MEMORIAL DAY ADDRESS

BY E. J. BUNT

Today we are commemorating the who are her s tude nts as they were, "i''theosts of that most d!Jficult of who have worked aod played within all human gallantries, self-renuncia- her walls and on her campus as they Uon..

It is in the nature of man to did, who have known the same s mall admire tn others what is most diffi - triumphs and disappointments, the

cul t o! accomplishment for himself and that is th e ultimate r eason w h y we are d ecorating the graves of our heroes.

For t o us who hug so closeIy to our hearts those precious entities that we call h ome and parents and worldly su ccess, there ls something as inspiring as it is incompresensible in th e sp ectable of men who choose to fling the world and their lives away for the sake of an ideal.

Monuments of unselfishness about whose base we pygm y men who are neithe r great nor generous play th e petty games of everday life, stand majestically aloof amid the welter of passing ce nturies, immortalized because they gave their all for country or for creed.

It matter s not to them that now thei r country may be untrue to their sa.crifice; that the ashes on the altars of their god are cold, aod grass grows long In the hol y of holies; their deaths have ereated for th em a world that is imp erishable, a temple fairer than architect ever conceived,-the hearts of men.

Sparta 's a word, but Thermopylae is a flame and a challenge.

The Zeus of Pbldtas has vanished from the face of the earth, aod the Parthenon is crumbling into dust, but the ancient tale of how a man named Socrates drank hemlock in the gatherlng shadows of ao Athenian afternoon will live forever on th e lips of mankind.

Indeed , to die that others may live, and live more nobl y, is such a splendid and exalted act that God Himself thought it not unfitting so to J>Our. out his life in the shame and g lory of Calvary.

It was d e Who made this h er oism , r enunciation, a sacrament, of Which onl y the bravest aod s tronges t may partake. What men had don e befor e out of the unaided r eso urces of their own nature they did from that day of Golgotha with th e a dded Inspiration of a Divine Exemplar.

Today we honor those who within our own memory have followed where H e and th e greatest or every age h ave led, who h ave died, not on s caffold or g ibbet, but In th e Infinitely greater lonelin ess of a battlefield whe r e nations, not armies, wer e at war.

For this we ll-nig h incr edible spirit of sac rifice is n ot th e mo nop oly of aoy p arti cular age or place.

It is a m anifestation of a sublime iJinpulse that comes to m e regardless of their g ene ration or nationality.

Our ce ntury has been g lorified by th e spirit of utter self-for g e tfuln ess which prompted its youth t o go fort h to dea t h In th e b elief that t hey were freeing th e world of an ug ly and dange rous fo rm of impe rialism.

A kind of be nedi c tion irradia ting from the grande ur o f tha t s ac rifice s treams ove r th e n a ti on into eve ry tov.rn and village, ever y hom e an d school th a t h a ve k nown th e tread of h ero f ee t.

P e rh a ps it is because lhe C ross and M a rs ille H a ll lifts itself triumph antl y t o t he sk y that it seems to catch a more brilliant r a.y th an some of the m or e pre t entious b uildi ngs in the land . Or pe rh aps th e soldier d ead loves t o bathe th at symbol of sacrif ice in his own g lory . In any case St. Viato r College righ tfull y d eserv es h e r r ad iant nim bus, fo r sh e t oo h as nurtured heroes.

In her class rooms she has molded intellects and trained. wills tor the SUJlr eme gift of self; and the eage r li mbs she strengthened

same dreams of success and halfsmoth er ed f ears of failure, should be chosen by her to pay tribute to her beloved dead.

It is especially appropriate that we who this afternoon a r e to attain what they too had hopes of ultimately a ch ieving, should have a part in honoring th em , Vict or men a ll, not one whit less n oble than their brethem of Oxford"Who took th e khaki and the gun Inc tead of cap and gown".

For u s the diploma is an indication that our college education has been com pleted ; th e sheepskin that they received on the fields of Flanders was a passport to eternal life.

