lla.nqnet, June 27. l~e v. F:athcr~, nnfl Gentlemen.

For me :tn<l f.,r n g1·rat.mn.ny ol'ns here prc~rnt; f,n· those

el'opecia lly who have k11own th'e m:m whose memory 'l'l'e are tryi n"· to ree:-~1:; fur me :mel fur them, I sny, there is se ldo;n i~ life a hnppier cln.y thnn this. Jt gives u,.; the oppnrtnnit~' to ~'l~PHk <·f the virt lll:!s mali lab"rs of one whom no one who hns known hns yet forgotten; it

gives us the opportunity so lung wishect for to manifest our love :-~n<l gr:a.titntle to one of whom we may trnly ~ay tbnt "wr knew him only to love him." The life of our first ctirector, Father Roy, s.s the life of all men whn bn.vc been great nnct grwcl, is full of good wo!·ks; lJnt' in the few rem:trks to which I must confine myself, it can not ~c expected that n subject of such fecunctity will rE.ceive all the elal•orate treatment it deserves. Let me t-hen be prrmitted to expose in a few words the career of 1.his goocl m:m anrl to recall the many claims he bas to onr gratitude &.r.d our lasting remembrance.

Father Roy wns born in the year J 842 at St. Thomas, Canada. He was enrly sent to college where he spent hiS' boyhood and his young manhood in constant npplicntion Lo the acquiring of science and virtue. God seeing in him true metal for an apostle called him to labor in his vineyard. He answered the call like the Yflry npo::;tles of old, promptly an!l generously, leaving behinrl him hb little all to foll0w Cllrist. After flue preparntion, prie5tlloo<l was conferred on him hy 'Bish­op Ignatiu.~ Bourget on the 2·~n<1. day of july 1866.

Not long af\ver he bacl been rnised to the sacerdotal ilignity Md had entered the orfler of St. Viateur, Fr. Roy received his mi ssion to the far-off and then un­known B•mrbonnai,. ·without considering the many difficulties he would have to encounter, he immediately bade nclien to his religious confreres, to his family, friends !tnd to his dear Canarh, and embarked for Illinois. I will not give you the history of tll e ioundation of the college; it will b~ given to yon by an~tber one; but le t it sufll<:e for me to sny tha t :Father Roy, as soon n.s he arrived in Bourbonnais lost uo time in setting himself to the accomplishment of his cl esign: to build a college; and those who have lived with hirn anrl watched the progress of this in s.titution until Father Roy w<ts Mlled away trom ns, know ho w much troublr, careand anxiety and money our Alm!l. M:ater cost her founder.

But he had this · consolation to see his efforts crown­eel wi th sn cC'.ess, The college prospe rect anrl continuerl

to prO!'per for many ye:Lrs with Fr. Roy as directo11. H• •wever it hegnn to a.ppen r that Father Roy could n,o !onger F-O rc:1flily . ol1P..Y the prompt.int,s (If his own gr~.at z ··nl, of llis ahicting cl(·sire to cto ~ (lmething for his hoys. Ailsistnnee c'ame anrl ma.de his burdens lighter. But still di:>e:•se held him back from hi:; fhvorite task!', nntil it .1' became evident tha t Fr. Roy must abn.nclon Hll 11.ctive clu :y. In order to give him the rest which his· year·s of continne<l bhor hacl meriLecl him, his superiors cn.llerl him bnck to Canach thnt he might see his frien.-'ls anrl hpme ngnin and there re-el!L:t blisb Lis worn-rlown con­

