Darrell W. Daly. Ellie Palate nf Ehuraiinn emh Smrial Ernnnmg WAS the most interesting building at the '-7 Exposition. On that point there is no doubt in th-e mind of anyone. It was commonly Q3 ,Q known as the Educational Building, but that was not the exact title, as only one-fourth , of it was educational. The Palace of Edu cation and Social Economy is the name the building properly goes by, thus giving wider scope for its various exhibits not all strictly educational. With regard to the first part of this title, we shall consider those exhibits which explain the vari- ous educational systems in vogue throughout the world. Under the second part comes man's moral and religious life. Some exhibits kept close to the topics indicated by these titles, but others wandered to such a distance as to require a twist of the imagination to apprehend their connection with them. There were some departments that treated the ques- tion so extravagantly that the people questioned the validity of their representation under that roof. Still the subject was too broad to draw a close line of demarcation, and conse- quently there were displays that were apparently irrelevant. We shall try to review, however, the most striking features recalled by this broad title. The main part of the building was taken up with the Educational section, including private displays, school and government exhibits. The Social Economy section included Religion, Moral Reform, and Medicine. The two latter sec- tions can be divided into those under private and those under governmental management. ' We shall first cast a glance at the educational section proper. The thing here primarily to be noted is this: of all theschool work exhibited in this sec- tion, we, the people of San Francisco, had not a place that we could point to with pride and say, There is the work of the San Francisco schools. There was not, for that matter, PALACE OF EDUCATION ll' 7 .rg even a California State exhibit other than through tliiyiiiedium of' motion pictures. But while these are suflicieiit, perhaps, for the quick survey of a subject, they are inadequate for the display of the work of a State. Other parts of the country, however, enjoyed in this respect a good representation. Smith's College, Boston, the St. Louis city schools 3 the Gary city schools, the States of Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Oregon, Wisconsin, Utah, Pennsylvania, New York, and Maryland all have much in common, and differ principally in their mode of presentation. Through them all runs the germ of the American Educational system. The last three States named were somewhat jejune in their real educational display. They dwelt chiefly on economic questions, and it was to ex- hibits of this character that their departments owed their prestige, for the latter subject lends itself very favorably to interesting presentation. The governments participating were our own United States in its department of education, China, japan, Argen- tine, and Uruguay. The first just mentioned gives us the work of the department, as well as does the extremely in- teresting exhibit from the Philippine Islands. Uncle Sam here did his Work in a manner it would be hard to improve upon. There was an excellent pictorial demonstration of agricultural education, in itself a mostinteresting subject, and the work of the Islands was so well arranged, and in- cluded excellent' topics that it left not much more to be desir Chinese gave us an example of what an educa- ' a ii ' liding should contain, and they were very consistent. Il allowed nothing which wash not conformable to school r f. and 'in this particular they certainly excelled. They us sample of every form of education in their country, including machine work and handiwork of every description. Under the latter is to be mentioned with very special interest the exhibit from the Zi-Ka-Wei orphanage at Shanghai. This exhibit is probably the most!-delightful display of its kind in the Exposition, Its antique lacquer screens and . QQ' -rr sh -'IL ' ' l me . 'I 34-Q 1- .,. . 4 1 ':- fa'-s. if- 1' 8 IGNATIAN paintings, its charming pagodas, its exceedingly well wrought Statuary, its most minutely and intricately carved pieces of furniture, and its oddities of every description, all these ren- dered the exhibit of the Jesuit orphanage of Zi-Ka-Wei of special value, and drew to the booths of this department a continuous stream of admiring visitors. Japan confined the greater part of her floor space to economic questions, and so hardly comes under this head. This void, however, was filled by Argentina? whose exhibit, although consisting almost entirely of pictures, was nevertheless a very comprehensive display. Uruguay gives an idea of its summer resorts to- gether with some information about its schools. We are done now with the educational exhibits properly so called. There remains to be considered the Religious dis- play, the medical outlay, and the moral reformers. The first topic just mentioned was treated in a very loud and egotisti- cal manner. It is almost to be wondered at why they didnlt allow most of these people to own a concession on the Zone and charge ten cents admission. Ridiculous, fantastic, and most inartistic banners and drawings were stuck up all around, and spoke so loud as to be grating on the nerves. After going through that quarter one felt relieved in step- ping out of its domains to examine some more quiet and instructive exhibit. And when one feels relief in retiring from a certain department it certainly is a very peculiar life exhibited there. On every side one needed to give but a few hasty glances to be convinced of the utter illusion and ignorance of the persons advocating these principles. What must there be in the poor mind of the person trying to prove that the earth is concave? Then the American Buddliisfifii society venerating the god Buddha 5 and the Theosophical society displaying chaits and pictures of enlarged angle- worms and microbes with the sign, What our thoughts look like. Taking pictures of or even trying to draw a purely spiritual thing is in itself enough to show their foolishness. But there was an oasis in this desert. After wandering PALACE OF EDUCATION 9 through all this wreckage of thought it was a quiet and ele- vating relief to come upon a modestly curtained booth where was displayed a replica of the chapel of Mary Immaculate which is soon to rise on the grounds of the Catholic Univer- sity at Washington. This reminded one of the quiet, yet superior and enlightened manner in which our Holy Mother the Church nestles right in the center of disbelief, sending out messengers and slowly but surely conquering the foe in a manner peculiar to her own, bequeathed to her by the Redeemer Himself. I said in the beginning that the department devoted to medicine could be divided into those exhibits handled by individual or private concerns, and those handled by the Government. Of the former we can include the Hook- Worm Cure exhibit, the Mouth Hygiene exhibit, the Amer- ican Medical Association's display, and two California tuber- cular exhibits. The Hookworm Cure exhibit was more or less repulsive according to the angle at which it was viewed. To those who enjoy such things it undoubtedly proved of keen interest. As to the Mouth Hygiene or Dentistry ex- hibit, of its very nature it proves interesting, and is of advantage to all, for who is there who has not had more or less trouble with his teeth? The American Medical Associa- tion devoted itself to making public the utterly false and extremely poisonous nature of our common patent medicines. They ridiculed and exposed every quack concern in the country. This proved most profitable to a multitude of the deceived. Now in our last step we shall consider those who have given us a demonstration of the public work being done in the prevention and cure of disease. The United States De- partment of Labor devoted a good deal of space to this question. The proper care of children was explained and demonstrated in a unique manner. Here, too, was shown the striking similarity between cakes of real chocolate, and those of painted or imitation chocolate. The people of the little 10 IGNATIAN island of Cuba set up an exhibit that treated of nothing else but of their up-to-date methods of exterminating disease- carrying insects and animals, together with models of their modern hospitals and sanatoriums. Japan gave us an excel- lent idea of its hygienic systems. But since mankind is prac- tically the same all over the world, so disease is common not only to these people, but to all peoples in more or less the same forms, and as all modern countries keep right in touch with every advance in science, we can see that these different exhibits owed their interest and attractiveness not so much to the different diseases drawn attention to, nor yet to their prevention or cure, but to the light in which the display was regarded. A Japanese looking over scenes famil- iar to him would enjoy that exhibit of japan much more than he would enjoy the work done by the United States on the same subject. So without dwelling longer on this par- ticular phase we shall consider those States of our country which gave us a comprehensive view of all their sociological activities. Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland laid out their systems in full. They explained their methods of handling the convicts, treating the insane, and caring for the sick. Massachusetts seemed to be very strong in every department. Pennsylvania excelled in its treatment of the tuberculosis and smallpox problems. New York was first rate in all, but particularly in its exposition of its methods in the prisons, and its mode 'of handling the insane. Mary- land dwelt on all in a vague and general manner. Touching this subject is the question brought up by the Child Labor Bureau, the Social Hygiene booth, and the Race Betterment exhibit. The Child Labor Bureau and the Race Betterment exhibit work for a stronger race physicallyg the Social Hy- giene booth is for physical improvement certainly, but it maintains that this can primarily be procured 'by a better training of the child morally. And it was this third depart? ment which touched the soul of the question. The others, PALACE OF EDUCATION 11 so long as they leave out the moral factor, grope in the dark and strike wildly at puppets. This, I think, is suflicient to give us a general idea of the value and worth of the Educational Building at the Expo- sition. There were many exhibits of keen interest, many of wholesome instruction. Some laid bare the dark depths of the nether side of life, others held high a bright and shining light of promise of better times to come. And if in certain departments truth was obscured, or even torn and rent asunder and strewn about in a general wreckage of thought, still the splendid work shown and the steady advance demon- strated in other quarters fully compensated for this unde- sirable and lamentable feature. The Palace of Education and Social Economy was a grand storehouse of instruction, and a great and world-wide collection of the methods and ideas f r h m i . 0 modem u an ty Eugcne Conway. Mbna Nature Speaks While wandering 'mid country scenes I spied a garden fair, I caught a gleam of Nature's sheen And stopped to linger there. Soft lilies white 'mid roses fair, Each decked with sparkling jewel Poured incense sweet on summer air To own a Master's rule.

