,T*., IHE immm i 'olume IX MUNDELEIN COLLEGE, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, OCTOBER 18, 1938 No. 2 Holy Father Urges Catholic Colleges To Guard Liberty Encyclical Course Opens Day Announcement Is Made ' Last Thursday, the metropolitan press announced that His Holiness, Pope Pius XI, in a message to the Catholic Univer sity of America, had called upon Catho lic colleges to guard, through their teach ing, the individual liberties which are be ing assailed by subversive influences throughout the world today. And on last Thursday morning, as if in anticipation of the Holy Father's plea, the College inaugurated the course in Papal Encyclicals, which is being con ducted with the approbation of His Em inence, George Cardinal Mundelein, by two members of the faculty of his Sum mer School of Catholic Action, the Rev erend William Boyd and the Reverend Francis J. Trainor. This is the second occasion on which the College has introduced into the cur riculum courses especially recommended by the Holy Father and by Catholic leaders. In 1934, at the request of the Cardinal, the department of sociology and social work, now one of the largest in the school, was organized. The course in Encyclicals is designed to carry out ihe Holy Father's wishes, bringing to bear upon the most pressing problems oi the day the full force of those principles of justice and charity in which alone they will find their solution. 1200 Delegates Attend Catholic Press Conference Review Editor Conducts Forum on Fiction Stressing faith and reason as the basis of all Catholic journalism, the second.

Deferrari Praises Women's Colleges The Catliolic college for women is the wonder of the educational world, de clared Dr. Roy J. Deferrari, secretary general of the Catholic University of America, in an assembly address on Oct. 4. On the basis of 10 years of practical observation of the Catholic college, Dr. Deferrari contends that the rapid growth and phenomenal success of Catliolic col leges for women in the United States con stitutes a decisive refutation of the theory that three generations of development are necessary before a college can become a distinct influence in the educational world. Papal Dignitaries Are College Quests Two members of the official house hold of Pope Pius XI visited the College on Oct. 14, en route to the National Eucharistic Congress in New Orleans. Monsignor Alberto Arborio-Mella di Sant'Elia, Maestro di Camera di Sua Santita, and Monsignor Er- manno Bonazzi, Pontifical Master of Ceremonies of the Holy See, were accompanied by Monsignor Joseph P. Morrison, rector of Holy Name Cathedral, and the Reverend Thom as F. Friel, director of the Chicago Pilgrimage to New Orleans. Following a tour of the building, Monsignor Mella conferred upon the Faculty the special blessing of His Holiness, Pope Pius XI, and, re marking the importance of the high er education of women, commended the great work being done at Mun delein College. Of all the places I have visited, Monsignor Mella concluded, no where have I felt more joy and con tentment about Catholic education than I have here at Mundelein. Drama Season Opens With One-Act Plays On the evenings of Nov. 13 and 14 the drama department will officially inaugu rate the college drama season presenting three one-act plays. There will also be a matinee performance on Nov. 12. Peace In Our Time, a serious play with an English setting, concerns a cha otic international situation which might be timed: The Present. The Trail ok the Chinese Dragon is a costume production, depicting the conflict between the old order and the new in China today. Contrasting with the serious themes of the other two plays, Everybody's Doing It portrays the humorous complications which arise from a well-meant effort to ward personal beautification. Informal Cotillion, Loyola Tea Dance, Open Social Season The Sophomore Cotillion, which will be held on Oct. 28, and the Loyola-Muu- delein tea dance, scheduled for Oct. 20, hold the current social spotlight. The tea-dance, arranged by the Student Activities Councils oi Loyola and Munde lein, is under the chairmanship of Ger aldine Connell and Roger Slattery. It will be held in the Mundelein gym nasium, from 3 to 5 p. m., with a nine- piece orchestra providing music anil with tea served in the tea-room. The Cotillion, which will be in the new ly decorated Boulevard Room of the Ste vens Hotel, with Gay Claridge's Orches tra providing music, is the first off-cam pus social affair of the year, and the first all-college party sponsored by the Class of 1941. Social Chairman Margaret Byron and Sophomore President Ruth McCormick predict that the Cotillion will be the larg est of its kind in college history, judging from the popularity of bills, which went on sale last week. Jane Rohol, chairman of the Chaperon committee, has announced that the fol lowing sophomores' parents have ac cepted invitations to act as chaperons: Mrs. and Mrs. John Edward McCor mick, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred H. Rohol, and Mr. and Mrs. Harold O'Connor.

This initial concert will be followed by the presentation of the Vienna Choir Boys on Sunday, Nov. 20 and the appear ance of Frank Sheridan, prominent pianist, on Sunday, Feb. 19, to complete the cycle of three concerts which comprise the first Mundelein Musical Series, which has been inaugurated as a supplement to the cul tural life of Mundelein students and Chi- cagoans in general, this season.
