St. Thomas grasped the mediaeval philosophical situation in its setting and solved it in the light of eternal truth. declared the Reverend Gerald B. Phelan, Ph.D., Agrcgc en Philosophic (Lohvain), last Tuesday. Doctor Phelan, president of the Toronto Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Stud ies at Toronto, Canada, delivered the Epilogue of the Celebration in honor of St. Thomas which began on Feb. 29. Two types of modernity exist, Doc tor Phelan maintained, one which is transitory and dependent upon condi tions : and the second which possesses the eternal value of truth, the same in any age. St. Thomas was a modern thinker.'' the speaker continued, because he solved the problems of the time in terms of eternal truths. He led thir teenth century philosophers in the strug gle against erroneous Arabian thought, and defined the true, dignity and identity of man. Doctor Phelan described the falla cious philosophy of Averroes and Avi- cenna as a hybrid of Nco-Platonism and Mohammedanism, predicated on the thesis that man cannot discover truth for himself, but merely receives it when conditions are favorable. That the Christian God is One of essential being, and can bestow being through an act of voluntary creation. was proved by St. Thomas, the lec turer asserted. More than any other man he deserves to be thought of, not only as a saint and as a thinker, but also as the apostle of our times. Wrong thinking is the basis of all wrongs, declared the Reverend Wil liam P. Boyd, in his address to the members of Mu Nu Sigma in the Stella Maris Chapel on March 7. The dis tressing economic, social, and political conditions in the world today are all the fault of wrong thinking. Father Boyd stated that the Aeterni Patris of Pope Leo XIII, the document which establishes the Summa Theologi- ca of Saint Thomas as the text to be taught in Catholic seminaries, points out how and where we can attain truth. Saint Thomas Aquinas sifted all things into one whole system. He was a philosopher, and over and above that he was a saint, he explained. Father Boyd's address followed Holy Mass celebrated by the Reverend Francis J. Trainor and offered for the members of Mu Nu Sigma in honor of St. Thomas Aquinas, their patron, on his feast day. During the Mass, the college choir sang.

Stritch, D.D.. on his arrival in Chicago on March 6. hut I give youth a special place. American youth is the Christian answer to many of the things that are being done by youth and in the name of youth in foreign lands. The new Archbishop declared.

Senior Artists Put Reflected Qlory on Canvas Robert Burns would be delighted with Betty Kreuzer, Georgene McGowan, and Sally Davis, senior art majors. These last two weeks they have been paint ing self-portraits, and every day they have seen themselves as others see them. We never want to look at ourselves again, lamented Miss Davis, daubing her right eyelid. Did you get any surprises? asked Miss Kreuzer, adding more color to her aquamarine sweater, and holding the can vas to the mirror to compare it with the subject. Disappointments, if that's what you mean, Miss McGowan answered as she nonchalantly put a little more curl in her blonde hair. Each artist was surrounded with ma terials, a mirror on an easel before her, another easel holding the canvas, and a draped screen behind her which served as background for the portrait. The work was done in oils with Grant Woods' palette, that is, a palette limited to four colors to produce greater color harmony. Miss Kretizer's portrait is a seven- eighths view of herself in an aqua marine sweater against a dubonnet background. Miss McGowan pro jected her personality into a front view, with her white, blouse outlined on for est green. A girl in a henna-colored dress, her dark hair framed in clear yellow, bears the signature of Sally Davis. (Continued on Page 3, Col. 1)
