We were fortunate in securing
the services of the l)rominent jour­nalist.
Mr. Alphonse J. Sigl, to con_
duct II class in journalism. The
course is not intended merely for
thow who wi~h to enter the neW8-
paper field, but for all who would
like to improve their journalistic
style.
College students IIChooled in t he
Cla.n iC5, tend toward a florid style_

The ~tudcn ta are taught the art of

The courlle ineludCll a study of
the history of the press, and the
procedure of editing 3 newspaper.
Actual papers, dating back to colo­nial
days, are procured for the stu­dent'a
peru~a !. A vi sit to the news­paper
office is an interesting feat­ure
of the course.
The public speaking cla!lll, newly
organized thia year, has created .II
great interest throughout the col­lege.
It al~o i, under the able di ­rcctouhip
of Mr. Alphonll(l J. Sigl,
who hilS a speciAl gi ft of making
clu$lI(lll interesting. In the fil"llt
meeting, Mr. Sigl exprcssed his in­tention
of training the 'tudenls to
think clearly when called UI)On for
impromptu speechell. He don not
wish to make orators out of the pu­pils,
nor doe~ he w!ah the ('loIS to
be an "elocution lesson"_ He mere­ly
wants to instil into the 8~udenta
a power of thinking clellrly, and of
eXI'J"('ssing their thoughts with pr&­elsion.
The first aasi&'l'lment was II
thirty second speech on "Why Tske

class proved very interesting; lind
it also illustrated the real value of
individuality. Future alS$ignmenta
include debate, ar&'tlmentation, for­mal
and informal after _ dinner

We are glad to have Mr. Sig!

New Books in Library
The nrw books in the library
should hold inspiration to fresh en­deavor
in many fields since they
have been well chosen with a viow
to interellt as well (\s for informa_
tion. Our store of books on re­ligion,
which never fails uncellB­ingly
to occupy the mind of man,
hllB been increased by "The Life of
All I.iving" and "Religion without
God" by that eminent Dr. Fulton
J. Sheen, with whom we all feel ae­quninted
through his radio talks
during thl" Catholic hour last win­ter;
by "The Coming Age and the
Cathol:c Church" by William Bar­ry;
by "The Passion Play at Obe­rammergtlu"
by Janet Swift, II sub­ject
ill which we cannot help but be
abwrbed after the r~ nt prt'SCnta­tion.
For the student of human char­Rcter,
who finds his mat erial in
biography, there are: "Mother AI­phonsa"
by J ames J. Wal~h and
"Roosevelt" by Owen Wister, both
of which will greatly appeal. The
government classell will find ample
supplementary reading on modern
illsues in "The World Court" by
Antonio Sanche~ de Bustamante,
"The Democratic Party" by F rank
Kent, "The Republican Party" by
William Myers. "Look to the Eallt"
by Fl'ederich Palmer, "The Fal'
East" by Payson TI'est and "Bol_
IIh('vist Russia" by Anton Karl_
gorcn. Those endeavodng to culti_
vate gQOd prolle style will find val­uable
help in "The Art of Writing
Prose" by Roger Loomill, whilll
those interested in books from any
point of view should read "MastH
ft.lakers of the Book" by William
Orcult. The astronomers are fav_
r,red in the selection cf new books
since we find among them: "Com­ets"
by Charles Olivier, "The G«·at
A!ltronomerll" by Henry Smith
Williamll. Among the nO\'cls are:
"The High Road" by Grace Keon;
"Black Soil ," the Extension magll_
Joine, and Stratford $2,000 pri:te
novel, by J O!lephine Donovan. Es­says
are repre!!Cnted by "Generally
Speaking" by our inimitable Gil­bert

pleasure the~e new books will
bring, our lei sure hours will be well
provided fllr.