stitntio ••. The neecssn.ry cl epartnre of Father Roy wfls n h:-~rd

blow for him nnrl for those who h:td learnect to love him and to apprccinte him n.t .all his 1l'lle worth. But for him esprcially was it. sn<l to be obliged to tear him­self nwny from an institution arour.d which his affec­tions bact hecome so closely entwinecl, and to leave perhnps forever those c·hilrlren in whose behnlf it had been his j ny so enrnestly and entirl'!y to consPcrate his whole life. But the <lay came nnd with it the hour which was to be his last. in Bourbonn:•is among the chilctren uf his nctopti•)ll. With many a sigh of trne grief we all escortecl him to the t.rnin where we wayerl him the pnrting gooclbye which wns to be our lnst farewell to the hest of Fathers. But here let me tell you what he told me person..tlly: ".\1y dear Joe, I woulrl hnve given all and sncrificed all other pleasu1·es for the s'ltisfacl.ion of remaining here a litt.le longer to ,witness the ~uccess of the work th'\t I have begun." ··~"ather Roy, saicl I, in tl.re n:une of those t.hat you hale loved, I promise you that we shall mn.ke but one wilh those thnt you leave behind :you to conti11Ue your work; that we shall help them ::ts much as our means will permit.,. I am g!act that I have said true; to-<lay we are a~sambleo for this enct.

Father Roy arrived at .Juliette, Canarla, only to be nailed to a bed of sickness from which he seldom rose during his long and lingering illness ol two years. At last disease which had played havoc with his st.rong constitution rectnced him to the last extremity. He was called to another life, a life 'Which would r~pay all his generous sacrifices a ad all his Ia bors, his faithful service ~n God's fields. He dierl the death o f the jus t on the 2nd. of July, 1879. His remains were inten-ed with clue religious solemnity in the commnnity chapel, which remains, I hope, will soon be brought to Bourbonnais, to lJe the cornerstone of tbe monument of our love.

SHcb, my dear friends is the simple yet sublime story of Father Roy's ea rthly pilgrimage in wllich we find ~o much to admire, so much that edifies, so much that claims from filial hearts respect and love. Let u::; ever then gratefully remember Fr. Roy an<i long com­me mOL·ate his virtues that £>tb.ers may learn to pro-

WELCOME TO OUR ARCHBISHOP.

. BY MR. WILLIAM PRENDERGAST.

Most Rev. and Beloved Archbishop,

If life is but a weary pilgrim::1.ge Through de;-:ert sands of n ni versa! grief, Have we not in our very youthfu l age An oasis here found ufsweet relief?

A spot of green and shade and limpid streams In which to nestle for an hour it seems, W;ll fill the soul with peace and g lad delight, And cast upon <•Ur lives a lig ht so pure That its bright beam ab iding in our sight, Will stre.ngtllen us our sorrows to en• lure?

Of this our resting place both frtosb and free, You are, dear Father, as the kind palm tree, The chief honor and sonrce of joy plenteous, Extend ing ever yom pro tection bo~n t&ous.

As children, now with full delight we do Bask in our Father':: kind benignant smile, And vft him with li ps and hear ts all true, Yuuth's hearty welcome without g uile.

Be welcome then, among St. Viateur's sons, Among your own now b.-ing ing every wreath To crown .yon with their g lory and to breathe Upon your worthy presence benisons.

The palms of merit which we win to-day, With gratefu l hea rts at your feet do we lay. For you by kind attention ever lent H ave nerved our youthful minds on studies bent.

Our hearts with all their lvve are yours as well; For you with golden cords of charity, Will hold them ever as by magic spell , Till time is lost in long eternity.

Be yours also our Alma Mater's pride In those who now return to her em brace; W ith virtue bright and learning side by side All bringing homage meet unto your Grace.

In answer to the invita tion issued l;>y the "Grand P acific Convention" of May the 20th. a good number of the form er stud ents met at the College, June the 26th.

Y IATEUR's JouRNAL, it was :1greed by :11l to rem ain until the 27t.h. in orrler to transaet bm:;iness , etc., etc. At 10 o'clork, "\Vednesday June 27 the meeting of the Roy Memorial Associa tion was called to order by the Pres ident, Rev. H. Boeckle­mann. Owing to the abHence of Rev. G. Legris, Secty., it was unan im ously agreed, upon mot ion of Mr. J os. St. Loui~, that R~v. E. L. Rivard C. S. V. be made Ac­ting Secty. The following reports of previous me.eting were t.!Jen read, on request of the Rev. Chai rman, and accepted as minutes.

