surprised at the sight of her that
they stopped firing. 1t was not

fort with the precious box in her
hand that they realized what she

say that in no sphere of life here
has there been more uniform dis
tinction than in the fulhllment of
the duties OF the rectorship of II.

bcnts OF this post. for that is not
the nature OF their calling, but
every one Of them has been a
learned scholar. kind and sym

spirited citizen. as we'll as being

They have all been a force for
good and have left an indclible
imprint here.

Father John 5. foohey. who for
the past three years has been tho
Rector, and whose leavc-taking
tomorrow is matter OF deep
sorrow and regret to the whole
community, and particularly to
those whom he has served SO
faithfully and well.
And such, too, is the Reverend
Father Cornelius ] Warren. who
has come as Father Toohey's sue

his immediate predecessor at st
Mary's. Father Warren is really

Every once in while some
body arises to administer a punch
TO the ancient but classic Greek
and Latin languages, but higher
institutions of learning continue
to hold them in reverence and To
permit them to occupy important
positions in their courses of cul-

so doing it will be~well to leave
TO the educators themselves. some
of whom are coming to regard
the classical languages less in the
light of being sacred.
Evidently among these is Al
