Humanity Hearkens To Hope, Sweeps Away Dusty Frowns Be it snakes and snails and puppy-dog tails or just plain warm weather, the signs smack of spring. Somehow the gloom of winter seems remote. Just a month ago the pulse of the student body shot down to the danger mark. An insidious type of despair seem ed to infect Mundelein despair, prob ably the result of the Korean war, com- prehensives, and general apathy. Even the clouds seemed to gloioer. We glow ered back. Hut now it's spring and with the gen eral house-cleaning, all the dusty frowns are swept away. Spring brings beauty and a renewal of life and hope. Hope is the new pledge of faith in Cod and Mankind . . . Hope is the little germ that keeps the UN alive and the world praying. Hope is the interior decoration of the College this spring.

Appr Quest Moderator noises Milton For New Anthology Sister Mary Irma, B.V.M., moderator of Quest and the Review, contributes to Volume III of The Great Books, a Christian Appraisal, a study of John Milton's Paradise Lost. Edited by Father Harold C Gardiner, S.J., literary editor of American maga zine, and published by Devin-Adair, the symposium of The Great Books repre sents the scholarship of distinguished writers and critics commenting on Chris tian aspects of the classics. In the Foreword to the first volume, Robert Maynard Hutchins, one of the leaders in the Great Books Foundation, writes: When some of the great master pieces of the past are being read and studied from a pragmatic and even ma terialistic viewpoint, it is refreshing to find an appraisal of the Great Books and of their contribution to our civilization based on Christian concepts. Sister Mary Irma became interested in Milton while attending the lectures of Frank Allen Patterson at Columbia uni versity, where she received her Master of Arts degree, and later wrote at Catholic university her doctoral dissertation on Milton's Paradise with Reference to the Hexameral Background. In 1948 she was co-recipient of the Atlantic short story scholarship to the Breadloaf School of English, awarded to Patricia Kicly '49, for her prize-winning story.
