His body Is described as having been "elfin, s mall, light, a nd as fragile a nd te rribly n e rvou s as D e Quincey's". Being a r ath e r delicate b oy h e did not mingle In the s ports as man y of the more hardy students did, but It was hla greatest pl easure to roa m the hl11s anrl woodlands of Twyford Down. H e re tt Is said that he acq uired an incltnatlon towar d ways of solitude. Yet his warmth of affection for his friends n ever ceased. One of his most relished poems today weaves its words around thoughts of frie ndship. He associates It with his most sacr ed thoughts. It Is his note o f lonllness that r eceives the greatest emphasis, and the essence of the author's sen se of loss Is g iven in what Is to us the most beautiful passage of the poem:

"Our sincerest laug hte r With some pain is !t-au g ht"

wishes to be dissolved, and. with the jubilant bird, quite to fo rget the wo~s ot the world. His emotion, at this time , must have been akin to that Of the great Apostle, whe n h e wis h ed "to be dissolved and to be with Christ". T o him, the bird b elonged to a n other sphere where weariness a nd distress were un· known, and not to the world in which he lived. He looked upon the sublimity of nature as something apart from the rea lm of his own existe n ce. A ll who read the poem stand with K eats on the dUll and dreary earth and yearn for something capable of c h anging u s into b~ngs who can enjoy the rapturous delig h ts of nature's spirit. \ J\'e look on aQd admire with a kind of awe·strickei1 wonder, but we can not appr ecite , we cqnnot enter in to the soul that is the life of nature.

In ente r­ing the Gaelic Revival the man wrote a poem entitled "Ireland" which serveU as an e ffort t o recall a departed paRt and to e nliven deade n ed emotion s . F rom such lines as a r e found in "Vig il s ' ' and "Ire land" one can r eadily pe rce ive rthat the m a n 's previous m edi tations 'had been len gthy and profound. As someone has truthfully said these poems are like "images carved in Ivo ry" . AI · though these vrritlngs possessed only a part of J ohn son they n evertheless give indication that the m an was In perpetua l sou l angu ish . There were m a ny things of which h e failed to in ­form his r eade rs. It might a lso be m en· tton ed here that J ohn son was highly selective In his subject matter.

In his la nguage Johnson was plain in the u sage of words. H e did not love

r eader a.<:1 tn the "Slater Songs" of Fra n cis Thompson . His words might be said t o be clo thed in a pe nsive beauty, a beauty which contains nothing of t he mysterious, b ut only that wh ich Is plain and easUy discern· lble. What coulU be m or e sub1lme and at the same t ime m or e simple that the words of the first verse In "Carols"?

"Fair snow and winter wind. B e n ot unkind

To this your King! Fall soft, and murm u r mild,

About the Child: L est His first hour be suttering."

Almost instinctive ly m a ny peopl~ associate g lamor and complexity with poetry but what could be more dis tinct tha n the words quoted above; no elu­siveness can be found the r e to trouble and worry the reader. The childish w orks of a modern Edgar Gues t could n o t be m or e eviden t In their mea ning.

In order to forgo a ny misconceptions It must be stated here tha t the reader s hould n o t attem p t to gain the impres­sion that the poems of Johnson a re t o be considered great poems. Some o! them may be great but others are at the most m ediocre. In " Ireland" and "Christmas" the m an may have two las ting works , but aside from these two what will the n ext century care about Lionel Johnson? But whe ther or not these poems are lasting , on e thing is certain and that is that one w ho is far removed from fri e nds and finds him­self w rappe d in his own lonliness can ~ind solace in reading the pages of the poems that J ohnson h as given us. He leads us to a place w here the mind clears and we can see. Without em· playing unusual words o r mythical terms, be creates an atmosphere that is so comprehended by the mind as t o alleviate t hat sense of m ental s uffe ring that accom panies loneliness. He does no t concl ude with a s uggestion ; he paints the pic ture in its entirety. John· son m ay have tried to become the objective writer but in so doing he failed because in m a ny of his poems w e have J ohnson' s mind l'lnd soul unveiled before us. What could be more sub­jective tha n the followin g?

"Give m e your prayers; yo u kee p no othe r w ealth.

And therefore are the wealthiest ot my friends.

So shall you lure m e by a n holy s tea lt h

GOOD WORK BEING FOSTERED BY REV. J.P. O'MAHONEY '11 On h is r ecent trip to New Yorl;:,

Father John P. O'Mahoney had the good fortun e to f ind time to visit his n a m e-sake, R ev. J eremiah P. O'Ma­hQne~'- who Is at present located at Oriskany, N e w J.ork. F a ther JC'l·t·y , graduated from S t . Via tor fn 1911, r e­ceiving an A. B. and continued his studies toward h is M. A . .:1t this mstitu­tion. H e was ordain ed to t !.e Holy Priesthood on June 6, 1914, and since t hat time he has been e n gaged in the wo1·k of conserving the faith by foster­ing be lated vocations to the priesthood. F or this purpose h e h as secu red, wha t w as formerly the De La Salle Academ y, located at Oriskany, New York, and has consentrated his activities a t this point , the f oun dation being known as the Syracuse House ot Studies. The pro­jec t has been blessed by His Holiness, Poue Pius X I, and is under t he patron ­age of the Diocese of Syracuse. Rig h t Rev. D a niel J. Curley, D. D., Bisho p of Syrac use immedia t ely recognized the worthiness of the project and has pledged his support a nd encouragement to insure its success. The Apostolate confines its w ork to n o particular dio· cese, but appeals to young men through­out the country w ho h ave bee n deprive d of an opportunity to sj.udy and follow the call ot God. Its work of develop­m ent is carried on for the benet:lt o! -all dioceses, and s tudents have already been adopted by various dioceses in the United States. The w ork of the Ap os­tolate is given to us in a publication, "The Eleventh H our", subscriptions to this magazine a r e now b e ing mailed out fo r one dollar. In it w111 be r ecorded the progress of young priests and the Sy racuse House of Studies. Throug h it w e shall be able to follow t h e s u ccess ot a form er student ot Via t or, who h as con secrated himself to God in the priesthood, a nd who as a priest is now diligently strivin g to will the ranks to which he be longs so t ha t the t eachings of the M aster m ay come to all those who awai t it.

