'GRAND OLD MAN' OF LIBRARY WINS SCHOLAR'S HONOR During ithe Christmas holidays, two members of the faculty attended the semi-centennial meeting of the Modern Language Association of America, which was held at St. Louis, Dec. 28-30. The Association conferred a singular honor upon the Reverend John Rothen steiner, founder of the Rothensteiner col lection in the College library, when he was introduced to a distinguished audi ence at the Goethe section. Albert W. Aron, Ph.D., head of the German department at the University of Illinois, presented him as the Goethe scholar who so ably translated a large number of poems published by Dr. Bruns in his recent book, Goethes Gedichte und Spruche. The audience rose to applaud as Fa ther Rothensteiner, the grand old man of the Mundelein College library, pro ceeded to the platform where he addressed the group, telling of his previous books of translation and of the work in which he is now engaged, the translation of the more beautiful German lyrics from Klopstock to the present day. Among the outstanding events in the meetings of the German section were the lectures delivered by Dr. Fredrick Bruns, of the University of Wisconsin, on Dra ma und Novelle bei Heinrich von Kleist, by Dr. Bayard Quincey Morgan, of the same university, on the Standard Word List, and by Dr. Otto Heller, of Wash ington university, St. Louis, on Faust and Faustus Once More. In the Egnlish section the most inter esting paper was that read by Dr. Bruns on the Concept of the Inner Form of Lyric Poetry. In the Romance department the paper by George S. Dale of Cornell university on Agustin de Rojas and La Vida es sueno was of special value. Lucy Crowley Will Lead Junior Prom at the Blackstone Annual Winter Formal Is Scheduled for Feb.

Written on March 12, 1778, the letter, although over one hundred and fifty years old, is still easily decipherable. It is a note of congratulation to Captain John Barry, commending him for his gallantry and address in the late attack on the Enemy's Ships. Captain Barry was the first Commo dore in the American Navy, and it was men trained by him who gained signal naval victories in the War with Tripoli and the War of 1812. At the Cardinal's home on Christmas Eve, the students, grouped around the inside staircase, sang a number of carols, after which His Eminence, who had been listening on the second floor, came down to thank them. Lenore Manning and Gloria Barry, president and vice-president of the S. A. C, offered him a Christmas wreath with the season's greetings from the Faculty and students. (Continued on Page 4, Col. 2) Junior Entertains Alice and Wilfred Meynell in New York While Mary Alice Wolf was home during the Christinas holidays, home be ing Buffalo, New York, she had the great fun of meeting and talking to Alice and Wilfred Meynell, grandchildren of the Alice and Wilfred of literary fame, who were guests at her home. Alice and Wilfred Meynell are, accord ing to Miss Wolf, utterly charming and utterly English They are, however, very dark, a heritage of their Italian mother, and are in their early twenties. Neither confessed any decided literary aspirations, but they revere the memory of their grandparents' genius. Miss Wolf related an amusing incident that occurred while they were visting her. It seems that she had casually turned off the artificial log burned in the fire place. Turning to her guests, she ob served that Miss Meynell looked rather worried, and she immediately asked why. Miss Meynell hesitated; then asked rather shyly, Aren't you afraid it will become cold in here now that you have extinguished the fire in the grate? Miss Wolf, concealing her surprise, explained that the central heating system heated the whole house, the artificial logs merely supplementing it. The visitor apologized laughingly, and attributed her mistake to the fact that there are few such systems in England and that unless one has a heater of some kind in each room, one freezes Staff Observes Third Birthday of College Paper The Skyscraper is three years old, and with this issue the editors proudly place three candles upon its birthday cake.
