FATHER p~ -MALONE 25 YEARS. I_N J.ME SOCIETY OF JESUS
Very Rev: Patrick G. Malone, SJ, 13th rector of Loyola Col~~ge, this summer celebrates the 25th anniversary 6f his entry i~to the SocietY. of Jesus.
These 25 years span a remarkable career .in· both cl~11ical aµd secul~r activities and have established him as one of the leading English - speaking Jesuits· · in Canada as well as one of the foremost economists,. educators and university adininistrato'rs.
Prior to his ·appointment to fue present post t~o y~ars:_ago, F,at~er Malone was president of Saint Mary's University in ~alifax. He was the youngest university head in Canada when named to the presidency in 1956 . . ·
· Born in 1918 in Belfast, Ndrthern Ireland, he received his early education in Toronto, where his
Father Malone entered the So-11
ciety at Guelph; Ont. , on Sept. 7, 1936 and was ordained at Toronto's 'Jesuit Seminary i~ 1949 by His Emin~nce James Cardinal MacGuigan .
. Following his novitiate and two years · of classical studi-es at St. Ignatius College, Guelph, Father Malone completed three years of study lead1.ng to the Licentia.t~. in .. P~losophy .in 1943.
He then eompleted· two years of graduate work in economics at the University of Toronto, obtaining a Master's "degree with specialization in labour economics. His thesis dealt with labour organizatlon 10 French Canada.
In 1945 Loyola's future rector came ·here as an instructor in economics. The following year he began four years of study leading to the Licentiate in Sacred Theology at the Jesuit Seminary i;Il . . Toronto, . and in 1950 undertook : .. a year of ascetical theology at Namm'., Belgi4m.
He later did further graduate wo·rk in economics at Fordham University in New York City.

economics at Saint Mary's University from 1951 to 1956, when he was named president of that institution.
While president of Saint Mary's, he also served as chairman of the Board of Governors of the Atlantic Summer School of Business Administration, as a member of the Board of Governors of the Nova Scotia Technical College, of the Board of Trustees of the Maritime School of Social Work, of the Board of Governors of the Halifax School of Journalism, and as a member of several other civic, cultural and educational organizations and learned societies.
In summer of 1959 he was the Canadian co-director of the World University Service International Seminar at the University College of the West Indies, Jamaica.
Prior to that, Father Malone attended the Carnegie Foundation's Institute for College Presidents at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass., where he was the only Canadian among presidents from 35 American universities.
As Loyola's rector, Father Malone is the head of the numerically largest and academically most versatile institution among the many English and French Jesuit - operated institutions of
-3
higher 1.earning in this country.
He has some very definite ideas on Loyola's role in education.
"It is not a matter of machinery and buildings," he says, "but philosophy of education and staff dedication that makes a college first rate."
He believes that Loyola must always insist on quality and must always strive for the best.
"Education is a preparation for life," says Father Malone, "and a well educated man should have a solid background in the arts and the sciences."
Under his rectorship Loyola keeps abreast of the latest scientific developments, but without neglecting its traclitional strength in the arts and humanities.
The rector has a most ambitious plan for Loyola's future:
During the ten-year development program begun in 1959, some $12,000,000 will have been spent on expansion. This will give Loyola - in addition to the new science block with amphitheatre and science library, which are due for completion this fall - new engineering building, women's college, library, chapel, gymna-

LOYOLA ALUMNUS JUST BACK FROM AFRICA SAYS SOVIET BLOC TECHNICl,ANS INFILTRATE GUINEA BUT FAl'l IN TAKING OVER THE NEW REPUBLIC
Andre Gilbert, B.Sc. '52, who recently returned to Montreal from the Republic of Guinea, says that Soviet bloc nations have provided as many as 2,000 technicians and advisors for the former French colony, but they have not succeeded in taking over the country.
Andre, a specialist in highly advanced communication systems, who studied electrical engineering at Loyola, spent five months assisting the Guinean Defence Ministry establish a country-wide communications network.
He said that when he went to the West African country, which is often considered the most communist-oriented of the newly independent African states, he was
Defence Ministry with access to its secrets. At the end of two months he was ordered out of the country.
The expulsion order was later rescinded and when his assignment was finished, Guinea refused to permit him to leave unless his employers sent out another French-speaking engineer. He waited a month while a Belgian engineer willing to take his place was located.
"After they decided I could stay, there was no more suspicion - they were very friendly and pleasant, almost too friendly," Andre said.
He believes that his presence in the country was unwelcome to the East-bloc people working there and that they may have pressed for his expulsion.

