              The Maroon VOL. IV DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF LOYOLA UNIVERSITY TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1926 No. 10 REPRESENTATIVES OF BELL SYSTEM MAKE ADDRESS TO LOYOLA STUDENTS Give History and Importance of Telephone, And Encourage Students to Consider Making Telephone Life Works. An instructive and interesting talk was made to the students of the university on Wednesday afternoon, February 17th , on the part the telephone plays in the modern business and social life. Two authorities, well versed on the subject, visited the school in the persons of Messrs. Weisiger and Thibault, who are employed by the Bell Telephone Co., and who have been delivering addresses to students all over the South on the necessity of securing college graduates to fdl positions in their company. Mr. Weisiger pointed out the advantages of a college man in entering the employ of such a firmly established and well-organized concern as the Bell Telephone Company is. He reviewed the history of the organization since its conception fifty years ago, and touched on the life of the discovjtoXrer of the greatest of modern inventions. Alexander Graham Bell, who discovered the telephone quite by accident while immersed in his sudics after his immigration to this country from Scotland. "The telephone industry." stated Mr. Weisiger. "is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary this year. It is growing rapidly and is even now one of the biggest industries in the world, both financially and in the wide scope of its operations as well as in point of public interest. Stock in the Bell Telephone Company is always a good buy, because it is controlled not by the financiers in the common sense of the word, hut by the working classes. Anyone you meet in the streets may be a stockholder in our company; the clerk, the stenographer, even the sodajerker."By stressing the part the working classes play in the work of so great an organization, Mr. Weisiger showed how the telephone interest was one of the nation's strongest firms in point of public interest. He impressed the hearers with the fact that they, as college graduates,, could enter the business at a good salary and advance with the company, learning the business step by step from actual experience at the work. He invited any of the graduates who were interested in the project to speak to him personally on the subject, and closed his talk with an expression of thanks for the manner in which he was received by his audience.

Although not much lias been heard from the university hand since the close of tin' past football season, most of its members have united to form an orchestra which has been holding practices off and on for the last month. At present the orchestra is composed of eleven pieces and comprises the cream of the musical talent the university affords. The new musical body made its first appearance before the public on the evening of Friday, February 19, on the occasion of the annual debating contest of the Jesuits High School which was sponsored by the Jesuits Debating Society. The contest was held in the Marquette Hall auditorium of the university and a very favorable impression was made by the Loyola University orchestra in its official debut.

FR. REVILLE TALKS TO ROTARY CLUB Subject of Noted Preacher Is "Bible As Literature." At the weekly Rotary Club lunch on the twelfth floor of the Roosevelt Hotel on February 10, Fr. Reville addressed the 170 members present on "The Bible as Literature." The assembled Rotarians represented thirty States. After the two musical numbers, "New Orleans" and "Rotary" had been sung, Nichols Bauer, superintendent New Orleans public schools introduced Father Reville to the audience. He was happy, he said, in presenting a speaker from Loyola University who would interest, instruct and entertain them on a subject which has universal appeal— "The Bible as Literature." Fr. Reville quickly captivated the Rotarians with his earnest manner, his fluent diction, his genuine emotion and his reverent handling of the literary masterpiece of Christians. He declared that the Bible is not only God's book in the truest sense of the term, but, also, the noblest literature ever penned by man. Even if it had not been written for the enlightment of our minds and the support of our souls, it would occupy a position absolutely unique in human letters. In analyzing further its contents, Father Reville showed how the Bible- is genuine univeral history. It is as wide SUCCESSOR OF DOCTOR POTHIER DR. SIDNEY L. TIBLIER DR. TIBLIER IS TO SUCCEED DR. POTHIER Was Graduate of Loyola in 1917 Dr. Sidney 1.. Tiblier has been appointed to the directorship of the Bacteriology of Loyola University. He succeeds Dr. O. L. Pothier, whose untimely death created a vacancy at the head of the department, and quite unceremoniously assumed his new duties with the beginning of the second semester. Dr. Tiblier is fully capable of handling these new duties incumbent upon him and it is an absolute certainty that he will continue the excellent work begun by the departed leader and will maintain the high standards and cherished traditions of the department. He is a Loyola product and one of whom we are exceptionally proud. From Jesuit's High School he came here in 191.3 and obtained his A. B. degree in 1917. In 1919 he received his M. S. in chemistry and in 1923, by virtue of lecturing in chemistry for four years, he won his D. D. S. He is experienced as a professor and has been connected with the department for some time as an assistant to Dr. Pothier and is therefore thoroughly acquainted with the workings of the department and is able to handle everything in the usual manner.FATHER O'BRIEN ILL AT HOSPITAL Has Severe Attack of Influenza.

In the first of his series of Lenten sermons on the Kingship of Christ, Fr. Reville, preaching in Holy Name of Jesus church on Ash Wednesday night, showed that both Old and New Testament proclaim the doctrine. Introducing bis subject with the Statement that "the idea of sovereignty and authority appeals to the American mind," Fr. Reville declared that "modern unbelief, anti-religious and unsound philosophy is gradually eclipsing this fundamental notion upon which family and state are built." Beginning with the Old Testament and going on to the New. Fr. Reville repeated the testimony of prophet and evangelist witnessing to this truth. "Everywhere in bis Psalms the inspired prophet announces, a thousand yeara before His actual appearance among men, the future kingship and kingdom of Christ. From David the warrior king of Judah. Christ was to spring. With many a varied note David sang of the King to come. Who he was, What His kingdom would be, its nature, its combats, its victories and triumphs." Fr.