Meeting of the Old Students,

Commencement n.~y, June 23, 1887.

Never before in the annals of St. Viateur's, was such a large number of former students seen gathering about their Alma l\Iat er as was witnessed this year. This un­usual, not to say unexpe0ted meeting of so many old fellows cannot have been the mere work of chance ; it seems rather provid ential. A new interes t in one an ­otber and a nat ural affection for their early college home seem to have been aronsed among the Alumni as if by the magic of contact.

The recalling of fami liar nam es, the recounting of school-d ay tricks so long si lenced, the interchanging of general thought so long pent up, all gushed freely fo rth during the hours that preceded the opening of the exercises. Really it was regaling to see bow im­mensely the gentlemen enjoyed one another 's company.

Towards the close of the tlay's prog ramme Rev. M. J . Marsile C. S. V . introduced M. J. Maher Esq. who reqnested all the former students present to attend a meeting which shou ld be held in the Study Hall after the distribution of premiums. The call was willingly answered.

When the assembly was seated. Rev. C. P . Foster, or China.go, proposed Rev. H. Breldemann, of Delphi, Ind., as chairman, which choice was unanimously accepted. Fr. Bceklemann good-humoredly filled the proferred s~at and asked t!Jat some gentleman explain the nature or purpose of the meeting; whereupon there was a call for

. FC's 'er. The Rev geu Llcmn,n pleacling th:-tt he h<td only an lnklillg as to the encl tllat was aim ed a t, re­

' q nest.ed that Mr. N ichol:ts vYal:;h state more fully fwhat was to be done.

M:r. Nicholas Walsh, a Etud ent. of the regretted Fr. · Hoy's time, now resident of Dwight, Ills., stood up

d said thnt, as it had ofLen suggested something nlcl be d<•ne in memory of R~::v . Fr. Roy C. S. V.

The "l{oy l\'lP. mor ial H:dl" S()e tn3 to have beeu 'decided upon, all being- in fiwor. r After t!Je consitlerat ion of ~cvcr:d propo::.i tions brought forward, it was agree<l th:tt, as this wn~ an af-

. ot importan ce, it shou ld be subjected to no hasty action . .So a committee was dec ted to make :urangements !fc•r a larger gathering of old students n<·xt year, at twhich time decisive steps slnll !>e tal•en for t.!J e materi­ralization of the plans now laid OL\t. ~ The officers of the committee are as follows : Rev .

Chicago, Ill!;',, May 30, 1888. Dear Sir-:

Upon invitation, a large and en-' husiastic gathering of the old students of our "Alma tlater" assembled at the Grand Pacific Hot<~ l, Chicago, lin the Sixteenth of May. The purport of the meeting, s stated hy the Chairman. Rev. H. Boocklemann, was to

1~ ake known our deep and abiding sense of g-ratitude lo the late lamented Father Roy, by a testimonial, such s would forever consecrate our affections to his memo­'y and make lasting our appreciation of his character I• • -~d worth. !twas unammously resolved after ong dis-

cu~s ion, that the proof of our aff~ctio.n wvuld fiud per • mnuC!lt and worthy expression in the e1:et.:tion of a Me,. moria! Ch:tpel cl edicated to hi.; ,name aud in commemo­ration or his virtues. To insu.re tbe succes.s of tbe un.­dP.rtaking , it was decreed to c:dl a meeting of tbe old students and welt-wi~hers of the in stitut.ion, to l1e held upon ComP'enccment D:ty , June 26th. :'\t. St. Viateur':s Co ll ege.

Fvr the purpose of securing co-opr.ration of all thoee interested, the undersigned Committee was 11ppoiJ;tecl wit ll instr uction to req11est your 11resence at th ·.! afore•

· said meeting ''Ve k11ow full well th:tt the motive of the gathering

Roy Memorial Chapel.

