The Sophomore members of the

Freshmen Entertain 'Sophll"
One of the most enjoyable social
events of our college year, was the
bridge party given the Sophomores
by the Freshmen. The long verandah
01 the O:>llege. set with card tables
decorated with lighted candles, is a
delightful place to hold a card party,
and such it proved that evening.
Thc prize for the hight!! score
was won by )o[jss E"c1yn Pritchard,
and the consolation prize was award­td
to )oiiss :Mary Swan.
Charming favors. ;n the form of
bluc leathcr card cases stamped with
thc artistic N. C., in gold. were pre­sented
to all the guests.
The refrcshments formed a dainty
iactor in the evening's enjoyable en­tertainment.

duly appreciated and applauded. 'but
at the cnd 01 lhe month, the whole
nation again sinks ba~k into patriotic
letharn until another national holi­day
is ushered in to remind it of iu
heroes.
Few countries have had heroes of
the calibre of Washington and Lin­coln-
the soldier who carved the
nation. and the martyr who saved
it from disunion, and. of coursc. it
is a fine and noble thing to pay hom­age
to those countrymen of ours. who
sacrificed their lives for us; equaUy
of coursc. it is a mark of rcspttt and
"er>Cration to proclaim their birth­days
al National Holidays. But
would it not be a greater honor, a
more sincere token of appreciation, to
brina to light the ideals of those
heroes, to I rame them and haDg them
on the walls of our memories, to make
usc of the Icssons they tanght, to lcaru
the keyword "scrviu" to which their
li\'es were attuned?
For, after all. what greater hom­age
an be rendered .. man than imi­tation,
and how can one better imitate
either Washington or Lincoln than
by making one's self. the scrvant of
e"ery worthy cause? Heroism spells
service-the service of hands aDd heart
and mind in the performance of duty.
and the highest duty of everyone is
obcdiCllce to God and loyalty to our
country. Service to God is rendered
by loving Him and being charitable
to our neighbor; service to our Coun­try
is rendered by becoming as fine a
citiz~n as it lin in our power to be­come.
How best ean College Women be_
Oh'!it isoo difficult to ke<:p on
guard always, and it i~ so casy to let
the idcals slip and lie neglected in
some obscure corncr of our minds.
Once the ideals arc disreg1lrded, what
is t~re to prevent pett)' ambition and
petty desires from controlling our
actions?
"Heroes ar~ made. not born." \Ve
smile at the old adage. so stereo­tnled
that it has bttn used as a cap­tion
lor one oi our most popular
cartoons. However. its full signifi­cance
may be ca;il), recognized and
is it not an inspiration to be endowed
from birth with the privileg~ of be·
coming a hero if we will?
We cannot all be the national
heroes that \Vashiugton and Lincoln
have bt.-come. Perhaps most of our
names will be added to the loni list
of '·IIIl.ung heroes," but whether we
reap reward in this world is of little
importanc~ so long as our service was
genuine.
\Ve think it must make the spirits
of grat heroes restless and sad (if
spirits an be sad) to rcalize that all
thdr suffering and all thdr deeds
were in vain. As soon as the good.
which they cffected becomes a stand·
ard and accepted lad. new evils crop
up and their COUIlU')' needs another
hero to !aye it irom itself.
America is in need of such a hero
now-a ~ro to wrestle with and con­quer
the innumerable forCC'5 tending
to disrupt the nation. God always
has pn')Vided a sa"iour lor us in pre­"

Address by Dr, Derry.

