- ficial gifts in the amassing of wealth. And for what reason? Surely not for the gaining of peace, if we would believe the words of those upon whom it has smiled and who testify that riches are a hindrance rather than an instrument useful in the attainment of happiness. 'Wealth is but a means to an end, an object by which our natural physical wants are satisfied. When used with mod- eration it is a blessingg when but an instrument of over- indulgence, it becomes a curse. As Cicero says: Nothing is greater proof of a mean and grovelling disposition than to be fond of riches, while nothing is more noble and exalted than to despise money if thou hast it not, and if thou hast it to employ it in acts of beneficence and liberalityf' Closely akin to wealth is avarice, even as father and child. Wealth begets avariceg avarice destroys what peace the mind has formerly possessed. A man avaricious in nature is for- ever seeking to attain a greater amount of wealth. The unrest caused by this desire, together with the fear that what he has hoarded already may be lost, renders happiness and contentment impossible. On all sides we see men corrupt and unscrupulous yet rich in worldly wealth, thereby teaching us that riches cannot always be recognized as a measure of virtue, but frequently rather the contrary. Would that we could see behind the mask magnificence wears before its admirers of wealth, and read the abiding thoughts of its possessors. Then could we realize more fully its utter futility as a means to perfect happiness. V HEART YEARNINGS 9 Wealth has been the undermining influence by which man and even nations have fallen. Yet great as has been the havoc wrought by wealth, greater by far has been that worked by sensual pleasures. Rome, the greatest of all ancient Empires, fell through this means, while the present decline of many modern nations may be attributed to the same cause. - The quest after perfect happiness should raise us above things material, should give us higher ideals, and nobler thoughts. Yet how far different does this gratification of bodily pleasures affect us. Man cannot act against the dic- tates of his conscience without suffering anguish, without realizing his humiliation and his lack of moral strength, his sin. Vice not only produces suffering spiritually, but physi- cally as well. The body, though strong and robust, cannot withstand the assaults by this sin any more than can an ancient fortification the modern projectile. In yielding man falls to a plane as low, and in some cases lower, than that of the dumb brutes. Is this the means by which to attain perfect happiness? Is this the method to be employed so that the eternal craving may find satisfaction? Gaze upon the broken bodies of these who have become the slaves of this apalling vice and an answer will be found. Who among men has not sought after honor in some form or another, at some stage of life. The desire to attain honor is, in the words of Rev. W. Kelley, one of the most powerful of human instincts. We seek to gain the commendation and praise of our fellow creatures and in this we find enjoyment and satisfaction 5 yet honor considered either as the knowledge others have of our good qualitiesg or the outward manifestation of this knowledge, cannot give perfect happiness. Honor cannot add one whit of perfection to our intellect or our will. It is but an earthly gift, bestowed by a fickle hand, bringing with it an uncertain period of possession. To-day one may be acclaimed by all, to-morrow 10 IGNATIAN some one seemingly more worthy of recognition may appear to obscure the former's worth. Noble souls have lived and died in obscurity, whether through their own modesty or through the blindness of humanity. Ignoble men have received the plaudits of the mob and their names have become household words, though their lives have been unworthy and their ideals low. Placed upon the pinnacle of fame, man still seeks to attain a wider recog- nition. Contentment is not his. Further quest and the ac- companying fear of failure are strangely inconsistent with that peace of mind which perfect happiness should bring. Far better is it to have peace and contentment in this life than honor, bringing with it too often selfishness and the envy of small minds. Thus can be seen the failure of earthly gifts to bring true happiness. Perfect happiness, as we know, is that condition of the soul in which every good is possessed, every evil ex- cluded, and there is present the conviction that that condition shall be enduring. From a consideration of this definition the faults and shortcomings of riches, honor and pleasure are self-evident. All leave in their wake marks of pain upon the heart. The pleasures of the earth are imperfect, are not conducive to the highest ideals or safeguards from suffering. We labor for many years in the pursuit of wealth, yet in one instant we lose all in the advent of death. Well can we ex- claim as did Solomon of old: Vanity of Vanities, and all is vanity. Life after all is but a turbulent ocean upon which we are tossed as a tiny craft in the teeth of a mighty gale. As long as we are upon the earth there is a continual warfare between our lower and higher natures. The passions, ever rebellious, seek to lead us to ignore the dictates of conscience, make the soul subservient to the body and keep the heart in a constant state of disorder. Endlessly seeking for a greater share of good things we go through life. We gain the object of our desire, but once gained, fascination gives place to un- HEART YEARNINGS 11 rest and once again we resume the quest. And so on through our entire span of existence come desire, success, discontent. Those three words, small in themselves, easily understood, form the impassable barrier rendering perfect happiness in this life an impossibility. . . Perfect happiness is unattainable in this life. Does that mean that we are never to taste of the sweets of true beati- tude, or merely that what we are unable to obtain in this life may be possessed in a life to come? Can the heart find satisfaction some place or is it doomed to an eternity of unrest? The answer must necessarily be that we can attain perfect happiness in a life to come for we cannot reconcile the fact that God, having given us this compelling desire, would leave us without the means necessary for its attain- ment. No one believing in the Creator can doubt the existence of a life wherein perfect happiness is to be found. Has God given to us a desire higher than the things of this life only to withhold from us the fulfillment of that desire? My life on this earth has been one of unrest, of sorrow and sadness. In a distant land there awaits us an everlasting existence of joy and gladnessg a life of rest and peace g a dominion of perfect happiness. The soul is made for heaven and for the possession of an uncreated good. God being the only uncreated Good, it follows that in Him alone perfect happiness is found. Even in this life, by a knowledge indescribable, are we made aware of the fact that God is the ultimate end of our desires. To him do we turn in adversity, and thus acknowledge our de- pendence, and his powers of comforting and rendering us happy. Our bodily cravings find satisfaction in the material goods of life, but not so with the soul. It is continually stretching forth in its search after loftier things, and, possessing the capability of love, truth and goodness, seeks to perfect these 12 IGNATIAN great gifts by an intimate association with their Author and Creator. Through revelation we gain a knowledge of God, but this knowledge only causes us to seek a more perfect understanding, and hence a greater love of the Divine Being. Perfect happiness, we can therefore see, must consist of a union with God in all that would serve to make this union perfect-in knowledge and love. As St. Paul says, In Him it hath well pleased the Father that all fulness should dwell. What joy and happiness awaits those fortunate among men who pass within that abode over whose portals are writ- ten the words No sorrow enter heref' no pen such as mine can describe. The mind will find opened to it the eternal truths of the fountain of knowledge, the heart will be en- gulfed in Divine Love, to the exclusion of all fear or unrest, and then will the possession of these two great gifts so per- meate the soul of man, as to bring with them a life of eternal rest, a haven of perpetual peace, where warring passions cease to trouble, and where heart yearnings are no more. Here shall be beauty and joyance and light, as Dante says so beautifully: O Prime Enlightener! Thou who gavest me strength On the high triumph of thy realm to gaze, Grant virtue now to utter what I kennid. There is in heaven a light, whose goodly shine Makes the Creator visible to all Created, that in seeing Him alone Have peace, and in a circle spreads so far, That the circumference were too loose a zone To girdle in the sun. All is one beam Reflected from the summit of the first That moves, which being hence and vigor takes, And as some cliff, that from the bottom eyes HiS image mirror'd in the crystal Hood, As if to admire his brave appareling HEART YEARNINGS 13 Of verdure and of flowers 3 so round about Eyeing the light, on' more than million thrones Stood eminent, whatever from the earth Has to the skies returned. -Il Paradiso. Robert L. Chambers. 61112 Bamning Bag The darkening shroud of night now slips away, The cloudless east is Hooded with a light And painted, as by artist's touches, bright With crimson welcome to awakening day. No motion of the vessels on the bay, No hurry of a bustling city's mightg But only peace and solace in a sight, When man still slept and nature yet was gay. Oh ne'er can sight be seen, a sight more grand, A sight more full of nature's beauteous charm, Than when the night is rolled away from earth, Defeated by the first appearing arm Of burning sunlight, that to all the land Is herald of the joyous daylight's birth. Chas. B. Lafferty. Qnprlema Tinting HISTLING cheerfully, Jack Hardy was cross- ing the campus when Patsy Horgan, the yy varsity coapqh, firsthespiedhhim. Qigcllipnngg tYY,13F2 f B7Qy his stride t e coac caug t up wit ar y and began talking rapidly. Horgan needed ' A ' A no introduction. Even the unsophisticated Freshies knew him for what he was-the man, who since the dawn of the Rugby era upon the Pacific Coast, had turned out team after team of winners for Stoneiield University. Strange I haven't seen you out for practice, my boy, pursued the coach as his eye measured the splendid build of the younger man. What's your name ? he continued. Not strange at all, drawled Jack. I haven't been out. That's the main reason. My name is Hardy-Jack Hardy, he supplemented, eyeing the coach with frank curiosity. Well, then, why haven't you P demanded Horgan, again surveying the massive shoulders of his companion. I've just been in college about a week, retorted Jack, and moreover I hardly know the goal posts from the dress- ing-room about Rugby. I knew it was too late in the sea- son to come out for elementary practice. You're a Freshman, then? interposed the coach. No, Sophomore, smiled Hardy. I spent my Fresh- man year at Michigan. Coach Horgan viewed the youth with newly awakened interest. Last fall,', he remarked, a Michigan Freshman's drop kick won the game from Chicago. That Freshman's name was Hardy, he added with a questioning glance up at jack. For Horgan was as small in stature as his successes were great. Hardy reddened under the coach's gaze but finally an- swered. I guess I'll have to plead guilty as charged, he smiled, and then sought to change the subject. But Patsy Horgan was not to be denied. '- in . said ' .4 It HHOPELESS HARDY 15 You come out to the field to-morrow, my boy. I guess you don't need elementary practice. Wait and see, prophesied Hardy as the two parted company. And resuming his cheerful tune, the Sophomore proceeded towards his room. The following afternoon the Stonefield squad to the num- ber of forty were perfecting themselves in the delicate art of catching punts, when jack Hardy arrived upon the field. jack was clad in the battle scarred togs that had served him at Michigan. His headgear, shin guards and especially his huge block M came in for many a stare from the two score panting, dusty performers upon the chalk-lined field, as Coach Horgan hurried over to greet the new arrival. Hardy, viewing for the first time in his life the spectacle of a Rugby team in uniform, hesitated, and then started for the gate. Hey, Hardy! Wait a minute, called Horgan. Jack waited for him to draw near. Sorry to trouble you, coach, apologized Hardy as Hor- gan approached. Say, where is your Rugby team anyhow? This is the field, isn't it? interrogated jack, his eyes upon the white posts. What do you suppose this squad is ? demanded Horgan rather sharply, as he more than half suspected that Hardy was kidding him. Oh, gee! Is that the team? asked the youth. Why, I thought they were the track team. You don't mean to say they wear that rig in a real game? inquired 'Tack as he noted the bare legs, the thin jerseys, and then remarked his own heavily padded suit. They sure do, answered the coach, with a twinkle in his eye. There's something I can do, suddenly exclaimed jack, as one of the squad muffed a spiral kick. What's that? asked Horgan with a chuckle. I said I could catch punts, returned Jack. Oh, I thought you meant you could miss 'em, sug- gested Horgan, and both laughed. 