REV.THOMASJ. LYNCH
FORMER DEAN TEACHING AT CATHOLIC U. WILL STUDY FOR DOCTOR'S DEGREE A great teacher and scholar has departed from our midst to accept his rightful place in the literary worldA Father ''Tom" Lynch is no longer · Dean of Studies and H ead of the English Department, but has selected the nation's capitol as the scene of hls future labors. Cathollc University will gt:eatly profit by this action, but St. Viator suffers an enormous loss. It is said that be bad no great desire to leave the institution that had sheltered him, and at the same time had absorbed something lasting from hi s very presence, for nineteen years, but that the final offer made by the eastern school was too wonderful an opportunity to refuse. Although possessing an unsurpased knowledge of all th e branches of English literature, Father Lynch must put in the r equired residential period in Washington to secure .his Doctor's degree. However, during this time he will serve as an Associa te Professor in th e S\.1-bject so beloved by him.
All dur1n g his career as a teacher student at St. Viator, Father Lynch has been beloved both by his associates and his pupils. Many an underclassman, at first grumbling over the lengthy English assigiunents soon )earned that Father Lynch had a deep persp nal interes t in each and and

Mr. E. E. (Eddie) Gallabue, the genial and capable manager of the college for th e past two years, was the Dlinois s tudent who scor ed the highest. average to qualify for a Knights of Columbus post-graduate scholarship a t the Catholic Universit y this year . He has already begun his wo rk on a Docto.rate in Economics. It is with a great amount of real pleasure that we note the bestowal of t his rew.ard, but at the same time we deeply regret that he will no longer be with us. For Ed. Gallabue was the mos t reliable and sympathetic friend a s tudent could have. Although he was connected principally wi th the bus iness part of the ins titution's affairs, he was personally concerned with the trials and successes of each individual student. His high sense of appreciativeness will not soon be forgot ten. Many a student has a warm place in his heart for Ed. Gallahue because of the favors received from him. To enumerate some of these would be to intrude upon the bond that exis ted between him and the students. His was a difficult task, especially in these days of depression. H owever, he never forgot his smile, nor allowed worries to decrease his ef· ficiency. His place will be difficult to fill . Ed. Gallahue came to St. Viator from Piper City in 1923 and was graduated with the illustrious class of 1927. It was under hls directlo~ whlle .h e was yet a Senior, that most of th e work on the new gymnasium and refectory was completed. He taught book-keeping in the A cade my in 1927-19 28, and at the same time acted asassistant to the Rev. Daniel A. O'Connor, CSV, then treasurer of the college, and now principal of Cathedral H igh School, Springfield, Illinois. H e succeeded Father O'~ conner in 1930 as manage r of the college. The best wishes of the student body go with th e f uture Dr. Gallabue.

MAGUIRE GIVES SERMON A Solemn Mass of the Holy Gost ol!lciaily opened the sixty-fifth scholastic year at St. Viator on Wednesday morning, September 21st. Very Rev. J . W . R.

The mus ic for the occasion was furnished by a choi r under the direction of Rev. Eugene Suprenant,

FATHER MARZANO TAKES OVER NEW WORK At the beginning of the new scholastic year Father Christopher Marzano C. S . V . was appointed head of the treasurer's office. This work has in the past been handl ed by Edward Gallahue who is now attending the Catholic University in Washington, D. C. Apart "from this position Father Marzano also is the head of the science department and conduc ts several classes in chemistry. This work is not new for Father Marzano as he has held in the las t few years th e responsible position of treasurer of St. Viator's College. H e was r e· cently reappointed in this capacity in conjunction with his new work. F ather Marzano has several assistants under him, as the position d emands more time than can be given by one man. Brother Rowland, a g raduate of the Sorbonne, and who posses his doctor's degree in the scien ces is the first assistant. Leon Winterhalter, replacing Mr. Shea of 18.§t year is in charge of the bookkeeping. Another branch of the offlee that F ather Marzano has under (Continued on Page Six)
