THE XAVERIAVN NEWS Three REVEREND JAMES J. McCABEt President This Book is Respectfully Dedicated As one passes along Victory Boulevard, north of Dana Avenue. he is impressed by the spectacle of two magnificent buildings of Tudor Gothic design; one the Alumni Science Hall, made possible by the generosity of our Alumni, the other an imposing Faculty building, named Hinkle Hall, the generous gift of Mrs. Frederick W. Hinkle. Directly opposite, on the other side of the boulevard, one beholds what is perhaps the best athletic field in the city. These are only several of a group of buildings and improvements con- templated for a Greater St. Xavier. Several years ago, no one would have dreamed that so much could have been accomplished in so short a time. Most of our Alumni and well-wishers. not even in their most optimistic moods, did not dare hope for such progress. But when Father McCabe came to us on January the hrst, I917, after having been President of St. Mary's College, Kansas, and Marquette University, he set about immediately in his own quiet way on plans which hitherto had been mere creations of an architect mind, and in the space of a few years was realized the dream of former generations. On his artival in Cincinnati, Father McCabe found times and circumstances anything but encouraging. For a time, owing to the war, building was out of the question. But just as soon as occasion offered, ground was broken at Avondale, and two new buildings were started. Numerous strikes delayed the work considerably, but on September 14th, I920, classes were opened in the Alumni Science Building, and several months later, November I4, the two new buildings were formally opened and blessed by the most Reverend Archbishop Moeller. ' Father McCabe has always been progressive. While Presiaent of St. Mary's College. Kansas, he did much to- ward bringing St. Marys to the position she now holds among Catholic boarding colleges of the country. In the five years he has been in Cincinnati, the development of St. Xavier has been nothing short of marvelous. In the High School we have the greatest enrollment in the history of the institution. There are at present over six hundred boys. With an average registration of over two hundred and fifty new boys each year for the last three years, we have reached that era, under Father McCabe, which former generations had ardently longed for-a Create: St. Xavier.