Universally recognized as man's most audacious correction of nature's work, it was only fitting and proper that this achievement should receive a tribute worthy of its greatness. The people of San characteristic initiative, asked that they be allowed to assume this responsibility and Congress granted their request to the satisfaction of the whole nation. And now, thanks to San Francisco's progressiveness and courage, we have one of the most beautiful, one of the most popular, and one of the most successful expositions that will ever go clown in the pages of history. But despite the fact that we know from official state- ments and figures that our Exposition has attained a record before which all precedents pale and wither, there are some people who are of the opinion that the original purport and plans of the Exposition have been materially impaired as a result of the far-reaching effects of the present war. But from the viewpoint of those who have investigated the ques- tion, this opinion has absolutely no justification, and further- more, those who look into the facts find that the European war, cruel and destructive as it might be, has proved rather a benefit than a detriment to the Exposition in every partic- ular necessary to its completion and its ultimate success. In the first place let us consider the great numbers of people who leave here annually to spend the summer in Europe. It has always been so. The wealthier classes of the Eastern cities have always looked to Europe for their source of culture and amusement, and a trip to the Old VVorld is the very soul and stimulant of their ambition. In consequence of this tendency a season rarely passes which fails to draw thousands of our American people to the num- berless attractions of Europe. VVould the year 1915 prove THE WAR AND THE EXPOSITION 13 an exception? Would these people come to San Francisco in preference to Europe? I hardly think this could be ex- pected if there were at present no war in Europe. In the first place the Atlantic steamship rates would be at a mini- mum figure as a result of the possibility of increased Expo- sition travel from all points in the United States to San Francisco, This reduction would be made by the Steamship companies as a special inducement to draw these people to Europe. But where are these people now? Surely not in Europe. No, the war has diverted thousands of them from the Old World to San Francisco's lfVonderland, and they are right here now, spending their money and aiding the whole world in an effort to make the Exposition a fitting and worthy tribute to the gigantic task which it celebrates. To verify this statement it is only necessary to consult the record-breaking figures for railroad travel and hotel regis- tration, and in answer to those who claim that these Eastern visitors are in such a minority that they should not be con- sidered, it is only necessary to ask the question, Why were the American railroads spending thousands of dollars on their See America First propaganda? Simply because they realize the ever-increasing strength of the tendency of visiting Europe on the part of a large number of Easterners. Another important point to be noted in favor of our con- tention is this: The countries of Central and South Amer- ica, quick to realize the new alignment of trade following the war, have entered the Exposition with a vigor and a zeal that has surprised the whole world. Nations making little or no appropriations before the war are now spending thou- sands of dollars in order that they may have an unrivaled exhibit and a large representation to proclaim to the world their rapid strides in progressive commerce and industry. Do you think that this could have been possible if Germany and England had officially exhibited at the Fair? No. These nations, with their superior wealth and prestige, would have 14 IGNATIAN occupied the foremost places of dignity and honor, and the present success and enthusiasm of the Southern nations would have been impossible. The attitude taken by Argentine Re- public, for instance, bears out this statement. Before the war Argentine's appropriation was one million, but one week after the news had reached her of the war conditions in Europe it was increased to one million seven hundred thou- sand, and every other country not only in Central and South America but even the nations of japan and Holland fol- lowed her example. Another important point to be noted, however, is this: History shows that the nation in which a fair is held is the main factor in its support. The hundred million people of the United States are the people who are expected to make this Exposition a success, and we can see by our wonderful attendance figures that they are certainly sufficient. Conse- quently, foreign attendance has always been regarded as a mere accident, and it is acknowledged by experts that it comprises such a very small percentage of the total attend- ance that it should be entirely disregarded. But some, although they grant and admit that the Expo- sition has been an undreamed-of success in every particular, claim that it would be still more successful if Europe were now at peace. They contend that the foreign visitors would help to swell the attendance figures and that it would widen the racial scope of the Exposition. To this contention there is but one final and convincing answer: If the Exposition would be more successful if it were not for the war, why is it that the great Chicago and St. Louis expositions did not even approach the records set up by our Fair? Were there any wars or disturbances during these fairs? There was perfect peace and even better times then, You will notice, nevertheless, that the Chicago Exposition just cleared her debt and delinquent dividends about two years ago, and the St. Louis Exposition, though not quite as bad, may be THE WAR AND THE EXPOSITION 15 classed as a comparative failure. Where was the foreign attendance then? So we see that the war which at iirst cast a doubtful outlook on the Fair's future has turned out to be one of its greatest advantages and benefits. The construction of the Exposition was the only possible feature which could have been endangered by the European war, but fortunately the buildings were 90 per cent. completed at the outbreak of hostilities, and hence we must all agree that the Exposition owes a great part of its success to the benefits derived from the European war. But now there is an altogether different phase of this question, namely, the non-participation of Germany and Eng- land. This is a question which has caused many unthinking people to believe that the war has affected the Exposition in this way, but this is an unjustifiable mistake. As to Germany, her diplomats and newspapers made no secret of the fact that she was playing for tariff concessions from our Government, just as England and France did at the St. Louis Exposition, and when she failed to get them it was too late to officially exhibit, and, consequently, her non-participation is due to a mistake in diplomacy and not the war, as many people think. Regarding England, it is a well-known fact that she re- fused to participate because of the attitude of the United States on the tolls question, although Sir Edward Grey, Min- ister of Foreign Affairs, stated that England's non-participa- tion was owing to financial conditions. Furthermore, the Exposition did not include these nations among the partici- pants, even before the declaration of the war in Europe. At any rate, both England and Germany are well represented by individual exhibitors, and as the ultimate end of the Ex- position is educational, these business-like exhibits are the kind We need. It will be seen from the foregoing arguments how im- possible it is for a war in Europe to affect an undertaking 16 IGNATIAN like the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, and if the wonderful figures of 350,000 visitors in a single day can convince us, it shows how much a war can benefit such an undertaking, and we may be sure that the year 1915 will loom up with epochal greatness in the long roll-call of cen- turies, for while the demon of war swept over the battle- fields of Europe, plundering every evidence of human achievement in its bloody path, a staggering blow was being dealt in behalf of civilization by an Exposition held on the western shores of a nation over which the Dove of Peace still lingered-a proclamation to the world that happiness and peaceful pursuits still swayed the hearts of men.

Vincent W. Hallinan An fmrirntal illlgntrrg ACK REDDING came to an abrupt halt as 'H' -y he was about to ass unnoticed a pile of Yi - ir P l.-4? oriental rugs, which bore the placard, All goods on exhibit are for sale.'l A smile of exultation immediately overspread his coun- . ' tenance, but realizing that he must act with the utmost discretion, he assumed an air of semi-interest, and approached a nearby clerk. I see you have some new rugs, he remarked, as the ever attentive little Turk came forward to ascertain his wants. ' Yes sirf' replied the attendant, and some very fine ones too. VVou1dn't you like to look them over? All right, consented Redding, pretending to become deeply concerned in the excellencies and defects of the various rugs which the salesman hastened to display. Vlfhile the Turk was reciting the history of one particu- larly expensive and most exquisite piece of workman- ship he ventured to inquire when another new lot would be received. 'Q It is hard to say, answered the Turk, lending' empha- sis to the words by a shrug of his shoulders, but pretty soon, I think. A Having learned as much as he desired, Redding was anxious to be off, but realizing that a hasty departure would probably arouse the suspicions of the crafty Orien- tals, he lingered about for some time, and then, having sauntered carelessly out the entrance, hastened to board a Fadgl Auto Train. Now to the casual observer the actions of jack Redding might not have seemed in any way extraordinary, nor would they have been for a mere visitor, but he was more than this. He was a prominent member of the Expositions coterie of rubber heeled sleuths. Big John AN ORIENTAL MYSTERY 21 Redding was the title given him by his most intimate friends, and in these words he was indeed well described- six feet two in his stocking feet, with massive square shoulders and a well developed chest, Redding was prob- ably a physically perfect man. But you desire to know why he should be interested in the Turkish exhibit. Well, that is what I am about to tell. When the doors of the Turkish Building were thrown open to the ever curious public, only a few rugs were placed on display. As time went on, these oriental prod- ucts were sold with increasing regularity, and yet there was no record of any, other than the first shipment, having passed through the San Francisco Custom House. This finally came to the notice of the Exposition officials, who immediately proceeded to look into the matter. The affair was placed in the hands of the Exposition secret service squad, of which Redding was a member. The latter, being assigned to the case, posed as a collector of oriental goods, and under this guise spent much of his time around the Turkish Building in order to discover whether or not its stock was replenished. However, he was not the only one on ,such a mission, for Connors and Larkin, two other members of the squad who had frequently tried to get ahead of him, were also working on the case. Conse- quently you can readily imagine, after the information just gained, his haste in making his way to the chief's office in the Service Building. Arriving there, he at once re- ported what he had learnedg he had scarcely finished when in came Connors and Larkin with the same story. The chief, a rather uncommunicative type, made little comment on the subject, merely announcing that there would be a general council at nine o'clock the following morning. That night Redding sat in his room emitting massive clouds of smoke from his favorite meerschaum until the Wee small hours of the morning. Rugs were certainly being smuggled into the Exposition grounds, but how? 22 IGNATIAN That was the question that presented to him such a baffling problem. At last, however, a solution Hashed upon his mind, and