OUR JUBILARIAN I ~-------------------

0 LIVE for sixty yea1r'S in the sacred n1inist.ry of Christ, .consecrated to the eminently blessed work of Christian Edueation in a religious' community, is in- _, deed the heritage of but fe:w prie:sts of the Oartholic .

Church. -This however has been the happy lort. of the venera~ble

Superior General o:f the crrerrics1 of St. -Viator, who re:cen:tly celebrated the dian1o,nd amniversa.ry of his ordination o·n S-ep­tember the t:we,lfth at the , General l\!lh therhouse of the1 Order in B1russels, Belgium,.

T1he entire life of the vene:rable Father La,joie has be·en tha.t. of a; "m1a1n of God," an:d: sinee1 the da1y that he received his call to Orders:, his life has been filled. with prrolHic projeets, all of ·which he has caa:'ried' to ,a; sUJecess.ful con1ple,tion, even , in1 t.he face of 1nultitudinous difficu1lties and soul-harrassing triails..

Born in 182G, in , the Province of Q1uebe:c, whose very at­nlosphere is per11Teated witb relig;iou>H inspiration, 1Fa.ther La.­joie received his: ea1~ly educwtion in the Pa,rochial Schools of his native city, St. J ean de B~arptis.te de R.ou.ville'. At .an ea,rly a;ge, he attended the Viat,orian Schools:, completing bis studies with greatest possible success and honor. Erven as. a child he: pos:ses:sed such wonderful .directing abilities1 and st erling qu.a.lities: of leadership, thart he w·a:s destined to be a leader of men.

In 184 7, shortly ,a,fter the: erection of the Ca,nadian Prov­ince he entered the N ovitia.te, and since taking his vo·ws in 1848, hjs life ha,s been one of vwriou>S vicis:situdes, fiHed· with n1ueh hard labor in e·very hnportant post of duty in the Com­Inunity. Scarcely had he pronounced his. vows, than he was a1e:si~necl a professorship a1t JoUiete· College, the main institu­tion of the Congregia1tion in. C:anad!a . . After a fe'V\r short months in this capa1city, he w:a,s1 appointed Dire:etol'" of St. E1ljzabeth's School, .a:fter which he was re-a:ppo,inted! Dire1ctor of J qUiette Oollege, where he: a:lso pursued. his Tiheological studies, be~ing ordained on September the t,welfth, 1852. H'a:ving successive-

ly been Director of Olh.ambly a1nd of J olliette Oolleg;es, his Superiors noting his spe;cial ada,pta,tion in moulding the char­acter of the young, and also his zeal for the welfare of the Oommunity, appointedJ him Ma.ster of Novices of the ~!other· province at Vourles, F ·ra:nee, where he reJin:ained in the fulfill­ment of his duties for six years, returning to his nali.ive land,

· onee more to take eha:rgie of Jolliette Oollege and Semina.ry. The next six ye1a1r.s of F'a,ther Lajoie's life were quietly_

spent in the direction of s·oro.Jls a,s, Clu:re of J olliette·, and it was while exercising the fun:ctions: of this office tha,t he received his app(),intment as Pl'"ovineial of the Gana:dian Obe:dience. Unde·r his able guidance the Clommunity grew phenon1enaHy a,nd became onl~ of the most importa~nt tea,ching Congrega­tions in Oa.nada. A! few year.s' later, he was a.ppojnted foreig'n Vicar, and in 1881, he was summ:oned to the General )){other­house at Vourle:s to fill the offiee of Viea:r-Genera.l of the In­stitute, an offi.ee requiring1 no little experience and t.a:ct, es­pecially in F·ra.nce, where ·as: early as the E\ighties, much ill­will .already existed between the R.eligJious . 01~ders and the in­fidel government.

On August the eighte,e.nth, 1890, on the dea.th of the late Superior General, he was unanimous:ly chosen by the dele­g~ates from the various ProiVinces, ~.~s1 Superior Geneora1l for life.

T'ruly, it wou:ld see'm that one whose life hald be.en sOi full of a~duous t:oil, ought at laist find relief from; the n1ultiplicity of his labors; not so however with our beloved General; great and heart-rending trials ha.ve been laid , upon his vvilling shoulders, for during his period of Generalship nlany events ha1ve happened on atecount of the injustice of 1nen and Gov­ernm.ents .that would have dismayed the heart of even a; N a­poleon.

