There is plenty of room for good Catholic writers today, Mr. Lally stated, but you must know the methods of writ ing saleable copy and the ways in which you can market it. Much material is lost because its authors are ignorant of good publication channels. Mr. Lally, who spoke on Writing for Magazines and Newspapers, outlined the technique of submitting copy for publica tion, suggesting effective media and warn ing against common errors. Magazines and the radio are both var ied outlets for your talents, he as serted, but be sure to write of familiar persons and things, places you know, and situations you understand.

First President of Institute Chartered by Pius XII Lectures March 7 The president of the only Pontificlal Institute on this continent, the Rever end Gerald B. Phelan, Ph.D., LL.D., of Toronto, Canada, will give the final address in the series on St. Thomas, lecturing on March 12 on St. Thomas, a Modern Thinker. Dr. Phelan. a translator of St. Thom as' On the Governance of Princes. is the first president of the Institute of Mediaevel Studies, founded in 1929 by the Basilian Fathers at St. Mich ael's college, the Catholic college of the University of Toronto. Pope Pius XII last October granted a charter which empowers the Insti tute to confer the Pontifical.. Degrees of Licentiate (intermediary degree be tween bachelor and doctor) and Doc torate in Mediaevel Studies. Institute Is Unique No other institute of mediaeval stud ies in the world has this privilege. A number of universities, modern as well as mediaeval, have Papal charters, but Institutes are fewer because they con fine themselves to post-graduate work. From the early clays of universities in Europe, a charter from the Roman Pon tiff has been regarded as a singular privilege. The petition to the Holy Father for the Charter to the Institute in Tor onto was signed by His Eminence, Car dinal Villeneuve and all the archbish ops and bishops of Canada. Dr. Phelan joined St. Michael's staff in 1925 and assisted in the develop ment, of mediaeval studies in the col lege. Courses at the Institute, which cover all the civilization and culture of the Middle Ages, include theology, philosophy, canon law, history, Latin and vernacular literatures, archaelogy, and paleography. Will Hear Mass, Sermon With the Reverend Francis J. Trainor celebrating. Holy Mass will be offered in Stella Maris Chapel for members of Mu Nu Sigma, in honor of their patron, St. Thomas Aquinas, on the saint's feast day, March 7. Following the Mass, the Reverend Wil liam P. Boyd will give an address on The Encyclical Aeterni Patris of Pope- Leo XIII, the document which establishes the Summa Theologica of St. Thomas as the text to be taught in Catholic semin aries. Father Trainor and Father Boyd con duct the courses in Encyclicals which are required of all- students. During the Mass, the college choir will sing three hymns of St. Thomas, Adore Te, Pange Lingua, and Panis Angelicus. Violinists Audition For Concert Tour Bette McCaughey, senior violin student. passed the first audition last week for the American Orchestra of Young People, 16-25 years of age, which will be organized this spring under the direction of Leopold Stokowski.