the longer he considered it, the more positive he became that he had struck upon the correct theory. How simple it was after all, he thought, and wondered why it had not occurred to him before. Finally tired and brain-weary, he Hung himself upon the bed, to pass a few troubled hours in slumber, in which he saw giant-like Turks swarming over the Marina, and flinging out into the sea those who came to challenge their ad- vance. Nine o'clock found the whole force assembled at head- quarters, eager to hear what theories would be advanced. The chief took his customary position at his desk, and remarked that anyone should do so at once. a most grave manner sideration all evidence who had any suggestions to make, Immediately Connors arose and in stated that, after taking into con- at hand, he had come to the con- clusion that some vessel anchored in Yacht Harbor had been meeting incoming ships and receiving the rugs. Then, he explained, it has been an easy matter to transfer the goods from Yacht Harbor to the Turkish Building. Following these words a good deal of arguing on the likelihood of the theory took place. Finally silence was again restored, and Redding arose to chief. I can hardly agree with Mr. Connors he said, for it seems far more probable to rugs are being smuggled in from a ship in I address the theory, sir, me that the the channel under cover of darkness by Way of the Marina. Over the Marina! That's a good one, ridiculed Lar- kin, as several wiseacres around him began to scoff at Redding's explanation. I am rather inclined, spoke the chief to favor the idea of Mr. Connors, and therefore I wi'l appoint himself and several others to watch the vessels in Yacht Harborf' Thereupon the meeting broke up, with Connors smiling gleefully at the discomhture of Redding. AN ORIENTAL MYSTERY 23 Ten days later at the same hour, another meeting was held. Connors' Hgrini' of the previous occasion was con- spicuous by its absence, as Yacht Harbor had been most diligently shadowed without any startling revelationsg and notwithstanding another lot of rugs had mysteriously arrived at the Turkish Building. It was Redding's turn to laugh when the chief announced that, as Connors' solu- tion had proven incorrect, his theory would be given a trial. Thereupon the chief selected several men, including Redding, to guard the Marina between the hours of twelve and six a. m. Accordingly each night at the appointed hour, a little band of men made their way to the Marina, and there separated to patrol the shore until the first rays of daybreak should tint the sky in the east. Three nights were thus spent without anything out of the ordinary being discovered, but as long as no rugs were smuggled in they held out hopes for the ultimate suc- cess of their plans. Perseverance conquersf, if we are to believe the adage of our forefathers, and in this case it proved true, for at about three-thirty a. m. of the fourth night, a bright light was seen to flash three times out of the darkness. Immediately those on duty knew that there was a ship in the channel, from which a small boat would soon put off. In a few seconds a red light, in answer to this signal, was seen by the shore in the rear of the Cali- fornia Building, and it was surmised by the silent watchers who, by this time, had gathered together, that that was where the small boat would land. A few minutes later, as a rift in the clouds let forth the silvery rays of the hitherto hidden moon, they heard a rowboat grate upon the rocky beach at the point where the red light still shone out upon the silent waters. 22 if vk ik ak ak vi: Ik 211 jack Redding's heart beat fast with joyful expectancy as the revenue cutter slipped noiselessly out into San Fran- 24 IGNATIAN cisco Bay. On the day after the eventful night on which the smugglers' boat had been seen to come to shore, a meeting was held at which the chief decided to station a number of men out in the channel aboard the Government boat, in order to capture the ship of the law-breakers. Several nights had been spent in this manner without any gratifying results, but on one occasion something like a voice from above told Redding that the tide was about to change. The cutter made her way into the channel off the Exposition grounds, and there awaited developments. The hours passed slowly for those aboard, as the novelty of the affair had by this time worn off, and it was impos- sible for them to occupy themselves in any way, all the lights being extinguished, However, at two-fifty-live a. m., a thrill was sent through the little party as three flashes of light, not three hundred yards ahead of them, pierced the inky blackness. A few seconds later the red light was seen ashore, and those aboard the Government boat decided that it was time to act. Each man was armed with a revolver, and, as the cutter glided stealthily through the waters, they crowded to the bow, in order to get a first glimpse of their prey. At last the hull of a fair sized steamer, with no lights showing, loomed up ahead. This, indeed, was the long expected moment, and Redding felt a wave of pride sweep over him as everything that he had prophe- sied materialized. The cutter was just about to glide up alongside of her, when she suddenly shot out, heading for the Golden Gate. The captain of the Government boat, rather chagrined at having been discovered, immediately signaled for full speed ahead, and gave chase to the fleeing vessel. The rapid firing gun, mounted upon the forward deck, was brought into use, and several shells were sent crashing into her cabin. However, by this time, those aboard her seemed to have decided that a race for liberty would result unprofitably, for she slowed down and then AN ORIENTAL MYSTERY 25 lay to while the cutter drew alongside. One of the officers seized a megaphone and cried: Ahoy there on deck! At first there was no answer and then came over the side in the voice of a foreigner: What ees eet that you want? We'l1 let you know when we get up there, replied the employee of Uncle Sam, and then added, Drop us a lad- der. In a few seconds one came dangling down, and the entire party was soon on the deck of the steamer. There before them lay a pile of rugs, which evidently were to have been smuggled into the Exposition grounds that very night. What ees eet that you want? again inquired the cap- tain of the vessel in a most submissive tone. We'll just take you into San Francisco. replied the customs officer, displaying his insignia of office, and have you arrested for smuggling. That's all we want with you. Eet ees all one beeg meestakef' cried the excited little foreigner, as he paced up and down the deck, but I sup- pose I weel have to submit to your ordairsf' On the following day a quarrel with the officials of the Turkish Building took place. Accusation after accusation was fired back and forth between the two parties, and for a time all indications pointed to an ultimate breach be- tween them. The Turkish officials were threatened with being forced to close their exhibit palace and they, in turn, asserted that if anything of the sort were attempted, they would appeal to their Government for means of re- taliation. However, an agreement was finally reached, and friendly relations reestablished. Everything goes on at present as before, except that Uncle Sam assists the Turk- ish officials in landing their rugs. Dafwell VV. Daly. Eeautgka Flea T But yesterday a dream,-a dream come true To-day,-to-morrow .idle past. Thus Hew Thy brief career. The dream Was fair, but fairer still the gleam Of life that shone to make the vision real. Farewell to palace grand and castle wall! The fruit of fertile minds by hands must fall. No more shall flower meet In glassy lake its image sweet, Nor secrets of the morning dew reveal. No more shall fount in idle pleasure spray Its guarding water sprites the livelong day: No more shall spires above To blushing skies unfold their loveg Nor spreading domes their azure color steal. Ah! Woe, that thou must leave! For why should men Build up a kingdom to destroy again, And why my plaint in vain? Oh! Let each beauty there remain, While eyes can see and throbbing hearts can feel! Uh! Let a path still twine its graceful way Around each silv'ry lake in full arrayg While Howers sweetly fair Refresh with perfume mild the air, QL And stamp each hidden nook with Nature's seal. So heed my plea! Let castle stand and lake Remain, and each fair thing for Beauty's sake A Be left untouched, unshorn Of tinted grandeurs that adorn. So heed in Beauty's name my last appeal! Thos. H. Foster. Ghz Iiuritiratinn nf Brinking Mater ATER and air are indispensable for the sus- taining of the life process in animals. The limit of human endurance of conditions M D if h - - W ic prevent the consumption of water is probably about ten days. A daily allow- L!-Q ance is absolutely needed both in food and as drink. Hence the plentiful supply of this necessary chem- ical compound that was rated so long as an element. Na- ture is never prodigal but of water there is an abundance. I XJJ Y' ll tn 5? Yet our water supplies never furnish absolutely pure liquid. All the sources we dep-end upon derive their supplies directly or indirectly from the condensed moisture of the atmosphere. Rain or melted snow collects in lakes or passes to underground caverns to form wells. The following enu- meration of sources embraces all those we depend upon for drinking water: Rain water, surface water C such as ponds and riversj, ground water ffrorn rain held by the sub-soill. and deep collections called artesian water. By passing through the air or percolating through the ground all this water is contaminated, more or less, by sus- pended or dissolved material. Hence a supply of water may be rated as wholesome, or suspicious or dangerous accord- ing to the debris it carries. Spring water and that from deep wells is usually of good quality and is very palatable. Water from unpolluted streams and clgan stored rain water has not an attractive Havor. Surface water that has poured over cultivated land is always suspicious even if it has an agreeable taste. Rivers carrying sewageuj-and shallow wells are to be rated as dangerous until an analysis has proved the contrary. Polluted water may carry living organisms which will produce disease in the human body or it may contain sub- stances which will dispose a person to infection by depress- x . ff, -. 28 IGNATIAN ing the vigor. Again deep wells are likely to furnish water filled with dissolved mineral matter that renders it unfit for many household uses. This is hard water. As a supply of some twenty-five gallons a day for each individual must be provided and an equal amount is needed for animals and manufactures, engineers are seldom able to find an available supply of wholesome water large enough to fill the reservoirs of cities. In the Middle States rivers must be tapped yet all of them are polluted at some time with infectious matter. On the Eastern, and especially the Western, seaboard mountain streams are often available and the problem of purification is not so necessary nor expensive as when the rivers are concerned. The methods in use depend upon subsidence of debris, filtration of impurities or chemical treatment for the success- ful removal of dangerous substances, be they gases or or- ganisms or minerals. Polluted rivers will be purified in time by aquatic animals or plants and to a certain extent by the dissolved oxygen taken from the air. Living organisms which produce dis- ease are killed by direct exposure to sunlight. By one or all of these means of purification river water contaminated with sewage is rendered wholesome in the course of time. Thus the Mississippi, carrying the outfiow of the Chicago river, is purified before it reaches St. Louis-some 250 miles away. Filtering Plants. Filtering plants always have subsidence basins into which the water from the intake pours. VVater in motion will carry heavy debris with ease, as the carrying capacity increases enormously in proportion to the velocity of flow, but once arrested the debris falls by gravity and hence subsidence is both a cheap and effective process for the removal of undesirable material. The effect of light 5' ,. -yi PURIFICATION OF DRINKING WATER 29 and oxygen is considerable in a shallow