The best actual experience you can get is in summer theatre work, she said, and urged the students, addition ally, to study Shakespeare and to at tend current plays. Even from the worst acting, she observed, you can gain pointers to improve your own technique.

Roman Copies of Raphael's Works Come from Abroad A selection of eight full-color Italian reproductions of famous paintings of Raffaello Sanzio, commonly called Ra phael, Italian artist of the Renaisance period, are a recent gift to the College. Secured in Rome by Major Lawrence Theisen, a West Point graduate who served 34 months as intelligence officer to General George Patton during the African and Sicilian campaigns, they are the gift of Sister Mary Joseph, B. V.M., of St. Callistus convent. The original paintings, before the war, were in the art galleries of Dresden, Milan, and Florence. Major Theisen se cured the copies in Rome just before his return in November from overseas duty. Four of the pictures are details of the Sistine Madonna, Raphael's most mem orable presentation of the Blessed Moth er and Child. The details included in the Roman selection are of the Mother and Child, of two angels, of Saint Barbara, and of Pope Sixtus. Although the Sistine Madonna is one of the artist's later pictures, its style has the freshness and simplicity of the artist's early compositions. The Marriage of the Virgin, one of the most delicately colored of the Ra phael masterpieces, depicts St. Joseph presenting the espousal ring to Mary. It is a rearrangement of the Giving of the Keys to Peter, a composition by Perrugino, Raphael's teacher, whose methods the younger painter followed closely. A complete reproduction of the Ma donna of the Chair, probably one of Raphael's most widely known paintings, is included among the selections. The completely natural facial expressions of the Mother and Child demonstrate Ra phael's rare gift for making subjects seem real. The Madonna of the Cardinal and the Madonna of the Grand Duke, both named for the original owners, show similarity in the serenity of expression in the oval contours of the Virgin's face. A large oil painting of the Grand Ducal Madonna hangs above the fireplace in the social room. The pictures will be framed before going on permanent display in the Col lege. Senior Sociologists Discuss Chicagofs Social Facilities Senior members of the Sociology de partment presented their senior projects on Jan. 12 in a seminar entitled Some Social Facilities in Chicagoland. The students secured their information from observation and investigation of the various social institutions in and around Chicago. In discussing child placement agencies in the vicinity, Charlotte Smith gave particular emphasis to the four largest ones, the Catholic, Jewish, Non-De nominational, and Public Child Place ment centers. Mary McGee's paper, entitled Crippled Children in Chicago, dwelt on the fa cilities provided by the Board of Edu cation in schools and in hospitals for afflicted children in this area. Ida Ann Cardone centered her talk around settlements and, in particular, the Chicago Commons, one of the oldest settlement houses in the city. Lenore Brockhaus discussed the facilities and personnel of St. Mary's Training School in Des Plaines. In covering aspects of Recreation and Delinquency, Mary Ellen Gallagher stressed the point that the wise individ ual plans for the constructive use of his leisure time, and the wise city plans for its recreation. Jean Spatuzza explained that, while the value of occupational therapy is obvious, most hospitals in this area do not have a sufficiently large staff trained in therapeutic work to extend its bene fits to all cases. Juvenile delinquency, particularly in the higher delinquent areas, formed the basis of Amalia Kukulski's paper. Isa- bellc Hcnncssy discussed labor problems with particular emphasis on the neces sity for meeting the problem of security in the laboring classes. Victoria Greco considered the diffi culties facing the feeble-minded person in his adjustment to daily living. Jean Casey discussed the effect of the Old Age Pension and Assistance Plan on old people's homes in general. (Continued on Page 3, Col. 1)