made notable by the lecture giVCD by

with us, which has led and is lading
to much of the deterioration of the
social fabric. It is hard lor a man
to admit there is a God, when he is
not li"ing in accordan~ with the laws
of God.
The history 01 those who seek to
forget God. was epitomized by Dr.
Derry by the three D's, as opposed to
the three R's: Doubt. Despair, Dirt.
Dr. Derry addrelSed the !acuity,
.tudems and friends of the College
on the subject, "The Cultured Cath­olic
Facing the World of 'fo--day,"
with particular reference to the Cath­ulic
College Woman.
Herder. the great German poet·
philosopher-said Dr. Derry-when
d),ing. begged for an idea, on which
he might lil'c, that he might combat
death with lile. That il what the
world. consciously or unconsciously,
.cd" tnday. It seeks a dynamic idea.
(Aud, by the way, "dynamic" mull
in~tanth' suggest itself in any audi­en
« as a prc-cmincnt trait of this
~pcaker's personality.)
Sociologish deal with ideas. Now
books being the repOsitories of the
ideas oi the ages, a 10"e of books is,
in a narrow sense, what we mean
w~n we speak of culture. As Cath­olic
students of society, however, we
widen the field of culture immensely.
Our knowledge, our research into
causes. our study of the humanities,
is to bear fruit, according to Dr.
Derry, in our application of our cui­turc.
our Catholic idea. to the life
aoout U'.-contacts with and service
nl mankind.
To grasp the Idea, involves a com­l'rchclI.
sion of Dr. Derry's thre<: R's:
Reason. Realization and Resolution.
Our speaker made the startling
.tatcmCllt that we. Catholics, are the
only rationali,u left in the world.
In elaborating. he includlld the well­known
fact that coUeges no longer
requirc students to take careful
courses in Logic to enable them, act­ually.
to raton correctly, to arrive
at .j.3ne conclusion. The old, trouble­some
eTror of philo5()phy has actually
become a rule: "Post hoc, "go
f'ro"lff hoc. This principle we, as
Catholics in pursuit of the Idea, ab­!
iOlutely refuse to countenance. Neith­er
do we whole heartedly accept the
glib definition that science is collected,
organilcd knowledge. We look to
sccienee as the study of first causes.
Realization: here we find the em­bodiment
of the Idea. for our Idea is
God working in His universe. Civil­ization.
we say, i, the influence of His
teachings. of Christianity. on the
world. and Christianity means "Em·
manuel": "God with us". It" the
realization of this Idea that should
orientate us, not the knowledge of the
fact in a vague way. but i1$ aetual
realization by meditation upon it, and
by a life to corrcspond with this
knowledge. \Ve have the best reason
for laying down this preeept, for
Emmanuel. God with liS. is thc Word.
the Idea. Inade Flesh. Whose mem·
ben we are. It is forgetfulness
of the fact. that the Three PeTlons
of the Bleued Trinity are. indeed,
As to the third point. Resolution in
mailers of religion, it is a truism that
no mediution on the truth is fruitful
without a resolution. Therefore, we
are to make a resolution, and to bue
it on Christ', words as He was
about to sacrifice His life "For
their sakes, I santify ~fy;df." Here
is the true solution (If the 5()ciol­ogists'
problem: reform the world
b)' bcginniug first with the individual.
(and that individual, yourself) rather
than the topsy-turvy method of trying
to reform the world first.
\Vhat assurance we have ill our
work for that inllcr kingdom of
Christ, now that the realization of
the Idea includes "the Heart Which
has loved mell so much." thc concept
<>f old dispensation. "God is Love,"
made U1ngible!
As Catholic College Women, Dr.
Derry recommended to our consider_
ation the result oi a survey, he re­cently
made. Its purpose was to ascer­tain
causes oi the high worth and
success of various eminent per5()nJ,
as voiccl by themscl\'es. The resulu
ascribed, were 5 per cent. to eollcge
education, 20 per cent to the influCl1(e
of thcir elementary schools, and 13
per cent. to the abiding power for
good 01 a Christian Mother. in a
Christian home.
To win success in our work in the
days to come, in our contacts with
people. in the classroom or in the
home. Dr. Derry stressed these
means:
1. To win the love of the children.
2. To be what we desire them
to be.
A striking cpigram closed the
speech: "Religion," he said, '"is not
taught; it is caught."
To love oneself is the beginning 01
a life long romance.
~iorality is simply the attitude we
adopt towards other people whom we