basin. Twenty- four hours is sufficient time for keeping the raw water in these reservoirs if filtration is to follow. The filters are made of sand, charcoal, spongy iron, unglazed porcelain and like substances which will strain out particles from the passing water, which are too large to fioat through the interstices of the filterls medium. And debris that might pass will settle in the microscopic cavities between the grains of sand, or in the interstices of the charcoal. A gelatinous mat will form on the sand after some time which adds ,greatly to the efficiency of the filter. This gelatinous material is due to bacterial growth and produces the best effect when it descends from the surface into the body of the filtering layer of sand. Then silt and organisms are entrapped by its sticky layers as well as prevented from floating through unfilled spaces. Moreover, there is some oxidation of dissolved organic matter within the body of the filter. A well constructed layer of sand, allowed to age until the mat grows, will remove almost all the bacteria from raw water. Such filters are at least a quarter of an acre in area and are from three to four feet thick. The sand rests upon an additional foot of gravel of decreasing size, as it ascends from the drains. The grains of sand are about as large as the crystals of granulated sugar. The uniformity coefHcient and the effective size of the grains of sand are matters of detail which are never overlooked. Rapid Filtration. A bed of one acre will filter 3,000,000 gallons a day. This amount is considered too small and a method of rapid filtration has been devised. Nevertheless, the slow process is in use in the older cities of good size. It originated in England in 1830 and has been adopted ex- tensively on the Continent. The rapid filtration allows from four to twelve hours for sedimentation after the raw water is pumped from 30 IGNATIAN the intake. If it is turbid, coagulants are added, these form a math on the sand even without germ growth. The settling basins are deep and baffles are numerous. The layer of very coarse sand is but thirty inches thick and rests upon a bed of gravel laid on the porous pipes which act as drains. Fifty times the volume of water will pass through this filter than can be delivered by the older type. It costs New Orleans S600 a day to maintain, clean and air the filtering beds which deliver 40,000,000 gallons of good water from the turbid Mississippi. Chemical Treatment. Chemical treatment is needed to reduce the hardness of water,-a condition due to dissolved Calcium salts or like minerals. Lime is used in the Clarke process with success, on such water as is drawn, for example, from the chalk beds of England. Alum will be decomposed in impure water and yield a bulky jelly-like precipitate which falls slowly to the bottom. Hence this chemical is used to remove suspended and dissolved impurities and even coloring matter. One grain of Aluminum sulphate fthe Alumj added to a gal- lon of water will, after agitation and settling for twenty- four hours, render foul water so clean that it will remain clear for some time. This chemical is not a violent nor a cumulative poison, but it impairs the flavor of the treated water. Ozone has been used to disinfect water quickly. That an army might be provided with safe drinking Water special apparatus to apply ozone has been built for use in the iield. Iron sulphate and other chemicals have been used with advantage to render unwholesome water Ht for consumption. The most recent and by far the most effi- cient and convenient chemical treatment has been intro- duced by Vincent and Gaillard very recently. They use PURIFICATION OF DRINKING WATER 31 a compressed tablet containing Calcium hypochlorite and Sodium chloride. The amounts are very small but enough to liberate the few bubbles of Chlorine needed to disinfect a liter of water. Twenty minutes is the time required to purify the water and this is effected without altering the taste and quality. At present tablets are being distributed to the troops in the French army and their use will shortly become world-wide. All these methods are somewhat expensive, especially when millions of gallons of water must be purified, yet the gain in sanitation brings far greater returns in health and prevention of useless expenditures. What terrible effects may follow from infection of the drinking water can be illustrated by the epidemics which have devastated Europe in the past. In Hamburg the cholera appeared during 1892. In ten days over 17,000 out of a population of 600,000 were attacked and 50 per cent. died. If live thousand dollars is taken as the value of a human life to the community, the loss from the cholera outbreak would pay for most elaborate sanitation during a long time. Economy. The cost and economy of a modern filtration plant may be judged from that installed at Akron, Ohio, very re- cently. The system will supply a population of 200,000. The filters pass 20,000,000 gallons a day. This supply coupled with some improvements in the Fire Department reduced the classiflcation of the city from three-and-a-half to two, which saved in one year almost 340,000 in insur- ance premiums alone. The plant cost about 34,500,000 The Prohibition movement will foster expenditures of this kind so that water may serve for a universal beverage. For if alcohol spells death to him who consumes it, a like fate awaits any bacillus that is touched by it. Until the risk of typhoid has disappeared the use of a germicide like alcohol will have some justification. Robert K. PVhitc'. Zllrnm Baum tn Baum A lonely star, a moon forlorn, A dome, a spire that stands in scorn. A shroud of mist 1- The moon and star give way to morn. A minaret, a colonnade See early shadows slowly fade, Then lightly kissed By beams of mellow gold, They see the sun in grandeur rolled. Each fount awakes, each Hower shakes its dew, Each dome resumes its mystic hue, Each spire with banners all unfurled And portal wide invites the world! The shadows turn from west to east As eager eyes drink in the feast Of splendor piled By artist hands, and now increased, As velvet shades of sapphire blue Are splashed with gold, and every hue In color-wild Extravagance is bound, Till sky and earth and sight and sound Are weirdly mingled. Crimson fires Consume the sky, and lofty spires In glory rise above the sun. The shadows grow. The day is done. The stars creep out to Heck the sky, A silky cloud Hoats idly by. Like specters rise The massive walls, the towers high. The light is dim, the shadows twine With shade-But see! Like blazing pine, Before your eyes, Each tower looms,-a spring Of living beams, that reckless Hing Their shattered streaks, till courts are seas of light And every path a river bright That flows all brilliantly-and then A lull,-'tis dark 5-then dawn again. Thos. H. Foster A Glimpse nf Swan illranriarn Eng travelers have sailed through the beau- fv,.' tiful strait that leads into San Franciscds l4SW , beautiful harbor without keen admiration for its picturesque setting. This year of mg, 4 grace, nineteen hundied and fifteen, the Golden Gate has pre-eminently displayed its beauties to an admiring throng. Great liners have made it a goal for their maiden voyage, and the pleasure boats of the rich, come up from the South, have glided through its golden portals to find snug refuge within the harbor it guards from the storm. As the tourist enters the Golden Gate he is struck by the beauty of the scene before him. On either side rise pre- cipitous cliffs, those on the northern shore almost hiding the Marin hills-beautiful rolling hills which rise from restless waters in gentle slopes. Yet among these rough jagged cliffs and strange rock formations which seem to bar all further progress there are places where the surf comes rolling in Qin gentle surges that invite the bather: and again it dashes against the rocks in a manner to terrify the beholder. There are places where trees seem to cling to the very edge of sheer precipices, with the great rollers of the mighty deep dashing their salty spray against the rocks hundreds of feet below. When the steamer rounds Fort Point a fuller View of the bay is suddenly disclosed. just ahead lies grim Alcatraz with the purple hills of Berkeley rising hazy and indistinct beyond. To the left, nestled among the trees on the hillside and scattered along the shore, is the little town of Sausalito, with countless shiny-white yachts resting in its little harbor. On the right lies San Francisco with its tier upon tier of houses thrusting themselves up to the very top of Russian Hill and then spreading out gently beyond. Printed boldly against the grey of the city and lying at its 34 IGNA TIAN feet loom in proud array the classic lines of the buildings of the Exposition, Guilded turret and betlagged spire vie with one another in a riot of colors. Huge buildings rear their massive domes above the numerous courts, and the ever-sparkling Tower of Jewels lords it over all. As the steamer proceeds farther down the bay, brightly painted Italian fishing boats catch the eye, and though the motor is usually the propelling power, yet an occasional sail may still be seen. Then swinging a bit to the south the great docks and piers, indicating the metropolis of the West, are slowly passed, and the steamer lies to at the far-famed water- front of San Francisco. But if one wishes to view the bay at its best he must sail just as the sun is fast disappearing, and dusk is falling upon the waters. Leaving the harbor at this time of evening to put out through the Golden Gate the water before us sparkles and seems touched with gold in the last rays of the setting sun. The clouds above are changing into crimson robes, and the city is bathed in an orange glow. It grows gradually darker, and before we are out of the Gate the gleaming water dims into purple. Behind us twinkle th! lights of the city as they bob up one by one in the fast-falling night, and on one side glimmer the clustered lights of a ferry boat as it churns its solitary way across the bay. Fort Win- field Scott slips by to port, Point Bonita light blinks to star- boardg and before we are aware of it the Gate is passed. As far behind disappears the painted sky over the EX- position, and the last glimmering lights of San Francisco dip beneath the receding hills, far out to sea, on the rim of a purple ocean, the Farallones dream darkly relieved against the last crimson glow of a Western day.

