Following the trail blazed by George Rogers Clark to Fort Vincennes, In diana, and the old Vincennes trail to the Chicago area, the Sauter's built their first log cabin at what is now 228th street and Woodlawn avenue. In the home of Elogious' son, Vin cent, the first Mass was celebrated in that section of the territory, and in 1847 the first church, St. James of Strasburg, was built by the growing community. Home of the pioneer family was on the old Saux trail, an ancient high way, worn by the feet of countless In dians, travelled by white explorers, probably the first of whom was La Salle, rutted by the wagon wheels of gold-seeking emigrants, and used as an underground railway by slaves be fore the Civil War.

Page Three Philosophy Club Hears Discussion Of Natural Law The Reverend Arthur J. Kelly, S.J., Lectures Eternal law is communicated to ra tional creatures through the light of reason, forming the natural law, stated the Reverend Arthur J. Kelly, S.J., of the philosophy department, in an ad dress to Mu Nu Sigma on Feb. 15. Defining natural law as the pre scribed order consonant to human na ture, Father Kelly explained that all who possess human nature arc subject to the natural law, and that, in con sequence, the natural law is the basis for international law. Citing the philosopher Suarez as a reference, Father Kelly pointed out that there are two essential types of inter national law, Natural International Law, based on the natural law, and Positive International Law, which aris es from customs and which is illus trated in pacts, treaties, and various other types of agreements. Since international law is the result of agreement, mutual trust among na tions, Father insisted, is imperative, and lack of trust results in the viola tion of international law and leads to war. Aside from lack of trust among na tions, Father Kelly cited two other pot ent causes of global war the secular- istic, naturalistic trend of statesmen and of nations, and the tendency of certain fallacious philosophers to hold that international law, if not recog nized, does not exist. Preluding his lecture, Father Kelly reminded the students of the important part which women must play in gov ernment and of the responsibility which such a role entails. Maria De Block, president of Mu Nu Sigma, in troduced the speaker.
