One would never think, to look at her dainty little person, that .she likes to delve into scientific problems. et, as a l)iology major, she consecrates many hours to .science. It is this love of .science as well as her talent in that field that won for her the j)osition of vice-presi- dent of the I.ouis Pasteur ( ' lub duriTig her .senior year. Despite her .scientific lean- ings, howev’er, Dorothy enjoys fun, revealed often in little rip])les of laughter, usually at some remark of the inimitable Helen Reardon, her elo.se friend and con- fidante. It is with reluctance that the (’ollege returns her to Quincy, the city she loves so well.

She is always brimming ov’er with enthusiasm for anything she under- takes, and this wholehearted endeavour is the secret of her success. It has been said that Mary combines the best traits of her Irish and German progenitors. At any rate, we are abundantly sii])plied with examjiles of her Irish wit and German level- headedness. To li.st Mary’s activities at Regis would require much time and sjiace, but we cannot omit a mention of her e.xcellence in .scholarshii) which foreshadows a success- ful career as a social service worker.

During our .lunior Year, a forlorn little straTiger came from the riiiversity of I’orto Rico and within a few short days this charming Si anish maiden captured our hearts by her gentleness, kindness, and sincerity. Her industrious application has won distinction for her in the Home Economies eonr.se. Indeed Emilia’s name has appeared on the Dean’s Li.st much to her credit. Reading is Emilia’s favorite ])astime and let it be known that Sininish writers are not nece.s.sarily her favorites! Soon this little demure maiden will return to the beantifid land of snnshine and Mowers, but the memory of her cpiiet, refined dignity will always remain with us.

It is our firm conviction tlnit nothing can disturl) the good-natured tranquillity of Maxine. The continual catastrophes of the chemistry laboratory such as minor explosions, burns, cuts, and holes made by acid Maxine aecei)ts calmly and cheer- fully, even when they make her tardy for history class! Smiling and debonair, she manages to win answering smiles from even the most cynical. Though always aj)- I)reciative of “the good things of life” she has consistently refused to abandon her characteristic .serenity for any great amount of enthusiastic activity. In no spirit of disparagement, we admit that Maxine has one “strong tendency,” and that is collecting biology s]X‘cimcns — a hobby that leads her into many peculiar situatio!is. If you feel in need of eutertainmeut some day, ask Maxine to tell you about some of these amusing incidents.

In a roomful of gig- gling, chattering clas.smates, she is oblivious to surrounding di.stractions. Helena accomjilishes things while her companions are merely talking of them. While Helena is scholarly and untiring in her efforts for succe.ss, she is neverthele.ss always ready to help others. I ' nlike some of the sociology students, Helena never grumbled about tho.se Saturday morning trijis to the Settlement House and to Ea.st Boston, while the less ambitious slumbered. In addition to her willingness to .sacrifice her time to social work, Helena’s natural kindne.ss and generosity fit her well for the career of social worker.

Marguerite never speaks out of turn and thereby is a welcome addition to any group. She and “(’hris” have been jials since Freshmen days and they may often he .seen driving off in “Margie ' s” Ford while the strains of .soft music float from the radio. Marguerite believes that a busy life in the hustle and bustle of the busine.ss world will fulfill her dreams of happiness.

While studies cannot be said to be Mary’s first interest, her .services are inval- uable to many projects becau.se of her clever drawings and posters.

Ibiahle to .sati.sfy herself with anything ' but the highe.st conr.se of thought and action, she never compronii.ses when she knows she is in the right. Naturally (piiet, Mildred .speaks her mind candidly when her opinion is called for, otherwise she holds her peace. Apparently solemn and di.stant she has nevertheless hosts of friends, all of whom have found her a lovable iiersonality and a .symjiathetic friend. If at times she .seems a little ob.stinate about changing her mind, we know that she is just that much more trn.stworthy and reluctant to betray confidence.

The motto of the ( lass, exi)ressed in the opening ])hrase of the song: — ( lass of is onl to tlo or die Come blaze our ideals in the sky!” is the invig ' oniting spirit which dominates the college days of this class. Registration Day, Sej)tend)er l(i, and the two con- fusing days that followed are recalled as an indistinct bhir; a period of adjustment during which Itells rang incessantly and unexpected flights of stairs loomed up at every corner. The first formal meeting of the class at the Ojtening Mass found the .student body a symphony of black and white, but the air of bewilderment surrounding the Freshmen distinguished them from all other clas.ses. The ne.xt week became a nightmare of misinterpreted direc- tions. It .seemed impo.ssible to cover the required number of stairs iii the limited interval between clas.ses but it was eommou knowledge that an elevator would soou alleviate this difficulty. At dinner on the first Saturday, Mary Downing, Eleanor Flynn and ’irginia Nadeau, with eharacteri.stic home town hospitality, invited everyone to their room for the evening. The verbal invitation included as .stipulations, “Dress informally and bring all the food you have.” Pickles, cake, crackers, and peanut butter were the predominant staples, but as no one was diet-con.scious at that date, all were con- sumed indi.seriminately. Above the strains of the vietrola intoning “(food-night Sweetheart,” almo.st continually could be heard the inquiry, “Where do you live?” “Oh, then you mu.st know So and So!” Perhaps the outstanding memory of the Fre.shman year is that of the forlorn Friday afternoons when u])per-elassmen having signed out for the week-end waved a nonehalaut good-bye to the students left at the college. Saturday morniug walks were arranged as a futile attempt at amusement but the Embassy Theater at Waltham always held a greater lure for the students, {)erhai)s because of the ae- eompauyiug five mile taxi ride with thirteen girls packed in a .seven j)a.s.senger car. On the Friday evenings during the first semester, entertainment was furnished by the upper clas.ses and the alumnae in turn. The Sojdiornores planned a spirited climax to the week of .stiff initiation. What meml)er of the class of ’.‘5.5 can forget that well conducted tour and the barefoot pilgrimage over the cold marble stairs? The mo.st ])rominent feature of the evening’s entertainment was a graceful spring dance by Fran. Ellis. As the Freshmen had been the recipients of gracious hospitality, a return of this ]()l fonliality was plamu ' d in tlie tonn of a circus to l)c given for tlic div ' crsion of llic entire college. The opening parade of jesters, clowns, and g,vi sy fortune tellers, was hrouglit to a trininpliant eonelnsion when the “Queen of the ( ' ireus,’’ Florence Uayfuse, resplendent in imitation ermine robe and gold crown, sang “When A|)j)les Grow on a Lilac Tree.” The chariot race, on roller skates, one of the leading events, I was won by the team, iMaxine Itnrke, Edith Powers, Ruth Miir])hy, and Lon Silvia. Refreshments of j)ink lemonade and peanuts brought the circus to a close as the !) bell rang. ! The famous Mis.sal Practice in Room .‘tfHi on Saturday evenings was excellent preparation for hearing Ma.ss intelligently as Father Fay, S. -1. remarked when he gave an ins])iring retreat in October 1931. The most famous asseml)ly occurred dur- ing the first week of May when the Dean made the momentous announcement that Freshmen resident .students henceforth would l)e granted week-end permissions. The corridors immediately resounded with .shouts of joy and the S])ring week-ends found the Freshmen visiting many places. At the crowning of the May Queen, the Freshmen attem|)ted the well remem- bered May Pole Dance which in conclusion ])roduced the farcical effect of a “droj) the handkerchief” game. The cla.ss picnic on A.sccnsion Thursday at Ilamidoii Reach was the official farewell party for the year. Then followed ( ' lass Day and the .step up which .symbolized one pace forward in schola.stic achievement. Further strains of the class song of 19.3.j gaily announce the theme of the Sopho- more year: — “tVe will will, we always C(m(|iier what we try While we cherish unity! ' ’ This .sj)irit was exemjtlified early in the year when the first college swimming meet at Walnut Park was won by the ( ' lass of ’35. Petty Lowney and Corinne Tondorf, s])iirred on by the ajtjtlan.se of their colleagues, were iu a large degree the decisive factors in the victory. The Fashion Show in March sjamsored by the Home Ficonomics ( ' lub revealed many hidden talents. Ruth (iordon and Patricia McDermott completely concealed their blithe sj)irits in the gui.se of demure brides of the late 19th century and Irene Mainini was a striking mannequin as the spirit of early costume. The cla.ss picnic in May at Field.ston afforded an oi)portunity for activities that arou.sed appetites which only a generous lunch could satiate. It was on this day that Julie Lynch made a mechanical discovery which later aided her in solving a prolilem in Dr. Gillis’ Fiducation class. She discovered that keys locketl inside one’s automo- bile may be retrieved only by removing the door of the car. It is still unknown, how- ever, how Julie accomplished this feat. The closing social event of the year was the Senior Spread at which the So])ho- mores were the proud guc.sts of their sister class to whom they must now bid fare- well. 10 .) Another slirrinfj; nuisiciil iiiterliulc iiiclu(!iii - tlie plirase: Onwiml, Oiiwanl, plodfied to loyalty I ' Orward, Foi v:ird, first in lioiiesty” announces that the ineinhers of tlie class of ' .‘Jo are now Juniors, stcjidfastly loyttl to Rcfi’is tnnlitions and ideals. It is now ineiunhent u])on them to j uide the Freshmen in Uefi ' is spirit and shield them through the diiys of initiation, adopting them as “hahy-sisters.” Filter, P.syehology became the eerie spirit which haunted the footsteps of the Juniors day and night and for the first time the “days of reckoning’’ became a ])hra.se full of meaning. Only Mary King was so little perturbed by this fear that she could slnndier })eaeefully through the lecture hour. The dramatic talent of the class was displayed in a comedy jire.sentation at the Christmas Tree wherein Ethel Ilalloran, Mary Thomas, and Evelyn Ryiin snp- jiorted Christine Curran in the title role “The Little Mistake.’’ As this play focn.sed intere.st on the foot-lights, a bus ride was soon planned and a J)arty organized to visit the Bo.ston Opera IIou.se. “Wilddower,’’ offered there by the Mt. St. Josejih Flayers, was viewed by the .student body with enthusiasm ecpialling that accorded the Bo.ston College (dec Club and Orche.stra at their annual visit to the college in . ])ril. Shane Leslie, visiting the college, enthralled his audience with a lecture on Irish literature and culture, and graciously gave the students at their reipiest auto- graphs in Latin, Gaelic, and English, as a memory of his magnetic personality. The sjiirit of gaiety electrifying the air with the advent of Aju-il signified the approach of the long-anticipated Junior M eek. The comjietent direction of INIary Bchlen, as general chairman, insured five days of joyous frivolity for all. The week was introduced by the opening Mass and Commnnion breakfast. The corridors echoed with laughter and lingering melody from the informal rendition of college songs, during that delightful occasion, the Faculty dinner to Juniors. On M’edne.sday the mothers were graciously entertained at a bridge and tea at which the Juniors acted as ho.stesses. The night of nights arrived! Ranny Meeks played the introduc- tion for the promenade: once, twice, three times and .still no reaction, for the leaders were frantically searching for the mi.ssing boiupiet. Perhajis those flowers were .stand- ing guard with the men’s favors which arrived two weeks later, although many es- corts have rejiorted that tho.se famous clocks are .still a figure of fiction. Such trifles were forgotten in the delights to follow and the gala week was climaxed by a tea dance on Saturday. On Founders’ Day, October ' ■2, the members of the cla.ss of were vested with the robes of seniority, the caj) and gown. Almost immediately the entire class evidenced .serious interest in either teaching or social work. M ' edne.sday mornings became a furious whirl of activity as .students rushed to make the bus connecting 1(h; with Boston trains at Riverside. Helena ( ' ahill, Helen Reardon, Alice ReBo.ssiere and others eonld tell many interesting incidents of ' social welfare, hiit none aroused such lively discussion as the fate of the famous dog, “Reggy.” The field work in the pedagogical line was less exciting, hut many of tho.se doing practice work showed ])romise of a brilliant future as teachers. Eileen Smith’s p()j)ularity in .sewing class was immediate when one yonng.ster di.scovered that AIi.ss Smith demanded less rip- ping and repetition than did Mary Buckley, who had been teaching them formerly. Life at the college in all spheres was .saddened in November when “The Little M an,” Maxie, received fatal injuries in a valiant battle with a red fox. No ma.scot can ever replace Maxie in the affections of Regis students, as was expres.sed in the obituary publi.shed in an issue of the The Reyis- Herald. One of the mo.st delightful characters who visited the college during the year was IMrs. Anton Lang. She was cliarming in her native costume, as she related inter- esting facts about the Pa.s.sion Play at Oberammergau, in which she had appeared as Mary Alagdalen. The ( ' hri.stmas .season ijre.sented an opj)ortunity for a display of all hidden talent, in a variety of ways. In the Senior ( ' hri.stmas play, “The King’s Jongleur” Evelyn Ryan gave a spirited i)erformance as the leading character, supported by Mary Thomas as the haughty Lady Prideful; and with Mary Lynch as the Bles.sed Mother in the supplementary tableau. The Glee (’Inb and Orche.stra were an added attraction on this enjoyable program of entertainment. The last night spent at the college lad ' ore (’hri.stmas marked the j)eak of the joyous holiday .season. At midnight, the Seniors, majestic in caj) and gown, .sang carols throughout the building, bringing the day to an appropriate climax on the parterre where confetti mingled with the applause of undercla.ssmen. (’ommunism and Social Ju.stice are terms which will always be interpreted from an ethical standpoint by the class of and remain an out.standing memory of the Ethics class. Amusing inciflents were also numerous l)ut the culmination of mirth was reached during a musical discussion by the misinterpretation of Elizabeth We.ssling’s suggestion to the gronj) to consider the .selection “Waltz Me Around .Vgain Willie.” Eather Daly was introduced to the ])arents and the friends of Regis studeTits in March at the Senior ( ' lass Parents’ Night, an affair which was enjoyed by ])arents and students alike. A bridge party at Regis Hall s])onsored by the Senior (’lass was one of the lead- ing events on the social calendar of the year. This was only one evidence of the splendid cooperation whieh the staff ' of the Mount Regis received throughout the year. The usual reluctance felt njion the return to clas.ses was noticeably lacking after Ea.ster vacation becau.se on this occasion Regis welcomed the Fordham (ilee Club to the college for their initial visit. A similar evening’s entertainment was enjoyed a week later when Bo.ston C’ollege presented their annual concert. 107 ' Flic final gala week of eollege life for the class of H).‘5.5 is ai)i)roaeliiiig its close. ' Fhe ( ' oninieneeiiuMit i)lay, ‘‘l{ol)in Hood,” was a treinendons success with Kvelyn ' an, M ary Hehlen, and Mary Marley in leading roles. Uaeealanreate Sunday is a vital ineinory, a day the ee.stasy of which can never he recaptured. Only the Senior ”S])read” remains as a farewell preceding the solemnity of ( ’oimneneeinent Day when the aims and ainhitions of four years will he realized. Hnt ( ' oinineneenient will not sever the atleetionate bond which attaches student and eollege, and the Regis spirit will ever he a guiding l)eaeon as: .VIma Mater spurs us ou to .search for kiiowlege Stand and cheer for Kstiiek M. Don.vihtjo Class Prophecy ScEX?:: Regis ( ' olU ' ge ( ' anijMis in Occasion: The dedication of a new building inelnding an Anditorinin, gyinnasiuni, and swimming pool for which the funds had been donated by the class of 1US . Louisa Silvia ' s husband, an architect, not without her assistance, planned the beautiful edifice. Through the morning, cars whizzed uj) the poj)lar drive bringing members from the cla.ss of twenty years ago. How the poplar drive has changed ! Do you remem- ber how it looked in thirty-five? Mildred Donahue did not forget but rather, having actpiired skill in tree growing and nursing, lent her first care to the po])lars. They are now tall healthy, and stately, while she is enjoying precedence over Luther Burbank among Botanical .Vuthorities. Helen Reardon, the first of our classmates to arrive, is welcomed by her niece, a Junior smartly attired in the college frock of Krances Connelly ' s design. Some years ago the latter .su])er.seded Mary Riley, .seamstress of our day. Helen is still as fond of the niece as in our Senior year, so fond indeed, that .scorning all offers of marriage, she has devoted her life, as a doting old-maid aunt, to her niece ' s care. With .Vunt Helen is Doctor Dorothy Ash bearing herself very imjiortantly as she has a right to. Since she has become head surgeon at the (ireat National Hospital all other leading surgeons have faded into oblivion. In fact one of her college-mates, . nna Bollatto, was so jiroud of her and .so eager to further Dorothy ' s medical fame that she has willingly sacrificed her life and ambition under this doctor ' s knife in a vital crisis, dying a martyr to .science. The two early arrivals stoj) at the Bulletin Board to read the Rc( i.s‘ Herald the twentieth century anniver.sary edition, po.sted theron. Among its jiages they learn much about their colleagues: — Mary Carroll, commercial artist for Donnelly .Vdver- tising ( ' ompany, has .sketched a picture of Regis with its new additions. Mary ' s talent displayed in poster-making at Regis is now widely recognized. The front page bears the news of the arrival of a French noble and his wife, the former Elizabeth Shea, in Bo.ston for the imjiortant occasion. Anyone can recall the brilliant wedding of hdizabeth in a French ( ' athedral a few years after her graduation. We always feel that she mu.st have met the gentleman during her .stay in France while a Junior at College. With this thought, we recall some of our early brides, Ruth Gordon, in June then Edith Powers who was first to get her ring. One column of the paper is devoted to the wonderful work of Helena Cahill now in full charge of the ( ' ahill, formerly known as the ( ' atherine Moore, Settlement House where she has not only the Senior, but all the Sociology .students from Regis 110 every day in tlie week. A large suni of money to enable her to earry on the work is furnished by a well known philanthropist from Detroit. No, not Henry Ford for he had been ealled to his reward; but Margaret Lally more than fills his place. Surely her e. i)erience while driving four years to .sehool has been a great help in sngge.sting the new features and comforts of her ear, the DeLuxe.” ( ' a.sting their eyes through the advertisement section, the girls notice a large ad from the International Novelty and Favor ( ' ompany guaranteeing punctnality and prorn])t delivery of favors to colleges all over the country. It is endorsed by the projmietress, Grace Moran, who as a Junior had been keen enough to realize that a ca])able, trn.stworthy favor concern conld make large profits. Gongratulations to the Herald in its Twentieth Anniversary” have been .sent by the McI)ermott-( ' nrry Orche.stra which is enjoying a ten-year contract for the Regis Junior Proms. Claire Cas.sell is advertising her i)hotograi)hic .studio. By bitter experience she had learned that a jdiotographer who wonld con.scientionsly regard a contract wonld be gladly accepted l y college yearbooks. Now Claire has the contracts. Another adverti.sement shows that Mary R. Curran has taken over the whole Cottrel and Leonard Bureau of Academic Co.stume. iVIary Lynch is soliciting in this section; the supply in her .second-hand book .store on Corn Hill is dwindling and she can not bear the thought of j)arting from it. A well-known pharmacist at the instigation of his wife, Julia Lynch, also has a sub.scription in this department. The country wide golf champion Bernadine Sullivan has taken a large space to encourage backward golfers in her art. On the literary ])age Evelyn Ryan has written a long e.s.say entitled The Triumph of German.” She is no v the leading German .scholar in the United States. Her texts are used in many of the high .schools where, applying for a position, she had been turned away. Catherine Higgins, the well-known head of the English de- partment at Wellesley has contributed an article, A Tribute to My ( ' ollege.” Des- j)ite her multiple duties — supervi.sing college papers and yearbooks (which you may be sure are well done) Catherine does not forget her Alma Mater. As they peru.se the news, they recognize Mary Thomas coming down the cor- ridor, a typical dignified profe.ssor. Mary, as you know, has taken her Master of Arts Degree at Oxford and returned to Regis voluntarily to teach American History for the first .semester. She is hu.stling to meet her friends hoping that ( ' orinne wdll be able to spare the time to come, (’an you picture (’orinne as a bu.sy mother so en- gulfed in the care of the home and children that she has absolutely shaken all out- side intere.sts. Such she is. Her oldest child is now attending Pauline Sullivan’s finish- ing .school at Greylock Hill. As to her other chums, Mary exi)res.scs doubt whether or not Betty Lowney will be there. Her husband is a very exacting and domineering character, very apt to tell Betty to .stay at home. If he does, she will not dare to object. Besides Mary Thomas there are other members of ' .‘5.5 among the officials of Regis. Irene Mainini has taken over the (’afeteria. In general the food is all right 111 hut soiiu-tiiiK ' s we liear IIumt arc coiiiplainls. .lulia Mur|)liy is filliiiff a lu-w position as sc ' CTotary to the Dean.

