Religion At Harvard Has
Decreased Since the War
Survey by Faculty Member
also Shows Decrease in Pro
portion of Catholics There
(By N. C. W, C. News Service)
Cambridge.—There has been a no
ticeable decrease in religion at Har
vard University since the World
War, Julian L. Coolidge, professor of
mathematics there, concludes after
an investigation into the religious
change which has been going on
over the last decade, Dr. Coolidge
announces his findings in the cur
rent number of the Harvard Alumni
Bulletin in an article entitled “Some
Recent Harvard Religious Statistics.”
Taking the first reports handed in
by four classes to their secretaries,
Professor Coolidge discloses that be
tween 1895 and 1922 the percentage
of students professing the Episco
palian belief hovered betwen 20 and
23 of the total; that the Evangeli
cal aderents decreased steadily from
28 to 19 per cent; that the Unita
rian percentage dwindled constant
ly from 20 to 10; that the Catho
lics increased from 4 to 11 per cent
between 1895 and 1915, but slumped
off to 7 per cent by 1922; that
professors of the Jewish faith in-
crchsed steadily from 2 to 13 per
cent, and that those “not interest
ed” gained from 21 to 27 per cent.
“The steady growth from .1895 to
1915,” Professor Coolidge says, re
ferring to the Catholic statistics, “is
entirely what any one conversant
with conditions in Massachusetts
would expect. The very sharp de
cline since then is harder for the
outsider to explain. The Catholic
colleges are doubtless much stronger
now than formerly. There may be
oilier reasons known only to those
who are familiar with the question
from the inside.”

St. Aloysius Not Effeminate But
Manly Jesuit Asserts in England
Father Martindale Dispels
“Pretty Boy” Conception
of Youthful Jesuit Saint.
(By N. C. W. C. News Service.)
London.—A pen picture of St.
Aloysius which entirely dispels the
“pretty boy” conception of tly.t
saint’s personality, is given by ba
ther C. C. Martindale, the distin
guished Jesuit author, in the cur
rent “Month.”
Writing on the forthcoming cele
bration of the bi-centenary of the
canonization of St. Aloysius, Father
Martindale says:
“So disastrous a misunderstanding
of the saint has become general that
it were almost possible to say of a
boy that he is a Tegular Aloysius,’ in
order to convey that he is a prig and
a Pharisee.
“A priest recently told me that he
regarded ‘St. Aloysius’ (that is, the
whole mass of what concerns him,
as reaches the eye and ear) to be
one of the greatest deterrents from
vocations. Young meif feared they
would be made to imitate one whom
they could not even admire sin
cerely.”
Describing pictures of the saint,
Father Martindale says: “We would
believe Aloysian art to have been in
spired outight by the devil, so di
rectly calculated is it to till the av
erage young Englishman, at any
rate, with loathing.
“The drooping, plaintive figure
that we know never was his. He may
have prostrated himself on altar-
step or floor, hut he had a strong
backbone, and he did not droop. 1
dont believe he was even graceful.

“We shall have plenty to say
about his character later on;
enough now to hint that it was un
compromising to roughness^-and I
doubt if such a character permits
even a religious slouch—Put him
well upright, then.
“Moreover, his hair was black,
not blond, nor even auburn. And it
was quite short, both on forehead
and neck. His chin did not run
away, whether up towards his ears,
nor in towards his neck; it was ah
almost right-angled chin, and prom
inent rhther than the reverse.
“He was not pink and white, but
dark in any case, and I very much
fear must have been of that un
pleasant sallowness peculiar to very
dark persons when they go pale.
“May no convent think to attract
the devotion of its young ladies by a
pretty-boy St. Aloysius; may no
boys’ school or college put definite
obstacles in the way of its students
by asking them to do homage to a
youth they would—dare to say?—
^lavc wanted to kick at sight?’
English Catholic Succeeds
To Bainshorough Earldom
(By N. C. W. C. News Service.)
London — Viscount Campden, a
prominent Catholic, succeeds to the
Gainsborough earldom. The new
countess is the daughter of Edward
Eyre, K.C.S.G, a noted layman who
has large American financial inter
ests. The new earl is the fourth
of the line.
