Across the hall a class in Anglo-Saxon is in progress. Sister Mary Consolata explains a pronunciation and traces the changes occurring in the word down to the present time. But was that the bell? Indeed! 12:40 and time for dinner! Let us hurry to see the students and lay faculty gather for dinner in the main dining hall. There, important meet- ings of the afternoon and evening will be an- nounced by a senior.

Yes, it is the Classical Civil- ization group and there is no doubt that they are listening intently as the wonders of the 'Eternal City' unfold before them. Looking at our watches we are surprised to see how quickly time is passing. It is well into the middle of the morning as we descend the stairs and find new groups in session. Doctor George W.