This solemn thought is interrupted hy a loud hnmming sound in the iipjier air. Looking np they behold an aerojilane cutting figures and writing in the clouds Regis l!),‘k5.” Many })eo|)le rush down to the Athletic Field to ob.serve the land- ing. Ont of the cockpit spring ratherine Mct ' arthy and Katherine O ' tirady, chani|)- ion flyers. While at .school they had managed to keej) both feet upon the ground but soon after leaving had certainly soared to lofty heights. They announce that the jirevions week they left Katherine Shield in Hollywood with a promi.se that she will surely arrive for the 19. ' ).) dedication of the new building, even if a little late. She may be detained for the censorshi]) of Warner Brothers’ latest production. On jirobably know that she is snjierintendent of the A])ostolic Censorship Board of the world. They have also .seen Eileen Doherty ont on the coast where she is training child actors and actrcs.ses. Eileen always did love children. Little ALary Little the Shirley ' I ' emple of the Fifties” is her special favorite, ' et these are not the only members of their class that they have seen in the cross-country flight, for .stopping at a farm in a secluded valley of the ( ' atskills they found Mary Marley raising goats. She learned while at school that I’cter Bent Ifrigham Hospital had a contract for a number of (piarts of milk which no one could fill. Now she can not only for that one hospital but for many others in the Ea.st. In Worcester, Massachusetts, they have visited Marguerite Li.ston’s Sandwich Shoppe. Marguerite always being thoughtful of the Holy Cro.ss boys has established a sort of dinette” where they can curb their ajijie- tites. .Vtteution turns once again to the gathering throng among whom Western I nion boys sipiirm, bringing telegrams of Good Wishes from various ports from Washington, Mary King sends her regards. .Vs Speaker of the Hou.se she can- not leave in the midst of an important debate on Women’s Rights. From Fort Kent, Maine, irginia Nadeau telegrajihs. We had always thought that V irginia would leave that little hamlet but in.stead she has .stayed, taken uj) Law, and formed a large Law Corporation. .Vt least she has kept somewhat in contact with the great world going on around her; for occasionally one of her cases goes to the Su])reme Court in Washington for the final judgment of Chief .fu.stice Ruth Murphy. Remem- bering Ituth’s decisive and emphatic answers in class we are not snrpri.sed to find her in this jiosition. In Washington also is Rose Manley, superintendent of the Federal Crime ( ' ommission. So intensely interested was she in the big crimes of in2 l indhergli versus Ilauptinaii, Milieu and Fal)er, and the deeapitation of tlie female spies in (Germany that it is no shoek to find her eapahly filling her post - advoeating adecjuate, definite, and expeditious ])uuishment for all criiniiials, male and female. From the country of the “Reds” comes a letter Mary Downing as a result of research study while trying to convince the Itussians that their social and economic problems can be better solved by (’hristian h thies, does not want her Regis friends to think that she has forgotten them. .Vs the tower clock .strikes ten, all as.semble in front of the new building. On the top .stej) stands the .speaker of the day, Mi.ss Mary Ruckley. Haj)pening luckily to be in Boston while on a lecture tour, she is (lelighted to officiate at the grand event. We did not expect to find Mary in this occupation, but her oratorical alnlity was not to be latent forever. Di.scovering her talent she has taken courses in public speaking at Margaret ( ' allahan ' s School of Declamation. When Margaret’s .school l)ecanie too large to handle alone she summoned as aid her ela.ssmate. Marguerite ( ' allahan, to help drill in Oral Expre.ssion. Today their mo.st famous pupil is our gue.st speaker. The topic she has eho.sen is: “(’atholic ( ' ollege Students Lead the World.” .Vmong eminent i)ersons she names:— Emilia Bou, a national authority on j)olitieal and social que.stions in Porto Rico; Virginia Tague down working among the Negroes in the South where, the v .say, she loves the little pickaninnies and has done outstanding work among their folk; iVIary Fay, al)le director of Foreign Service by virtue of her skill in Si)anish and French; Frances Ellis who as medium for Father Daniel Lord has inaugurated an International (’onfederation of Sodalities for ( ' atholic ( ' ollege (lirls. Ju.st beeau.se Frances did not adverti.se her religion is no reason she had none as she has proved. Eleanor Flynn after considerable study of the problem of Communism has conceived the idea of touring the country in a movable lecture hall modelled on David Goldstein’s ( ' hurch on wheels. Her endeavors are i)roving a source of enlightenment to the {X ' ople on the evils of the ( ' ommunistic theory. Even Scientists of note claim some of our number,” our noted orator remarks. Maxine Burke and Margaret Ferriter in the .seclusion of Harvard’s Laboratory are working upon .secret problems of .science, ho])ing to make a valuable di.scovery soon. The danger of their work is learned from the fact that they have recently taken out more life insurance from Mary Behlen, who the day after Graduation was offered an important position with the John Hancock Company, becau.se they realized her fpialities of .salesmanship and management. Or perhaps the extra insurance is be- cause of a certain fortune-teller, Catherine Carroll, who at a recent church lawn party read in the cards that they might soon be involved in a terrible explosion. .Vnd so at length the speaker ])roves her j)oint. When she finishes the floors are opened so that peojfle might view within the grand .structure. As they pass on, friends of long ago may be seen gathering as in former groups or looking for their old groups. Not far distant, is Florence Rayfu.se the nightingale of the air, and with her Eliza- beth Wesling whose po])ular busine.ss .school has forced Katharine Gibbs to close her doors. Esther Donahue, confidential advisor to a western radio j)riest passes by, n.‘! 1 and Katlu ' riiu ' Mc’Kcniia still adluTing ' strictly to a iiiucli discussed diet, and now Superintendent ol‘ the Hnrean ol ' Foods enl ' oreinf ' pure food laws and their |)enallies I ' or inijn-oper mixture ol ' foods is not far distant. Ethel Ilalloran, otlieial corrector of ( ' ollege Hoard Examinations has taken a few hours from her nerve-racking oeeni)a- tion in order to he on hand. Now with Virginia ( ' larke, who has given vent to her ath- letic leanings hy taking over the training of gym teachers at the Sargent School, she is seeking the rest of her friends. ( hri.stine Curran and Eileen Smith are talking with a gronj) near-hy among whom are ( ' atherine Donovan and Catherine DiHanfilo, two well known court stenogra])hers. Their Ethics profe.ssor had given them a fine recommendation in deference to the copious notes on Coimnnni.sm that they had taken in class, d ' he conversation now turns to Ruth O’Keefe cloistered within the walls of the (iood Shej)herd Convent and Margaret McDonald laboring in the distant lei)cr colony at Molokai. Almost every one else has been here today. Many are gone now, this being the last grouj) left. Eileen Smith is the first to move away. On know,” she says, “my husband is (piite di.sturbed if his meals are the least bit late, and the youngsters grow cranky, so I imist go along.” Christine smiles, ‘A on were so determined to live your life independently!” And yon as well,” laughs Eileen, “never to {)lay another game of bridge after yon left .school; and what is more to leave Hangor immediately. Hnt today yon are not oidy Hangor’s leading society woman, but the I’resident of the ti)wn ' s bridge Club. Th e irony of Fate!” One by one they disperse, each once again to her road in life. Silence s])reads over the campus as the golden red smiset falls gloriously u|)on the buildings, new and old, of Regis College. RoiiKUT.V C. M. C1)0N.