The following tale is told of
WaShington\ in the troubled days
of the Revo ution:
A certain lieutenant was noted
as a severe disciplinarian, and
very often visitors came to his
camp to see the movement of the
well-ordered troops. One day, a
man was wandering in the woods
near by, and through the trees
came the sharp voice of the lieu-tenant,
"Heave to--once more, al­toget
her now, heave, up!"
All the man advanced through
the trees to the open space near
by, where the men were working,
he saw four men vainly striving
to lift a tree from the ground.
He stood there watching them.
Obviously the strength of one
more man was needed to pedorm
the tau.
"Why don't you give a hand
there?" queried the man.
The lieutenant turned and ga~ed
at the intruder. Very coldly he
looked at him, and his glance
seemed to pierce into the very
depUls of the man's soul. He
answered, "Sir, I am a lieuten­ant."
The man replied nothing, but
threw off his coat and began to
work.
"Once more-heave to 1"
Then with a resounding thud,
the log fell into place. The man
drew away and the lieutenant

ill the flickering light of the fireside
and in the dazzling brilliance of the
stage. he is enshrined as the Ameri.

tutelary genius. whose hovering spirit

of his people. Lest. however, in the
idealizing of Lincoln, the picture
should loose some of its rich color

humanity should he submerged,
let u, .trive to remember Lincoln. the

St. Valentine's Day
I wonder how many of us know
wbere and how the custom of send­illg
Valentines originated. The cus­tom
as we have it now, ;5 not in its
original form, however.
SI. Valentine was born in 270. He
was a priest of Rome, who laid down
his life because of his Faith. But
thCTC i~n't the slightest oonnedion
between his history and the customs
of his feast-day as we now cdebrate
it, except the date.
The Rome of the time of St. Val_
entine was largely a Pagan city, and
the month of February was conse­crated
to the Pagan goddess. Feb­mUla
Juno. This goddess was re­garded
as the patroness of giT!s. On
February 14 they observed the Pagan
custom of the boys of the city draw­ing.
each, the name of a girl.
The customs of a people are hard
to abolish. and SO when the Church
came into her own, the ~u~tom of
drawing the name of some Saint who
would be the patron of boy or girl
for the year to come. aud whose vir­tues
they should try to copy. was
substituted for the Pagan custom.
The ~ard bearing the nameS of the
Sainu were di.tribtued in the par­ishes
ou the old least of the goddess.
Febmary 14. which happened to be
thc Christian feast of St. Valentine.
Thus his name has come down to us
with an entire1v different connection.
The Pagan ~ustom persisted. how­c'
·e<. but was finally abolished, in its
most offensive features, in the 17th
C<'Iltury when St. Francis de Sales
took a stand against it.
Now everyone looks forward to
receiving a Valentine on Febmary 14.
What must be the thoughts of good
St. Valentine as he looks down from
heaven. and sees the use to which his
name is put?
The last stanza of "A Blue Valen­tine,"
written by JO}'~ Kilmer. in
which he addresses Monsignore
Right Reverend Bishop Valentinus.
embodies the Christian spirit which. I
am sure. St. Valentine would fu1\y
approve.

Do me this favour:
When you this morning make your
way
To the Ivory Throne that bursts into

her who sits upon it,
Whcn you come to pay you, devoir
to Our Lady,
I beg you. say to her:
"Madame. a poor poet. one of your

V Glorioul! Defeat,
Is it not token of some hidden
good,
Of some nobility not understood,
That always through our ordinary
day!!
We most do love a tale of the
brave way!!
Of those men, staunch and Joyal,
who met defeat
Upon some desperate bloody field,
mid heat
Of battle for a cause long doomed
to fail,
Who falling knew their soul$
would yet prevail?
Victorious array of banners
massed
And haughty marching soldiery,
have passed
Before our eyes, on history'S
bright $croll,
A thousand times; perchance the
drum-beats' roll
Falls faint upon our ears, gains
scant acclaim.
Howe'er we kindle to the victor's
name,
We love the dead knight with his
broken steel.
Whose brave death. to a life as
brave, set seal.
Though winning sword upon
triumphant thigh,-
Armor in shining ranks, make
hearts beat high,
The winner's fame may wane; but
you who dared
Your utmost, hazarded your all,
nor cared
To live should honor die. reck­lessly

