Opening Sermon Sets Keynote Describing a successful Mundelein grad uate as one who is able to distinguish the good from the mediocre, Father Wil liam P. Murphy, chairman of the Religion department, set a keynote for the year in a sermon following the Mass of the Holy Ghost, Sept. 19. You become part of a great tradition, Father said, when you enroll at Munde lein. During your years here you acquire the developing ability to distinguish, not just the good from the bad, but the good from the mediocre. Stressing the hidden quality which intellectual and spiritual education jves, the dedication of self, Father in sisted on the power of the Holy Spirit to nake, out of ordinary people, great men; out of average students, gVeat saints. Classmates Attend Requiem for Junior Members of the Faculty and scores of students attended the funeral Mass of Requiem for Vivian Spitali, July 12, at St. Alphonsus church. A graduate of Alvernia high school, Miss Spitali enrolled at Mundelein in September of 1950, made the Honors Con vocation program in May of 1951, and gained distinction writing for both the Review and The Skyscraper in 1951-1952. Early in July she became ill and was taken to St. Joseph's hospital, where she died on July 9 at the age of nineteen. She was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Spitali. Junior Annette Leipsiger examines a sixteenth-century volume displayed in the Bible Week exhibit in the library. Published in 1526, this well-worn Biblia cum Concordantiis has hinge marks on its heavy vellum-covered wooden cover, probably was chained to a table in an old monastery or library in Europe. Precious Bibles Appear In Library Exhibit Today Commemorating the five hundredth anniversary of the printing of the Guttenburg Bible, the Library is exhibiting precious volumes from its Rare Book room, and the Religion and English department are spon soring Studies of Scripture as an influence on daily living and as literature. The library exhibit opens today and continues through Friday in the second floor reading room. Representative Bibles from the fifteenth through the twentieth centuries illustrate the improvement of printing techniques and general presentation. Oldest Bible in the display is an incunabulum given to the College by the late George Cardinal Mundelein in 1935. A Latin Bible printed in Venice in 1492, just 25 years before the Protestant Reformation and at a time when all Europe was Catholic, it is one of 11 such Bibles produced between 1477 and 1500, in the earliest era of printing. The binding and title pages are missing, but the body of the book is carefully bound and corded. A topical Index pre cedes the Book of Genesis, and an Index of Proper Names intact to the letter M is included at the end of the Apocalypse. Second oldest book in the display is the Biblia cum Concordantiis, Vulgata, published in Lyons in 1526. Well-worn and with hinge marks on its heavy vel lum-covered wooden binding, this Bible probably was chained to a table in an old library or monastery. Representing the eighteenth and nine teenth centuries are the New Testa ment in Greek, published in Geneva in 1729, and the Novum Testamentum Graece, published in two volumes, in Lon don, in 1818. These three latter books were given to the College by the late Monsignor John Rothensteiner, of St. Louis. Earliest American Bible in the display is a large, hard-covered small-type nine teenth century volume published in the era of Archbishop John Hughes of New York. Newest of the Bibles are the Monsignor Ronald Knox translation and the illustrated edition of the Chicago Catholic Press. New Sodality Year Begins With Mass Sodality activities are ready to go in to full swing after a summer of planning by the officers. Sodaiists will attend Mass in the Chapel First Friday, October 3. Following the Mass, celebrated by Father William P. Murphy, breakfast will be served in the tearoom. The members of the Spiritual Council, under Mary Cay Hannan, prefect, met during vacation to discuss plans for this year. They chose the theme, Christ In Our Lives, with special emphasis on the sacraments. At the annual Summer School of Cath olic Action, Patricia Fitzmorris was Mun- delein's official representative. 17 Alumnae And Students Enter Religious Orders Seventeen alumnae and former stu dents entered religious orders this fall.