"The eastern bloc advisers do no t run Guinea - Guineans run Guinea," he emphasized. "They deserve admiration for the way they have attacked their . problems."
He said the food supply, a serious problem soon after the country achievei;l independence, has been improved and unemployment, also serious for a time, is being attacked.

WORK ON CHARTER, FINANCING COLLEGE EXPANSION
SCHOLARSHIPS AND STUDENT LOAN FUND - REMAIN
NEW PRESIDENT'S PROGRAMME FOR THE ASSOCIATION
Dr. R. Brodrick's Acceptance Speech
When the Chairman of the Nominating Committee asked me to
stand for nomination, I gave the decision careful thought. Partly
because I recognize the growing
demands in time the office of the
President is making, but mainly
because I have found myself perplexed and unhappy that, in spite
of the tremendous efforts made by previous executives over many
years, we have failed to mobilize
the full strength of our alumni.
In considering this decision
many questions presented them
selves. Is the Alumni Association
really necessary? If so what are its aims? What is its purpose?
Why does it exist?
It seemed there were the same
tions. As I see it, the essential
reasons for the existence of an
alumni association are twofold: Firstly, to offer an opportunity
for the graduates of that school to
continue to serve their Alma
Mater; and secondly, to afford the Alma Mater an opportunity to
continue to serve their graduates in the broad field of life-long edu
cation. It is a reciprocal relation
ship.
Social activities, reunions, where we revive old friendships, relive happier times and enjoy a little nostalgia, are all good things and should be an important part of the activities of any alumni group. But they are not the essentials -they should be the extras - the fringe benefits as it were. An alumni association held together solely on the basis of social activities and the flimsy thread of nostalgia has little hope for long ra_nge influence or long range
two answers to all these ques- survival. -8-
I feel that our Association has
relied too long on this one phase of alumni activities, that we have
too long been concerned with the
social trimmings and have not
directed our efforts sufficiently
towards what I consider the two
main purposes for our existence,
that is, to serve our College and
in turn to have our own needs
served by the College. In other
words we have not sufficiently
identified the more mature moti
vations of our alumni.
How are we going to achieve these goals in the future? How are we going to mobilize our ever expanding potential and widen our dimensions into a greater and more generous alumni partnership?
New and more imaginative programs must be launched. We must seek out young leadership in continuing and developing these new programs. I wonder how many of you have thought that with the tremendous recent increase in our enrollment in the past few years that the mean age of our alumni has decreased considerably and will do so even more in the future. We must establish closer liaison with the graduating class and with the young graduates than we
have done in the past. For instance, we might consider some liaison between the Alumni Association and the Student Placement Bureau.
Growth in the number of our alumni poses problems in communications. A few phone calls -though still the best m ethod -no longer seem to be able to round up all our alumni. We must give thought to new techniques in methods of contacting our members. A committee to investigate our programs of activities has suggested the re-establishment of the Ladies Auxiliary with perhaps this thought in mind. Most certainly our Alumni office will need ever increasing strength.
A stronger development programme must be established. If we are to make our maximum contribution . to the College it must be in a very tangible way, that is, we must be in the position, to help finance the ever-growing expansion of Loyola. Along the same lines we must broaden our assistance to worthy students and continue to support our Scholarship and Student Loan Funds.
We have not explored the possibilities in the field of continuing alumni education. I would like to

