Mulhem, THE ST. IGNATIUS COL,IvEGIAN. The Jesuits in Chicago. A History of Holy Family Church and St. Ignatius College. (1872-1878.) WHEN the great fire of October, 1871, had spent its force, thousands stood gazing across the smoking and ghastly ruins that stretched to the north and east. Under that smoldering and twisted wreckage lay their homes and the treas- ured possessions of a lifetime. To many there was nothing left to call their own but the strong arms and the unconquerable will that had once raised a city in the wilderness and turned again to repeat the task. From this all but universal ruin, the Holy Family Parish was exempt. It would be unjust to say that they were insensible to the misery around them, or to deny that in hundreds of unrecorded acts they held out to the suffering and destitute thousands, bands that were not empty. But situated as they were on the very edge of the fire-swept region, their homes were unravaged, their schools and their churches were turned into temporary asylums for the homeless and the needy. But more than this, as time went on, thousands flocked to the western part of the city, and at the ap- proach of winter filled its unoccupied sites, until its busy streets and crowded homes were all that stood before the world for the City of Chicago. Thus the misfortune of many was turned into the prosperity of a few, and from the fire-swept ruins of Chicago the West Side rose to a sudden and temporary ascendency. The Bishop of the diocese, whose cathedral and residence had been leveled in the general catastrophe, made St. Ignatius College his headquarters for the space of six months. At the end of his stay, desiring to leave some permanent token of his gratitude, he contributed the sum of one thousand dollars to the THE ST. IGNATIUS COLL,EGIAN. 3 College Museum of Science and Natural History, then in its in- fancy. In this benefaction the reverend donor builded better than he knew. The work thus early encouraged by his generosity, grew and prospered under the long and able management of its curator. Reverend Francis X. Shulak. For many years this Museum has been one of the glories of St. Ignatius College, although it will appeal more perhaps to the student and the man of science than to the casual visitor. It is situated on the same floor as the ex- hibition hall and adjoining it, occupying the entire length and breadth of the east and west wings of the College building. The specimens are arranged in ornamented cases—the wood carving in the Natural History section is unusually rich and tasty. Here are gathered a great variety of rare and costly specimens from all quarters of the globe, corals from the Pacific, amethysts from Austria, and metal ores from the American mines. The geological and botanical specimens are varied, although incomplete. Of less scientific value, though perhaps of greater general interest, is the collection of curios, from the crude arrow head and calumet of aboriginal American workmanship to the delicate tracery that be- speaks the patient and perfect art of India and Japan. The growth of the congregation already referred to as well as the unusual extent of the parish (then the largest in the city), made it imperative at this time to erect a new parish within the limits of the old. To this end, a piece of land about one mile southeast of the old property was purchased for four thousand dollars, and a wooden church, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, erected thereon. At the same time, a small chapel on the western boundar}' of the parish, known as St. Pius', was turned over to the Bishop and by him entrusted to the care of the secular clergy. Another improvement in the College which has remained with modifications to the present day was made in the following year. The entire upper floor of the College building was fitted up as a hall and provided with a gallery. A stage was likewise equipped with the scenery necessary for ordinary college dramatics. The hall and gallery had a combined seating capacity of sixteen hun- dred. An observatory was also projected and the platform of the structure actually erected on the roof of the College building. The 4 THE ST. IGNATIUS COL,L,EGIAN. purchase of the instruments and the construction of the dome were left to future time, but long before that time arrived the grime and smoke and dust which have made Chicago famous rendered the fulfillment of the project futile. But the beginning of the work remains to this day in the queer, stunted prism which stands above the College and has caused wonderment and curiosity to many. In spite of the great setback given to the city by the fire, the attendance at the College gradually recovered, and was well over the hundred mark during the annual examinations of 1872. It passed the second century mark early in the succeeding year. Good conduct and diligence among the students was encouraged by a double system of awards, the bestowal of good conduct testimo- nials at stated times, and the conferring of a gold medal upon the student judged most worthy by the united vote of the faculty and student body. While the first system is still in vogue, the second seems to have been discontinued after three years. It is interest- ing to note that this medal was first awarded to Cornelius B. Suljivan, who subsequently entered the Society of Jesus and died in Detroit universally beloved as a holy and zealous priest. At last, after sixteen years of unremitting labor. Father Damen passed from the government of St. Ignatius College and from the records of its subsequent achievements. It had for some time been evident that Father Damen must surrender either the work of the missions or the direction of the College, for the Col- lege was growing fast and demanded the undivided labors of one man. On the missions, Father Damen's place coiild not be filled by another, in this work his zeal and fervid eloquence made him preeminent, but there were many able and experienced college men who could readily take up his other duties. And so, on the 26th of August, 1872, the Reverend Ferdinand Coosemans arrived from St. Louis to assume the duties of President of St. Ignatius College. For a time, it is true, Father Damen's headquarters were in Chicago, and here he returned during the brief intervals between his missionary journeys, and he still retained the title of head pastor of the church he had founded. The students' sodality dates from the second day of Novem- ber, 1872, when Mr. Charles M. Charropin, S. J., gathered to- gether fifty students distinguished for their piety, and organized THE ST. IGNATIUS COLLEGIAN 5, them under the patronage of the Mother of God. At first, the meetings were held on Sunday afternoons three times in the month, and on the fourth Sunday the sodaHsts received com- munion at an early mass. As the city grew, and the residences of many students became farther removed from the College, the time of meeting was changed to the evening after class. During the years 1872-73 little of moment occurred either in church or College. The semi-annual and annual examinations dur- ing these early days were conducted orally and by classes in the exhibition hall.