A. Patricia McDermott 117 Tree Oration (hi crcrj! hcujhi irltile time shall hr Shall lire (hr [ilonj of a Tree. One of tiu ' lovelic ' st ol ' our eolleg( tradilions is tlu ' oiu ' that we follow today iu j)lauting this small tree. Here wluu ' e its slim beauty may gladden the hearts of the Sisters whose lives are s])eut that we may learn and love and live more ])erfeetly; here in the shadow of the walls within whose kindly shelter we have s])ent four brief hap|)y years; here where we should love to linger, we leave this living symbol of our love for our eollege- a love that will, like this young tree, wax strong and grow eaeh year more beautiful. This little tree re])resents for us far more than the mere fulfillment of a lofty tradition. It symbolizes more j)erfeetly than any other living being our hopes, onr ambitions, and our ideals as well as onr gratitude to tho.se who have guided ns through the labyrinthine ways of college. Onr own ambitions as a class and as individuals strongly resemble onr ho])es for the tree we ])lant today. May our college memories remain as fresh and green and fragrant in onr hearts as the leaves of onr tree in summer; may we “blaze our ideals in the sky” as gloriously as autumn will dye its leaves; may our lives be as ])iire as the snow that will rest on its branches in winter; may we so live emr lives that when onr days are spent, we shall rise into life everlasting, even as with each successive ' spring our tree, after its winter death, (piiekeiis, growing in new vigor and beauty. Besides rei)re.senting our ideals and ambitions, the tree th.at we ])lant today synd)olizes perfectly that ideal without which onr lives are in vain, an ideal that we learned as children, that we came to understand more ftdly during our college years, and that we hope will become the motivating force behind all that we do in life. That ideal is love of (Jod and of one another. A tree is made up of trunk and branches. .Vnd while its roots are buried deej) in the earth it looks toward heaven, growing ever taller and closer to heaven. Its branches stretch out on either side like arms of friendly greeting as we hold out our hands in token of friendshii) for one another. Thus through the form that He has given to trees.

Iid ' ornial meetings in the friendly atmosphere of Regis Hall are open to all students interested in hooks and in the exchange of ifleas on literature, old and new. At our Xovemher Tea, we di.scussed the life of those immortal jjoets and lovers, the Brownings, as .seen in Hesier’s drama The Barreitfi of W impale Street and in irginia Wolfe’s biography, Fhtfth. A December lecture was given by Mr. Thomas Sullivan, Librarian of the Cambridge Public Library, on book .selection. In January, M i.ss Anna Kuhn, addressing our members in the interest of the Catholic Literary Revival, commented on Belloc, Knox, ( ' laudel, and Gheon. Two modern American playwrights, Philip Barry and Eugene O’Neill, were compared at our February meeting. The colorful career of Lady Blanche Murphy, daughter of the Earl of (iainsborough, was sketched for us in IVIarch by Mi.ss Eliza- beth McXamee. Our last meeting gave each member an opportunity to j)reseiit a thumbnail sketch of her favorite l)ook and contribute to a bibliography of titles suggested for the summer’s reading. 149 Home Economics Club I ‘res id nil Katherine V.

The first meeting of the year took i)laee in the scientific atmosphere of the laf)oratory, wliere demonstration lectures were given and ])apers read by members of the club. The meeting was followed in December by a similar science ])rogram ])re.sented by other members. While both of these meetings were well attended, the January meeting was of universal interest and the entire .student body attended. The ])rogram was an illustrated lecture on The Unman Hand and flic Part If Plays in Life ' s Success, given by Dr. Thomas Broderick, Orthopedic Surgeon-in-( ' hief of St. Elizabeth’s Hospital at Brighton, iVra.ssachu.setts. Subject- matter was varied at the Felu-iiary meeting by the presentation of a talking ])icture The House of Vision conducted by Mr. ' incent D. Reardon. .Vs a complement to Dr. Broderick’s lecture, iMiss Eleanor Mc.Vuliffe in February gave an illustrated lecture on The Hand in Art. In March the club program fell again into the hands of the .students, who i)re.sented .several skits, including a comedy entitled .1 Scientific Treatise on U ' ater. It was in .Vi)ril that the club’s activities came to a climax with the long ])lanned Science Exhibition, which lasted from .V])ril .‘5rd to .Vpril .5th. In connection with the exhibit, moving ])ictures on the hi.story of the telephone were pre.sented by Mr. Eugene (’ronin, and a lecture on Foods given by Mi.ss Helen Quinn, Regis ’3.3, from the Edison Friendly Kitchen. 151 Ethelon Club Prefihlcnt ...

