PATRICK J. CL EARY
Two debating teams repres e nting the most accomplished forensic talent in the college department, appeared in the Coliseum in Rockford , Illinois, to dis· cuss the relative merits and demer its of the proposed a mendm ent to the Constitution, g iving congress the power to enact a uniform m arriage and, divorce law. The debate w as sponsored by the Catholic Women's L eague of the above ci t y who, t hrou g h the efforts of R ev. M. Hoar, a former Viator student, in· duced Rev. J. W. R. Maguire, coach of the team, t o accompany h is debaters to Rockford for the purpose of discussing this question. Through the kindness of Rev . Thomas Harrison, the team was able to make the trip in his powerful motor car on Tuesday afternoon. Immediately upon reaching Rockford, the t eams were inst a ll ed at the SL J ames Rec tory and m ade fe e l perfeCtly at home u ntil the appointed hour w hen they were escort · ed by Father H oar to the E lks Club for dinner. A most delectable meal was served to the V iat or m e n ,since complete arrangements bad been made for the , occasion by the L eague members. A t eight o'clock, Mr. T hom as Gill, a prominent Rockford lawyer introduced Father Maguire to t he audien ce w h o, after expla inin g the rules of the debate, in turn introdu ced J . A llen of Rockford as the first speaker of the evening. As. :Mr. Nolan approached the cente r of the platf orm m any were reminded of some few years ago when Mr. Nolan h a d appeared o n the same rostrum as a member of the St. Tho mas H ig h School debat ing t eam. Needless to say, Mr. Nolan did not disappoint his listeners and he resumed his seat amidst h earty applause. With Mr. Nolan on the af!irmativ~ si de were Mr. John Ellis of Seneca, Ill inois. and Mr. J ames Co nnor. The negative platform was occupied by M r . Warren McClelland of B loomington, Mr. Maurice L eClaire and Mr. J ohn Stafford. A t no time during the d iscu ss ion
Momenbe, Ill., March 5th.-Patrick J . Cleary, •75-'76, fat her of Rev. Wm. Cleary ·o:i a nd R ev. Francis A . Cleary '13, died at his hom e in Momence after a brief illness. T he fun eral services were h eld from St . Patri cJ.::'s c hurch on M onday, March 7th. A Solemn Requiem Mass was celebrated by the pastor, Rev. A. L . Girard '05, wi th Rev. Z . P.

t erest of the audience at a high pitch. Mr. L e Claire in his calm and deliberate manner presented a very substantial argument in defense of one o! th~ strongest of the negative argument s . A great amo unt of his argume nt was r efu ted more or less effective ly by Mr. J ohn Ellis, who Sl)Oke with convincing firm n e ss a nd · directness , a quali ty ·wh ich secured the close attentJon of his audience. Mr. McClelland, second speaker for the losers , was quite effective in catching t he fancy of the listeners by his apt remarks concerning certain conte ntions which wer e urged by his opponents. J ohn Stafford concluded the di scu ssion of the negative side with a r ebuttal which a ll aclaimed to be almost perfect display of for e nsic a nalysis.

T o give addi· Uonal col or to the picture, some wou l d h ave him conli nuaJJ y strumming f a tuous l ove ditties on a s h ell, while a h os t of slaves a r e a t hand to satisfy his

