Next Monday evening, November 6, James J. Walsh, M. D., Ph. D., Dean of the faculty of Medicine, Fordham University, New York, will deliver a lecture on The Church and Science in the' college auditorium at 7:30 o’clock. Dr. Walsh has a national reputation as a lecturer, and has medico-historical works have attracted not a little attention abroad. This is the first of a series of lectures to be given at the college during this year; and it is certain that an instructive entertainment is in store for all who will come to hear Dr r Walsh. Rev. Augustine Seifert, C. PP. S., President of St. Joseph’s College, will be absent from the institution for some time,, having been sent on an official mission to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Los Angeles, California. The A. L. S. held their meeting, rendered their regular pro-: gram Sunday evening. A number of interesting recitations were spoken, displaying marked dramatic talent among the juniors.

On the feast day of All Saints Rev. B. M. ■ Koester was the celebrant of the high mass, and he also preached a sermon appropriate to the occasion. Some of the rowdy lads persisted, in spite of strong and timely warning, to play some undesirable Hollowe’en pranks. The extra and severe tasks imposed upon them on Wednesday while the other students enjoyed the free day will, no doubt, help them to see into the foolishness of tn'eir ways in folowing such old heathen custoYns to the detriment of their neighbors. The C. L. S. held Xheir regular meeting last Sunday morning. The only business of note was the adoption of a play to be rendered on Thanksgiving evening, and also the assigning of the parts to the actors. The play is classical, and treats of the time of Louis XI of France. “In the Fool’s Bauble” is the happy title, and with the best talent participating it promises to be a high class theatrical production.

Next Sunday afternoon the S J. C. Juniors will play the Lincoln Juniors, Chicago, a game of football on the college grounds. An interesting and fast game is promised. The Athletic Association is making the immediate preparations for the opening of the basket ball season. The election of a general manager will be held next Sunday. The prospects for a strong quinteete are very favorable. We entertained the following visitors during the week: Frank W. Sawar, Muncie; Mrs. J. McGahey and daughter Marguerite, Marion; Joseph Sindelar, North Judson; Jacob Holtz, Huntington; Frank Zeller, Hammond; Mr. and. Mrs. M. J. Cyr, Mrs. J. Sumesac, Miss Stella and 1 Adelor Sumesac, Fowler; Mr. and Mrs. J. F. O’Malley, Chicago; Wm. Granger; Logansport.