' .saj All old Irish I ' ahlc tells of a king who was troubled from time to time with sharji jiams m his head. .Vt last he decided to seek advice. He ( died m a tool, a soothsayer, and a sage to advise him as to what he should do to alleviate Ids sulteriug. When he had gathered the three together, he told them ol his ills, arid sought their advice. Turuiug first to the fool, he asked an opinion. “You have pains in your head?” Yes,” rejilied the King. What shall I do?” ( ' lit off your head,” answered the fool, and you’ll have no more trouble with it.” The king then dismis.sed the fool, seeking shortly after, the advice of the sooth- sayer. Said the latter: “Seek to become iutere.sted in other matters — lumtiug, or some other diversion. If your mind be not ever on your suffering, biif uiioii ofher things, you will cease to think ol your jiams. iMeauwlule, they may disappear uatur- ally.” rusatisfied with this, the king turned to the sage, who said, In my opinion, it is necessary first to .seek the cau.se of your jiains. And, having found the can.se, we shall endeavor to remove it, if that be [lo.ssible.” . nd, continues the fable, it is recorded that the sage at length found the cau.se of the Jiains, namely that the king’s crown, being of solid gold, was too lieaivy and too tight-fitting. Wherenjion the sage urged the king to di.scard his crown, and wear one of lighter weight. This the king did, and his jiains soon disappeared. While this old legend may .seem irrelevant, it nevertheless serves to illustrate the jiresent world economic situation. There is undoubtedly something radically wrong in the world today, and though there are many differences of ojiinion as to how the disease may be cured, there is jiractically universal agreement on the diagnosis of the disease itselt. Just as the fool, the sootlrsayer, and the .sage accejited the basic tact that the king had jiains in his head, so all thinking jieojile are agreed as to the symjitoms of the jiresent world- wide economic distress. These symjitoms are concretely and sjiecifically illustrated by statistics which are the result of a thorough and .scientific inve.stigation condu cted by the federal government of the United States. Since they have been checked by comjietent authorities, we have every reason to believe that they are accurate. In America today (i0% f the nation’s wealth is in the hands of ' i% of the jieojile .‘5.1% of the wealth is in the hands of 315% of the jieojile; and 5% of it is owned by (i. 1 % of the jieojile. 167 How c ' lo(|UC ' nt llieso statistics arc; how clearly they tell the symi)toiiis of Ameri- ca ' s economic disease. They show heyond the shadow of a douhl that most of tlu wealth of the country is controlled by a s( ' leet few; that the meaf er amount left is ])aret‘lled out among tlu ' many. When . % of the wealth is i)areelled out among ( • % of the ])eo])le, either one of two things is possible. Fiitlu ' r every ])crson in that vast multitude obtains a more or le.ss ecpial share of that small amount of wealth, aiid all suffer e(|ually, unable to sustain life on such a meager |)ortion; or, some of the multi- tude obtain enough to live on, and tlu others get nothing, or almost nothing. It is as if a child tossed a handful of crumbs to a tloek of birds. The strongest and the fastest snatch tin- crumbs; the others must turn away. For even in this meager .)% of the wealth the same forces of predatory individualism are operative: a few of the multitude — the fastest, the .stronge.st, the ablest — gain control of their 5% allot- ment; the others turn empty-handed away. d ' he inevitable corollary of this imetpial and unjust distribution of wealth is the gradual disa])pearanee of the middle class; a few of its members successful in climb- ing into the thin ranks of the plutocracy; tlu ' majority sinking into the serried r.mks of the i)overty-strieken mas.ses. With the nnecpial distribution of wealth, humanity has divided into two social classes: a very small class, the directors of industry, enjoying all the advantages that money eaii give them — luxury, pre.stige, j)ower -and a very large class forced to subsist on the most Ttieager of necessities. This latter class may be sub-divided in its turn. Its two component elements are: (1) those who are unable through their own efforts to earn enough to su])|)ly the necessities of life, and are forced to aec(‘i)t starvation or charity, and (‘•2) those who can obtain a living wage. These statements, too, are supj)orted by statistics gathered in a national sur- vey. There are today in the United States, eleven million unem])loyed. There are twenty-two millions now on the dole. There are two sadly ironic features in this situation. The first is, as has often been said before, that this starvation and ])overty exists in the midst of plenty.” The .second is that the man who is today fortunate enough to have work is indispensable to his wealthy employer. Without the eo- o])eratiou of labor, the plutocrat could not have amas.sed his ])rofits. Yet the worker who has helped in the building up of his employer’s immen.se fortune has him.self no share in it. He mu.st either accept the wages and conditions laid down by his em])loy- er, or join the masses who have no employment. The unem])loyed — that is, those who.se idleness is forced ui)on them by a cruel economic .system- and the employed, who.se lot is far from enviable, together form a class far su])crior in numbers to the idutoeracy. Despite its suj)eriority iu iiund)ers, however, labor is, under existing conditions, unable to improve its .status becau.se all the weapons by which a change in favor of labor might be affected, are in the hands of labor’s enemies, the capitalists. The old phra.se money talks,” though trite, is true. Not only does money talk it cries out its importance with force and power. Its stormy bursts of oratory are 108 lieanl at all political conventions; it whispers in the ears of those who fovern the nation; aTid it shrieks its doctrines from the press of the lainl. Should the voter wish to elect for “overnor or for president someone who he feels inif ht ameliorate workin f conditions, he has a very difficult, a well-uiffh im- j)ossil)le task because of the present system of elections. In order actually to |)artiei- pate in the nomination of a candidate for governor or for president, the worker him- •self must receive these votes; he must conduct a eam])aign in his eomimmity -a campaign which is ordinarily very expensive. The worker has, in the majority of ea.ses, no sur]jlu.s money that he may invest in so risky an undertaking as a political campaign. If he cannot him.self finance his campaign, he must seek financial support from someone who has a very siz.eable amount of money. In nine ca.ses out of ten, this financial “backer” would be himself a moneyed man, a ])lutocrat. Is it likely that he would finance the political campaign of one who he knows is oj)j)o.sed to an economic .system which has been so advantageous to himself? The answer is obvious. The result of this system is that the majority of tho.se who nominate the governor or the ])resident at any Convention, except the Socialist Convention, are either wealthy in their own right or repre.sent wealth. As is natural theychoo.se a candidate who, like themselves, is of the cla.ss that favors the pre.sent economic .system. In fact, in every presidential election, it is the candidate who s])ends most on his campaign, who is victorious in the election. In short, the ordinary worker has no real say in elections, exce])t to cast a vote for a wealthy Repuf)lican or an equally rich Democrat, or to prote.st again.st the ])resent .system by adding his vote to the growing number of Socialist votes. If the laborer is .still undi.scouraged after .seeing his failure to elect a i)rcsident or a governor who repre.sents views comj)lying with the be.st interests of labor, he may still think to better his social and economic status by appealing to the govern- ment for ecpiitable labor legislation. But the national government, and, to a lesser degree, the State government, is controlled by men, who were put in office by caj)ita- lists. Is it through the favor of the capitali.sts that they have their offices, that they line their ])ockets. Is it likely that they will enact any laws favorable to labor and thus necessarily di.s])leasing to the wealthy group of men who put them in office? . gain, the answer is obvious. Even the mo.st idealistic of them know, to use au inelegant expre.ssion, “which side their bread is buttered on.” They must choo.se lietween their own positions and their idealism. Ordinarily they choo.se the former. There are two other weapons of which the laf)orer might conceivably make use: the press and the union. In the case of the j)ress, the laborer nms uj) again.st the same difficulties that confronted him in the political field. The editing of a newspaper is an expensive undertaking. Newspapers are suj)ported not by the two cents that millions of readers jjay for them, but by its advertisers who are, j)ractically all, dyed-in-the-wool capi- tali.sts, inimical to any pro-lal)or j)rogaganda that might injure their interest. Natura- ally, both the news and its interj)retation mu.st not offend the.se adverti.sers, for their 1()9 (iislavor or wit lidrawal ol support would 1 k ' disastrous to tlic lu ' wspapcu’, and would |)rol)al)ly result iii bankruptcy. Every seiiteuee written in a lu ' wspaper uiiist eoiiloriu to the policy dic ' tated by the real powt ' r In ' liiud the jiress eapitalisin, uiire ‘ulat(‘(l, eut-throat eaiiitalisin. d ' he laborer ' s other weaixm, the ruiou, has not been (piite so inefleetive as the ( ther two, the goveruiueiit and the press; it has been largely inst ruineutal in efl ' eet- ing the |)assage ol ' some laws which theoretically have bettered labor eouditioiis. Nevertheless it has been far from successful in its fundamental aims. This is largely because at jiresent only 10% ol the country ' s workers have organized in labor unions. ' File other !K)% of labor has been afraid to organize for either one or both of two reasons: (1 ) that membership in a union means that one has to accejit oidy a job which will pay the minimum wage set by the union. If it is impo.ssible to attain this wage, the laborer must resign him.self to unemployment. The worker very justifiably believes that a small wage is preferable to no wage. .Vnd so, he refu.ses to join the union. ( ' •2) The I ' nion also involves the j)ossibility of strikes. Either through his own sad exj)erience in the ])ast, or through that of others, the laborer has come to realize that ])rolonged strikes mean oidy hardshij) to himself and his family. More- over, they are seldom successful. besides these two basic obstacles in the way of the 10f % organization of labor, there is the o])en ho.stility of the government to strikes, a hostility resulting only too often in illegal strike-breaking by the i)olice. Such are economic conditions in the Tinted States today. Two sharjily divided classes, a few, owning mo.st of the wealth, enjoying all the benefits their wealth can buy them; a multitude, poorly paid, if at all, unalile to share in the profits which they thcm.selves with their labor have helped to build up. Hecau.se their wages are so low, their imrchasing power is inadequate to enable them to buy the surjilus goods liroduced by the capitalists. d ' he cajiitali.st will do little or nothing to alter the economic situation in favor of labor. To do so would mean too great a sacrifice of jirofits, and of his own interest. ' File idealistic cajiitalist who may want to raise the wages of his employees and bet- ter their economic and social status is hampered in the carrying out of his plan, for if he raises labor ' s wages, his competitors will undersell him, and force him out of busiue.ss. While the ca])ilali.st will not do anything to better the situation, largely because he does not desire any cha nge in it, the laborer, who would like to change it, cannot because his only weaj)ons have been either taken away from him or made entirely ineH ' ective by ca])italists. In other words, we have an intrenched economic dictator- ship of wealth. The above facts ])aint the j)re.sent day situation in the United States. Though conditions may differ to a greater or le.s.ser degree in other countries, they are funda- mentally the same, for they are the result of the .same forces. For the past few years, e.s])ecially during the years following the “crash of 17(1 Octohc-r, lit-i!), the remedies for these ai)palling conditions have been the concern of every thinkiii”’ man and woman. ' olnmes have been written by economists, histori- ans, and i)hilosopliers of all political beliefs suggesting remedies for the world’s economic ills. Before ontlining and evaluating here the three ])rincipal r emedies that have beem offered, it is well to follow the plan of the old sage who cured the king’s pains, and .seek the causes of this economic crisis. To find the cause of the evil, it is necessary to trace the .stages in the devcloj)- ment of capitalism, the .sy.stem that has created these economic wrongs. We shall review briefly the rise of ca])italism. Modern capitalism is a direct outgrowth of the Industrial Revolution. Towards the eiul of the eighteenth century in England, somewhat later in other countries, .several factors combined to bring about a radical change Iti industry. Foremost among the factors that ])rccipitated the Industrial Revolution was the raj)id series of inventions of machines for u.se in industry. But what made the u.se of the.se machines practical in industry was the invention of the steam engine, providing the motor force to drive the machines; the improved methods in Tiielting and rolling the iron that was to go into the making of the machines; and the develo])- ment of the u.se of coal that was made cheaper and more aece.ssible by the improved methods of ])um])ing water out of mines, sinking shafts, and bringing the coal to the surface. Without any one of these things the growth of mammoth inciustries coulil hardly have taken place. But to buy these machines and use them in industry, great sums of money were neces.sary. Obviously, tho.se who had been carrying on small .scale manufacture in their homes were unable to buy the.se expensive machines. Due to recent plundering exijeditions into other lands, and to the carrying on of profitable foreign trade by English and continental merchants, the sums of money necessary to build factories and use machines were at hand. These merchants, .seeking profitable inve.stment, promptly e.stablished great factories, and were able to employ the vast multitude of disinherited farmers who had flocked to the cities some years before-, and were then idle and di.scontented. Dazzled by the prospect of the ])otential fortunes that could be made iu these factories, and seeing that the idle city dwellers were so desperately in need that they would accept almo.st any conditions, thc.se new cai)italists from the very out.set, paid starvation wages to their employees. Because of the fact that the itidu.stries were too large to allow any jK-rsonal contact between emi)loyer and employee, such as there had hitherto been between master and apj)rentiee, the emjdoyer could (piite callously cxjdoit his laborers. With the application of .steam to transportation — the .steamboat and the rail- road — in the thirties and forties, and the resultant ea.se and rapidity of transmitting goods from manufacturer to consumer, industry could furnish goods for wider and wider markets. Subsequent perfection of means of communication the telegraph, cable, telephone, and wirele.ss — were a new imj)etus to the Industrial Revolution, iu that they made it possible to gauge the condition of the world market and cater to 171 vorI(l- vi(li‘ tu ' t ' ds. Meanwhile diseoveries of f old in America and Australia, later in the Klondike, created new wealth to he snnk in industry. And all the times the hreaeh was widenin ' helween eai)ital and its “Tiiad race for profits,” and labor, forced to acee])l low wages in order to keej) the “wolf away from the door.” I ntil the end of the World War, the outlook for the ea])italist washright. Daily, weekly, yearly, he was .securing new home and foreign markets for his goods. ' I ' liere was a steady How of money into his well-filled coffers. .Vnd either he eonld not or would not see the mi.sery of his workers. If, hy chance, any of his workers had the temerity to complain, he promptly told them that there were many other men ready and willing to .step into his i laee the men who.se work was now done hy machines. After the World War, however, the ca])itali.st hegan to he a hit nneasy. Econo- mic conditions were such in war-torn Europe, that Euro])eans eonld not afford to hny manufactured articles from abroad. As time went on, the foreign eonntries, to rehnild their own shattered economic systems, hegan in a spirit of nationalism, to encourage home industries; to do this, they built high tariH ' walls. And the countries who had ])revionsly sold them goods, especially the I nited States and England, were obliged to kee]) out. Thus, the foreign markets, once so rich, wereclo.scd to outsiders. ow, the capitalist’s only chance to sell his goods lay in the home market, and in such backward countries as were not able to produce enough to supply their own needs. The capitalists soon saw, however, that it was far from ea.sy to .sell goods at home. And, gradually, the reason became more and more clear to them. Tho.se who eonld afford to buy their products, had them already, and did not want more; those who wanted the goods could not aH ' ord to buy them. The .startling realization be- came still more clear; confidence waned; and in the .stock market “crashed.” Many industries shortly followed its example. Tho.se who have managed to stay “in the swim,” do so fearfully, like the drowning man clutching the proverbial straw. Since l!)2f), there hav ' e developed, by leaps and bounds, the conditions de.scribed at the beginning of this e.ssay. Today, ( ' atholic, Protestant, Jew, and pagan - ( ' omnumist and Capitalist all agree that something is wrong. The world economic system is diseased. Something must be done. On the cpie.stion of the cure, however, there are three principal diH ' erences of opi nion, even as there were three differences of opinion among the fool, the sooth- .sayer, and the sage as to the remedy for the king’s pains. d ' he fool when told of the jaiins in the king’s head, had advi.sed beheading the king. The communist’s remedy for the world’s evil is analogous to the fool’s remedy. ' I ' lie fool .saw that the king’s illne.ss was felt in his head, and he advi.sed (lecaj)itation. ' Fhe commnni.st .says the world’s illne.ss lies in the caj)itali.st’.s abuse of j)rivate pro- perty, so he urges denying everybody the right to j)rivate property. In doing this, he deprives all men of all personal liberty — one of the dearest j)o.s.sessions of every man. The desire for liberty is deej)ly imbedded in man’s very nature. In other words, the commnni.st, to destroy economic evils, is ready to destroy what is one of the t ' undaiiic ' iital desires ol’ man. Too, he destroys one ol ' man’s l asie rij hts, the ri lit to private pro|)erty. Man, as Catliolie ethics sliows, and as all men agree, has the right to lil ' e. In order to sustain life, he must use material goods food, clothing. But the.se articles are so constituted that in using them, one de.stroys them. In other words, one must have the right to own them. Therefore, man has a natural right to own tho.se goods which hell) t ’ sustain life. In order to be assured in the uncertain future of the ability to buy the.se life- sustaining goods, both for him.self and for the family for whose support he is re- sponsible, man has tlie right to own permanent and lasting j)roperty. Having as- sumed the responsibility of sui)])orting a wife and children, man must take care of their maintenance and education. Man, has, then, not only the right but the duty of gathering together the ])ermanent and lasting property which is the chief recpiisite for the safety and welfare of his children. Communism, therefore, bases its tenets on the denial of one of man ' s basic rights. It is, accordingly, a fal.se and untenable theory. The (’ommuni.st’s inevitable reply to the above statement is this: “Snppo.se, for the sake of argument, that Communi.sm is theoretically unsound. There are many human theories which, though far from perfect, work out well iu practice.” Thus the cominuni.st challenges his opponents to make a survey of the practical “achievements” of Communism. His challenge is his own undoing. Looking back in history, we find many examples of isolated attemi)ts at Com- muni.sm on a small .scale. But before tracing practical attem])ts at Communism, let us examine more fully the basic i)rincii)les of C ' omnumism. Coinmnnisni is a sy.stern of economics which urges the abolition of private proj)erty, and the .sharing of all wealth in common. For more than one reason, it always fails in ))ractice. It totally destroys man’s liberty; it de])rives man of the ordinary incentive to labor; it destroys in man all .sen.se of thrift and indn.stry; it destroys the welfare of the family; it oilers no j)rac- tical means of distribution of goods; and demands an impossible sagacity and j)ro- bity in its directors. Hu.ssian (’ommnni.sts ba.se their ])hilosophy on the etpial rights of all men. It is true that all men are etpial in the sen.se that they all have a supernatural destiny, a free will, and animal as well as rational nature; on the other hand, men, as far as labor, talent, and skill are concerned, have varied abilities. They have all an equal right to a living wage, but meu especially skilled, talented, or diligent should not be forced to acce])t the .same wages as unskilled, lazy laborers. (’ommnni.sts enjoy turning the truth upside down. Another i)rinciple of theirs is that man exists for the .state to further its industrial program. This is of course, ju.st the reverse of the truth. The state exists for man, owing its exi.stence to man. Its primary purf)o.se is to further man’s welfare. The Commnni.sts .say that human life is merely material and temi)oral. .Vside 17 .