As a res ult of mlsreprese n ling him in this m a nn e r t h e p o pu la r imp ression o f Hor·ace is not on ly unfavor· able but entirely unt1·ue as can be ~:~ hpw n.
In t h e fir s t l)lace , the poet, Horace, as much as can be known of him, was anything but a loose li ving m a n. Fro m hJs boyhood d ays until nature brok e the mould whl c h con tai n ed his majestic m·t, Horace Jived ln · a n atmosphere of simplicity a nd t oil. Alt h o ugh his fAther's trade Is n o t definitely known, from r ef e re n ces t o h im by Horace , it has been conjectured tha t h e w as a n ordinary deale r In salted good s , probably a fish m onge r . lt is kno wn, h owever, th a t his fa the r so anxio usly g ua r ded the character of his son iil a t eve n durin g his schooldays at Rom e, Horace m ay be said t o have bee n train ed as much by his fath e r as b y his teacher, for hi s lessons w e r e not of b oo k learnin g , but of life . Probably, h ow e ve r , in refe rence to this period, H oi-ace was no t a lways the innoce nt p a rty whe n h e called h is teacher "plagos us" (fond of the rod), !or the s u gges t ed m eans might have been the on ly e ffec ti ve way ot cut·bing hi s impe tuo us b oy is h in clina ti o n s . \¥he n he h a d finished his tra ining at R ome , he went t o Athens whe re, a fter s tudying philosop h y for a s hort time, b e joined in the campaig n of Bru tus . As the r es ult of the ba ttle of Philippi, h o wever, s u c h intole ra b le h ardst •IPS a 11 disgrace w e t·e h eaped upon him that h e had to a ban don the a rmy life . Upon retUrning to Rome, hi s fa ther's property being proscribed, Ho-race h ad to go to work and, alt h o u g h dangerously threate n ed by p overty, h e la t e r refu sed the positi on of priva t e secre tary to the emperor because h e ! eared the \Vealth and worries of such an office. Thus eve r y part of the entire car ee r of Horace r equired of him such courageous self denial that h e even fl ed the opportunity of h aving w h a t m en m ost a r dently seek ; w ealth a nd ease. Moreover t his t•efusal gives an in sight of the bent o! mi n d from which the p leasing themes of his poetry spr ung. It is no wopder , the n, tha t h e who earnestl y studies the odes of Horace easily discoyers therein n ot o nl y deli gh tful truth s but the living r eality of an u p rig ht c haracte r whose good conduc t li ved out these truth s . Altho ugh· it would f ollow that since Horace was not loose living, h e mu s t have been prudent in his eati ng a nd drinking, n everth eleSS so many charges have been m ade against his sobriety that consideration o n this p o int is necessar y. In s pite o f t h e und eni a b le fact tha t Horace had ·very deli cate health some would pi ct ure him as a f a t, jolly, old wine-bibbe r . B e f o re c han g in g his r esid ence, !or his u ns t a ble hea lth obliged him to seek f avorable climates, h e _ inquired on ly about the bread and water of a proposed place. · S u ch lac k of vino us solicitations certaJ nly argu e s strongly for Horace's m oderat io n in the use o f wines. Mor eove r in on e of his odes , a ft er d enouncing th ose who in dulge too freely in liquors, he !ra nkly declares h is own t e mperan ce. No won · der that h e detested a nd a vo ided the Roman banquets wher e e xcessive drinking was indulged in . W ith E. C. Wick· haTn it may truthfull y !)e said of Horace, "In s pite of th e bacc h a n a lia n ton e of a f ew of his odes , It is c lear that h e w~ t empe ra t e in th e use of win e." To jus tify hl s modera tion Horace himself says (Odes, 3, 1), "Falerlan win es can · not h ea l a mind diseased." Nevert h e · less, it may be obj ected t h a t H o race in sever a l places p lain ly e xpres ses a fancy ror s umt>t uous f eaats a n d wines. B ut mos t of these p a s sages occur at th e beginn in g or the e nding o! the m ore serious odes whe r e, b y way of a po logizing for treating with a dignified theme , h e makes Iron ica l or obviou s ly f a lse rent:lrkQ a.a to t h e scope or his ta le nts b y lim itin g th e m t o concerns o f win e or love. The questionable lin es are mere ly unwo l'th y cloa ks for· th e nob le Ideas they e ns h r o ud. Th e same or s imila r· lin es that w e re mlslnte rprete d to m a ke out Horace a jolly win e sl ppe r a r e employed to g ive him a noth er imag in a r y bl em ish. This s upposed blotch Is that h e >vas a tick le love poe t who wrote on ly Insipid sens ual lyri cs. A littl e inspec tio n o f his poetry, h owever , does away wi th thi s charge. In th ose ra1·e lin es t ouching on lo ve the re Is nothing o f the v io le nt passion whi c h c haractCrlzes th e poe try of Cat ullua or any o f the ot h er Latin poets.

T h e expression "my poo r sh ie ld Inglorio us ly le ft be hind m e" ta ken fr o m th e poet's d escrip tion of hi s pa rt in thi battle o! Philippi forms the basis of t hi s c h arge.