To lost impossible causes, 'tis

Lovers, patriots, Saints-we hail:

Heroes, all, of the bitter nobler

Dear Editor:
Since you have recently offered
to the students of the Coi!ege, the
ser vices of a Bureau of Informa­tion,
I beg your kind assistance
with regard to the followinli:' Vel\'­ing'
questions:
1. As three books form a
trilogy. WHY aren't two such
hooks a "bilogy" (or would you
5UggeSt "bi1log'Y" to indicate the
short i!)
2. A social problem : The
Dcwey Avenue carline' maint ains
(more or less) regular service to
the very door of Aquinas Insti­tute.
I'll view of this fact, WHY
do so many studenh of said In­stitute
find it advantageous to
travel in Lake and Monroe stree'
ears!
3. WHY are Sophomores of
Nazareth College 50 jealous of
their prerogative of seats in the
rear of t he lecture room!
4. WHY are the Freshmen of
the same College so anxious to
usurp abo"e_mentioned right?
&. WHY has the instructor's
desk in the lecture room been ele­vated
upon a rostrum! (Person­ally,
I imagine this problem ad­mits
of several solutions.)
Many other equally weighty
problems tonnent the student­mind.
However, when the above
have been satisfactorily $ettled,
much will have been accomplished.

Dear Editor:
To ask a studcnt'~ opinion of

tempting Providencc. Would you
have us call that week. a rare treat,
a time of delight and unadul terated
joy. when students and faculty unite
to celebrate the year's agony? Shal1
I say that we welcome the long,
tedious hours. spent in thc grip of a
soul-satisfying science or a thrilling
EugJish exam?
But allow mc to citc an instance
of special rapture. namely, the lovely
languages: Spanish. aoounding in
tricky little trans lations from a con­"
ersalion book; French. with its lux­urious
growth of unknown idioms
and sketchy, yes. \"(:1'y sketchy. char­acter
sketches; Latin. plunging us in­to
strange tracts of "Livian" wilder­ness
or Horatian complacency; Ger­man.
elllangling us in the intricacies
of old German animal fables. wherein
the mouse securely rides on the back
oi the frog king: and Greek. skip­ping
blithely from Sardis to Cunaxa.

IGNO RANCE.
Dear Miss Igno Rance:
The quotation to which you re­fer
is taken from the poem "In
Memoriam" by Alfred Tennyson
who, except for the faet that he
wrote poetry, seems to have been
an otherwise perfectly normal
human being. Whether he was
ever in 10"e, you may determine
for yourself when it is stated
that he married at the age of 42 .
It seems to me that he must have
been in 10"e or, at that safe and
sane age, he would never have
been led into a social organization
whiCh he had shunned for so many
years.
However, this quotation was in­sp'red
by the death of his deal'
college chum. The significance
of the quotation in its present
usage was not its original mean­ing.
Thc Editor.
Dear Editor :
I have only faint recollections
or a song, sung by a little girl.
In it is the reference to a quarrel.
Her little friend can no longer
"play in her back-yard," "holler
down the rain-barrel" nor "slide
down the cellar-door." Can some­one
furnish the words of this
song? H. C.
Dear H. C. :
The song to which you lire re­ferring
is cntitled "Two Little
Maids." In its entirety, it is too
long for publication. The words
of the verses lire omitted, but you
may obtain them by personlllly
consulting the editor. The chorus
follows:
"I don't want to play in your
yard.
I don't like you any more;
You'\1 be sorry when you see me,
Sliding down our cellar door;
You can't holler down our rain
barrel,
You can't climb our apple tree;
I don't want to pillY in your yard,
For you won't be good to me."
