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,n d amniversa.r y of his ordination o·n S-eptember the t:we,l fth at the , General l\!lh therhouse of the Order in B russels, Belgium,.

T1he entire life of the vene:r able Father La,joie has be·e n tha.t. of a; "m1a1n of God," an:d: sinee1the 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,t ion, even , in1t.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,r ochial Schools of his native city, St. J ean de B~arptis.te de R.o u.v ille'. At .an ea,r ly a;ge, he attended the Viat,o rian Schools:, completing bis studies with greatest possible success and honor. Erven as. a child he: pos:ses:s ed 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,f ter the: erection of the Ca,n adian 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·v ery hnportant post of duty in the ComInunity. S carcely had he pronounced his. vows, than he was a1e:si ~n ecl a professorship a1 t 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,s1appointed Dire:etol'" of St. E1ljzabeth's School, .a:fter which he was r e-a:ppo,i nted! Dire1ctor of J qUiette Oollege, where he: a:lso pursued. his Tiheological studies, be~ing ordained on September the t,w elfth, 1852. H'a:ving successive1

ly been Director of Olh.ambly a1n d of J olliette Oolleg;es, his Superiors noting his spe;c ial ada,p ta,t ion 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,t her 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(),i ntment as Pl'"ovineial of the Gana:dian Obe:dience.

Unde·r his able guidance the Clommunity grew phenon1enaHy a,n d became onl~ of the most importa~nt tea,c hing Congregations in Oa.nada. A! few year.s' later, he was a.ppojnted foreig'n Vicar, and in 1881, he was summ:o ned 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 ·a s: early as the E\i ghties, 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 Geneora1 l for life.

T'r uly, it wou:ld see'm that one whose life hald be.e n sOi full of a~duous t:o il, ought at lais t find relief from; the n1ultiplicity of his labors; not so however with our beloved General; great and heart-rending trials ha.v e been laid , upon his vvilling shoulders, for during his period of Generalship nlany events ha1v e happened on ate count of the injustice of 1nen and Governm.e nts .that would have dismayed the heart of even a; N apoleon.

Perhaps the gre,UJtest .a1ffliction endured by our beloved Fa.t her, 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,m ies' and Pia·roaehiaT Schools.

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 triatl ·c ame from Hea1ven, and meekly taking up h~s crosts withoUJt aJ murmrur he pra(Yed in the ~uhlime wovds o:f Cihrist, "Father, ·T hy will not m ine 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:n d 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!a n, on Calvary prayed for tho's:e 'vho had crucified Hiw~"F a.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 atr my in Belgium, where the corrnmunity is at pre1s:ent flourishing und~r the prot.e:c tion of tha~t emminent.ly Ca1tholic 1\1onarchy. Ort.her m·em~bers: of the dommrunity we·r e .ste nt to Spa~in where ait VitOirja. is located the M'ortheThouse of the Spanish P~rovince which now poHSie·sses two elass~ieatl colleg1es and hag eontrol of serveral parochial schools>; still other reUgious were se:Q,t to Canada, but sad to say mtatny .of these succumbed to the s;e>vere Canadian clim'a te and bnt ferw of a1 lrurg1e barnd· ·reinain. F 'a:ther Lajoie's he,atrt however is wrapped up in the welfare of Fra1n ce 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 of the eom:m unity are teach in~ ars1 lay profes·s:ors.

With the opening of the present scholastic year St. Via,tor CoJlege entered on Hs forty-fifth yea.r as one of the foren1ost institutions of higher learning in the 11ifhlle .'l'he Progress West. This year St. Viator College has rea.chof ed the highest point in he·r developm-ent. The St. Vi£htor record of attendance of any previous yea.r has · College been surpassed· by the enrolhnent to date and numbers of new a.n d old students a~re arriving da.ily. O'lle importn:nt change· that marks the progress of St. Viator is the

elimination of the preparatory dep-a1rtment, hitherto one of the features of the college. Under the new sy;stem there are.. but three depa1rtments:;. the .Sem:inary, Collegiate and Acad;emic and ea1eh of these departm:e nts, is num.e rically larger than . at any other period in the history of the college. F 'r om· thegc facts_ it require.s' no grea,t a;mount of re:a,soning to deduce the conclusion that St. Viator College is making strides toward the first place among the Oa,t holic Goll ege'S in the - ~1:iCld1e \Vest. From a struggling college of a quarter of a1 century a.go, St. Via,t or toda:y stands; a model of emulation and a1n object of admiration for all her s:is,t er colleges. The rapid1 pro. g~·ess' and good fortune can be attributed on-ly to the ais,s iduity, -diligence and zea,I of the Oleries of St:. Viator.

T1HE VIATORIAN rejoices in the succe·s,s, of his: Ahna1JYla,ter and in the nam·e o.f that Alm!8.J ~1a;ter extends ai hearty welcon1e t.o the stude1nts of nineteen hundred and twelve.

B.u t tlh e first ·e nd of colleg'e life is to attain know ledge and to do this re·q uires a judicious employm.e nt of time and a fi:xed purpose.

Unfortunat~~ly some students' loose sight of these objects' and through too gJreat an inclinartion to enjoyment. and too great an aiVersion to study, make poor U1s1e . of t.hos:e' preciou:s hours ·which appear su numerous but are yet so few.

S.O C I-E TIES How to associate with our fellow·-men, is a .more serious proble1n than 1n.a.ny in1agjne. Clatreful a1n d earnest thought is required in its solution.

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:r e the student con1es into daily and intima,t e 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.

Notre Dame, 116; S.t. Via1tor, 7.

On October 5th Notre Dame .overwheln1ed St. Viator by a s.core o.f 116 to 7 at Notre D1a mre. Tlh e Notre Dan11e n1·e n outweighed us by probably forty .pounds. to the· 1na.n and thart fact arl one 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,c t which he did tin1,e and tlime agalin. · His1-work arl one was. so wonderful thwt the Notre Dra me supporter'S! rSOOn got tired cheering, his pla~s .rundJ could s~m.ply ga1p in theh" astonishn1e·n t. vVe ha1v e 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·a me's back field isi eaisily one of the best, in the country, with E'i chenlaub and D orad: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:r ter 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:r iod, Berg'~er had m:ade- three touchdowns:: Dorari s h.ad kicked goal three tim.es. In- the heginningr 9-f . the second qu1a rrter Sthe1rman, St. Via1tor's left ·ernd., picked up the ball on a fumble on Notre D'a.mle sixty yard line and Slc ored our first touch down.