CATHOLIC CHURCH ACCEPTS CONTROLS TO OPERATE IN COMMUNIST COUNTRIES
BUT WON'T COMPROMISE ON PRINCIPLE CANAD·IAN PRESS INTERVIEW
WITH TWO LOYOLA PROF(SSORS GETS
WORLD-WIDE PUBLICITY
1 recent Cattadian Press interview by its Montreal staff writer, lla11 D nckett, with Loyola Col
lege's Rev. J,,,;onel Stanford, SJ, and R ev. Hugh Jl!acl(iwnon, SJ, has bern carried by newspapers from cua::;f Io cocbst in this comitry, ,in the United States and across the world.
Father Stanford, a 1929 Loyola graduate and holder of a Licentiate in Sacred Theology, is professor of theology here cind is well known to .the alwmwi as the former moderator of the Loyolci Altrmini As ociation. Father MacKinnon, who received a doctorate (D.Phil.) from 0 :rford two years ago, is chairma,n of the Devartrnent of History at the college. This sttrnnier he is making a, stticly of ·ined1:rval penitential literature at the Bodleian Library of the University of Oxford tinder a vost-doctoral Canada Coiincil Grant.
The Roman Catholic church usually finds it in its interests to co-operate with the state in communist-dominated countries and in situations such as that now developing in Cuba, Father Stanford told Canadian Press during the interview.
"But" he added, "the church
will never compromise on prin
ciple."
Father Stanford discussed the situation in communist-dominated countries where the church is still functioning, although on a restricted basis. He said the same potential situation appears to exist in Cuba.
CONTROLLED PRIESTHOOD
Asked to explain what is meant by "controlled priesthood," he said:
"It is in the interests of the
church to make the best of a bad
situation. It is better to have
priests under government control
in certain situations than to have
B ecause of the timeliness and serio1tsness of the sttbject, we present the highlights of the interV'iew here. no priests at all."
-10-
He went on to say that controlled priesthood existed in many countries.
"In Mexico, for example, priests are not allowed to appear on the streets in clerical garb nor are they permitted to hang crucifixes in public places.
"Of course, this does not involve a compromise of principle. Priests are still allowed to fulfil the duties of their ministry," he pointed out.
NO SET RULES
Father Stanford pointed out that there was no defined Catholic doctrine for controlled priesthood. The church always tried to make the best arrangement it could with any government so that it could continue its work.
"The post-communion from the Mass of a Pope asks the Lord 'to guide Thy church which Thou hast nourished with heavenly food, so that under Thy mighty sway she may ever enjoy freedom and remain steadfast in the fulness of her faith'.
"However, rather than deprive the people of a state of all ministrations of the clergy, she may tolerate some curtailment of her freedom"
RESTRICTION OF FREEDOM
"\Vhen we speak of 'controlled clergy'," Father Stanford continued, "we have in mind a restrictio~ of the freedom of the church in the performance of its ministry. But freedom, valuable and necessary as it is for human existence, is not an end in itself.
"Freedom always is concerned with choice, and choice is of the means, not the end as such . . . And bringing souls to God is more important than freedom of the clergy, though the latter is normally necessary for the former, just as medicine is often necessary for the maintenance of good health.
"But just as a sick man in prison will settle for half the amount of medicine he should have, instead of none at all, so, under a dictatorship, the church may settle for half the freedom her priests should have if the only alternative is total exclusion from the country . . .
"If the price of being permitted to exist in any country is compromise in faith or morals, however, it is too high and the church will never pay it," Father Stanford emphasized.

LOYOLA COLLEGE'S OWN "PEACE CORPS" ACTIVE IN MONTREAL . DURING WINTER,

ENGAGED IN FREE WORK
AMONG LESS FORTUNATE
Loyola College's "Peace Corps" - which has been in operation for a number of years prior to the establishment of President Kennedy's Peace Corps and the Canadian Overseas Volunteers -takes no holidays in its yearround drive to help the less fortunate.
,vhile most students in their late teens and early twenties are vacationing or working to earn tuition fees, 10 of the students in the college's social welfare movement donate their holidays to working with delinquent teenagers in trouble spots across the continent.
Still more give their spare time during the summer months to maintaining the college's program of good works in Montreal. They visit mental patients at Verdun Protestant Hospital, help poor
families keep a household together or act as "big brothers" to mentally retarded children,
WORK IN THE USA
Four students from Loyola are spending the summer helping social workers deal with an explosive teenage situation in El Paso, Texas. Other Loyola boys are working at a fresh air camp in New York state for youths of all nationalities from the lower East Side ( otherwise known as Hell's Kitchen) of New York City.
The success of the Loyola students who helped fight teenage gang warfare in the same section of New York last summer can be seen in the request from social workers for more volunteers to staff the upstate camp for Manhattan youth.

