              The Maroon DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF LOYOLA UNIVERSITY VOL. IV THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1925 No. 3 SOLEMN TRIDUUM HELD FOR FAMOUS JESUIT SAINT The program of religious devotions in honor of the newly canonized Jesuit saint, I'eter Canisius. has been released by Father Navin, pastor of Loyola University Church of the Most Holy \aine of Jesus. Friday evening, November 13, at 7 :30 the triduum opened with the rosary, prayer to the Saint, a sermon on "The Priest" by Father Brooks, and benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Saturday evening, November 14, at 7:30. the rosary, prayer to the Saint, a sermon on "The Religious" by Father Miilry, and benediction of the .Most Blessed Sacrament. Solemn high mass followed by benediction brought the triduum to a close on Sunday morning, November 15, at nine o'clock. Father Reville preached at the mass on "Saint Peter of Canisius. Doctor of the Catholic Church." This three day devotional celebration was arranged for these dates in Novenfber in the hope that the students of Loyola university and the people of the Holy Name parish would attend in greater numbers than they would if the triduum had been held in May when Saint Peter Canisius was canonized. The new Jesuit saint should appeal to Loyola students and members of the Jesuit parish of the Holy Name. The students of Loyola are college nun and Saint Peter Canisius was a college man. He should appeal, in particular, to those students taking the Arts and Science course. The new saint matriculated at Cologne university when he was only fifteen years old. After three years at this famous school he transferred to the University of Louvain, in 1539. He returned to Cologne in 1540 and was awarded his M. A. degree. To the parishioners of the Jesuit church of Loyola university, Saint Peter Canisius has a three-fold appeal, as priest, as religious and as doctor of the Universal Church. His life and achievements under these three aspects were unfolded in sermons on the St. Peter Canisius Honored at Holy Name Church. LOYOLA NOW IN NEW MOVEMENT Jesuit Observatories Unite. Communication received by Father Abel from the Je.-uit Seiimological Association states that Loyola will have a part in a new movement. All Jesuit stations throughout the country will organize under a central station at St. Louis University in order to obtain a greater degree of accuracy in locating earthquakes. As soon as a quake is recorded, each station will submit a chart to headquarters where all reports will be worked out and the center of disturbance ascertained. The local seismograph, which has been temporarily installed in Bobet Hall pending remodeling of Burke Building, may not return to its old GREAT PROGRESS SHOWN BY Y.W.O.L. Ladies' Organization Doing Much For Loyola. Among the moil prominent of the organizations which are helping toward a "Greater Loyola" is the Young Women's Organization of Loyola. Perhaps there is no one group of people who have done more for the university, and certainly none has been more ready to answer any call whatsoever. The Y. \V O. 1. was organized in May. l')D2. during the drive for the Bobet Building Fund. The original membership was one hundred. These hundred ladies assembled at the request of Father Sullivan and grouped themselves into different corps so that greater efficiency might be had in handling their part of the drive. After the drive was over the Y. W. (). L. languished until ]')2A when it was reorganized to lake care of the radio programs broadcasted by WVVL, Loyola's radio station and the first to broadcast in New Orleans. It was also decided that the Y. \Y. O. 1., should be held responsible for all the Loyola dances and social events, seeing that proper dignity and decorum was preserved. Today the Y. \\ . O. L. bandies the band luncheons after every parade, the transportation for the parades, etc. At various times when funds were needed for the society's treasury, card parties have been given, or dances or something similar, and never once has the organization fallen throug hiu obtaining needed money. The society is divided into circles with a captain at the head of each PHARMACY LABS ARE IMPROVED Improvements Are Made By Dr. Grasser. During the summer vacation months numerous improvements and additions were made in the pharmacy laboratories under the direction of Doctor Grasser, head of the pharmacy department."We are continually adding the latest and best equipment," stated the dean, "We are doing everything in our power to keep the Loyola Pharmacy departments leadership over the Pharmacy departments of other universities. Expense is no object. We have bought only the best, we will continue to buy only the best." Among the most noteworthy improvements during the last month is the addition of over one thousand volumes to the pharmaceutical library. There is probably no such library in the country wheh has a more extensive or larger selection of books. Every book of even a remote value to pharmacyLOYOLA RESIGNS FROM S. I. A. A. Father Sullivan Issues Reasons For Action. Unable to retain amicable relations with the officials of the S. I. A. A. in regard to the eligibility of four Loyola stars, the Loyola athletic council voluntarily withdrew from the association Wednesday, October 28. after several weeks of misunderstanding. The disagreement grew out of the construction of the migratory rule. S. I. A. A. authorities contended that Captain Walet, Red Gremillon. Harold Winling, and later Deuce Domengcaux, four players