ALUMNI EDITION Play By Pirandello Also Scheduled On February 1, 2 Two Conventions Held at DePaul During Holidays During the Christmas holidays two national conventions were held at the De Paul Downtown Building. The guest associations were the American Catholic Philosophical Association and the Catholic Library Association. Over two hundred persons attended each of these meetings.The annual dinner of the Philosophical Association which was held at the Drake Hotel had as its guest speaker the brilliant young professor Adler of the University of Chicago. Professor Adler startled the audience by demanding that the modern university curriculum be reorganized on the basis of medieval quadrivuum. He seemed to indicate that the Catholic University might be the place to begin such a revival. Father Augustine Walsh of the Catholic University of America gave the presidential address. Both of the associations were welcomed to De Paul by the president, Rev. Dr. Francis V. Corcoran. Vol. 14, No. 15 PRESIDENT FATHER CORCORAN De Paul University was signally honored a few weeks ago when our Very Reverend President Francis V. Corcoran, C. M., was selected to deliver the annual New Year's Day address sponsored by the Noon-day Services program over radio station WGN. Dr. Corcoran in stressing the religious aspect of the New Year outlined the Christian interpretation of the traditional greeting, "A Happy New Year", and pointed out that only through God could true happiness be found and economic peace and order be established. Defines Happiness "Happiness," said Dr. tjorcora«, "consists in the presence of all that is good and the absence of all that is evil. Welfare of body and soul, development of personality and of all our personal powers of mind and will and affections, the possessions of health and a suitable measure of worldly possessions all these normally enter into a common conception of what happiness means or of its necessary conditions. Peace and order both within the individual and in society how can happiness exist without them?" Found In God The speaker went on to state that happiness, to be complete, must be infinite and eternal hence it is only in God, in His love and His mercy that we can find the fulfillment of the universal desire for happiness. It is not something to be attained an symbolized by wealth and power, but rather an inner joy and satisfaction that can be fully realized and appreciated only through service a id devotion to the Almighty. Retrospect On New Year's day it is quite natural to look back over the past continued on page 4 The suggestion that too much bridge-playing is responsible for crime in America was advanced by Professor John W. Curran of the downtown faculty at the fourth '34-'35 forum of the Chicago Chapter of the National Alumni Federation, held on Tuesday, January 15, at the University Club. Professor Curran's half-humorously contributed comment to the discussion, "Crime: Is Man Responsible", was featured in local newspapers on January 16. Professor Curran cited the craze for bridge on the part of parents as an agent in breaking down the discipline of the home. Discuss Aspects of Crime Other speakers of the evening were Dr. Raymond M. Gallagher and Father Comerford O'Malley, C. M., De Paul professors, who pre- DEPAUL MEETS N.U. sented the social and ethical aspects, respectively, of crime. The discussion attracted more than sixty persons, of whom a large number were De Paul Alumni. William F. Clarke, Dean of the College of Law, presided as chairman.
