had HOWARD CROUCH MR. HOWARD CROUCI-I HowAan Cnoucu, founder and director of the Society for Aid to Lepers, spoke to the student body concerning the work of the Marist Missionary Sisters, of Bedford, Massachusetts, who work in the Far East among the lepers. These noble women provide education, medical care, recreation, and the most necessary balm, spiritual guidance. Mr. Crouch presented a new picture of this dread disease to us with the help of movies of the lepers, in which we watched their everyday lives. He said that the lepers simply wish to be considered as human beings and brought forward the thought that they are eternally grateful for any slight favor given them. The personal observation of Mr. Crouch while he served the Army was the impetus which spurred him on in this very noble and humanitarian work. The students were greatly im- pressed by the extensive work carried on in the colonies, and for the first time in their lives, received a true and unadorned picture of the life of a leper. ERICH JUHN, Ph.D. THE.Histot'y Club, at their November meeting, was honored by a lecture given by Dr. Erich Juhn, of the Georgian Court faculty. This prominent lecturer and internationalist chose as his topic, Against the Background of History . Dr. .luhn spoke of the most prominent countries and clarified the view- point of the audience toward world relations. A lecture by Dr. Juhn is always an eagerly accepted event. His extensive knowledge of foreign countries and their customs and his unique and pleasing manner of expression assure him of un ever ready audience. CLIFFORD J. LAUBE MR. CLIFFORD J. LAUBE MR. CLIFFORD J. LAUBE, telegraph editor of the New York Times, lecturer in journalism here at Georgian Court, and a member of the Living Gallery of Catholic Authors, honored the Joyce Kilmer Society, with a lecture on poetry. He read selections from six living poets, and upon request read several poems from his own volume Crags. It was at this meeting that Mr. Lauhe presented the Poetry Society with the walking stick which had formerly belonged to the poet, Joyce Kilmer. This unusual gift is treasured by the group, and by the entire college. MONSIEUR ADOLPHE DEMILLY A DELICHTFUL afternoon was planned in March when Mon- sieur Adolphe Demilly, prominent journalist and editor of La Voix de France, addressed the French club. Monsieur Demilly's address to the club was delivered entirely in French. He contrasted the life of the typical American with that of the French, particularly stressing the conditions which existed during the war years. He spoke of the black market of France, and of its child, Poverty. Monsieur Demilly's address was immensely interesting to the students. They not only had an opportunity to hear of the conditions in France, from the lips of a true Frenchman, but also they had the opportunity to listen to and interpret some very eloquent French. Monsieur Demilly will always be welcome at ,Georgian Court College. DR. ERICH JUHN 171 ADOLPHE DEMILLY

...W fi' gsm. v., .rant ' ' 5'-,Q REVEREND JOSEPH S. KEENAN REVEREND JOSEPH S. KEENAN WHEN the novena honoring our Blessed Lady through her Miraculous Medal was begun in September, attendance had increased considerably over last year and it continued to be a greatly appreciated ceremony as the year progressed. Each Monday night, Reverend Joseph S. Keenan, our chaplain and instructor, delivered a short sermon, explaining a dogma of faith or a principle of Christian living. We know we are better for these additional graces. JAMES P. Evsus, MAURICE A. WALSH, FRANCIS X. FAHY have dedicated their time to a very noble work, that of educat- ing college students to the ideals, practices, and principles upon which Communism is founded. They pointed out the evils, horrors, and un-Godliness upon which Communism stands firmly rooted in performance. A clear-cut picture was drawn for the students, of all the strength which this party has gained in America. REVEREND JOSEPH HUGHES REVEREND JOSEPH HUGHES REV. JOSEPH HUGHES, assistant pastor of Saint Mary's of the Lake Parish, in Lakewood, was a frequent visitor and speaker at the Court during the past year. Father Hughes' sermons at Chapel services found a receptive student body anticipating his visits. We are grateful to Father Hughes for his several sermons during our perpetual novena services. These gentlemen graduates of Fordham Law School and practicing lawyers at the present time, showed clearly how the Marxian pattern is infiltrating our own system of life. The students whole-heartedly welcomed this talk on Com- munism by Mr. Evers, Mr. Walsh and Mr. Fahy. There was a question time in which any doubtful points were brilliantly clarified by the speakers. , MAURICE A. WALSH .:...:g, JAMES P. EVERS 170 FRANCIS X. FAHY

rarium... THE aim of a student of Georgian Court Col- lege is not just the acquisition of a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree. No, it is much more than that. Education to a 'Courtier' is the combination of academic requirements integrated with the principles of Christian MOTHER MARY JOHN, President thought, and the application of these to pre- pare the student for her place in society upon graduation. This rounded education is brought about by instruction, advice, and earnest effort. After graduation, the student will remember and be influenced by many factors that go to SISTER MARY CONCEPTA, Dean GEQR alumni - Gmx COURT col. -Y lan... sg 5 ILY M - R 'rms I PRWIAM LEGS M m'E1Y-ri-rr-A 9 'My TWT- cl In Dn 'Am:.n ' at -f -, 2 .,.
