PLAN ENLARGED
CATHOLIC l.

Plans are under way to make
Catholic University the acme Of
academic perfection, not only for
ecclesiastics, but for the laity as
well.
The movement to gather funds
began with receipt of a letter from
Pope Plus to the American episco.
pate in which he praised the bishops
for the education of American Cath.
oiic youths and improvements at
Catholic University. He suggested
that a day be set aside each year
when the clergy would urge fl
nancial and moral support In building
up the institution.
No date has been set for Uni.
.versity Day." Archbishop Michael
J. Curley said last night, but "elab-
crate plans already have been made
to acquaint American Catholics with
the needs of the university
He estimated the expenses of the
university soon would be 81 ,0O0, 900
year, and indicated that properly
to carry on its work the institution
could easily use another million"

orally BY the joint committee.
L think 1t would be q good idea
to bring 10000 troops here and let
them parade, with two or three Of
the service bands in the line of

sive and 1t seems to me that 1t
would be in keeping with the idea
the people have of the office Of

The joint committee has already
recommended the appropriation Of
