| 15 Sep 1944, Chronology of Events Related to Stanley Civilian Internment Camp Posted: 25 Dec 2012 12:01 AM PST Book / Document: Date(s) of events described: Fri, 15 Sep 1944 Seminarian Bernard Tohill of the St. Louis Industrial School begins studies in Moral and Dogmatic Theology at the Jesuit Wah Yan College in Robinson Rd. He needs to take these courses if he is to become a priest, and the war's already delayed them by a year. He begins his day by taking the 80 plus boarders he's responsible for to their classrooms for a nine o'clock start, then walks to Wah Yan 'at a brisk pace' through deserted streets ('few people dared to walk the streets so early') for the lectures, which begin at 9.30. When they're over, he hurries back to St. Louis to meet the boarders and share their company until 5 a.m. the next morning. Father O'Meara teaches him Dogma and Father Joy Moral Theology. All lectures are in Latin. Source: Father Bernard Tohill, Some Notes From A Diary of the Years 1941-1942, 21-22 |