16 IGNATIAN The player at fault with a View of concealing his discom- fiture, booted the ball far beyond the rest of the squad, straight towards the coach and Hardy. Jack, balancing himself upon his toes, awaited the fast dropping leather. Straight into his arms settled the ball, a moment later to be driven back, ten yards beyond the Stone- field squad. A murmur of admiration greeted this feat. And then Patsy Horgan introduced the new arrival. As the squad was divided into two teams, Coach Horgan took Hardy to the side lines and there endeavored to ex- plain some of Rugby's foreign terms to the new player. The scrum, line-outs, kicks to touch, all were thoroughly ex- plained before Coach Horgan was satisfied. That's about all I can teach you to-day, Hardy, he concluded. The rest you must pick up by experience. Glorying in his new found knowledge, the big Sophomore decided to take part in the practice game. If you let me go in at fullback on the scrub I'1l not have much to do, will I? asked Jack innocently enough. For thus far in the game the fullback's sole chance was the return of a long kick. ' No, you'l1 not have a great deal to do, Hardy, espe- cially after the varsity backs get warmed up, answered Horgan, but he looked the other way. A few minutes later Jack was out upon the field hopping about in anxiety, watching the course of the ball. Sud- denly three of the varsity backs broke away from the pack and began a passing rush down the field. The center three- quarters was tackled from the rear and dragged down, but the two fives sped on with naught save Hardy between them and the goal. Jack closed in upon the player with the ball and tackled fiercely, hurling his man to earth, only to see him pass the ball to his team-mate, who went over for the try. Say, what kind of a game is this P roared jack as he scrambled to his feet. That ball was down. I tackled that man fairlyf' Sure, sure, grinned the referee, but the ball wasn't dead. . HOPELE.S'S HARD Y 17 Maybe the ball wasn't, but I'm not so sure about myself, ruefully asserted the player whom jack had so vigorously put to earth. The new fullback grinned sickly and shook his head as Capt. Davis converted for the varsity. On the kick off the first team secured possession and dribbled down the Held until Jack fell upon the ball. Im- mediately he sprang up and trotted to his position, only to see Corcoran, the varsity five-eighths and fastest man on the team, rush past him with the ball. jack was dumfounded but not a whit dismayed. With a bound he was after the fast flying five. Yard after yard the distance was cut down until' by a mighty spurt, and an amazing Hying tackle, the varsity man was stopped a scant yard from the goal. So fierce was the tackle that Corcoran dropped the ball. Ere Jack could scramble after it, Evans. a varsity forward, scooped it up and planted the ball between the posts. Har- dy's disgust knew no bounds. During the remaining few minutes of play no further opportunity presented itself to the new fullback. As the teams trotted OH the field, Coach Horgan sur- veyed Iack with a broad grin. Fullback had a little to do, chuckled the coach. At that you did well. That tackling was great, he added. Too bad I couldn't grab two at a time, lamented Hardy, but say, coach, wouldn't it be better if the rest of the team followed the ball more closely, he innocently asked, and then wondered why Horgan laughed. They'd have a lot of fun following you, if you ran like you did to-day. Had on that heavy sweater and that other junk, and yet you caught Corcoran. Once more Horgan viewed his new charge in frank amazement. Well, be sure and come out to-morrow, ordered the little coach, and the two parted company. wk bk 14 lk ak 14 ik . Weeks passed and still the Sophomore appeared each day for practice. Other players were dropped from the squad yet Jack clung on. His kicking was faultless, his tackling superb, but his knowledge of the liner points of 18 IGNATIAN Rugby was woefully lacking. Nevertheless Coach I-Iorgan kept him with the squad. I-Ie's better than the men who were dropped, said Hor- gan when asked. just wait till he learns the finer points of the game. Yet the most sanguine could not but fear that this would never be. Try as he might, jack could not forget the prin- ciples driven into him at Michigan. In the few games in which he took part, Jack would furiously attempt to buck his way through the center of the opposition, expecting his team- mates to follow with the ball. As a forward, Jack was continually off side, and so tan- gled up his teammates' play that Coach I-Iorgan, in despair, was finally forced to relegate him to the side lines. No use, muttered Coach Horgan. I guess it's a hope- less case. And Hopeless Hardy, as his teammates dubbed him, was forced to fill in as understudy to Andrews, the Stonefield fullback. The annual struggle with Parker University was the last game upon Stonef1eld's schedule. Parker was Stonefield's rival in war and peace, but especially in football. In the preliminary games, Parker had run tremendous scores against teams that Stonefield had experienced great difficulty in even defeating. Small wonder that the supporters of the blue viewed the approaching struggle with trepidation. The game was to be played at Stonefield. On the day of the struggle, train after train of crimson beribboned rooters poured into Stonefield. The hour of the contest saw the huge stands filled to overflowing with the rival rooters. Suddenly from an open gate there streamed forth a long line of crimson-stockinged athletes, that swept down the chalk-lined field. There was a tremendous upheaval in the crimson stands as Parker thundered forth a greeting to its team. The roar of the Parker contingent was drowned out in the booming of Stonefield's adherents as Capt. Davis led his team upon the field. Five minutes later the whistle shrilled, the crimson half-back's toe met the leather and the momentous struggle was on. I inf -- 3 I 1 'a iw 'Z l 1 2 1 .35 xl NHOPELESS HARD Y 19 Crouched on the side lines, jack Hardy watched the Stoneiield fullback gather in the kick, run forward until the crimson pack was on him, then boot a full thirty yards to touch. On the line out a Parker forward hooked the ball and passed back to the half. From back to back sped the ball, and the Parker machine swept down the field until Johnson, the center three-quarters, fumbled and Andrews kicked out of danger. The Stonefield forwards followed rapidly and smothered Parker's attack. Then Carey was declared off-side and the resulting free kick netted the crimson a gain of thirty yards. Once more the Parker forwards secured the ball and passed out to the backs. This time the ball was carried to the Stonefield goal line. Andrews kicked but the ball was blocked and went out of bounds ten yards from the line. The toss in was crooked and immediately the whistle shrilled. Crimson and blue rapidly fell into the formation, which to Hardy was Rugby's most unintelligible feature. Back and' forth strained the pack until the ball bounded out into the waiting hands of Carter, the crimson half. Roar, roar, roar arose from the Parker stands as Carter twisted, dodged and squirmed past the lighting Stoneiield squad and fell across the line. Carter, with a triumphant grin upon his dirt-begrimed features, carried the ball out the required distance and crouched upon the ground. johnson, the crimson center- three, advanced upon the ball, and as it touched the earth booted straight for the white cross bar. The crimson shouts of triumph were drowned out in the roaring of Stonefield's adherents as a sudden gust of wind caught the ball and car- ried it wide of the mark. A moment later the Stonelield team was charging down the field after the drop out. Parker secured the ball and speedily rushed it back into the blue territory. From side to side of the field went the ball, now in Parker territory, but nearly always in the blue. On Stonefield's twenty-five yard line the blue warriors made a determined stand, but the ball was still bounding toward 20 IGNATIAN Stonefield's line when the timekeeper's gun sounded the end of the first half. Parker's three points had been all the scoring. The second half was bitterly contested but devoid of any feature until fifteen minutes had elapsed. Then Andrews, backbone of the blue defense, falling before a dribbling rush, was kicked in the head and carried from the field. Hardy! called Capt. Davis as the teams halted for time outf' Jack trotted out to his position as the blue stands broke into a volley of rahs ending up with Hopeless Hardy. Jack merely grinned. Four times the crimson forwards broke through the Stonefield defense and bore down upon the new fullback. Four times they were repelled by the Herculean efforts of Jack Hardy. As if inspired by the playing of the Sophomore fullback the blue braced and for the first time in the game assumed the offensive. Capt. Davis broke 'through for a run of twenty yards. On Parker's ,twenty-five yard line the two teams fought furiously for possession of the leather. Score! Score! Score ! boomed forth the Stonefield stands. Up and down, back and forth, swept the tide of battle, Stone- field fighting every inch of the way and Parker yielding only after their every effort had proven futile. Only a minute more, barked a substitute from the side lines. Unconsciously Jack crept closer to the fray. Suddenly out of the melee shot the ball straight towards the Stonefield fullback. With the Parker forwards bearing down upon him, memories of the old game, the game with Chicago, flashed upon Jack's mind. What had been done then might well be done now. Even as the Parker forwards sprang before him, Jack shifted slightly, dropped the ball, and as it rebounded sent it spinning end over end, between the white goal posts. The roaring of the frenzied Stonefield rooters drowned out the crack of the timekeeper's pistol announcing the end of the game. jack Hardyis drop kick from the field put Stonefield in the lead by one point. That was all that worried any of the wild-eyed Stonefield supporters. I-IOPELESS HARD Y 21 Jack was caught up by his victorious team mates and a triumphant serpentine wound about the field. Who said ,Tack Hardy would never learn Rugby ? roared a youth with a stentorian voice. From his lofty perch upon the shoulders of three giant forwards Jack Hardy held up his hand for silence. I learned that Rugby back at Michigan, fellows, but we only used eleven men. I guess I'm still a hopeless case. Three times three for 'Hopeless' Hardy, bellowed the lusty-lunged youth. Then the cheering began. Warren W. Brown. Qlhrintman Glorious Christmas morn, Fount of grace untold! With thee He was born, Glorious Christmas morn, Who, of glory shorn, Shared our lowly fold.