The feasibility and ad visihility of the Roy Memorial Chapel were then ful ly considered; and after the expres­sion of m~ny and various opinions by members it was thought best to work for the Memorial Chapel. Among those who held the flvor during this disctBsion were Messrs. Canavan, Walsh, Bergeron, Revds. P erry, Mc­Grath, Rivard, Lesage, Berard and Bret.:klema nn. Fr. Boocklem:mn said that owing to the increased attenda n­ce at St. Viate.ur's the authorities see themselves com­pelled to build. They must build. And undoubtedly no monument could better express gratitude to the me­mory of Fr. Roy and at the same time be more acceptabie to those who are perpetur.ting his work than substan­tial assistance in facilitating such a necessary improve­ment. Mr. W alsll remarked that the final adoption of the Memorial Chapel was without doubt a wiser decision than the monument plan which he had suggested a year ago. He also said that the erection of a chapel would require a more considerable outlay than a mar­ble slab or a crncifix would have ; but that whatever it was, he would go into it deep as his gratitude to and love for Fr. Roy. Others spoke in same strain.

LETTER'.

The Rev. President then informed the meeting that there lay on the table letten of a most encouraging- na­ture, coming from all parts of the States. Among these was a communication from Lawyer Colfer, of Lincoln,

I:)T. ' VIA'.t:E.

Neb., giving us assurance of his hearties·!; sympathy . with the .movement and of his u'tmost pecuniary ~up­

port. A Letter from R·~v . .A. L. Bergeron, of Chicago, contained $LOO .note; one from Rev. G. Legri8, of Bour· bonnais with $500; one from R ev. M. Letellier of MP­nomenee, Mich, with promise of $100. Others pleading excuse for una voidable absence, assured the Secretary of their hParties t, sympathy and st:• uncbest support in wha~ver shou ld he decided. Time was ~o short and the Lttters too num!;lrous to give them more than a passing notice which, however , was an encouraging indication of the <;entiment outside. Letters on <th e ta­ble were signed as foll ows :

est at the meeti11g the project of furming a regular Alumni Association was again brought on the tnpis. Dr. E. Bergeron and Re v. F. N. Perry first mentioned the subject. WIJereupon the Rev. chairman, forseeing that there would be no time for se ttling th::.t question in the forenoon, requestE'd that we put off organizing said as. sociation till the afternoon. It was then agree(l to deter said business until our next general reunion .June 1889, when it is hoped there will be a sti ll larger number of the old students and especially of tho:>e interested m establishing a regular Alumni Society.

ST. VIATEUR's JouRNAL. Reports of the proceedings during the year will

be published monthly in St. Viateur's College Journal. Those desiring to be informed as to the progress of the movement and who are not a lready subscribers for the JouRNAL should send in their names to the Secretary or the Editors. The Journal appears semi-montllly, is c0nduded by the students, contains general college news and personal notices especia lly of former stu­dents. The price of subscription for one year is $1.50. Communic:ttions of interest concerning place and occu. pation of former students are soliP-ited by the Editors.

TOTAL AMOUNT SuBSCRIBim. Though the number of ua::nes (111 the list i f' compa­

ratively small, the figure that has already been reached !; peaks eloquently , and if there comes a corresponding answer trom those expected to assist, the erection of the Roy Chapel is beyond doubt and work may even very soon he commenced. ThP.re is on list in the neigh­borhood of $2650.00.

OBITUARY.

