Considering the work of the colleges in wartime and after the war, the dele gates agreed that a re-examination of the values of the liberal arts curricu lum is in order, but disapproved any permanent move toward relinquishing the liberal arts in favor of exclusively technical education. Consider New Plan Admitting the immediate national need for trained soldiers, the delegates discussed the possibility of providing one year of general education for col lege students of pre-induction age, and of planning condensed programs for returned soldiers after the war. Dr. Fdward J. Sparling, president of Central Y.M.C.A. college and secretary- treasurer of the Federation, observed tiiat the colleges will have an extra burden of social and liberal education after the war. Lauds Catholic Schools President Donald J. Cowling, of Carleton college, paid special tribute to the Catholic schools for their stand against federal control of education, and affirmed his belief that the American people will oppose any measure to dis solve the liberal arts colleges in the United States. President Carter Davidson of Knox college is the executive officer of the Federation, and President W. E. Shaw, of Illinois Weslcyan university, is vice- president. Sociologist Writes Article for Review Sister Mary Liguori, B.V.M., chairman of the sociology department, reviews Paul Hanly Furfcy's A History of Social Thought for the quarterly issue of the American Cathouc Sociological Re view. President of the S.A.C, Marianne Donahoe is busy with triple duties these days. Having presented her own piano recital last Sunday, and being scheduled to play a Liszt Concerto with the Orchestra this Sunday, she is also act ing as general chairman of the Card Party and Fashion Revue to be held at the Medinah club, April 29. Sophomores Take Special Test in Comprehensives The Mundelein Sophomore Inven tory, final examination in the series of sophomore comprehensives, will be given next Tuesday during the regular sophomore religion period. A locally constructed test, it pur ports to measure certain important out comes which Mundelein, as a Catholic college, aims to achieve, and it com prises four parts. Part One is a test of the student's knowledge of Catholic principles that underlie the evaluation of basic issues in the fields of social science, natural science, literature, and the fine arts. Part Two is a test of the student's acquaintance with contemporary Catho lic affairs; Part Three is a test of acquaintance with contemporary Catho lic literature, and Part Four is a test oi the student's intellectual grasp of important issues in Catholic apologetics.

Seeing the need for Catholic teaching and thought among the public-school teen-age set in suburban Skokic, -which has no Catholic high school, the girls, under the auspices of the St. Peter's Sodality, have organized a series of 12 lectures in Apologetics, and a cor responding series of social hours. Begun March 1. the lecture and social hour series is planned to extend until May 18. Miss Brown, who majored in biology at Mundelein and who is a laboratory technician in a pharmaceu tical plant, is giving the lectures on the existence of God. Miss Schweisthal, an economics major now' employed by an insurance company, is lecturing on the proofs that Christ is God; Frances Wucrth is giving the lectures on the proof that Christ founded the Church and that it is the true Church; and Miss Anderson will give a series on The False 'Isms. Lorraine Wucrth takes care of the agenda.