It is well to r e member what in our en thusiasm fo r the spirtt that prompted this holocaust we are prone to torget-that the nobility of these who have died is not a justification nor a eulogy of what conditioned their death.

Let it not be imagined that because we admire the beauty of their s acrifice we approve the occa.sion which necessitated it.

No sane man would dream of formulating a panegyric on crucifixion or death at the stake of such, merely because God aod many of His saints have died by the one method or the othe r.

It is the ideal for which th ey died that is the sour ce of their fame. But ideals may demand lives as their due only when they are higher and more important than life, and they are worthy of the sacrifice only when they canno t otherwise be realized.

The Ideals of patriotism and of human liberty have again required that blood be shed for their sak e.

Undoubtedly many who died in the last conflic t believed firmly in th e r eality aod the worth of the ideals for whose safety the war was being fought.

In the di sillusion of the post-war era w e have seen that the ideal was not pure n or the sacrifice n ecessary.

In th e sacred name of liberty and patriotism a few blind a nd s tupid statesmen sent the world into a war, whose onl y vic tors were the dead .

It ts sublime and beautiful that m e n s hould hold their ll ves cheap in th e purchase of a lasting be nefit for themselves and th ei r fel lows, but for those who spi ll the blood of others deceiUully and needlessly there can be oniy hatred aod contempt.

Woe to those who dare to lay hands on the most preciou s treasur es of th e r ace, its ideals, and bend t hem to th eir own selfis h ends .

Th ere is an old and tragic s tory of how, long ago, Yo uth h eard th at God was passing by, and wishing to bonor h is Creator he b ethough t himself what he had t o offer .

H e searched his abode f rom floor t o roof Ln an effort to find a gift wor t hy o! the R ecipient, and th e loveliest objec t h e co uld di scove r was an alabaste r vase th a t his pa r e n ts h a d purch ased at great expense w hen h e w as bor n, and whose valu e h e h a d inc r eased by filling it with s pikenard, hoping that some day h e might bequeath it to his children .

But the bes t h e had was poor en oug h for th e Mas t er, and so wi thout thoug ht of his loss h e ca ugh t u p the p recious treasure and hu rried t h roug ht the s treet s to the house wh er e God was r es ting , in the hope tha t although th e gift was not magnifice nt, its exquisi t e wo rkmanshlp migh t find some favo r in God'<J sight.

H e elbowed his way through

in the gymnaisum aod on the g ri d- the crowd at the doo r, aod asked iron we r e made r eady !or the guil1- from some who stood abou t wher e lng toll marches .

H e r cbildr eo they he would find the Mas t e r amon g were, and although she is proud of those seated at the table. Now ther e t bem she Is also sad because they were in the house certain men who are hers no longe r , since they belong saw the perfec t thing that he carto the ages.

It is fi t ting tha t we 1 ried, aod divined his p urpose. They

l essness of wh a t he held , and they

said t o themsel ves , " God needs it not, for H e has more already than he can use ; but ou r p ro,phet, whose name is Personal Advantage, sits yonder , alone and dishonor ed , and he is a connoi ~seur of th e beauillul.

Let this r ash Youth unknowingly offer him the gift" . so they said t o the Youth , "Ther e is he whom you seek". And Yout~, who was unschooled 1n the ways of th e world , prostrated himself in the dust before th e figure whose face was hidden in th e s hadow, and breaking the precious vase of life at its slender s t em, poured over those unworthy feet th e precious distillation of his dreams.

Turning t o look up into the kind eyes of God, he found th a t he had anointed with all he had the feet of Mammon.

It is for us to prevent a r epetition of this tragedy.

Let the spirit of renunciation be manifes ted in th e su bstitution of unselfishness for the destructive selfishness of nationalism and the vaulting pride of individual men.

Then there can be no Pharisees to stand about the door, misdirecting those who come with gifts for God. And then that sacrament of renunciation of which we have . spoken cannot be profaoed by the unworthiness of those who would administer it to others for their own advantage.

