r* i'lz.i rn skfts IHC.4-- - - Volume V. MUNDELEIN COLLEGE, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, NOVEMBER 9, 1934 No. 3 Defines Economics In Opening Talk Of Lecture Series Father Goodwin Will Discuss Six Topics in Wednesday Lectures In the last century, economics was called political economy, declared the Reverend Eneas B. Goodwin, J.D., in the first of a series of lectures which he will give at the College on Wednesday afternoons at 3 o'clock. Tracing the changing concept of the field of economics since the eighteenth century, Father Goodwin concluded that the stress in that field is too strongly upon price at the present time. On next Wednesday, Nov. 13, at 3 o'clock, Father Goodwin will talk on The Money Problem. Successively, on the four Wednesdays following, he will dis cuss How Prices are Regulated, The Federal Reserve Banks, Government and Investments, and Distribution of Wealth. Father Goodwin, who is a fellow of Johns Hopkins university, and professor of political science at Loyola university, conducts a course in international poli tical relations at Mundelein. (Continued on page 4, col. 2) Cardinal Honors sgr. Cummings With Prelateship The announcement that the Very Rev erend Monsignor William A. Cummings, diocesan director of charities and in structor in social service at the College, has been promoted to the rank of Do mestic Prelate with the title of Right Reverend Monsignor has been heralded with much enthusiasm by the students of Mundelein College. The distinction was accorded to Mon signor Cummings by His Eminence, George Cardinal Mundelein, on his re turn from his Jubilee visit to the Vati can City, for his distinguished work in the Catholic charities and for his valu able service to the Church. The New World writes of him as fol lows : The work of Monsignor Cummings has been varied and far-reaching. Al most his entire priestly career has been devoted to charity work in the Arch diocese of Chicago, and his remarkable aptitude coupled with his varied exper ience has particularly fitted him for his responsible office. Cites Community As Catholic Force In Middle West Were it not for the Divine foolish ness of Father Donaghoe and those early Sisters, would Chicago and the Midwest and its environments show itself the stronghold of Catholicity that it now presents ? Thus queried the Reverend James F. Cloonan, instructor at Quigley Seminary, in a sermon delivered at the ceremony which marked the close of the Centennal year of the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, in the Stella Maris Chapel at Mundelein, Nov. 1. The sermon followed the celebration of High Mass by the Very Reverend Monsignor Thomas F. Quinn of St. Sylvester's parish. With this morning's ceremony, be gan Father Cloonan, you brought to a close a blessed anniversary year a year that marked for you the beginning of one century and the end of another. Indeed you have cause to boast and marvel at the story of the past one hundred years. In lieu of that lone con vent in Philadelphia, today you reckon hundreds of religious homes in numerous cities, villages, and towns throughout this country, from coast to coast; where there were only four on Nov. 1, 1833, today you number thousands of devoted women consecrated to the service of Christ in the cause of Catholic education, lt;ste cL-oLa- -handfuk o .pufiiis. in old. St. Michael's school, your first charge, you count thousands in the numerous elementary, academic, and collegiate in stitutions under your care and tutelage. (Continued on page 4, col. 2) SENORITAS WIN COSTUME PRIZE Versatile Dramatist Reads to Kilmer Group As a result of a demand for her re appearance before the Joyce Kilmer League, Rogers' Park Woman's club, Mary Agnes Tynan, senior English and drama major, gave a fifty-minute lec ture on the play, Mary of Scotland, by Maxwell Anderson, on Nov. 6. Coupled with the discussion, Miss Tynan read three scenes from this play which won the Pulitzer Prize last year and ran for months on Broadway with Helen Hayes as the featured player. Fanny Butcher, literary editor and critic, also attended the meeting as guest of the organization. In 1932, it will be remembered. Miss Tynan wrote and enacted a dramatic monologue A Pair of Kid Gloves, based on the life of the unfortunate em press, Carlotta of Mexico. Article in America Honors Community A Centenary for Our Lady, by Thomas J. Lynam, S.J., in the Nov. 3 issue of America is that national weekly's gallant recognition of the conclusion of the Centennial of the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. After vividly picturing the history of the community, Father Lynam writes: On Chicago's North Shore, towers the great building of Mundelein College. This structure is an evidence of the vision and initiative of the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. They have been the first of the Catholic and among the first few of any educational groups to adopt the skyscraper for educational purposes. It is fitting that the daughters of Mary Francis Clarke should have builded such a monument in such a setting. Mother Clarke ever answered the calls from the West, and she deserves to be ranked as one of the founders of its empire. Juanita and Isabel Pesqueira All Classes Will Unite to Insure Success of Play Ruth Tangney Announces Class Committees for Twelfth Night - Tramp,Tramp,Tramp, We March and Win As the far-famed Legion of De cency Parade swung down Michigan Boulevard on that memorable Sept. 27, the students of Mundelein College, at tired in their jaunty red hats and march ing with the military precision taught them by the national guardsmen, stepped blithely into first place in the Parade Contest. According to an announcement in the New World of Nov. 2, the College will be awarded the trophy for