By Dic k Powers There is no doubt that everyone
in the College was agreeably surprised when, upon the return from the Chris tmas Holidays, be beheld
' a real pipe organ in the College Chapel.
He recalled how many times in the past the old harmonium bad broken down in the middle of Mass, or at benediction when the regular organist was absent, the unwary volunteer couldn't make 01 the thing go''. All that is now happy memory.
Due to the generosity and kindness of the P a rents' Cub, a Johnson pipe organ was donated to the College. It was originally built in 1835, which makes. it over one hundred years old. Yet organs were so well built in those times that it was possible to rejuvenate it within the space of ten days, making it in many r espects far better than a new one would have been. The case is made of solid walnut, hand carved - a thing of exquisite beauty.
It is of nine ranks of pipes, with thirteen stops, boasting of a reed stop in the seel of unusual brillance, and a fou r-foot flute of unsurpassing beauty, both of which would ornament the fines t organ in the country. Mr. Joseph Wimperly of Chicago, was commissioned to recondition and ins tall the i~strument. At some date next month as yet to be definitely set, Richard J. Powers, the College Organist, will give a r ecital upon the new ins trument.
The Rev. J. W. R. Maguire, c. S. V., Head of the Department of Commerce here, resumed hJs radio talks on Sunday, January 2, over station WCFL ,by conducting a Round Table Discussion on the League of Nations. In the discussions Father Maguire was assisted by th~ Very Rev. Dr. E. V, Cardinal, c . S. V., President of the College and by Dr. John Tracy Ellis, Profesoor of History at the Catholic University of America.
The speakers considered three main topics: First, shoUld the League continUe as it is; second, shoUld the League be reformed; and third, should it be a bandoned entirely. AU were agreed that tbe league shoUld not be entirely abandoned, becallS{' there is so much in the covenant that is worthwhile. They pointed out, also, that some kind of reform was highly desirable, but very difficult of a ttainment because the nations wbo profited by the world war are using the League as an agent for retaining their ill-gotten gains. Even with tbe unfortunate failure of the League to settle the Japanese and Ethiopian questions, it has shown

The Reverend Brother Edward George LaMontagne, C. S. V., a nat ive of Bourbonnais, after an illness of six months died W ednesday, January 5. He was buried in Maternity cemetery from Maternity church, Bourbonnais, on Saturday. Solemn High Mass of Requiem was sung for him a t 9:00 o'clock by the Pastor Rever end Walter J. Surprenant, c. S. V., assisted by Father French, C. S. V., as Deacon; Father Landroche, C. S. V., as sub-Deacon; and Father Cracknell, C. S. V., as Master of Ceremonies. Father Armstrong, C. S. V., one of his associates at the Novitiate preached, and his fellow novices assisted as acolytes and incense bearers. His fellow scholastics at St. Bernard Hall kept vigil over his body and reci t ed the Rosary and De Profundis every hour for his eternal repose. Many priests and religious accompanied relatives and friends to the grave where the last absolution was given by the Provincial Father O'Maboney, C. S. V.
Brother Edward was born in Bourbonnais , September 2, 1915, the son of Joseph LaMontagne and the late Rosanna Boudreau. Several brothers and sisters mourn his loss. After completing his elementary studies in the village school, he entered St. Viator's High School, and after graduation became a novice at the Viatorian Novitiate, Lemont, lllinois, September 7, 1933. His first profession took place in the Novitiate Chapel a year later, and then he resumed his s tudies at St. Viator College. After two years he was appointed to teach English at St. Joseph's College, Berthierville, Province of Quebec. In June, 1937, be

WardSays: Unfrequently found a re those men
of genius who prefer to let their deeds live after them ra ther than loudly proclaim them to their cont emporaries. In the foremos t rani{ of these f ew w as H ans Sachs, N ur emberg cobbler . He not only developed and trained the Meist ersingers of Nuremberg, but also wrote five thousand songs, sevent een hundred shor t stories, and severa l hundred dra m as. Richard Wagner immortalized H ans Sachs and the Meisters ingers of Nuremberg , but Sachs was corit ent t o leave as his epitaph the verse he
ba d written for childhood : "Ha ns Sachs was a shoemalter and n poet , too."
And still some people persist in using the first person "ad nauseam". Shortsighted, short-lived fools!
W ithout seelting to assume t he pontifical a ir of the serious s tudent of human nature, it is never theless m y conviction that mos£ people are lu many respec ts extremis ts. They' re either too conservative or too liberal, too circumspect or absolutely thoughtless, too impressionable or not impressionable enough. It is of the concrete of these last two qual ities tha t I wish to speak-vagabondia I'll wander completely from my star ting point and tell you a a bout three of t he most impressive things I know.

