Xavier Foundation HE work of the Diamond Jubilee Committee having been accomplished and accomplished in such a very satisfactory manner, the Alumni was loathe to dis- band such an energetic and loyal body of nsons of St. Xavier . Accordingly in the latter part of 1924, a perma- nent committee known as the Xavier Foundation was created, to carry on the work of the now extinct but never to be forgotten Diamond Jubilee Committee. On this committee were placed all the members of the Diamond Jubilee Committee and in addition to these not only members of the Alumni but also men of prominence in civic and educational activities in this city. The aim of this Committee is to promote in all ways, linancially and otherwise the growth and betterment of St. Xavier College. The work of the foundation has al- ready produced great results, for we see in the near fut- ure the Little Flower Chapel, the Library and the Gym- nasium, all of which are sorely needed by the institution, and which, when completed will make our Alma Mater one of the outstanding educational institutions in this part of the country. The work of the members of this committee argues well for the future St. Xavier and with the path blazed, the younger members of the Alumni will readily follow and the entire Alumni body will be one huge but active Xavier Foundation.

Xaverian BOOk-Lovers Association GROUP of women who have always been interested in all Xav- erian affairs were glad to accept the invitation of the Xavier boys to act as chaperones for a dance, following one of the foot- ball games of the past season. The chaperones chatted, as is their Wont, discussing the possibility of using the cafeteria as a social hall. From this conversation this society has developed into its pres- ent proportions as the Faculty approved the idea of organizing the mothers, wives and sisters of their alumni and students as well as all other women interested in Catholic higher education so that they might substantiate their interest in Saint Xavierls College by direct means and tangible results. Since the library building was then oc- cupying the center of the construction program this group decided to use the funds gathered from their labors, in furthering this pro- ject, hence the Reverend Rector, Father Brockman, thought it fitting to christen the new society the uereriun Book-love'rs Association . The first meeting was held at the present library building on January 25th with a very large attendance. The members formulated plans for a card party held on February twentieth. Several prelim- inary meetings were held for this affair and at the close of this party the efforts of these generous women brought the unanimous opinion that this was more than a success financially, and the social success was even greater. Since this party there has been no meeting of the Xaverian Book- lovers as a distinct organization, but it lent invaluable assistance to those in charge of the May Fete conducted by the Athletic Associ- tion. It is hoped that this organization may prosper and become per- manent thus affording an opportunity for seeial affairs while at the same time furthering the cause of Catholic education.
