The foll owing urlrlrrss is Rcv. J. Lef n~y's f•lr' qurnt. :t11swf'r tn a toast to F tl,thcr R<~y, given at the Memorial lla.nqnet, June 27. l~e v. F:athc r~, nnfl Gentlemen. For me :tn<l f.,r n g1·rat.mn.ny ol'ns here prc~rnt; f,n· those el'opeci a 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 b een 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. L et me t-hen be prrmitted t o 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.~ B o urget 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. R oy received his mi ssion to the far-off and then unknown B•mrbonnai,. ·w ithout 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 giv e you the history of tll e ioundation of the college; it will b~ giv en to yon by an~tber one; but le t it sufll<:e for me to sny th a 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'a me 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 continn e<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 constitntio ••. 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 b ehnlf it had been his j ny so enrnestly and entirl'!y to consPcrate his whol e 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 ,w itness 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 field s. He dierl the death o f the jus t on the 2nd. of July, 1879. His remains were inten-ed with clue religiou s 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-

Most Rev. and Beloved Archbishop, If life is but a weary pilgrim::1.ge Through de;-:ert sands of n ni versa! grief, H a ve 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 <â&#x20AC;˘Ur lives a lig ht so pure That its bright beam ab iding in our sight, Will stre.ngtllen us our sorrows to enâ&#x20AC;˘ lure? Of thi s our resting pl ace both frtosb and free, You are, dear Father, as the kind palm tree, The chief honor and so nrce of joy plenteous, Extend ing ever yom pro tection bo~n t&o u s. As children, now with full delight we do Bask in our F ather':: kind benignant smile, And vft him with li ps and hear ts all true, Y uuth's hearty welcome without g uile. Be welcome th en, among St. Viateur's sons, Among your own now b.-i ng 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 kin d attention ever lent H ave nerved our youthful minds on studies bent. Our hearts with all their lvve are yours as well; F or 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. Students 'of 1887 and 1888.

In answer to the invita tion issued l;>y the "Grand P acific Convention" of May the 20th. a good number of th e form er stud ents met at the Coll ege, June the 26th. Accordin g to arrangemf>nts made by the committee, as a nnou nced on :-)T. Y IATEUR's JouRNAL, it was :1greed by :11l to rem ain until the 27t.h. in o rrl er to transaet bm:;iness, etc., etc. At 10 o'clork, "\Vednesday Jun e 27 the meeting of t he Roy Memori a l Associ a tion was called to ord er by th e Pres id ent, Rev. H. Boeckleman n. Owing to the abHence of Rev. G. Legris, Secty., it was un an 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 r ead, on request of the Rev. Chai rman, and accepted as minutes. Meeting of the Old Students, Commencement n . ~y, Jun e 23, 1887. Never before in the annals of St. Viateur's, was such a large number of former stud ents seen gathering about their Alma l\Iat er as was witnessed this year. This unusual, not to say un expe0ted 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 fo r their early college home see m to have been aro nse d a mong the Alumni as if by the magic of contact. The recalling of fami liar nam es, the recounting of school-d ay tri cks so long si lenced, the interchanging of general thought so long pen t up, all gushed freely fo rth durin g the hours that preceded the opening of the exercises. R eally it was regaling to see bow immensely the gentlemen enjoyed one another 's company. Towards the close of the tlay's prog ramm e 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 i n the Study Ha ll 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 th e 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, no w 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. ,steps might now be tnken towards the erection of a ~, monum e nt, or mem orial h:-tll in honor of our first di -rector. The "l{oy l\'lP. mor ial H:dl" S()e tn3 to have beeu 'dec id ed 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 t o no hasty action . .So a committee was dec ted to make :urangements !fc•r a larger gatheri ng 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 .

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.

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 disctBs ion 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 th e 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,

Strangtl as it mny seem, it is nevertheless true that for the grarluating students, this hou r brings toge t.ber with all its triumphs one sad thoug ht1 the thought of ll.'av in g fiJr good a retreat where we !tave ta~ ted such sweet sec nrity and h:tve reaped such harvests ofkno111lerlge; a home aro uud whi cb a ll our aff~: t icms l~>we ce ntered a nd abo ut which tbey I ave becot: e so clo::-ely entwined, that the necessity of now Fever ing these with ·bolrling cords of attachment, pains tLe hea rt, a nd makes the soul pensive.

Before taking our leave ofyou, dear Director a nd t'PSpected professors, allow us io ex prei's our sincere thankfulness :lor the constant and enlightenerl zeal yon hnve displayed in ou t· behalf.

ADDRESS OF WELCOME TO FORMER STUDENTS. BY MR.
Jo sEPH 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 hith er 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 .a nd 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 imm An 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 ecure ly 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 110w 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 togeth er shect upon your wuls the warm glow of pleasant souvenirs! This brilliant gathering will deserve to be imcribcd amongst the most memorabl e events in the a·n nals 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 cordia l patronnge she will behold her horiwn widening a nd her 8pltere of activn becoming more and more ample ; and those who come after ns and will have been nomished by her in creased 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.
