There are many famous examples
of the hobbies of learned men win

fields remote from those in which
lie their principal academic pursuits.
Almost every one is familiar with
the case of Charles I. Dodson, Eng

whose classic fable. THE Adventures
of Alice in Wonderland" written
under the name of Lewis Carroll,
has stolen the spotlight from his
notable achievements in the field
of exact science.
Similarly, in Washington's st.

arly pursuits of Stephen A. Hurl-

national distinction as the head of
its Latin department, are being
rivaled by his after-hours pastime

are the product of his little st. AL

recognition among devotees of the
art of printing. Not only does each
book represent the collection of
original material from original
sources, wherever possible, but it

United States.
During his boyhood in Illinois, Mr..
Hurlbut was mildly interested in a
little printing press which was given
to him by his parents for a Christ
mas present, but this was later put
away with childish pastimes. And,
1t was not until about 10 years ago
that he again became practically in

Then, his desire to prepare sets

hand press. This, he set up in lit

quarters at st. Albans School.
Mr.. Hurlbut became so interested
in his hobby that he decided ir
1928 at the approach of the Christ
mas season to print some Christmas
greeting cards upon his press. These
took the form of a Latin calendar
for the months of the ensuing year
with short extracts in prose and
verse from Latin and other au-
thors. To his amazement they
aroused widespread interest, teach

to make an especial study of Latin
hymns. particularly those of the
18th, 18th and 14th centuries.
In his "Hortus Conclusus," or
"A Garden Enclosed" which is also
another successful product of his
st. Adams Press, he has collected
a series of some so of what he
terms "the best and fairest flowers of
Latin hymnody." These he has in
many instances personally trans
cribed from the original manuscripts
in the libraries of Paris, Rome,
Munich and Vienna. It is the
only collection printed in America
in which the Latin hymns alternate
with the English translations. The
range of these hymns runs the
gamut of a thousand years from
the time of st. Ambrose to St.

Red Mass to Be Inouguroted
At Catholic University
Judges, Lawyers, Legislators Invited
To Traditional Rite January

The custom of the "red mass" a
ceremony traditionally for the legal
profession, will be introduced to
Washington Sunday, January 8, at
1920 am, when the Very Rev. Rob-
ert j. White, dean of the Catholic
University Law School,, will act as
celebrant in the National Shrine Of
the Immaculate Conception on the
university campus.
For centuries it has been the Gus
tom in France for judges Of the
courts to participate in the red
mass" at the opening Of the session.
Tradition has it that the custom was
1naugurated by the judges them
selves, who, conscious of their own
limitations, met to invoke divine aid
In their deliberations. January 8
was selected as the date for the
"red mass" because it comedies with

Archbishop to Preach.
Invitations to participate in the
ceremony have been issued to the
United States Senate and members
of Congress, to the justices of the
United States Supreme Court and of
the courts of the District of Colum-
bia, to the administrative heads and
legal counsels of the Government
departments and to the members of
the cabinet and diplomatic corps in
Washington.
The Most Rev. John T. McNicho-
las, Archbishop of Cincinnati, will
deliver the sermon. Besides the
celebrant, Dr. White, the other Of
flcers of the mass will be the Very
Rev. Hubert L. Motry, dean of the
School of Canon Law, deacon; the
Rev. DR.. John K. Ryan, assistant
professor of philosophy, sub-deacon,
and the Rev. William Lallou of the
faculty of sacred theology, master
of ceremonies
The term the "red mass" was
adopted for the traditional ceremony
because the particular petition of
the mass sought the aid of the Holy
Spirit, symbolized by the flaming
fire of divine love and wisdom. The
vestments of the priests were red
and the robes of the attending
justices were scarlet.
Long Custom in England.
Following in the footsteps of
France, the members of the judici-
ary and bar of England adopted the
custom. where for several centuries

mass" took place at the time OF the
opening Of the courts.
New York City saw the introduc-
ton of the custom to the United
States, when the Guild of Catholic
Lawyers in that city met annually
with judges and members of law
faculties for the celebration of the
"red mass" in old st. Andrews
Church, which lay in the shadow of
the towering State and Federal
Court building. Today the observ-
ance of the practice takes place, ac-
cording to Dean White, in New
York. Illinois, New Jersey, Penn

annually in the District of Columbia.