‘! I ' roiii the fact that this is untrue, it is a |)riuei|)le which rots the very I ' ouudatious of society. If this life he all, if there he no reward or ])uiiishiiieut hereafter, what is to prevent man from killing’ and from rohhing to obtain any or all of his wants? ' Idus principle deprives men of any motive for conforming to estahlished rules of social conduct. I.ahor alone, .say the ( ’ommnni.sts, determines value. In other words, an un- skilled lahorer, working as hard and as long at sawing wood, as does a famous sur- geon i)erforming a delicate oi)eration, is to receive the same eompensation for his infinitely less valuahle lahor. According to sound theory, ( ' omnnmism is, for the above reasons, doomed to failure; and all atteni])ts to put it into i)raetice have borne out the pro])heey of theorists. Robert Owens founded one of the earliest nineteenth century ( ' ommuuistic colonies in the I nited States at New Harmony, Indiana. Shortly afterward the M a.ssachu.setts Tran.scendeiitali.sts established one at Brook Farm. Both movements failed in a short time, due to the fact that the colonies were small, isolated, and |)oorly organized. At least, that was the excuse of the founders. But the strongest and latest attemi)t at ronmumism, though attempted on a comparatively well-organized basis, and on an extremely large .scale, has also failed. In the proletariat .seized the reins of the government in Russia. Their aim was to inaugurate an extreme, positive (’ommuuistic .system of government. The new Russian rulers ho])ed to have the suridus agricultural produce taken from the peasants and distributed among the city workers; at the same time, the sur])lus products manufactured l)y the city workers, were to be a])portioncd among the peasants. The plan, admitted by Russian leaders to be a failure, had to be abandoned in for many reasons, ( ' hief among the reasons was the fact that the peasants who had worked hard each year, tilling the soil and raising agricultural produce, saw all but the bare.st rations of the food they had them.selves raised, taken away from them and given to the favored ])roletariat. None too .strongly in favor of the experiment in the first j)lace, they became more and more resentful, especially when they saw that their labor was, as far as they them.selves were concerned, vain, ( uite often they had not enough to eat. The fruit of their labors was being distributed el.sewhere, while they were almost starving. Why should we toil so for others?” they asked them- .selves. Shortly, they began to store away their .sur])his produce for their own con- sumption. The government tried, through a cruel .system of espionage, to discover the mi.screants who were hoarding food. In many ca.ses, they succeeded, and the culprits were ])uni.shed barbarously. (In a work of this scope, we have not the space to (le.scril)e the cruelties that were perpetrated by the government; but they are well-known.) At last, however, the peasants, taking the only plan po.ssible to them, adoi)ted an attitude of passive resi.stanee, so widespread, that even the s])ying government could not induce them to surrender their surplus food. Russia’s first 171 . atteni])t at ( ’oinnuinisin had ioundcn-d on tlic rock oi ' the ])casaiit ' s rcl’usal to co- ojKTatc. ariou.s ty])cs of ( ’oimmmistic systcins have since been organized in Russia, with little or no success. At ])re.sent even in the very .strongholds of Russian (’oninmnisin, the leaders have recanted. “Today in Itn.ssia, the eomninne, as sneh,i.s raj)idly disappearing; and the artel is beeoining more and more eonnnon. In the eomninne, every article, in- cluding each animal, each jiarticle of grain, and every toothbrnsh is owned in com- mon. ” In the artel, certain jiroperty is not shared. Only six weeks ago, Yakovlev, Soviet Rn.ssia’s Secretary of Agricnltnre, out- lined the new plan of collective farm projierty. Under the new plan, though, “The State continnes to hold in jirincijile, l nt permanently assigns land to nieml)ers of each collective, so that they may know they will reaj) the lienefits of improvements they may make. In addition, as a popular eonee.ssion, the State now iiermits a collective to rent hor.ses and carts, to one of its members. Private jirojierty for personal n.se is now defined by (’omrade Yakovlev, to include the collective farmer’s hon.se, cattle, poultry and furniture, which he may now own, unmolested l)y the State.” The farm |)olicy of Rolshevi.sm in Russia has always been exploitation of the ])ea.sants for the benefit of the proletariat. Rnt the directors of the U.S.S.R. have come to .see that they mnst have, in some degree at lea.st, the peasants ' .sn])])ort. To ol)tain this, they have had to renege on one of their cardinal ])rinciples, the denial of the right to ])rivate pro|)erty. The peasant is now promi.sed ])rivate ])roi)erty, which ])rove.s that ( ' ommnnism has not only failed in Russia, l)ut has, in its .strict form, l)ccn abandoned by its leading exj)onents. Since ( ' ommnnism is false and unsound in both theory and practice, it is evident that the world must .seek the remedy for its economic ills, in the only other econondc .sy.stem ( ' ai)italism. Even in (’apitalism, however, there are two alternatives: the old type of (’aj)italism, now in its death throes, or a new .state-su])ervised (’a])italism. Obviously, the old Capitalism is a failure. It is responsible for the economic evils of the pre.sent, popularly known as “the depression.” In ( ' ai)italistic circles, however, the “die-hards” are claiming that the de])res.sion will soon be over, that ihe country will come back to normal. They jirate of restoring confidence, of ])rosperity being “just around the corner,” of automatic recovery. “We have had periodic busi- ne.ss dei)re.ssion.s,” they .say, “all through American hi.story; but they always pass. They are always followed by a return of prosperity.” I nregulated Ca])italism, as a remedy for the present ecatnomie disa.ster, is similar to the sooth.sayer’.s {)ropo.sed remedy for the king’s headache. The soothsayer had thought that if the king l)ecame interested in s])ort.s or other amusements, he would immediately forget his pain. ( ' a])italism, of the old nnregulated tyj)e, seems to go on the a.ssumption, that if one keeps one’s mind on some magic formula, like re.storing confirlence, the attention of the j)eople will be diverted; they will forget the 17.5 (k ' pros.sioii; tlu ' ir will soon he no (K-prcssion. ' Fhc ' I ' allacy of this n ' asoiiiii i is obvious. M(‘rc ' ly rc‘storiu ’ (“onfidciUT will not inakv |)c ' oplc buy. ' I ' livy caiiuot buy willioiil inonvy, and that is what they lack. Moreover, there are .several reasons why an autoiuatie recovery I’roiii the |)re.seiil de])ression is impossible. Ill the first place, the ])reseiit di ' iiressiou is twice as deeply rooli-d, twice as disastrous, and twice as de.struetive as any other jirevious depression in history. ' I ' liere is no jirospeet ol‘ a new invention to give new inpietns to indn.stry, as the large .scale niannfaeture of the automobile did in the twenties. The unemployed live in the eities, may not go elsewhere, or jmsh farther west to free land, and take up farming to .sn])])ly their own food needs, as they did during other American depre.ssions. The little remaining .Vmerieaii free land is inadeipiate to support the va.st multitude of unemployed. The root of the evil and the prineijial reason why there ean be no automatic recovery is the prodigious differenee between our productive eajiaeity, and the eonsnmer’s demand for commodities. The laborer, who eompri.ses ninety-five jiereent of the po])ulation, because of low wages, and, eon.secpiently, low jmrehasing power, is unable to Imy up the .sur])lus jiroduets of indn.stry. The eapitali.st, wlio alone ean afford to buy the products, doesn ' t, beeau.se he already lias enough. He puts his surplus money into new build- ings, and new indn.stry, and the evil of over-production goes on apace. While capital liroduees more and more, labor’s wages become lower, and the laborer is able to Imy less and less. So commodities, like the doll in the jiretty shoj), waiting for a child to imreha.se it, wait in vain on their shelves, and rust out instead of wearing out in use by those who need them. ' I ' he majority of thinking people, are, then, agreed that old-fashioned, unregu- lated ( ' aiiitalism niu.st be .scrajiped. The pre.sent de])ression has totally di.seredited it. What .system ean be substituted for unregulated ( ' a|)italisni!’ ' (’atholie ethics proiio.ses a .system of regulated (’apitalism under state supervision, and claims, with reason, that the application of ( ' atholie ethics to business would be far nore effective than unregulated (’apitalism or (’ommunism. Like the sage in the fable who i)roposed to .seek and remove the causes of the pams in the king’s head, before .seeking a remedy, the program of reeonstruetiem, dictated by ( ' atholie ethics, .seeks to remove, first of all, the evils of which the pre.sent crisis is the result. The most salient eharaeteristie of the crisis is “starvation in the midst of plenty” ()ver-])rothietion and under-consumption. ' I ' here are two principal factors underlying over-production. The first is ma- chinery huge, efficient machines, which ean do the work of hundreds of men, which can turn out manufactured articles anywhere from ten to twenty times as fast as hand labor could. While this rapid ma.ss production turns out goods with almost 17(i li litniiig s])ct‘(l, inacliiiies are i)iittiiig nion out of work. I iU ' iii|)loyc‘(l, wagc-lc.ss lal)or, cannot hny the rapidly produced .snr])ln.s of good.s. It would be ridicidons to scrap inaeliines, and turn civilization back one hundred years. I ' hc solution, therefore, does not lie in removing fins ' cause of nnemployinent, of over-pro(hiction and of nnder-eonsnmi)tion. There is another cause of the economic evil which can be removed the short- sighted selfishness of capital. In what Leo XIII has called his “mad race for profits, ” the capitali.st has ignored the welfare of his emi)loyees. Every cent went into his industry, so that it might be more i)rodnctive. Labor was i)aid only what was ai)- solntely necessary -starvation wages. Irreligion and nn.sclfishne.ss .stalked the earth, especially ram])ant in business. Capitalists .seem to think that ethics anel imsclfishne ' .s.s have no ])Iace in bnsi- ne ' ss. ( ' onfronteal with the appalling living comlitions, their employe ' es have to face, tlie-y idly epiote the Bible, saying carelessly, “The i)oor we have always with ns. Surely Chri.st never meant that the !).)% of the popnlationthat constitntesthe labor- ing class should be “the poor. ” The can.se of economic evils which Catholic ethics .stacks to remove is capital’s selfishness and disregard of the facts. The systeTii of reconstruction, based on Cath- olic et hics, founds its |)rogram on .several .self-evident facts. ' Lhe laborer is e.s.sentially a social being, who, in this country, re])re.sentiug ! .)% of the ])o])ulation, was created by (lod to live in a civil society, called the State, which must protect his rights. Peo])le object that the application of Catholic ethics to business is too idcali.stic. ' riiough the program is ba.sed on fine ideals, neverf heless the.se ideals can be trans- lated into a definite, practical plan of recon.struction. Then, why, say the objectors, is it that ( ' atholic countries are in the same economic predicament as all the re.st of the world. Why haven’t they a])plied Cath- olic ethics to busine.ss. ' i’he reason is that busine.ss is organized on an international scale. The same conditions exist in international busine.s.ses as within countries. Suppo.se that .several employers are fair and wish to give their laborers fair wages. .Vs soon as they do so, the competitors undersell them, and they are forced out of busine.ss. The .same condi- tions exist in Catholic countries. Should they desire to adopt the ( ' atholic reconstruc- tion program, other countries jiroducing the same goods would undersell them, and industry in the ( ' atholic countries would collapse. Evidently, the only po.ssible way to a.ssurc the efficacy of any projarsed remedy is to have it ado])ted ecpially by all. This can be a.ssured by government supervision of business. The first .stej) in the recovery program is a |)ositiv( ' one which goes to the root of the whole economic evil. One of the recovery policies, now ado])ted by the govern- ment, is the “])lowing under’’ of corn and wheat, the “not raising” of cattle, (as one writer humorously puts it). That is i)uttiug the cart before the horse. True, there is a I?7 surplus, ail ovcTsupiily of wheat and cattle, hut the reason for that oversuiiply is that labor’s wages are so low that it eaiiiiot |mrehase these sur|)lus ])ro(luets. If every mail had a job and labor’s wages were iiiereased, the surplus would auto- iiiatieally cease absorbed by the ordinary needs that labor eaiiiiot now alford to satisfy. It would be far better if the iiioiiey now spent in paying fanners for “not raising” cattle were given to labor to enable it to buy nj) the surplus and thus keej) from starving. Obviously, then, the first .stej) in a recovery |)rograin is to increase the pnrehas- ing power of labor. If this is to be done, some moiK ' y must be taken away from capital in the shape of increased wages to labor. The percentage taken away from capital or, to put it ditferently, the amount of increase of labor’s wage must be determined by labor’s needs. The normal |)rofit of caiiital during a year is ninety billion dollars. It seems justifiable to assume that if some of this sum were devoted to increasing the wages of labor, capital would, in the long run, not only lose nothing, but would ])robably reaj) great profits from the measure. For the amount of money taken from the ninety billion dollars and given to labor, would be immediately spent by labor, and would return to big business through increased sales. By this move, capital would lose nothing, and labor would gain much. The imi)etns to sales, due to increased |)nrcha.sing power of labor, would, in all i)robability, send capital’s profits far above the ninety billion dollar mark. The decision as to labor’s wage needs should be incorporated in national industrial codes, and labor should have a large share in the drawing up of these codes. To insure labor’s having a voice in the making of the codes, to insure the hone.st carrying out of the codes, labor must be one hundred j)ercent organized in national unions — of the type which .seems to be most effective, ( ' ollective bargaining, on the ])art of labor, would under this plan be guaranteed. Labor, without which industry dies, could, if one hundred i)ercent organized, dictate the terms u|)on which it should be employed, instead of capital dictating to labor as it has for so many years. Labor would automatically be prevented from taking too great advantage of capital, for, threatened with the closing down of an industry, the laborer would never demand more than his employer could pay. There should be re-emi)loyment of all the joble.ss as soon as possible; and until the newly organized, economic .sy.stem can absorb all laborers, the government should, through a fairly and hone.stly sniK-rvi.sed .system of i)ublic works, give every man a job, who has been unable to find one in private industry. Civil works, as some one has wi.sely said, is better than civil war. To insure the .stability of the new .sy.stem, the maximum hour and minimum wage elanses, laid down in the codes for the various occupational groups, should be made permanent. Labor must have a lasting share in the ])rofits, ownershij), and management of the industries to which it contributes so mneh. If two ])artner.s inve.sted an e pial amount of money in a business, it would be patently unjust for one to take !)0% of the i)rofit, and leave the other with only 10%. Just as the capitalist 178 invt ' sts inoiu ' y in a husiiioss, so the laborer invests his labor and energy. Work and money are ecinally valual)le, sinee without either, any enterprise is inii)ossil)le. d ' heret’ore, lal)or and ea])ital, wliieh eontril)nte respeetively these two elements, must divide the profits very mneh more evenly than is now the ease. Several supplementary measures appear neeessary to i revent reeentralization of wealth, once the new ])lan has l)een e.stal)lished. The lowe.st ])ossil)le rate of intere.st should be ])ai l, and heavy taxes should be ])laeed u])on large eorporations, savings, and ineome. This would have a salutary, two-fold etfeet, in that it would lessen the l)urden of those who are less aljle to pay taxes, as well as ])revent excessive invest- ment, in superflnous instruments of production. Snell is the jirogram, dictated liy (’atholie ethics, as o])])osed to the soap-box orator’s dream, (’ommunism. (’atholie ethics and Communism both .seek to solve the problem of the unfair distribution of wealth. (’ommunism, in jiraetiee, succeeds in elfeeting social eipiality only in the sense that it makes everyone equally wretched and uiihap))y. (’atholie ethics .seeks by evolutionary rather than revolutionary means to take from Capital its excess wealth and devote it to the improvement of labor’s economic and .social .status. (’hristian or non-(’hri.stian, every man must admit that the .su|)ervised (’aj)- italism, jirojaised by Catholic ethics is a far more efficacious remedy than (’oni- munism, for (’ommunism, in attempting to bring about economic equality, de.stroys man’s social and individual liberty, ( ' atholie ethics seeks to remove slowly the causes that brought about the ineiiuality. Economic and social reeon.struction will be aeeom])lished only when business ado])ts, as its permanent policy, the words s])okeii alnio.st ‘■20(Kt years ago by .Jesus (’hrist, “ Love thy neighbor as thy.self. ” IvATllAKlXE UuTlI McdxENXA Saint 1 homas More ' ■ have lived: I have l(d)oaved: I have laved. have lived in fheiii ! loved; hdioaved fov them loved: loved them fov whom I lahoaved; mi Lahov ha.

