 Reilly Lecture
Splendid Discourse Anticipated at Sunday Afternoon
 Program

Those interested fin the forth coming lecture by pr Joseph J.. Reilly on Newman and the Gem tenary of the oxford Movement" I" at Waterbury Catholic high school auditorium Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock find 1t difficult to properly apportion their enthusiasm be- tween lecturer and lecture. New man is always an absorbing Bub- Ject; tho review of the Oxford movement, the reverberations of which still affect present day An glican and Roman Catholic circles in England, Is especially timely. The distinguished guest of the Notrc Dame Alumnac is admirably prepared both by study and back ground for the favor he Is to con- fer upon Watcrburians. A con- temporary account of Dr Reilly from m authoritative sourco may be appropriate:
 Attractive in appearance, mag netic in personality. sound in schol- arship, this professor of Victorian poetry and 18th century prose puts SO much of himself into his lcc- lures that students rc-rcading notes OI Illh 'Oul pFp g'tip hhAPa b'"'h" ton still see the mischicvous smile on his young face and the twinkle in his young blue eye, youthful features emphasizing his thick wavy white hair.
 "But it is not only himself that Dr Reilly inJcct9 into his lectures he brings to his students tho spirit of tho ago In which the 18th century writers lived and tho moods and characters of the writers themselves. When his classes study Tcnnyson they feel ns Tcnnyson felt and zee as Tenny- son saw. They cast aside all fa- vorite authors, content to remain forever with Tennyson--untll Dr Reilly dcvotca tho next lecture to Rugkin."
 In connection with tho subject of the lecture it iB of no small mo- mcnt to remember that Dr Reilly ia Il graduate of Holy Croa.

stItutions. Specialization, growth in numbers of students. the cuf -s rent procedure of the day scholar" outside social interests--all theso factors have contributed to the breakdown of that special featuro of university life which Newman considered Indispensable to true cducation--the constant--more or less uninterrupted intercourgo bee tween student and student--stti- dent and teachers. The practice at. Holy Cross, however, Is at once in conformity with the Cardinals ideas and opposed to modern, trend. The school at Worcester i0 frequently referred to as the "col1 lcge scminary"--in q term which reflects tho stringency of tho rules which throws the students togetheE while 1t separates them from the world.
 pr Reilly, then, is well prepared by his background of college life for tho understanding of Newman'a attitude. Throughout his life the great oratorian spoke in oxford acc cents. saw through oxford eyes. An experimental knowledge gained at Holy Cross of what oxford waa like, gave to Dr Reilly's studiea from the first, an intimate cofYis prchenyion of tho traditions and associations of his subject.
 Add to this splendid oricptation, pr Rcilly's wide, systematic and enthusiastic labors in his field, his broad acquaintances with general literature, his unbrokcn associas ton with various schools during " 15 year perlod---and we begin to understand why the lecturer aS well ns the subject is a strong elc- mcnt in causing the lovers of litor., nture in Waterbury to look for-. ward eagerly to next Sunday alters nnnn