Perhaps the gre,UJtest .a1ffliction endured by our beloved Fa.ther, was the expulsion of thousands of his children fron1 the borde:rs of France, the native land of the congregation, his· country by adoption, within whose confines three of the 1nost flourishing prorvinces: of the order possessed hundreds: of Clla~-

. sica;l Colleges, Oo-n1mercia1 Aeade,mies' and Pia·roaehiaT Schools. T_.jike the g.ood shephe~d who weeps in anguish when raivenous wolves disperse his flocks ,and\ whose heart is crushed with· sor-

row at seeing the objects .of his solicitude thus in dire suffer­ings which he ca.n in no way assuage, so our beloved: General beheld the dispersion allld' e.x:ile of his fa1ith.ful flock of Clhris­tian educrutor:s.. But remembering the w.ovd1s of Holy Writ; "Whom the Lord loiVeth' the Lo~d persecut~eth," he was res.ign­ed, for he knew that this~ bitte·r 1 triatl ·came from Hea1ven, and meekly taking up h~s crosts withoUJt aJ murmrur he pra(Yed in the ~uhlime wovds o:f Cihrist, "Father, ·Thy will not m1ine be done.'' .· Offe~ring1 up all hiS' affEctions: and sufferings to the loving Hemrt of J e:su:s a~s a .S!a:erifice to appeas1e the " rra1th of a.n of­fended God a:nd thus turn his . vengeance from1 an infide~l peo­ple he left the land of his adoption crulm1ly praying for his persecutors even aS' the God'-m!an, on Calvary prayed for tho's:e 'vho had crucified Hiw~"F1a.ther forgive the~m~ for t.hey kno'v not what they do."

After the expulsion of the religious fro1n. France, F!a.ther I.ajoie In~arshalled the broken ranks1 o,f hiS! little atrmy in Bel­gium, where the corrnmunity is at pre1s:ent flourishing und~r the prot.e:ction of tha~t emminent.ly Ca1tholic 1\1onarchy.

F 'a:th­er Lajoie's he,atrt however is wrapped up in the welfare of Fra1nce and· he is lea:vin.g1 nothing undone to further the King­dom of Clhrist in tha~t unhappy country. AJre:ady he has·~ · re·­es~t•alblished s!everrul of the V1atoria:n schools where· m~emhers

Under the new sy;stem there are .. but three depa1rtments:;. the .Sem:inary, Collegiate and Acad;­emic and ea1eh of these departm:ents, is num.erically larger than . at any other period in the history of the college.

· of the .Paperr, to ou:r eye, is the poem "Vivuu1 e' Vivo" ib(Y F_r:ancis J. D·' Andreis. In this poem., the author portrays the position of n1a1t·eria1ist.ic evolutionists:,, 'vho attribute the origin a1nd developn1ent ·of life solely to inaninwte matter. 'rheir doctrine is shown to he· utterly unbearable, a,ye, even ri­diculous and thus by a ureduetio a,cl_, ahsrurdu1n" the writer prove:s the truth of the old S.ehola,sttk saying "Vivu1n e vivo" (Life springs only fro1n. a; living orgnnis.m.)

How to associate with our fellow·-men, is a . more serious proble1n than 1n.a.ny in1agjne. Clatreful a1nd earnest thought is required in its solution. VVe notice: Inan~ Inen travelling life's path serenely and without an aippa,rent. 1n.ishap, cleverly avoiding the nuinerous: pitfaUs, br:a.vely meeting, and dexte1r-0usly overcon1ing aJl obstacles:. Such . men as these a,re the ones 'vho m.a.ke life a success. T~act and good na.ture are gen­eraJly their predomina,nt· ch.aratcterisrt.ics. These precious qualities· they acquire, .a,s, .a,, general rule, by careful study o.f ehatra;cte·rs with whom . they co1ne in contact. They realize that ma,n by his .very nature: 1nus.t associate with his fellow ~nen, a1nd hence he1 n1ust; dete·rmine how to a,ssodate. VVe, ai3 students, should· also realize this fact and make it a, special ~tudy. No place could be more proUfic with advantages for tb e tyro in this. study than a~ college .s.UJch a~S> ours. }For he:re the student con1es into daily and intima,te contact with his fello·w students;, not only on the can1pus, and in the daiSIS,­

