The Miami postoffice read the name of Loyola University's student paper when it forwarded to the Maroon office the story of the visit of Loyola's president to Florida. Father Sullivan begihl: "I found the Maroon telegram waiting for my arrival at Miami. I was delayed in getting to my destination by an unexpected stop-over in Jacksonville where I helped out in the celebration of the Forty Hours and the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. "Florida is so short of priests that a sacerdotal transient can render great service wherever he may come. This was proved by my experiences at West Palm Beach. I hoped to arrive in Miami at sunrise on Wednesday, December 9, but trains do not run in Florida as elsewhere. Officials give travelers timetables with the warning that trains do not keep to the hours printed. A train leaves when it can, arrives when it can. Huge congestion of traffic generates acute confusion in passenger and freight services. "At 8:30 Wednesday morning, instead of being near Miami, I found myself at West Palm Beach. Again I was pressed into service. The Jesuit Church cannot handle the worshippers. The auditorium of the school is an auxiliary church.

"This year," said Mr. Nicaud, "We will print in the Dental Journal only articles which are of the most vital importance to dentists. These articles will be set forth in clear, concise English, and will treat of the latest subjects of interest in the dental world. They will be written in professional language by professional dentists who know their profession." Numerous articles have been arranged for already. This year's staff is composed of Mir. Nicaud, editor; Robert Dolise, associate editor; Slattery Aleman, associate editor and F. R. Jackson, business manager.

"To the Religious," by Mrs. Narcitie Thiberge. A loving cup was presented on this occasion to Rev. Mother Shaw, superior of the Rosary Convent, Mis-, Lillian Dayries. secretary of the Sacred Heart Alumni and of the Loyola Y. W. O, L. making the presentation. Miss Fabacher in her speech, said in part: "We cannot think of the Religious of the Sacred Heart without thinking of the Jesuits, for the Religious have a special claim upon the Jesuits. "The link which binds, them is that wrought by St. John Berchmans when he cured Madame Wilson of Grand Coteau of a serious malady. "The Religious of the Sacred Heart at the Rosary Convent and the Jesuits at Loyola are both dedicated to the cause of Catholic education. "Surely the alumnae of the Rosary, in their loyalty and devotion to their Alma Mater will always have room in their hearts for that wonderful university of Catholic ideals—Loyola. "Marvelous has been the growth of Loyola. Magnificently and solidly have her Fathers builded. Sue her gorgeous buildings rising on our chief boulevard in eloquent grandeur ! "Does not the massive tower of Holy Name Church point emphatically to the heavens proclaiming that God is the first principle aiid final good of all education, as He is of all life and truth and holiness? Within the stately halls of Loyola the young men of the South are trained to be true gentlemen and firm followers of Jesus Christ. "From the alumni of Loyola we look to draw the great minds and brave hearts which in the future will develop our loved city and state.
