The announcement of the meeting declared: “Because it has, long since, fallen to skepticism, the world in which we live refuses to recognize the teach- ings of Christ and denies the human intellect power to penetrate to basic truths, substituting for right reason inadequate, unnatural philosophies. As the result the world is close to chaos and most of the men in it are living uncertainly, blind followers of inhuman principles. To save modern men and to establish order in the present disorder, it is necessary to return to right reason, to bow to the truths the human intellect can reach and to accept the truths Christ car- ried into the world. Power of Press “In the work of this reconstruc- tion the press assumes an important position. Its apparent weakness in the present disorder is no denial of its great capabilities. The press is able to direct men to right action in con- temporary affairs as no other power. But it can be seen at once that for the press to direct others it must be directed itself by wise editors and deep-thinking writers and reporters. What makes men wise, what makes them think deeply and what makes them know truth are the virtues of wisdom, understanding and science. Wisdom is knowledge of the highest truths and the ordering of particular truths to them. Understanding is penetration into truth. Science is the drawing forth of new truths from others already known. Thus at the bottom, lies truth which must direct the study, the writing and the edit- ing involved in the labors of the press. “There are two means by which man attains truth, like two paths converging upon Truth Itself: faith, supplying truths, especially super- natural truths, which men believe but do not fully understand; and reason, by which men understand natural truths. These two are not opposed, nor are they substitutes for each other. If faith is the more im- portant because it assists man in saving his soul, it is nevertheless not a substitute for reason for it does not supply all the truths men use to live well, nor does it bring full un- derstanding. The intellect, the high- est faculty in man, must direct him, and faith directs and fertilizes rea- son. “Thence it is clear that truth must rule, through faith and reason, and the press must serve. “But how is the press to serve? What is the certitude of faith? How efficacious is reason? And what is a Catholic thinker? “These are the considerations upon which the program of the Catholic Educational Press Congress is based.” FOR A REAL HAIRCUT, ITS THE ARDMORE BARBER SHOP Jay M. Hanley, Prop. MANICURIST WEST 4788 1622 W. WISCONSIN AYE. MILWAUKEE, WIS. By BETTI ANHEUSER Blond Carol Mayer, grand mistress of Kappa Beta Gamma, divides her time between the Tripoli golf club and her own darkroom. For she is both a golf fiend and a camera “bug.” Harsh descriptives. But then, any- one who played that game “every day” this summer . . . and, too, any- one who displays such a deep in- terest in photography as to have her own darkroom . . . Carol has nurtured an assortment of chemicals, albums and negatives for two years now. Of course the pride of the lot is her Eastman Bantam kodak, while her sub-hobby is getting “odd and unusual por- traits.” To date Carol finds that Milwaukee's Third ward offers the most in color and variety. She Knits Own Sweaters But color and variety also exist in Carol's other spheres, or rather maelstroms, of activity. One is her adroitness with the needle-either Two M.U. Alumni Ordained Jesuits Two Marquette university alumni, the Rev. Cyril N. McKinnon, S.J., and the Rev. Roswell C. Williams, S.J. were among these ordained to the Jesuit priesthood at exercises, June 20-22 at St. Mary's college, Kan. Father McKinnon celebrated his first Solemn High Mass at St. John's church, Antigo, Wis., June 26, and Father Williams at St. Mary's church, Fennimore, Wis., the same day. Came From Antigo Father McKinnon attended St. John's parochial school and the An- tigo High school. He graduated from Marquette university with a Bache- lor of Arts degree in 1925. After an extensive tour of Europe and the East, studying and writing newspaper features, Father McKinnon entered the Society of Jesus no- vitiate at Florissant, Mo., and stud- ied the classics. Father McKinnon then taught Latin and English at St. Mary's college, Kan., for one semester. He studied philosophy at St. Louis university where he edited the “Modern Schoolman,” quarterly jour- nal of scholastic philosophy. In 1934 knitting or sewing. Plus the artist's touch. Thus, Carol not only knits all manner of sweaters and suits but also designs many of these fashion- ables herself. Last year, when angora sweaters, mitts and scarfs were “musts” in fashion, Carol just took time off and knitted her own. And this year, since the decree is white angora jackets for evening wear, Carol plans to re- peat the same process. he returned to Marquette for a year of special studies in economics, re- ceiving a Master's degree in June, 1936. Meanwhile he taught Latin, Greek and English for one year at Rockhurst college, Kansas City, Mo. In 1936 he entered the school of Divinity of St. Louis university at St. Mary's college, Kan., where he is located at the present time. Took Journalism Here Father Williams holds the distinc- tion of being the first student from the Marquette University College of Journalism to enter the Society of Jesus. After completing his novitiate at St. Stanislaus' seminary, Florissant, Mo., Father Williams attended Xavier university, Cincinnati, and St. Louis university where he received A.B. and A.M. degrees. In 1933 he was appointed to a teaching fellowship in English at St. Louis university. Before beginning his course in theology at St. Mary's college, he was an instructor in English and Latin at the Creighton university preparatory school in Omaha. Father Williams will spend two more years completing the course of studies in the Jesuit order. MOSSEY-OTTO COMPANY Complete line of World's Standard S. S.
