Glasgow Catholic Institute Opened.
The formal opening of the Glasgow
Catholic Institute took place on Mon
day, September %, the opening cere-
mony being performed by his Grace
the Archbishop of Chersona. The
large reading room of the Institute, in
which the proceedings were held, was
crowded. The guiding thought of
those who had founded the Institute
had been that if once goodly number
of the Catholics of the West of Scot
land could be got to meet together in
social relations, the habit of working
together would follow. There was
need of centre not only for the city,
but for the whole Archdiocese. They
knew that the Catholics of the Arch
diocese numbered about 100000 and
needed only thorough organization to
become a power for good in many
ways heretofore neglected.
