The Reverend Peter P. Forrestal,
C.S.C., as representative of the Uni-
versity, and the Reverend Paul J.
Foik, C.S.C., representing the Texas
Knights of Columbus Historical Com-
mission, attended the installation of
Bishop Gerken as the Archbishop of
Santa Fe on August 23 in Santa Fe,
New Mexico.
The installation of the new arch-
bishop was one of the grandest occa-
sions in the Catholic history of the
Southwest. Thirty bishops and over
250 priests from all parts of the United
States and Mexico attended the cere-
mony. Among the distinguished vis-
itors were the apostolic delegates to the
United States and Mexico.

DALLAS EXES FORM
ST. EDWARD’S CLUB
p-. B
In
Two new instructors, Joseph Mur-
<phy and Charles Schulze, both mem-
* bers of last year’s graduating class,
have been added to the Academy fac-
ulty for this year. Mr. Murphy of
Texarkana was granted the bachelor
of science degree in June and Mr.
Schulze of Irving, Texas, received the
bachelor of science in commerce degree
at the same time.
At the first meeting of the fresh-
man class held Friday, September 21,
Howard McCollum, first year man
from Chicago, was elected temporary
president. Anthony Kucholtz, sopho-
omore class president, presided over
the meeting.
Ed Coleman, president of the Stu-
dent Activities council, gave a short
talk explaining the work of the coun-
cil. Kucholtz then spoke to the fresh-
men urging them to uphold the tra-
ditions of St. Edwards a A built up by
the classes which have preceded them.
Another meeting will be held as
soon as the freshmen have had time
to become better acquainted to elect
the permanent officers, Kucholtz an-
nounced.
After the mass the new archbishop
ascended his throne and received the
clergy of the archdiocese upon whom
he bestowed a special blessing. When
they had pledged obedience to him he
gave a short talk in English and Span-
ish. Following the archbishop’s talk
were a few words from the apostolic
delegate to the United States who was
seated on a throne on the epistle side
of the altar.
The former students of St. Edward’s
University in Dallas met on Wednes-
day, September 6, and formed the
Dallas St. Edwards club. Remigius
Fette, ’29, was elected president.
Election of other officers was post-
poned until a later meeting.
The Rev. Raymond Pieper, C.S.C.,
representative of the University,
spoke on the necessity of the utmost
support from former students. Louis
W. Hickey, LL.D., last year's com-
mencement speaker, gave a short talk.
Due to the absence of most of the
former students who were out of the
city most of the business was held
over to a later meeting. President
Fette called the next meeting for Fri-
day, September 29, the eve of th St.
Edward’s-Bayloi- game. Arrange-
ments will be made for the transpor-
tation of a large number of former
students to the game, according to in-
formation received here.
The University library received re-
cently the library of the late Rt. Rev.
Msgr. James M. Cleary of the Church
of the Incarnation, Minneapolis, Minn.
The Rev. Dr. Joseph Burks, C. S. C.,
former president of this institution,
received the collection from the exec-
utives of Msgr. Cleary’s will and in
turn donated the books to St. Ed-
ward’s.
This donation is remarkable, be-
cause of its character and contents,
and is perhaps one of the largest gifts
that the school has received in recent
years. It contains many of the world’s
classics in de luxe edition bindings.
In all there are 350 or more items.
Among other things of note are some
rare works of history and science.
It is the purpose of the Rev. Paul
J. Foik, C. S. C., librarian, by way of
memorial, to have a book plate made
containing Msgr. Cleary’s name. A
record shall also be kept in gratitude
to Father Burke, whose kindness to
and interest in St. Edward’s has not
lessened since his withdrawal from the
school.
The catalogued list of the books
contained in the library is presented
on page 3, so that its nature and value
may be appreciated.

