Reverend Francis P. LeBuffe, S. J ., noted Jesuit and associate editor of America, will conduct the annual Day of Recollection at Em­manuel on Sunday, January 19.

Winifred Ward, '32, of Framing­ham, chairman of the day, urges all alumnae and their fri ends to attend. Old and new graduates are exhorted to plan to spend that day at the college and to take advan­tage of this unusual opportunity of obtaining spiritual refreshment in surroundings so beloved and so con­ducive to beneficial thought and resolution. lMiss Ward wishes to stress the fact that alumnae may invite their friends to accompany t hem to the Day of Recollection.

Holy Mass wiII be celebrated in the college chapel at 9 o'clock. Breakfast wi1l then be served in the cafeteria. During the morn­ing Father LeBuffe will deliver two conferences. After luncheon he will present the third and fina l conference. Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament a t 3 o'clock will close the program for the day.

Assisting Miss Ward in making preparations for the exercises are Elinor Rich, '31, of Quincy; Stella Bayko, '32, of Cambridge; and Ca therine Lane, '34, of P eabody.

The joy of the "old girls" at see­

documented study was warmly ap-plauded by a large and attentive audience.

The final session of the conven­tion was marked by the historical survey of the growth and develop­ment of Catholic Education in t he Archdiocese of Boston by Reverend Richard J. Quinlan, 1M. A., S. T. L., fOI'mer professor of Education at Emmanuel and present Diocesan Supervisor of Schools.

Since the publication of the last issue of the News, the Study Club movement under the direction of Alma Danforth, '26, has taken definite form and .promises to be one of the most effective projects o.n the Alumnae calendar .

On the Sunday following the October alumnae meeting, a group of interested volunteers met at the college and discussed at length var­ious plans of procedure. The sub­ject chosen for intensive study to "xtend ov·er a period of eight weeks was "CommUl1ism in the United Sta tes." Meetings have been held on a1ternate Thursday evenings at 7 o'clock in a spacious office on Beacon Street.

Topics for research and discus­sion were listed as follows: 1. Communism in the United

States. 2. History and philosophy of CO'IIl-

"A MAN SHALL SCATTER"

Interpretation of the true function of an alum­nae association is sometimes too narrow. The gen­eral constitutional statement of the object of such a body is "to promote the welfare of the college." Of two constructions which may be placed upon this statement, the loose is more likely to achieve the purpose that is the strict.

Strict interpretation tends to limit the activities of an alumna to participation exclusively in those projects directly concerned with contributing ma­terial support to her college. Such support is in­deed necessary, and the giving if it is to be com­mended and encouraged. But the soundness of the philosophy of loyalty underlying such exclusiveness is seriously to be questioned. For often the goal of such endeavor is merely the ,material enlargement of the college. Now the true alumna of any college has one ambition for her Alma IMater, not that it may necessarily become a bigger college, but that it may steadily become a better one.

A loose construction, therefore, is mOl'e desir­able since it permits a broader scope of activity that is conducive to another and vastly more important

-kind of enlargement, the extension of the influence of the college on contemporary thought. Impelled by this motive, alumnae 'who affiliate themselves with worthy learned, charitable, artistic, or professional organi~ations and exercise therein the talents which their college has developed and refined, are in a very real sense, promoting the welfare of the col­lege. They are propagating her name and her spirit, strengthening her influence by diffusing it, flinging abroad with open hand the seeds that in time will be harvested in the form of greater power and strength. But to produce the harvest "a man shall scatter, not hoard."

IN OURSELVES

W hen you fee l the periodic urge to bless the world by giving to it your answer to the question: "What is wrong with the world?" swallow hard and talk to yourself instead. Are you really being actuated by the pure flame of patriotism and an a~truistic effort to alleviate the burdened shoulders of Man? Or are you simply feeling sorry for your­self? Few know that there is a difference; but all of us are prone to self-pity, particularly if, after an expensive education, we find. that the world is not at our feet. We are not fond of walking.