A Cllhvminth Qlhrnnirle HEN the VXforld's Fair was becoming a fm reality and the anticipation of seeing its V452 wonders was a jo-y to the imagination few M K thought of combining instruction with the pleasures of a tour through the wonderful . exhibits. Yet such a profitable associating of the useful with the beautiful has been realized, and by none to better advan- tage than the students pursuing courses in Chemistry. During the Spring we commenced to vary the routine experiments of the laboratory by making the new experi- ment of viewing the Palaces of Mines, Machinery, Liberal Arts and Education in company with our professor. The first 'descent on the Fair consumed an entire day in roughly examining the exhibits marked for future study. It was found that a large number of students could not hear and see what was under discussion sufficiently well to banish the distractions surroundings fostered. Even a distant call from the Zone now and then saddened the pursuit of knowledge. 'So thereafter squads of students interested in certain lines met at a determined spot and then proceeded to the machinery or products marked for inspection. The Palace of Mines offered more advantages than the other buildings. There our attention was divided between the Government's exhibit and that of the U. S. Steel Cor- porationg although the minerals and methods of extrac- tion we saw in the Missouri, Idaho, Montana and other State exhibits were very instructive. VVe are indebted to Mr. H. L. Maurer of the Steel Cor- poration for many courteous services while studying the models and material his company displays. An entire afternoon is needed to see all the film that so A CHEMISTKS' CHRONICLE 37 beautifully tells the Story of Steel. Having looked at every diagram and felt every forging to our hearts' satis- faction we sat at the steel desk and registered our names and expressions of appreciation of this grand exhibit. Wliile Writing of steel I shall relate here what was seen in another building. Resting on the rich plush carpet that covers the Hoor of the Pennsylvania and the Mary- land Steel Company's reservation, we found the famous Kelly Converter that has made so much history by pro- ducing steel at a low cost. Belching forth flames which Hickered in the air blast, the great iron Crucible had little about it to attract notice, yet from it poured the metal produced by a process we usually call the Bessemer long before Sir Henry Besse- mer's converter was able to turn out a marketable steel. Mr. William Kelly, an American ironmaster in Ken- tucky, constructed the first pneumatic converter and made as good a quality of steel in 1847 as Bessemer made in 1855. As we stood round the historic machine listening to our professor tell the story of Kelly and the rise of the Billion Dollar Steel Trust a feeling of sadness came over us as We heard of the genius of Kelly who success- fully but unprofitably pioneered in the path in which Bessemer found, in later years, both Wealth and fame. The visit to the Mine occupied an entire morning. The lecture on Explosives given in our hall last April enabled us to appreciate the methods of using and storing blasting material under ground. The Work of the rescue crew, protected by oxygen-helmets was a novel demonstration. Their first aid methods we thought very practical for foot- ball players as Well as miners and they will be put in practice, very probably, more often on the side lines than in the mines some of us hope to own later. The day appointed for a visit to Tiffany's exhibit of precious stones Was one of the occasions on which the 38 IGNATIAN 'lmysterious manl' was to walk past the New York firm's display of jewels. Our investigators were consequently interrupted now and then by an anxious lady declaring in confident tones: You are the mysterious man. Twenty dollars awaited the woman who was the first to detect the mysterious visitor. The thought of all the linery that sum could purchase urged many a timid soul to pardon- able boldness. One Senior, of ample proportions, had to turn repeatedly from garnets and opals and amethysts to assure an inquirer that neither he nor all of us combined carried the ounce of gold the Fair officials declared the mysterious man to be worth. What has been related of our work in the Palace of Mines will serve as an outline of similar study in the other buildings where apparatus, raw material and finished products were to be seen. The samples of adulterated food exhibited by the Bureau of Chemistry, the specimens of diseased meat, the parasites, ,and the preparation of food stuffs to be seen in the Agricultural building, were examined many times and yet much remains that escaped careful notice. However, we have seen much, and if ever hours of study passed agreeably those spent at the great Fair de- serve the first place. But as there is no rose-without its thorn, we found the thorn on our scientific tours when we posed before a fountain amid fiowers, and held our brows firmly in the setting sun while a camera, that took good pictures before and since that afternoon, was trained on us. The light waves we reflected were either new to the lens or too in- tense for the film and the world will never know how one company of scientific men appeared after a day of toil spent in search of wisdom. Harry L. Flood. 0 Glnllvgr illlrmnrivn Our college memories! A delightful theme Paling the present in the brilliant gleam Of years gone by, never to come again, Blest by contentment, scarcely touched by pain. Those bubbling, breathless, merry, far-oif years Sacred to laughter, all unwet by tears. Some tears we shed, of course, but our dejection Doesn't fit well in banquet recollection. At banquets only pleasant truth is told- Toastmaster Stanz will toast me if I scold. And so I hail those glorious years now lost- I notice Bricca has his lingers crossed. Speaking of Bricca, I could tell a tale, A college memory that would make him quail. But no. I'm silent. He's a doctor staidg Yes, my own doctor--and my bill's not paid. Your pardon, gentlemen, I thought out loud: My bashful muse gets rattled in a crowd. Those thoughtless years, those years beyond compare That sped in joyousness and knew no care. Those glorious years-that glamorous yesterday- The happiest years of all- Or so we say. They had their griefs, but 'tis a thing abhorred To mention sorrow at the festal board. We drink at banquets just to drown our sorrow- I see some drowners who'll feel bad tomorrow! Don't look self-conscious, Mike, I know that you Can keep on drinking when the rest are through. Remember the night-but Mike, 'twixt you and me Thereis no use bringing back that memory. Where was I at? Oh, yes, now I recall: My subject was those happiest years of allg Those years of innocence when, unlike now, No smudge of naughtiness was on our browg ' 4 40 IGNATIAN When holy thought shone out through saintly eye, And all our hope was centered in the skyg VVhen lip scarce moved except in silent prayer, And youthful feet Walked up the golden stair. If some of this appear a bit far-fetched, Recall, at banquets truth is always stretched. Speaking of truth, there lies within my knowledge The memory of how 'twas stretched at college. Riley remembers well, when he was late, How he explained his tardiness. lt was great! With good excuses Stanz was always rifeg My, what a training for the legal life! But these are foolish memories, not fit For mention where so many padres sit. Why rake them up to waste your precious time? Besides, I'm quickly running out of rhyme. So let's be serious. Mocking words are vain. I crave your pardon while I try again. Our college memories! How the mind goes back, Drawing its train of thought along the track That taps the fruitful region of the past, Dear fancy's field of dreams that did not last. At first the way seems strange, the distance farg Vlfeire ill at ease in 1'nemory's speeding car. NVe peer at landmarks blurred and half-forgot, Striving to recollect we don't know what. VVe question names, we try to picture scenes VVell nigh obliterated from the screens Stored in the brain's old lumber room-the dust Thick on the windows and the hinges, rust. Who was that priest that once we loved so well? W'hat was the rhythm of the chapel bell? We fumble vainly for that classmate's name Once so exalted by collegiate fame. What was the year that dear old Soandso Played such a trick on Whatshisname-you know. Hang it, it seems like yesterday, but still COLLEGE MEMORIES I can't recall it, struggle as I will. But soon the outlook widens, on our sight Breaks the old sun in radiance warm and bright The rails are singing as we speed along, And wakened memory echoes back the song. VVith love at the throttle of the engine Truth Our train of thought is speeding back through Youth Look at the stations on the good old way- They're more than memories as we ride today Maraschi of the vision, he whose hand Builded our college on a waste of sand. His thought outstripped our city as it grew: They called it folly, but his thought was true. What of the others? just to speak each name Is to enrich our sacred scroll of fame. Smiling Coltelli, Neri, Shallo who Belied his name, he was so deep and true. Esthetic Varsi, Kenna kind but strong, And Calzia bowing low amid the throng. Simple Pinasco, Imoda the wise, And Demasini with his poet's eyes. Chiappa, Dossola, Tardella, three VVhose rippling names were framed for poetry And Allen who loved music, in whose ears Is sounding now the music of the spheres. Beware, ye spheres, of discord-one false beat And he'll be at you from his heavenly seat. Gentle Prelato of the saintly soul: VVe almost thought we saw his aureole. He walked in dreams of heaven, but his eye VVas keen for misery ere it passed him by. I-Iis life was charity, and thousands bless The hand that helped them rise from dire distress Long years he labored for the poor of Christ Till Providence decreed his Work sufficed. Inheaven I see him with a sainted band: Ignatius greets him, Xavier grasps his hand: 42 IGNATIAN Assisi smiles, then down the crystal hall Hastens with outstretched arms the great de Paul 'How fare the poor? the tender Vincent cries, And heavenly tears spring to Pre1ato's eyes. Thank God, we knew Prelato, for on high He's sure to speak for us when death draws nigh. Last in the roll, in glory far from least I hail as friend that splendid scholar-priest, That tow-er of intellect, that fire of zeal, That ardor flaming up to the ideal, That well of charity, those lips inspired, That energy no labor ever tired, That lofty mind which loathed the mean and base Yet held all science in its wide embrace, That heart of pity beating for mankind, Stern with himself but to all others kind, Evil he fought remorseless to the end, But each repenting sinner was his friendg He lived for right and spake it without fear In trumpet tones that pierced the dullest ear, Ruthless of bigotry, but full of ruth When bigots without malice sought the truth, Proud of his order, conscious of its worth, He walked erect among the men of earth, His level glance could not be overawed What time he did the service of his Lord, But in the chapel when he knelt at prayer, I say who saw him-none more humble there. He left our midst another field to till, Word came one day that mighty heart was still. We who had known him keenly envied those Who saw him smiling in his last repose. His name I scarce need mention, yet it serves To grace this tribute--less than he deserves. I deem it privilege to celebrate Noble John Frieden, giant 'mid the great. These are the dead that memory brings to mind, COLLEGE MEMORIES Their deeds and sayings in our hearts enshrined. They fought the good fight, died-but still they l1ve The life our treasured recollections give. Others there are that memory honors too- Around this board I notice quite a few. Among them two or three who went from school To learn the wisdom of the priestly rule. Of these I'll nothing say-Iyll not repeat Tales of the day when they were indiscreetg When they were just as human as the rest, Neglected study, made themselves a pest, Were whipped and sent to jug, were quite the same As pupils they today are trying to tame. And there are others, oldsters who survive- I wonder sometimes how they kept alive Through all the plaguing that they underwent When we were busy trying to invent New forms of torture for them. I appeal To Father Mahoney the secret to reveal. It seems strange, father, to behold you here After those stormy days of your career. A A miracle? But no! Were you a saint That might explain it, but we know you ain't. How did you stand us, father? No reply. I guess you were just too obstinate to die. And Father VVoods! How did you stick it out? With no worse damage than a touch of gout! As young tonight as when we came to know You first, and that was many years ago. You look well, father. Perhaps a little stout? But we're all for you. You're a good old scout. So are they all, the Jesuits we knew. God bless them every one, good men and true. Lift up your glasses to them. Here's a toast- The College Memories we cherish most! Edwafrd F. O'Day, Zllrmher illllrmnriea EV. ALBERT F. TRIVELLI, for four suc- cessful years our esteemed President, is with us no longer. The Jesuit Church at Missoula, Montana, now claims his devoted care and atten- tion. Here Fr. Trivelli is resting from the cares and responsibilities of college life. THE IGNATIAN takes this opportunity of extending to Fr. Trivelli its sincerest good Wishes. Pleasant are the memories connected with the name of Rev. John J. Ford, for so many years our beloved Vice-President and Director of Studies, and long will he be remembered by his many friends and admirers in San Francisco. Fr. Ford is engaged at Spokane in schooling the younger members of his Order in a sound system of Phil- osophyp THE IGNATIAN wishes Fr. Ford Well. His many friends throughout the city bemoan the loss of Rev. William H. Bennett, for many years instructor in the High School at St. Ignatius. It is Spokane likewise that is profiting by the presence of Fr. Bennett. Godspeed is our mes- sage to him. To Rev. Hubert J.

