FOURTH SCHOLARSHIP ESTABLISHED
_ Memorial To Son of
Thomas W. Finucane
I\anrcth College is pleased to
announce the establishment of a
Scholanhip, by Mr. Thomaa W.
F inucane, a prominent buaioeu
• man of this city, treasurer of the
Thomu W. Finucane Corporation.
It will be known as the Thomas
W. Finucane Sebolarabip in memo
ory of his son, who Jeft Norfolk
in an aeroplane on March, 1929,
and was never heard of again.
We sympathize deeply with the
bereaved father, but "''e feel that
in thb beautiful memorial there
",HI be the added consolation of
the prayers of tbe religious and
of the students of Nazareth Coi­lege.
Thill is the second Scholarship
offered to Nazareth College by the
public spirited citizens of Roehes­tel'
who afl! interested in the
cause of higher education. One
Scholarship is already offered by
the College itself; another is given
by Xazareth Academy; a third,
he George L. White Scholarship
has becn estahlished by Min Rose­mary
White, now at Oxford Uni­verait~',
in memory of her father.
In establishing the~e Scholarships,
a three-fold good is done: the
nstitution is insured of an appre­ciable
and permanent a5!!istancej
de!erving student, through such
Scholarship is given the oppor­unity
of developing her intel­ectunl

Bishop Attends
College Party
One of the binellt and best
Christmas Parties ever given at
~a%3reth College was held Thurs­day,
December 19.
The assembly Willi attractively
decorated in red and green with
a tall glittering Christmas tree as
the center of attraction. At t he
stroke of four our guesl.l! arrived,
braving many hardships and ac­tually
risking their Jives. We
were delighted to welcome Rt.
Rev. Bishop O'Hern, Mother Syl­vester,
Sister Columba and the
faculty. But in the midst of the
greetings and the enter tainment
we could not forget the absence
of Most Rev. Archbishop Hickey.
It was the first Christmas party at
whieh the Archbishop was not
present; we miued him, and we
were sorry he could not ha"e been
with us to join in expressing the
"Chr istmas Spirit."
After a word of welcome, the
Glee Club favored us with two
beautiful numbers : "Jesu Bam­bino"
and "Minuit Chretien."
Everybody joined in the singing
of "Adeste Fideles." The popular
"Jingle Bells" was ~ung in Latin
a& well as English. Germany was
represented by "0 Tannebaum."
There were several original poems
and compositions read which con­tained
charming thoughts pertain­ing
to the first Christmas night .
Then a distant tinkle of a bell
announced the approach of Santa
Claus. Even at this busy season
he honored Naureth College with
a visit. He arrived, weighted
down with a heavy load of gifts.
Everyone received at least one
present (it remains to be said in
which of Santa's stores they were
purchased) .
COLLEGE WINS
DODGE SEDAN
After a great deal of el'fort on our
part. and some mor;t el'fective IISles­manshlp
talks ..... e were very plensed
to learn that our penuaslve ablllties
have been rewarded: and that Naz­a
reth Collele Is winner of a Dodge

Catholic Courier-Journal contest.
CtedJt Should be iiven to all the
studenf4. but especially to Betty
Randall, our representative in the
contest, and to Ade1a.ide Bie5enbach.
who were especl.ally active In secur­Ing
Jub$Criptlons.
Just how the prize wlJl be used.,
we are not certain. but we presume
that the proceeds of Its sale will
contribute ro ... ..ro further equipment
of the Ubrary. Though the COllere
would tind the car mOllt serviceable.
It seems Imperatl,ve to sacrl1\ce it to

NEW BOOKS IN LIBRARY
Uterature students. HUston' stu­dents,
SCience students. students In
lenEral-hal'e you seen the wonder­ful
ncw books which have recently
an-lved tor the library? They are all
new and so attractively bol.Uld that
JUlit the appearance of them Is in­viting.
Our library certainly is a
spot or which .... e ha\'e every cause
to be proud. and which we should
treat with respect. It gives one a
pleasurable sensation Just to enter
the room, especially when we know
how complete are its facllitiea. And,
girla, aren't you all ready to begin
on these new bookll?
With a few words, expressing Ir--------------, only inadequately the gratitude
felt, the Dean and the faculty
were presented with a silver tea
set from the studenl.l!.
The Bishop spoke appropriately
on the first Christmas Crib, and
the true spirit of Christmas which
Ihould reign in our hearts. F inally
refreshments were served to com­plete
a perfect party,
EXPRESS ION OF

dcath of her uncle.

WOMEN'S INFLUENCE
A recent social event again
showed tbe spirit of our college
women and the beneficent results
we may be effective in producing.
Women have always been the most
powerful factor for &,0011 or evil
in the world. Names on every
page of hlstor~' prove a woman's
influence.
The fact that we. as college
women, can exerci~e the greatest
influence, should control our
action$. In every phase of activ­ity,
whether within the campus or
ouuide. we ~hould see to it that
we live up to the highe~t ideal!
of which we are capable.

Dear Reader:
That is very simple. Just boil

water, lead shot and fudge sauce.
Take your own temperature. Run
at top speed upstairs and take
your roommate's pulse. Return
slowly and if the ingredients
formerly put on tn boil ha"e not
boiled away, record the measure­ment!!
and the answer cannot fail
to be the correct one.