On tlu ' ninc ' toentli ol May, nineteen Inindred and thirty-five, Pojx ' I’ius XI eanonized Thomas More, one of the most original, as well as one of the most saintly, figures in history. In Thomas More men and women of every walk in life may find a model worthy of emulation, llesides being an exemplary Christian and an edifying Catholic layman, he was an excellent .scholar, an erudite author, a brilliant lawyer, a compassionate judge, au incorruptible public ofheial, a dutiful son, a loving hnsl)and and father, and last but not Ica.st, a pleasant and witty comi)anion in all wholesome pastimes. The dominant aim of his life was to fit himself for the rewards of nfntnve life by honest championship of the true faith. He became a soldier of C ' hrist and died for Ilis cau.se. Of him may it be said, perhaj)s more than of any other saint, that he served (lod with a smile.” There was nothing gloomy in his piety, nothing .selfish in his devotions, nothing re])nlsive in his asceticism. His was a sunny nature. He had a wit which led his contem])orary John Colet, tlie Oxford scholar, to remark that there was l)ut one geTuus in England and his name was Thomas More. He loved learned conversations but he thrived on je.sts. The.se latter were ever on his handsoiTie lij)s, even at the hour of death. Thomas More was boru in the heart of London, in (dieapside — not far from where Milton was born more than a century later on the seventh of February, 1 I7S. His father. Sir John More, a man of humble origin, became a barri.ster and a jtidge by sheer merit and hard work. He was a kindly man, upright and l)le.s.sed with the wit which was later to make his son so famous. After acapiiring a knowledge of Latin at St. Anthony’s School, Thomas became a | age in the household of Cardinal Morton, the Archbishop of Canterbury. Here according to the cu.stom of the time, he waited at table together with the sons of the best English families and was in return instmeded in various branches of learning and ])olite exercises. His charming ])crsonaIity and mental alertness delighted the venerable Archbishop who often re- marked to his noble guests, This child here, waiting at table, whosoever shall live to .see it, will prove a marvellous rare men.” This l)enevolent patron urged the lad’s father to .send him to Oxford, and at the age of fourteen he entered Canterbury Hall. His allowance being .scarcely sufficient for his needs, the time his companions whiled away in sport, he s])ent with his books. He read (ireek and Latin authors avidly and wrote com])ositions in their tongues. His Latin ver.ses were especially facile and harmonious l)uf he wrote many fine j)oems in Engli.sh as well. 181 Il was at tills tiiiu ' , too, that lu ' toi’incd his dci ' ]) and |)ro(ital)l( ' fririidsliii) with ( ' olc ' t, LinacTo, Krasiiius, and othoi ' s who wvrv to |)lay l(‘adiiifi; roles in the hninan- istie inovenieiit. Although More heeanie an ardent diseiple ol ' the new learning, he remained a stanneh defender of the old faith and his lilV jiroved that the two forces were not irreconcilable. Alter two years his lather put him to the study of law. lie was now eighteen. With characteristic humility, he obediently bent his elforts in a new direction, Init it was with no little sorrow that he left behind him the mellow atmosphere of the rniversity and the congenial society of the humanists. laiw had no attraction for him. He was by nature a poet and philosopher, but since his father wished him to follow in his footstcjis he would do his will. It was not his literary aspirations which disturbed him most during his career at the Inns of (hnirt. He was torn by spiritual nnre.st. The leisure hours which were once devoted to his beloved (ire(‘k were now for the most part given over to s])iritnal exerci.ses. lie fasted, jirayed, kept vigils, denied him.self sleep, wore a hair shirt next his skin, and practiced all manner of austerities -all this without once losing his naturally cheerful demeanour and lively spirits. When his edncatioTi was com])letcd he began to think longingly of the priest- hood. For three years he lived as a lay-brother in a ( ' arthusian monastery. He found, however, that his eminently sociable nature made religious life im])ossil)le for him. He felt a di.stinct call to life in the world and, more |)articularly, to the married state, “(lod had allotted him for another state — not to live solitary but that he might be a ])attcrn to reverend married men how they should carefully bring u]) their children, how dearly they should love their wives; how they should employ their endeavors wholly for the good of their country, yet excellently perform the virtues of religious men, as piety, humility, obedience, yea conjugal chastity. ”f At the age of twenty-.seven, then, he married one .lane Colt, and never was there a ha])j)ier union. Owing to his sweetne.ss of disposition, ready wit, regularity of hal)its, and deeply religious sentiments, he was well fitted for conjugal society and no one ever inore exrpiisitely enjoyed its blessings. Four children were born of the marriage and the family lived in uninterrupted harmony and alfection. More ' s wife, however, unfortunately died six years after their marriage, to his inexpre.ssible grief. The need of supplying a mother for his little ones can.sed him to remarry shortly after. Mi.stress .Vlice Middleton, the worthy widow whom he cho.se, j)roved a good mother to his children and a capable manager of his hou.sehold, but her nagging ways and shrewish tongue su|)|)lied the ])eace-loving More with numerous occasions for the exerci.se of j)atience and good humor. .Vccording to Erasmns he ruled her with caresses and with jokes the ])oint of which she invariably mi.ssed,but, No husband ever gained so much obedience from a wife by authority and .severity as More by gentlene.ss and ])lea.santry.” Meanwhile More did not permit his practical concerns to suffer. He a])i)lied him.self a.ssiduously to his profe.ssion, for he was ever in need of money to snj)])ort his family. He rose rapidly in the law and obtained a seat in the Hou.se t)f Commons t Erasmus 18 i where his bold and independent speech made him a leader. When he denounced the unju.st taxation of the people and prevailed on Parliament to refuse one of his Majesty’s excessive demands for money, he brought on him.self the disjjleasure of King Henry II and was forced into retirement for a time. At the death of Henry VII, More emerged once more into public life and was made Fuder-sheriff of the City of London, a judicial office of considerable dignity in which he endeared him- self to his fellow-citizens. He was next .sent by the government to Flanders to nego- tiate a busine.ss treaty. This first visit to the continent opened up new avenues and stimulated new intere.sts in the young man. It was on this trip that he met the French .scholar, Peter tides, whose discussions of contemporary ])olitics and social conditions inspired More to write his Utopia. This masterpiece of literature, written in .scholarly Latin, proves the author to be a man far in advance of his day. It re- veals More’s ideal state of society, a society in which equality prevails in all things. Soon after the Utopia was completed (1.51(1) iMore turned to i)olemical writing. For six years he championed the cau.se of Catholicity again.st Luther, Tyndale, Frith, and other so-called “reformers” of religion. He defended the doctrines which they denied in treati.ses remarkable not only for their learning and ])iety but for the good-natured repartee at which More was so adroit. Although the greater part of the.se writings have fallen into oblivion, they served their pur])o.se and the ( ' ath- olic (’hurch was dee))ly indebted to him for his .services. In the meantime, the success of his diplomatic tactics in Flanders had .strength- ened the re])utation he had built uj) for himself as a lawyer. His oratorical ability won him many followers, too. This po])ularity moved Cardinal Wolsey, ever anxious to win the favor of his people, to apj)oint Sir Thomas Ma.ster of Reque.sts, or ex- aminer of jK ' titions presented to the King. His new duties forced him to si)end much time at Court and he came into frequent contact with King Henry VIII. No one ever had less desire for a career at Court than did More. According to Erasmus, he was “dragged” into it. His witty conversation and learned parts attracted Henry, who.se con.stant companion he now became. In 1.5 ' -21 he was knighted and from every direction came honors and opportunities for advancement. The King made him sul)- Treasurer of the Royal Hou.sehold, and Wolsey ’s influence made him Speaker of the Hon.se of (’ommons. Diplomatic mi.ssions were entru.sted to him and his res])on.sil)ili- ties increased. His home became the center of attraction for the great men of Eng- land and for important visitors from abroad. In. spite of all these honors, VTore remain- ed a man of simple tastes and humble ways. He suj)plied the be.st of food and drink for his family and guests but was most abstemious himself. His dress was so |)lain that it roused the wrath of his ambitious wife, and he avoided all apj)earance.s of show in the furnishings of his home and carriages. More was not merely temj)erate in his habits; he mortified him.self with the wearing of a hair shirt and with .scourgings. He attended Mass daily and s])ent a large ])art of his busiest days in ] rayer. He relied on meditation for much of his strength and jjer.severance. He led his family in their morning and evening prayers 183 as ho (lid in many of tlioir other activities. Ilis lioine, we are told, was an earthly I)aradi.se, yet how eheerfnlly he was to leave it tor a ])rison cell! In de.serihing’ this exein])lary home Erasmus said; “Von Tni fht imagine yourself iu the .Veademy of Plato — hut it would he more just to call it a .school and exei’cise of the (’hristian religion. All its inhabitants, male or female, a])])lied their leisure to liberal studies and profitable reading, (ilthoiifili pietji iras- iheir first rare. No wrangling, no angry word was heard in it; no one was idle: everyone did his duty with alacrity and with a temperate eheerfulness. It was this society, then, that he preferred to the more coldly brilliant life of the Court. In bV i) Cardinal Wolsey fell from his high ])edestal. Henry straightway named his “beloved More” to succeed him as Lord ( ' haueellor of England. The Lord Chancellor is the head of the legal ju’ofe.ssion and the King ' s advi.ser. The elevation of a man of Sir Thomas’s comi)aratively low rank to such a lofty i)osition was totally unexpected. Moreover, it was e.xcej)tional in another re.sjx-et. 1 ' ]) to this tiine. Lord ( ' haneellors had invariably been great dignitaries of the Chureh. What a tribute to More’s integrity and j)iety! At his installation, the Duke of Norfolk, the Eir.st Peer of the Realm, spoke the following words by order of the King: “It may ])erhaj)S .seem to many a .strange and unusual matter, that this dignity should be be- stowed upon a layman, none of the nobility, and one that hath wife and children; because heretofore none but singular learned prelates, or men of greatest nobility, have jHrs.se.ssed this j)lace; but what is wanting in the.se respects, the admirable vir- tues, the matchless gifts of wit and wi.sdom of this man doth most plentifully reeom- ))ense the same. Eor the King’s maje.sty hath not regarded how great, but what a man he was; he hath not east his eyes upon the nobility of his blood, but u])on the worth of his ] erson.” It was now Sir Thomas More’s duty to dispen.se justice iu the loftiest and widest sense of the term. He was eminently suited for this duty. “The wisdom of his judg- ments rendered his tenure of the ( ' haucellorshi|) memorable iu the annals of English law,” according to Lord ( ' amj)bell, the biographer of the Lord (’haneellors of Eng- land. During Wol.sey’s term abuses iu ecpiity had multij)lied and eorrui)tion was common even in the highest seats of power. E.xee.ssive fees has given rise to the saying that “no one could hoi)e for a favorable judgment unless his fingers were tipt with gold.” Moreover, there was an incredible mmd)er of ca.ses in arrears, some of which had been awaiting a hearing for twenty years. More now |)ut an end to the.se and similar irregnlarities. In direct contrast to the arrogant Wolsey, “the poorer and meaner the suppliant, the more affably would he (More) hearken to his cau.se and with a speedy trial des])atch him.” No amount of wealth or loftiness of title could turn him from the eour.se i)re.scribed by justice. He worked so eon.seientiously that he freed his office from its traditional charge of procrastination. There was a pojudar rhyme to the effect that “When iMore some time had ( hancellor been No more suits did remain The like will never more be seen d ' ill More be there again.” 18t Not long after raising liis favorite eoniijanion to the eliancellorshij), Henry III had consulted him on his ])rojected separation from ( atherine, his lawfnl wife. He revealed that he wished to obtain an annulment so he could marry Anne Holeyn. More declared himself opposed to the whole sordid affair. Henry, who never allowed any obstacle to prevent him from doing what he wislual, had resolved to force the I’ope into granting the annulment, or if force failed, to cat off the ( ' hnrch in England from the papacy. He did not, however, com])el More to take a definite .stand in the matter at the time. He was .still too fond of him to force him into the fatal corner. Nevertheless, after holding the (treat Seal for two and one half years, M ore felt it his duty to resign when Parliament cf)mmitted it.self to heresy. To identify him.self with a government which was henceforth to join England with Protc.staTitism was against his con.science. In the spring of he retired at the height of his career and in the fnlness of his {lowers. It was with a feeliTig of relief and gladness of heart that he returned to {irivate life. -Vt the age of fifty-four, his .strength was already failing. The serious reduction of his income entailed the use of rigorous economy in his manner of living. This exigency caused him not the slightest cpialm. He cheerfully reminded his family of his hnmble origin and joked about selling his best {ilate. As solicitous for the tem- |)oral welfare of others as he was careless of his own, he s])ared no jiains to jilace his old servants in the be.st jiositions {lossible. .Vt this time, writing to Erasmus, he averred that he had at last “obtained what, from a child, he had continually wished- that being freed from business and {inblic affairs he might lire for a time only to God and himself. His time was now sjient either in his chajiel or in his library. He was {ilanning new writings which he ho|)ed wonld contribute to the sjiiritnal welfare of his fellow-men. He avoided the ( ' ourt and (niblic life. Henry had by now abandoned (’atherine and married” Anne Boleyn. Prej)arations being nnderway for Anne ' s coronation. Sir Thomas was in- vited to attend the ceremony. Such an invitation was tantamount to a royal com- mand. Knowing that his attendance wonld be taken by the jx“oj)le as a sign that he recognized Anne ' s marriage as lawfnl. More declined to be jiresent at her coronation. His refusal offended the King and, what is more, the new (jneen, who immediately in.stigated action against him. ( harges of bribery were brought against him. The.se dis))roven, a more serious matter was trumjx ' d n|) in his disfavor. England had for some time been startled by the j)ro|)hecies of one Elizalx ' th Barton, known as the Holy Maid of Kent. She gained the attention of the whole country by j)ro|)he.sying that the King wonld come to a s{x‘edy and |)erditions end for having divorced his lawfnl wife. Becoming intere.sted in s{)itc of his caution. More visited her to a.sccrtain the sincerity t)f her utterances. When she was arre.sted for treason, her friends by way of defending her di.sclo.sed the fact that the ex-Eord Chancellor had been among her visitors. Now thoroughly incensed, Henry had his former friend arre.sted for treason and it was with difficulty that he cleared him.self of the accusation. Henry now had a bill ])assed through Parliament ve.sting the royal sncce.ssion 185 ill Aiiiu- ' s childn ' ii and imposiiifi: an oalli of allcgianco to Iut as ( lu ' cn. After its passage a new oath was added liy tlie ( ' oniinissioiu ' rs wliieli ahjnred tlie I’ojie. More refused to deny the papal antliority altlioiigh he was willing enough to jiledge his fidelity to Anne’s ehildren. I rged on by his vengeful ( neen, Henry ordered Sir d ' hoinas More to the Tower of London. Here ' he remained until his death fifteen months later. Daniel Sargent oliserves that he who had considered hini.self unworthy of life in a cell was by (Jod and the King’s behest made to live in a cell far more penitential than any Carthusian’s. Although his gaolers were as kind as jio.ssible towards him, he suffered greatly by reason of jioor health. The sight of his wife addc ' d to his pains for she never cea.sed urging him to give nj) “his silly .scruples,” as she called them. This ble.ssed man could never remain sad for long. He occupied hini.self with the writing of prayers, verses, meditations, letters, and treatises on the Pa.ssion, the Hles.sed Sacrament, and