VERY R1w . P. J. C'oi\nYAY V. G. In F ather Conway, the- efteemed Vicar General of

tbe diocese of Cbieago, who died on the first day of July, the College and we, the stutl f- nt~, ha ve lost a very

· particular fri end and pat ron. Every body knows what be bas chl!1e to promote Catholic education wherever his jurisdiction extended; an<i tbe magnificent schools

, that have sprung up everywhere on his passage are : eloquent proofs of his i11terest in the proper training oi

:C Catholic youth. Father Conw::ty was no t without kn ow-ing the partieularly advantil.geous position of St. Via­teur's as a centre for Catholic inf'truction, an d his sympathies were fully with this institution and it~

_growth. He ofLen visited the College where his n ephe~s, Masters William and Daniel Conway, were students

·, with us, and he was always de ligllted to be amomg the boys. We sincerely regret his loss and earnes tly pray that he may soon enjoy the reward of his labors.

REV. ULRICH MAGNAN. We learn through the Canadian papers the death of

the Rev. Ulrich Magnan, formerly a teacher in the Brothers' School at Bourbonnais and no doubt still remembered by the students of that early period.

Brother Magnan became a pri est Of th e archdiocese of Ottawa, P. 0., Canada, and was stationed at Fournier­ville. He enjoyed perfect health until almost the day of his death, which happ€med somewhat suddei1ly, .Sunday July 1888. He had been a zealous teacher while in the tanlrs .of St. Viateur an<l was a successful pastor in the Lord 's Field. May his soul rest in peace.

Thence he was called to tbe pastorate of St. Anne's Church, West CoYington, Ky., which post be nobly filled till the time of his dea th.

Upon me d evolves the clu .y of presenting yon, Rev. I•' a titers, Pr< • fes~;or8, nncl fellvw stud~ht8, <: he parting fa.rewe ll 'Jf t.h e gr:trluatiug claF$ of 'S8. Beholrli11g a scene of such unwonted brillia ncy as this day spreads before ui' . a H·<·nc illmu iued with fU.<:h uuiverf'al glad­IH'SS hea nting trom every countenance, it seems strange that one sl10uld come before y•JU and sny that all this hnj)piness is not his ; tllat there are some here whose ht'arts are no t filled with t.he appnrently unrui xed joy­ousness of this day. Strangtl as it mny seem, it is never­theless true that for the grarluating students, this hou r -brings toget.ber with all its triumphs one sad thoug ht1 the thought of ll.'av ing fiJr good a retreat where we !tave ta~ ted such sweet secnrity and h:tve reaped such har­vests ofkno111lerlge; a home arouud whicb a ll our aff~: -t icms l~>we centered a nd about which tbey I ave becot: e so clo::-e ly entwined, that the necessity of now Fever ing these with ·bolrling cords of attachment, pains tLe heart, and makes the soul pensive. The hour is a lmost here wbich is about to !earl us beyond Lhe portals of this home of peace, thi s sea t of wisdom, our Alma Mater; an hour which will plnce us upon the rl i vergent paths of life, where we sha ll no longer meet l'lS we ha ve been wont evey day,. the paterna l smile of onr oireetors and enjoy their wise uurl kinrlly direetion; nor s hnll we any more welcome with ench new day those bright happy faces of our class companions, who have mane life here so cheerful and whom !l OW r'les1.iny hurries awr1y, perhnps ne ver to unite us again under the same rooT. In view of these facts let us at least be permitted before parting, to utter the sentiments that well up from the abundance of grntefu l hearts and to say the last good-bye of fri enrls who have so long nestled in the genial warmth of college companionship. Before taking our leave ofyou, dear Director and t'PSpected professors, allow us io exprei's our sincere thankfulness :lor the con­stant and enlightenerl zeal yon hnve displayed in ou t· behalf. We know that yo ur cha1·ge is an arduous noe and do cand idly admire you conscientious fidelity to your trust. I s it not nature! that ·g-r-;;:ttitude therefore should possess our hearts? For have you not consecrat-ed all your moments to our advancement? Have not your thoughts a] ways beer. with us and abou t us? Has not our improvement been your only concern? You have imparted to us that which after life itself is the grandest gift that men can yearn after, Christian Eclu­cation. Believe then in our lively appreciation, not on-

ADDRESS OF WELCOME TO FORMER STUDENTS.

BY MR. JosEPH B E{;CLKR.