The f irst is very nearby, serving wel1 as nn exarnple to us that have eyes nnd see not. It's j ust a weatherbeaten cross in a count ry churchyard, the little churchyard in Bourbot,m ais to the nor th of Roy H all. One stro lling a bout will invariabl y be drawn to t he wooden cross whi ch stands as a mute reminder of Golgotha's three hours. It conjures up visions of the Man who was crucified as a crimina l but who prayed for His executioners because they knew not. The pained eyes of the figure on the cross look down upon a brol<en s la b of s tone. Despite t he effects of time and weather one can read the inscription--"The world was made by Him and the world kn ew Him not ."

Language is the \'clllclc of thought. No matter how weighty thought may be, it must d~pend upon the spoken or written wor<l for its conveyance. The terminology of a. language, there!ore, becomes of great Importance In the exp.-.,ssion of thought, for Inadequate or defective terms may utterly distort its meaning. For o. language to be Its best possible medium, it Is essential that it be concise and logical with no ambiguous terms. Latin Is such a language. No other tongun bas achieved tbe ability to e.'<press ideas in such terse and pregnant phrases. No other tongue has the logic and clarity of the Latin pbraseoiO!fY· It is indeed the language of philosophers and leaders of thought.
As an evidence of the general recognition of these fo.cts, scholars of the Renaissance, that golden age of philosophy and llterature, continued to speak and express their thoughts in Latin long after Its general use bad declined. It was the universal language of scholars and it became the hallmark of !earning and culture. The Church Is essentially Latin In cul ture and Its illustrious . works are wri t ten in that tongue. Great philosophers and eminent doctors of the Cburcb, e. g. St. Augustine ,St. Thomas Aquinas, Thomas A. Kempis, Robert BeUarmine, found It the best medium for the transmission of their thoughts to posterity. But the scholars of the Renaissance and not alone in their use and appreciation of the La tin, for great centers of modern learning such as the University of Louvain, the Sarbonne, Sa lamanca, and Bologna retain the old Latin culture to the present day.

STUDENT PAPER Nothing is more ~:on duc i v" to h umility t ha n to compare current
issues with previous issues of th e VIA TOR IAN; especially when it was edited by men like t he Rt. R ev. Msgr. F ulton J . Sheen, Dr. Charles A . Hart , and a h ost of other men who are famous a t the present time. W ithout a doubt, in those days the VIATORIAN was t he exemp lif ication of j ourna listic p erfection.
W e not e with a great deal of inter est that studen t s not connect ed in any way with the staff f requent ly util ized the columns of t he VIAT ORIAN to e-xp ress personal opinions and convictions on worthw hile and im portan t topics of the day . R G., t he treatise on " L abor and Labor Reform " wr itten by Father Hart in '17 is as valuable and as inter esting today as the day it was written ; the debate of t he R t. R ev. Msgr . Ful ton Sheen on t he "Compulsory Arbitration of La bo t· Dispu tes " is a magnificen t piece of w ork; he p resen ts a case wh ich may ver y r eadily be used as a model by a ny college d eba t er a t t he present tim e. Although examples could be multipied a lmost ad infinitum, the above two w ill suffice.
'l'be articles of tlwse men are as fresh and as interesting as if t hey had been written yester day. The reason being of course, tha t t he articles dealt with fundamenta l and essential princip les; principles whic h were present yesterday, exist today, and wi ll r emain nnchaugccl tomorrow.
The ob \'ious point is this: Ther e are meu in the college today who will some day guide the destines of nation s and empir es; men \\·ho will be l eaders of tomorrow as t he men mentioned ab ove ar e the leaders of today . \i e take this opportunity . of reminding our students that t1e columns of the VIATORIAN are open to anything they haYe to say, just as the VIATOHIA.N of old printed the comments of these f amous men.
Since the VIA.'l'ORIA.N exists primarily to serve the student body, it is our duty to express student opinion. Moreover, we are both anxious and willing to perform this duty.

Fr. Maguire, coach, also furnished bls squad with other essential equipment such as new Ticonderoga penells, desk pads , and each debater Is furnJ shed with a new Webs ter Dictionary for debate use exclusively. Along with the dictionary jobs, each rhetorician was presented with a 'large bottle of.

Brother Edward's gentle disposition, refined manners, and devotion to the cause to which he dedicated bis life, made him a general favorite with his confreres at St. Bernard's H a ll and the students at St. Viator College.
