THE ALVERNIAN most 'Reverend John 'Francis cnoll, 'D.'D. BISHOP or Foirr WAYNE, INDIANA INKED closely with Our Slllllfduj' Visilor, which has enjoyed a nation-wide circula- tion during the twenty-three years of its existence, is its editor and founder, the most Reverend John Francis Noll, D. D., bishop of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Thirteen years ago Bishop Noll sponsored the Society of Missionary Catechists and established a Novitiate and Training School for them near Huntington, Indiana. Apart from his duties as an editor and bishop of the diocese of Fort Wayne, the Most Reverend Francis Noll is treasurer of the American Board of Catholic Missions, a member of the Administrative Committee of the National Catholic Welfare Con- ference, Episcopal chairman of both the National Council of Catholic Men and National Council of Catholic VC'omen and a member of the National Committee of the Legion of Decency. To the class of 1935, Alvernia's tenth anniversary class, the name of Bishop Noll is significant, for it was he who addressed the graduates when they assembled for the last time at the Commencement Exercises on June 13.

N APRIL 25, 1934, when Cardinal Mundelein consecrated a second Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago in the person of the Most Reverend William D. O'Brien, D.D., in the Holy Name Cathedral, Chicago became the only see, other than Paris, with a Cardinal Archbishop and two auxiliary bishops administering its affairs. In addition to being Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago, Bishop O'Brien is President of the Catholic Church Extension Society and Editor of the Extension Magazine. The elevation of Bishop O'Brien to the episcopacy is considered the greatest Consecration in the history of the Catholic Church in North America. This is a magnificent tribute of the Holy Father and the American Hierarchy to the Cardinal of the Home Missions, who after twenty-five years of unceasing and unprecedented labor for the honor and glory of God had again done the unexpected and chosen a second Auxiliary. No doubt, this was also a tribute to the work of The Catholic Extension Society for the past twenty-nine yearsg but during nearly seventeen of these years His Eminence, George Cardinal Mundelein, has been Chancellor of The Extension and the guiding star of its destinies.

No one can foresee what Alvernia will be at the end of the next ten years, but this we know -- that it will depend in no small degree upon how well the class of 1935 and those who will follow them represent it and interpret it to the world. Ever since her establishment in 1924 and her dedication in 1925, Alvernia has cherished deep in her inmost heart that there is no art or science in all the curricula of the schools, there is no theory of all the universe, no solid basis for faith or love, for hope or desire, no quest or goal of adventure, no real ground for any system of morals in which God is not recognized as Creator, Lord, and obeyed as Master, and worship- fully honored and loved as Father. On this all-embracing ideal Alvernia ponders day and night, pouring forth prayers that her daughters of the past, present, yea even the future, may fulfill this primary purpose of their creation.