who formed the backbone of the Loyola team, were ineligible according to the ruling. However. Loyola held that they were admitted to the association "as is," and presented evidence to substantiate their claim, but Dr. Provine, S. I. A. A. head, disregarded evidence and declared Loyola out of the association until the case could be brought before the proper authorities at the December meeting. Finally, after getting no satisfaction whatever. Rev. Father Sullivan, president of Loyola, acted upon the decision of the athletic council and tendered a resignation to the S. I. A. A. In conjunction with this action. Father Sullivan stated that Loyola would conduct all athletic contests under the requirements of the Southern Intercollegiate Conference. Father Sullivan's explanatory statement issued to the press follows : In consideration of the faithful friends who have helped Loyola grow in the scholastic and athletic fields; of the public and the press which have co-operated in our efforts; of the studen body of Loyola University whose rights and interests must be protected; and of our own self respect and freedom, the Loyola Athletic Council has decided to withdraw from and sever connections with the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Having thoroughly reviewed the facts and circumstances of the treatment accorded the University by the officials of said association, I fully approve and endorse the action of the Council. Loyola University entere dthe S. I. A. A. on the stipulated condition that the migratory rule (whose interpretation in the S. I. A. A. is so different from that of the S. C. because of the cotninual dispute over the meaning of "College"), would not be retroactive, and that the player! on Loyola's team who were admitted according to S. C. rules would remain eligible under S. I. A. A. rules. The Executive Committee through Dr. Provine, accepted this stipulation and agreed that Loyola would be taken in "as is." President Sexton of Centeanry College was a witness to this agreement. This promise was given in December, 1023, but it was understood that this would apply to the date of final entrance, December, 1924. During the year of probation required after application was filed, the four men in question played without criticism or censure from any team, coaches, or officials of the S. I. A. A. and Loyola was received with much UNIVERSITY ADDRESSED BY NAVAL OFFICERS ON NAVY DAY Captain Wainwright of U. S. S. Cleveland Makes Talk. On Tuesday, October 27, Captain John D. Wainwright, commander of the U. S. S. Cleveland, addressed the students of Loyola University. Captain Wainwright showed in a clear and concise manner the great part that the American navy plays in government affairs. The speaker was introduced by Fr. King, who was dressed in the uniform he wore when he served as a chaplain during the war. Father King declared that he had a personal feeling for the navy and that the work done by this unit of our national defense in the World War was indeed commendable. In closing the remarks he said he defied the Captain to tell him. as navy men told the soldiers in the war. "Soldiers, stand there." He then directed Captain Wainwright to "shove off." "The purpose of Navy Day is to bring before the people of the United States the fact that they have a navy," explained Captain Wainwright. in opening his address. "Too many people take the navy for granted, too many do not realize the important role the navy plays in our national and international affairs. "A year ago a monument was erected in Spain to Admiral Cervera of the Spanish-American War, who went out to do battle against great odds and who lost every one of his ships. Everybody honors a brave man!" At this point the Captain recounted the rather cordial reception accorded Admiral Cervera vD he nhe was taken captive aboard the American flagship. "If you are going to have a navy," said the Captain, "you must have one that when you sent it out it must be sure to come back, and that is the kind of a navy the United States has."' Captain Wainwright explained many of the features of unusual excellence in the navy that makes it the foremost naval machine in the world today. The war record of the navy shows that it is able to hold its own against the navy of any country in the world. "Besides in warfare the navy plays an important part in peace. It transportsDAY LAW SCHOOL GREAT SUCCESS Much Progress Shown After Two Months Trial. The opening of a day law school in September marks another step in Loyola's progress.

October 26. the Extension Classes were addressed by Mrs. Swing, a representative of the National Safety Council. Mrs. Swing is a nationally known figure in this work and her talk waD both entertaining and instructive. Her speech follows: "The Catholic School handles her children in a way. far surpassing that of other educational systems. In New York, as well as here, even a taxi driver never fails to tip his hat in due respect on passing a Catholic Church. However, simple or uneducated he may be he has not forgotten what he was taught as a child. The power of your educational system is very impressive. "I would like to tell you some of the reasons why we have developed in our Safety Council an educational division attainable through the channels of educational psychology. One of the best means of getting to educational facts is through the pocket-book. "Industry has made such enormous strides in the last twenty-five years, LOYOLA TO GET NEW FIGHT SONG Denina Composes Score. Loyola'i new battle song, which was composed by C.
