Urges Collegians To Take Course In Home Economics Homemaking, declared Miss Ada Hess, supervisor of home economics in the State of Illinois, in an interview following her lecture here on March 3, has become a profession, and I would recommend that all college girls, what ever their major interest, take at least one course in home economics before graduation. Starting her professional career as a teacher of history and foreign languages, Miss Hess turned to home economics quite by accident and has since become distinguished as a teacher and a super visor. In charge of 300 organizations com prising vocational groups for boys as well as clubs for girls and women, Miss Hess declares that cooperation is the outstanding characteristic of home eco nomics groups in Illinois. Seniors in the home economics depart ment entertained Miss Hess at luncheon in the model apartment before her lec ture to the members of the Home Eco nomics club and displayed for her the charts, dietetics projects, and scientific data they have been assembling during the past semester.

Honor St. Thomas In Inter-College Symposium Here Loyola,MundeleinProfessors And Students Discuss Philosopher Father Ellard Will Talk Here Tuesday The Reverend Gerald Ellard, S.J., of St. Mary's college, Kansas, will lecture at the assembly on Tuesday on the topic Youth Leads on the Liturgical Front. An outstanding authority on the Liturgy, Father Ellard is the author of the text, Christian Life and Worship. The outstanding merit of St. Thomas Aquinas as patron of schools is that he was a lover of truth, sincerely and en tirely, declared the Reverend John F. McCormick, S. J., head of the philoso phy department at Loyola university, in his introduction to the sixth annual Loyola - Mundelein symposium on St. Thomas, held in the Lorraine Horn auditorium yesterday. John F. Garrity, of Loyola, drew at tention to St. Thomas' philosophy of relaxation; Ruth Kees revealed the ur bane naturalness of the Common Doctor. John E. Brennan of Loyola outlined St. Thomas' philosophy of friendship; and 'Lorraine Horn presented an erudite and entertaining criticism of the Thom- istic poems. Summarizing the work of St. Thomas, Daniel J. Morris, Ph. D.,. instructor in philosophy at Loyo la, pointed out that, although the modern mind tries to dis sever theology and philosophy and cred its St. Thomas with achievement as a the ologian rather than as a philosopher, the real achievement of the Patron of the Schools lies in his correlation of these necessarily related subjects. Modern intellectual confusion, Dr. Morris concluded, results from the at tempted disseverance, whereas Catholic harmony and moral integrity result di rectly from the recognition of philosophy as a science above the ordinary subjects, and theology as a study, higher than, but affiliated with, philosophy. The symposi um closed with solemn Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Ruth Kees Chicago Centennial Recalls Catholicism in City History New Reference Works Placed in Library Two new standard reference works have recently been secured for the library, the New Americana in 30 volumes and the Cambridge Natural History in 10 volumes. Other new books on the shelves include Colby, English Catholic Poets ; Eb- erlein. The Practical Book of Ameri can Antiques; Eppstein, Catholic Tradition in the Law of Nations; Gail, Romping Through Physics; Kelly, Well of English ; Graves, Tri umph of an Idea; Taylor, Pioneering on Social Frontiers. By Jean While Qiicago was cutting its one hundredth birthday cake yesterday, the ghosts of Joliet, La Salle, and Pere Marquette must have been called in to behold the celebration. And rightly so, for to them and to a host of other early and recent Catholic leaders belong much of the glory for Chicago's greatness. As far back as 1673 Louis Joliet, no ticed that a small strip of land later known as the Portage of Chccagou, in terrupted communication between the Great Lake System and the Illinois River which runs into the Mississippi. He is responsible for the suggestion that a canal be cut which would con nect the two water systems, making it possible to travel from the Atlantic to the Gulf by inland waterway. The embodiment of Joliel's idea was the Michigan Illinois Canal in 1848, and more recently the Lakes-to-Gulf Waterway in 1933. This continuous route of transportation is largely responsible for Chicago's commercial glory. Holy Father Sends Message The following message was re ceived at the College last week from the Vatican in response to a message of congratulation cabled on the eve of the fifteenth anni versary of the coronation of the Holy Father. Vaticano, li February 12, 1937 II Cardinale Pacelli, Segretario di Statu di Sua Santita begs to express the paternal thanks of the Holy Father to Sister Mary Con suela and to the Faculty and stu dents of Mundelein College for their message of filial homage and felicitation on the occasion of the Anniversary of the Coronation of His Holiness and to convey to them, in pledge of abiding grace, the Apostolic Benediction. Choir to Appear On Nation Wide Program Tonight Study Nationalities For Ethnic Survey A college-wide survey of student na tionalities, under the sponsorship of the International Relations club, to take place next week has been announced by Flo rence O'Callahan, president of the club. According to Miss O'Callahan, the object of the census is to determine the variety and membership of the different ethnic groups throughout the College. The survey will also be a movement toward the social goal of better under standing among peoples of different na tionalities. Questionnaires to be filled in by each student will be distributed early next week. McKeever It was Rene La Salle who first sug gested that an establishment be placed at the site of Chicago. Subsequently the section of land became a fort, a ware house, and a Jesuit mission port. When Pere Marquette remained at the site for 16 weeks between 1870-74 and celebrated the first Mass, dispensing the sacraments and writing his famous journal, the initial step toward Catholi city was taken in the area. So appreciative of his work have been the later residents of Chicago that, by ordinance of Hie City Council, they annually observe the day he beached his canoe at the Portage as Marquette Day. Numerous priests made the acquaint ance of the district after Marquette's visit. The city's first permanent settler was the French Catholic Jean Baptisle Point de Saible who lived in Chicagoland from 1784 to 1800 and witnessed the purchase of the site from the Indians in 1795 by (Continued on page 4, column 1) Debate Coach Talks At Texas Meeting William H. Conley, M.B.A., dean of Wright Junior college and coach of de bate at Mundelein, addressed the na tional convention of the American As sociation of Junior Colleges, in Dallas, Texas, last week. His topic, Recent Significant Curricu- lar Changes, summarized the trend to ward general education as exemplified in in the Chicago city colleges and at the Universities of Chicago, Michigan, and Florida. Opposed to this system, which aims to give students a wide and comprehen sive general knowledge, is the technical training plan, popular in California schools, which provides students with intensive training in their particular vo cational field. Entire College Joins In Novena of Grace The Novena of Grace in honor of St. Francis Xavier opened yesterday in the College Chapel and will continue until March 12, the anniversary of the cano nization of St. Francis and St. Ignatius Loyola in 1622. The Novena is made in accordance with the direction of St. Francis himself, who appeared in 1633 to Father Marcello Mastrilli, S.J., who was seriously ill, and promised his special intercession to those who make the Novena worthily in his honor, receiving the Sacraments of Pen ance and the Holy Eucharist. Father Mastrilli was restored to health, and the Novena of Grace has become widely practiced throughout the Church. Broadcast on N B C's New Chicago Symphonic Hour, 10 P.M.