Heroil5m
Here and there Ilmong hiatory's endle.'" incidents,
we lind a page written in lett(lnl ot gold, B page
whollt' starry brightneu shines like a beacon, whose
tale ot heroism is a torch of inspi ration ftullg to
Bucceeding civili;:ations, lighting the way to courage
and glory. Such a page is one torn from the history
of our own etate, und ih etory ie thut of out North
American Mis~ionR!'y Saints. It ie a story of sheer
heroism, of a conlll,lming love for Christ, which
Father Jogul." and hi~ companiona carried high like
a banner, implanting it with the cost of their lives in
the midst of the wilderness.
Queen Anne of Au!tria once said to her court in
the pr(>S(lnce of J oguel: "Romances aN written
every day. H('re il onf" that is true and that com­bines
the wonderful with the heroic." Fnther J OgU~5
was an ariv('nhU"l.'r for Chl"ist. He sailed for un­known
shores, not for gold, or fume, but for souls.
His king wal n h~avenly one, hi" ter ritory the
Mohawk country, peopled by one of the moat dreaded
savage tribes of t he New World.
For thrillini\' adventure, his last journey ia unsur·
paued. I like to think of him setting out frcm
Quebec in September of 1646, facing undaunted a
trip which afforded t remcndous difficulties. Slowly
he advanccd t hrough what ar(l now the Adirondack
Mountains, pas~i ng ngain through beautiful Lake
George, to which hc had given the wonderful name
of "Lake of the Bleued Sacrament", beeause he had
seen it for th!' lirst time on the ev!' of Corpn~
Chrillti. One<' more he saw its pine-bordered ahores,
. its island-doUed watera shimmering in the sunshinc,
nnd as his canoe rounded the last bend, he turned
for a farewell glante at t he lake he had named for
hill beloved Christ.
Hie death nt the Mohawk village, Ouernenon,
wherc St. John Lalande and St. Rene Goupil were
al~o martyred brought to a dOIl(l a life of love and
~rifice---one that Wf\l truly courageous lind won_
derful.
Today OUnl is the heritnge that he and his martyr
companior..r; have handed down to u.s, OUnl the Faith
he transplanted to an unfriendly, but promising soil.
We look to St. Isaac J ogUE'5 in an especial way, not
only because he ill a wi nt especially dear to us, but
because hill wa, the life of undying heroi sm. the
heroillm of Christ.

German class. The very artistic
prodUction of "Siegfried " and
"Kriemhilde's Revenge" from the

says: "Einstein ill the only one
whom no one as yct has accused of
plagiarism." Who knaws but some­one
mlly yet do that?

Strange, isn't it now, how villain­ous
members of .the othe.· political
party can be a.ro-un.d e lection time? The recent apart.'! line-up in the

What Is Theta Nu
Sorority All About
Theta Nu is the sorority, whoS(!
mtmbers take thei r degrees in e.ven
yearll, fo r example '32 and '34.
Theta Nu, meaning "daughters af
Nazareth,"'has for its primal'y aim
the development and strengthening
of the "big sister" and "little sis·
t('r" plan for unity. It was organ­i>.
ed to produce and promote a spir­it
of fripndshi]J and congeniality
umong all its members in the Un·
dergraduate body and the Alumna!,
and to keep th~ latter in close con­tact
with the active $istcr-classes
throughcmt. the years. Social means
lire emphasized in the achievement
of this end. But with pragress the
!$orority hopes to broaden i16 inter_
ests illto mot'e serious fie lds pro­portionately.
Particularly this year
the sorority will stress organiza­tion,
unified strength, and inter·
sorority spirit. Success demands
t he enthusiagtic co-operation of
"very "sister". Be a real member!

Modern Language
Department Study

French seems to be the most
favored cOUl'$e. Selected works
of Moliere, Dumas. and Corneille
are being read by the more elemen­tal'y
claaSC$. Corneille's "Horace,"
and Chateaubriand's "Atala" uc
being read by the more advanced
claues. The course in lyric poetry
of the 19th and 20th centuries is a
popular one and interesting work is
being done in compllring the
French poetry with OUI' own Enl(­!
ish pootry of the 19th and 20th
centuriu. Conversation and note­taking
in French form is an im­portant
part of the work in thestl
cour.!es.
A great deal of interest has
been shown in the German COU"C!I.
There is a large claS.\! in Germsn
I. The work in this cou"e in­clud"
the rudiments of granlmar,
convenation, and the learning of
German script. The advanced
clas.s is reading Sc:hiller's "Maria
Stuart." They are allo studying
the history of Germsn literature
from its beginnings.
Italian too has its ardent rol­lowen.
The elementary claS.\! is
Itudying grammar. composition,
and pronunciation. The advanced
cla llll il reading selectiont from
Dante's "Inferno," also a hiltory
of Itldian literature. Through it
they are gaining a knowledge of
Italy's contributions to the eulture
of the world.
This year there is lin eager ele­mentary

