              The Maroon DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF LOYOLA UNIVERSITY VOL. IV WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1926 No. 7 JANUARY LAW JOURNAL ISSUED First Issue Under Guidance of New Staff. The January issue of the Loyola Law Journal made its second quarterly appearance just before the Christinas holidays began. This latest issue contains numerous excellent articles of interest to the law student. Among them is one, "A College Education for a Professional Man," by Edgar M. C aim. A.8., LL. B. This article is a reprint from the Zeta Beta Tau quarterly for October, 1925. The author sets down in a clear and forceful fashion the reasons why it is necessary for the professional man to attend college, and he tells just what the college student may expect to derive from a college course. Another contribution published in this issue is, 'Police Power in Zoning." by Francis P. Burns, Assistant City Attorney of New Orleans. The article next in importance is by Father Terence King. S.J., former professor of Law Latin in the Law school. Father King writes of the value which the lawyer may get by taking more than the prescribed amount of latin during the course of his legal studies. The valedictory address of Anna Shirley Murphy, LL.B., class of 1925, is also included. This is the first issue pulled from the press by the new Journal staff. John B. Murphy, a junior, is the new Editorin-Chief, with Herman Midlo, a senior, busineia manager. The next issue will appear in March, according to word given out. DENTAL SOPHS ORGANIZE CLUB Epiphianians Elect Jackson Head. During the course of the year the dental sophomores have been meeting each week for the consideration of dental problems. The meetings were of such interest, and so much knowledge was gained that the sophomores decided to organize a regular society. Dr. Dimitry who has been present at these meetings is the nucleus around which the society was formed. His interesting talks on subjects in which the dental students were interested helped them greatly in their profession. The meetings help the student to a clearer idea of subjects in which he is interested and fills a long felt want of the dental student because the subjects that are brought up for discussion are usually not included in his curriculum: So much interest has been shown at these meetings that the Epiphianians society was organized, the scope of which is a thorough probing of dental problems and medical subjects which the dentist becomes in contact with. Meetings are held every Friday with Dr. Dimitry presiding as faculty advisor and consultant. Subjects are assigned to members and a date set for deliverance of the paper after which it is read and the assembly enters into a discussion of the paper. Too much LOYOLA FATHERS PREACH NOVENA Annual Sermons Delivered at Ursuline Convent. Nine Fathers from Loyola on succeeding Hays, Ifrom December 30 to January 8, preached in the Ursuline Convent chapel the nine sermons which are a part of the annual novena made to ( hir Lady of Prompt Succor. Father? Dowling, Brooks, King. Burke. Sullivan. Mulry. Keville. Burk and Stritch treated in their addresses various aspects of the intercession in In-half of her clients which is the function of mediatrix enjoyed by the Mother of God. Tin- novena to Our Lady of Prompt Succor is the proper devotion of Catholic-, living in New Orleans. The Ursuline nuns have the peculiar privilege of fostering by annual novenas this de- VOtion. It is their family possession. Reading the annala of tin- Ursuline* of New Orleans one finds recorded tlie beginnings of this special Ursuline ClC- votion in honor of Our Lady of Prompt Succor. In 1802 Mother St. Andrew writes to Mother St. Michael for recruits for tin- Ursuline convent of New Orleans. Political changes incident on the transfer of Louisiana from France to Spain, and again, from Spain back to France, had caused the retiring of sixteen nuns from New Orleans to Havana. The remaining nuns in their distress turned to France for new members. Mother St. Michael petitioned the Holy See for leave to depart ;for New Orleans. Insuperable obstacles were in the way of this request. Feeling the full force of these, Mother St. Michael besought the Blessed Virgin for help. She promised if her petition were granted promptly and favorably she would have the Blessed Virgin honored QUARTERLY EXAMS START ON JAN. 18 Will Continue Through Two Weeks.

The whole country has lost the influence of a true defender of democracy. Our city shall ever cherish his memory and shall carry on to complete his planned development as a memorial to his name.
