10 the Alumnae OF Cathol1c institutions
of Higher Education:
The Alumnae of st. Joseph's College,
Emmitsburg, Md, extends to the alum
nae of all Catholic academies and col
lsges of the United States and Canada,
an invitation to consider seriously an
international federation. In these days
of social and religious unrest Catholic
women must stand together. The sepa-.
rate alumnae of our schools can do very
little to make an impression on the
country at large. A well organized af-
filiation of alumnae would be a power
to uphold the dignity and standard of
our institutions for the higher educa-
ton OF women. His Eminence, Cardi-
nal Gibbons, has expressed his cordial
approval and best wishes for this pro-
ject.
Will you discuss at your next meeting
the following points:
IAN official title. Suggested: (a)
International Affiliation of Catholic
Alumnae, (b) International Federation
of Catholic Alumnae (c) Association of
Federated Catholic Alumnae.
"A meeting to be held in New York
or Chicago the Saturday following
Thanksgiving for the purpose of organ
izing.
3-The appointment Of special re-
preventative qualified and willing to
cooperate actively in the plan of or
ganizing.
Membership in the Federated
Alumnae only upon recomm endation of
applicants alumnae
5-The sending of an. unmounted
photograph, to be placed in an exhibit
album to be sent to the Panama Pacific
International Exposition, as an illustra-
ton of the substantial support given
by Catholics to the higher education OF
women.
6-The alumnaes of schools rated as
academies (high schools) or colleges are
eligible.
Each alumnae association to contri.
butte one dollar to cover the initial cost
of organizing, postage, printing, photo

til August.

Things are going wonderfully well
for Germany; the big French armies
are being beaten at every point and are
in full retreat already; the English have
again been licked easily and are being