For it will be partaken of that we may have peace, not war, and it will sanctify not only those who approach to r eceive it, but all the world b eside.

JOHN C. COMISKEY "Jack" Kinsman, Dlinois Class Treasu r e r 2 Viatorian 2 After r eceiving his sheep-ski n from St. Viator Academy, J ack decided tha t h e r e was an institution wh ich could offe r him a College education whic h might stand up with any offered by numerable othe rs througho ut the State.

A lso, the compaoionsbips th a t he h ad already formed shortly after his arrival w ere many, and h e concluded that h e re lay his grea tes t opportWlities.

W e, th e r esident s tudents have come to look upon him as one of us, since he took up his a bode so close t o th e campus.

Despite th e f ac t th a t it was im,possible for Jack t o engage in any athle ti c acti vities, neve rth eless h e was ve ry a c tive abou t th e campus.

His unass uming mann e r and good na ture ha ve m ade him eve r we lco m e amon gs t a ll s tu dents and gro ups on the camp us.

His p leasing smi le and r eady wi t hav e made him one of t he mos t pop ul a r stu de nts on and off t he campu s.

Du ring his six years r esidence in Bourbonnais he has been a most hospitable host to innummer able of his friends among residen t and day students.

Unchanging Principles In Changing World

J. KENNETH B USBJ\IAN Man is a wande r e r eve r confron t ed with the mys tery of three great questions- When ce came ! - What am IWhither am I going.

In th e beginning the unive rse was in a ch aos , but th e Creator gave it ce r tai n guiding principles from which order ens ued.

To man, th e a,potheosis of His cr eati ve powers, He gave a capaci ty to appreciate and fo llow three great princi ples which are to r emain in exis t ence, howev er, much their supremacy may be questioned, until the endof time.

Experience h as shown t hat w h en they are forgotten the world ass um es th e app earan ce of a madhouse and life becomes an empty vanity.

When they are understood and accepted as guides sorrow and pain lose th eir bitterness. They purify the soul with the purging fires of sarcifice and suffering. When man has a deep unders tanding of them there comes into being the "phllosopher klng", Plato's conception of the Ideal ruler, the poet, loveliest of nature's works, and the saint, most exalted of blngs.

Xhese principles a re Truth, B eauty and Justice.

Through the ages those m inds which have towered above their contemporaries rearing stately towers uf thought to pierce the h eavens have ever loved these great principles with a pure and devoted love that partakes o! divineity.

They have s triven to establish them more fully as the guiding forces In the lives of their fellow m en.

These f ew choice souls have dominated history, for they are the flower of humanity, the quintessence of human a chi evement and dignity .

Humao philosophy seemed to have r eached the s ummit of perfectlon with Plato in ancient Greece.

But it paled befor e Divine Tru th made incarnate in Jesus Christ.

He came to be the way and the life of mankind.

He came to confirm th~ biblcal answer to the ete rnal question Whence came I, and h e taught the appreciation in humility of the 1 innate greatness of a human soul.

H e htmself was the answe r to the brooding query-Whither am I going.

Christ Himself is Truth. He is th e divine philos()J)her.

Th a t he did not speak In verse does not obscure m e fact that his was th e most perfec tl y poetic souJ the world will eve r know.

For in him the statemen t made by the poet of b eauty, K eats, that "Beauty is Truth, Truth Be'auty" found 1 its only realisation.

The percepti ven ess, th e purity of poe ti c genius wer e present in s upreme d egree in the Christ.

While Truth is the g reates t of th e three principles, Beaut y holds us more easily.

In th e wo rd s of K eat s : A thing of b eauty is a joy forever Its loveliness increases ; it wi ll n eve r Pass into noth ingness, but s till w ill k eep A bowe r qui e t ror us and a s leep Full of s wee t d r eams and h ealth and qui et brea thing.

