EMMANUEL SPONSORS PARIS FETE Art Museum Displays Vienna Treasures Collegians. Salute Bi-Millennium

With Folklore Festival November 18 On October 31, an enthusias­

tic group of art lovers welcomed the famous collection of Vienna Art Treasures to the Museum of Fine Arts where they will be on exhibition for the next two months. This collection has been in the process of formation from the close of t he Middle Ages to the present day. It in­cludes art treasures formerly in the possession of Emperor F er­dinand, Empress Maria Theresa, and Archduke Leopold Wilhelm. The people of Boston and sur­rounding areas have an oppor­tunity of viewing a group of paintings, sculptures, tapestries, and precious vessels rivalled only by those of t he Louvre, the P rado, and the Vatican.

devoting almost the entire sec­ond floor to the exhibition. Richly decorated suits of armor, a Cel­lini salt cellar, mammoth tapes-

tries depicting the capital sins with a wealth of detail, and paintings by such famous ar­tists as Jan Brueghel, Caracciolo, Correggio, Durer , Hals, and Rem­brandt, are but a few of the treasures which provide a pag­eant depicting the history of art, a pageant which no student or lover of art can afford to miss. Of particular interest to E m­manuel students is Vermeer's painting, "The Artist in His Studio," since it comes from the collection of the Count Czernin, former professor of German at Emmanuel.

The collection was presented in Europe in 1948. Its exhibition in America was made possible t hrough the cooperation of the National Gallery of Art, Wash­ington, D. C., the Art Institute of Chicago, the M. H. DeYoung Museum, San Francisco, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

To the Students of Emmanuel:

Most Catholic college students have a vague notion of NFCCS. We realize that in essence it is the unification of the campus organizations which link the campus co· curricular activities on one campus, with similar or· ganizations of other campuses, with a view toward attaining greater perfection in the accom· plishment of the purposes of these campus organizations. It is the timeless principle of greater efficiency and strength in unity.

Each year the nation-wide honor organization Who's Who in American Universities and Colleges, officially recog­nizes in its publication those students who have been the outstanding in s,cholastic achievement and in extracurricu­lar activities. The honor organization was founded prin­cipally to recognize the "leaders of the future." It is demo­cratic in origin and it exacts no dues from its members. The names and personal records of students accepted are "written up" in Who's Who. These students can take ad­van.t~ge ot. a Student Placement Service which provides pOSItIons after college or recommendations for positions.

Emmanuel College and, in particular, the Class of 1952 is grateful for this opportunity to honor ten members of the Senior Class who have consistently given their "all" for Emmanuel. When the new edition of Who's Who appears on the shelf in Room 17, students will see in print the names:

Dorothea McDonald, who, as president of Student Gov­ernment, works with and for the entire student body. Dottie is a Math major, and was the financial wizard of Student government last year Her every action presupposes her cap­ability and rare faculty for keeping everybody happy.

Patricia Boyle, Senior Class president, who is the un­disputed "Sweet-heart of '52." Pat previously served as class secretary, second semester, Sophomore year, and as presi­dent, first semester, Junior year. It is no secret that Pat loves history, apples, every member of her class and every Emmanuelite.

Marguerite Buchanan, now vice-president of Student Government, was class secretary, Freshman year and secre­tary ~f Student Government last year. A math major, Peggy s name has appeared frequently on the dean's list and III any statistics she is on "the students' list" for cap­ability, leadership, and friendliness.

Ann Delmonico, the vice-president of the Senior Class has not changed in three years. She was Sophomore Clas~ president, first semester, and treasurer, second semester of the same year. The Senior Class will always remember how proud Ann made us feel, when she appeared as our first real . representative, as the chairman of our Fireshman Tea Dance in 1949.

The secret of consolation ar rived at in philosophy is magnanimity. Philosophy enables us to see ourselves in perspective, and the broader the perspective a man has, the more does his little sore-spot, his atomic grievance, dwindle in proportion to the universee. To cry out against a universe that has not accommodated itself to him is absurd-that is from the point of view of the universe. And it is precisely that view that the philosopher takes when he goes out to the intellectual frontier and gets down to the proverbial "brass tacks."

~e"ectithJ - ~e'/,lIctithJ ANCIENT WORDS OF WISDOM:

"Hide the tricks of yo'ur beautifying arts. It is offen­sive to see evidence of powder too thickly applied, or oint­ments spread to excess. Keep in seclusion while in the midst of your beautifying activities for though such actions may serve well it is not pleasing to watch their application."

Ovid

Sidney Kingsley's play, "Dark­ness at Noon," based on the novel by Arthur Koestler, and with Edward G. Robinson in the .leading role, played before full houses during its production in Boston.

Mr. Robinson's portrayal of Rubashov, a Russian intellectual who refused to go all the way with communism, was master­ful. Dramatically potent, Robin· son's performance kept pace with the highly-geared action of the play because of his · deft manipulation of the dynamic dia­logue, and vivid interpretation of the man who was deluded into believing that the end justifies the means.

Allan Rich was a powerful lu­minary in the role of Luigi, a plucky little Italian, who fled Fascism and joined the com­munistic party only to find the same tyranny in a new wrapper. Rich's delivery was commanding as he depicted the plight of a man without a country, fleeing from one place to another only to find himself enmeshed in the

. slavery he initially tried to es­cape.

Effective, too, was Lois Net­tleton as the gentle Luba, a sec­retary in a factory and a party member who refused, however, to believe that man was a mere machine. Because she had sym­pathies other than those prE'­scribed by the party, Luba paid with her life. The poetry of Luba's dialogue showed a depth of beauty that emphasized the shallow, brute force . of her au­versaries.

