This year the alumni made their appear- ance in one of the best-prepared settings ever arranged for the annual Homecoming activi- ties. Long weeks of careful planning and hard work by co-chairmen, Bill Battista ancl Gene Walasczcyk, preceded the unveiling of the many fascinating floats and decorations placed at strategic points across campus. A half-time show presented by Vincentians and Setonians was climaxed with the crowning of Homecoming Queen, Miss Carolyn Allgeier, and the termination of Rules for the freshmen. However, on the field the St. Vincent football team lost a hard, muddy battle to the Yellow- iackets of Waynesburg 7-0. The defeat soon was forgotten as the Homecoming dance cap- ped off the day, and the alumni vanished until next year. l O Homecoming 1961 a.Q0 0?o Y- ,lg 1 Y l it thx i '-4 V-X' iii: it Clockwise from top: Student Senate President Charles Carreras crowns Carolyn Allgeier Queen of the Homecoming activitiesg erected along Skyline Drive, this display is the iirst to be seen by the alumni as they arrive for the re-unionf a prize-winning Y- - -- -- - -'-- ----u.- gg, Bearcat stands proudly before Sportsman's Hallg an old-fashioned auto welcomes the class of '36p pretty Carolyn Allgeier perches happily on St. Vincent's mascotg quarterback jan Esway barks out a play to the poised bearcats.

Wimmer Lecture The academic highlight of the fall semes- ter was the annual Wimmer Lecture, delivered this year by Dr. Paul O. Kristeller of Colum- bia University. The address concerned Ren- aissance Philosophy and the Medieval Tradi- tion. Professor Kristeller's informative address assured his audience of his adept scholarship in Renaissance history: he succeeded nobly in the line of Wimmer Lecturers that have ap- peared at St. Vincent, including Jacques Maratain, Henry Peyre, and Christopher Dawson.