The student retreat, held annually
over a period of three days, was
opened on Monday morning, Septem-
ber 18, by the Rev. Alexander Chapa-
ton, C.SS.R. of San Antonio, and
closed on Thursday morning with the
giving of the Papal Benediction.
A slight deviation from the usual
routine was effected in this year's
schedule of exercises. The morning
exercises, consisting of Holy Mass
and a short sermon, were held at 6:20.
The usual 11:30 instruction was not
carried out in the program of Father
Chapaton, but each evening at 7:30
a long sermon followed by Benedic-
tion was held.

monies in the cathedral. The church

Several priests on the University
faculty were assigned to new posi-
tions for this year and two new men,
one from Notre Dame and one from
Columbia University in Portland, Ore-
gon, are here to replace them.
The Rev. John Margraf, C.S.C., head
of the department of foreign langua-
ges at Notre Dame and Columbia uni-
versity for a number of years, is pro-
fessor of English and Latin as well
as rector of the hall in connection
^with the administration building.
In the department of philosophy
the Rev. Cornelius Hagerty, C.S.C.,
has been replaced by the Rev. Chris-
topher O’Toole, C.S.C. Father Hagery,
head of the department, was granted
a leave of absence for one year to
complete a work in philosophy at
Holy Cross college in Washington, D.
C., but he is still connected with the
University. Father O’Toole only re-
cently finished some special work in
philosophy at the Catholic university
America.
The Rev. George J. MacNamara,
C.S.C., professor of English for many
years at St. Edward’s, has been given
a year’s leave of absence and will be
assistant pastor at Sacred Heart
Church in New Orleans.
In anticipation of a banner year in
musical activities, Professor Joseph J.
Van Ackeren began the organization
of his music groups early this year.
The first rehearsal for the University
choir was held on the evening of Sep-
tember 15 in preparation for the sol-
emn opening of the school year on
Sunday. He has also sent out his first
call for students interested in compet-
ing for a place on the orchestra.
To date an even dozen voices have
reported for work in the choir, but the
director has set twenty-four as his
goal, and is working daily in an ef-
fort to build up his ideal organization.
The twelve who sang the High Mass
on the opening Sunday, and who are
the mainstays around which the direc-
tor hopes to build up his ideal choir,
are: Claud Notzon, Cyril Race, Dan
Hickey, Pierre Pineda, Jack Allen,
Francis McGloin, C. C. Beverly, John
Starkie, Dan Pollock, John Rylance,
William Kohl, and John Raffaelli .
This group sang the two-part Mass
in Honor of St. Anthony at the Sol-
emn High Mass on opening Sunday,
and also at the regular High Mass
last Sunday.
The director has several new Masses
on hand, among them a four-part
Mass, on which he expects to begin
work as soon as he is successful in
getting his full group of twenty-four
men organized.
Only Eight for Orchestra
Rehearsal hours for the choir were
announced for 7:30 on Monday and
Thursday evenings of every week.

Visitors Are Feted
At noon the clergy and the other
religious attended a luncheon at the
Hotel Fonda. Several of the digni-
taries spoke.
In the evening closing the day’s pro-
gram was a civic banquet under the
auspices and direction of the Knights
of Columbus. A number of the prelates
addressed those present. Among the
lay prominent attending ihe banquet
were the governor of New Mexico and
the mayor of Santa Fe.
The new archbishop and other dig-
nitaries received visitors and con-
versed with them informally after the
banquet.
The installation was the occasion of
one of the greatest gatherings of
Catholic notables ever seen in the
Southwest.
A Solemn High Mass in the Main
Chapel of the University, celebrated
by the Rev. Francis J. Boland, C.S.C.,
vice-president, marked the formal
opening of the school year on Sunday,
September 17. The vice-president of-
ficiated at the ceremonies. * x
In a brief address to the assembled
student body, Father Boland spoke a
few warm words of welcome for old
students and new ones. He said that
he was pleased to see a gathering of
young men who are availing them-
selves of the opportunity to receive a
Catholic education, and admonished
his hearers to make the best of the
opportunities, educational, and spirit-
ual, that were being offered.
Officers of the Mass were: Deacon,
the Rev. James J. O’Brien, C. S. C.;
subdeacon, the Rev. Frank Brown, C.
S. C.; master of ceremonies, the Rev.
Christopher O’Toole, C. S. C.
The choir, under the direction of
Professor Joseph J. Van Ackeren,
made its first appearance of the year
with the Mass in Honor of St. An-
thony.
The Rev. Walter O’Donnell, C. S. C.,
prefect of religion, announced the
opening of the student retreat on Mon-
day morning, September 18, and
urged all students to make every ef-
fort to derive the greatest possible
benefits from the religious practice.