other subjects of a religious nature. He never lost courage but kejit a merry heart and a cheerful countenance. The sonree of this optimism was not shallowness but rather his deep trust in God. “Mistrust Him will I not,” he said to Meg, “though I feel me faint. Yea and though I should feel my fear even at point to overthrow me, too, yet shall I remember how Saint Peter with a bla.st of wind began to sink for his faint faith, and shall do as he did, call upon Christ and prap Him to help. In lofH the Act of Supremacy conferred on Henry the title of Sujireme Head of the Catholic Church. Any denial of this article was to be held as treason. On June ' ■2.), John Fisher, Hi.sliop of Koche.ster, died on the .scaffold for refusing to take the Oath of Sujiremacy. Six days later. More was taken to Westmini.ster Hall to -stand trial for high treason, i.e., for having infringed the Act of Supremacy. He was declared guilty and condemned to be hanged, drawn, and (piartered. Asked by the judges if he had anything to say, he answered; “This farther only have I to .say, my Lords, that like as the ble.ssed Apo.stle Saint Paul was pre.sent and con.sented to the death of the protomartyr Saint Stephen and yet they be now twain holy saints in heaven and there .shall continue friends forever; so I verily trust and shall heartily j)ray that though your Lordshij)s have been on earth my judges to condemnation, yet that we may hereafter meet in heaven merrily together to our everla.sting .salva- tion.” His .sentence having been commuted to beheading, he was carried to Tower Hill on the morning of July (i, lafk) for the execution. He faced death with courage and com])osnre. Addison .said in one of his Spectator papers: “The innocent mirth whieh had been so consj)icuous in his life did not forsake him to the la.st. His death was of a piece irith his life: there was in it nothing new, forced, or affected; as he died in a fixed and settled hope of immortality, he thought any unusual degree of sorrow and concern improper.” He joked with the officers and asked the j)eople pre.sent to I ray for him. After kneeling in jirayer, he meekly laid his head on the block, care- fully thrusting his beard aside “for it had neva r committed treason.” He asked ISC ( ' vcryoMC ' to hear witness tliat lie died in and for the holy (’atholie Faith and then f ave the executioner a sign that he was ready. Thus ended on the scaffold one of the noblest lives known to hi.story. In imita- tion of his INIaster, Thomas More sacrificed his life hecanse to do less would have heen to betray a trust. Like his Master, too, he said Thy Will be done,” although he would have preferred that the ( halice jiass from him. He did not go so bravely to a premature death because he was tired of life. He loved life, loved his .scolding wife, his beautiful daughter Meg, his worn books, his sunny chapel, and his dinners with the greate.st minds of England gathered around his board. He died for his faith only becan.se he could no longer live for it. The choice between death and dishonor was jiresented him and with (bid ' s grace he chose the better part. C ' atherink Rose Higgins Inspiration and the Arts Since the fatarVrash” of the stock market in l!h2!), people have come more and more to tlie conclusion that there is something radically wrong with the way the husiness of the world is conducted. After tour, five, and six years of continued de- pression,” thinking [leople have come to the conclnsion that the failure of husiness, the de])loral)le conditions of the working classes, and the existence ot starvation in the midst of plenty are directly traceable to the atavistic selfishness of the tew who had been steadily gaining control of the world’s purse strings at the expense ot the many, who.se misery was as steadily increasing. In other words, the world-witle tle- pre.ssion, people began to realize, was due to the failure of ca])italists to apjdy the religions princijiles of unselfishness and generosity to business. A philosojihy ot god- less greed had been substituted for the mutual self-.sacrifice and sjiirit ot co-opera- tion that animated medieval trade and commerce. The capitali.st had turned his back on religion, and, as a result, the world suffered economically. The world-wide depression has not confined it.self to business alone. The irre- ligion that has brought about such dejfforable conditions in the economic affairs of the world has been ecpially responsible for the great aching void in each branch ot art, ])ainting, music, .sculpture, and literature. The sj)irit of sacrifice that animated the art of the great masters, their religious sentiments, and beliefs were responsible for the great masterj)icces ol tormer times. The irreligion of today, the unwillingness to sacrifice fame tor truth has l)een rc- s])onsible for the moirstrosities of modern art. Keligion, as a source of inspiration to all artists, is inexhaustible, for it is the consecration of man’s life, with all his various ])roblems and modes ot activity, to a Sn])reme being. Since true religion embraces every field of activity known to man. since it is essentially merely the ap])lication of man’s beliefs to his mode ot lite, it is as broad as the earth it.self. deeper than the sea, as changele.ss in es.sence as the moun- tains, yet as varied as the winds. It has in it many elements; it is intellectual, as tal- as the philosoiihical belief is concerned; it is imaginative, insofar as man creates for the beings he worships, attributes, lioth jihysical ami mental, that he imagines they pos.sess; it is jiictorial, as far as the glorious events in t he hi.story ot religion are concerned: and it is emotional, in that it resjjonds to each of all man’s emotions. No other force no other gronj) of forces can provide so kaleido.sco])ic, so pan- oramic a view of life as can religion unless perhajis it be human nature. et human nature cannot be truly jiortrayed unless the author, the composer, or the artist in- clude either a religious outlook or some jihilosophy of life; tor man is. by his very nature, essentially religions. Though an author may be realistic in depicting irre- ligious characters, because such jiersons do exist, he is nevertheless describing falsely, for he is de.scribing the abnormal. Though a condition may exist in real life, it is not 18 !) iU ' C(‘ssarily true to life, lu ' causc most people are not so al)iiorinal tliat tliey (pialil ' y as side-show material. Similarly, irreligious ])e oi)le exi.st, hut they are as freakish as the side-show peo|)le, for it is natural for man to he religious a statement |)roveu hy the faet that all raees, all tribes, even the most primitive have iustiuetively turned to some Su])reme Being for sueeor, and have formulated some code of morals hy whieh they were exi)eeted to live. Siuee it is natural to man to he religious, and siuee literature, miisie, art, and arehiteeture are created hy humans for the enjoyment of fellow humans, any one of these, if it is not grounded on firm ])rineiples and sound heliefs, in other words, on religion, is false, unnatural, and as freakish as the eireus fat man and thin man. The irreligion of many artists and writers today, their failure to a|)preeiate spiritual values, aeeoimts for the i)ecnliarities that pass under the title of art in some of our modern mu.seums and ])ieture galleries. That is why we .see in art galleries whole rows of i)ietnres, not one of whieh is eomj)rehensihle to any ordinary mortal. And we sometimes suspect that they are ecpially incom])rehensihle to the art critics a susj)icion that .seems to he well home out hy the fact that .several years ago the ])ieture that won a coveted art prize was found later to he hung ujiside down. Both in sculpture and in painting, we see images of women who look like fish wives, sanctimoniously labeled Madonna; re])ulsive faces, di.storted figures, sha])eless, drnnkenly colored mas.ses labeled anything from Beauty to Honor. In poetry we find such incongruities as ' rile world revolves with me, yet makes no motion. Pile stars pale silently in the eoral sky. In a whistlitiff void I stand before my mirror, I neoneerned, and tie my tie.” or siieh |)uerilities as or sneh effusions as I ho()e the snii shines bright, ’ ' Pwill be a lovely sight.” Say what yon like, . 11 things love mel Horse, Cow, and Mouse Bird, Moth, and Bee.” Strangely enough, the.se outbursts, called ])oetic, are not confined to tawdry nuigazines nor jtenny newsjtapers. They are found in the magazines that cater to the ta.stes of the so-called intelligentsia, and are included in notable anthologies, and in reputable collections. In the realm of letters, Gertrude Stein’s mouthings attract, even from some of the more eminent critics, favorable attention. There is a vast and aching void in modern life, and it is reflected in the em])ty mouthings of a Gertrude Stein, in the nervewracking lines and colors found in moderni.stic ])ictnres. Even in the realm of sound, the lack is felt; in music, the composers .seek to ] )() fill tlio void with (•;icoj)lionoiis, screaiiiiiig, disconlaiit sound. Tlic “,syiiii)lioiiy” tliat won tho prize donated by a nationally known broadcasting unit two years ago was designed to be a innsical rej)rodnction of the sounds one hears in a broadcasting station, including a considerable degree of static. Music is generally defined as the.science or artof combining pleasing or harmon- ious tones. City dwellers listen all day to the grinding, squeaking, shrilling, screech- ing, roaring, rumbling noi.ses of towns; country dwellers hear the unmelodious grunting, .s pieaking, braying noi.ses of the country. People seek in music a pleasant harmonious cond)ination of sounds, not a mere tran.scription of all the most un- melodious noi.ses they hear throughout the day. Yet, even in Ho.ston, strong-hold of con.servatives, almo.st each weekly Symphony Concert includes a work of one of the moderns. Ordinarily, that work is a concentrated reproduction of the most inhar- monious noises of country and city. Long ago Thomas C ' arlyle sj)oke of architecture as frozen music.” Some of the ])re.sent day architecture is, like the modern “music,” frozen noise, and will be, as long as cubism, modernism, and the other extreme modes ] revail. In all other arts, weeds flourish where once flowers bloomed, for the arti.sts have lost sight of what true beauty is. They have forgotten, or perha])s they simply ignore the wi.se words of Keats: Beauty is truth and truth Beauty.” Our modern arti.sts have confused the concei)ts of reality and truth. Their paintings may j)ortray realities, such as ugly women, and horrible .scenes; their music may repre.sent grating noises that are real; their poetry may de])ict real feel- ings but the realities they choose as subjects are trivialities. As a con.secpience of their .selection of trivial subjects, our modern art, as a whole, is either trivial or ridiculous. Barely, if ever, does it ajjproach the beautiful. The aim of mo.st modern arti.sts seems to be, judging from their works, to mystify or to j)uzzle all but them.selves. Yet true art in all its forms should be the beautiful feelings that all men have ex])erienced, or the divine truths that all men know. The truly great masterpieces of art, literature, and music were motivated by a desire on the part of their authors to clarify, to ex])re.ss with beauty the great truths known to all, man’s beliefs as carried out in his daily life- in short, their works were of religious insj)iration. Although they have been religious works, these ma.steri)ieces have not l)een saturated with that .saccharine type of religiosity that sometimes i)as.ses under the name of religion. A l)rief survey of a few of the outstanding master])ieces in each field of art should convince even the mo.st casual ob.server, that religion as a source of ins])ira- tion is the force that makes the.se masterpieces truly great. Tributes to the universal genius of Dante will always be paid by all men. Few who have read THE DDTXE COMEDY disagree with Tennyson’s eulogy of Dante, King that has reigned six liundred years, and grown In power and ever growest ” 191 Few lluTo an who itIusc- to comvdo to Daiilo the higlu-st rank among tlm |)o( ts of all time’. Dante was a master in the art of painting gra])hie pictures; his poems are both sculptural and i)ietorial; he was a master of words; hnt he owes his claim to true greatness mneh more to his lofty ideals and his religions Ix’liefs than to his mastery of teehniepie. In fact, his profound faith was the direct sonree of his literary skill. •lohn T. Slattery. I’h.l)., noted Dante scholar tells ns that Dante had three’ de- votions which he i)ractised intensely; devotion to ( ' hrist, to the IMessed Virgin, and to the Souls in Purgatory. It is this devotion to the Holy Souls which is the motivating force behind the ‘‘DIVIX.V ( ' OMMFDIA, es])ecially the “Pnrgatorio.” Hettinger says of Dante: “In truth, he anticipated the most pregnant develop- ments of Catholic Doctrines, mastered its snblest distinctions, and treated its hard- est j)roblems with almost faultless accuracy. ere all the libraries in the world des- troyed and the Sacred Scripture with them, the whole ( atholic System of doctrine and morals might almost be reconstrncted out of the “DD’IX.V COMMEDI.V.” Dante ' s ej)ic is not the only one that is ins]hred by religion. Milton ' s “P.VR.V- DISF POST” and Spenser ' s “FAERIE QFEEXE” are notable examples from English Literature, in the history of wliich they hold the same e.xalted rank that the “DI IXA ( ' OMMEDIA” holds in world literature. •Vrt, as well as literature, snp])orts the view that spiritual ideals form the j)iirest, the most varied, and the most beantifni snbjects for the artist. The history of paint- ing is replete with masterpieces ins])ired by supernatural snbjects. It is not hyi)crbolc to declare that at least half of the masterj)ieces of European painting are of the Madonna, of Christ, of the angels, or of the .saints. Modern arti.sts j)aint women and label them Madonnas. Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo da inci, alastpiez, Mnrillo, and Dnrer visualized each one an ideal woman, a model of j)erfection both physically and s])iritnally, Ix’fore even .setting the brush to canvas. Xo mortal woman was beautiful enough to .serve as the complete model for the paiutiiigs. The Madonnas of the great artists are master])ieces because they j) 07 ’tray divine beauty, whereas the modern ])aintings are simply j)ortraits of human flesh and blood. Tho.se who object to religion as a musical, literary, or artistic theme declare that it was natural for the early masters to choo.se religious subjects; that, in so doing, they were only rchectiiig the s()irit of the times in which they lived. Rnt the life and works of a great artist of our times contradict this theory. t a time when materialism and paganism were at their height, a great musical genius, ( ' esar Franck was j)roducing symj)honies and oratorios for which the best music (’ritics ))ro|)hc.sy immortality. It is too soon now to evaluate this French genius; yet even the most untutored audiences recognize immediately the difference between Franck ' s “Hcatitudes” and the noisy .symphonies of the day. The difference is as obvions as that between a diamond and a fragment of broken glass. . s a man, Franck was intensely religious, and his works are great beeanse they reflect his character. ' incent d ' Indy, one of the foremost music critics of Franck ' s 1!)’2 (lay, (k ' clarcs that “tlio creator ol ' tlie ‘Beatitudes’ {(assed througli life with his eyes on lofty ideals,” and that Franck was nndouhtedly a l eliever, like Palestrina, Haeh, or Beethoven before him; confident in a life to come, he would not lower his art for the sake of fame in this one; he had the ingenuous sincerity of genius.” Franck ' s music was as religious as the man himself, and it is safe to say that because it was religiously inspired, it is beautiful so beautiful that it will live, and live long. The books of today that How from tlie pre.s.ses with the ra])idity of turbulent rivers, the incomprehensible i)ictures that disfigure modern picture galleries, the di.storted eacoj)honons mnsic” that assails our ears they are all cheap and tawdry. They are like the screaming, black headlines of a yellow journal read to- day, forgotten tomorrow. They cannot be classified as art, for the true mission of art is to expre.ss beautifully the great truths of modern life and faith that are known to all men. When arti.sts and musicians realize that they must have lofty ideals and great truths as their inspiration they will produce art that is worthy of the name. Only re- ligion, only the spirit of sacrifice the sacrifice of ephemeral fame or notoriety for true beauty and true philosophy -can bring back the arts to their former position. What ’incent d’lndy said of Franck may be .said of all true artists whether they be literary or musical. While the e])hemeral renown of many artists, who only regarded their work as a means of accpiiring fortune or success, begins already to fall into the shadow of oblivion, never again to emerge, the .seraphic personality of Franck, who worked for Art alone, soars higher into the light towards which, with- out faltering or compromi.se, he aspired throughout his whole life.” K. th. rine R.

