Outstanding, in Dr. Rooney's opinion, were the varied sectional meetings; the living monstrance formed at the parade on the last day; and especially the fervor of the delegates at all functions. Miss Dougherty was equally impressed by the Greek Rite, the midnight Mass, held in the stadium, during which 80,000 men carried lighted candles, and the 127 simultaneous Masses every morning in the public auditorium.

Shannon Talks At Alumnae Homecoming You find in the modern world a con flict and a challenge, declared the Rev erend James V. Shannon in his addresf to the Alumnae on Homecoming Sunday. Oct. 6. On all sides you meet an un intelligible conflict between principle ant practice, between thought and act. Emphasizing the tremendous influence of Catholic college graduates in the world today, Father Shannon urged them to stand firm for their principles and to keej clearly before them the practical idealism requisite in modern life. Following Holy Mass, which was read in the Chapel at 10 o'clock, the Alumnae were guests of the College at breakfast. Climaxing Rally Week, Sept. 23 to 27. the highlight of which was the daily pub lication of Skylight, a paper devoting one issue to each of the four standing com mittees and giving interesting sidelights of Sodality life, the first general meeting, on Oct. 1, officially opened the Mundelein Sodality year. A special feature of the meeting was an address by the Reverend Martin J. Carrabine, S.J., moderator of Cisca. Charlotte Wilcox, prefect of the So- lality, opened the meeting with a short talk on the aims and purpose of the or ganization, and outlined the plans for the coming year. Prefect Introduces Chairmen Miss Wilcox then introduced Mary Catherine Rose, recording secretary and pledge-mistress; Catherine Ann Dougher ty, treasurer; Catherine Heerey, cor responding secretary; and Roberta Chris tie, program and publicity chairman of the Sodality. Julia Hagerty explained that the main activity of the Apostolic committee was Mission work; Mary Rose Brown, head of the Eucharistic-Our Lady's academy, gave the aims of her committee and an nounced that the rosary would be said pub licly each day in October in the College chapel, at 11 and 12 o'clock; Jean McKee ver told of the varied activities of the Catholic Social Action committee; and Mary Frances Petrie urged all who are interested in Catholic authors, books, and creative writing to join the Catholic Lit erature academy. Issues Plea for Teachers Miss Rose, chairman of the Catechet ical unit of the Sodality, issued a plea for teachers at both San Marcellus and Marie Adollorata centers. In his address, which came as an un expected surprise, Father Carrabine told of the great need for an increase of Cath olic college students in Cisca, and the de plorable lack of young Catholic leaders in Chicago. He urged all students to take Mary, the Modern as their model and to take heed of the Communists and com- bat them with their own weapons. The official Sodality song by the Rev- erend Daniel A. Lord, S. J., closed the meeting. Eight Graduates Pass Teachers' Examination Pledge a Club Today at Activities Week Fair A miniature World's Fair of activities with the accompanying atmosphere of advertisement, competition, and hawking of wares will greet the eyes of the beholders in the gymnasium this afternoon at 1 o'clock as a feature of Activities Week.

Locker room bulletin boards have added further encouragement (Continued on page 4, col. 2) Urges Wisdom, Courage As Ends of Education Sounding a keynote for the academic year, the Reverend Joseph A. McLaugh- in, S.J., professor of logic, gave the ser mon before the Mass of the Holy Ghost, read in the auditorium on Sept. 27 by the Reverend Charles Boyle, S.J., of Loyola university. Tracing an analogy between the needs of the Apostles during their Cenacle no- vena to the Holy Ghost and college stu dents launching upon a new scholastic year, Father McLaughlin urged them to pray earnestly for the gifts of courage and enlightenment. You are enrolled at Mundelein Col lege, Father declared, because you are seeking enlightenment, and Mundelein College is committed to the responsibility of enlightening you not only in arts and sciences to fit you for your place among the cultured men and women of the world. Your College is much more solicitous that her students learn to think clearly, sanely, and cautiously that they possess the true wisdom which transcends the mere factual knowledge of the superfi cially educated. Explaining that this enlightenment would develop their powers of judging rightly the things of this world in terms of Eternal Life, Father urged, further, that they pray for strength of heart and faith to do and dare for Christ. With a warning against the skepticism of modern intellectuals'' so called, Father McLaughlin pointed out that the Cath olic college teaches no doubtful doctrine, but that with the infallible authority of the Catholic Church behind her, she points out to you the truths of life on earth and Life Eternal.

Earlier in the summer, the Board of Education announced its decision to waive the requirement that all Chicago public school teachers attend Chicago Normal college, and permit graduates of Chicago colleges who successfully pass both written and oral examination to serve one year as apprentice teachers and then to apply for regular positions. Five hundred students took the examin ations; 75 passed, and eight of the 75 were Mundelein students. Rita Riordan '35 is teaching Latin at Englewood night school. Superior Qeneral Qives Old Master to College While in Rome during Holy Week this year, Mother Mary Gervase, Superior General of the Sisters of Charity, B.V.M., secured for Mundelein College the beauti ful Murillo which hangs now at the right of the grand staircase in the Chapel corri dor. An exquisite reproduction of the old masterpiece, executed by a distinguished Italian artist, E. Bianchioi, the madonna con gesu bambino exemplifies the highest perfection of the seventeenth century Spanish painter's art One of a series on the Madonna and Child, it is especially admirable in its rhythm of line, delicate tone color, and blending of light and shadow. The picture, which Mother Gervase had sent from Florence, is exquisitely set in a carved gold-leaf frame of great value, since the type of work it represents can not be duplicated in America.