He who possesses a p er ception of B eauty can ne ver fee l life to be utt erly wi tho ut m eanin g , ye t without Truth h e wi ll ever be co ns cious of some th ing essen ti a l lack ing in his answer to t hose th ree question s . Th is accoun ts fo r the sadn ess n eve r sepa r a te f rom t he life of a g rea t peo t who h as no t possession of re veal ed T ruth. d f th . . . h The t hi r od ~d pnn~tp 1e; ~ ~u~ s poke n of, an se j om ouhnl . lu tit e man who is t ruly ust In s rea ons to his Creator , himself and his tellow man is th e greatest boon to

We r ejoice with him in knowin g that h e has made his mark In ail his studies, but we will sincer ely regret his leaving us.

Handlcaps will courage will overcome all obstacles be mere stepping stones fo r thls in- which might confront him ln the new dividual, whose determination aod life which he Is about to begin.

H e has the courage to fors ak e all for th e prin ci ples of rig h t.

Ju stice is as un c hanging as th e first or the second prin ciples for certain laws a re in forc e d emanding lhat it be r end er ed all.

They are fr equ ently flouted, but th eir exis t en ce is a r eassuarance fo r all who seek the m.

These three principles are ideals and man evermore turns toward them whe n he fe els his material s upports slipping from him .

H e finds that they alone are un changing in a world wher e all is mutable. Fame, honor, wealth are won, but if these principles are not present th e sou l of man must sear ch furth er for its true bourn e of happiness. Until it looks upward and perceives these calm beacon lights of human and divine wisdom it w ill n eve r have peace. r.t is th e wandering away from these fundemental principl es in our great edu cational centers of today th a t presents the pitia ble sght of man taugh t, sometmes not very well at that, bow to earn a lving a t the expense of his tearing how to live.

The univer s ity that aims at material good alone is deliberately sealing its doom, by closing doors to its s tudents, doo r s th a t would lead them to a. realization of these great principles of life.

It chooses for Its s tudents 1 thâ&#x20AC;˘ lesser part, aod of that th ey cao never be sure.

But that man who is taught to devote his life to a faithful search for e t ernal and unchanging truth, for the b eauty , hat is all round and in him who s ha.pes his life to th e patte rn of a nobl e conception of jus ti ce is never wholl y without support.

H e is desirous of developing his na tive powers into charact er, th e on e¡ asset no depress ian can attack o r carry away. Each must do this for h imself. The words of philosophers and poets may help to g uid e him, but t h e ve r y fact of searching them out cons titutes th eir greatest valu e. In this way man fo llows that great axiom of Aristotle "Know Thyself" .

The scales of rnateriallsm fall f rom his inne r eyes. H t becomes more sensitive t o the sorrow an d evil in th e wo rl d, only t o f ind h is a preciation of th e b eautifu l and good propor tionately increas ed.

He attains a breadth of vis ion, a calmness of jud g m ent and brilliance of though t that th e wo r ds of Byron that " Know ledge is Sorrow". This is th e true and ideal product of a university.

Anyth ing short of it is not real education but m e re development of a cer tain skill in m en t al gymna.stics.

It is the purpose of a uni vers ity t o pres erve as a s a c red trust th e pas session or these th r ee great princtpies, to lead youth to t h e fo unta in or learnin g whe r e, refresh ed with bea ut y, it is prepared to g o in search of Truth and Jus ti ce and to corre la t e a ll hnowledge into a gr eat movin g priDcipl e, a unity known as lile.

The ideal m en who a re taugh t t o li ve as well as how t o earn a li ving co n stitute th e bes t c itizen s of t he wo rld and of h eaven .

In t he eyes of God and of th eir fe llowmen they a r e beautiful t o beho ld. N owhe r e can t his ideal be so well reali zed as in a cat ho lic College or Unive rs ity. Fo r there T ruth , bo th h uman and divine is fi rml y es t ab lished, Beauty is tri ump han tl y eff ul gent, a nd Jus tice is t h e ac tin g princip le.

Yes, I h ave heard about two words; and now and then three words-but "They Satisfy" means"To gratify fully. " Why do these two word s " they sat isfy " fit Chesterfields? Because Chesterfield Cigarettes are milder. Because Chesterfield Cigarettes taste better.

