By Marie Von Driska Maurice Leahy, founder of the Cath olic Poetry society in London, lectur ing to students in the English depart ment, on Oct. 2, spoke of beauty, the clear-cut, chaste, simple beauty of pure art. With a crisp Oxford accent, lie dis missed as unhealthy the over-lettered, over-strained art so in opposition to the Catholic artistic ideal, and, with a trace of the Gaelic rolled r, he ridi culed the vaporizings of vapid men. dipping familiarly, meanwhile, into the poetry of Thompson, Chesterton, Yeats, and Stein as he made Catholic criticism a more definite satirical thing. According to Mr. Leahy, satire will be recognized as a keynote of the Cath olic Literary Revival, which, of neces sity, must make ridiculous the va pidities of our times. Here Mr. Leahy made use of Gertrude Stein's To a Rose and November Fourteenth as positive examples in contrast to the authentic poetry of a Francis Thomp son, that would cast radiance over a broken, bruised world. Another characteristic of the Re vival, Mr. Leahy believes, will be great poetic devotion to the Mother of God. Quoting George Bernard Shaw's Play boy of the Western World, he said, a poet without religion is like a blind painter. Worthy of artistic annihilation be cause they represent certain prevalent attitudes arc, in Mr. Leahy's opinion, words like ideology and escapism; book reviewers who are shaken by every weekly masterpiece, volcanoes of criticism, and the tendency to as sign literary excellence to widely ad vertised books. Born in County Kerry, Ireland, in 1900, Mr. Leahy, who was visiting lecturer at Boston college in 1936 and 1937 and lecturer at Cliff Haven, New- York, this summer, is the author of Carmina, Ax Anthology of Contem porary Catholic Poetry, Thought Prom St. Benedict, and other works. Attends Conventions Isabel Molloy, senior French major, represented the College at the two conventions in Washington, D. C, this summer, the National Catholic Theatre Conference and the International Con gress of Pax Romana, about which she writes in the following article. Honor Mother Clarke At Convocation Todav WeMeet Socially Is Lecture Series Clubs Announce Plans for Year; Welcome Pledges The college club season opened of- irially on Sept. 22, and appropriately tee they are first on the alphabetic lob list, with Alpha Omicron's Debut 'a for new members. Since this is the thirtieth anniver- ary of the American Home Economics Association, Alpha Omicron's officers, Helen Ahem, Marion Bollman, and ji Mahoncy planned a program in- Bducing leaders in the field. Les D'Arciennes, confident that M. Uladicr will not desire to take over per- Kuled French minorities at Munde- Isn, held their first meeting Sept. 25. The girl who has followed the Charm and Personality course during the last two years is now captain of her social soul. There's smooth sailing ahead for her, if she attends this year's class When We Meet Socially, a summary of the formal rules of correct usage. Charted for lecture and discussion, and, of course, application, are the top ics : introductions, formal calls, corre spondence, table and travel etiquette, situations of reverence and respect, and parliamentary usage for clubs and com mittees. If the questions, Should I intro duce the governor to the lady, or vice- versa? and Am I to sign myself 'Miss' in a hotel register? leave you in heavy seas, the Charm and Person ality class will come to the rescue. The time and place for this two-hour, non-credit course will be announced laier. Pax Romana Unites All Nationalities In Peace Prayer Representatives of 36 nations re ceived the news of the German march on Poland at the Pax Romana Con gress, held at the Catholic University of America late this summer. The dramatic announcement of the outbreak of war in Europe was made just after the Congress Mass on Sept. 1, and, in the Day of Prayer immedi ately called, the delegates from Poland and from Germany asked to share the first Vigil. Faint echoes of the newsboy's extra penetrated the walls of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, and the foreign delegates, gathering outside the church, heard the news translated in their own languages. Within two days many of them received the call to arms and were prepared to (Continued on Page 4, Col.

George Warth, S.J., regent of of the Loyola Univer sity School of Medicine, read the Mass of the Holy Ghost in the College audi torium on Friday, Sept. 22.

All Mun delein alumnae, like all Gaul, seem to be divided into three parts, those fol lowing the religious life, those follow ing the academic and professional life, and those following the married life. Three members of the Class of 1939, one member of the Class of 1938, and three former students entered the Con gregation of the Sisters of Charity of the filcssed Virgin Mary on Sept. 8.

The approaching marriage of Dor othy White '35, leading lady of Grand Detour playhouse and instructor of pantomine and dancing at Mundelein, to Lee Huston of the American Air lines was recently announced.
