Dimmed Ligh ts
The world pays tribute to Thomas Alvah Edison.
The man who solved so many problems for
humanity was unable to ward off the hand of
Death.
At ten o'clock, October twenty-first, in t he
White House, the occupants stood still for one
minute in the dim light afforded only by the rays
of the moon filtering through the shades. In that
minute of dimmed lights people could realize to
t he utmost what Edison did for humanity, for
they could but faintly perceive the surrounding
obj~ts. It was then that they understood how the
world was benefited by the incandescent el~tric
lamp. Besides this, Edison invented the motion
picture camerll, t he phonograph and more than
eleven hundred other electrical devices.
It is not only hecause of the result of his
labors that we honor him. His untiring energy in
his youth is also well worthy of being imitated by
young people of today. His life was an uphill
climb; from newsboy, after losing many subse­quent
positions, he finally seemed to settle down
as telegraph operator. But Providence smiled on
the persevering Edison; his labors began to be
rewarded and during his long life he saw his
dreams become reality.
Great men mourn for him; they all acclaim hil
genius as the "Electric Wizard." Rulers all over
the world cabled their solicitude during his illness.
Pope Pius XI admired him as a benefactor to man_
kind.
Edison believed in no specific religion, yet he
was not an atheist. He believed in II Supreme
Being hut in his field of science he said that he
could not find "proof of immortality." We can
but \lity him for the gift of light which was most
denied him who had brought mater; .. l light to men .
Thomas Alvah Edison died Sunday, Oetober
eighteenth, 'It the age of eighty-fuor; yet he lives
in the lighted ways of the world.
THE GLEANER
The Stamp Question
We are hearing rather strong rumors to the
effect that no longer will we expend only two cents
for mailing a letter. Postmaster-General Wa ~ter
Folger Brown has rccommended to CongrelS a new
stamp of 2'h or 3 cents to meet a defi cit ;n the
United States Post Office that now appl'oaches
$ 100,000,000 a year. He claims that two cenh is
not enough for the service of deliver:ng a lette··.
In opposition to Mr. Brown, Representative
Clyde Kelly of the House Committee on Postal
Affairs contends t hat it is "logical that the Gove ~ n­ment
should transport and delive,' private mail for
less than cost."
Congress will decide in December whether 01' not
the two cent stamp will be "a t hing of the pa~t."
This is another case which shows the power of
a penny. One penny increase on stam\l3 to an
individual mltY he of trifling importance, unless
that person be an extensive correspondent; yet to
a nation it means millions of dollara It is only
when we realize this latter point that the :;:eal of
great financiers who conjure weighty arguments
pro and con on t his one cent increase, appear.'!
justifiable.
H. G. Wells, one of England's most di stinguished
living authors has been vociferously demand:ng
that the lead;ng governments of the world, the
United States, Great Britain, France, G~rmany,
and Russia set up an "effective 'dictator.sh:p of
prospHity' for the whole world." According to
his view3, the world because of its inventions has
become more compact and it should now be con­trolled
as one "world business." Mr. Wells is
often liable to overlook the other side of an argu­ment
completely. Yet, we wonder if the arrival
of Premier Laval from France will not mark a
I new era in the hinding of nations, and incidentally
be a step toward a rational solution of world
problems. C. H. '33 .
What Price Education!
"Learning by study must be won;
'Twas ne'er entailed from sire to son."
There remain but few who today think of a col­lege
as a "place like a temple, a house of awe"
where knowledge is beauty and beauty is life. To
earnestly strive to inculcate this idea is our
endeaVOl'; to instill a love of learning into the
hearts of youth, who will _one day pass into t he
shade of life, would be the fulfillment of our fond­est
dreams.
Too often are we, who are so vitally concerned ,
unablc to refute the accusations made even with
a pointing finger of shame. Is it true that when
we think of Byron saying, "The days of our youth
are the d<lYs of our glory," we thing only in terms
of a care-free, joyful world in which adolescent
minds need have no vital interest or toward which
they need feel no obligation? We may answer
negatively, and in all truth.
We must dip deep and long into the wen to draw
forth those essentials which constitute strength of
character, which teach how to develop persever­ance
and to exercise common sense. We lnust
and do realize that he who decides to follow the
path of education assumes simultaneously a re­sponsibility
and an obligation. He becomes s
moral asset to the community and a rem:nder that
"education (of the right sort) is the chief defense
of nations."
Let us then lay a firm grasp on all the in tel!ect­ual
opportunities that lie before us and thus be
able to smile with satisfaction when we hear
Shakespeare say,
"Like as the waves make toward the pebbled shore
So do our minutes hasten to their end."