  • Nechronica.Pdf
    A world in which humanity has met its end. A world in which everyone has died. A world in which nothing more can die. In which naught stirs but walking corpses. The protagonists of Nechronica are the girls of this world unfortunate enough to possess hearts- the Dolls. To put it simply, it is a game in which the players become zombie girls and fight against other zombies. The one who caused the dead to wake- the ruler of this shattered world- is the Necromancer. The Necromancer serves as both the master of the game and the archenemy. For it could be none other than the Necromancer who gave hearts to the Dolls. For in a world filled with mindless puppets, the Dolls- they alone whom possess wills of their own- are no more than toys. For the tragic comedy wrought by the foes sent against them is a delightful spectacle. Since Dolls are already dead, they will find no rest when they are broken. The peace of death came to an end long ago, just as did the world itself. As we have a cup of tea, beneath these skies as gray as lead- let us tell the tale of this long, long epilogue. Nechronica -The Long Long Sequel- is a tabletop (pencil-and-paper, face-to-face, et al.)

  • Railway History Chronology
    St. Thomas Railway History Chronology 1834 - The plan for the Great Western Railway (GWR) is conceived. An economic depression delays implementation for several years. 23 October 1847 - Sod-turning commences for the GWR. It becomes the largest system in Southwestern Ontario. 1850s - Surveying for railway lines is conducted in the St. Thomas area by different railroad companies. Among those reported in the St. Thomas Weekly Dispatch are routes to Simcoe and Amherstburg. 1854 - Citizens of St. Thomas are disappointed that the GWR decided to build through London from Windsor to Niagara Falls instead of St. Thomas. St. Thomas’s leading citizens had been campaigning for years for a railway. 1856 - The London and Port Stanley Railway (L&PS) is inaugurated. Though it was initially supported by St. Thomas, it turned out to be a financial disaster, as St. Thomas merchants lost customers to London. The city purchased shares in the company for $125,000.00 a piece and later sold them to the City of London, who owned the line, for $25,000.00 per share. 1868 - The Erie and Niagara Extension Railway is chartered and the following year it is renamed the Canada Southern Railway (CASO). Late 1860’s - William A. Thomson rallies support for the CASO run between Amherstburg and Fort Erie to connect to St. Thomas. He is successful. 1871 - The CASO Station is built in anticipation of the railroad’s arrival the following year. It still stands today. 1872- The GWR, afraid of losing traffic to the CASO, constructed a rival St. Thomas to Glencoe line, thereby affording St.

  • John Boyle, Greg Curnoe and Joyce Wieland: Erotic Art and English Canadian Nationalism
    John Boyle, Greg Curnoe and Joyce Wieland: Erotic Art and English Canadian Nationalism by Matthew Purvis A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Cultural Mediations Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2020, Matthew Purvis i Abstract This dissertation concerns the relation between eroticism and nationalism in the work of a set of English Canadian artists in the mid-1960s-70s, namely John Boyle, Greg Curnoe, and Joyce Wieland. It contends that within their bodies of work there are ways of imagining nationalism and eroticism that are often formally or conceptually interrelated, either by strategy or figuration, and at times indistinguishable. This was evident in the content of their work, in the models that they established for interpreting it and present in more and less overt forms in some of the ways of imagining an English Canadian nationalism that surrounded them. The dissertation contextualizes the three artists in the terms of erotic art prevalent in the twentieth century and makes a case for them as part of a uniquely Canadian mode of decadence. Constructing my case largely from the published and unpublished writing of the three subjects and how these played against their reception, I have attempted to elaborate their artistic models and processes, as well as their understandings of eroticism and nationalism, situating them within the discourses on English Canadian nationalism and its potentially morbid prospects. Rather than treating this as a primarily cultural or socio-political issue, it is treated as both an epistemic and formal one.

  • Qohelet's Philosophies of Death
    QOHELET’S PHILOSOPHIES OF DEATH This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Murdoch University, 2009. I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. ………………..................................... (Kathryn Imray) ABSTRACT This thesis arises at the meeting place of a philosophical and a thanatological treatment of the book of Qohelet. A philosophical treatment is defended on the grounds of previous studies of the type of thinking evidenced in the text, as well as a comparison with ancient notions of philosophy which suggest that philosophy concerns the type of questions asked, the method of answering the questions, the answers to the questions, and the purpose of the endeavour. A thanatological treatment is defended both on the grounds of previous studies of the text as well as on the grounds of clear evidence that the text is very concerned with the issue of death. From a philosophical perspective it is assumed the book says something about such themes as beauty, knowledge, states of being, ethics, and the benefits of a philosophical outlook. These philosophical categories are combined with the text’s thanatology. The thesis therefore presents: a death aesthetic, in which death can be beautiful; an epistemology of death, in which we are shown to possess certain knowledge of our own mortality in contrast to the lack of understanding we possess about the events of life; a phenomenology