In holy awe the concourse sees, In holy awe sinks to its knees, Nor cares for rain, nor drenched streets But joyous hymns of praise repeats. And then as if in contrast great, The earthly prince, in earthly state, Rides slowly by, in humbled pride Adoring his Almighty Guide. He seems a tiny grain of sand, Compared to some tall mountain grand. They all forget his regal lot,- He passes, but they heed him not. 214 lk Dis Let all rejoice with gladsome praiseg The Lord His heavenly sceptre sways, While Hell's grim despot's bound in chains For Jesus-sweetest jesus reigns. Thos. H Foster .Anhrrm lang HE British literary world sustained a heavy A5 loss in the sudden death, on July 20, of 'Qf Andrew Lang, the litterateur and scholar. The deepest interest of the cultivated pub- lic throughout the English speaking world attaches to the life and name of this im- mortal Scotsman. gr! Qi Born at Selkirk on March 31, 1844, Andrew Lang was educated at Edinburgh Academy, at St. Andrews University, and finally at Balliol College, Oxford. He evidenced in his academic life the predilection for the classics which influenced so notably his future ideals. His translation of the Odyssey first brought him into the prominence en- hanced by his later translations of Theocritus, Bion and Moschus, the Iliad and the Homeric Hymns. He always ar- dently defended Homeric unity. The dust and awful treasures of the dead, Hath Learning scattered wide, but vainly thee Homer, she meteth with her tool of lead, And strives to rend thy songs, too blind to see The Crown that burns on thine immortal head, Of indivisible supremacy. Lang was an earnest Scotsmang critics have traced even his affection for things French, in particular for the Blessed Jeanne d'Arc, to Scottish history. In Almae Matres, among Rhymes a la Mode, he frankly ex- presses his loyalty to St. Andrew's: All these hath Oxfordg all are dear, But dearer far the little town The drifting surf, the wintry year The college of the scarlet gown- St. Andrew's by the Northern Sea. I 7 26 IGNA TIAN To his having been nursed on the knees of the hills of the north fBallade of his own Countryj, as well as to his excursions into French literature was due, also, no doubt, the distinguishing grace of his writings. While chiefly occupied as scholar, translator, journalist, critic, Lang was a master of metrical forms. His .Ballades in Blue China won for him recognition, and his subsequent works in this line made him a worthy rival of Austin Dobson in his light, neat verses. Versatile and equally voluminous, he was ever about Hunresting and nomadic pursuits of new fields in letters fAthenaeumj. A new vogue for French forms had been set by Dobson, and here especially the influence of French, the mainspring of the dexterity and diversity of all of Lang's writings, is particularly seen. Besides the pleasant ease of his expression, Lang as a versiiier has embued with the same rare imagery that he summoned at will into his prose, such lines as these from The New Millennium in Rhymes a la Modev: Till slowly from the wrinkled skies, The fireless, frozen Sun shall wane, Nor summer come with golden grain, Till men be glad, mid frost and snow To live such equal lives of pain As now the hutted Eskimo. As a critic Andrew Lang was one of an illustrious trio, together with Edmund Gosse and Austin Dobson, whose services to belle-letters were immeasurable. Criticism in their hands was a means of keeping flying the colors of the highest literature, of all that makes and records the flower of civilization QI-Iomer and the Epicj. Any one of Lang's essays on our late masters, as Stev- enson, Dickens, Scott, or Thackeray, should persuade the reader to peruse, as well, its subject, or, if so fortunate, to peruse again, for who could fail to be caught in the ANDREW LANG Z7 meshes of his admirable portrayal of hidden human feelings and the relation thereto of the characters, the creatures of the great novelists. Lang has been compared in appearance and character to Robert Louis Stevenson, yet they worked in utterly di- verse fields of writing. Of especial interest therefore is the essay on Mr. Stevenson's works in the Essays in Little. It is the lover, writer, translator of fairy tales that says in the aforementioned essay: thus in the fogs and horrors of London he plays at being an Arabian tale teller, and his 'New Arabian Nights' are a new kind of romanticism- Oriental, freakish, like the work of a changeling. Indeed, this curious genius, springing from a family of Scottish engineers, resembles nothing so much as one of the fairy children, whom the ladies of Queen Proserpina's court used to leave in thescradles of Border keeps or of Peasant's cottages. The Letters to Dead Authors were very popular, al- though Lang confesses they are by no means his favorite work as they came too easily and do not sort well with his ideas of reverence. They are written in archaic style. They have been called neat things, easy, unpretentious, and give evidence of varied taste and wide knowledge. There is a masterly trend of playful imitation in the letter to Herodotus, with a basis of true English humor. The fol- lowing lines at the expense of British' climatic conditions fairly illustrate the style of the entire sketch: Now the island is not small, but large, greater than the whole of Hellasg and they call it Britain. In that island the east wind blows for ten parts of the year, and the people know not how to cover themselves from the cold. But for the other two months the sun shines fiercely so that some of them die thereof, and others die of the frozen mixed drinks, for they have ice even in the summer, and this ice they put to their liquor. Langls faults, for his scholarship was rather broad than 28 IGNA TIAN deep, have detracted nothing from his true workfto traverse the field of belles-lettres, replenishing its byways With Scottish grace and Gallic artistry. So the tower of mine eminence leans was not written of himself, and, had it been, the recognition that pursues his name would have fore- stalled its effectiveness. William M. Queen.

Alas! like wintry cold, temptation chills That growth so delicate-and all the ills That fallen flesh is heir to, blight the days Of future hope and honor, joy and praise: It fades, imbibes the death that sin instils. And is this life? Ah, death, a blessing thou To free us from vicissitude.

