Your records, whether scrutinized from a viewpoint of self advancement, or from that of La Salle's welfare, offei much ro recommend them favorably to all our earnest undergraduates.

If gives me particular pleasure to emphasize your spirit of loyalty, manifested continually in Hie interest of your Alma Mater. Obviously, there will he times during which this evidence of your support will have ample room for a more telling expression; probably, never more so than in the immediate future, as I.a Salle endeavors to solve the puzzling problems coincident with her greater expansion.

Tin- report that a majority of you have matriculated in out college, is timely encouraging; sunn- nl your classmates may pursue their college Studies elsewhere; hut. !v t)t;it as it may, such circumstances should nor separate the memben ol the class, nor prevent their attending the annual reunions. Your present admitLIKII class spirit is too valuable to let wane; ir should lie fostered and sustained, and the memory ol your high school days should lie fondly cherished and ever prove a vigorous incentive to bigger, better, and nobler things.

UROTNKR AH DAS. V. S. C. Brother Ahdas presided over the destinies of La Salle ;it, perhaps, the most critical period of her history. It was his foresight and sound practical judgment that enabled her to cope successfully with the siiuittinn, ant! to keep in the forefront along lines educational.

In speaking of Brother Ahdas recently ;i prominent alumnus of the College said: "His quiet, religious bearing inspired us with respect and

reverence;

HUOTHKR K. RICHARD, V. S. C. [917-1922

When the World War spread consternation throughout the nations ot the earth, and shook the very foundations ot civilization itself, it was fortunate for La Salic to have at her head a wise, prudent, and patriotic president in the person of Brothel E. Richard, whose skillful management ar this critical period could hardly be surpassed.

When the R. 0 . 1 . C. at Plattshurfj drew a large parr of the students. Brother Richard urged as m a n y ot the r e m a i n d e r as were eligible to join t h e S. A, T . C.i a n d there prepare t o d o their

"hit" in the cause of peace and democracy.

With what Students were left to him, he was behind every movement, civic and religious, for the advancement ot this great cause. Big-hearted and generous to a tault. He was never known to H fuse a

reasonable

request nor t o t u r n a deal ear

to the pleas oi those who needed assistance.

Unit hi i Richard is now- vice-president of St. Thomas' College. Scranton, and dean of the School ot Education.

BROTIIKR DENIS EDWARD, V. s. G. Brother Denis Edward, who at present occupies the chair ol philosophy at Sr. Thomas' College, Scranton, succeeded Brother Abdas in the presidency of La Salle. During the times of his incumbency, Brother Edward was ever active in the interest of the College. I U- spared no expense in fitting up classrooms ;nul equipping laboratories for the introduction of new courses, in order to meet the requirements laid down for higher institutions of learning. He traced his plans on a magnificent scale, ami It-It nothing undone to h.ave them carried out as originally designed. In support of this last statement, we have hut to recall tin- splendid manner in which he commemorated the Golden Jubilee pf rlu- College. Besides the eloquent public speakers among the alumni, he brought orators of international repute to address rfie assemblages; while men occupying high places iit church and state participated in the celebration, so that La Salle was, fora time, the cynosure of at] i\cs.

BROTHER G. LUCIAN, F. S. C. 1922-1925 Our loss is Scranton's gain. Nu doubt â&#x20AC;˘ readers have already noticed that of the four living ex-presidents of La Salle, ill lee of them are fni tin n aching staff" of Saint Thomas' College, While in charge of the administration of affairs at La Salic. Unit her Lucian was untiring in hi* lahors for the betterment of the College and, in particular, for the greater comfort and happiness ol the teaching corps.

I'nor to his assuming the headship. Brother Lucian had taught biology am! chemistry with remarkable success at La Sal It- for several years, so that he was perfectly cognizant of the direction ol the school and the wants of the community.

Closely iissoti.itid with Knit her Lucian, in the capacity of rice-president, was Brother Felician John, now president of Calvert Hall, Baltimore. Their work in connection with the science de parr nun ts of the college w.is outstanding.