shows that Sl)aniah is as popular

THE BETTER ROAD 0 .0
"ROADSIDE MEETINGS"
By Ha mlin Garland
In his "Roadside Meetings"
Hamlin Garland takes us on a
journey through the land of cre­ative
literature, a land peopled by
the famous artists of the period
just following the Civil War, the
period chaucterized by the growth
of "local-color fiction." Bostou
was then the center of the literary
world, a magic city representing
that which the young man craved.
So young Garland came to Boston
fl'om South Dakota, poor and in­experienced,
seeking lit era r y
knowledge.
He tells the fascinating story of
his young manhood by recounting
his literary experiences and meet·
ings with authors, artists, and
public men and women. He writes
intimately of these famous liter­ary
characters of his day, of the
inspiution received from Edwin
Booth; of his visit to Walt Whit­man,
living in obscurity in Cam_
den, New Jersey; of dining with
Rudyard Kipling, together with
J ames Whitcomb Riley; of visit­ing
the poet of the Sierras, Joa­quin
Miller, on his fruit farm in
California; of going the rounds
one night with Commissioner
Theodore Roosevelt.
The warm intimate tone, the
powerful words llowing along like
a stream, the atmosphere of cul­ture,
all charm us and make us
realize the power of Hamlin Gar­land.

COMRADES AT ARMS
By Paul Feva'
"My Queen needs me! Danger
beckons with outstretched arms!
Forward!" shouts Cyrano de Ber­gerac.
Thoroughly intrigued, you
sink deeper into your particular
arm chair. The familiar living
room becomes a tavern in the Rue
St. Michel; the music of the radio
becomes <.limmer. It slowly fades
away, and in your ears rings th",
challenge, "En garde!" thc swish
of rapiers, the rustle of cloaks
swiftly Bung aside. Adventure!
Dariugl Romance! A1\ are un·
folded in this sequel to those fas_
cinating volumes of "The Years
Between."
The Saturday Review of Liter_
ature said in speaking of the
"Years Between": "It would be
unfair to do more than hint at the
gorgeous adventures with which
these \'olumes Sl'e pucked." We
venture to say that "Comrades at
Arms" is equally thrilling. Sueh
glamorous character as Anne of
Austi'ill, and Cllrdinal Mazarin
move in its pages, and talk and
live in a dramatic tale of those
days when men risked all to gain
a throne, or love.
(Continucd on page seven)
Thomas R. Hnrrison, the shoe
store proprietor, looked up at the
~ound of a familiar voice, and
waved his trowel heartily in the
liir. "Well, Dave," hc called, walk·
ing over to th .. car now parked at
the curb, "I thought you m\l~t havt
fled town."
A middlt aged man in an up-to­the-
minute sport outfit was leaning
over the steering wheel of the ex­pensive
coupe. "Don't work yO\ll'
young life away; let 's take a little
spin."
"A happy suggestion for a weary
laborer. It's getting too dark t.;l
sec whether I'm pulling out weeds
or gladicla! now."
The two old chums rode past the
IIttractive row of comfortal;l~
homes on lianison Street, while he
hailed an oceasional neighbor, re­laxing
on an open porch 01' lawn.
They reached the broad highway
now densc with cars hurrying to
and from the heat of the city."That
breeze feeb great On my fnce, Dave
-it's wonderful. I sure cut a pret­ty
picture in my shirt sleeves next
to you."
Hi!! companion glanced at him
approvingly. The !,"Oif bag between
them gave evidence of his p"cviou3
employment. "I've had a tough
day, myself," he grinned. " Lcft
t he office at 2 :30 in order to keep
cool, and neady burned up on the
course."
N~ithm' spoke tor a few min·
lltes, while there ensued that
silence whirh is perfectly agreeable
to real friends . "How's the fam­ily,
Tom?" said the dl'iver, at
length. "I saw you and J ack com_
ing out of Rowland's a couple of
weeks ago."
"He's working for me this sum·
mer. PrHty bright in thr busi­n~
ss, too. I'd rather like to have
him come in with me when he fin­i$
hes college. Only anoth",r year,
you know."
"You must IJe proud of him."
"DOI'Othy and the girls al'e at the
lake for a few days; down with the
'E:vanses. Then, there's Jim. He's

Gra.nd during vacation. Just an
ollice boy."
"They're a great little family,
Tom, and I'm glad they're all get­ting
along so well. Shall we turn