having at tained the most striking appearance and form in the college and university group. Students at Mundelein who attended St. Mary's high school will be pleased to learn that this unit was awarded the prize for the high-school group, while other trophies were given to Our Lady Help of Christians grammar school and to the St. Mary's high school band. The students of Mundelein congratu late Virginia Woods, prefect of the Sodality, who led the Cisca group to first place among the organizations. Alpha Omicron Sends Delegate To Home Economics Convention Virginia Schmidt, president of Alpha Omicron, will leave this morning for Springfield, Illinois, where she will rep resent the College at a convention ol the Illinois Home Economics association. Miss Schmidt will present a report of home economics activities at Mundelein, since the College department of home economics is affiliated with the State as sociation, and will attend a number of conferences and committee meetings. Alpha Omicron scored its first social success of the year with the club card party given at the Palmer House on Wednesday evening, Nov. 7. Over 200 people were present. Miss Schmidt, as president of the club, was general chairman, and was assisted by Jean O'Connor, the vice-president, Lillian Scholzen, secretary-treasurer, and Fran ces Woods, social chairman. The following students were in charge of tickets: Betty Marsh, Mary Elizabeth Ronan, Margaret Ryan, and Margaret Webb. Contrast Mexican, American Schools Being acclaimed the most beautifully costumed at the recent Fall Festival is only one of the interesting things that have happened recently to the charming daughters of the Mexican consul, Isabel and Juanita Pesqueira, members of the freshman class. Until a brief five months ago, the girls had never left their native Mexico City, where for ten years they attended the Anglo-Francais college, receiving their elementary and secondary education there from French Sisters. We studied very much of science, mathematics, literature, and history, ex plained Isabel, with just a minimum of an accent. There were no extra-curricu lar activities. School began at 8:30 in the morn ing, supplemented Juanita, outlining a program that would undoubtedly win the hearty approval of American students. From 10 until 12 there was a period of recreation (mind you ) in the park, after which the main meal of the day was taken at home. School was resumed from 3 to 5:30. Isabel continued. The school year begins on Jan. 15, while our long vaca tion is during the months of November and December. The girls bear a striking resemblance, and are characteristically Spanish, with dark, sparkling eyes, wavy black hair, and low, musical voices. Besides their native tongue, they speak French fluently, and converse easily in English. During the course of the conversation, someone commented, Just imagine, you can speak three languages Oh, no, was Isabel's ready come back, only two-and-a-half. Juanita, the elder of the two, has elected to major in commerce, because she would like to work in an office. Although she, too, has had elementary (Continued on page 4, col. 5) The ticket drive for Twelfth Night, proceeds of which will be given to the new library, was definitely under way on Oct. 31 after the appointment of Ruth Tangney, treasurer of the senior class, as general chairman. Launching her campaign immediately, Miss Tangney has appointed four com mittees, one for each class, and is urging every student in the College to assume responsibility for making the play an unprecedented success. At present, special stress is being laid upon the ticket sales for celebrity night, Nov. 23, which, as the opening night, will be a particularly gala occasion. For mal dress will be in order, and a number of distinguished civic leaders will be in the audience. Miss Tangney has appointed the fol lowing students to take charge of ticket sales in the senior class: Lucille Barrett, Jane Molloy, Marion Mulligan, and Mary Rita Murphy. Virginia Rose Corcoran, Gertrude Hans, Helen Keenan, and Harriet Reed have been appointed to the committee for the junior class. Ruih Kees, Catherine Lindley, Betty Neil, and Mary Margaret Smith are in charge of the sophomore sales, and Shir ley Brice, Eileen Grimm, Margaret Mary Murray, Ann Ellen Smith, and Lois Stephens are in charge of freshman sales. Because of the low cost of the tickets and the current interest in Shakespearean productions, Miss Tangney and her co workers expect to fill the auditorium at each of the three evening performances, on Nov. 23, 25, and 26. Ciscans Cannot Aim Too High, Bishop Declares The purpose of these Cisca gather ings is to discuss Christ, to renew our loyalties to Him and to His work. Our aim should be to obtain the impossible for Christ, stated the Most Reverend Bernard J. Sheil, D.D., director-general of Cisca, in his address at the twenty- third general meeting, at Fenwick high school on Nov. 1. After the opening address, His Excel lency introduced to the assembly the Reverend Martin Carrabine, who has been appointed moderator of Cisca. In ac cepting his appointment, Father Carrabine said: I hope to guide and direct Cisca to the best of my ability, for I feel I have the finest job in the world and am dealing with the elite of Chicago. The opening Mass was said for the repose of the soul of the late director of Cisca, Father Joseph Reiner. The meeting was opened by James Yore, president, who introduced Virginia Woods, secretary and Mundelein Pre fect, to give the report of the secretary. Mundelein was represented by Virginia Woods, Mary Margaret Morrissey, Char lotte Wilcox, Mary Evelyn Smith, Rita McDonough, Lois McTigue, Betty Kelso, Catherine Ann Dougherty, Germaine Mulholland, Rita E i d e n, Catherine O'Connor, and Catherine Heerey.
