Arts and Forum Series During their nineteenth touring season the compact and self-sufficient NATIONAL PLAYERS troupe arrived at Mary Manse on November fifth to give William Shakespearels '4Much Ado About Nothing. An enthusiastic audience greeted their flawless per- formance of a new three-act adaptation of the original comedy. Function and simplicity blended in profes- sionally styled sets and costumes to create the per- fect atmosphere for the matchless artistry of this fine company, a perennial favorite on the Mary Manse campus. Choral selections from the Works of Mozart, Bach and Brahms were featured in a program given by the BERLIN MOZART CHOIR on December second in Ursuline Auditorium. The a cappella children's choir, founded in 1922, was on its first American tour at the time. The thirty-six members of the Choir were Well-received by the Mary Manse audience and sang encores of familiar spirituals and other contem- norary pieces.

THE REVEREND ANDREW M. CREELEY, a lec- turer and research director at the University of Chicago, spoke on February 12th as the third feature on the Forum Series. Father Greeley's address re- flected his concern for the identity crisisv of the American Catholic Church. Outlining the problems, causes, and outcomes of the struggle to put the dic- tums of the Vatican Council into the Church in America, Father Greeley displayed broad background in sociological research. During a question-answer period which followed many informed listeners posed questions pertinent to F ather's comments. Of par- 9 ticular interest were Father Greeley's remarks on Catholic education, for which he conducted a four year study on parochial schools with Peter Rossi. THE REVEREND JOHN L. REEDY, the editor and publisher of Ave Maria magazine, finished the Forum Series with an exposition of Hlieligious Issues for the World of Tomorrow. The topical interest gener- ated by Father Reedy's talk produced many spon- taneous questions at the discussion period which followed.
