This howe ve r , is n ot done out of a spirit ot. ingratitude. but ra the r it Is due wholly to a spirit of carelessness. Dur ing his college car eer he had been g uided , a nd prompted, e n· couraged and urged , but la te r when set a dri ft In the world , he forgot the bigger things, the more lasting a nd the m or e rundame ntal sour~es ot r e'ru l.ife .

Now we can . as Catholic g raduates, turn today with great profit to the cur· r ent history of mos t fo r e ig n countries . Everywh ere we observe Catholi c thought com ing t o the front; every· w h e r e we fee l t he pulse ot. Cath olic thought constant and energetic. Every. \vhere with the eagern ess born o! broad· mlndedness, the great thinkers of the clay a r e paying tribute to the ideals that permeated the social phllosophy ot t h e great Cath olic ages. The fee l that w hen a great Cath olic mind speak s to this age, that h e s peaks !rom a cen te r of truth allen to t h em: they f ee l that there i s 1n his w o rds a p ow e r and a fi nality which they can n ever maste r : they f eel that h e has worked unde r the laws of a highe r harmony, the genius ot his churc h and t h e thought of all the Chris tia n ages . I say ever ywhere , everywher e but in the United States. We h ave no truly g reat leader in ou r midst, and it. w e have, h e seems much like the profit in the wilde1·ness, un· he ralded and unknown. And yet, in our own generation , but seemingly in an· othe r world because existing in oth e r countries, the Catholic churc h boasts such celebr ated names as C hester ton Belloc , Cheon, C laude!, P a pini, a nd many oth ers who have devoted their lives to a proper a nd adequate lntrduc· tion of Catholic doctri n es into the f ield of economies. These m e n are making our age in its every phase indebted to-. them. With a g reat beauty of the world, with profound thoug ht s hot throug h with fin e fan tasty, they bting from out of the pas t , from the h eart ot the ages ot the faith , a t h ought tha t Is ever old yet ever n ew, yet capable ot leading the world back to the pro· mised land of social and r e ligous charity.

Ame ri ca, it would seem, is r eady fo r a R enaissan ce of Catholic thou g ht. It Is reaching out for a h a nd to guide It ou t of the jung le of modern phlosophy; its h eart is tired and p erplexed . The high duty devolves upon u s, a unit in the g r eat army of Catholic gradua tes ot 1927 to penerate t h e great mist of do ubt a nd mis understanding, to ettect a sym· pathetic union with a nd to give to a waiting world the message it is yearn· lng t o r eceive. To do- this, the grad· uate must ha ""-·e secured !or himse lf a foundation in. 'catholic thought in its handmaid-Cath olic Literature. He must go forth, n ot as a warrior, but rather as a messen ger of p eace and good will, armed only with the o1ive branc h of thought derived from a noble past. His greatest weapon will be Chris tia n Tradition as unfolded by the g reatest Catholic minds the world ha.s known. It remains for the g raduat e today t o r esolve the contemporary, the social , the ethical, the indus tria l, and the r eligio us problems, because h e alone has back of him the learning , the ex· perience, and the wisdom of not this gener a tion a lone, but of a ll pas t gene·

ra tions. To him the past s ho uld be­com e a gaten""ay leading Lnto the fUturP. It may be a lo ng and tedious tn.sk . but with the courage and fortitude that has been our e ndowment while nt Vin · t or. n o such task. ho·we ve r gren t lb\ magnitude. can p revent success.

Every h our ot the day, the ir llves w e re de· voted to our betterment and to our ad· vance mcn t. No sacrifice was too great , no effort was avoided In order that we the Class of 1927 might go out !rom these walls , cultured, s cholarly and Christian gentleme n.

She found u s ch ildren , she has made us men; s h e di scovered us In the darkness a nd she h as c r owned us with lig ht ; s h e has taken us by the hand a nd h as walked with u s out ot the B abel that was our past into the la nd that is now peopled with the philosopher , the m ystic a nd the poet, wh o because of h e r , have e nlarged our mind. transmuted our hearts, a nd open· ed our eyes to the vision written on the golden doors of eternity. On our h earts s he has placed the ble ssed image o! herselt., liberatin g u s f rom ourselves, g iving to u s h er heart that is as wide as huma nity, ba ptis ing us with the wate rs whence s he got he r own lnspira.· lion-the Charity of Chris t.