When you speak of "the world" you cannot mean simply the combination of chemical properties that form five continents. Earth has no will. You mean the millions of human souls like you and me that have the will to do or not to do certain things. Then the question should be changed to: "What is wrong with ME?" Ask yourself that question and you will have discovered what is wrong with the world.

Between the covers of The Forgotten Man, the . leading best-seller of the day, almost eV'ery one has

written a chapter. Most of these have been con­cerned with the material and physical vicissitudes at tending the pursuit of happiness. The real pro-

blem is one of attitudes; the real need is for a pro­pel' balance between spiritual and ,materia l values and a respectable di~tance between the two. Most of us believe that the destiny of a people rests in the hands of its educated youth. So long as the destiny of a people rests in the hands of its educated youths that destiny will be a futile one. The destiny of a people rests not in the hands but in the souls of its educated youth.

CATHOLIC ACTION AND YOU

What is Catholic Action? Pope Pius XI has answered: "Catholic Action is

the participation of the laity in the hierarchical apostolate, for the defense of religious and moral principles, for the development of a healthy and helpful social action uncler the leader8hip of the Ecclestical Hierarchy, but outside and above a ll political parties, in order that Catholic life might be restored to the family and society."

The term cannot be applied to individual or group activity unsupervised by the bishops, but the success of the organized movement will depend upon the way in which the lay person follows commands and carries out assignments. This presupposes pre­paration and the assumption of personal responsi­bility by the individual Catholic, especially by the Catholic College alumna, on whom the obligation to militant service for Christ was conferred by the Sacrament of Confirmation and strengthened by Catholic education.

Her first duty is to take part in the growing movement that is bringing the Liturgy back into its proper place for the laity. For this is the basis of Catholic Action-realization that prayer is a social action performed for the worship of God in union with all other Catholics throughout the world by means of the /Mass and the other great liturgical serv"ices instead of by exclusively private devotions. As an outgrowth of this spiritual re-awakening must come participation in the social program of the Church, the use of talents and resources to further the Kingdom of God through Social Ju.tice and Social ·Charity.

The Study Club project among the AIUIlllnae was suggested as an attempt to prepare for our part as leaders in the great movement. T·he one group formed, which is described elsewhel'e in the News, has been carried on successfully and enthusiastically. From several sources, however, has come the ques­tion, "Do the study clubs have to treat Catholic subjects?" It will be apparent from the foregoing paragraphs that they do, for they are a means, not an end in themselves. They are a means of training Emmanuel graduates to become leaders in Catholic living.

Class Of '3.4 Holds 1:'-=-==--=-==-========::==================1 Winter Reunion WE CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE

Still bubbling ' over with the cheer and good will of the Christ­mas season, some 35 members of the class of '34 braved the frigid blasts of what was perhaps the coldest day of the old year to con­vene at the League House on Sun­~ay afternoon, December 29. The frozen atmosphere on the outside was shut out from the inside by the warmth of friendlY greetings, the strengthening of loosened ties, the incessant chatter of remini­scence, and, we might add, the clat­ter and tinkle of tea cups and sil­ver. By listening carefully, ac­cording to the best reportorial prac­tices, to conversations that were not always meant for our ears, we learned that almost everyone in the class is doing something-even if a few of us are doing it for naught. Another pleasant feature of t he event was the presence of many of 'lur out-of-town members.

The business meeting was brief, being concerned only with tenta­tive plans for a Bridge and Dance some time in April. Tea and dain­t ies were then served in generous quantities.

Alumna Addresses Prominent Educators

Mary Guyton, '31, State Super­visor of Alien Education of the Massachusetts State Department of Education, was one of the princi­pal speakers of the first New Eng­land Conference on Adult Education held at the Copley-Plaza on Decem­ber 10. At the Round Table meet­ing she took part in the discussion of "Adult Education in Action: Its Problems and Technique".