'I'HE EMMANUEL FO(;US

The mood of the production was most poignantly sensed in the prison scenes, the stark walls of Rubashov's cell suggesting the rigidity of the Russian com­munistic mold. To tne right of his cell were the drab cells of the other prisoners. Effective lighting, under the direction of Mr. Frederick Fox, focused .':it­tention either on the cells or on the visions projected to the left of Rubashov's central cell. The visional settings came into focus as projections of Rubashov's mind. As the first vision un­folded one saw the young, zea­lous advocate of the new, free Russia of the masses. Next, Rul;lashov appeared as an ardent supporter of the Communist party. Engrossed in his work, :t{ubashov did not notice the sham and malcontent around him. It was not until his own interrogation that he realized that he was lost in the clouds of communism and that power, born of force, can only thrive on force. Darkness pervaded the noon of Rubashov's life as it had overshadowed the lives of all whose ideas differed from party ideas. Rubashov dared to differ. The material forfeit was life.

Although propaganda filtels through "Darkness at Noon," it does not hinder the acting or artistry of the play. Rather, it emphasizes the plight of a man, caught in a paradoxical web, a man who believed that glitter was gold, and found the truth too late.

Miss Rohan received her news­paper training at Columbia Uni­versity School Of Journalism which she attended on an Aristos Club scholarship after her grad­uation from Emmanuel. The con­fidence and practical knowledge of journalism she gained there were of immense value in helping her obtain her first job as assist­ant to Miss Rose Walsh, "Society Editor of the Boston Post.

Her warm, gracious personal­ity, determination, and capacity for self-epression were valuable assets as a woman's society ed­itor. Last January when the city editor decided to devote an entire section each day to articles of interest to women, Miss Rohan was chosen women's page editor

because of her experience and proven ability in the field.

As Women's Editor, she is re­sponsible for thirteen columns dedicated to the American woman, her personal life and her house. Editing includes cor­recting, chOOSing type; writing headlines, cutting, or inserting. When the edited articles do not C'ccupy the specified space, Miss Rohan supplements with an ar­ticle under her byline, on fash­ions, perhaps, or a feature on a current show such as the Antique Doll Show recently held at the Copley Plaza. Then, the page is complete.

Since Miss Rohan works from one p. m. to ten p. m. her per­sonal social life is necessarily limited. Yet, her position requires her presence at numerous func­tions during the afternoon hours. Teas, parties, personal appear· ances on radio and television make up an important and enjoy­able part of her day.

Although Miss Rohan appreci· ates the opportunity she was given to attend a graduate school of journalism, yet, she maintains that "no journalism school can tell you what a par­ticular editor expects." This is the reason she stresses actual writing and working and mixing with people in the newspaper world, even as an undergraduate. She definitely thinks it unwise ' to sacrifice a liberal arts educa­tion in order to concentrate on journalism because "a broad background helps in understand­ing situations." Your liberal arts preparation, then, is the best preparation, provided yOU direct your extra curricular activities and your creative talent to that goal of a journalistic career.

When questioned concerning opportunities for women, Miss Rohan expressed the opinion that there will be an increasing de­mand for women in the fields which men now dominate. As newspaper writing has been until recently almost exclusively a "man's job" it will be sometime before the Marguerite Higgins' are the rule and not the excep· tion, but, "there is always room for a person who has talent and the will to work her way up from the ground level."

The children of the farm were given their choice of working or going to school. The enticement of additional rations compelled most of them to choose the school. Eleanor Korzeniowska, like many of the other students, sometimes regretted her choice.

Miss Korzeniowska and her sis­ter, with other Polish orphans, were taken to India where, in De­cember, 1943, they found shelter with the Bernardine Sisters of St. Francis.

In the spring of 1940, a black pall of terror hung over the eastern Polish province of Volhy· nia where Eleanor Korzeniowska lived with her parents and her sister, Ursula. Trapped between the German onslaught from the west and the Russian m enace of the east, Poland had been divided between the two powers, much as present· day Berlin is divided between eastern and western Germany. Volhynja lay in the grasp of Russia.

For those who still retain their childhood delight in pictures, the "World in Color" series has pro­duced Paris in pink wrappings. The Paris We Love has a pic­tureful section on each phase of the romantic city; one for the first-nighter, one for the epi­curean, one for the Parisienne, and many more, ranging from the Cr illon to Pig AIle, written by such prominent fi&"ures as

Sisters, Eleanora Korzeniowska entered Emmanuel College, while her sister Ursula entered the Carney Hospital to train as a nurse. Miss Korzeniowska spent four years at Emmanuel, min­gling with her new friends, studying with them, sharing their laughter, their youth, but carrying with her, memories that they, in their secure Ameri­can homes, could never conceive.

This year Eleanor Korzeniow­ska has returned to Emmanuel to teach Russian in the warm sunlit classrooms, adorned with crucifixes and statues of the saints-to teach the language which she learned on the frozen steppes of Siberia, by a gasclir..e lantern in the dark cold of a filthy clay hut to which God was

The worm recognized a fa­miliar name on the shelves this week. Father John L. Bonn, for­mer professor of Classics at the Heights and driving force of the B. C. Dramatic Society, has writ­ten the biography of Father Ambrose Hyland, Catholic chap­lain at Clinton Prison, the priest who is working modern miracles of rehabilitation single-handed. Father Hyland is the founder of the "Good Thief Foundation" for the improvement of inmates of all penal institutions. By far the most dreaded of all prisons in New York State is Clinton at Dannemore, called the "Siberia of America" for unruly convicts and incorrigibles . Outside of the death sentence, a _ term within its grey walls is considered the severest punishment which can be inflicted by the state's penal system. Although the prison is a model of modern efficiency, a feeling of despair has run the number of insane convicts a.t Dannemora as high as one third of the 3,000 odd convict popula­tion.