Plans are under way to hold a Loyola. Alumni 'At Home' on October 28th.
Ralph Bourassa and his committee are now busy working out the final details but the general outline of the day and evening will run as follows: During the morning alumni and parents of -students will be invited to the cor~erstone laying ceremonies of .· the new science bloc, followed by a student-guided tour of the buildings and a sherry party later. During the afternoon there will be a football game at Trenholme Park. That evening there will be a dinner dance in the Champlain Room at the Mount Royal Hotel with music by the Peter Barry Orchestra. Senior and Junior students will also be invited to this dance. It is anticipated that many of the alumni will organize pre-party cocktail parties and that they will co-operate with the committee by inviting two or three student couples to their homes to meet a few alumni couples and thereby help them get to know some of their future confreres.
Full details of this 'At Home' will be mailed ot all alumni on our mailing list at a later date.

Coinciding with this increase in facilities, Fathel' Malone expects that the college's phenomenal growth - 300 per cent in the last five years - will continue.

CUBAN DECREE
Fidel Castro May 1 forecast a Cuban government decree cancelling the residence permits of foreign priests - most of them Spanish, but including at least 100 Canadians. Early in May, 61 Canadian priests and nuns were flown back to Canada.
Father MacKinnon pointed out that the church since medieval times has haci to reach agreement w.ith various states.
He mentioned the Concordat of Worms in 1122, the Constitution of Clarendon in 1164, the Concordat of 1515 with France, the Concordat of 1801 between Napoleon and Pope Pius VII, the Concordat with Spain in 1851, the 1855 Concordat with Austria, the Lateran Pact in 1929 with Italy, and the

POLISH EXAMPLE He cited the present situation in
Communist Poland as an example of controlled priesthood.
In the mid-1950s Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski made what Father MacKinnon described as a "sort of gentleman's agreement" with Communist Premier Gomulka, under which the church would not oppose communist candidates in an election at that time.
In return, Father MacKinnon _pointed out, Gomulka promised the church freedom in episcopal elections and the right to have religious teaching.

951, are leaving shortly to do social work in poor sections of Alabama and the West Indies.
Yet another type of volunteer work was entered into last summer when Loyola students, along with a contingent of volunteer workers from Pius X High School in Montreal, helped build schools in a lonely area of British Columbia 500 miles north of Vancouver.
The "Peace Corps" is a movement for social work springing from the' general student body of the college, but is spearheaded by the Loyola Sodality, traditional leader , of charitable activities in both Loyola College and Loyola High School.
EVERY SEVENTH STUDENT
The drive now numbers one of every seven students at the college, and will increase in scope next year, when the Student Admii:iistrative Council of Loyola College officially endorses and finances the movement.
The added money is important, as the student ·leaders find·· the only limit to their 'activity .. is ·financial - students are only too willing to give tpeir tim.e to "works of mercy."
The .major activity of the students doing social work in Montreal this summer is .Providing what psychologists call "recreational therapy" for m e n t a 1 patients at Verdun Protestant Hospital.
CHESS AND TALK
Every Wednesday night students play chess, cards, or bingo - or just talk with 95 patients in a closed, ward at the hospital. Some weeks, as part of their program of social activities, the Loyola boys take on the'·patients in a baseball game.
As with all of the "Peace Corps" activities, students find the work at the Verdun hospital has .great rewar(ls, but demands resourcefulness and maturity. · .

CLASS OF '29 REUNION
On Friday, June 23rd, Pat Nolan and his charming wife Kay, were hosts at an informal gathering of the Class of 1929.
Present were Harold Quinn, who came down from Toronto for the occasion, Ed Seeney, Ed LaPierre, Phil McComber, Hullet Desbarats, Jack Hart, Jim Walsh, and Fathers George Foley, Gerald Brit, Michael Healy, John Ryan and Lionel Stanford.
The Nolan home, according to Father Stanford, lent itself admirably to this reunion and many memories were recalled, among them that of 'Missus' Hannibal in Spain.
So pleasant was the evening that those present hope another get-together will be held next year.