Q^ ltn.ll

Retrospect It is characteristic of old age to grow reminiscent from time to time, especially when something occurs to change their aspect on life which renders the future conjectural. I hen it is that, perforce, they recall days of sunshine and shadow; days of gladness and gloom; days of prosperity and poverty, and they seem to derive considerable confutation from their varied reflections.

Institutions, like individuals, also have their dark and rheir light spots indicating prominent stages in the path of their existence.

I,a Salle College, now in the sixty-fifth year of her establishment, may be classed with tinie-honored institutions of learning, and the transferring of her location from the present site at Broad and Stiles Streets to Twentieth and 01 tiey Avenue is surely one of the most notable occurrences in the course of her otherwise uneventful existence; two reasons why we should hear with her paticnrlv while she relates the stor\ ul her life in her own homely way, and not become annoyed if in the narration she lingers long over some loving scenes that have touched her heart most closely.

Suing the necessity ol a College lor higher education in his metropolitan see, the Most Rev. James F. Wood, D.D., the Archbishop of Philadelphia, in conjunction with a committee, consisting of Reverend Clergy. Christian Hrothers, and laymen, obtained, in 1863, a charter incorporating La Salle College in Philadelphia. I he nucleus of La Salie had already been formed in September ISI-2, m what was then known IS the "Christian Brothers' Academy" and w^as attached to St. Michael's Parochial School at 1419 North Second Street. When, in 1S(i7, the number ul students, attending this academy, became too numerous for the accommodations afforded by the building on Second Street, the building at the northeast corner of Filbert and Juniper Srreers, was rented of the Most Rev, Archbishop for a consideration of MS(X) a year.

The total number of students received during the first year was one hundred seventy-five. During the next two years, the College progressed numerically and consequently financially also; so that, in September 1869, at the regular annual meeting of the Hoard of Managers, the President, Secretary, and Treasurer were authorized by the Hoard to purchase the College buildings for the sum of $30,000, !n his animal report at the meeting of the Board of Managers in 1870, the Pn sulent of the College stared: "During the last three years, the College lias been well patrom/ed. The average daily attendance was two hundred students.

Oui Facilities, to pursue the specified course, arc now complete. I have no doubt thai the College will continue to realize the public patronage and confidence which it has hitherto enjoyed," A special commercial department was opened this year, 1870, for the students whose parents desired a purely business education lot their sons.

I he students ol l.a Salle gave a grand concert in the Academy of Music on June 17, |S7:. commemorative of the twenty-seventh anniversary of the election nf Pope Pius IX. During this scholastic year, public quarterly examinations were conducted in the College building. These contests were popular and on these occasions, many parents and friend's of the participants were present.

Thursday evening, January 15,1S74, a literary society was formed and many of the former students became members. The name assumed was "La Salle Literary Union/' A room, located in the basement of the College, had hem fitted up at an expense of #131)0 and used as a cluK-room by the members of the Society. The Literary Union rendered Cardinal Wiseman's " Hidden Cum." the following April. The inr proceeds of the production amounted to #1 ^2, which reimbursed the College treasury for irs outlay in equipping tin- club-room. The same "dramatis personae" under tin- skillful direction of Brother I'aphylinus, produced "Maurice the Wood Cutter." in the autumn of the same year! The amateur performers enacted their roles in a manner that reflected great credit on themselves and their instructor. At the earnest request of Brother Romuaid.

President oi Calvejt Hall College, Baltimore, Md., the rroup repeated their performance in that city and covered themselves again with fresh laurels. Needless to say the play was both a financial and social success.

Owing to ill health. Brother Noah was relieved of his charge and was succeeded by Brother Joachim, whose administration was a dismal failure financially and otherwise. It took his successors quite a long linit tu retrieve the losses tin College had sustained through his mismanagement. For tin- purpose of diminishing the indebtedness of the College, a I'nion Fail Wai conducted during tin- cart) part of ISKU, T h e proceeds of this Fail amounted to $1 MKMi which reduced the d e b t considerably.