Ehiturial The year 1915 has brought many blessings to San Fran- cisco. Industrial peace, an important factor in any large community, has brought us prosperity and ARCHBISHOP points the way to progress. HANNA. But despite the many favors of this aus- picious year, the dark pall of sorrow has thrown its shroud over us- all. We have had the bitter dis- appointment of parting with the late revered Archbishop 46 IGNATIAN Riordan. Beloved by all who knew him, and who of Cali- fornia did not? our faithful friend was at last called to the Master he had served so well. Our late beloved Pastor leaves with a host of admiring friends the memory of a life unselfishly spent in the service of others. The dark clouds of deep disappointment were, however, destined to present their more than silvery lining in the person of Most Reverend Edward J. Hanna, D. D. A strong man mentally and physically, of engaging per- sonality, our new Archbishop has already endeared himself to Catholic and non-Catholic alike by his sterling qualities. We, the people of San Francisco, lovers of real merit, frown- ing on sham pretense, can point with pride to His Grace, Archbishop Hanna, as the brightest ornament of our West- ern Church. Now that Rome has said the word that changes the winter of our sorrow into glorious summer, loyal Westerners can view with complacency the fulfillment of Sir Gilbert Parker's prophecy, of a mighty world built around Pacific waters, secure in the possession of a man capable of leading us to the attainment of our ultimate end. 'DHE IGNATIAN prays God to spare Our Archbishop for a long life of happiness, laboring among the flock that already have grown to love him. Did you notice how quick and snappy everything started out at the beginning of the term? Every fellow had to dust his books off energetically and get right in- OUR side the cover of the nearest one to him. PRESIDENT- Our teams, too, have done us credit. Look down the columns of the sporting page and see what our football players have accomplished. Wait, how- ever, until basketball is in full swing and baseball looms up again-what a record we'll make! A certain stranger has remarked, By the way, what means this display of energy ? And the quick, joyful answer came, Why, Fr. Foote, that EDITORIAL 47 grand old philosopher and former student of St. Ignatius College, is now at the helm. Yes, our new President is certainly a man of whom we are all proud. Everywhere we go his name is mentioned with the swift remembrance of his venerable white hair and odd little glasses. And it is recalled by the graduates, his former pupils, how these odd little glasses he never likes to look through, but to look over rather, as the is used, to fix his luminous struggling scholar who is Worming about in position behind some one else. These and memories are recalled, and it is then that the sight on a gun on some poor his chair for a other pleasant graduates real- yet stern gaze ize how promising is our outlook for the future. The motto of our new President runs something like this: Be sociable, be studious, be systematic, and if we look up to him We see these three virtues embodied in his mode of life. His sociability takes its which he is a living exampleg the learned philosopher and system lives and breathes in versity. We offer, therefore, source in Christian charity of his studiousness has made him writer we all know: and his every department of the Uni- to Fr. Foote, our new Presi- dent, our heartfelt felicitations, and we congratulate our- selves sincerely that such a man as he is to rule over the destinies of St. Ignatius. Only a few months and the glorious splendors of the Ex- position shall fade away, to cling like a beautiful vision on memory's mellow vine. THE How little we of San Francisco realize, EXPOSITION. that, from our careless grasp, is slowly slip- ping the one grand opportunity to preserve for future generations, at least some of the priceless relics of art and industrial achievement, the Exposition, our Exposi- tion affords us. In spite of the many obstacles in our way, we of San Francisco have reared a monument, at once unsurpassed in 48 IGNATIAN the beauty of its conception and unrivaled in the magnitude of its undertaking, to the vigor and enterprise of a city that could not be conquered. We provided for the world, during one of the most destructive wars in history, a beautiful and convincing demonstration of the progress to be attained by peaceful pursuits. We should bear in mind that this Exposition shall ring down the ages as one of the most notable achievements in an era of almost universal retrogression. Can we afford to let pass unnoticed this rare opportuni-ty of preserving at least some reminder of this colossal enterprise? Let us therefore mount again the waves of civic pride and determine as far as we and the Exposition are con- cerned that a thing of beauty, preserved forever, is a joy forever. I Q-P r Kffiisgas-: l E - Jw , - '22 E' if Ev V, g 'V niuvraitg nina Beginning with a registration that gave the best illustra- tion of the strength of the Law School, the semester has been rounded out with as much work ac- THE COLLEGE complished and as much honor attained as OF LAW- could be well expected. That famous body of the students, the Philalethic Debating Society, which becomes more weighted with tradition and honor each session, has had a larger attendance than ever before in its history. Since in this forum are discussed the most complicated economic questions with a tendency to keep to the legal phases, it might be said that under the direction of the moderator, Rev. Fr. D. I. Mahoney, S. J., whose forensic ability is well known throughout Northern California, the society has been one of the most practical institutions in the College. lt has been intimated by those in authority that debating may become compulsory. The opening of the Moot court beginning February is awaited with keen interest, being a most enjoyable step for our com- ing barristers to the court of the people. The class organizations are now well under way, and hopes are entertained that the banquet of last summer will have a repetition next season. The memory of that repast will glide down the course of years for many a decade. as a most pleasant and enjoyable occasion. The large roll-call has excited much comment this year, and is a high compliment to our faculty, whose conscientious work deserves more than a vote of thanks from us. The only change, this session, is the substitution of Rev. Fr. D. J. Kavanagh, S. J., as Professor of Philosophy, in the place of Rev. Fr. P. Foote, S. I., who is now President of the University. The basketball and running squads are now in action. and notice is given to every law student that he is eligible 50 IGNATIAN to these departments, and is exhorted to join them. It is considered that the pleasure and health resulting is of the greatest aid to the pursuit of his studies. By the desire of the Board of Directors the meeting of the Associated Law Students was postponed until February, as we will then have the quantity and quality of students. We need but the third member of the triumvirate of suc- cess, the spirit of pulling-together. A brilliant field is in store for us this coming semester if we nail to our good ship the Hag, mottoed: In union, strengthg in division, nothing. The Engineering Department has successfully begun its fourth year under the able direction of Professor E. Owen McCann. The Exposition has af- THE ENGINEERING forded the engineers many oppor- DEPARTMENT- tunities to become acquainted with the most recent progress in their prospective profession. They have made several trips to the Fair on their holidays, accompanied by their professor and a large number of students from the other departments. Dur- ing the week beginning September 20 the students of the three upper classes were excused from attendance at the University so that they could be present at the sessions of the International Engineering Congress, which were held in the Civic Center Auditorium. The Philalethic Debating Society is at present in the midst of the most active sessions that it has experienced since its institution four years ago. THE PHII-ALETHIC An enlarged enrollment at the Col- DEBATING SOCIETY- lege of Law has had its proportion- ate effect upon the society, over forty students now being on the roll as participants. The debates this year have shown a deep and earnest preparation and what is especially noteworthy Cto borrow an athletic expressionj a world of pep, The war in Europe has UNIVERSITY NOTES 51 been a prolific source of topics and on several occasions these bloodless battles of words have resembled in minia- ture the European conHict. The faculty of the University has again this year taken an active interest in promoting the art of debate, and has impressed the members of the College of Law with the practical advantages to be de- rived from a training that teaches one to talk with vigor and precision, and to think clearly and accurately. It is sincerely to be hoped that even more of the down town college will realize the futility of a cold-storage knowl- edge of law, and will appreciate the fact that a legal train- ing is useless unless it is practical, and that one of the essential elements that will make that education practical is the power of clearly, forcibly, and logically presenting argumentation. The S. P. D. S. has more than benefited by the spirit of enthusiasm which now reigns at St. Ignatius. Under the direction of Rev. Father Morton, THE SENIOR SJ., the society is progressing rap- PHILHISTORIAN idly and many of the younger mem- DEBATING bers already show a surprising pro- SOCIETY- ficiency in the forensic art. The prospects of a debate with Santa Clara, which will take place as soon as arrangements can be made, serves as a stimulant for persevering effort. As both colleges possess some excellent debaters this event should prove of great interest to the many friends of both institutions.

James Ward At the meeting held on September 27 a promising class of candidates was initiated. They are already taking a keen interest in the society and they are manifesting this interest in a very practical way by the efforts they are putting forth in debate. In addition to its forensic activities the society is now preparing for a play which will be staged at the annual foot- ball show. The society is likewise interested in a trial which will be run off somewhere around the latter part of Decem- ber. One of its members had committed a misdemeanor, was fined by the Sergeant-at-Arms, but protested the fine as unjust, whereupon it was decided by the society that he be duly tried in a court of justice made up of its own mem- bers. The Associated Students of St. Ignatius University started upon the new year with an enthusiastic meeting in the basketball court on Monday afternoon, THE ASSOCIATED Sept. 6. Our Athletic Dir-ector, Mr. STUDENTS- Thomas I. Flaherty, SI., presided and in his address to the members announced that the business of the session was the election UNIVERSITY NOTES 53 of officers. The results of the balloting are as follows: President ......................... T. Paul Ahern Secretary .... .......... S tanley T. Burns Treasurer ..... ..... I . Frederick McDonald Yell Leader ................... Louis J. Gallagher During the summer vacation the Director appointed Warren W. Brown, Graduate Manager, and chose as his assistant Robert K. White, '17, At the close of the football season Mr. Brown accepted a position in Los Angeles and in consequence was obliged to resign from the office of man- ager. His duties have been taken up by Mr. White. The second meeting took the form of a rally in prepa- ration for the basketball season. The enthusiasm created by the brilliant success of the football team was very .much in evidence. In a few words the President asked that all show this enthusiasm in a practical way by working for the suc- cess of basketball. He was followed by our coach, Mr. Nill, who spoke at length upon our bright prospects in this sport, and issued an urgent call for candidates for the team. The High School student body has this year formed it- self into a regular organization with officers and members separate from the Collegiate depart- ASSOCIATED ment. At its Hrst meeting, held STUDENTS Wednesday, Sept. 8, with Peter M. CHIGH SCHOOLJ- Dunne, S.

At the rehearsals held every Tuesday evening ORCHESTRA a marked improvement has been noticed, and AND BAND. the high character of the selections played prove the efficiency of this department. But Fr. Cunningham's ambitious endeavors have reached out still further. He has called into being a band and with the able assistance of Professor Austin M. Morris, from the discordant elements of many a horn he is gradually evoking a marvelous harmony. The band practices every Wednes- day and Friday evening, and is rapidly rounding into unison. The members of the class of Second High B enjoyed the outing of their lives on Thursday, October 28, one of the finest days we have had this fall. Members of PICNICS- the class provided machines, and at 8 a. m. a happy crowd of boys was motoring down the peninsula bound for Woodside, that enchanting spot nestled among the foothills of Redwood City. Football, baseball, swimming and racing were the order of the day. It was a tired but happy crowd of boys that returned up the peninsula that evening under the glow of a rich Indian-summer sunset. This wholesome example was followed a couple of weeks later by the class of Second High A. On Thursday, Novem- ber ll, this class motored down to the same favorite spot, and spent a delightful day in sports of all kinds. The enjoy- ment increased as the day waned, for the evening was spent at the home of Alex Young, a member of the class, where the boys dined and passed many pleasant hours. ' IN MEMORIAM On the morning of October 21 the students of the Uni- versity were inexpressibly shocked and grieved to learn of the sad accident which had befallen our fellow student Leonard Davis on the previous evening. As he was returning home from the Olympic Club he was struck down by an automobile IN MEMORIAM 55 and suffered injuries which caused his death several hours later. The I'natian takes this opportunity to extend in the name of all the students of St. Ignatius its sincerest sympathy to his parents and relatives in their hour of grief. The following resolutions were adopted by the First Year of High School, of which our departed fellow student was a member: WHEREAS, God in His infinite wisdom, who always loves us, and who acts for our best interests, has deigned to call to Himself our dear friend and beloved classmate, Leonard Davis, in a manner which has affected us more than words can express, and WHEREAS, He has left the memory of his gentle manli- ness and kindness, his whole-hearted earnestness and devo- tion, his real goodness more fresh with us on account of his sudden call, and WHEREAS, Our duty towards our departed fellow-student, and our sincere sympathy towards his heart-broken parents, and real Christian charity require that we be mindful of him as well as we can, therefore be it RESOLVED, That we, the students of the first year of Saint Ignatius High School, realizing the great sorrow in which the death of our lamented classmate must have left his parents and relatives, and wishing as far as lies in our power to soften their grief, do hereby take this means of offering our condolence in their sad affliction and of letting them know that we sincerely hope that God, in His mercy, will give them the strength to bravely bear this trial 3 and be it further RESOLVED, That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the parents of our departed friend, and that they be printed in the next issue of the Ignatian. FIRST YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL, SAINT IGNATIUS UNIVERSITY, October 22, 1915 Thomas P. Ahern. Exrhungez Up from the South come interest, fun and art in the November number of the Stanford Sequoia. There are r interesting articles on the unique athletic sit- STANFORD nation of this football season, and the Car- SEQUOIA. dinals new-found opponent undergoesia keen and thorough examination in the first pages of the magazine. Fun follows fast upon interest, and The Squizzy Feeling squeezes out many a laughg one just misses the particularly loud and prolonged guffaw at the end to finish matters up. In the realm of art the poem Solitude', stands high, and in such lines as these: The low, Aeolian murmur of a stream, And shimmering pools in fairy stillness bound, Whose magic depths reliect the violet's dream 5 one is reminded of the musical Keats or the ethereal Shelley. The October number of the Redwood as usual is up to the standard both in its poetry and prose. The article 'fAre the Dark Ages justly So Called ? is written REDWOOD. in' a very interesting style and at the same time is highly instructive. The poem entitled The Prince of the Church, dedicated to His Grace Arch- bishop Hanna, is beautiful in diction and contains the sen- timents of the whole Catholic community. The other stories and poems also are very worthy reading matter. Between its neat gray cover are contained some of the best literature that appeared in its many editions to date. Americanism, written and delivered by Dr. HOLY John Duggan, '80, is a powerful appeal for the CROSS co-operation of everybody to put aside all racial PURPLE. and religious prejudices and stand united to up- hold the precious freedom which the soldiers of the Revolution died for. EXCHANGES 57 Sporting Blood is a good story, showing the true char- acter of an American boy. Estelle, a seashore idyll, is a clever poem both in humor and diction of verse. We were indeed glad to see a new magazine upon our table, namely Lumina,'l from St. Ignatius College in Cleve- land. For its first appearance it deserves un- LUMINA. limited praise because of its fine articles and the manner in which it is bound and published. And it is up to the standard of any college publication. A Deal in Oilu is a good short storyg its plot is easily followed and the dialogue is very well sustained. Moans from the Timber is written in a rather comic style, but still is forceful in its arguments, showing the city man that the frmer's life is not to be envied. After the Battleu is a poem Vivid in its description of the wounded soldiers left upon the field of battle with none to ease their suffering. The style in which it is written gives a solemn rhythm which fits the theme. Many of the other poems and stories are well worth men- tioning, but space does not permit. Here's wishing Lumina', success and a long life! We gratefully acknowledge receipt of the following mag- azines: Viatorian,', Fordham Monthly, The Exponent, Pacific Star, Marquette Journal, The Campion, The Yale Literary, Randolph Macon Monthly, Martian, Creighton Chronicle, William 8: Mary, Symposium, Solanian,,' Mills College Magazine, Gonzaga and Saint Vincent College Journal.