Johnson Iieimgngiral Eemilhermrnt its allotment of abuse in this destructive iw Q age when even the most sacred things .are being criticiaed, 1s.not, in itself, aph cibjtict for surprise, but it is surprising a e abuse should come from men and women who have been identified with the system all their lives. At- tacks from without might have been expectedg it was alto- gether unexpected to hear of internal dissension and it was astonishing to find the dissenters so full of destructive criti- cism and of unmistakable bitterness. One public school teacher writing in The Ladies' Home Journal tells us that the system is the most momentous failure in our American life today. From another we learn that the high schools in particular are little more than fool factories. And when we add to these thoughts the criticism of the universities that appeared some time ago in Everybody's Magazine under the general heading Blasting at the Rock of Ages, we are forced to wonder what they are going to do about it. - ll I-IAT the public school system should receive if M' E ' I 5 Q fi? While thus wondering we beg leave to offer a few thoughts of our own, which may be of advantage in deter- mining just what is wrong with the system. That some- thing is wrong is now generally admitted, and the articles recently contributed to The Ladies' Home Journal empha- size this general conviction. Still we fail to see that any of the critics have indicated the real source of the evil. They are self-constituted physicians, and, in our opinion, they are very faulty in their diagnosis. In fact, one of the articles -that of Professor Frederick Burk, Principal of the State Normal School of San Francisco-affords a very beautiful, though unconscious illustration of the real pedagogical dis- ease that is afflicting the schools. The learned professor, than whom there is no higher authority in the land, builds his article in criticism on the results of a common sense I PEDAGOGICAL' BEWILDERMENT 31 test examination to which he subjected a class of girls who were seeking admission into the Normal School. This com- mon sense test, which affords an additional proof that common sense is a very uncommon possession, will serve as our guide in the thoughts or suggestions that follow. The test was arrayed in formidable language: Charac- terize in a line or so the following persons, in a way to state what they stand for in general public intelligence: Queen Elizabeth, Burbank, Hamlet, Lancelot, etc. There were, in all, 27 names chosen from the widest possible field, from sacred scripture down through Greek mythology to Roman history, thence through English mythology, English history and English literature, to American fiction, politics, sociology and trades unionism, with a side study of music, painting and botany. The girl students manifested a certain degree of familiarity with the classical and historical personages, but were, in great part, deficient in knowledge of current events and modern characters. One little girl though LaFollette was the French general who helped the Americans in the Revo- lutionary war. Another characterized Booker T. Washington as the assassin of Abraham Lincoln. All knew more about the past, particularly the distant past, than about the present, and this aroused the pedagogical indignation of Professor Burk to such a point that he exclaimed: Are we living A. D. or B. C. P He thereupon proceeded to answer the ques- tion which he had himself raised, his answer being sub- stantially as follows: We are, of course, living in the year of our Lord, but no one would be able to judge of the truth of this assertion by the answers received from the girls who sought admission into the State Normal School. They actually knew more about Roman insurgency under Cassius than they did about American insurgency under LaEollette! They seemed to be living Before Christ ! Apart from the main thought which it is our intention to suggest, it may be stated here, in passing, that, educationally speaking, it is not a very undesirable thing to live among the ancients, to breathe the intellectual atmosphere which they 32 IGNA TIAN breathed, to study the great models of literature which they bequeathed to the world. All the truly great intellects of modern times reveled in ancient learning, studied their logic, sought the secret of their accuracy in expression, tried to make their own the beauty and vigor and consistency of their unequalled style. If, with a blind utilitarian zeal, we succeed in changing the old educational scheme and substituting a twentieth cen- tury system with newspapers and literary digests and cur- rent history magazines for text-books-and this seems to be implicitly advocated by Professor Burk-we shall find that the boys and girls who present themselves for future exam- inations will know more about Lillian Perkins than Queen Elizabeth, and more about Rube Marquard than about Gifford Pinchot. That this, in itself, would make a very great dif- ference, educationally speaking, is not altogether certain, for if information is the standard by which you are to judge of mental proficiency, how are you to determine, how are the students to determine on just what subjects they are to be informed? If the teachers or the pupils or both follow the lead of what seems to be meant by general public intelli- gence, they will give more prominence to jack johnson and Harry Thaw than to Pinchot and Henry M. Stanley, as Philosopher Dooley very beautifully pointed out: . So much in passing. We are not prepared to ask: What is wrong with the palladium of our popular government P We shall try to proceed logically in our endeavor to answer this question. It is generally admitted that there are in us three functionally distinct faculties or powers, the memory, the understanding, and the will. It' is also generally admitted -and it is undeniably true-that, though functionally distinct, these three powers have a mutual relation, they act and react on one another, the memory supplies the material, the understanding classifies and co-ordinates it, the will controls the conduct or action which is called for by the classified knowledge. Knowledge is a call to action. Besides the scientific knowledge which consists in systematizing theima- PEDAGOGICAL BEWILDERMENT 33 terial presented by the memory, there is another kind which is the result of comparison, it consists in the conclusions drawn from the relation of fact to fact, or of truth to truth. These three powers require their own objects. The object of the memory is what we- generally call information. The memory collects facts, whether historical or contemporary, becomes a sort of a storehouse, or, if you choose, a picture gallery wherein are found, in endless variety, the subjects about which we are said to be informed. The object of the understanding is the truth of judgments passed on those facts. The object of the will is the goodness that attracts us towards something good or away from something bad. The whole intellectual process is very aptly explained by the simile of physical nourishment. To supply the food is, by comparison, the works of the memory, to assimilate it and make it one's own is, again by comparison, the work of the understanding 5 while the proper use of the thus acquired strength and vigor or power to act is an apt illustration of the will-function. This division and explanation of the powers of the soul is one of the many precious heirlooms handed down from the ancients, from those who lived B. C. It is, as before stated, generally admitted, though there are some who, in the words of Chesterton, have knocked their heads against the limits of human thought and cracked them, and who in consequence of the cracked head dream empty dreams about the Hheirach- ical self and the usundering of the ego and suggest other explanations that when stripped of their high-sounding ver- biage are little more than indications of diseased intelligence or vitiated wills. It is only necessary to appeal to one's common sense, to recognize the fact that we have these three powers. I Now it is quite evident that, just as physical training to be complete should embrace the whole physical system, so the training of the mind must extend to all three mental pow- 34 IGNA TIAN ers and in so far as one or other is neglected the education is proportionately defective, and results in producing what has been called an intellectual acrobat. The public school system in this country makes no pretense to educate the will, though, as a matter of fact, it influences for evil this greatest power in man. The sorry attempts sometimes made to instil even the natural virtues are for the most part pitiable. An eloquent comment on the moral inefficiency of the public schools has been unconsciously made by the guardians of liberty in their defense of the system against what they call the hostility of the Catholic Church. The defense is a tissue of lies, prompted by injustice, and sealed with hypocritical cowardice. We may, however, put aside this thought of moral in- efficiency and study the purely intellectual flaws of the sys- tem. Professor Burk gave a common sense test which seems to us to make no provision for the understanding at all. There may have been other tests, but the only one mentioned in The Ladies' Home Journal is a memory test. What the professor's private opinion of the functions of education may be, there is no way at hand of determining, but to build any pedagogical conclusion on the failure or success of a class of girls characterizing in a line or so twenty-seven persons chosen at random, seems to indicate a tendency to regard education as a system, the chief func- tion of which is to impart information. The intellect, of course, needs information, else it cannot work. It must be fed by facts, otherwise it will die of starvation, but is it not, after all, just as reasonable to starve the intellect as to administer an overdose of infor- mation that cannot be digested and that will result in in- tellectual dyspepsia and consequent death? Our assimilating ability, physically speaking, is limited and there is no reason in the world to imagine that our intellectual assimiliation is not similarly limited. If twenty-five of the girls examined by Professor Burk received about 95 per cent, in their answers to that question embracing as it did sacred history, Greek my- PEDAGOGICAL BEWILDERMENT 35 thology, Roman history, English mythology, English history, English drama, music, painting, Roman insurgency, American insurgency, botany, sociology, evolution, the negro question, equal suffrage, American fiction, American politics, forestry, exploration, boycotting and trades unionism, and other things-if they showed a certain amount of information on all these subjects should we not deplore the system that con- siders the model boy or girl one who, to use Tennyson's ex- pression, is Ugorged with knowledgev? Should we not con- demn the system that is making an ideal of intellectual glut- tony? A senator of the United States is reported as having said that he spoke so often about tariff reform, proposed so many bills and amendments to bills, that he was beginning to understand the meaning of tariff. In fact, it is said that there is only one man in the United States who-if locked in a room, in order to separate him from books-could write an intelligent treatise on the traiff. It is a forcible illustration of our intellectual limitations. Hence when we find a learned professor deploring the fact that the girls whom he examined were not better informed, at least on contemporaneous events, it seems to us that his ideal of education is what we generally call cram- ming. When we find that his reformation is to consist in administering more of the embalmed stuff that fills the maga- zines and newspapers, it seems that the remedy-if we under- stand it aright-is far worse than the disease. This cram- ming with mere information and especially this cramming with misinformation is, in the purely intellectual order, the first great i-law in our present day pedagogics, this it is, more than anything else, that makes the fool factories what they are. To remove the original dimness of the mindis eye, to strengthen and perfect its vision, to enable it to look out into the World, right forward, steadily and truly, to give the mind clearness, accuracy, precision 5 to enable it to use words arightg to understand what it says g to conceive justly what it thinks is, according to Newman, the object of intellectual education. How the clearness, accuracy and precision can 36 IGNATIAN be cultivated by the gorging system, it is not easy to see, especially when we remember that, as the aboveillustration shows, it is rarely possible to acquire clearness and accuracy and precision on even one subject. Macaulay expresses his surprise that even the great mind of Milton, so crowded with information, was capable of rising superior to the difficulty which we have suggested. So intense and ardent was the fire of his mind, Macaulay says of Milton, that it not only was not suffocated beneath the weight of fuel, but penetrated the whole superincumbent mass with its own heat and radiance. Few, if any, have minds with a heat and radiance similar to that of Milton'sg few can wear the gorgeous and terrible panoply which his genius was accustomed to wear g and shall we make education consist in piling on fuel, and increasing the superincumbent mass of information. If we do, the result will inevitably be suifocation, and the number of mute inglorious Miltons will be increased by the very process which should tend to de- crease the number. This is the first flaw-it is positive and consists in over- loading the 1nem0'ry. The second flaw is negative and may be described as an utter neglect of the understanding, As already indicated, there is a connection between these two powers, the one assimilates what the other supplies, but this process of assimilation needs attention. Any normal boy or girl can gather information and if one lives long enough in- formation will force itself on the mindg but very few do any real thinking, because they have not been trained to think. To think means, above all things, to pass clear, accurate and correct judgments, to examine premises and to draw conclu- sions, to ask the why and the wherefore of things. This some one may say is the function of logic and provision is made for logic in the universities. It is the function of logic, to be sure, but logic is as natural to the mind as sight is to the eye, and unless crushed, as it may be, it will assert itself in every imaginable circumstance. The fool factoriesn are doing all they can to crush it, as we have seen, and nothing at all to train it, as we shall see. PEDAGOGICAL BEWILDERMENT 37 The great training school for thought, apart from other and higher advantages, is classical education. Latin and Greek have been called the parallel bars in the intellectual gymna- sium. A student cannot translate a single Latin or Greek line into English, or a single English line into Latin or Greek without asking himself why as many times as there are words in the sentence. The advantage possessed by the B. C. languages, in this regard, over modern languages consists in this, that they are supremely logical in their structure. You may not be able to find very many utilitarian reasons in favor of classical study, if you are superiicially utilitarian, but if it is of any use to be able to think aright, then, even from an utilitarian viewpoint, the classical languages are capable of justification. Another great result of classical training' is that it de- velops attention or concentration. What is needed now more than anything else is this power of concentration, this power to direct our thoughts along certain definite lines, and hold them there. Every teacher knows that this is the great de- sideratum of a classroom, to keep the students from wander- ing and day-dreamingg and every teacher knows that, with the power of concentration or attentive reading, one can do more in one day, in the way of acquiring information, than in a whole year without that power. Information is indeed necessaryg the truly educated man is one who knows something about everything and everything about something, but actual experience has very amply dem- onstrated that undigested and unclassified information is crowded out by what is added and that the high school pupils are forgetting what they learn in the school to make room for what they learn outside the school, forgetting what they learn one year to make room for the lessons of the next. This is not the case with assimilated knowledge, and so if we are to educate in the true sense of the word, We must train the youthful mind in the process of assimilation, practice it in the art of making its own the thought of others and the methods of arriving at thought which others follow. This, in a word, is to teach them how to think. No one need 38 I GNATIAN worry about the actual acquisition of informationg it will come of itself, but every true educator will Worry about the best method of teaching the mind how to handle that infor- mation when it comes. What has been said of classical education is, some one may urge, attended to in the high schools. Unfortunately it is not. Latin, it is true, and sometimes Greek, are found in the curriculum, but the cramming system has succeeded in marring the otherwise beneficial results which the classical languages are calculated to produce. It is no longer how thoroughly the student has read an author, but how much he has read that determines the pedagogical judgment on his efficiency. Perhaps it would be better to dispense with the classics altogether than to administer them in the same overdoses that characterize the administration of other sub- jects., The third flaw in our public education does not come within the scope of this paper. It is the neglect of the will. Professor Burk seems to think that the purpose of education is to train the youth, who are to form the nation. We agree with him, but there is not always an agreement on the means by which this high and noble purpose is to be attained. There is, in this matter, a majestic thought beautifully expressed by Milton, which is as true now as it was in his time: To make the people littest to choose and the chosen littest to govern, will be to mend our corrupt and faulty educationg to teach the people faith, not without virtue, temperance, modesty, sobriety, parsimony, justice. How can this be done? Do you imagine, says Plato, one of the B. C. school, that polities grow on a tree, or on a rock, and not out of the moral dispositions of men who compose them P Surely out of the moral dispositions. The lirst element of good government, echoes Mill, is to promote virtue and intelligence of the human beings com- prising the community. How can the moral dispositions be trained, how can virtue be promoted, how can tem- perance, modesty, sobriety, parsimony, justice be taught? The question can .not be answered in the limits of this PEDAGOGICAL BEWILDERMENT 39 paper. It is raised merely to show how completely and terribly true is the assertion that our public school system is the most momentous failure in American life to-day. It overloads the memory, it suifocates the understanding, it ignores the will, and again we wonder what they are going to do about it! Raymond T. Feeley.

