The Mo th e rs Club of St. Viator College held a s pecial melting in th e Sorority room s of Marsi le H a ll, March fou rteenth.

The evening was featured by th e lecture delive r ed by Dr. E. V. Car dinal, C. S. V., head of the History d epartment, on the s ubject of Italy 's d ictator Premier, Musso lini.

Dr. Cardinal is an authority on Italian political life having s pent considerable time there while writing on his doctorate dissertation- Cardinal Campeggio.

The College orchestra p layed several modern selections during th e course of th e evening.

The members of the Social Sorority h elped to serve the luncheon which con· eluded the evening.

The Sorority boasts of new and very beautif ul draperies purchased from the proceeds of their many entertainments which have done so much to enliven th e social life of the college.

The retreat, being on e of the most important events it! th e college calendar is fittingly held at th e end of the Holy Sea.Son of Lent including those so rrowful days of H oly Week, Thursday until Saturday.

With it the long period of self denial is closed- a time of introspec tion.

A Gr eat Orator The selection of Fr. Shea fo r Retreat Master is a particularly happy one.

A graduate of beth the Academy, 1912, and t he College of St. Viator, 1916, he taught while he studied theology.

After finishing his studies at St. Paul he was ordained in 1921 a t Peoria, by Mos t Rev. Edmund 1\II. Dunne.

He was assigner! to H oly Trinity Parish, Bloomington where he se rved until 1928, whell! he was called to P eoria to aCt as Chancellor of the diocese. Desiring t o take up parish work again, his ap pointment as successor to the late Fr. Cannon at St. Mary's, Pontiac, August, 1932, was most welcome. His farewell address in St. Mary's Cathedral, Peoria, w here h e had bee n so well appr eciated was a masterly oration, and his many friends were deeply moved by it, as well as by his r etire m ent from th e chancellorship which occasioned it.

Robert A. Nolan, De bate Manager, has announced that a rrangements are being made for a debate with Rosary College of River Forest, Illinois .

F ro m hen ceforth now, sa.ith th e Spirit, tha t they may r est :rom their labours, fo r their works follow them".

Mo r e than seven:y years ago, the word of t he Lord came to young Moses J osep h Marsile, in his happy and holy Can ad ian h ome, aski ng hi m to give up fa ther and mother , houses and lauds, h ope of a brigh t career ia th e world tha t he m ig h t, r eceive "an h undred fold and possess life eve rl asting" .

Thoug h n o son loved h ome and wor shipped mother m ore, though none could see the beau ties of t he wo rld in thei r m ost alluring color s better than his poe ti c ey e, thou g h none co ul d enjoy t he sens ible pleasures of the w or ld m ore th a t h is emotion al n a ture, he for sw ore t hem all and p r omptly answe r ed , "Speak Lord Thy serva nt h earet h" , " I come".

I am convinced "We may not look upo n his like again". But his voice wi ll not die, it wi ll sing to u s fr om his poetr y, from "The La uren t iades" and epic on t he Re ligious Conquest of the St. Lawrence.

Young, tail , s lende r in form, g r acef ul in eve ry movement, eyes t hat spoke of me llowed love, a com plexion t anned wi th poe ti c pale, no ble brow cro wned with profusion of raven ri nglets, orderly in the ir nncombed d isorderlin ess.

For a time, his soul was r acked bet ween love and ha te, love fo r h is o language, t hat w:as m ilk and hone y to his lips, and hate fo r the E ng lish language that was disco r d and jargon to his Gallic ea r .

I n humility he wr ough t and labored and s tudied and increased in g r ace and good works befor e God and man.

Fif t yfive years ago he was elevated to th e ho ly p ri es thood in this Sanctua ry, a t this Alt ar, by the then Bishop Tho rna!:i Foley of Chicago.

Into this g loom of despair shone the r adiant ligh t of hope with the election and confinnation of Father Ma rs ile as presiden t.

T he Community of St. Vi ato r's was poo r in worldly goods.

They did not select the new President for his financial ability-he did not k now t hen and be never learned how to coun t money co r rectly- but they saw in him a priest after God's own heart, pas sessing wealth t hat is not coined by princes or potentates, but current wi t h the "King of Kings" and Ruler o f th e universe.

H e was selected because he was preeminentl y a man of love, a man who loved God above all

which was magnifi cent, but because

PRESIDENT RECEIVES LETTER FROM ALUMNUS; TRIBUTE TO FR. MARSILE i

~e:~~r~~t

hi s kiss which to all o! us was a ben ediction, and his blessi n g g lven, from his great and loving heart at parting, are moments to be treasured in th e heart foreve r .

Yes, he truly "Walks with God", now, and yet hi s sweet sim plicity will b ring him to a close relation with Him, that is to leave cheer in the \'tearts of those who loved him and :.~.ccept Th e Christ as our Mast er too.

Father Marsile is not far away. He i 8 not los t to us, th e only tear s I can s hed are for the loss I personal ly have sustained in his mortal self being away, for he i3 still !lere, and can always hear h i > voice, and see his smile, and his ' M y Son" , when ever I wish, a:nd his life wirl always be one by which th e young men of S t . Viateur may mould their Jives.

His memo ry w ill always las t , and mere words cannot add to the luster of his name, although fame and greatness were far fr om the goal of his endeavor.

The marble and br onze memorials we may p lace around to his memory, are but t r ansitory, as compared to the love and respect implanted in the nearts of all wh o

just my present on es to his ltnew him, by his swee t simplicity

I cannot g ri eve for his memory, nor can I mo um !or bim, as we who sincerely loved him know of the long, useful lite he bad li ved.

His life was absolutely devoted to the service of h is f ellow man, and to t he better men t of th e wo r ld, and he achieved thi.s w ork th r ough his own lite and example more than by sermon or teaching.

The r e is ve ry littJe that he said to me t hat ls not firm ly implant ed in my hear t, wher e t hrough all the years it has ! lowe r ed and (I pray) bo rn f ruit o m a ke me a bett er man.

No, we cannot grieve or mourn tor him now, for he is realizing the beauty of fulfi llment of h is g ood deeds and loving acts.

It is t r ue he leaves a vacancy in a ll ou r lives who knew

and greatness.

And so I cannot say "May be r est in peace"-fo r the faith in my heart. tells me he does rest in peace, and it is grand to feel that his life h as been so deserving o! the rewards of Hea ven.

Will you, for m e, who loved hire, me rely think sometime of me when you a r e vis iting his grave, and whisper over his dust, "The sons w h om you watched over and whose prayers you directed still cherish your m emory, and their love fo r you can never be tor n from their hearts".

God kee p him, and may He extend all blessings over St. Viateur Coll ege and all of you w ho are in autho rity over it, th e young me n who are attending it, and last but not leas t, you

Having Jl s tened to a drama tization of that remarkable book- "The Education Of A Princess", by Marie, Grand Duchess of Russia - the thought of our own produc tion of "The Mikado" comes to th e fore. W e wonder how many s tud ents are aware that a really splendid orchestra, formed to accompany the oper etta exists on th e campus.

Under the baton of Miss Gillette a group composed large School into &

of College students and a number of Kankak ee High s tudents has bee n developed splendid musical organization.

We can' t let the early springtime pass without some editorial comment.

It really doesn't matter that a rather fier ce snow s torm is rag ing outside our win dows-spring is great-birds singing, grasses growing greener, white clouds floating . across blue skies, buds budding, heavy hearts s ighing , then winging, soaring-and soon the lilacs will be in bloom, and that is a sight worth coming some littl e d is tance to see. For those of us who are Seniors, it is just a bit sad, too.