I x ':,.. za-,F 'C '4-5.e...:L-',-- ., 5, p Alumni On Thursday evening, October 7th, a business meeting of the Alumni Association of the University was held at Jules' for the purpose of electing officers and appointing a date for the regular meeting. The following officers were elected to serve the ensuing term: President ........ ...... L ouis X. Ryan, '01 Vice-President ,......... Robert E. Rossi, '08 Treasurer ...... .... I-I . Edward Chambers, '12 Secretary ............. Charles P. Knights, '12 After various matters of importance had been discussed, and the tasty victuals, for which jules' is famous, dispensed with, the members adjourned until the regular meeting on November 18th. It is a noteworthy and refreshing fact that, year by year, former students of the University are attaining '81 greater prominence in the political Held. Amongst these, most notable of all is Hon. James D. Phelan, '81. Mr. Phelan's re-entry into the field of politics was most auspicious, and his election to the high office of United States Senator was the cause of great rejoicing on the part of all connected with the University. We sincerely hope that in applying his characteristic energy to the solution of the momentous problems which will confront Congress, Mr, Phelan will share his full meed of praise, and will shed further glory on the University he has reflected such honor upon in the past. In the local political Held, quite a few of the old boys of the University were actively engaged during the '94 strenuous campaign just closed. Amongst the newly elected candidates appears the name of Timothy I. Fitzpatrick, our new police judge. Tim is a former stu- dent and we take pleasure in congratulating him upon his f xi. ALUMNI 59 success, and hope that his administration of the office will bring no end of honor to his name and to that of the University. The happy time has at last arrived when we can number among our alumni the graduates of our law department. Our law school has established a high standard of efficiency and thoroughness, and it is certain that this standard will be reflected by the success which the future will undoubtedly bestow upon our graduates. In following the vital profes- sion of law, a complete, efficient training is a most essential foundation, and we hold our law department second to none with respect to such foundation. Already several of our June graduates have been received into the bosom of the local practice and are eagerly pursuing the noble art of con- vincing sage judge and impartial jury. Notable among these is Francis P. Buckley, ill. Mr. Buckley, until recently, was engaged in introducing '13 the budding youths of the high school to the essentials of Latin and the other mysteries which are the bane of high school life, and if his success as an instructor as well as a public speaker and debater is a fair criterion, we deem the time not far distant when Francis P. Buck- ley will be numbered among the big legal men of the city. Joseph L. Sweeney, '08, is another of our newly-made barristers who has seen service as an instructor at the '08 college. Mr. Sweeney is at present engaged in dis- charging the important duties of the secretary of the Civil Service Commission, a position for which he quali- fied by a very high standing some time ago. It is with greatest pleasure that we learn of the admis- sion to the bar, in the recent examinations, of one of '13 Alma Mater's most loyal sons. C. Harold Caulfield, who entered the department of law upon his gradua- tion from the University, is now a bona fide attorney. Success to you, Harold! 60 IGNATIAN Many others of our alumni are numbered among the stu- dents of the law department, and we know that '13'14 the foundation laid during the years at the Uni- versity will prove to be a mighty support in the construction of a complete legal training. Ray- mond T. Feely is completing his law studies this term, meanwhile imparting rudimentary knowledge to the boisterous grammar school youngsters. Vincent S. Brown is another alumnus who is assiduously imbibing Blackstone by night. Not all of our alumni have answered the call to battle in the strife for worldly honor and achievement. Quite a num- ber have answered that higher call, that muster of Christ's forces to serve in the great battle for human salvation, and for a reward far greater than mundane honor and glory. On Tuesday, June 15, at Saint Mary's Cathedral, John P. Buckley, '09, was ordained priest by His Grace '09 Archbishop Hanna. The newly-ordained alumnus said his first Mass the same morning at ll o'clock at St. Brigid's, his former parish church, and on the fol- lowing Sunday, june 27, the celebration of the Feast of St. Aloysius, sang solemn high Mass at St. Ignatius Church. Father Buckley is to be congratulated upon attaining the cherished elevation to the priesthood, and we hope that his success in the spiritual field will be unbounded. Father Buckley is at present located at Sacred Heart parish, in Oakland. Great was the dismay of the students upon returning this semester, when they learned that one of our best-loved '07 instructors was no longer in our midst. Four years we benefited by the tireless efforts of John A Len- non, SJ., A. B., '07, in whatever activities the University engaged. In-studies, in athletics, in all student affairs, he was ever a most energetic worker, and We learned to de- pend on him, yea to love him as a pal. The students of ALUMNI 61 the University owe Mr. Lennon a debt of gratitude, and realizing this, they unite in wishing him every success in his new avo-cation. Mr. Lennon is at present studying philosophy in Spokane, but that his heart is still with his Alma Mater is manifested by his constant communication with the students. Joseph Crowley, S.J. A. B., '05, who taught at Santa Clara for four years, is now studying theology at St. '05 Louis University, and will attain the coveted eleva- tion to the priesthood in three years. We were particularly pleased to note the large gathering of Alumni at the football rally held on October 28th, the eve of our big gameg and although this has been mentioned under the athletic notes, it deserves special mention here. Among those who enjoyed a pleasant and spirited evening were: Edward Luby, James McNamara, Louis Ryan, Rob Ryan, Joe Murphy, Stan Riley, Ed Chambers, Charlie Knights, Harold Caulfield, Ed 0'Neil, Al Cleary, Raleigh Kelly, Adrian Buckley, Rob Rossi, Constantine Bricca, Everett Carreras, Rob Tobin, Bill Lafferty, Dick O'KeeiTe, Richard Doolan, Jimmie Harrington, Charlie Schott, Ed Foley, Emil Hoff- man and Frank Lessmann. Some were not able to get out to the smoker, but these didn't allow business to keep them from the game the follow- ing afternoon. Among others Ben McKinley, John Whelan, Michael Buckley, Leo Lennon and Williaiii Golden had the pleasure 'of cheering the boys on to victory.

