Alternate delegates named at the Provincial Chapter meeting were the R ev. Daniel A. O'Connor, C. S. V., principal at Cathedral High School of Springfield, Ill. , the Rev. William J. Cracknell, C. S. V., regis-trar of the College, and Brother Ed-ward J. Mc.ljjachen, C. S. V ., Fou r-nier Instit ute of Lemont, Ill.

The General Chapter in addition to the discussion of many legisla-tive questions, will a lso elect a Sup-erior General and Vicar of the Com-muni ty to suc-ceed the present Superior Gener-al, the Very Rev. F. M. Roberge, C. S . V., who has signified his de-sire to retire be-cause of ill health. Father Roberge former-ly was president Bro. C. Gedwell of Joliet t e Seminary in Canada.

Father Roberge, the present Sup-erior General, has met with marvel-ous executive ability many grave problems g rowing out of the condi-tion in Spain where many hous es of the Clerics of St. Viator are located. Under the oppressive bur-den of these world wide problems he feels the weight of his three scor e and ten years. The str ain of ctirecting a religious com munity under s uch circumstances has under mined his health to such an extent that he calls for a younger man to succeed him.
