Ga. Father Hildebrand's experience
as disciplinarian at ST. Johns Uni
yersity for five years, and his initia-
tive and activity in parish work, will
be of great assistance to him in help
ing the boys in the camps and at the
front. He organized company of
cadets during his short stay at Man
dan, n. d., and, shortly after his ap-
pointment to st. Cloud, he organized
a company at the Catholic Club, now
the st. Cloud Institute. His activity
manifested itself in many ways, must
cal and dramatic. Just as he left Man
dan, after but a short stay, with the
regrets of the people among whom he
worked, so he left st. Cloud, after
working there faithfully for five
years. The many and generous gifts
he received just before he left be-
taken the love and esteem he enjoyed.
