Despite the fact that March 31 has come and gone and we were not announced as the winner of this year's Laetare Medal, do not imagine for a second that we are embittered. Nothing like that. Instead we shall buckle down to making a greater contribution to the field of literature, mindful at all times of the motto inscribed on the medal, "Magna €!st Veritas et praevalehit" (Truth is mighty and Axill prevail). . . . Next year may be our year!

(Continued on page 32) Washington Hall was once inhabited by a trumpet-tooting, paper-shuffling ghost with a flair for riding transpai'ent horses. So gather 'round the caniijfire, kiddies, while we tell you this strange tale of long ago. It was the year 1920 whan most of you had yet to celebrate your first birth­ day and Washington Hall looked much the same then as it does today. At the time of our story, part of the music hall was used as a dorm for student profes­ sors. One of these student profs was John Buckley, who, in eai'ly December, was pursuing his philosophy course. On this particular night John was working on, of all things, his epistemology theme at the unholy hour of two o'clock. Now we realize that people who work in epis­ temology themes at two o'clock are to be watched closely, not imitated. But nevertheless, John was a level headed boy. Soon he was attracted by a strange noise as if someone wei*e rattling papers under his door. Knowing that the mail­ man was hardly that ambitious and be­ ing a deeply religious fellow, John rushed to the door, a rosary in one hand and a baseball bat in the other. To open it? Silly boy, to lock it as it had never been locked before. Upon reporting his experience to the other boys, they mere­ ly laughed and told John that his episte­ mology was getting the better of him.

11 That Building across the Lake

By JACK SULLIVAN

It's safe to say that almost everyone on the campus has, at one time or an­ other, i2rquired wonderingly, "What's that over there?"—^That, referring to a vine-covered edifice on the northern shore of St. Mary's Lake. The building so much in question is Holy Ci'oss Semi­ nary, and is greatly responsible for the famous University of Notre Dame, since the majority of priests now at the Uni­ versity once began their careers under Holy Cross Seminary its roof.

The Institute, sponsored by the Tole­ do Council of Catholic Men in coopera­ tion with the University, opened in To­ ledo last week and will continue through April. The Bureau of Economic Re­ search at Notre Dame was organized in 1937 to make special studies on financial, industrial, economic and similar prob­ lems. Father Keller said, in paz-t: "The main economic argument against our free, enterprise system is that it is a system for the few—that through" exces­ sive concentration of wealth and income the great mass of workers are kept to a poverty level of living. "Available statistics disprove this contention. "While there is proof of inequality in both wealth and income distiibution, there is no proof, except to the contrary, that there is effective concenti-ation of either wealth or income."

"Some of these pictures have Dame in which the students may have Genei-al of Quebec, Canada, one hundred wandered far since they were finished by the opportunity to study great pictures, and thirty-six paintings, purchased in their respective artists, some of them with profit of the best kind,"—J. Walker Rome from the noble Braschi family, kinsmen of Pope Pius VI. Some of the canvases on display belonged at one time to Cardinal Fe-^ch, an uncle of Napoleon I, some of them to the Capuchin monks of Benevento, and the rest to the Sciarra- Colonna family. Seventy-four of the paintings were selected to adorn the walls of the galleries. To enlarge the work and make the collection representa­ tive of the best in Christian ai-t, Mr. Charles A. Wightman of Evanston, Illinois, a collector and lover of the beautiful in art donated, in memory of his wife, Cecila, an addition of one hun­ dred and eight masterpieces as a mem­ orial of a lifelong devotion to her be­ loved Church. This addition brought the total to two hundred and twenty-five works of art which fill more than four large rooms and constitute what is known as tlie Wightman Memorial Art Gallery. In 1932 the Wightman Gallery was augmented by the presentation of the Wickett collection, donated by Mrs. Fred­ erick H. Wickett as a memorial to her husband, a prominent Chicago attorney. A casual stroll through the rooms of the gallery will reveal such outstanding canvases and drawings as, "A Self Por­ trait and Landscape," by Rubens; Van Dyck's "The Crucifixion;" and "The Ma­ donna of the Oak," by Francesco Penni, who studied under the great .Raphael. The works of the seventeenth century Spanish Artist Murillo are on exhibition as ai-e those of Tintoretto, landscape painter, John Constable. The Wickett collection includes a four- poster bed from the Medici Palace in Fiesoli, dating from the sixteenth cen­ tury. The most striking feature about the bed is its small size which indicates it was occupied by one of the young Medici's Among other items in the col­ lection are an intricately carved oak table belonging to Pope Clement XII, a gilded mantlepiece of the Borgias and a The Madonna Enthroned—^North Italian School.

