LOST VOLUMES
ARE FOUND

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Sept. 4
Included in one of the most i'm
portant antiquarian discoveries at
Harvard in recent years, the col
lege Librarians believed they may
have recovered three lost volumes
from John Harvard's original IL
brary, given to the college in 1888
and supposedly destroyed by the
college fire in 1854.
The find came last week
through identifying 81 volumes in
the Harvard Divinity School
library as books from the first
special library given to the college
donated by Thomas Hollis, of Lon
don, about 1725. 1t had been
thought that the Hollis books were
destroyed by the fire in 1854 along
with the original John Harvard
gift.
Up to now, authorities believed
that only one volume out of 400
bequeathed to Harvard three cen.
lures ago by the colleges first
benefactor and nameSake, escaped
the fire. This was a religious
tract, Christian Warfare Against
the Devil, World and FLESH" by
John Downame, of London, which
was on loan from the library at
the time Of the fire.
The volumes have been placed
on view at the Harvard library as
part of the tercentenary exhibit of
rare books and manuscripts.

Behind his every rec mark was the thought that man must eventually turn to the church for his eternal salvation. Develop ing beautiful theme in which . trinity Of alma matters was pre- dominant the speaker showed how man progresses from his first cate- chism to his college and finally the church.
 Dr. M. J. Lawlor, president of the club, proved Q fine tonStmaster and presented the several speakerH heard in excellent and spirited fashion. At the conclusion of the banquet hc was unanimously reelected presi- dent together with the remaining officers, Cornelius r. Maloney, vice. president, and Attorney Maurice P, Wrenn, secretary-treaSurer.
 Edward Brown, '23, Q member of the high school faculty at Hamden, regalcd the audience of close to one hundred alumni and their friends with Q host of humorous stories. MT. Brown in his own right Is a raconteur of the first water, as he successfully proved last night. He touched briefly at the conclusion of his remarks on the philosophy of modern educational systems and the task the Catholic faces in combating those without sound foundations.
 Catholic Activity
 James William FltzPatrick, '00, spent several moments discussing the difference between Catholic Ac- ton and Catholic Activity. The former he regarded as outplayed and overdone, but the latter he termed the real need of the day. More activity by the masses with the ad- vice and the leadership of the clergy was the paramount issue and the only possible way that We may keep away from paths leading towards Communism.
 Peter J. Noonan, assistant man. ager of tho Hotel Commodore and an old-time baseball star at Holy Cross in the days of Andy Coakley spoke very briefly thanking the club for inviting him to be present.

to enforce the state rules in regard to opening and closing hours through detective work of their own.
 Investigation this week by bar- bers themselves led to the suspen- sion of one barber shop employe, after complaints had been made against him by members of the Wa terbury Master Barbers Association. The state board of barber examiH1- CTS imposed Q four-day suspension on the barber in question, John Protzhy, employed in Q shop at 2e2 Cherry street. The complaints that Protzhy violated the opening and closing hour regulations are report cd to have been made by Frank Pendal and Joseph Briglia, both af- flliated with the master barbers' or. ganization.
 Barbers SIeuths
 With the barbers themselves en- gagged in detective work to bring to light violators of the opening and closing regulations md other rules, additional complaints are expected to be made to the state commission. Some barbers charge that shops in the outlying sections of the city consistently violate teh closing hour rule, which orders shops to close at 2 D. m.
 The price situation in regard to haircuts and slaves is still major problem in Waterbury, the charge being made that despite the rnini- mum price regulations fixed by the state board, certain shops here are continuing to offer "cut rate" slaves and haircuts. Under the regulations barbers must charge at least 20 cents for shave and at least 70 cents for a haircut. Previous to the new regulation, prices for haircuts here varied from 20 cents to 50 cents and more, and slaves ranged from l5 cents to 25 cents or more. Leading barbers protested that the price-cutting war was ruining the business in the city.
 It is now claimed that the price rulings are being violated in some shops, and attempts are being made to secure definite proof against the shops in question. Both Journeymen barbers and master barbers will press the investigation.

Dr. Thomas F. Welch of West Hartford conveyed the greetings oi the Hartford club and expressed his appreciation for the invitation tC attend as well as his congratulations on the fine spirit behind the local scholarship fund.
 Rev. Eugene P. Cryne, pastor of St. Patrick's church and an honor- ary alumnus of Holy Cross, urged all present to get, out and work for the splendid monument that had just been created In the form of the scholarship. He also recalled the days when he, an alumnus of Boston College was the only one in the state who admitted 1t until the Boston College football team de- feated Yale two years in Q row, then a number of alumni came into being.
 Scholarship Fund
 The list of donors to date to tho scholarship fund, which totals close to $2,500 was read at last nights gathering, but will not be madt public for some time due to thu fact that contributions are comtnt in steadily from day to day and i is the committees desire not tt announce 1t until complete. The present goal of the local clul Is to present $5,o00 to the colleg' at graduation time, tho middle o June. The largest single donation last night was $250. There were many $I00 and $50 donations. Atty Wrenn compiled the list of contri' butors last evening.
 Considerable incentive was lent by the reading of telegram iron Archbishop John c. Murray of st Paul, a native of this city and ont of Holy Cross outstanding gradu. ates, in which he pledged con tribution of $l00.
 Charles Bowman Strome, sccre- tary of the general alumni associa- ton, spoke on the needs of the modern-day Catholic college in the form of support by tho alumni. He stressed the fact that in the 03 years of It's existence Holy Cross had received Ave gifts of '$5,000 each, two of which had been made by non-C Catholics, the remaining ones by Catholics not graduates Of the college.
 However, MT. Strome pointed out their benefactions were due to splendid achievements of some Holy CroSs man in Q particular field. Hc praised highly the splendid spirit shown by the local alumni and pre- dicted that this Waterbury schol- arship in memory of stephen w Wilby would be the forerunner of Q series of similar ones.
