HIC H fl I I M C C C P Pe P'us XII, blesses a child, while passing through III i M U L I N L J J , the cheering throngs in front of St. Peter's basilica. Peering over the shoulder of the Swiss guard is Sister Mary Joseph Therese, H.V.M., who was visiting in Rome last April when this picture was taken. (See Recollections , page four.) Blessed Are the Humble... Mundelein gave formal tribute, the Requiem High Mass, to Our Holy Father, Pope Pius XII yesterday. While Father William T. Clark offered the Holy Sacrifice, the entire student body, garbed in cap and gown, paid homage to the late Pope of Peace. Had he lived a few months longer, Pius XII would have been pope for two decades. Within that span of time he came to be called the Universal Pope universal in the scope and depth of his interests, universally known and loved, universal in the use of his natural talents. PIUS XII, the first pope to use a typewriter, used every modem means of communication to write and speak on an astounding variety of topics: world peace and unity his constant plea sacred doctrine and dogma, the lay apostolate, the persecuted Church in Poland and Hungary, the use of atomic energy, family life, labor problems, movies as an art, law, medicine, athletics, and so the list goes on and on. There has been no field in which the Pontiff has not shown an informed interest. Through his encyclicals and radio messages he has made known to the world the mind of the Church, thus fulfilling his role as Christ's Vicar. NO POPE in the history of the Church has ever seen or been seen as Pius XII has been seen by millions throughout the world. He was the first man to be come pope who had visited America. Chicago greeted Cardinal Pacelli in 1936. Since his coronation, the Pope has granted private, special or general audi ences to royalty and a group of rock 'n rollers from southern USA, to Prime Minister Nehru and Margaret Truman, to knights and American sailors, to heads of nations, and student tourists. Regardless of rank or nation, all have been awed and yet drawn to the reserved but affectionate Pope. PERHAPS the third universal quality explains the first two. Pius XII, who learned seven languages as a schoolboy for the fun of it, totally dedicated his exceptional gifts of mind and body to the service of the Church. Because he was truly the servant of the servants of God, Catholics and non-Catholics alike mourn his death even as they rejoice that this devoted son of the Virgin Mary has gone to meet the Queen he so zealously served. Noted Shakespearean Director Presents the Bard at Lecture Margaret Webster, noted actress and author, will present a vivid Shakespeare Without Tears when she lectures on A Shakespearean Anthology Oct. 23 as guest-speaker in the second concert-lecture series. Margor l Webster One of the most outstanding figures in contemporary American theater, Miss Webster is perhaps the finest Shakespearean director of our day. The New York Times claimed Margaret Webster is superb. Now we know her success as a director has cost us a splendid actress. Miss Webster made her London debut as an actress in John Barry- more's Hamlet. Her training there also included seasons at the Old Vic and a year with the Macdona Players for whom she acted in 18 plays of George Bernard Shaw. LATER SHE returned to her birth place, New York, shifting her inter est to directing, and staged many other Shakespearean productions, be sides acting in and directing numerous other plays such as the Cherry Or chard, Alice in Wonderland, and the Theater Guild's 1958 version of Back to Methuselah. Co-founder of the American Reper tory Theater with Eva LaGallienne, Margaret Webster was the first tvoman to stage opera at the Metro politan with Don Carlo and Aida. She later did the same for the New York City Opera. Because of her versatility in the theater, she has received honorary de grees from Smith, Russell Sage and Lawrence colleges and Rutgers Uni versity. The daughter of stage and screen actress, Dame May Witty, and Ben Webster, Miss Webster saw her first play at four and made her first pro fessional appearance at 12. She has played in and directed everything from Greek tragedy to a Ray Bolger revue. Besides adapting plays, stage-man aging them, selling tickets, and typing programs, she has also worked in radio, movies and TV, written and talked about the theater to every imaginable audience and has even swept the stage. In love with her profession, Mar garet Webster has lived in the theater ever since she can remember and says she will love it as long as she can foresee or imagine. This artist also adds that she will try to serve it and the American public for the vital part it must play in the American way of life.
