craft carrier Franklin, who was a
graduate student at Georgetown.
Citing other gifts received from for
mer university students now in serv-

G. German, S. j., president of the
university, commented:
The letters and words of encour-
agement from these boys have been
an inspiration to us in our under
taking. Much time and effort have
been invested in our program for a
new hospital and medical center and
I'm sure that Georgetown's many
friends will see to it that the plan
is carried through to successful
completion.
So far, s40o,170 of the campaign

Michel Clemenceau in September,
1912, went to Vichy to tell Petain
the disgust he felt for his collab-

Petain, obviously embarrassed,
told Clemenceau that in discussing
with Weygand the difficulties of the
military situation, he had told him,

That was the way Petain, mem