Chesterfield's way of blending and cross-blending fine Turkish and D omestic tobaccos brings out better flavor and aroma.

Llgbt was the first gift of the Cre It came into the wor ld befor e man himselt was born.

In creating man, God made a cr eature o! two distlnCt parts--the body, and the souL To each part was assigned a du ty-to the body was gwen the duty ot supplying itsell with food, that It might prolong its ex!s tence; clothing, that it might not ! r eeze; shelter, that it might be p r otected a.galrult the inclemency o! the weather.

To the 80ul was given the d uty of fostering its two faculties-the intellect and the will.

The will in ltsell, Is blind, but God gave to man an intellect-rell80n-to gulde that will.

That rell80n, stunted in ignorance, und eveloped by education, is utterly powerless.

By the voice of nature, then, man cries aloud for education-tor llghL The Catholic Church depends mor e upon that light than any other lnsti tutlon in the world.

Consld.e r h er dogma.

Without light there can be no aalvapon, tor the act o! tai th while It Is a submission to the pro nouncements of God, Is none the less an intellectual act.

The will may command the intellect to bow down and belleve, but the essential ac t of faith is an act of intelligence, of receiving ilght and accepting it. Light therefore, is knowledge, and th e Church could not exis t without know ledge.

The necessity for answering this call tor light, then, comes naturally to that institution that bas th e attainmen t of the vlslon as Its end Realizing Its duty towards its children, the Catholic Chu rch bas been the careful mother of education and lnstrucUon. She has spread her light over th e world, th e light not m e rely ot d!vlne, but of bumao knowledge.

man from a beast? Is It the strength Is it the gracefulness of form?

Is it a sense of superior sight or hearing?

We have not the sWiftness o< a stag, the strength of a lion, the keen sight ot a hawk. Yet the labo r of man must be distinguished !rom the brute labor of animals .

The dlstlnctlon lies in intellegence, in his ability to r ecognlze truth, justice, and beauty. The church alone r ecognized then, as It recognlzes now, that the education o! man must not stop with the satisfaction of the problems of the body, but must have as its primary end the satisfaction of the cry of the soul.

To that end has she dedicated her teachings and her schools.

In the w ords of her Master, "That you may have life, and have lt more abundan tly".

Toda y, j ust u in centuries o! old, the Church finds ltsell opposed by a school of the world. TOday she finds greater secular universiti es crying out to man, "Come to me, a.nd we will teach you bow to make a llvlng".

And the answering cry of the Church today, Just a.. in the a&"e• past, is, "Come to me, a.nd I shall t each you how to live !"

And while the secular halls of knowledge are uttered with a wreck ot incob erent systems she alone exhibits a theory ot knowledge co mplete ln ltaell', harmonious and consistent- the h eritage o! ages of ardous toll in the task ot giving to man llghL That heritage Is th e parting gift of every Catholic college to its students.

That Is the gift of SL Viator to us today.

And as h er childr en go for th, we r ealize that her ferven t prayer ls tnat even nobler th an the highest culture ot their intellects shall be th e culture sh e has Instilled in their hearts, t eaching them to find in the !ear of the Lord U>e beglnnlng of wisdom, and Its fullness In Him in whom alone are hid den all t he treasu r es of know ledge.

His leadership won him a position of honor in the H oly Name Society when he was yet a Freshman. This leadership has not dimlnlshed, ! or he has repeatedly held posts of great responsibility untu the very end of his college career.

The r e will be a base ball game In th e afternoon , but as yet, th e teams have not been picked.

But we may say with assu rance that lh e gam e will be one w ell worth watching as th ey always have been in p ast y ear s at these cele brations. For those who would prefe r themselves, t o indu lge, th e re will be t ennis , handball, or swi mming.

And there is no be tte r poo l t o be found- non e so cool and r e fr es hlng~as that of S t. Viato r' s, at the gymn asiu m .
