The annual retreat, which opened this year on the 3'lst ot October and closed November 2nd, aims at the activation of the inner life. It is a three day pause in the academic and social life which provides ample leisure for every col- legian to strengthen and renew the orientation of his life. Rev. John Kelly, C.S.P. conducted confer- ences for the Juniors and Sophomores. Rev. Raymond Lorentz, C.S.P. took charge of the Freshmen. ln addition to their stimulating con- ferences and liturgical participation, personal guidance was urged for all.
