MISS FLORENCE MERCUR THE Mansion foyer was the setting for a concert given by Miss Florence Mercur, a pianist of nation-wide reputation, who has appeared at countless schools, col- leges, and universities throughout the country. Miss Mercur received a diploma from the New York College of Music after intensive study, and then com- pleted her training abroad, under some of the modern masters. Her varied program included many traditional works by such composers as Bach and Handel, lending an im- pression of dignity and grandeur, a melodious group of Chopin's compositions, and a selection of the moderns, which completed the evening with its complex beauty. JAMES P. EVERS, Maurice A. Walsh, and Francis X. Fahy, graduates of Fordham Law School and partners in a legal firm, brought to the college students a clear picture of C0mmunism's infiltration. ln a panel discussion, they showed that the Marxian philosophy of life is so completely incompatible with democracy that compromise is impossible. By an accu- rately compiled record of Communist ideals, activity, and aggression, these lawyers led their audience to the only logical conclusion: that it is the duty of every Catholic to be aware of this threat to freedom, and to fight it with the weapons of knowledge, prayer, and political responsibility. Only in this manner can America be preserved from Com- munism, and the old world freed from its tyranny. JAMES P. EVERS MAURICE A. WALSH l47 FRANCIS X. FAHY

Llllll' lillli THE REVEREND THOMAS F. STACK OUR Liturgy Day Program was highlighted by the address of Rev. Thomas F. Stack, Professor of English and Italian at St. Thomas Seminary, and a nationally prominent leader in the Liturgical Movement and in Catholic Action. Father Stack clarified the relationship of the Liturgy to our ordinary life, using as his theme the motto of Pius X, Restoring all things in Christ. He emphasized the fact that the primary and indispensable source of true Christian spirit is participation in the official worship of the Church. The Liturgical practices for homes and work- shops, the Sacraments and Sacramentals, as well as the Heart of the Liturgy, the Mass, were discussed. I BARON ESS LILY DOBLHOFF THE Baroness Lily Doblhoff, who was a diplomatic cor- respondent throughout the tense years preceding and during the war, knows intimately the problems, emotions, and hopes of Europe. In a lecture at the Court, she described the cultural revival of the continent. There is something in humanity that no trouble can efface, the Baroness explained, and that is the hope for a happier future. The despairing philosophy of the existentialists and their like is now being effectively op- posed by the dynamic growth of Christian thought in European art, literature, and life. America has been a refreshing and vivifying influence on the old world through its gaiety, optimism, and innate kindliness. MISS MARY GAVER THE importance of the librarian in present-day society was discussed by a highly qualified observer, Miss Mary Gaver, head of the Department of Library Science at Trenton State Teacher's College. Miss Gaver stated that librarianship, as a profession, has a twofold appeal. First, it is a service vocation, giving one an opportunity to bring happiness to one's com- munity. Secondly, the positions available are varied enough that every individual difference and preference may be gratified. To be a good librarian, Miss Gaver stressed, one must have a consuming interest in other people, as well as in books and ideas. Determination to do a hard task well is the final essential qualification in this seriously understaffed field. MISS BERTHA LAWRENCE MISS BERTHA LAWRENCE, dean of Instruction at Trenton State Teacher's College, addressed the pros- pective educators at Georgian Court on the ideals and the importance of the teaching profession. Making her own love of her work evident, Miss Lawrence inspired her audience with the thought that the teachers of America build the future of America. Through the hands of unknown teachers must pass the geniuses of the next generation, as well as the vast crowds of average citizens who make the world what it is. There is no higher vocation, Miss Lawrence insisted, than to hold the lamp high so the world's children may see, and climb on to a better world than their parents have yet reached.

Let us follow today's program. WON'T you join me today and let me take you on a tour of our college? l realize it is rather early. Ten to seven to be exact and through the early morning stillness echo the chapel bells, our faithful alarm clock. 'Tis another day in the life of a Courtier and first and foremost on the daily schedule is Holy Mass. You see, Georgian Court College well realizes the im- portance of a formal education, but is also highly concerned with the spiritual develop- ment of each student who enters her portals. From each hall and from all directions on campus there emerges an ever steady proces- sion of students, all hurrying to attend Mass. Friendly Good Mornings and cheery Hel- ios , rival the whisperings of the pines. Do you notice though, the certain solemnity that en- velops each group as they near the chapel door, Cllllllll i2..m'r Penelope Karagias, Patricia Mooney, Joan Murphy Dorothy Leong, and Irene Dominick arrive at the chapel door for morning Mass. preparing- to start the new day by bidding Our Lord, Good Morning ? With the Mass over, the students congre- gate in the arcade. Here they chat a few min- utes before entering the dining hall to indulge in one of Sister Pius' morning snacks, before preparing to begin the round of classes. There Sister Marie Anna, president, advises the two student-editors, Bette Jean Pickett of the Court Page and Becky Roelkey of the Courtier. 148 is always a hum of excitement within the din- ing hall and especially at breakfast time, for 1' 'SL Sister M.