We Found The Way By Anne Joyce

A'll during college and after we were finally through, my own small group, and particularly the two of us who were not working, talked n:any times of what we o'~ght to de in the way of real charity. Of course, we never progr(>ssed any farther than t he talking because we had several excellent excuses, chief of which was that our effort~ would proouce such SlmaU l'e~u lts as to be practically useless. We were in­telligent and sensitive people, we insisted, but there was nothin.g with enough appealing force to make us bestir ourselves othe!' thall in great argument.

That is, not until last spring when we attended the ('!'ganization meeting of a Boston group of the Campion Propaganda Committee, a young people's organization inter­ested in furthering "The Cat holic Worker." Hel'e our vague notions of the great social mission of Doro­thy Day were clarified and crystal­ized into the realization that this woman is indeed doing the work of Christ in diffusing His doctrines among the working classes so of­ten the easy prey of Communism; in insisting through her organ, "The Catholic Worker", that the learned put into practice for the gooo of the unlearned the great social program of the Church; and in giving personally to the people to whose welfare she has dedicated

For example, once you have ac­cepted the idea of "gentle person­alism", which, with the doctrine of the Mystical Body of Christ, con­stitutes the basis for a ll the work, you naturally cannot hold the old theory that what SimaI'! good you alone can do is too minute to mat­ter. For this "gentle personal­ism" teaches that each one of us can find some way to aid those in need of materia l help. In other words, the idea of per­sonal responsibility reminds us of the fact that there are seven spiritual and seven corporal works of mercy, and that it is the duty of every Christian to perf!lrlTI those works of mercy voluntarily and with no insistence that "ther 'people live up to their respo.,sibili~i~s just because he happens to be f ~lOuld­

of the doctTine . cif the Mystical Body of Ghrist .. that all llle,1 aTf; our brothers, that "we nre all mem­bers, one of another." We Catholics who are surrounded by a world where profit is, in great part, the raison d'etre of accomplishment, cannot help being drawn by so pure, satisfying, and peacegiving a way of life.

All of this may seem foolishly idealistic. But the great systems and external agencies that for years have been trying to make rran's condition better have fail­ed. We are driven, therefore, to the only course which from the beginning could have saved us. That course, briefly stated, is this: if society is to be changed, each

Mrs. Sheed Again At Emmanuel

Bringing a breath of the Old World Catholic culture that once dominated England, Mrs. Maisie Ward Sheed talked for an hour in her delightful English accent, at Emmanuel College on the after­noon of October 23. Her subject this time was "The -Modern Gir l in a Changing World." Those of us who heard her two years ago at the college missed the charming personal anecdotes that she told about the great English writers who were personal friends of her family, but the omission is soon forgotten when one remembers her original, forcefu l distinction be­tween the conventions and the Commandments. This was a new thought to most of us and she used it to illustrate the responsibilities of young Cathoiic girls who are now being faced with t he problem of a social order which makes no such distinction.

The English are often accused of inability to see the humor in a situation. Mrs. Sheed's lecture, though ser ious in tone and in theme, was illuminated frequently by flashes of subtle humor.

Alpha Lambda Club Goes Forward

For the ninth consecutive time Alpha Lambda we1corr.ed a host of friends from Lawrence and sur­rounding cities to its annual Christ­mas dance at the Andover Country Club on December 27. The commit­tee in charge included: -M. Adelaide O'Sullivan, '32, chairman; Madalyn IMahoney, '29, Margaret Doherty, '29, -Mrs. Frank IMcCarthy, '33, Mary Haggerty, '36, and Elizabeth 'Sull ivan, '26, president of t he club. More than 300 guests, graduates and undergraduates, danced to the ·music of Hal -McDonald's orchestra and enjoyed the entertainment ar­~'anged by the committee.

In November, Mary .McEneaney, '27, was in charge of a bridge party which proved to be very success­ful. It was preceded by an inform­al talk by RusseIl Barlow, an in­terior decorator, whose subject, "New Trends in Decorating" pleased the large audience. Pro­ceeds were presented to a newly established parish in Lawrence.
