In that same year, 1880, a new archdiocese was created and Bishop Patrick Feehan was invested as the first archbishop of Chi cago. Through the half-century following, city and Church progressed together. As houses and factories appeared, churches, hospitals, and schools came into service under the prelate's direction. Foreign-born men and women migrated in large numbers to the growing city, helping in its work, forming new communities of diverse cultures. Archbishop James Quigley, who came to Chicago in 1903, devoted himself to their spiritual care. He opened a diocesan college for ecclesiastical students to meet the increased demand for priests in Chicago. Steadily, as Chicago marched on, the Catholic Church kept pace, serving not only her own members, but benefitting also the entire cit gt;'- George Cardinal Mundelein. archbishop of Chicago in the years 1915 to 1939, carried the work forward, meriting the love of his people, the respect and admiration of the world. A world renowned semi nary, countless Catholic institutions, a skyscraper college rose as monuments to the Catholic Church and her archbishop. This year, as another half-century opens, Archbishop Samuel A. Stritch comes to our city. A pioneer like Patrick Feehan, mindful of the poor as James Quigley was, like George Mundelein. a scholar who provides for the Catholic education of youth the Archbishop-elect is eminently fitted to maintain the tradition of Catholic prestige and service in Chicago. Perhaps, under his spiritual care and material providence, we who iook back upon a half-century of progress, may look forward to that future predicted by the first Archbishop of Chicago at his investiture 50 years ago: Though the promise of today is so grand, nevertheless remember that we arc only planting the seed, and when this seed of today grows up to be more vigorous and stronger, how much greater and grander will be the future which your children's children will see. Juniors Name Electric Club Sodality Leader To Give Annual As Prom Scene' Student Retreat History of Dress Described in Text By Faculty Member The political and social life of France in the reign of Louis XIV serves as background for a new book entitled Seventeenth Century Costume by Sister Mary St. Remi, B.V.M., which will be used next semester in the costume classes in the home economics depart ment. Sister Mary St. Remi has pre viously written texts on Personality in Dress. Developing the idea that the political life of an era determines the industrial and social conditions of the time, the book emphasizes the influence these have on the costume of the period. According to the theory, the extrava gant fashions of seventeenth-century France reflect the- various stages through which that country passed during the reign of Louis XIV. The economic problems of taxes and industrial legislation are considered in their relation to the evolution of fash ions and manners. Marble Pieta Is Gift to College A reproduction of Michelangelo's Pieta, presented in memory of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Doyle and their daugh ter, Elizabeth, has been placed in the cloister entrance to the Chapel. Carved from Carrara marble, the Pieta reveals the supreme skill with which Michelangelo used the figure of Christ as a vehicle for expression, and immortalizes the desolation of the Ma donna. Mr. and Mrs. Doyle are the parents of Sister Mary St. Rosalie, B.V.M.

New England Director Will Conduct 3-Day Session Freshmen Elect Four Officials Four freshmen joined the roster of Class '43 officers last Tuesday, when Marianne Donohoe, class president, pre sided at an election assembly.

Rooney. S.J., director of the Sodality in the Xew England province, will conduct the animal student retreat from Jan. 30 to Feb. 2. Father Rooney, whose headquarters are at St. Ignatius college, Boston, has asked that the students submit in ad vance-questions Which they would like answered during the three days of lec ture and meditation. Holy Mass. celebrated in the audi torium at 8:45 a. m., will open the exercises each day. The morning con ferences will be at 9:30 and at 10:45. and the afternoon sessions at 1 :15 and at 2:15.

His conferences during the retreat will include explanations of doctrines of the Church and their practical ap plication in the lives of Catholic col lege students. Zoologist Merits Second Grant for Amoeba Research Dr. Dwight L. Hopkins, professor of zoology, who presented a paper on the anloeba, Dec 30, at the annual meeting of Ihe American Association for the Advancement of Science, in Columbus, Ohio, has received an additional grant from the American Philosophical so ciety to continue his investigations. Dr. Hopkins has pursued amoebic re search since 1923, postulating that if science can fully understand the single- celled animal, this knowledge can be applied to man, who is an aggregate of j ue(i simple cells. Several years ago he re ceived a 2,000 grant, which is supple mented by the year's 500 grant. Sister Mary St. Victor, B.V.M., Sister Mary Therese, B.V.M., and Sister Mary Martinette, B.V.M., also attended the Science convention. Lists Requisites for Catholic Leadership Catholic leadership extends into every field, every walk of life, and is all-embracing in its aspects, declared the Reverend James J, Magner in an address on Qualifications for Catholic Leadership, given at the assembly yes terday. Father Magner. director of the Charles Carroll forum and professor at Quigley preparatory seminary, list ed knowledge, initiative, power of re sistance, and hard work as prerequi sites for leadership, adding patience and courage as subdivisions of the third quality. Catholics have vast possibilities ly ing immediately before them, he in sisted, and those of you who have the advantage of education and cul ture are doubly responsible for the quality and the degree of leadership you exercise. Leadership by example is passive, the speaker claimed, because in it are nu positive, constructive factors, al though it is worthy and moral. True leaders, however, he contin- are distinguished by the force Cecilians Present Annual Midwinter Concert, Jan. 28 and persuasion they hold over others, and the leader can, according to his desire, influence for good or evil. Father Magner asserted that culti vation of correct mental attitudes is the most important way to train for Catliolic leadership.
