By Dic k Powers There is no doubt that everyone

' a real pipe organ in the College Chapel.

He recalled how many times in the past the old harmonium bad broken down in the middle of Mass, or at benediction when the regular organ­ist was absent, the unwary volun­teer couldn't make 01 the thing go''. All that is now happy memory.

Due to the generosity and kind­ness of the P a rents' Cub, a John­son pipe organ was donated to the College. It was originally built in 1835, which makes. it over one hun­dred years old. Yet organs were so well built in those times that it was possible to rejuvenate it within the space of ten days, making it in many r espects far better than a new one would have been. The case is made of solid walnut, hand carved - a thing of exquisite beauty.

It is of nine ranks of pipes, with thirteen stops, boasting of a reed stop in the seel of unusual bril­lance, and a fou r-foot flute of un­surpassing beauty, both of which would ornament the fines t organ in the country. Mr. Joseph Wimperly of Chicago, was commissioned to re­condition and ins tall the i~strument. At some date next month as yet to be definitely set, Richard J. Powers, the College Organist, will give a r e­cital upon the new ins trument.

The Rev. J. W. R. Maguire, c. S. V., Head of the Department of Commerce here, resumed hJs radio talks on Sunday, January 2, over station WCFL ,by conducting a Round Table Discussion on the Lea­gue of Nations. In the discussions Father Maguire was assisted by th~ Very Rev. Dr. E. V, Cardinal, c . S. V., President of the College and by Dr. John Tracy Ellis, Profesoor of History at the Catholic University of America.

The speakers considered three main topics: First, shoUld the Lea­gue continUe as it is; second, shoUld the League be reformed; and third, should it be a bandoned entirely. AU were agreed that tbe league shoUld not be entirely abandoned, becallS{' there is so much in the covenant that is worthwhile. They pointed out, also, that some kind of reform was highly desirable, but very difficult of a ttainment because the nations wbo profited by the world war are using the League as an agent for retaining their ill-gotten gains. Even with tbe unfortunate failure of the League to settle the Japanese and Ethiopian questions, it has shown

The Reverend Brother Edward George LaMontagne, C. S. V., a na­t ive of Bourbonnais, after an illness of six months died W ednesday, Jan­uary 5. He was buried in Maternity cemetery from Maternity church, Bourbonnais, on Saturday. Solemn High Mass of Requiem was sung for him a t 9:00 o'clock by the Pastor Rever end Walter J. Surprenant, c. S. V., assisted by Father French, C. S. V., as Deacon; Father Land­roche, C. S. V., as sub-Deacon; and Father Cracknell, C. S. V., as Master of Ceremonies. Father Armstrong, C. S. V., one of his associates at the Novitiate preached, and his fellow novices assisted as acolytes and in­cense bearers. His fellow scholastics at St. Bernard Hall kept vigil over his body and reci t ed the Rosary and De Profundis every hour for his eternal repose. Many priests and re­ligious accompanied relatives and friends to the grave where the last absolution was given by the Provin­cial Father O'Maboney, C. S. V.

Brother Edward was born in Bour­bonnais , September 2, 1915, the son of Joseph LaMontagne and the late Rosanna Boudreau. Several brothers and sisters mourn his loss. After completing his elementary studies in the village school, he entered St. Viator's High School, and after grad­uation became a novice at the Via­torian Novitiate, Lemont, lllinois, September 7, 1933. His first pro­fession took place in the Novitiate Chapel a year later, and then he resumed his s tudies at St. Viator College. After two years he was appointed to teach English at St. Joseph's College, Berthierville, Pro­vince of Quebec. In June, 1937, be

TL'ESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1988.

WardSays: Unfrequently found a re those men

of genius who prefer to let their deeds live after them ra ther than loudly proclaim them to their con­t emporaries. In the foremos t rani{ of these f ew w as H ans Sachs, N ur ­emberg cobbler . He not only de­veloped and trained the Meist er­singers of Nuremberg, but also wrote five thousand songs, seven­t een hundred shor t stories, and severa l hundred dra m as. Richard Wagner immortalized H ans Sachs and the Meisters ingers of Nurem­berg , but Sachs was corit ent t o leave as his epitaph the verse he

ba d written for childhood : "Ha ns Sachs was a shoemalter and n poet , too."

And still some people persist in using the first person "ad naus­eam". Shortsighted, short-lived fools!

W ithout seelting to assume t he pontifical a ir of the serious s tudent of human nature, it is never theless m y conviction that mos£ people are lu many respec ts extremis ts. They' re either too conservative or too li­beral, too circumspect or absolutely thoughtless, too impressionable or not impressionable enough. It is of the concrete of these last two qual ­ities tha t I wish to speak-vaga­bondia I'll wander completely from my star ting point and tell you a ­a bout three of t he most impressive things I know.