Thanksgiving
Onl' of the most l"cassul'ing facts
in thc whole history of mankind is
the constant and reoccuring observ­IInee
of Thanksgiving. For, al­though
to the model'n American
mind Thank~giving appeals as
something distinctively our own,
~uch is not the Cllse but rather have
we given form, precision, definition
to an instinct of the heart, prime
Ilnd elemental. The beginnings of
this feast da~' are reflected in the
beginnings of the history of man
even fl'Om tl1l' Canaanites, who
were among the first to insti tute
th~ harvest festival, a nd from the
Hebrews who voiced their interiol'
gratitude in the Feast of Tabet·_
nacles. In Grceee we have the
Thesmophoris in honor of Demeter,
the foundress of agl'icu lture ami
guddess of the harvest; in Rome
the Cerelia was established with
Ceres as patron. The English ex­pression
of this sentimp.nt took the
form of the Harvest Home aroun..!
which many picturesque, native
customs have grown up, which in
the remote, rural districts still sur­vive.
Therefore the Pilgrims in
establishing their first authentic
han'est feast were following both a
uni"eual and a racial instinct
which demanded recognition of
their dependence upon God. As
time went on, these United Stato:s
found this setting aside of a special
Thanksgiving day so thoroughly in
accord with the spirit which fos­ter~
d its own inception that
Thanksgiving day, as we 110W ob·
serve it, has become a legal holiday
which enjoys nation-wide recogni_
tion on the third Thursday of No­vember
which, it is the hope of all
true patriots, may always be cele­brated
in the spirit of George
Washington's Thanksgiving Proc­lnmation
of 1789.
But man is not alone in thank­ing
God in this beautiful sea&on
of harvest, The bounty of the time,
the beauty of nature, the fruitful­ness
of the country_side ,the abun­dance
of plenty, the galaxy of col­on,
the profusion of sweet, mellow
odors, the warmth of myriad amb~r
lights bespeak a mute but indis­putable
praise of the Creator. Wc,
in our eelrbration of Thanksgiving,
are with our trifling tribute merely
joining thll swelling chorus of grat­itude.
Thnnksgiving day is meant to he
a fnmily day on which young and
old, actua ted by a common incen­ti\'
c, gather together on a day hal­~
owed by happy memol'ies of simi_
lar daY5 now gone by, when PH­haps
as children the color and cop­iousness
of the festivities were
most attractive, and enlivened by
(he anticipation of future times
when its celebration will have gath­ered
richer meaning with the
years.
Nevertheless, Thanksgiving, some­thing
more than a time fo r renew­ing
old ties of kin and friendship,
iR a national holiday, sharing in
the in!.t>nse plllriotic quslity of J uly
4th, is deeply rooted in our na-

the dose of day, simple but it
meant a great deal to every mem_
ber of thl' Junior Class, for at that
time we formally dedicated ou\'­selves
to the service of the Blessed
Mother and implored her speeial
protection throughout 'the coming
ve:lr. The act of consecration testi ­fies
OU1' love and devotion to the
Mothel' of God, our most powerful
interc~ssol' in heaven, and we eon­sidel'
it a high privilege to be in II
very special way consecrated to her
service.
We shall honol' her particularly
by wearing her miraculous medl\l,
since 19110 marks its centenary. Its
history is most in!.t>r~sting.
It was in Paris during the sec­ond
half of the yell\' 1830 that the
Blessed Virgin appellred sevel'al
times to Sister Catherine Laboure,
II humble Daughter of Chal'i!)'.
These apparitions were all very
much alike and were described in
detail by Sister Catherine.
"The Blessed Virgin was stand­ing
on a globe and hEl' facc W:'lS
beautiful beyond words. H(!r fing.
en were eov~red with precious
jewels, whose Jight da'l'zled me. And
I heard, 'Behold, the symbol of the
graces 1 shed upon thllse who ask
fol' them.' Then an oval fram2
formed around the Blpssed Virgin
:lnd r read in gold : '0 Mary, con­ceived
without sin, pl'ay for us who
have reeourse to thee.' The vision
reversed and r beheld the letter M
surmounted by a croSll, at the foot
of the cross a bar, and below all.
the H('srt of J caus Crowned with
thorns and the Heart of Mary
pierced with 1\ sword. A voice saiu
to me: ' Have a Mednl struck after
this model. When it h:ls been in­dulgenced,
they who Weal' it sus­pended
from the neck, will receive
nmny graces',"
From the time it was first given
to the world by Mary Immaculnte
through Sister Catherine, it hlls
worked wonders and merited the
name gi\'€n it by the people them­selves,
~lil'aculous. Many indu!­gences
can be gained by wearing
this meual and repenting the invo­cation.
The 27th of this month is the
forma! celebration of the centen­ary
feast, lind the J uniors are plan­ning
to obserl'e this occasion in a
tional history and has eluster('d
about it many predous trsditions.
Consiuering thia baekgl'Quml.
Thanksgiving should not be merely
another meaningless recess with its
attendant round of pleasures, fOGt­ball
games, and dances, nor merely
a time of abounding plenty and
gl':lcious hospitality ouring which
the ties of blood and affection are
renewed to again wax strong
thl'Ough the years, but it should be
a humble 1'I:cognition of our herit­age,
religion. Margaret Smith.

them a couple of weeks. That's
where you get your money. Should­n't
they receive some considera­tion?"