"Niagara Index",
Niagara University,
Niagara, New Work.
The initial acknowledgment of
the year 193 1-1932 is extended to
The Niugu)'u hldex. Why? The
l"Cason is a weighty one for the
radical change~ made in the make­up
and contents of the editorial
and sport pages necessarily pro­voke
and deserve much favol'able
comment. "Murmllrings of the
Gorge" and "Reminiscing" un·
doubtedly add a true journalistic
touch to the Index. The innova­tions
are nothing less than a great
success, Mr. Editor!

congratulations to Niagara Uni·

From the editorial on "Be Your_

sophomores, freshmen- Attention!
Your services are being enlisted to
curb the symptoms of sham pre­tenses
and "high hat" delusions af­fected
by the few. A smile at the
opportune moment is much more
effective than a pained expl'ession
and negative attitude - Pepsodent
proves that fact. . . In conclusion
may we suggest:
"011. wad SOllW POWel' the giltie

those three Heeting days in close

fragrant as roses and incense. Re·

we feel. was indeed a hal)py and a

to our retreat master, Rever'

to the gt"('at truths of OUr l"('ligion

"I will hear what the Lord God

We learned in our fi)'st confer_

withdraw for a while from the

conferences of the fil'1lt day includ_

life, mortal sin, and death. How
beautifully did Father explain the

The Centenary of "Norma," by
ths great Italisn composer Bellini,
waa celcbrated on September 28 in
Bergama, Italy. The role of "Nor­mil"
was sung by SC8.::ci8ti, one of
Italy's greate$l sopranos. Inciden­tally.
"Norma" was l"('vived several
years ago by the "Metropolitan"
for Roan Ponsel1e and since then
this superb singer has made the
role her "piece de resistance". See_
ing and hearing Pon!\elle as "Nor­ma"
is an experience t hat no one
ever could forget. A Centensry
~uch as this one makes us wonder
when America wiU produce another
Bemni, Verdi or P uccini.
That the Dance is not being
negleo::ted in Rochester is shown by
t he audience that attended the
Dads Humphrey-Charles Weidman
Recital in Kilbour n Hall, Novem­ber
2. It was a highly a)'listic and
beautiful prog,'am and th(! audio
~ n ce gave an evidence of its appre·
ciation by t he appbulle.
November 2 marked t.he opening
of the operatic season in New
York. The Metropolitan opened
with Verdi's beloved "La Travia·
ta." based on the story " La Dame
A ux Camelias" by Dumss. Pon­selle
was the tragic heroine. This
was lhe fifth time in her ahort
caretI' that this singer has had the
honor of opening the Metropolitan
opera season. In our humble
opinion no other artiste is so well
worthy of this privilege, except
perhaps Lucrezia Bori. From al!
reporh it was a glorious night for
srtish, management and audience.
We wish the company II wonderfu l
season. The interest manifested by
New Yorkers show8 th.t they ap­preciate
and understand gr.nd op_
cra. They have our s incere con·
gratulations on their good taate.
Business in the New York con­cert
halls is very good. Ninety·five
concerts are li~ted for November,
including re<:itals of voo::al, )Iiano,
instrumental and orchest)'al music.
Richard Tauber, famous German
lyric tenor, will make his bow in
New York at four IIOng recitals in
November. Let us hope that he
will live up to his preas notice!.

Dr. J. E. Hagerty of Ohio State

that industry has been ove,' organ­ized,

t he Doctor. The keynote of Pope
Pius' Encyclical was judged by the
peaker to be found in these words:
"Free competition is dead, cco·
nomic dictatorship has taken its
place."
The Director of t he Social Action
Department of the National Cath­olic
Confere nce at Washington, D.
C., Dr. John A. Ryan, was the last
speaker on the afternoon program.
Dr. Ryan is national!y known and
the audience had anxiously looked
forward to the answer he would
give to "Unemployment - What
Can Be Done About It!" The np­plause
which greeted him as he
aSC(lnded the platform proved that
facl. His answer was clear-cut
and definite with no beating about
the bush whateve,·. Dr. Ryan out­lined
his plan by which five billion
dollars would be expended for pub­lic
works; the money for such a
project could be raised by issuing
Federal bonds, with an interest of
U%. He said that there was a
posaibility 01 that plan being pre_
sented before the next Congress in
the fo rm of a bill. (Dr. Ryan has
~ince been invited to present his
ideas before a Senate committee.)
His talk was constructive for he
faced the si tuation squarely and
offered a very reasonable remedy.
The problem of unemployment
must be sol ved immediately a nd re­lief
muat bg soulI;ht not from
the local o" ganizations, but from
the Federal organizations. Dr.
Ryan critici~d t he attitude of
Harriet Hoock, '34.
"$Ome of our noted officiala" on
their lack of realism and knowl_
~dge in dealing with the present
day question of unemployment.