roorns, but eF3pecia.lly in societies. Hence: one of the be:s:t. re­sults derived from societies is that they tea.ch us. how · to' act to,vai~ds our fellow students. Societies: ha;Ve! vUJrious ends it is true, and ~a:~way.s mJus1t haiVe a:n end a,nd pursue it art aJJ thnes or it will soon. cea.se to be a, so-ciety. But a s.E:Jorja,tion i:-, also essentjal. T'hus the society is one of the most potent fa.c~ors h1 college· life, for developing the thorough man. Num­erou.,:,, other advantages are reaped. by'n1mnhe·rship in ai s.ociety, but tliis one great advantage alone should induce the thorougih .student to enter society life. We · have a nun1be:r of well or­g-anized societies of vvhich we justly fee1l prou~l. ·~1e:nlbeTship

in one or more of these will certainly produce lasting resuits f~r the betteT in every stl~dent. ·

Considering their various and. unusual handkaps their success· w.as admirable. They bequea,thed '13 a stJlendid exa:n1ple, and hence deserved no 1nean a.ccount. o.f rr(_~cUt. So with .such an exa1nple before thm · '13, powerful in num.[,,e·r and· quality . ought, without a dpubt, to make this: a banner year for class organiza,tions. Their success ought to exceed that of '12, a:nd this ·we wHl expe~ct.. Under such coin­petent leaders as 1\1r. Thomas Harrison, Presid·ent; and Mr. Gilhert Flynn, Vice-Pre!sident; 1\1r. T'ilnothy Rowan, Secre­tary; and M.:r. Francis: Brady, Treasurer, this class can be de­pencled upon to n1ake this year a "hununer." However, they expect, and sure1y will recejve, the hardy co-operation of the Juniors, Sophn1ore and Fre.shn1an ·classes.

On October 5th Notre Dame .overwheln1ed St. Viator by a s.core o.f 116 to 7 at Notre D1amre. Tlhe Notre Dan11e n1·en outweighed us by probably forty . pounds. to the· 1na.n and thart fact arlone speaks. fOr the terrible defeat. St. Viator against . . such great oddrs played a_ plucky game, fighting until the: end. Notre D.an1.e's mHrinHta'Y _consisted in interference' which ·warS• almost impregnable. · MeGee1, St .. Viator?s right end, . was the

, only Ii1an tha!t c-ouldi breaik up their int.erfeTern.ce with effe,ct which he did tin1,e and tlime agalin. · His1 -work arlone was. so wonderful thwt the Notre Drame supporter'S! rSOOn got tired cheering, his pla~s .rundJ could s~m.ply ga1p in theh" astonish­n1e·nt. vVe ha1ve also every rea1S:Olll to be:lieve tha1t E:ic:henlaiU b a1nd a few other star' de.fender.s o:fJ the "Gold and' Blue" were much surprised at the \York of our little. right end. vV erlch, our right h:wlfba1ck, purt1 up the battle of his life. At aill mo­Inents -of the ga:Ine he ·was in ~he thi~k of the fra:y. Notre D·ame's back field isi eaisily one of the best, in the country, with E'ichenlaub and D1orad:s1, srtaJrls.. T!he work of these two play­ers was a: feUJture. Not a1s the score would s:een1 to indicate· the ga,m·e , w.ws und:e1r the circ:umstanceiSI a brilliant orne a1nd better ·work eould not pos,sribly be expected of St. Viator. Notre Darm·e started the fi1~st: qUia:rter with a rush a;nd- a1 hang taking the advaill.tage right from the st.a1rt. Be:fore· the· clo·s·e of the pe:riod, Berg'~er had m:ade- three touchdowns:: Doraris h.ad kicked goal three tim.es. In- the heginningr 9-f . the sec­ond qu1arrter Sthe1rman, St. Via1tor's left ·ernd., picked up the ball on a fumble on Notre D'a.mle sixty yard line and Slcored our first touch down.
