LITERARY ! STUDENT PUBLICATIONS The Dial and The Hour Glass Some thirty-four years ago a group of ambitious literary geniuses at St. Mary’s College conceived the idea of starting a college publication. “The Dial” was chosen as its name and with pride the first number was edited. This number was the model as well as the image of “The Dials” to come. Within the covers of that first issue were to be found works of high literary merit, which merit was destined to be the standard of all future “Dials.” The work was carried on and each year saw a larger and a more complete magazine. In the spring of 1919 a great step was taken in the Dial association. It was found that there was sufficient matter to simply two publications. Un to this time the “Dial” had been a monthly, devoted to local happenings. Alumni and school news, as well as literarv articles. This news matter served to restrict the number of the stories and articles. Therefore in the snr:n r of 1919. by the combined efforts of Mr. Mullanev. S. J-. and Tohn L. Porter. A. B., ’20. the Hour Glass, a bi-monthly school paper, was started and the Dial was made a quarterly. Since that time the Dial has prospered and its old standard has been kept. Furthermore it has been possible for the men engaged with its publication to devote their time to special editions. Among the noteworthy Dials may be mentioned the Service number and the Golden Jubilee number. Last year the fourth number of the Dial was made a “Dial Annual” and it received such enthusiastic welcome that this year a separate “Dial Annual” will be edited. This year the leadership of the “Dial” has been held by Louis L. Kirchne-r. A. B., ’23. Through his energy as well as the combined efforts and worthy cooperation of his staff, under the guidance of Rev. T. A. Berens. S..J., we have had four most interesting Dials. The Autumn. Christmas. Spring and Jubilee numbers will always be an honor to the staff of the thirty-fourth volume of the “Dial.” In 1919, the starting of the Hour Glass, “the little brother of the Dial,” was an experiment but from the very beginning it has been a success. It is a paper published twice a month, with the news and happenings of the school; a student paper for the student. Under capable editors it has grown and flourished until now it is regarded as an indispensable organ of the school. This vear under the editorship of Edward T. Lenihan. ’24. and the assistance of his co-workers the Hour Glass has continued to prosper. Beginning with the first issue in September. the Hour Glass grew in popularity with each succeeding issue and, due to this, a six page issue replaced the former four page sheet. Having fulfilled his term as editor, Edward Lenihan's position was conferred on the editor for the coming year. Joseph P. Loftus, ’25. In the editions he has edited. Mr. Loftus has shown his ability and we feel safe in saying that the Hour Glass will prosper in the year to come. DIAL ANAUAL One Hundred Seventeen
