The size of Book l was enough to frighten us, but when we discovered that by November we had the theories of the early Church Fathers down to a canonical our minds were lightened considerably. Vxfe traveled mentally with Sister through Greece and Rome to Constantinople and Avignon. and at mid-years con- tinued the 'struggle' lin every sense of the wordj of the Creek schism. The second semester kept us busy with Book llefully as large as Book ll We refuted the Nestorian heresy with the ease of the theologian and followed the rise and fall of Henry Vlll and the Reformation throughout Europe. Sister Carmelita not only gave us a thorough course in the history of our Church in previous ages, but also kept us well informed on current events by calling our attention to articles in the more recent periodicals dealing with the place of the Church in the world of today. We have not had the opportunity of following a history course with either l7r. Vxfeber or Fr. Bourne. They might well have given us the finishing touches on the few details of Church l-listory Cand there were fewl which Sister Carmelita missed. THE REvEREND FRANK BOURNE CSP., PHD, ' 134