There l.s something d eeper n nd more s.ignltt· cant to be round Jn the yean; which in· tervened the cnrollmenl tlnd grnduntion. During those four y enr.s Mr. Dalrymple attended nlmost every athle tic contes t staged at Viator. nnd many games thn:. were played on foreign soil. Hl.s word of cheer a nd his kindness w ero ever n. token Of victory, but in victOr)· or de­feat his lO)'alty was always enduring. His arms were always loaded with some noise-making instruments. horns, whist· les , rattlers or megaphones; and with these outward signs of h is devotion ho carried a heart ns big and noble as man mig ht have. The close of every season a lways brought a bulky p.::tckage to the school; a cake appr opriate!}• decorated t o signi fy tbe sport t or whic h It was given. Such things as these canno t be cust aside lightly a nd even the frivolous college man is touched by the sincerity which motivated this s upport. Yeater· day. those tour year s ot good c heer were, we believe, adequate ly repa id. "Jimmy," that boy that M r . Dalrymple loved so well was grad uated with honors; sen t forth as one of the clean­es t, and perhaps the mo-st gen telmanly student and athlete Via t or has ever had. And too, the College Club of St. Viator College presented Mr. Dalrymple with a h a ndsome loving c up, a las ting token of the niche which he wlll hold in the h earts of Viator m en as lon g as tho name St. Viator endures. His speech of acceptance wlll be lon g remembe1·ecl In contex it was . " Not tha t I have loved Via tor less, b u t that I have Ioveo. "Jimmy" more.''

There are two orders in society which bear an inseparable relationship one to the other, and which are necessary to each other for corporal life as the soul is n ecessary to the body. These two orders are found in the Church and the state. In order, therefore, to arrive at an adequate understanding of the pre­sent crisis in the relationship between the Church and the state in Mexico, a pholosophical discussion of the only true r elationship, as it should exiSt be­tween the Church and the state in any country, is indispensable. As this theory is one which is based on both natural and Divine law, it · is only proper that we seek its explanation in Catholic dOctrine.

The two orders, thb.t are found tn every organized government on the earth, are the spiritual order and the temporal order. These phenomena exist side by side in Christian society each with its distinctive functions. its par­ticu lar laws and its own characteristic sphere of action. Their relationship- is to the moral order as that of the body and soul is to the physical order. Or, to particularize, the Church, which never changes, represents the spirtual kingdom, while the civil government, which with its human element pos­sessed of the faculty of mutability does change. This . point of difference ex­plains the reason for discord between the civil a nd ecclesiastical powers, for clergymen, when they are actively en­gaged in state politics, very often at­t empt to introduce this immutability into civil governments. However the state as representative of the temporal power has charge over men's bodies and looks after the material wants of individuals, while the Church is the guardian of their souls. This analogy of the Church and state in the moral order with the soul and body in the physical order is just and appeals to the common sense of everyone. The soul and body are distinct, but not separate. Each has its distinctive nature , laws and functions, and neither can perform the functions of the other, nor replace the other. As separation of the soul from the body means death to the body; so likewise, separation of the Church from the state destroys its moral life and abandons society to a mru:s of corruption. The soul, as the noble r and superior part of man, b e­longs to his body, not to assume its functions, but to direct and gover11 it according to the law of God. Likewise the Church as the keeper of souls is the nobler and superior part of society; and it is her duty in the moral order to govern, to direct and to control civil society also according to the law of God. But while the church is superior to tht~ state, neither is r~bsoTbed by the oth~r; for each in its own s phere is indep~n­dent, yet, in spiritual things the '3tate is dependent U!J0ll the Chu rch.

The only time principle of govern­ment is based on the union of Church and state, a union which lmplie~ db­tinction, yet d~nies separation. Hence the rights of one are not he ld as grants from the other. As, for example, the rights of the Church are not franchises or concessions given to it by the state, but are recognized by the state as held under a higher law than its own, and therefore as rights prior to and above itself. A properly constituted govern­ment recognizes the natural and inalien­able rights of man as rights of God, and therefore sees in their independence and superiority its own subordination to the Church which is the just protec­tor of these rights. If the three fun­damental rights of man are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness , then the Church cannot be shorn of her freedom to t each her doctrines-for • liberty means liberty of conscience--or she be­comes the tool of the secular govern ­ment. Yet the dictrine of Liberalism holds that the civil law is the superior law of the land a nd if religion con­flicts with it, religion must give way. Many s upporters of this principle inter· pret it as the separation of the Church from the state; as the Liberal party in Mexico which teaches that the separa­tion of the Church from the state gives the sta te the right of authority over Ecclesiastical law. Whereas the real union of Church a nd state recognizes ! reedom o! conscience and h ence its independence ot secular control. The etate binds itself by a constitution t o protect the rights o! is citizens. Yet the most precious right is that ot con­science, the free exercise of religion. I! the Church and state, liberty and authority are t o enjoy harmonious rela· tiona one with the other, the Church and the state must form two r eally dis­tinct parts ot: one whole, distinct but not separate. This is true union, not unity of the two, but a u nion without which neithe r the liberty of the c itizens nor the a uthority or the state has any solid bas is for s upport.