Anyone fami lia r with th e J)Oet's wo rks, h owever, kn ows tha t this phrase must not be take n with prosaic lite ralness. In it H orace ironically Impli es a reference to the word s of th e poe t Alcaeu s , "I p layed the poet's part-yo u know what that has a lwa ys bee n. " Horace d JJ not pre t e nd to be a sold ie r, b u t a poet, and thu s in th e exp ression says what he f al n would h ave d o n e duri n g the battle. But since in thi s ode , Horace is w elcoming back a f or m e r comrade of the field, it is obvious that either to belittle h is own military a bility or to j o ke over the ir ar m y ex pe rie n ces , the poe t play fuiiy Im pu tes him· self to be a cow ard. By doing thi s Hor· ace am plifies a nd h o nors the d eeds of h is fri e nd a nd thus Indirec tly, f o r s u ch the critica l s tudent s of the odes claim, P flYS l oyal tribute to th e lost cause o! his former lead er, Br utu s; fo r by complimenting the soldier one honors the C{luse for which h e fi g ht s.

The small number o! points accumula t ed b y each side indicates that close g u ardi ng was exerted by b oth t eam s an d tha t the t eams we re very eve nly matc h ed. There was more than the g·J<Jry or victory at s t a ke in this gam e f o r R ev. T. C. Har· rison, D ean of Discipline, had promised minia ture gold bask e tba ll s to every member of the winning t eam. The game o pe n ed with h a rd playing a nd close guarding on both sides. Neither t eam was overconfident and ex· trem e care and precision marked every move . Pfeffer's Abadabas, s purr ed on poss ibly by the sting o! former defeat , !oug h t h a rd a nd soon took the lead and carried it to the final whistle. The first per iod e nded with Pfeffer's lead ing with a score of 4 to 1 . After the inte rmission May's t eam succeeded in piling up three more poin t s but they w er e unabl e to s top the flas h y Pfef!er-Steck-Da ley combi nation.

Dalrymple was ex pected to d o great t hings , a nd like the true VJatorian that he has always been, hi s last g reat game t or Viator o n the hard· woods was a fitting climax to a brill iant career. Bu t young Evard, th ough only a freshman, is the bright spot of the thesis. Dixon, a profes· sional of considerable fame, was l eft standing still w hile th e flashy Evard whizzed around him to make three com· parattvely easy goals. The great Milli· kin, formely of Millikin University, and th e equally great Clarno, once sporting the color s o! Bradl ey, were eclipsed by the Viator team. Both D e laney and Benda had a crack at Rex Milli kin, and the King of Long Shots, was tumbled alm ost completely from his throne. At leas t he was tottering, being forced to make three sensational one-handed s hots, and showing a complete reversal of form in his long tosses. Benda all but broke Wint e rhal t er 's h eart; h e dogged him at ever y step, o uts printed him, a nd matched his single field goal. Dalrymple's thirteen points was in· deed necessary to stave off the sensationa l rush of the l osers. At the hal! V iato r led 28 to ·4, due t o nothing short of s uperb teamwork. · O'Malley continually got the tip off, and Da lrymple was a leaping madman in th e scrambl e to take the tap, out· distancing the great J o hn Wintehalter in the effort. W ith a comfortable mar~ gin, Viator elet:ted t o play the second half safe, and it require d all the ingen uity a nd craft of the I nterstate Champions to withstand the mad rush that unexpectedly developed. Kankakee was lite r a lly run in to the floor, and completel y outplayed in every department of the game. Brick YOung and Merrim an w itn essed the g ame, and i! there was a ny doubt a bout the merit ot the Vlatorians in the forthcoming Little Nineteen team, it was certainly dis· p elled last eve ni n g. We should get on e m an on the first sq uad, and perhaps two on the second team, with little t o choose. Anderson, who has held the center job fo r the past two years was hard pressed by O'Malley for the chief Conference honors, and it was his g r eat work in bring in g the championship to Wesleyan that will win him t h e job agaJn this year. But next year, Viator w ill p lay ! or Confe ren ce center.
