A state-wide prize essay contest is now being promoted by
the Texas Knights of Columbus Historical commission, with a
purpose of encouraging the study of Catholic history by young
people of Texas.
Under the circumstances, it becomes very important that
students of St. Edward’s take an interest in that work. Their
school is a direct result of the padres’ colonizing work a couple o:
centuries ago. And with all the material of the commission a'
hand, the gleaming of that knowledge is made comparatively easy.
But so long have the romantic facts concerning the early
padres’ work in the development of the Southwest remained in
obscurity that there seemingly is little revival of interest in it.
Students, and especially Catholic students, should be better
informed on this subject so that they will be better able to meet
the onslaughts of the widespread ignorance and bigotry so preva-
lent in the country today.
Only a short time ago there was a remark in a Texas news-
paper to the effect that Catholics had done nothing in the Texas
war for independence. Probably many a Catholic read those
lines and accepted them as true.
Such conditions are deplorable. Considering the great work
done by the early missionaries, every Catholic should be as prouc
to know of them as he is of his own immediate ancestry. All the
rest of American history furnishes no more color or romance.

Prospects for a winning football'
team next year ' were dimmed con-
siderably when it was learned that
Odell Wainscott, all-conference
tackle, had accepted a position with
oil company and would not re-
“Swede” is one of
that has ever been
developed under the tutelage of Jack
Meagher, and it will take a good man
to fill the gap left open by the with-
drawal of Odell.
“Swede” was very popular with
the students and the faculty and he
will be missed greatly.
The recent organization of the San Antonio Mothers’ club is
another definite step in St. Edward’s progress. This club has for
its purpose the promoting of St. Edward’s interest in that city,
and from its present pace of activity promises to become very
influential.
More clubs of that nature should be organized. There is
plently of interest in St. Edward’s throughout the state but not
enough organization.
That old time and popular maxim, “In union there is
strength,” is as good a one to follow in this line as it is in any other
cause. To work in an effective way, system is needed, and the
best means of obtaining system, is a club that works harmon-
iously. ...
These mothers realize that Sun Antonio is literally running
over with prospective college students who should have a Catholic
foundation to meet their future needs. When they advise those
prospects to go to St. Edward’s they are doing a service to both
the school and the men.
The same is true for every city in Texas. Everywhere there
are students who should be given a chance in some Catholic insti-
tution, and in the majority of cases the students lack only the
proper encouragement.
The work of the Houston St. Edward’s club, organized some
time ago among alumni of that city, is a good example of what
can be done with only a small amount of effort. It has worked in
a systematic way to send several students to St. Edwards. It
entertained the Saints when they went to Houston for a game
with the Rice Owls. It has provided several interesting get-
together programs for its members.
When such organizations are spread throughout the state we
can safely say that St. Edward’s will come into the limelight as
if by magic. Its progress in scholastic and intercollegiate activ-
ities warrant its already being known as a greater St. Edward’s.
It remains for outside friends to see that the enrollment grows
proportionately.

Probably the
most active man
on the campus is
Joseph A. Klein,
of Plantersville,
Texas, who is a
candidate for a
B. B. A. degree
next June. Be-
cause of his ac- _
tivity he is popu-
larly known as
the business man of the senior class
and in recognition of his ability he
was chosen business manager of the
Tower of 19 29.
Besides his business activities, Joe
has been a leader during his college
career in the business administration
classes. Being intensely interested
in the business field he has natural-
ly set the pace in classes related to
that subject. He was one of the
charter members of the St. Edward’s
Chamber of Commerce that was ac-
tive two years ago.
Though always a busy man, Klein
has found time for athletics and sev-
eral extra-curricular activities. He
was a member of the football squad
for four years and was a letter man
three times. He was on the basket-
ball and baseball squads for three
years. He was well on the way to a ■
letter in basketball when he was
stricken with an acute attack of ap-
pendicitis, three years ago.
Klein is a member of the Mono-
gram club and for two years belong-
ed to the Neo-Scholastic society. At
the present time he is recording sec-
retary of the Knights of Columbus.