R~:v. FATHERS AND GENTLEMEN:

It is wi th all tlte ardor and candid gladness of youth that >Ye the young­er children of St. Viateur's have greeted the coming of a day which hns not its like in the history of the col­lege ; a day which hrings back all the Viatorhm family to the fond embrace of the Alma Mater. Believe us readily when we assure you that we are penetrated with all the great joy of this deligi·Jtful occnsion; and allow our hearts to outpo11r from their fullness the warm welcome they wish yon. Proud, indeed and happy are 'We to salute you with ID08t cordial effusion, former profe ors and students, who have hasttenerl hither h·om tLe farthest limits or the States, as if drawn back

to the home of your early da s by the magnet of grati­tude and affectionate remembrance. With cheerful readiness does tbi · House, the Mother of you all, our common Mother, throw open her hospitable doors to you. With delight and pride does she look upon .and recognize you who so long were t!Je objects of her ten­der solicitude, distinguished members of the clergy, sterling citizens who grace the liberal professions, and honor all ranks of c:vil society. The honor of the children reflects upon the mother and thrills her with suave consolat ions.

· Cast as you lin ve been these many yen rs upon the immAn e and ternpestuou seas of life, whit:h :•pp<>ar t0 ll or,ly through t!J e deceptive rrism of youthful vis ion, you have to-day sought an llour of rest. and calm in the pe:1ceful retreat wherei t: you spent ecurely youryouth· ful years. You return agai:1 within these walls whi ch hav e sheltered you from the many sed uctions of an enticing word; to that play-ground when· you played your youthful sports with a~ much li vely earuestnel:'s as yon now fight the battl!-.s of life; to t hose halls of study, those clnssic sanctuaries of patient toil peoplect 11 0w with delightful reminiscences which comfort and strengthen y0ur hearts and make you live again the gvod old times. Yes let your return to the comiDOll bearth whence you drew the warming rays ot science and virtue together shect upon your wuls the warm glow of pleasant souvenirs!

This brilliant gathering will deserve to be imcribcd amongst the most memorable events in the a·nnals of the college-But even this so enthusiastic reunion is not only a s.::>ulfnl return into the past; it is as the dawn of a new day, pregnant with bright promise for the continued progress of this instituti on.

Under your cordial patronnge she will behold her horiwn widening and her 8pltere of activn becoming more and more ample ; and those who come after ns and will have been nomished by her increased strength will applaud your good work and themselves assist in consolid ating her existence. Let us be allowed in closing to atldre8s our hearty congratulations to those valliant pioneer<> who saw the first dawn of this establishment, not a few of whom are present in this assembly; and you all, gentlemen, wh0 represent past generations, you have a right to our applause and our deep grati­tncle as well. For, coming after you we have benefited by your fatigues and your labor. You have been the foundero. To us belongs the duLy of cultivating and of giving increase to your lalJOr. Let y :mr work here as well as your brilliant achievements in you..r respective walks of life be the beacon which will leacl us also to nobly fill our posts - and thus having profited hy your lessons ever be like you worthy and true sons of St. Viateur's. Once more our welcome and congratulations.

St. Viateur's b:tttrdion was organized, we beJievt'l, last year, but so thormtgh has been the instruction nuder Col. D ore, that tlle stu clents exhibit a proficiency in theoretical and practical ta ctics tllat is really sur­·prising, and really ftH' in advance of many so cn lled military schools.

The first thing on the programme of the evening was dress parade on the college campus, which passed oft very creJitabl_v. There were a few mistn kes, but they would not have been noticed except by a tra ined mi li­tary eye. We especially noticed Arlj. Denis Ricou, of Shreveport, Louisiana, who carried out his part to per­fection, and certainly deserves credit.

After the parade, tlle assemblage n,tljourneu to tbe clri U ball, where the following prograw uJe was oarried out: 0v'3rture . . . . .......... . .. . . . ... . . . . . ... . . . . Band.