BUTLER Assistant Business Managers ifhitnrial The fifty-third annual commencement exercises of St. Ignatius College will be long remembered by its alumni, students and friends, for it was then that THE NEW our energetic president, Father Albert F. UNIVERSITY. Trivelli, S. I., announced the plan upon which he and the Faculty had been laboring long and fruitfully. It was a simple announcement but one fraught with meaning. It was not merely the nominal chang- ing of St. Ignatius College to The University of St. Ignatius. It was the fruition of the ardent desire and fervent, though seldom expressed, hope that there would one day rise in the city of San Francisco a great Catholic University. The an- nouncement of Father President on June twenty-fourth, nine- teen hundred and twelve, opened the avenue to the fullillment of those hopes and marked in a special manner the epoch of the new and greater San Francisco. 0 42 IGNA TIAN The addition of Colleges of Law and Engineering met with instant approval, for the worth of Jesuit literary and philosophical training has been universally recognized, and all felt that the new departments would be as successful as the old. A glance at the faculty of the College of Law justifies the most roseate expectations of future success. Indeed, if the professors instil into the students the principles COLLEGE and knowledge wherewith they builded for them- OF LAW- selves such successful careers, it will not be long ere St. Ignatius Law Department will become famous. The selection of the I-Ion. Matt. I. Sul- livan as Dean was a happy one, for in his years of prac- tice he has set a mark toward which rising lawyers could well direct their course. We need only enumerate the fac- ulty members to prove that all augurs well for future pros- perity. Such men as George A. Connolly, john O'Gara, John J. O'Toole, Joseph Farry and Joseph W. Beretta are well known. These are the Professors of Law. We shall name but a few of the special Lecturers: judge james V. Coffey, Judge Jeremiah F. Sullivan and Judge john M. Bur- nett. Their names alone would prove that our boast, if one would call it such, is not an empty one. Nor is this the mere word of one vitally interested in the new University, but it is the substance of the approbation with which the bench and bar greeted the announcement of the personnel of the faculty. The University is indeed to be congratulated on obtaining the services of such efficient professors. That the public quickly recognized the worth of the new department was evidenced by the opening registration of half a hundred students. VVriting this we have in mind several other Law Colleges, which, opening a few years ago with less than twenty students, now point to an enrollment of over five hundred. May like success attend the College of Law of the University of St. Ignatius! K EDITORIAL 43 Every whit as efficient is the' faculty of the Engineering College. The dean, M. M. O'Shaughnessy, B. E., Royal University of Dublin, is a peer in his pro- COLLEGE OF fession, and his recent appointment to the ENGINEERING- position of City Engineer marks him as one especially equipped to direct the mon- ster engineering projects with which our city is now con- cerned. Nor can we pass over in silence the names of Alfred R. Cleary, Professor of Civil Engineeringg Cyril Williams, Jr., Edgar O. McCann and John E. Pope, Lecturers on Civil Engineering, and William E. McCann, Professor of Draft- ing and Graphics. This course, like the law course, is in full swing and is also showing signs of steady growth. Although the establishment of a full course in medicine was deemed inexpedient at the present, the perfecting of our pre-medical course is a step in that PRE-MEDICAL direction. The prospective students of DEPARTMENT- medicine will receive a thorough knowl- edge of the fundamentals of their future major studies, for the faculty in this course is as efficient as can be found in any university. The selection of Dr. Milton B. Lennon, M. D., as director, leaves nothing to be desired, and Dr. Lennon is ably assisted by Professor Otto Zajicek, M. D., late instructor in the University of Vienna, and Dr. Rafael G. Duflicy, M. D., who will serve as instructor in this course. Our pride in our university, therefore, is not without foundation, and we sincerely pray the Giver of all good gifts, that the future will prove our hopes are not in vain. Alumni nina The annual business meeting of the Alumni Association of St. Ignatius College, was held for the last time under that name, at Iules', on Thursday evening, Sept. 26, 1912. The principal business of an enjoyable evening was the change of name of the Society, which in future will be known as the Alumni Association of the University of St. Ignatius. The transition gave rise to many glowing tributes to the past and more sanguine predictions for the future. At an earlier date the President of the University, Rev. Albert F. Trivelli, S. I., called a special meeting of the Alumni, at which he thanked them for the unselfish aid they had given him in carrying out the work which has been the hope of the Fathers for many years. He outlined for them the scope and aim of the new University and made plain the pressing need of Catholic professional schools, and lest some should be disappointed in the event of a rather small begin- ning, pointed to the fact that some of our largest Catholic universities were very modest in their inception. It gives us pleasure to be able to add with Father Trivelli, our meed of praise and thanks to the Alumni-us who benefit directly from the fruits of their generosity and who will ever bear in mind the aid which made it possible. At the regular meeting the annual election of officers was held, and the destinies of the Society for the ensuing year were placed in the following hands: President-John T. Fogarty, A. M., A. B., '75g Vice-Pres- ident-Joseph A. Murphy, A. B., '01, Secretary-john L. Whelan, A. B., 'O5g Treasurer--Luke J. Flynn, A. B., '95. The meeting also occasioned the reception of several new members. Added to the ever growing list are: Richard C. Queen, A. B., 'l2g Horace E. Chambers, A. B., '12, Chas. P. Knights, A. B., '12, Jos. D. Toohig, A. B., '12, Wensinger F. Mahony, A. B., '12, Carl A. Dransfeld, A. B., '12, Robert H. Heaney, A. B., '12, Rafael G. Duflicy, M. D., A. M., '12, Rev. C. A. Buckley, S, J. ALUMNI NOTES 45 The business of the evening concluded with the discus- sion of the Annual Banquet. This important function will be at the St. Francis Hotel on the evening of Nov. 21, 1912. The committee of arrangements: Dr. A. H. Giannini, '94, John L. Whelan, 'O5g Luke J. Flynn, '95g Stanislaus A. Riley, 'OO. We are glad to see on the faculty roll the name of Hon. Jeremiah F. Sullivan, LL. B., A. B., '70. In the opinion of every Native Son, this name, which is A. B., '70 hailed from afar, is a byword for legal integrity and success at the bar. As a special lecturer in the College of Law, Mr. Sullivan will devote his time to instilling those principles which have made him a shining light in his chosen profession. In the role of a special lecturer, another old boyn re- turns to the scene of his former labors, to give to Alma Materl' the fruit of that seed once planted by A. B., '79 her fostering care. Francis C. Cleary, LL. B., A. B., '79, who like his colleague, Mr. Sullivan, is well known in San Francisco legal circles, is lending his efforts to the upbuilding of the College of Law. Fortunate indeed is the College of Law in procuring the invaluable aid of that prominent member of the Bench, ' the Hon. James V. Coffey, LL. D., '05. In LL. D., '05 conjunction with his legal associates, Judge Coffey has volunteered his services of Special Lecturer. This is welcome news to everyone who has at heart the success of the Law School. In these few lines we but reecho the voice of the people of San Francisco, who have always held our distinguished Alumnus in the highest esteem, and in the recent elections almost unanimously chose him to fill once again the honorable position of Judge of the Superior Court. We quote the following from the San Francisco Call 46 IGNATIAN regarding an eminent son of Alma Mater, Joseph S. Tobin, who was graduated A. B. from St. Igna- A. B., '87 tius College in the year '87: Joseph Sadoc Tobin, attorney, former super- visor, and one time candidate for mayor in this city, was elected a member of the board of directors of the Exposi- tion Company yesterday. Tobin will fill the place made vacant by the death of Andrew M. Davis. Tobin is a San Franciscan by birth, and was educated at the St. Ignatius College in this city. He was subse- quently graduated from the Jesuit College and Law School in Georgetown, D. C. At the present time he is a recog- nized leader of the California Bar and chief attorney for the Hibernia Bank, a position he has held since 1888. He is also a director of the Hibernia Bank, the Bank of Cali- fornia, and the Pacific Gas and Electric Company. The newly elected Exposition official served as super- visor under the Phelan administration, and his ability and integrity in office were readily recognized. He always stood for high ideals and purity in political life. He re- ceived his nomination for mayor from the Democrats. Tobin was chosen by the Catholic laity of California to present their offering of affection to Archbishop Riordan on the occasion of his jubilee. To Mr. Tobin THE TGNATIAN, in behalf of the Faculty and Associated Students of the University of St. Ignatius, tenders heartiest congratulations. Another Alumnus has been honored by the civic offi- cials. Mr. Alfred I. Cleary, B. S., A, B., '02, who for several years has been prominent in engineer- A. B., '02 ing circles, has been appointed to the post of Assistant City Engineer. After being graduated A.

