     Why, I know not, but 
     
     this has been the fasteSt 
     
     sbhool term in my life. 
     
     All sorts of plans to meet 
     
     more people -— and they 
     
     never materialized. I 
     
     had hoped to haunt Blan— 
     
     chard one night a week, 
     
     knocking on doors and . 
     
     scaring the hell out of 
     
     Catholics or whoever might 
     
     answer.-\It'll_take a 
     
     .New Year's resolutionto 
     
     have me try agian come 
     
     January. 
     
    

    
     'A Protestant Chaplain 
     
     inithe States aptly des- 
     
     cribed the role of a 
     
     Chaplain. The job des— 
     
     cription? "Loitering 
     
     with intent." The 
     
     "intent", of course, 
     
     is simply to meet more 
     
     students. Not,with an 
     
     eye to converting them, 
     
     counselling them or 
     
     warning them against 
     
     their sinful ways but 
     
     simply.to meet them and 
     
     come to know them onta 
     
     first name basis. That, 
     
     and somehow to do one‘s 
     
     part in‘helping skilled 
     
     loitering, this attempt 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     ,. 
     
    
   
   
    
     to do one's part in build- 
     
     ing richer community on 
     
    

    
     campus, I cannot claim « 
     
     to have mastered the skill 
     
     or to have contributed that 
     
    
   
   
    
     much to community here. 
     
     At my Mass at Christ‘ 
     
    
   
   
    
     -mas (and there was a time 
     
    
   
   
    
     when I entertained the 
     
     foolish hope that this 
     
     might be offered in a real 
     
     chapel for students here 
     
     one campus) I shall be 
     
     remembering by name as 
     
     many of the UPEI men and 
     
     women as I can possibly 
     
     call to mind, and the 
     
     rest in a general but 
     
     very real way too. My 
     
    
   
   
    
     prayer for you will be 
     
     that you might find peace 
     
     in your own heart, in your 
     
     life'and in your family. 
     
     That...and that the coming 
     
     year will see you blessed 
     
     with a deeper sense of 
     
    
   
   
    
     . meaning and purpose to 
     
    
   
   
    
     your life. - 
     
     This I wish with all my 
     
     middle—aged heart. 
     
     Merry Christmas. 2
