New Legion Head Is College Quest; Qrants Interview Father of Freshman Resident Student Voices Veteian's Peace Stand Raymond J. Kelly, newly elected na tional commander of the American Legion, paid the College a pre-election visit last week to grant the Sky scraper an exclusive interview and to greet his freshman daughter, Winifred, a student here. Energetic and commanding, yet pos sessing the geniality that chuckles at a good joke, Mr. Kelly was firm in his statement of American non-aggression. For the past two years the Legion has passed unanimous resolutions against the entrance of the United States into a foreign war, he stated, and the task of the World War's alumni is to keep America out of the present European conflict. The commander spoke of the disor ganization which prevailed during the last war. in which he enlisted as a pri vate and retired from service after the war with a second lieutenant's commis sion. Mr. Kelly attended the University of Notre Dame and was graduated from the University of Detroit. He is at present corporation counsel of the city of Detroit, and has already begun plans with other Legion officials to main tain complete neutrality through con gressional legislation and control of pro-war propaganda. When asked his opinion of Munde lein, the commander smiled. I sent my daughter here, didn't I? he answered. Attend Requiem Mass for Chicago's Archbishop Tomorrow Tomorrow, as world-wide mourning marks the funeral of His Eminence, George Cardinal Mundelein, who died suddenly on Oct. 2, the Faculty and students of the College which bears his name will assemble lor a Requiem Mass, celebrated by the Reverend James J. Mahoncy, S.J.. professor of philosophy, for the Chancellor, whose name and influence have been of vast sig nificance in the brief history of Munde lein College. At the request of His Eminence, who had long desired that a Catholic day col lege for women be established in Chica go, the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary undertook the task, erecting a 15 story edifice in which to train their students for able and intelligent Catholic leadership. On All Saints Day. 1929, just a de cade ago. the first earth was turned for the college building, and less than a year later Mundelein College Opened its doors to 250 charter students. Erected Stations One of the Cardinal's first official visits occurred in Ihe autumn of 1930 when he erected the Stations of the Cross in Stella Maris Chapel. When he went to Rome in the spring of 1931 to officiate at the dedication of the new College of Propaganda, made pos sible through his efforts, the prelate carried with him a volume of pictures of the building. Describing it to His Holiness, the late Pope Pius XI, the Cardinal said, this college is not only one of the largest Catholic colleges for women in the world, but it reaches closer to heaven than any other college of which I know. On June 3. 1931. His Eminence pre sided at the Dedication ceremony, ask ing God's blessing that the College might send forth valiant and success ful women for God and for the Coun try, for the Church and for Chris tianity. When the first class .was graduated at the 1932 Commencement, the Car dinal presided, and in 1934, at the graduation of the Charter Class, In- con fcrrcd degrees upon the 88 can didates, including his niece. Mrs. James Francis Kearney, the former Miss Rita Eppig. Received Carolers The traditional Christmas serenade of the Glee club began at the Cardinal's home in 1932. Delighted with the sing ing, Cardinal Mundelein requested the hymn which had been his favorite since childhood, Ihr Kinderlein Kommet, and, since that Christmas Eve. the song has closed each annual serenade at the archiepiscopal residence. On successive Christmasscs he gave to the college priceless pieces from his own personal autograph and book collec tion, including an almost complete set of autographed documents of the Sign ers of the Declaration of Independence, signatures of famous men, including Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Roger B. Taney, Henry W. Longfellow, Ed- vard Grieg, and others. Last Christmas Eve, he gave to the College a letter which he had received from His Holiness, Pope Pius XII. when, as Cardinal Pacelli, he wrote to Chicago's Cardinal. (Continued on Page 3. Col. 1)