Among the expounders of legal principles in the Uni- versity, We are happy to see George A. Connolly, LL. B., A. M., '02, Many are the grads to whom A. M., '02 Mr. Connolly unfolded the subtle mysteries of Latin and Greek at the old College before the 'quake. Though he may have exacted from them lessons that at times seemed above human endeavor, and unflinch- ingly wielded the rod of discipline, still both in and outside the classroom he endeared himself to all. Since those happy days, Mr. Connolly has been prominent in public life, as is attested by those positions of trust to which at various times he has been elected. We can only say that his success in his field of endeavor is alone equaled by his former triumphs at the bar and in the classroom. What old boy that ever had the happiness of being sent out to the office by Thomas W. Hickey, A. M., '07, can forget the genial smile that on such an A. M., '07 occasion lit up the face of his professor? Mr. Hickey is now numbered among the faculty of the Law College. Since college days Tom has inscribed his name in the hall of fame of politics, as the leader of the local contingent of the Democratic party. In legal circles he has likewise courted and won Success, as the attorney for the Public Administrator. VVe sincerely hope, f'Tom , that your future successes be as many and glorious as those you have reaped in the past. We are proud to number among the many noted names of our professors that of William E. McCann, A. B., '09, As an instructor in the preparatory department, A. B., '09 as Well as professor of Drafting and Graphics, Will has endeared himself to us by the same genial ways, which made him one of the boysn while an undergraduate. 48 IGNATIAN By the death of james Roberts Kelly, which took place on September 28th of this year, Alma Mater has lost one of her noblest sons. True he never attended Ph. D., '07 St. Ignatius in the role of student, and the degree of Doctor of Philosophy which he re- ceived in 1907 was not a degree in course. But no regu- lar student was ever more attentive to the lessons of wis- dom given by the best professors of St. Ignatius for over half a century than was james R. Kelly, and if Philosophy is nothing more than the study and love of wisdom, then was he certainly entitled to the honorary degree of Doctor of Philosophy. There was a time not so many years ago when a great deal, too much altogether in fact, was thought of a self-made man. Of late, however, it has become the foolish fashion with many to think that no one is really educated unless he has gone through every grade of the Grammar School and every grade of the High School, not skipping a single grade or omitting a single subject, and after receiving the required number of units has passed through a four or six years' university course and has been awarded his diploma. james R. Kelly, though he had had a good liberal educa- tion, would not have been admitted even with Freshman standing by the Committee on Credentials into any of our State universities, but there is not a professor occupying the chair of Philosophy in any of those universities to whom james R. Kelly could not have taught more things about true wisdom than were ever dreamt of in the pro- fessor's philosophy. True philosophy is the science of the ultimate reasons and causes of things. He, then, who does not know the Last Cause, the Cause of Causes, is no philosopher. And the agnostics and atheists and evolutionists who fill the chairs of pseudo philosophy in our State universities cer- ALUMNI NOTES 49 tainly do not know the Last Cause, the Cause of Causes- God. Relying upon the inanities of Spencer and the falsi- fied figures of Haeckel, they say in their heart with the fool in the psalm, 'fthere is no God. Not like them was James R. Kelly. He had mastered the contents of the City of God of St. Augustine, which with its deep reasoning and spiritual unction and adequate literary power, proclaimed to his mind and heart the stu- pendous Work of God and discovered to him a universe which to most men is more or less unknown. Alma Mater, therefore, did not make a mistake in conferring on such a son the honorary degree of Doctor of Philosophy. There were those who thought that the degree of Doctor of Letters would have been more appropriate. True, James R. Kelly was very Well read in Literature, particularly the English Poets, long passages of whom he could quote at will. But as he was also a philosopher, a lover of wisdom, a seeker after wisdom, why should the greater honor have been denied him? Of Mr. Kellyls spiritual life something has been said in our Monthly Calendar for November and I need not repeat it here. If a man is what he loves, James R. Kelly must have been a very good man, for the God whom he knew so well and in whom he believed so firmly, he loved with all the ardor of his being. To those who have lost in him a friend and father THE IGNATIAN offers its sincerest sympathy. Vincent S. Brown. I xrhangrn The eye is very susceptible to beauty and it is this prone- ness that led us to peruse first our latest copy of the Young Eagle. Its neat white cover at once YOUNG EAGLE- catches the eye and although line feathers don't make line birds, at least they lend materially to attractiveness. More than half the volume is devoted to college notes and affairs which no doubt are of intense moment to the alumnae and those more immediately concerned. Indeed the whole issue fairly bristles with col- lege spirit, but the big treat is'in the form of a dramatic review, In this the author briefly traces the development of the American dramaifrom its very inception to the present day. It is an interesting chronicle and shows a keen insight into dramatics, especially of the earlier periods. The plays referred to as elevating and refined, however, are for the most part of questionable value. Many modern miracle plays are instanced as uplifting dramas. Indeed, plays like the Servant in the Housev and others may be highly moral, nevertheless there are many plays upon the stage to-day which do not have to ring in biblical characters to get them over. These same plays which we refer to have also done more good in a material way without creating a stir in the world of comment as an advertising feature. Another dainty volume on Hle is the Jubilee Number of the 'fNotre Dame Quarterly. Its general contents embody the jubilee spirit, and much in both verse NOTRE DAME and prose is ensconced between the two QUARTERLY- covers. The volume is also replete with numerous beautiful illustrations, a feature which in the majority of our college magaaines is sadly missmg. EXCHANGES 51 Upon expenditure of much valuable thought and severe tax on our mental powers we can find no excuse for the title 'fOnce, appearing in the Stanford Se- SEQUOIA- quoiaf' Note well, we did not say the story Once, merely the title. The story proper, after one gains a near concept of Rosuella, is a clever piece of entertainment. We regret to say, however, that our im- agination is too restricted in its scope to picture a character with the skin and eyes of a Spanish girl, the hair of a Pro- vencal, long English hands and feet, the upright build of the German girls-and a voice! Evidently Rosuella was a lady of parts, which on assemblage, we are informed, con- stitute a rnulatto. Aside from the picturing of the much grafted character and the meaningless title of the story, the little narrative encloses a well handled plot. It is not of the time-worn variety, and is so deftly unraveled as to sustain interest to the end. - Of all the exchanges received, probably none is more welcome than the Notre Dame Scholastic. Although not so attractive from the exterior, still our NOTRE DAME better judgment compels us to overlook SCHOLASTIC. that feature, and the variety of matter unfolded through the Scholastic is a rev- elation. Besides the pair of essays which usually appear, there are numerous poetic flights, an entertaining story or two, and many pomes brought to light through the exhaust of the Safety Valve. The editorials carry them- selves with a professional air, and give us an inkling of what is happening around the Middle West, incidentally South Bend. The only feature lacking is an exchange column. We feel that this would be a big addition to the Scholastic, and if they could instill the same pep into this, that runs through the other departments, the Ex- change could not fail to make good. 52 IGNATIAN For many years the Fleur de Lis has gone through the printer's hands, and being a charter member of the old guard, it pleads for no fiattering en- FLEUR DE LIS couragement. Nor does it require any, for its standard has always been high, and this it has maintained without faltering and becoming childish with age. An exceptionally well-written poem en- titled A Vision of Erin, holds a prominent place in the November issue. It deals with the times long since fied when the clans of the Emerald Isle engaged in historic feud, a romantic age long to be remembered. The war- like scene is vividly described and takes us back to Dhubbin Landing to muse on the bloody strife of the Irish. A brace of articles on present day topics, The Com- mission System and A River in Harness, afford enter- taining and instructive reading, but some of the essays striving for recognition hardly come up to the standard. The essay, Down Crystal River, is, from the critic's point of view, certainly a literary enigma. Indeed from this it should not be inferred that the essay is obscure, on the contrary, it is very vivid. It is a flighty bit of writing, soaring at times to a great eminence only to fall and crush the over-taxed brain of the reader. Cn this account it is difficult to separate the fine points from the short- comings. Suffice it to say that the parts which are good are very good, and that which is bad is-5 but why be too harsh because of a few purple patches marring a com- position which bears the ear marks of beauty. Other publications for which we are gratefully indebted are the Gonzaga, the Solanian, the Mills College Maga- zine, the Redwood, St, Mary's Chimes, the Loyola University Magazine, the 'fEphebeum, the Fordham Monthly, the Pacific Star, and the University Sympo- Siumf' Fred S.

