THE Alumni Association is on the receiving end give him an outlet for his social leanings because of the stick of every graduate when he feels he can't let them out anywhere else. something goes wrong with the college. It gets complaints, ten to every offer of congratulation, With a broader vision, an alumni association plus a number of miscellaneous comments about comes to mean a lot more. It stands as the point things that have little to do with the association of working contact between the graduates as grad except that somehow or other they fit under the uates and the university. It presupposes that their name of Loyola. In a way this is a good sign. If concern for it is not superficial, and that if it is people didn't care, they wouldn't complain. But they may as well not join it. The working contact a little reflection always helps to place the blame is not social, emotional or prejudicial - "my uni in the right place, if blame is due, and more often versity is better than yours."

They weren't exactl y -· forgotten-it was just that no one paid attention to them. Then finally someone opened the box during the renovations in the building and found a small treasure trove of documents, log books and mi scell aneous papers. This, com bined with Tim Slattery's dedication to Loyola, led to the new book which will appear on the stands shortly, " Loyola and Montrea l. " ../' Mr. Slattery says the discovery of - the documents opened the way to a whole new interpretation of the col lege's hi story. The oddity is that no one thought of looking for these papers, although several people must have uspected they ex isted. But hi s tory kept its secret until the right time, and then di sclosed it. In fact, it kept it very well. Generations of high school stud ents slept in the dorms on the top floor of the Junior Building until last year, and hundreds of students A HISTORY by over the years have hiked up the narrow steps from it to the attic to 1 put away their trunks for the year. T. P. SLATTERY But no one, including the students poking around in the semi -darkness to get and put away their skis on weekends, gave the papers more than a second glance when they stumbled over the box. For all they cared, it might have belonged to a student. But, at the right time, the con tent of the box were discovered, or re-discovered as Tim Slattery puts it, a nd the first comprehensive hi s tory of Loyola was on it. way. The bulk of the papers were the logs kept by the Ministers of the College and the Prefects of Di scip line.

-7- A NEW ENGLISH COLLEGE
Jesuit Fathers will Open One in September 1896 It has been reported for some time past that the Jesuit Fathers intcded opening an exclusive ly English cl assical school in this city. The report is true, and on September 2nd eve rything will be in readiness for the reception of pupils. For the present the new college . will be opened to students of the grammar classes only, and the high er cl asses of the English cl assical course will be con tinued at St. Mary's College, Bleury street, where for the past seven years the Engli sh course has been taught and well attended. The F athers have rented the very suitable build ings at the corner of St. Catherine and Bleury streets, lately vacated by the Ladies' of the Sacred Heart. The Rev. Gregory O'Bryan, S.J ., for several years engaged in mi ss ion work throughout Canada, has been chosen president of the new college. This step has been taken at the earnest solicitation of the English-speak ing clergy and laity of the city; and they have prom ised every help towards furthering this praiseworthy undertaking.

T he convocation brought back all the thoughts that a homecoming evokes at the coll ege, and there were the usual number of graduates around from way back who simply couldn't believe that it had been that many years since they walked the a rbours from the administration building to the auditorium to receive their degrees.
During the ceremonies the Rec tor, Very R ev. Father P. G. Malone, S.J ., said the college enrolment stood at 1,087, an increase of 12.5 per cent over last year's, and 634 students were registered in the even ing extension courses.