Juniors Choose
Patron Saint
On Wednesday morning, the last
day of Retreat, October 21, the
Junior Claas chose as its patron,
Saint J oseph. The dass heard
Mass and l'~eived Holy Commun­ion
in a body. Miss Betty Griffin,
president of the Junior Class, of­fered
the prayer of dedication in
which St. J oseph's protection in
liIe and death was sol ieited; suc­cess
in college undertakings peti­tion
for, and devotion promised to
the most humble of saints. All the
students, of course, are bound to a
special remembrance of this spouse
of Mary, guardian of Mary's Child,
and patron of the Universal
Church, and ])articularly here at
Nazareth, a name which must draw
His loving glance frequently and
fondly u]lOn ou r College. The Jun­iors,
however, are to be congratu­lated
upon their wisdom in seeking
his special patronage for their
class. Let us not forget that Wed­nesday
of every week ia dedicated
espeeially to St. Joseph, a~ the
candle burning before him on that
day reminds us. Let us also hope
that the example of the Juniors
will bring about great increase in
devotion to the protector of Naza-reth

The Essay Corner
ON CONVERSATION
Conversation is a tremcndous
power in molding and influencing
for good and fo r evil. Since OUI'
obj~t in life is to ]Iroouce the max­imum
good, we have no alternative
- we must cultivate, to the great­est
degl'Ce which our talents per­mit,
the art of conversing.
I call conversation an al't--i Q\'
truly, it is just that. Art atands
fo\' selection, rejection, beauty. In
tll't t here is no \'oom for careless­ness,
it is unknown-it does not
exist.
It would seem that we know com­paratively
litt le of the vast import­ance
of our conversation. We are
found 80 a)pallingly wanting in
the realization that a mere bit of
id le gossip, dropped thoughtlessly,
is often the root of a ruined repu­tation,
a broken life. We are lack_
ing in the true appreciation of the
fact that a conatr uctive idea, whcn
carefully placed,is often the in~pir_
ation to a life of service. How
much more beautiful our conversa­tion
would be if only we wel'C juat
a trifle less careless, a little more
selective, if only we were mOre keen
in the rej~tion of seemingly ha r m­iess
words, which can prove so dia­astrous
to ourselves and to others.
Matthew says, "I say unto you,
that ev"ry idle word that men shall
speak, they ahall render an account
for it in the day of judgment. For
by thy worda thou shalt be justi .
fied, and by thy words thou shalt be
condemned."
Dorothy J. McGhan, '34.

TO THE STUDENT
The students have been granted
one hour each week to carryon
Student Adminiatration succesaful­Iy.
Let us make the resolution to
attlend Studenh' Hour regularly,
s ince it is the only place our hon­est
opinions concerning student ac­tivities
can be expressed and our
problems solved. Irregular attend­ance
means deprivation of the
hour. This would neceasitate either
the calling of innumerable meet­ings
at noon or the failu re of an
students to have a voice in Student
government. Both altel'natives are
equally distastefUl.
The straight five dollar fee of
last year has been abandoned.
Each club will manage its own
finances. P rompt payment of these
dues means prompt action by the
clubs. Will you not co_operate, so
that t hia yeal' may be outstanding
in club achievements?
Rememher that Upperclassmen,
especially the Seniors, are accorded
precedence. Up to this time no
consideration at all has been given
to then>. Remember that some day
you, too, will be an Uppe,·c\assman.
Finally, let ua show at least com­mon
politenesa to any speakel' who
has the floor at any meeting. It is
most discou raging to have to try to
see whose voice is most powerful.

Isn't it a fact that the player

Conference School
of Catholic Action
at Canisius College
Necessity of Catholic Lead­ers
Stressed
At Canisius College, Saturday,
October 31, a Conference School of
Leadership, modeled afte.· the
Summer School of Catholic Action,
was conducted by Fathel' Alfred
Barrett, S. J., Moderator, and Mr.
Thomas Gavin, president of the
Western New York Conference and
prefect of the Canisius Sodality.
The school opened with the Missa
Recitata in the College Chapel. A
welcome was extended to the dele­gates
by the Reverend Father
Eichorn, S. J., head of Canisius
College. A stl"iking point brought
out in his address was the analysis
of the characteristics of a leader,
namely, knowledge and authority,
courage, virtue, and success,
Mr. Thomas Gavin then showed
the necessity for leaders and most
of all the necessity for Catholic
leaders in the world today who will
choose for theil' model the great
modern Leader, Christ, combating,
as He, the same problems today
which existed in the time of Christ,
divorce, state worship, impurity,
excessive wealth and wretched
poverty.
Father Barrett followed this
with an explanation of the purpose
of the Sodality, the same today as
that of its founder in 1563, in a
word, the inculcation of pel'sonal
holiness overflowing into Catholic
action. Since the Sodality is the
laboratory of religion he stressed
the idea of the formula of life "Ad
Jesum pel' Mariam." The various
committees were individually treat_
ed and discussed and valuable sug­gestions
were offered.
The afternoon was given over to
speakers on t he different phases of
the Sodality work, especially the
apostolic work. The policy of the
Mariana was presented and also of
the Conference Booklet exchange
project. The two great projects of
the year were outlined, namely, the
high school oratorical contest and
the college symposium.
On the whole, it was a day's work
well done as everyone felt as the
Conference School closed with the
reci tation of the "Memorarc,"
