L Head of History Division Merits Research Qrant S.S.R.C. Promotes Study of Early Relations of Americas Sister Mary Augustina, B.V.M., head of the history department, has received a grant-in-aid from the Social Science Research Council, for a study of Latin- Ainerican and United States relationships during the period of the movement toward independence. According to present plans. Sister Mary Augustina will go east in June, and, although some of the books re quisite for the proposed study may be unavailable because of wartime precau tions, Sister hopes to secure sufficient material to report on her progress in a year, and, eventually, to publish a book. In June, 1939, Sister Mary Augustina merited the Dunning award, conferred by Columbia university, New York, for the best dissertation on American history pub lished under the auspices of the university- history department between July, 1935, and June, 1938. A study of the religious attitude of the American colonists before, during, and after the Revolutionary War, the dis sertation is entitled American Opinion ok Roman Catholicism in the Eigh teenth Century. The Social Science Research Council offers grants-in-aid to scholars whose capacity for productive research has been effectively demonstrated by pub lished works.

Officer Moore Saves Bonds and Students Promises to Keep Future Hobbies Secret Officer James Moore is a saving man. For 10 years lie has been sav ing the lives of Mundelein students as he keeps watch at the corner of Sheridan and Kenmore. Currently he is saving war bonds, having purchased. to date, 5,000 worth. Baffled through the years by many- sets of student twins and by the youth of the child prodigy. Joanna Xenos '41, who entered Mundelein at the age of 13, Officer Moore is most puzzled at present because he doesn't know who could have told about his gen erous contribution to the I'.S.A. He wouldn't tell, himself oh, no but the students found out they al ways do and ever since then Officer Moore has been besieged by collegians begging autographs and stealing can did camera shots. This annoys the erstwhile jovial guardian no end. Next time I do anything like this, says he, I'm going to keep it a secret. Three Nights Away Is Our Big Date, the S.A.C. Card Party and Fashion Revue Opportunity Knocks For Class of 1945 Manana, tomorrow, Saturday, may be a great day for the Class of 1945, but today is an even greater one.

Classicist Studies Christian Records Biographical Dictionary Sponsored By Fordham Sister Mary Donald, B.V.M., head of the classics department, is collaborating with classicists and scholars under the sponsorship of Fordham university in compiling a Prosopographia Christiana, a biographical dictionary of Christians (and persons intimately associated with Christianity) based exclusively on pri mary sources from the beginnings of Christianity to the year 700. As a result of this work, it is hoped that it will be possible to write a his tory of ancient Christianity of the stature of Pastor's History of the Popes. In order that complete details may be col lected, it will be necessary for the col laborators to delve into pagan Latin and Greek literature, the New Testament, in scriptions, martyrologics, and papyri. Pos sibly Sister Mary Donald may begin her research in Migne's Patrolohia I.atina. Among the directors responsible for the general fields of research are the Rev erend Joseph Marique, S.J., professor of Greek at Fordham; Professor Martin Mc- Guire, of the Catholic university; Dom Auselni Strittmatter. and the Reverend Rudolf Arbesmaim, O.S.A., of the Aug- ustinian seminary.