J., THE SODA!-ITY every meeting was a decided suc- OF THE IMMACU- cess. Every Saturday afternoon LATE CUNCEPTION- vast numbers of the students re- sponded generously to the call to give proof of their love and devotion by united prayer before the altar of their Immaculate Mother. There they place the little trials and troubles encountered in the daily routine of student-life, and with the simplicity of lively faith, devoutly pray Her to intercede for them before the Throne of her Divine Son, that they may never stray from the path of justice, but with unflagging step may walk along the narrow way that leads to Life. When they have gone forth from the embraces of Alma Mater into the battlefield of the world, may each student preserve these habits of devotion to the Blessed Virgin, and may the Immaculate Mother of God be their abiding strength and protection amid the strife! How consoling it must be to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, as well as to our good Directors, and to the Sodal- ists at large, to see so many weekly communicants among their number. This is an advantage, whose value is be- yond conception, yet one of the many priceless treasures offered to us as members of the Sodality. And the attendance at the weekly meetings of this year has been as gratifying as that of the past. The en- thusiasm displayed by the Sodalists up to this speaks Well for a year, whose success will fully realize the most sanguine hopes of Father Joy. 54 IGNATIAN Merrily indeed did the members of the Loyola Science Academy group themselves round the festive board for their annual celebration of Charter Night.

All regretted exceedingly the unavoidable absence of our beloved President, Rev. Fr. Albert Trivelli, S. J., to whose toast, Catholic Science, however, Rev. Fr. Mahony, S, I., responded in a manner long to be remembered by those present. Guests of the Academy were the Faculty P1-0- fessors of Senior and junior Years. ' UNIVERSITY NOTES 55 To the Class of '12 the Society owes a debt of gratitude, for its members, always faithful in attendance during their years of ahiliation with the Academy, have given a series of lectures excellent in every respect and have set a high and exclusive standard for the proceedings of the Academy. The present session promises to be fully as interesting as the preceding. The annual program of lectures has ap- peared in its usual natty form, while a large enrolment has brought a host of enthusiastic workers to the halls of the Academy. The following gentlemen have been chosen to preside over the functions of the Academy: President-Mr. Zacheus J. Maher, S. J., Vice-President- Mr. Robert L. Chambers, '13g Recording Secretary-Mr. Ed- ward M. O'Neill, '13g Corresponding Secretary-Mr. Peter J. McHugh, 'l5g Treasurer--Mr. John J. Schlappi, '13, Li- brarian-Mr. T. Paul Ahern, '16, The St. john Berchman's Sanctuary Society speaks for itself. Though we can scarcely add to its glory, yet here we take occasion to offer our meed of THE ST- JOHN praise. During the long twenty-five BERCHMAN'S SANC- years of its existence, it has always TUARY SOCIETY- been looked up to as a chief source of honor to the College, and we are assured that in the future it will continue to deserve well of the University. Some, if not most of the most loyal sons of Alma Mater, those who in the world or in the Church, are making her name known far and wide, we are proud to find mentioned among the active and honorary members of our So- ciety. And the members of the present Society assist at the sacred functions of the Altar with that reverence and devo- tion which characterized the first years of its foundation. Under the guidance of Mr. james P. Leahy, S. J., the 56 IGNATIAN Director for the ensuing year, the Sanctuary Society gives every promise of success. Mr. Leo J. Simpson, S. J., who presided over our affairs last year, has been called away to Woodstock, Md., to pursue his theological studies in immediate preparation for the holy Priesthood. He will ever be remembered by the Sanctuary boys, as a most loyal and devoted friend, willing at all times to sacrifice himself for their welfare. The transferred feast of St. John Berchmans, the Patron of the Society, was celebrated on Sunday, November 24, 1912. The boys assisted at the 8:30 Mass, and received Holy Com- munion in a body. They were all present likewise at Solemn High Mass, offered in honor of their glorious Patron. At the first meeting of this term, held on September 14, 1912, the following officers were elected: Prefect, Francis B. Lessmanng First Assistant, Paul A. Fitzgerald g Second Assistant, Martin I. Keating 5 Censor, Albert Heney, Secre- tary, T. Paul Ahern, Treasurer, Wallace Austin, Vestry Prefects, J. Harry Strehl and john O'Keefe. We are all conversant with the familiar adage, Knowl- edge is Power! But do we fully appreciate the fact that practice must supplement theory, that THE SENIOR PHIL- unless we become masters of the med- HISTURIAN DE- ium, by which our knowledge can be BATING SOCIETY- made profitable to ourselves and our ' neighbor, the hours spent in the study of books are as wasted moments. In this country how many golden opportunities present themselves to the man who can stand upon his feet, and convincingly address an audience in clear, forcible language. Keenly alive to this, the Faculty of the University has at all times considered the establishment of the Debating Society an important factor in education. Under the safenguidance of a skilled Director, the students UNIVERSITY NOTES 57 cooperate with the efforts of the Faculty, and make the best of the occasions afforded them of putting into practice the principles inculcated in the class-room. A brilliant public debate, held on the evening of May 22, 1912, crowned with success a year unparalleled in the annals of the Senior Philhistorian Debating Society. A Gold Medal, the gift of Dr. James Franklin Smith, is the prize annually competed for by the members. This, and the timely question of the evening- Resolved, A protective Tariff is preferable to a Tariff for Revenue only -attracted to Golden Gate Hall a very large audience. Mr. Robert L. Chambers, '13, who presided in the chair, opened the evening with a few appropriate remarks. Mr. C. Harold Caulfield, '13, and Mr. William M. Queen, '14, declared for Protection, while Mr. Joseph D. Toohig, '12, and Mr. Wensinger F. Mahoney, '12, upheld the opposition. Each speaker in turn expounded his views with such fluency and force, that for a time the final decision of the judges seemed a task difficult in the extreme. The gentleman of the first affirmative presented his position in the clearest light, and brought forth argument after argu- ment to sustain that position. But he found a worthy oppo- nent in the gentleman of the second negative, whose argu- ments had equal, if not greater value, and who moreover tipped the balance in his favor by the ease with which he took the audience into his confidence, and won their hearty applause. The following gentlemen had volunteered to act as judges: Hon, Frank J. Murasky, LL. B., William A. Breen, LL. B., A. M., '05, and Joseph Farry, A. B., LL. B. Owing to the unavoidable absence of Judge Murasky, Rev. Patrick J. Foote, S. J., kindly consented to act in his stead. After the deliberation of the judges, Mr. Breen as chairman an- nounced that the decision was in favor of the negative, and the medal was awarded to Mr. 'Wensinger F. Mahoney, '12. Needless to say, the decision met with the approval of the house. Shortly after the commencement of the Fall Term, the 58 IGNATIAN Senior Philhistorians convened on the evening of October 12, 1912, to elect officers for the ensuing year. Though the Society had lost some prominent members in the class of '12, still this was made up for by the large influx of new recruits. About thirty students of the Law College were unanimously admitted to membership, and besides the Senior Society drew upon the Junior organization for some of its ablest speakers, who this year registered in Freshman Class. The President, Rev. Dionysius J. Mahony, S. J., in a brief address spoke to the members, old and new, on the aim and purpose of the Society, and detailed the work to be accomplished during the year. The following officers were elected for the present semes- ter: Vice-President, C. Harold Caulfield, '13, Recording Secretary, Vincent S. Brown, '13, Corresponding Secretary, Raymond T. Feely, '14, Censor, Robert L. Chambers, 'l3g Treasurer, John J. Schlappi, '13. From the spirited way in which the debates are being carried on this semester, it is quite evident that the junior Philhistorians fully intend to measure THE JUNIOR PHIL- up in every respect to the high stan- HISTORIAN DE- dard they set for themselves in the BATING SOCIETY- sessions of the past year. Not a little knowledge of the intri- cacies of parliamentary law has been displayed of late, while eloquence of the kind that sways judge and jury has charac- terized the speeches of many a promising debater. Our membership is gradually increasing, in fact, at almost every meeting the Corresponding Secretary has the pleasant duty of reading applications for admission from the future Websters and Burkes of the third and fourth years of High School. More power to our growing numbers, is all we can say. If there are others who are anxious to become ready, fluent speakers, the J. P. D. S. will, according to our way ll 1 l T 5. V r i.. - qvpr.. ,. -rs ,I UNIVERSITY NOTES 59 of thinking, afford them opportunities that will surely prove invaluable in after life. At a recent meeting, we decided to offer cash prizes, every now and then, to the best speaker of the evening. As a result, rare treats in oratory are heard in the classic old hall these nights, and from all indications, the five impartial judges have no easy task before them in settling the reward on the successful speaker. Mr. George Bulotti was the first to win the coveted honor, his diction, elocution and argu- mentation were of a finished order and the perfect ease with which he handled his subject reflected great credit on the genial Vice-President. Not long since we received an invitation from the mem- bers of Ignatian Council, Y. M. I., to appear before them in a semi-public debate on the night preceding Thanksgiving. We accepted the invitation and appointed Messrs. Cole, Wise- man, Leisner and Sheehan to represent us. The question chosen for debate is, Resolved, That Capital Punishment should be Abolished in California. The affirmative will be argued by Messrs. Cole and Wiseman. Messrs. Leisner and Sheehan will defend the negative. At the beginning of the year the following officers were elected: Rev. Robert V. Burns, S. -I., President, Mr. George Bulotti, Vice-President, Mr. William Sheehan, Recording Secretary, Mr. Charles Wiseman, Corresponding Secretary, Mr. William Cole, Treasurer, Mr. Howard Finn, Librariang Mr. C. Cronin, Sergeant-at-Armsg Mr. joseph Leisner, Re- porter. The first regular meeting of the Athletic Association this term was held on Sept. 10. The two main objects of the meeting were the election of officers THE ASSOCIATED for the coming year and