(iKNERAL lU On.ATIONS FOR FRESHMEN, SOPHOMORES, AND STEDENTS No student is expected to attend classes, laboratory periods, or assemblies regularly. Students are urged not to droj) courses, esj)ecially in the marble foyer, because as you know, girls, “we can ' t be always picking ui) after you.” Students are urged not to refu.se courses, unless they are dieting, in which case they will be allowed to refuse the oatmeal course at breakfast or the de.ssert course at other meals. ‘204 For c-acli ahsciice from class (hiring tlic ' ■21 liours preceding or following a college holiday or vacation, as mncli credit will be added to the student’s mark as Miss (iordon, dean, sees fit. Regularity of attendance will be given no consideration in e.stimating a student’s •standing. The .standing of each student is determined by her feet without which, of course, .she could not .stand. It is only good manners to send yonr jirofessor a note of regret (for form of note, see Helen Reardon) when yon have found it imj)o.ssible to sit through the entire class. When closing windows in the rear of ( ' ollege Hall always make sure th at there are no heads or shoulders jirotruding from the building, or stretched acrixss the sill. This is not the P’rench Revolution. The windows and sills are not to be used as guil- lotines. Decajiitations are .strictly forbidden to the .students. Only the faculty are allowed to make use of this privilege, in that proce.ss commonly known to .students as “taking your head off.’’ Students are strictly forliidden to .study in the .showers on pre-e.xam nights, but should you violate this regulation always be careful not to turn on the shower by accident. Many excellent .sets of notes have been mined in this way. Resides, the college has no puhnotors to use on drowning students. The social amenities require that when an underclassman rooms with a .senior she may not don her earmuffs to study, without first asking permission of the .senior and her guests who are doing the talking that is di.stracting her. It is .strictly forbidden at [irom time for any student to waylay another student’s e.scort who is en route to the .said student’s home. Those students who come from Alaska or points north are urged to sign up for the rooms in the rear of College Hall.
