Items on our house style sheet not covered in our manual: As a Catholic institution, there are some things that don't change. Mass is always Mass. Others are not so particular. Father Smith is Fr. Smith/Scholastics are always Mr. Smith. We are always "U of D Jesuit", not "UD Jesuit" or "The High" not "the High". Always fighting the use of internet idioms.