I he property at the corner »l Broad and Sijles Streets was purchased "i December 1882, as the future site of the college. By building an addition to the Bouvier Mansion, which already stood on the grounds, sufficient SpaCI «.!•• provided to accommodate all the students, but the Brothers suffered Severely from deficiency of living q u a r t e r s some of them slept in the classrooms ami rolled up then beds during the day and the consequent inconveniences enlailed by such a condition of affairs. Four years later. IK'X), the g y m n a s i u m was erected, the cost of which was defrayed hy means of subscriptions and entertainments without any expense to the College. It was at this time also, that the Lite Hon. William F. Harrity, after a Eong light in the courts, succeeded in having the taxes on the p r o p e r t y reduced n i n e t y pel cent.

T h e work of raising the old building, the Bouvier Mansion, one ami ora ball stories and the new south wing one story, w as completed in 1 8%. This made the buildings uniform and symmetrical and gave sufficient room for the incieasing needs of the College. \ here formerly existed in the Constitutions of the Brothers of "the Christian Schools a clause prohibiting the teaching of Latin and Greek in the schools under their control. An exception to this regulation had been made for La Salle College. However, this privilege was withdrawn in 1KW. At least one third of ihi sriideiits went ro other institutions where they could get what they and theii parents w a n t e d . Lhe outlook was rather discouraging and it was rendered sitll more serious by the sudden d e a t h of a prominent niemhei (if r In faculty. Brothel Fiiminein Joseph, who was a devout religious and a splendid reach' i.

Ir was ar rhis period in the history of the College, that through the kindness of the late M r s . and Senator J a m e s P. McNichbl, the Brothers' ( hapel was entirely renovated, a new marble sanctuary railing was provided, the walls were beautifully frescoed, a costly ornate- lamp was provided and two elaborate stained glass windows were added.

I . Coleman are likewise on the list of La Salle's generous tienefactors.

Alter the removal of rhe ancient classics from the roster nf the College, the Brothers fount] it difficult to get recognition from the higher institutions of learning! finally, however, rhcir effwts were successful and the furure of La Salle began to assume a more hopeful aspect.

A better account, than we could ever hope to write, will lie Found in another part of this book; so t h a t it would tie useless and foolhardy, on our part, to attempt giving it here. In 1917, the Golden Jubilee C o m m e n c e m e n t of La Salle

was celebrated with becoming dignity and appropriate splendor.

At the closi

ot the commencement the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws was confenod upon i h u e distinguished Minimi; Rr. Rev. Philip R. M c D e v i t t . D . D . , R t . Rev. John I. McCort, D-D., and Kt. Rev. J a n u s l>. McCloskey, D.D. In the f.ill of 1922, tin spring of 1923, and rhe s u m m e r of 1926. the College

Buffeted an irretrievable loss in the death of Brother Isidore, Brother Eltphus, and Brother Aloystus respectively. These three humble, though learned, religIOIINK labored cogethei above forty vears in the best interests of La Salle, and it is tu them we owe, in no small measure, the grand reputation we now enjoy. T h e Latin and Greek languages were restored to the curriculum in 1924, When Brother Aliais-Charles, the Superior General of tin Institute of the

Brothers of the Christian Schools visited La Salle in the summer of 1925, he was keenly disappointed in tin appearance and extent of the buildings. Me recognized the necessity ol the College's being located elsewhere, and that as soon as possible. Iti pursuance ol the Superior General's wishes, Brother G. Lucian, then in c h a r g e nf i lie C o l l e g e . It tr n o t h i n g u n d o n e in o r d e r t o s e c u r e a H r t i n g l o c a t i o n for the proposed buildings. Finally, after viewing many sites and considering their present and possible tutu re conveniences for transportation, he decided that the plot at the cornel oJ rwentieth Street and Qlney. Avenue would be just ideal for rhe New College. However, ir was easier selected than acquired. It was only .liter t-m> years ol negotiations, meetings, and representations, r h a t Brothel Dorothcus, now President of La Salle, and J, Burrwood Daly eventually succeeded in getting possession of this very valuable property.