THE VIATORIAN

The f irst is very nearby, serving wel1 as nn exarnple to us that have eyes nnd see not. It's j ust a weatherbeaten cross in a count ry churchyard, the little churchyard in Bourbot,m ais to the nor th of Roy H all. One stro lling a bout will in­variabl y be drawn to t he wooden cross whi ch stands as a mute re­minder of Golgotha's three hours. It conjures up visions of the Man who was crucified as a crimina l but who prayed for His executioners be­cause they knew not. The pained eyes of the figure on the cross look down upon a brol<en s la b of s tone. Despite t he effects of time and weather one can read the inscript­ion--"The world was made by Him and the world kn ew Him not ."

The second th ing. which I have

Language is the \'clllclc of thought. No matter how weighty thought may be, it must d~pend up­on the spoken or written wor<l for its conveyance. The terminology of a. language, there!ore, becomes of great Importance In the exp.-.,ssion of thought, for Inadequate or de­fective terms may utterly distort its meaning. For o. language to be Its best possible medium, it Is essential that it be concise and logical with no ambiguous terms. Latin Is such a language. No other tongun bas achieved tbe ability to e.'<press ideas in such terse and pregnant phrases. No other tongue has the logic and clarity of the Latin pbraseoiO!fY· It is indeed the language of philosoph­ers and leaders of thought.

As an evidence of the general re­cognition of these fo.cts, scholars of the Renaissance, that golden age of philosophy and llterature, contin­ued to speak and express their thoughts in Latin long after Its gen­eral use bad declined. It was the universal language of scholars and it became the hallmark of !earning and culture. The Church Is essen­tially Latin In cul ture and Its illus­trious . works are wri t ten in that tongue. Great philosophers and emin­ent doctors of the Cburcb, e. g. St. Augustine ,St. Thomas Aquinas, Thomas A. Kempis, Robert BeUar­mine, found It the best medium for the transmission of their thoughts to posterity. But the scholars of the Renaissance and not alone in their use and appreciation of the La tin, for great centers of modern learn­ing such as the University of Louv­ain, the Sarbonne, Sa lamanca, and Bologna retain the old Latin culture to the present day.

STUDENT PAPER Nothing is more ~:on duc i v" to h umility t ha n to compare current

issues with previous issues of th e VIA TOR IAN; especially when it was edited by men like t he Rt. R ev. Msgr. F ulton J . Sheen, Dr. Charles A . Hart , and a h ost of other men who are famous a t the present time. W ithout a doubt, in those days the VIATORIAN was t he exemp lif ication of j ourna listic p erfection.

W e not e with a great deal of inter est that studen t s not con­nect ed in any way with the staff f requent ly util ized the columns of t he VIAT ORIAN to e-xp ress personal opinions and convictions on worthw hile and im portan t topics of the day . R G., t he treatise on " L abor and Labor Reform " wr itten by Father Hart in '17 is as valuable and as inter esting today as the day it was written ; the debate of t he R t. R ev. Msgr . Ful ton Sheen on t he "Compulsory Arbitration of La bo t· Dispu tes " is a magnificen t piece of w ork; he p resen ts a case wh ich may ver y r eadily be used as a model by a ny college d eba t er a t t he present tim e. Although examples could be multipied a lmost ad infinitum, the above two w ill suffice.

'l'be articles of tlwse men are as fresh and as interesting as if t hey had been written yester day. The reason being of course, tha t t he articles dealt with fundamenta l and essential princip les; prin­ciples whic h were present yesterday, exist today, and wi ll r emain nnchaugccl tomorrow.

The ob \'ious point is this: Ther e are meu in the college today who will some day guide the destines of nation s and empir es; men \\·ho will be l eaders of tomorrow as t he men mentioned ab ove ar e the leaders of today . \i e take this opportunity . of reminding our students that t1e columns of the VIATORIAN are open to anything they haYe to say, just as the VIATOHIA.N of old printed the com­ments of these f amous men.

Since the VIA.'l'ORIA.N exists primarily to serve the student body, it is our duty to express student opinion. Moreover, we are both anxious and willing to perform this duty.

Father Bergin, a recognized master in the field of applied logic, points out very vividly and graphically th e kind of shallow thinking going on n the world today; the kind of thinking that we, as educated men, will be forced to meet in a few year s.

Brother Edward's gentle disposi­tion, refined manners, and devotion to the cause to which he dedicated bis life, made him a general favorite with his confreres at St. Bernard's H a ll and the students at St. Viator College. The sante winning character­istics made him loved as a teacher, and gave promise of a successful career in the class-room. It is hard to lose one so young and so good, but it is a consolation to know that he \vas so well fit ted for Heaven.
