Army Major Donates Brochure to College Bishop of San JuanWrites Foreword Valentine Parties Precede From Major C. .J. Wittier, A.G.D., former faculty member in the Sociology department, the College has received an illustrated brochure entitled Old Churches of San Juan.

The island of Puerto Rico, the Bish op notes, has the distinction of receiving the first Bishop of the New World. In May, 1513, Bishop Alonso Manso of Spain arrived here as Bishop of San Juan de Puerto Rico ... his first ca thedral was in Caparra ... a small town near the present city of San Juan.