15 THE MADONNA AND SAINTS painted by an unknown artist of the French School. Bul­ letin of the National Society of Antiquarians of France identifies it as authentic XIV cen­ tury, between 1385 and 1392. Painting hung originally in the home of St. Bridget in Rome. Pope Pius IX gave this house to the Congre­ gation of Holy Cross. The artist anticipated action of the Church by painting halo about St. Catherine who was not canonized until 1482.

THE CRUCIFDaON by Sir Anthony Van Dyck (1599-1641) is one of the prizes of the University collection. The middle-aged wom­ en kneeling in adoration is presupposed to be the donatrix. The picture is noteworthy for the luminous quality of the Savior's body ond.the unearthly splendor of the eclipse of the sun. A pupil of Rubens, Van Dyck soon made his reputation as portraitist of lames I of England, of Cardinal Bentivoglio, and of Charles I of England, of whom he painted 36 portraits. Darling of the English aristocracy he returned to Antwerp, his native city, in 1640 to meet with a magnificent welcome. After Ruben's death he became the acknowl­ edged head of the Flemish school. He re­ turned to London shortly and died there. Mos- ter of drawing, chiaroscuro, purity of color­ ing. Van Dyck is one of the few painters ac­ corded a first rank by all critics.

The hand-shaped sycamore behind Corby Hall has an old Indian legend to its credit. According to the old tale told by the Potowatomie Indians who used to roam the shores of St. Mary's Lake, it marks the spot where a friend of a" Potowatomie chief Avas killed by a venge­ ful paleface. The tree supposedly grew where the Indian fell, with its branches lifted in supplication. There are many other sycamores on the campus; the syc- • amore forms a part of the many other legends and traditions connected with this part of Indiana.

28 History Dept. to Begin Lecture Series Apr. 11 The faculty and students of the De­ partment of History will begin Thurs­ day evening, April 11th, a series of three discussions on the historical aspects of the problem of "Church and State." The plan for the meetings, which will be held in the lounge room of the Rockne Me­ morial, is to have two members of the History faculty present brief papers on historical problems of the relationship between Church and state, after which the meetings will be thrown open for general discussion. While the discus­ sions are primarily for students major­ ing to History, all students are welcome to attend since the nature of the topic and the informality of the meetings will be of interest to all who are taking his­ tory classes.

In the first meeting, on Thursday eve­ ning April 11, at 7:30 p.m., in the Rock­ ne Memorial Lounge, the general topic will be the problem of Church and State in the Mediaeval period. The brief opening papers ^^^ll be given by Pro­ fessors James Coi-bett and Robert Tschan, both of whom are specialists in Mediaeval Histoiy. The chairman of the meeting, will be Brother Edmund Hunt, C.S.C., Professor of Ancient History.

The second meeting will be held on Thursday evening, April 25, when the Our New Men's Shop discussion will be led by Professors M. A. Fitzsimons and W. D.

Du Pont chemists began a study of polymerization in 1928. They experi­ mented with dibasic acids and within two years had succeeded in forming polyesters with molecular weights up to 25,000. In the spring of 1930, on remov­ ing one of these "superpoljiners" from the molecular stUl, one of the chemists •noted that it could be drawn out into a thin strand, like taffy candy.
