FATHER MCCORMACK OUR ACADEMIC FUNCTIONS By MARY AGNES O,NEILL The first of the 1961-62 series of lectures at Good Counsel was delivered by the outstanding author and lecturer, Count Michael de la Bedoyere. His topic was 'fPolitical and Social Problems in Britain Today, in which he stressed the problem of lessening the gap between the British Isles and Continental Europe. At present Count Bedoyere is engaged on the prepa- ration of a new life of St. Francis of Assisi based on important sources that have only recently been made available. On October 20, the worldwide traveller and author, Erik Ritter von Kuehnelt- Leddihn, gave a stimulating lecture on the conditions in Russia today. Also held here at the college was a series of lectures spon- sored by the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine. The plan was to introduce this organization and to explain its role on campus and in the parishes. Among the guest speakers was Mr. John O'Nei1l whose topic of discussion was The Motivating Factors of the C.C.D. In November the student body heard the Reverend William McCormack speak on the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. In his talk Father McCor- mack outlined the main purpose of the organization. On November 13, the International Re- lations Club and the college unit of the National Federation of Catholic College Students jointly sponsored a panel discus- sion on the Latin American countries. Our guest speaker, Father Cassidy, a Mary- knoll Missioner, sketched a vivid picture of Latin America today, covering such points as the economic and political life with their problems and possible solutions. Around the same time we were present at an address delivered by the Reverend James H. Flanagan. Father spoke on the opportunities of the lay apostolate in New Mexico. Before the close of this lecture, we were well aware of the mighty challenge which awaits the missionary zeal of col- lege students. 101
