NIGHT FROSH TO GIVE BANQUET Herrmann in Charge of Preparations.It is strange, indeed inexplicable, that our dear brethren of the Freshman class have been able to muster sufficient fortitude to announce to the world that they will gather at a banquet during the Carnival season. Especially it is perplexing when we consider that mid-year examinations have just terminated. Yet the report is founded on reliable sources. The night freshmen are not to be outdone. Two weeks ago, if Shakespeare himself had been present, he would have been astonished at the abundant supply of talent which the freshman class offered him as prototypes of the philosophical Hamlet. So to speak, they were "sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought," and meditating on the dire consequences of misfortunes, the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, a sea of troubles, and possessed of the conscience that makes cowards of us all. With the words of Lady Macbeth ringing in their oars—"Screw your courage to the sticking place and we'll not fail"—they have arrived exulting in their glory, as certain of success as of the calm which follows the storm. The preparations for the banquet are in the charge of an experienced and efficient committee which includes Messrs. Herrmann, Taylor, Scramuzza and Rodriguez. With these gentlemen in control it is assured that the affair will be both delightful and successful. Already a large number of the fresh- Mien have indicated their approval ol the function, which most likely will be staged at a downtown restaurant. The committee is bent on making elaborate preparations for the banquet in the way of an entertainment program, having scheduled members of the class for talks, toasts, tales, recitations and songs, with Mr. Herrmann acting in the capacity of toastmaster.

As Gene made the presentation the applause was thunderous and continued for several minutes. Ducote was visibly overcome by this token of esteem. The votes of the captaincy election gave A. D. Smith, the position. He was :il-" given an ovation. In a fewwords he expressed his determination to do all that he could during tin coming year that will help to put Loyola to the fore.

FATHER BARRY OF COLUMBIA HERE Pays Visit to Loyola in Interests of Education. All the way from Dubuc|ue, lowa, came Father Michael Barry to get a glimpse of the Crescent City. He had heard a great deal about a real estate boom in \ew Orleans, he said, and to satisfy his curiosity he had come down South to give the city a once-over. After a short stay in Xew Orleans, Father Michael became satisfied. All that he heard about the town was true. "Everything in Xew Orleans is so perfect in every way," remarked Father, quite impressed, "that I would not care to stay here. It seems better than heaven. "As for Loyola, there are few institutions in the country which can compare with the equipment and facilities that Loyola offers to its students, I am especially amazed at the elaborate outlay of laboratories and clinics of Bobet Hall." Father Barry is connected with the Columbia College of Dubuque, which is conducted by priests of the Dubuque diocese. He is a personal friend of Monsigneur Michael Sullivan, Chancellor and Vicar-General of the Dioceses Dubuque, who is an uncle of Rev. Florence Sullivan, president of Loyola.