February twenty-ninth ot the present year, Brother Dorotheas] accompanied by the faculty, several members of the Alumni, and the entire s t u d e n t body, turned the lust shovelful of earth as a signal to begin operations in the construction ol tin New La Salle College.

Over at rhe piano, alternating between "Lfebestraum" and "Blue Heaven" sifs Vinnie Fearon energetically hearing a tattoo upon the keyhoard. Still more unconventional is the attitude of one Mr. Weber who persists in propping htmsell upon one ol rlie lofty window sills and perusing the contents of a hook obviously dealing with Philology.

Ed. LaVallin, who is to appear in a musical rendition of "The Raven," is reciting softly to himself the weird lines of Poe's masterpiece, the while going through his gestures in a most realistic manner. Joe Uuchert, who paces nervously up and down the floor, put an end to La Vallin's wild gesticulations by harshly interrupting his painstaking efforts, thus: "Please sit down, Kd, I am nervous enough,"- "What makes you so irritable today. Joe? I am sure ! dul nothing ro merit such a rehuke."—"1 know that; but during the course of the past week. I have been in a state ol highly nervous suspense due, no doubt, to impending graduation, and the slightest annoyance sets me 'off the handle'."

"1 s\ tiip.n In/c w irh you, Joe. lor I can appreciate your state of mind. 1 have been undergoing the same ordeal these last few days."

Four years a^n, graduation held little significance, but appeared unl\ as ati objective which we could never hope to reach. So that now. when we stand on its very threshold, it seems too good to be true."

"During the course of our school life/' moodily remarks Mr, Buchert, "the goal of our desires seemed such a great distance off and the days dragged along with tedious monotony; but now rhat we look back, every little incident shapes itself so vividly in our memory that the years hegm to appear very short after all. I remember the day very well when first we stood within tin- time-honored walls of old La Salle redolent of cherished traditions and srmient lore. We fell as though we had been precipitated into a new world. We experienced a sense ot security and comfort that was different trom anything rise with which we had hitherto conu in contact. It was a world of n u n something shut oft from i)n influence of effete surroundings. Brother l.ueian was President, and he lost no time in making known to us our obligations as La Salle students."

Jerry Cotter then took up the thread of conversation and, being in a reminiscent mood, related many happenings of the Freshman Year What an uproar w as created when (jayinn made a motion to impeach Dorse\•. the class secretary, It les !

experience." " I li.ii outing in June, two years ago, seemed to starr the vacation just ri#br I'ji me," remarked Fred Betz; "although a tinge of sadness was lent to an otherwise perfect d;iy when Brother Francis, on the way home, informed us of the death of Brothel Aloysius. 1 here seemed to he a vacant place somewhere, when we returned in September; but, we soon became reconciled to our painful loss, and settled down once more to the daily routine of studies. Life bad taken a different aspen. We win. growing more serious and juvenile pleasures were rapidly losing their appeal. I really believe that year was a turning point in our lives."

Charlie N lessen ventured a remark: "I won id like you to ponder a little, fellows, and recall our Junior Prom, the mosr successful of its kind in the history ot rhe school. Our third year also marked the debut of three widely-known scholastic athletes John Ounsworth, Joe Crt-an ;imi Paul Sullivan. Our class rings, too, remain with us as a souvenir of that year." "Hut this year has been the 'tbp-riotcher,' reminds Schaebler; "and so fai no one b:is ventured to mention it. In .1 \ \ . i \ , ii baÂť also been the most strenuous. People, in general, see but the rdmanric side of school life, its athletic contests, its annual social events, and