We are g lad to learn that Harry "Zip" K elle r, A cad.

pened t hat a candidate for the team was burt that day, and Jimmy sneaked in to the dressing room, donned the idle t ogs, and u nder the disguise or. the large shoulder pa ds and head gear made his "unwelcome" apearance before "Czar'' Crangle. Dalrymple's fighting spirit was at its peak: h e was fighting !or a place in the athletic sun and he showed it in every move that l~e made. His work was nothing short of sensa­tional; Crangle loved a hard vicious ~ckle,, a speedy runner, and a sure catch on punts-and Jimmy was all

these. The coach warmed to him, and carefull y groomed him through the sea­eon , taking special care not to permit

and on'3 thing-,; that has endeared h im to us; we 'il r-emember him for the calm, unaffecterl, J"E:;strained emotion he dis· played when n?.ws reached him that Walter Eckcrsaa had chosen him for a p lace ot h·)nor on his All-WesteJ"n Football Team. A greater honor t han that no man can strive to earn on the American Field o! Honor. Jimmy cnn well put away his deated shoes and fhe battle scarred moleskins with a feeling that he "did ':lis })(>st for Yiator". H e had. to fight his way to the top.

Hartn ett, Halfback. Ray Hartn ett, the "Nebraska" mi­

grant, wound up his college footb all career with a brilliant 65-yard run in the Millikin game that paved the way for Viator's only touchdown . The in­def inable something that pre~Jented R ay from making the touchdown is that same inexplicable reason why h e misse:.l gaini.ng a monogram this year. He was ~w1tched from his favorite position =-tt end t o the back!ield, not because he was b~'tter fi t ted ! or t hat job, but becaus~ he wa.q mor e valuable to the team in that position. It is a great tribute to B.ay to say that h e never murmured eYen the slightes t sylable of discontent with his lot; be knew that Sam apre· ciated ·his talents, and was satisfied tO wait upon opportunity. Daily, week­ly he waited in patience, as did many others of his b uddies, but opportunity didn't even beck on. It took Dalrymple , our All -Western honor man, and D e· laney, his runlng m ate, to keep Ray on the bench; there's much glory in run­ning second to such good men as these. Ray proved his mettle in winning a monogram two years ago; we and his legion ot frien ds hope that a better "break" is awaiting h im in the com­mercial world. Well done, Ray; let W 3

hope that your splendJd deportment in the world of athletics w ill carry t h rough wh~:>rever you go.

three a nd four year's campaigning. When they held Bradley four tfmes on the one yard line, and h eld them score­less for the entire first half, some ink· ling ot. the great work that was done with t h e mater ial on hand can be gained. The lads fought tooth and nail :til the way, and when the battle was hopelessly lost they seemed to fight hardest. Viator was outclassed in t he matter of brawn but never eq ualled in s pirit .

Then, too, the 1927 team will have Tohn "Hooks" o·Malley a t center. Hooks has been in there for two years; he should cash in n ext yea r. Hi5! VPt··

satility is best understood when it is known that he was s hifted from his natural position at end to center, where he played every minute of every game, never having had time called out :for injury, or other reason. His passing equalled the great Pfeffer 's work o! t he tour previous years; his grit and deter­mination was on a par with his general efficiency as on e of the most valuable and most m portant units of the, team. Amby Rascher, will be his understudy next year: what a whale o! a: lineman he promises to be. Just now Amby 1s fighting a severe illn ess; his recovery is awaited by every student in the sCh ooL

Only one who has been close to the practice scrimmages, nnd who has seen the second string perfonn when given a n oportupnity to exbiblt their ta lents, can apreciate the world of talent that will respond to the clarion call for candidates next Fall. The Bradley "Jinx", so ca1led, w111 be broken next year or never. And what a gorious opportunity to bring fame to St. Viator should we emerge victorious. Bradley is travelling in fast company when in receves 1n ivtations to appear on the Illinois schedule; and perhaps on the Coe college Ust as well. A Viator vic­tory on October 29 over Bradley wil1 !lash the name of St. Viator across every sport page in the country. Here 's the best wishes o! a confirmed optimist who writes his farewell football theme on this page.

Word comes to us from the Rev. M. J. Breen, c. s. v., of Enterprise, Oregon, to the effect tha t he is some-

Thomas "Red'' Dunn, who was des~ tJned a t one time to be a member o! the class of '27, writes t hat he enjoyed the Lomba rd wri teup and reca1ls to at­tenlion the great work of Vince Me· earthy, who shares the honors with Dalrymple for Al l-Western mention as a Viator athlete, as having dashed through the entire Lombard team for a touchdown. The present staff of the Vlatorian has two m embers who remem­ber the great work of McCarthy, anu suggest that mention of his feat in the columns with the hope of uncovering some other famous athle tes who have gone on. It is not our intention of competing with Harvey Woodru!f, but it might not be amiss to carry an item now and again that will r evive old memories. So, we invtte the old timers to send along a name and a short "l.C·

count of the best play made by that Individual and we'll WAKE up t he heroes of another day.