Offhand we can cite the fact of a life-size exposition, a child's size ditto, one or two first-class murders, a world war and the prospect of a new boss in the White House. How- ever, be that as it may, and all else to the contrary notwith- standing, we have had the exquisite pleasure of an honest-to- goodness football team this past season. As far as the other events are concerned, they are not on our schedule. Hark- ing back to the football situation, one notices that when the moth balls were called into service for the knickers and jerseys our Varsity were undisputed Rugby champions of San Francisco, and had wiped out a score of several years' stand- ing with the College of Pacific of San Jose. From the view- point of a close student of the Varsity teams, both present and past, three things are most noticeable in the season just closed. Some of our prize athletes managed to shake off some of the don't-care-whether-I-do-or-not spirit and put up the game they were really capable of displaying. Some of the new men developed into real finds, However, the out- standing feature of the rugby season was the generalship, the perseverance and the iron grip of Coach Nill. That gentleman had the twenty or more athletes under his strict supervision, and from the look of things that was just what the boys needed. If one thing more than another caused our rugby team to show some life, we can safely say that it was the new discipline inaugurated by Coach Nill. Varsity 35 Stanford Freshmen 3. The opening engagement of the 1915 season was played down on the farm. With a matter of about a week's prac- tice, the Varsity played some very good football, some medi- ocre and some that the National Board of Censors will not allow us to mention. In the course of the excitement Wil- A THLETICS 63 liamson carried the ball over the Freshman line, thereby gaining for himself much glory and for his club some three points. He failed to convert the try, however. The Varsity plugged along through the first half like champions, and fol- lowed this up by a startling display of pepper in the begin- ning of the second half. In fact, the game looked to be in our hip pockets long before the finish. Then like good union men the boys decided that when the whistle blew for the end of the second half it was time to leave. One of the Freshman in his hurry to leave the field seized the ball and started in the wrong direction for the gate. When he realized his mistake he was already across our line, and his teammates were so surprised at finding him there that they couldn't kick the goal. We forgot to mention that the ball was still in play when the whistle blew, or the gun was fired, or somebody yelled, or something. The work of Dewey at full was bordering on the spectacular. O'Neill, in his first game of rugby. showed considerable speed. Varsity 53 Stanford Second 8. Unlike our first appearance on the Stanford turf, we re- tired from the scene of battle with a few glooms hovering over us. The bright particular feature of the game was the ability of some of our more or less stellar performers to do the wrong thing at the right time, and vice versa. Somebody scored a try for us in the midst of general confusion around the Stanford line. We were too far away to seep in fact, we were in San Francisco at the time. However, Williamson converted. Unfortunately Stanford managed to shove an- other man across the line before time was called, and the mere fact that he had the ball under him when the coroner's jury arrived was enough to decide in his favor. The Varsity showed more football than on the first appearance, the work of the back field being noticeable. Rough edges were smoothed away during the two weeks' practice. and those that were left were kicked off by the savage onslaught of the fif- teen huskies, from Stanford. 64 IGNATIAN Varsity 8 3 Olympic Club 3. In the shadow of Lone Mountain, though on a different side than usual, the Varsity met and summarily walloped the Post Street Club for the first time in our history. In fact, the beating was so genuine that one of the O. C. forwards was too surprised to try to stop some of our men as they whizzed by. Early in the struggle Morrissey grabbed the leather out of the atmosphere and trampled over several yards of turf, a couple of O. C. ruggers, and finally the O. C. line for a try. Williamson converted. Later on, after playing a varied assortment of rings around the Club team, Terry Boyle, a glory to the name, stepped over the chalk marks after the manner popularized by Arthur Duify, How- ard Drew, et al., and planted the ball behind the Club line. The O. C. forwards after some considerable effort managed to drag the ball and most of our team over the line for their lone try. In the course of the afternoon's pastime Fat Harrigan, Capt. McHugh, and Maroevich were in evidence just a little too often for the peace and good-will of the O. C. team. ln the back Held, Larrecou, of the raven locks, smote the line with a will and gained much territory for his team and much ill-will for himself from the hands of the enemy. Varsity 343 Barbarians 0. Our final contest for the superiority of the San Francisco Rugby situation was more or less of a good-natured slaugh- ter, if such a thing can be imagined. The Varsity would rush the ball across the Barbs' line, Mr, Williamson would try for a shot at the goal, everyone would take a long breath, and then start again. Maroevich scored a few times for the edification of the assembled multitude. Terry Boyle cantered over. So did Evans. Flood likewise. Williamson concurred. And all the time the rest of the team were en- joying themselves running up and down the field through the Barbarians and across their line while the assembled ATHLETICS 65 c1'owd shouted themselves hoarse with fiendish glee. For a game upon which a championship title hinged, the affair was a regular Keystone comedy with all the trimmings. From the Barbarians' viewpoint the aftemoon was clear and rather cold, there was a lot of dirt on the ground when the game started and a lot on the Barbs when it finished, and finally the score could have been worse. In fact, on two separate and distinct occasions members of the Varsity found the going so easy that they neglected to stop within the limits prescribed by Hoyle, and two perfectly good scores were thrown out. Varsity 05 Santa Clara 24. Our ancient enemy from down the valley rose up in their might and smote us hip and thigh. And yet it was not al- ways thus. For some ten minutes or more the howl of I-Iold 'em, Santa Clara, filled the air, and it wasn't our few rooters who were yelling. On exactly four occasions one member of our confraternity wandered across the Santa Clara line, but in the excitement forgot completely that in order to register a score one must carry the ball also. In fact, the breaks of the game were so much against us, that the sporting correspondent of this journal was forced to re- tire from the vicinity of several of the good Fathers in order to adequately express his opinion. Varsity 165 College of Pacific 3. Our HBIG GAMEH was a glorious wind-up for a glorious season. The Varsity handled the C. P. aggregation just as they handled most of their opponents in the season just closed-without mercy. The hero of the contest, the name which shall go down to posterity as the star of the first Big Game in which a St. Ignatius Rugby team has been returned a victor, is Terry Boyle. Terry was all over the field, scored two tries, tackled sundry Pacific gentry when they were get- ting too promiscuous, roused the rest of the club to a fever pitch, and of the fifteen bore on his sturdy shoulders the 66 IGNATIAN brunt of the attack. Larrecou at half was a marvel on the offense. Maroevich, Flood, Evans and Harrigan were in the thick of the light. Pete McHugh and Williamson, though injured early in the fray, gamely stuck the contest out and played better than the majority of the enemy. The game was attended by the largest crowd that ever greeted the Red and Blue team on their own stamping grounds. The rooting section was a marvel of noise, and such was their enthusiasm over our victory that they serpentined the field in the excess of their joy. Glorious indeed was the finish. THE LAW SCHOOL FOOTBALL RALLY. Two nights before the Big Game, the Law students, particularly those of the 1916 Class, staged a rally at the S. I. Auditorium that for excitement, class, good fellowship, and fun completely shaded anything that had been attempted in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. The affair was a com- bination of vaudeville, politics, athletics, eats, rooting, and a few other side issues. Otto Walfisch and Willie Kidd Nel- son furnished some of the fun with Jim Brennan as a pinch entertainer. A pair of boxers, especially secured for the Occasion from the C. B. A., pummeled each other with large pillows for three rounds, and were wildly greeted at the close. During all this time the succulent hot dog was re- ceiving an awful punishing from the assembled three hun- dred or more. The Milwaukee water disappeared in copious portions, pipes and cigarettes burned, the Rugby team and a few of the collegians started the rooting, and the rest were not long in joining in. The University Orchestra was in evi- dence all the time. A couple of bouts and a wrestling match, together with the proverbial speeches, helped to pass the time away. Father Mahony, in a five-minute talk on ginger, aided and abetted by a corn-cob pipe that refused to smoke, did more towards rousing the crowd to enthusiasm than all the boxers, the eats, and the rooting contained in the building. ATHLETICS 67 Raleigh Kelly presided and got away with the job in good style. HERE AND THERE. It's a little too early to do much prognosticating in regard to basketball, baseball and track. The basketers will not don their unies until this sheet has long since gone to press. At present writing 'there are about twenty athletes telling us about their ability in the indoor Rugby game. Among those might be cited Flood, Larrecou, McHugh, Foster, Boyle and Williamson of last year's team. Hall Evans is in doubt about coming out for the team. Connolly and O'Neill, who are with us this year, need but very little introduction to the local contingent. Then there is Steve Dewey, who was a surprise in Rugby, and who is looked upon as a dark horse in the race for positions on the quintet. After the College of Pacific game, the team, amid the artistic setting of the dressing-room, chose Ray Williamson, ,l8, as their leader for the coming season. Ray has been on the team for two years, and while his selection came as a surprise to some, still the honor was undoubtedly well- deserved. He has been one of the most consistent point getters on the team and has been the pivot around which the entire back field worked. Ray is a center three-quarter by trade, though he shines equally as well wherever he is placed. Pete McHugh, captain of this year's team, together with Emil Larrecou, halfback extraordinary, did yeoman service with the tray on the occasion of the Football Rally. Pete only managed to spill his tray and its liquid contents five times. However, he was trying all the time, and the fact that he only made but live boots should not be held against him. Larry, on the other hand, proved the find of the 68 IGNATIAN evening. His general average for a trip was twenty minutes. But then, he had to go nearly one hundred feet on each trip. The Student Body gave a vote of thanks to the Senior Class of the Law Department for their splendid work in giv- ing the Football Rally. The affair was worked up by a committee consisting of Gene Jones, Ray Feely, Lee Jacob- son, Jimmy Harrington, Paul Carew and Vin Brown, of the 1916 Class. Warren Brown, Graduate Athletic Manager, was also in on the committee. The affair worked out so smoothly that there is danger of it being held again at the close of the basketball season. Bob White, '17, has been chosen to succeed Warren Brown as Athletic Manager for the coming year. The new manager was a member of the victorious football team and has taken a prominent part in student activities at all times. l7Va1'ren Brown. Qighgrhnnl Athlviira The High School was up at the field prompt and ready for the first football practice VVednesday morning, September 1st, The squad, at first numbering about twenty, soon grew to the unprecedented total of thirty-five. A large portion of this crowd was entirely raw material, but the assiduous and ener- getic coaching of Mr. Nill soon put them fairly at home on the field. The principal drawback seems to be a lack of weight. The team is the lightest of the city High Schools, the scrum averaging about 145, and the back field about 133. Costa, Walsh, and McGrath are working well in the scrum, while in the back field Captain Lennon, Russell, Paynter and Hyland are playing speedy ball. Q'Brien at full, and Cos- grave at wing are doing excellent work considering their experience. Mission 33 St. Ignatius 30. This game was somewhat of a walk-over for our boys, HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS 69 as the score indicates. The Red and Blue boys out- dribbled, out-passed and out-ran the Mission lads at prac- tically every period of the contest. Captain Lennon played an exceptionally line game. He made two tries himself and converted four. The other scores were made by Kisich, Hyland, Maroevich, Russell, Paynter and Fanning. Lick-Wilmerding 115 St. Ignatius O. This team seems to be our Nemesis, as we have yet to beat it. In this game we were handicapped by the ab- sence of the two Hughes, Costa and Kisich, practically all the size and weight of the scrum. We put up a fine fight, but were overwhelmed by the superior size and weight of the Utah street boys. Paynter, Lennon and Bannon played a good game for St. Ignatius, while Dick Hyland, our diminutive halfback, was tumbled all over the field. Poly 123 St. Ignatius 0. This game was undoubtedly one of the best in the league. Both sides fought like tigers, and the score at the half time gun stood O to 0. But after the gun barked Mohr of Poly started a passing rush and Bender carried the ball over the line. Score at half time: Poly 3, St. Ignatius 0. The second half started with a rush, and after the ball had seesawed back and forth for some time Poly scored a field goal by a free kick. After we had fought them all over the iield the referee gave them two more tries. Lennon, Fanning, Bannan, Costa and Hyland were the stellar performers of this hard-fought game. BASKETBALL. The outlook for basketball is particularly encouraging. A very large number have reported for practice, and this crowd bids fair to increase as the season approaches. Bud Devlin has been elected temporary captain of the basketball squad, and the interclass series of games has been started off with an unusual amount of enthusiasm. Our weights particularly should star this year, as most of the members of last year's teams are back and have shown up for practice. . F. H.