f" AUGH'i and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone." This truly expresses Charlie's philosophy of life, for we cannot recall the time when he looked glum of downcast. "Cheerful" is his middle name; and ha h;is rhe rare ability to impart this same ebullient spirit to all his acquaintances. Someone has nicknamed him "Peaches", and we cau readily see why he merits that appellation, for his is the typical "peaches and cream" complexion, or, m modern parlance, "the skin you love to touch." But do not form the opinion that this somewhat femiaine property retards his ability on the athletic held. Who dots nor recall his mem or a hie ninety-yard run against tin- Freshman football team, and his sterling work on the class basket-ball squad. It is certainly unfortunate rhat "Peaches'" lack of weight prevented him from trying out for the varsity, for he truthfully possessed more than ordinary ability. Ar stud it's, he is no laggard, which is proven by his extensive collection of "honor cards" for this year. Following graduation, Charlie intends to extend the scope of his activities to the business world and we feel most optimistic of his success.

dusk, on January 25th. 1910, in East Liberty. Pittsburgh, simultaneously with thi; appearance of Halley's comet, there arrived a hoy who was destined in years to come, to be a leader among his earthly acquaintances. We do not know just exactly what happened to him since then, but he never lived in any one house for moii' than two years. First he was in Chicago, then Des Moines. then Fort Worth, spent a few years in Colorado, and lastly came to Philadelphia. Of course, upon his arrival in the City of Brotherly Love, be was immediately shipped crate and nil, charges collect (stamped. Handle with Cart-) to La Salic.

Although nur Neumann had a weakness for puns, which was a result of his stay in Texas, he proved himself a most capable scholar and peaceful member of the school. Due to his untiring ctlnrts. tin- lust tennis icmi was OEganized at La Satle; and he has since promoted the general interest nl' the school in this favorite sport.

Neumann's extensive stamp collection and distinctive drawings, were two of the many other reasons for his conspicuous popularity.

There lias been a rumor abroad that "Neu" intends to l)e<iinie a Structural enginee r and, judging by his past accomplishments, he will be most successful Lind an honor to his Alma Mater.

But don't abandon philately, Neu!

By the time the class w as rated Senior, James Sweeney ÂŤ.is considered as none other than "a very remarkable fellow."

His interest in school activities was noteworthy. Not once during his stay at La Salle were his teachers compelled to accuse him of neglect of studies. At a!l the games "Pal" could be found, cheering for the team to the Insr, and upholding the banner for which he was rooting so earnestly. Now that his career at La Salle is ended he will, no doubt, continue his good work in some honorable profession; and ir is only with a mingling of sorrow and regret that we bul him good-bye and good luck.

It is a singular thing that one so qntet and unassuming should occupy positions of leadership throughout his scholastic career; for we hnd in the selections of dass officers, commit tecs, editorial start's, and the like, that Web always occupied a prominent place.

In Fact, rhe records of our athletes during the shun period of his leadership have been the best in many years, and the high standard of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct characteristic oi our teams is due, in no small measure, to his firm, yet considerate, guidance, The athletic fortunes of La Salle will be well administered when entrusted to the skillful direction of Mike S;ixe.

Jfoortall WE STARTED OFF RIGHT. A N D La Salle rook the opening game- by defeating Salesianuitt, 6 to 0. Captain Clarence Brehm, Linus, Gavaghan, and Ounsworth were the only regulars who were in the [ine-up against the Wilmington eleven.

Franklin, Becker, IvfcCosker, Jaworowski, and Zizak, in the line, playing their fust game, petformed admirably. Their defense was brilliant; but on the offense, they appeared weak. However Coach Saxe feels they will come through in future games. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Evening

Bulletin.

WE FOLLOWED UP i n ' STOPPING THE BURRS Mike Saxe's boys scored their first touchdown in the second period after holding rlieir own against the Burrs in the preceding one. With Clarence Brehm, the stellar full-back of the ISlur and Gold making end tuns and executing successful forward passes quite in qu< nilv, La Salle carried the ball to West Catholic's eleven-yard line. McGill took it over on a line buck through centre. Linus ran 95 yards for La Saile's second touchdown.
