We are the heirs of all that wealth of human values, and it behooves us to learn whereof our heritage consists. We need to become fully aware and conscious of the treasures of thought and the pre­ cious principles of practical human and Christian living which our mediaeval past has bequeathed to us."

All courses of study offered by the In­ stitute are graduate courses. Certain prerequisites in language, history, and philosophy are necessary, but deficien­ cies may be made up if the student has not done the adequate undergraduate work. For students who have heard the call to scholarship, this work is partic­ ularly appropriate, because mediaeval thought and learning is peculiarly a Catholic heritage. To let your scholar­ ship serve as leaven among your fellow- scholars is a high form of Catholic Ac­ tion, and most important to society, for it is the scholar who moulds the thought and culture of the age. In the short time of its existence, the Institute has receiv­ ed original pieces of manuscripts and sheets of mediaeval music dating bacK to the ninth century, submitted for deci­ phering. And, interestingly enough, there have come requests from two Protestant m-inisters desiring information on the mediaeval theological doctrines. Thus the prestige of this Catholic research center is already being realized.

The whole affair was reigned over by the carnival king, John "Ace" Clemens, of Evansville, Ind., and his queen Miss Jody Capen, of Springfield, Ohio.

For months telephone men have been hard at work—in offices and in the field. One group has carefiilly studied business and population trends and has forecast the tele­ phone needs of the community for years to come. Another has determined the amount and types of eqviipment that will best meet these needs. Still others have found ways to make this new equipment a part of our world-wide communications network. At our Western Electric plants the tele­ phone equipment—the switchboards, frames and switcl ng mechanisms, the cable, wire and relays—nas been scheduled and is al­ ready being manufactured. All this ai d more before the groiuid was broken! The telephone business is a constantly ex­ panding business in which thousands of college men are finding interesting and re- wardingcareers.There'safutureintelephony.