the launching STUDENTS. of the football season. The election of officers resulted as follows: President, C. Harold Caulheldg Vice-President, james M. Sullivan, Sec- 60 IGNA TJAN , retary, john I. Schlappig Treasurer, Harold Ring, Manager Football, Robert L. Chambers, Manager Basketball, Harry L. Flood, Manager Track, james M. Sullivan, Manager Baseball, Vincent S. Brown, Yell Leaders, Edward M. O'Neill and Carl D. Lovotti. The athletic moderator, Mr. Thomas J. Flaherty, S. J., outlined the year's work in brief and then entered into some details on the football season. He exhorted the players to omit no means to put themselves into good condition for the schedule of games and the non-players to get out and root at all the contests. Now that we are a University, we have the brightest athletic prospects. All that we need is spirit and there is every indication that spirit will not be wanting this year. A football rally was held on Oct. 2 to start off the High School League. Speeches were made by Mr. Caulfield, the new President of the Student Body, Mr. V. Brown, the cap- tain of the varsity fifteen, and Mr. Flaherty, S. I., athletic director. A lusty yell practice followed the rally under the leadership of Mr. Thomas Foster. On Nov. 3, 1912, we were honored with a visit from his Eminence, John Cardinal Farley, accompanied by his Grace the Most Reverend Patrick W. Riordan CARDINAL and by Rt. Reverend Monsignor M. J. FART-EY'S VISIT- Lavelle, Vicar-General of New York, and Monsignor J. V. Lewis, the Car- dinal's Secretary. Gwing to his short stay in San Francisco the Cardinal was with us but a few moments. Moreover as it was Sunday, the students were unfortunately unable to attend the reception. We are sure that His Eminence would have been delighted to meet them, for everywhere it has been his proud boast that he is a -lesuits' boy --an alumnus of Fordham University. The Student Body, on its part, was eager to welcome the Cardinal to our city and to our Univer- sity, and to tender their most hearty wishes for that success 7 I I i UNIVERSITY NOTES 61 which God unstintedly lavishes upon his Elect. Though now in cramped and crowded quarters, we hope that when His Eminence again visits our city, we may be able to welcome him to our new, greater and grander University buildings that will in time crown Ignatian Heights. Thomas P. Ahern. ! Photo by Bushnell Athlvtim RUGBY. The past Rugby season, while not productive of victories, nevertheless serves as a good index of the calibre of the teams of future years. The varsity team will undoubtedly be stronger. Moreover the paucity of the games played was not conducive to developing team work. The High School team made a remarkable showing in all their games. Each game saw them facing teams outweighing them man for man. Yet the fighting spirit of the team carried it along through the season with a record that is far from poor. Next year, with most of the team back at school, we can safely say that it will take a great team indeed, to reap the scalp of St. Igna- tius High School. Whatever successes were attained by our teams in the past season were due in no small measure to the tireless efforts of the coaches. Day after day Coach Haley, ably assisted by Tommy Sheehan struggled to turn out a winner from the scanty material. The student body tenders Coaches Haley and Sheehan their thanks. VARSITY FOOTBALL. St. Ignatius 3-Hitchcock 3. The opening game of our Rugby season resulted in a deadlock with Hitchcock. As it was early in the season neither side displayed any superfluous class. St. Ignatius scored early in the first half when Heinie Flood carried the ball across for a try, which was not converted. For the remainder of the half our team contented themselves with keeping Hitchcock always on the defensive. No more scoring resulted. In the' middle of the second half, through the magnanimity of our captain, the visitors 64 IGNATIAN introduced an innovation in local Rugby circles, a coach- ing referee or a refereeing coach, it matters not. At all events the new official rapidly proved himself the best player upon the field and was instrumental in scoring a try for Hitchcock in the last minute of play. Aside from the work of the referee, or was it the coach, the game was uninteresting. St. Ignatius O-Alameda High 9. In their first game away from home, the varsity was defeated by Alameda High. VVeakened to a great extent, by the absence of several stellar performers, the team struggled gamely but in vain. Our forwards compared favorably with the opposition, but the Alameda back field proved too fast for our defense. Bruzzone in par- ticular shone for Alameda. Harrigan, Evans and McHugh upheld the honor of St. Ignatius. St. Ignatius 0-Santa Clara 25. Against a team which was beyond doubt the best fifteen upon the Coast, our varsity team went down to defeat by a score of 25-O. Sixteen of the Red and White's points were scored in the first half when the wind was in Santa Clara's favor. Tommy Ybarrandds boot gained many a yard for Santa Clara and the speedy work of Bob Flood and Curry were the chief factors in Santa Clara's success. The second half was more hotly contested, if possible. Flood, Momson and Curry did most of the scoring for the Mission town team. Heinie Flood again displayed his great kicking ability and saved his team on numerous occasions. Armstrong and O'Shea starred for St. Ignatius. As in the game with Alameda, our forwards displayed more class than the back field. The contest marked the opening of Santa Clara's- new football field. ATHLETICS 65 HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL. S. I. H. S. 3--Cogswell 8. The opening game of the A. A. L. resulted in a victory for Cogswell over our High School team. St. Ignatius, though not conceded a chance with Cogswell's heavier, more experienced team, surprised the opposition by scoring first after five minutes of play. Williamson carried the ball over. The team could not keep up their terrible pace and gradually Cogswell's class told. S. I. H. S. 3-Lowell 3. I The second game resulted in a tie with Lowell. At that the try secured by Lowell was a questionable one. After Lowell scored, the St. Ignatius team fought like the proverbial tigers, outplaying their opponents at every stage, until Collins, our sylph-like captain, plunged across the line for a try. No further scoring ensued. Feeney starred for S. I. H. S. S. I. H. S. 0-Lick 6. The third game ended with Lick on the long end of a 6-0 score. St. Ignatius' representatives played hard but, sad to relate, not hard enough. Williamson, Kessing and Capt. Collins distinguished themselves. The real sensation, however, was the playing of Feeney, the diminutive half-back of the Red and Blue. Mission High 0-S. I. H. S. 3. The closing game of our sub-league series resulted in a well-earned victory for our team. During the whole game Mission was kept on the run, or perhaps on the slide, for, gentle reader, the field was a trifle muddy. Be that as it may, our try was the direct result of a dribbling rush from the center of the field. Williamson carried the ball over, but the other fourteen members deserve just as much 66 IGNATIAN credit for making the try possible. Harry Strehl, for the iirst time in the season, played the game he is capable of playing. Feeney fought the whole Mission team literally and figuratively. The forWard's Work was spark- ling with class. Capt. Collins, Hickey, Murphy and Carrol played like veterans. In spite of the rather muddy field the team displayed a brand of Rugby, which, if furnished in all the other contests, would have put St. Ignatius High in possession of the sub-league champion- ship. BASKETBALL. Prospects of a first-class five to represent the Red and Blue are promising. Heinie Flood, Evans, Harrigan and Keating will form the nucleus of the team. In addition there is a wealth of promising candidates appearing for practice daily, so no trouble will be experienced in select- ing a team worthy of carrying the colors of St. Ignatius to victory. The high school team will have as its sole remaining veteran Campana at forward. The rest of the team must be built up from last year's substitutes. While the squad Will undoubtedly be light in weight, it is to be hoped that the members will make up for their loss in Weight by their skill in actual playing. The motto of the team will be quality, not quantity. VARSITY BASEBALL. Contrary to the precedent established in recent years the varsity will indulge in winter baseball. The team be- yond a doubt ranks with any university squad upon the Pacific Coast. Behind the bat We will have Bill Lasater, and to followers of amateur baseball, about the bay, that is enough said. Bill will have Jimmy Harrington for his understudy. The pitching staff will be the greatest factor in the team's play. Charley Sullivan will endeavor to dazzle the opponents with his slants. Dutch Reuther will be used ATHLETICS 67 for the benefit of opposing left-hand batters. Add to these joe Mouille and Tom Hickey and we have no rea- son to doubt but that S. I. U. box artists will class with any staff in the State. The infield will have a decidedly Brown aspect. The Warren of the species will guard the initial sackg Vin and George, neither brothers nor relations, will alternate around the keystone sack. Joe Giannini, the peer of col- lege third sackers, will ensnare the drives of the opposing sluggers. The outfield will have quantity as well as quality. Joe Dougherty, Clarke Varian, Lee Waymire, Jack Irilarry, Harold Caulfield and Tommy Rickey will chase the festive flies. Every man on the team is a hitter, so woe to our opponents' slab artists. ' St. Ignatius 8-Turkey Reds 3. The opening game of the winter schedule resulted in an easy victory for S. I. U. After the second inning, our sluggers found Pitcher Kelly of the invaders at will. joe Dougherty shook four luscious swats out of his system. Clark Varian was nearly as sick as Joe, being able to amass a paltry three bingles. Joe Giannini, our smiling leader, drove a board out of the right field stands with the bases densely populated. Charlie Sullivan fanned enough bat- ters to start a cyclone and was only rapped for five bin- gles. The team, in spite of the diam0nd's condition, went through the game without a boot. All in all, the result was entirely satisfactory to the team and to the rooters who were present in abundance. St. Ignatius 4-Barney Frankels 3. St. Ignatius made their record two straight at the ex- pense of the Barney Frankel team. The Frankels scored first in the opening spasm, but the Red and Blue warriors tied it up on two hits by Capt. Giannini and W. Brown. 1 J .qi , ',-'iw Pew w mv or.-f 1-.4 irgf ,n it 'nrfitii-Qr1fi1,Q' -M ' 9 af ,,,, ,V hr. ,wi-1:1-Nu 'X fI r 1.44 , 1 'f1P4fa.afl.f'-tw, ' gg-.1,t,.f-argmfln-ff., A ,.1,,'. r , A V.

In the tenth, the Red and Blue artists filled the bases and Coyne hit the next batter with the leather, forcing in the winning run. Dutch Reuther pitched a wonderful game for our varsity and engineered a classy double play on an attempted bunt: The infield worked like a machine and the whole team's showing augurs well for the future.