(Continued from page 1)
the opinion of those qualified to de-
termine, shall have done meritorious
work in the field of study or re-
search, or who have contributed to
the world’s . knowledge or welfare.
The president and vice-president of
the college having a chapter, deans
of the various colleges or heads of
the departments, and all members
of the faculty holding doctor’s de-
grees are ipso facto members of the
society. Other faculty and student
members may be elected by them.
Graduates who have distinguished
themselves since graduation, or who
distinguished themselves during their
undergraduate courses, are also eligi-
ble for membership.
The local chapters have two orders
of membership, junior and senior.
A junior is considered one who has
one-half the work required for a
degree, and a senior one who has
done three-quarters of the work re-
quired for a degree. Essentials for
membership are good character and
reputation, and an average of not
less than eighty-five in the entire
course.
Election of students to the Alpha
chapter—the St. Edward’s chapter—
will begin after the mid-term exami-
nations, Dr. Quinn said. It is
thought that after that time the local
chapter will be well under way.
Other colleges over the country
have shown an interest in the new
organization and as soon as several
chapters are organized a convention
will be held and a national organiza-
tion formed. The constitution and
all the details of organization have
already been carefully worked out.
The motto of the Adelphoimath-
ians is “O Sophos Ton Kosmon Ar-
chei,” which means, “The Thinker
Rules the World.”
The close of this
scholastic year
will terminate!
the university ca-
reer of Thomas
Kilday, one of
the sturdiest and “
most consistent "
athletes ever de-
veloped at St.
Edward’s. “Tom-
my,” as he is
known by his many friends, entered ,
St. Edward’s as a graduate of St.
Mary’s academy of San Antonio in
1925.
“Tommy” lettered at the fullback .
position for four consecutive years
and made the T. I. A. A. conference
team in 19 2 6. For the past three
years he has received honorable men-
tion as fullback on the all-Texas con-
ference team. This year hd played
in the Shriner’s benefit game at Fort
Worth and starred. In 1926 he also
earned a monogram in baseball.
Beside being a prominent athlete,
Kilday has been active in many cam- .
pus organizations. He is a member
of the Neo-Scholastic society, secre-
tary of the monogram club, and a
member of the Knights of Columbus.
Kilday is a candidate for an A. B'.
degree and is majoring in English.
He plans to study law after his grad-
uation.

With the Saints’ present success in their basketball schedule,
congratulations and new encouragement become appropriate. As
this is being written, they tied for second place in conference
standing.
Lately their strength was very well shown when they cap-
tured two out of three games on a trip to Abilene and Brownwood. ■
The day before they left they gave a very good acccount of
themselves in a tilt with the Texas Longhorns, who hold second
place in the Southwestern conference.
Having but a fraction of the Steers’ reserve strength, the
handfull of Saints battled through the second half on a par with
their recognized superiors. True, they lost the game, but in
such a way as to convince every loyal St. Edward’s man they are
worthy of the most enthusiastic support.
Of course, those who give their support will be guilty of a
breach of what has become a custom in the South—the total dis-
regard for basketball. Southerners can well take example from
our eastern and northern universities. Only a few weeks ago
Notre Dame played at Philadelphia before a crowd of eleven
thousand spectators; the average football game in Texas does not
draw a greater crowd.
Also there is the cheering. In other places organized pep
squads cheer their teams. Down here all the cheering is com-
posed of a few scattered yelps from the sidelines.
If we cannot equal northern institutions in record breaking
crowds, we can at least cheer our team as they do—and we can
furthermore turn out a large precentage of our members for the
games. The spirit must begin at home if it is to be spread to
outside friends.
It is a deplorable fact that spirit at St. Edward’s dies with
the last football game. Some even do not go so far as to inquire
whether or not the team won its last game. They seem to re-
gard basketball merely as something to fill the gap between foot-
ball and baseball seasons. That attitude may be a natural result
of the high pitch of enthusiasm through the grid season. At
least, such, it seems, is the case at St. Edward’s. And judging
from the amount of newspaper comment most institutions and
the general public as well are alike in that regard.
But that is all the more to the advantage of the school that
will take a greater interest. Why should it not be St. Edward s ?
If the students will snap out of the trance now they can get the
jump on other institutions. The support will be all the more
effective because it is unusual. And it will give the Saints new
courage and new vigor in working for that pennant.
