Hugh Blunt, who graduated from Notre Dame the same year as the Archbishop, introduced him to the gathering, and the Arch bishop delivered a most pleasing and absorbing talk.

Chicago The Chicago Club has had two affairs which were a source of enthusiasm to the ofBcers and those who attended—the Bal Noel, on January 6, and the Annual Election Banquet, on January 29. As another example of the last being first, a resume of the election banquet must necessarily be highlighted, as was the affair itself, by Father Cavanai^'s inspiring talk. Although the banquet was held on one of the coldest nights of a very cold winter, the fact that the president of the Uni versity was to be there drew a substantial and spirited crowd.

Dr. Weis was appointed City Chairman of the Foundation to replace Dr. Bert Coughlin, who had been chairman for sometime, but has moved from St. Louis to Minneapolis. The Notre Dame Club has suffered in losing Dr. Coughlin, for he had been very interested and active in many important and time-consuming Club activities. He was chair man of the Football Trip Committee for years, on the Board of Directors of the Club, and has held various ofHccs in the Club. He is certainly one of the best known and most popular members of the Club. There will be a Club election in the coming month, wherein approximately seven new Board members will be selected.
