was fitted up last week. and which
was made possible at the banquet

Dame men in and around New York.
The starting Of this movement may
lead to the establishment of a Cath
Ollie college building in New York,
where each school may have rooms
for not only the resident alumni but
also for guests and those interested
in the work of the schools.
Forty-six names have been hand
ed TO Fr Bolger, director Of debat-

dates for the debating teams. 1t is
expected that this number will reach
at least so today and the cOmpeti-
tion for places on the team will
therefore be made very keen.
