Admiral MeIIen

Charles S. Mellen. president of the

garued as a railroad man, and few
people think of hum as the head of

the North American continent, says
the "Courant" Yet his standing In

he chose to claim it. Mr.. Mellen was
never sailor, and he is not navi-
gator, yet under his control are forty
four passenger steamers, forty -tw o
tugs, and a great number of barge
car floats and lighters, owned by the
various companies controlled by the
railroad. In numbers, his fleet Is
riva.ed on this continent only by the
United States Navy.
Some of these steamers are the fin
est on the Atlantic coast. They travel
the waters from Portland, Me-. to
Philadelphia, and touch many ports
between those two points. The steam

Mr.. and Mrs. James Shevlin Donate
Large Sum to Bishop Loughlin,.
Fund.

That a gift of 100000 had been
made by Mr.. and Mrs. James Shevlin,
of Brooklyn, to the Bishop Loughlin
Memorial Fund became known last
week.
The gift is really a donation to ST..
Mary's Hospital, as the committee de-
cided some time ago to devote the
funds gathered for the memorial to
the payment of the mortgage on the
hospital building and grounds. The
committee felt that as Bishop Lough-
lin, the first Bishop of Brooklyn, was
noted for his charities, the most fitting
form of memorial would be to render
assistance to some hospital.
The hospital at present is burdened
with debt of $11S,O0O. Mr.. Shev1in's
gift will be deposited with a trust
company until the remaining $4,000
is collected, and then the debt will be
wiped out. The money was given to

MONKS OF Old
A Non-CathoIic Minister Pays Tribute
to Their Genius.

Rev. DR.. N. M Waters, Congrega-
tional minister, Brooklyn, N. Y, in a
recent discourse on ST. Bernard, paid
this tribute to the monks of the past:
"Out of the monasteries came the
printing press; out of the monasteries
came the universities; out of the mon
asteries came the libraries; out of the
monasteries came the prayer book, the
Litany, the TIE Deum. It was in the
monasteries the foundation of English
literature was laid; it was i'm the mon
asteries that the first New Testament
was written; it was in monastery
that the Bible was first translated into
English.
'sThe monk, under God, was the
great architect OF civilization.
These monks were scholars. These
monks had the time and learning and
the devotion in an age when there
were no books to seek out for all the
sources OF the Bible, and to copy and
illlImine old letters and old manu-
scripts.
Take all the manuscripts from
which our modern Bible is derived,
which have had such a strange story
of preservation; not one of them
would exist today had it not been for
the fidelity and the scholarship of the
monks OF the Middle Ages. They
kept learning alive; they wrote the
only books i'm that time, and some OF
which are still alive. Many of our
hymns came from distant ages. Our
Jerusalem the Golden came from the
pen OF the Abbot OF lCluny. It was
st. Bernard of Clairvaux who wrote

Be EQUEsT HELD VALID.
Court of Appeals Gives $310,212 to Es-
tate of Archbishop corrigan.

The Court of Appeals has sustained
the lower courts in upholding the will
of John Laden, of New York, who
died in 1894, leaving a great part of
his estate, amounting to $310,212, to
the late Archbishop Corrigan.
Mr.. Laden left a trust fund of
$4,000 for the benefit of his daughter
and her children, and made other be
quests to certain persons and charit-
able institutions.
One-half of the residue of the estate
was to go to Archbishop Corrigan after
the death of the other legatees, who
were to have the income during life.
The daughter and a granddaughter
contested the will, alleging that the
gift to Archbishop Corrigan was a Sc
cret trust for the benefit of the Roman
Catholic Orphan Asylum of New York
City, and that one-half of the residue
should not pass under this provision
of the will because they contended that
it violated the statute which prohibits
a person from leaving more than one
half Of his estate to religious institu-
tions IL the decedent has a wife OF
children living. The courts, however,
held that there was no secret trust
and that the will was valid.

SOCIAL STUDY HOUSE
Central Verein will Build on Land Ad-
joining LoyoIa University, Chicago
To Be Center for Catholic Socio-
logical Work

The Central Verein's proposed Social
Study House, the establishment of
which was decided upon at the socie-
tvs recent national convention in Tole-
do, will be erected in Chicago.
The German Central Society, which
counts 125,O00 members scattered
throughout the country, has for the
last five years, endeavored to inter-
est Catholics in general in the social
questions of the day. 1t has labored
quietly but effectively, first to counter
act Socialism and irreligion and then
to accomplish positive and construc-
tive work along Christian lines. It has
not urged the political or economic
side of the questions as much as the
moral and religious phases.
The headquarters of the Central So
ciety are in st. Louis, and its bureau
there issues monthly magazine de-
voted to the cause OF social reform.
Last year over 100000 copies OF this
publication were put in circulation.
The Central Society has come to the
front with settled and definite plan
for the erection of study house ad-
joining L0yola, the Jesuit university
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1912-12-21

on the north shore of Lake Michigan.
The site purchased is on Sheridan
road, Chicago's favorite driveway, and
as the dwellings in the vicinity are of
the stately order, the architects plans
call for building of even superior
quality. The work of construction will
be begun in the early spring, so that
the full advantages of the study house
can be shared by the university stu
dents at the commencement of the
summer term of 1913.
AS is we'll known, Loyola University
is the outgrowth of St. Ignatius' Col
lege, one of the oldest Jesuit institu-
tions in the Middle West, the oldest
and largest Catholic seat of learning
in Illinois and the second largest In
the country. 1t has six departments,
1872 students and 127 professors. In
choosing the new location for Loyola
University the Jesuit Fathers have
looked forward to a century of growth
and expansion. The spacious grounds
will afford room for buildings which
accommodate thousands of students.
The committee representing the
Central Verein after mature de1ibera-
tion chose Chicago for the house of
studies, as that city seems to offer the
best field for sociological work. The
committee made personal investiga-
ton of several locations, and the
members were unanimous in their
vote for the present location on Devon
Avenue, adjoining the Loyola Univer-
sity grounds. The tract of twenty
seven acres has frontage of nearly
thousand feet along Lake Michigan,
the magnificent buildings being with
in two hundred feet of the water.
Father Frederic Siedenburg, professor
of sociology at the Loyola University,
conferred with the committee and in
the name of the Jesuits welcomed the
Central Verein to Chicago and to
Loyo1a. 1T is believed that this school
will become the centre of Catholic
sociological activity in the West.
