THE PASSING OF A MAN Father Marsile is dead. With the passing of this

venerable patriarch the Clerics of Saint Viator sustained a loss which they can never hope to repair. The sur­passing beauty of his life has long stood as an inspiration for all who have felt its silent, quiet power. During the last years of his long and fruitful period, when t ime had d spoiled him of the t rength and spirit of yo uth, leaving him broken in health, begirt with the infirmity of old age, his Catholic faith remained as steady and unwaver­ing as it had been when, as a young child, he knelt at the table of the Lord to receive His Body for the first time. The sight of him in the chapel, in silent communion with his Creator, has fired many an adolescent soul ; indeed, his saluta ry example has wro ught mo1·e good than have a dozen enthusiastic priests expatiating in the classroom on Christian doctrine. We are told that Saint Therese, chiefly through prayer and example, worked the salva­tion of countless souls, though she never moved beyond the limits of the cloister. Example, the most persuasive of teach ers, was the gentle, unobstrusive inoculating of Father Marsile. Nor will the memory of his edifying life be soon fo rgotten. The soul of Father Marsile has passed ; his weary body lies at rest in its grave, but his pirit r emains and endures, to spm a faltering soul on to

its eternal destiny. I begin to doubt the efficacy of my words. A certain

Bishop, in removing the custom of funeral eulogies from his diocese, declared that those souls who walk in the ways of God do not need their virtues extolled, while those who li ve apathetic to Christian morality do not deserve a panegyric. There is certainly just ification for the Bis­hop's position. Those who have seen Father Marsile fingering his beads before the image of Our Lady need not be r eminded of his saintly ways, while those whom his infl uence has no t reached will be left with an inadequate concept of him by these lines.

We do not mourn the passing of Father Marsile, Rather, we rejoice in the glory that is now his. His death was an awakening- an awakening to life immortal, for is not ea r thly life "but a sleep and a forgotten?" in a little volume of Father Marsile's poetry we find :

"Mourir est moins triste que vivre Aux jours de desolation. C'e t ainsi aue Dieu no us elivre :

II est Ia vie, il est Ia resurrection!" Mourning and lamentation is born of selfishness, and

is spent more properly on tragedy. Father Marsile pass­ed his long and happy life in the faithful service of the God Who crea ted him, and peacefully and beautifully, in the odor of sanctity, he died. His life was a shining suc­cess. vVha t in that is tragedy? Rather, what thoughts for a beautiful romance his life furnishes!

Father l\Iarsile, we bid yo u farewelL We, your boys, shall ever cherish in our hearts the light, radiant and efful~ent, of the fa ith you held so dear. We are fully cognizant of the task that lies charted before us, a task exte.nuated h · your good example. As \\·e loved you in life. so now we honor your memory. May every felicity of Heaven be yours. May every glory of triumph be ours.

The sobs of care forgot And t errene music ceased.

Now angelic symphonies Make g lad your heart, 0 Pries t !

No more your gentle bands \Vill ills of li fe caress

Or g u ide man's e rring feet, Or extended be to bless ;

But peacefully they lie Beneat h U1e shrouding sod,

Your journeying is o'er The pilgrimage is done.

Your zealous heart is s tilled, The heart that kenw th e g low

Congratulations and thanks to the members of the Freshmen Class who so efficiently cover ed this page in the last Issue of the VIATORIAN. But don't take my words of pre.lse to tteart. Not that the work was very

The entire student body looks for­ward wi t h keen interest t o the ap­proaching battle between Max Marek and the Golden Glove's winner from New York City, in the 175 pound class. The fight will t ake p lace next Wednesday evening in Chicago, and the .campus fight fans hope to see Max come back, "Champion" in his class. In a ll of his prelimin ary bouts fought some weeks back, his victor­ies were very decisive. In the short time that Ma.x has been here, he has already gained the favor and ad­miration of the entire student body.

IN BEHALF OF PRE-HISTORY BY

before our eyes. Until r ecent years, His tory has concern ed Itself with the advancement and development of the 'Va.rlous peoples, of whom, a t least, there is som e remnanat left fo r s tudy and comparison. I n the last fifty years , however, a new fi eld has com e into prominence ,namely, Pre-His tory or the s tudy of th e human race before th e dawn of Hi story materially in­flu enced Its intell ec tual develop­m ent. It bas gone far back to that stage tn which th e human race d e­pended for its maintenance more up­on physical force than intellectual capaci ty. Consequently, as th ese peopl es devot ed a ll their powers to a hig h er muscular development r a th­er than an intellectua l developm ent, th ey have left to us, their pos teri ty, no written r ecords; no monuments by which w e might have at l east l earned their names.

In itself Prehis tory is a science that r equires a great deal of research . For by this means alone can we hope to w rest a clarified account of ou r an· cestors from the unintelligibl e r ec­ords and annals, that, to the unin­i liated are mere scrat ches and marks upon th e walls of torgotten caverns and subterranean passages.