Because of the lack of s u ch a union. the his tory of the w orld is r eplete with r evolutions wherein the state attempts to dominate the Church even t o the ex­t ent ot absorbing it into the power o! the ci vii a u thor! ties.

Surely we a re fortunate in having the ha ppy "little man" among our numb ers . Having fini s hed his High School studies at Spalding Institute , P eoria, in 1922, h e came to Viator as a m emb er o! the Freshman class of '25 . Wishing to

season his c lass room knowledge with practica l experien ce in the work-a-day world , h e sperit two year s, 1924 a n d 19 25 tn h onest labor. But r ecognizing the worth of a college education, L e­la nd returned to school In September,

1925 as a m e mber of the g raduating class.

During the two years that been in our midst, h e has won our r es­pect a n d friendship. "Cookie" ts tha t sort of m lld, unpretentious youth whose g lory is not in performing great and startling deeds, but in doing the small, ordinary things plea sin gly and nobly. .And we will ever r em ember him f or his many gentle ways, nor will we forget his many efforts to span the distance from the Cb emistry "lab" to the Cos­mology class In Marsile in the a lloted "five."

And when the ebony-haired graduate r eturns to his city of pre-p1·ohibltlon fame , we hope that b e will r eceive the same warm welcome which we accorded him, w e are s ure t oo, that h e will never r egret the two happy years he spent in -our midst .

Tommy immediately made his pre­sence felt, especially when there was a d1f!iculty to solve In Latin or the othe r classics. And In all class activities Tommy could be r elied upon to co· operate with his c lassmates in any a nd every p r oject.

From a knowledge of the colorful car eP.rs ot his brothers who had pre· ceded him, Jimmy enrolled at St. Via­tOr, not as a stranger, but as another one of that order of kings who are ~chclars , gentlem en and leaders o! men. Early in his student days with us he Illustrated by his actions that he would continue to carry hig h the standard set by those who had preceded him.

His philosophical temparament early (ltstingufsh ed him as one ot the out· standin g bulwa rks of de!ense and of· fense on the deba ting team. Well es· tablished and logical argu ment was his characteristic from the tlme that h e

first mounted the p la tform u...ntu_,_the time tha t he ended a s uccess!ul career. In r ecognition of h is work during h'is fir s t yea r he was made cap tain of the Debating t eam during his second year on the team. Jimmie's characte 1istics were recognized and honor ed by the students as w ell as the faculty m em · bers !or h e was h e ld in h igh esteem by t he members of the College Club during his stay with us. H e was the faithful and confiding secre tary who helped great ly in directing the club's successes of the past year. Also, h e was a m on g the first t o JJrepare t he way for the advent of the College w eekly , the Clubia n , w hich la t er proved to be the mucleus or the idea for t he present form of the Viatorian, which Jimmie edited d uring his senior year.

A s h e has been an inspira tion to u s, we sincerely hope tha t the career of his ch oice may r ecognize the gem which it r eceives and return a just portion h e s ha ll willingly g ive to it.

The cheerful and constant smlle, and the wavy luxuriou s hair which were Frank's will always keep him In our memory. His delightful conversation , his sociability, h'..<i ease and naturalness In any company have not only made him a friend to a ll our class but have won for him innumerable others.

As a graduate from St. Viator Acad· emy, and desi ring to remain In the con· genia l Viator atmosphere, Herby joined the Freshman class in '23. Our first Impressions and expectations were to see him shine as an athle te. But no, though having the weigh t. the s ize. and especially the sklll of a promising play­er on eith e r the grid-i ron, the basket· ball court or the dia mond, as we can

yjudge from his High School r ecord, yet h e did not seek th is form or glory. On the other hand, he was to s hine In the class-room. a nd pa r ticu la rl y In that of the languages. Besides winning the L at in medal, he h eld high honors in French, German, Greek a nd English. These hig h achievements were full y merited because when he studiou s ly s truggled throug h the h ot drudgery of a summer course at the University or Illinois , he r eceived honors of equal worth.

To a ll the other college act ivities, Herby gave the same interest and in· dustry.
