Washington, D. C., —Eiglity-two
consecrated nuns were among the
288 successful students who receiv
ed degrees at the thirty-fourth an
nual commencement exercises of the
Catholic University, held in the Al

The public reception of degrees by
the sisters marked a precedent in
University history. Hitherto they
have received degrees at special ex
ercises held at the Catholic Sisters’
College. Archbishop Curley, who
addressed the graduates after the
presentation of the degrees paid par
ticular attention in his remarks to
the significance of the public pre
sentation of degrees to the sisters,
emphasizing that the public is not
sufficiently aware of the high stand
ards of scholarship attained by
Catholic teaching nuns and declaring
that the work of preparing them for
the classroom and for research fields
was one of the most important being
done by the University,

“to 4,731 women. This number in-
Trinity College during the past twen
ty years. There were 807 women in
cluded among the 1,621 students un
der tuition at the University this
year. We may not describe oursel
ves as a co-educational institution,
but we are contributing substantial
ly to the higher education of both
sexes.”
The graduating class of lay stu
dents, numbering 89, and the num
ber of degrees given this year arc
the largest thus far recorded in the
history of Catholic University. Six
teen doctorates were given in the
schools of Canon Law, Philosophy,
sixteen "printed dissertations were
the work of Catholic sisters, one

PUBLICATION
London, —Under the title of “Col-
umbe” the order of the Knights of
St. Coluinba are shortly to produce
their own magazine, thus adding one
more to the organs of the Catholic
press.
This fraternal order, while not
very well known in the south, has
a large membership throughout the
GlaSsgow Archdiocese, with subordi
nate councils in Liverpool and other
parts of England. The Knights of
St. Columba arc in many ways sim
ilar to their Catholic Brethren of ,the
Knights of Columbus, though the
British society has nothing approaeh-
ign the membership of the Knights
across the Atlantic. The new Cath
olic journal wilt be published
monthly.