The late Lord Gainsborough’s pa
rents became Catholics a year after
he was born, fifteen years before
the second earl came into the title.
The third earl succeeded in 1881. He
took a great interest in Catholic af
fairs. During the past seven years
he had been an invalid.
With the accession of the new
carl, Catholics in England have a
new and active representative in the
House of Lords. Viscount Campden
was born in 1884 and from 1908 to
1914 was in the diplomatic service,
acting as attache at Christiana,
Stockholm and Washington.
He served in Franceas a major
in the Gloucestershire regim^nt^and
was twice cited.
The new earl is a Private Cham
berlain of the Sword and Cape to
tile Holy Father. He is interested
in sport and music and in 1911 ac
companied Dr Charles Hamss’s
musical festival empire tour.
He married in 1915 and has a sou
and a daughter.
Heroic French Missionary
Loses Sight of One Eye—
Other Eye Threatened \.
V
Louvain.—Falher Hilaire Stockey,
:i Franciscan Congo missionary, re
turned from his missions to Bel
gium, to save the one eye still left
him, after losing the other in the
discharge of the task laid upon him
by his superiors.
In the hospital which is ordered
erected in the colony, four thou
sand patients were treated by him
in 1924. The numerous infected
cases lie had to deal with infected
the priest-physician himself and the
infection resulted in the loss of one
eye and a serious menace to the
other. Father Stockey’s superiors
recalled him to his native land to
have him treated by an oculist and
avert total blindness.
Bishop Approves Prayer
For Mercier Beatification
By. REV. J. VAN DER HEYDEN
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
Louvain-—Those who witnessed the
steady stream of men and women
reverently filing by the body of
Cardinal Mercier as it lay in state
in tlie arcliiep'iscopal palace of Mal-
ines, were dominated by the thought
that those tens of thousands of
people had .The feeling they were
paying liorrtage to a saint, to one
whom the Church would some day
false to her altars.
That feeling is confirmed by the
requests for relics of the lamented
Cardinal-Archbishop which are con
tinually being received by members
of his ecclesiastical household and
his near relatives. It also explains
the.. spreading of the prayer for
liis beatification to which the Bishop
of Bruges has given liis approbation.
This prayer reads;
“O God, Eternal Father of tlic
Word, who never ceascst to glorify
Thy Name by glorifying the Preist-
hood and the Passion •of Thy Son—
of Jesus offering Himself to Thee
and offering to Thee His Spouse
and His Mystical Body — glorify
again our Divine Redeemer by giv
ing to the Church the grace to know
all the workings of His sacerdotal
love in the person of Desire Joseph
Mercier, Cardinal Archbishop of
Mechlin, ‘Apostle of Jesus Christ’,
whom we entreat Thee, through the
merits of the Cross, to raise to the
ranks of the Blessed and the Saints.
“And Thou, Mary, Queen and
Mother of all Christians, Mediatrix
of all graces, deign, as at Cana, to
hasten the way of thy Son and to
fill with joy the whole assembly
of the Seneschals of the Lamb.”
New Churches Going Up in
Dublin s ‘Garden Suburbs
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
Dublin—The transfer of popula
tion from the congested sections and
slums of Dublin to the healhy sub
urbs has made necessary the open-
of New Catholic churches. Only a
week ago the Ahchbisliop of Dublin
solemnly opened a Protestant church
now converted to Catholic use. Since
then he has blessed and laid , the
cornerstone of the new churcn of
Marino, Fairvicw. It is the first
church in Ireland to be dedicated to
St. Vincent de Paul. Construction
of the third church will bd begun
shortly, it has been reported.
Marino is a new suburb built on
the sea on the North side of the
estuary of the Liffcy. The Arch
bishop of Dublin commended the
public spirit of the commissioners
who replaced the Dublin corporation,
in providing what amounts to a gar
den suburb for Dublin workingmen.
The population of the suburb is
about 9,000 and there the Christian
Brothers are erecting, free of cost
to the new parish, a school accomo
dating 1,000 hoys. The parish is
bearing the expense of another
school that will accommodate 1,000
girls.
Since the war no less than four
garden suburbs have been built on
the outskirts of Dublin. The first,
a colony for British ex-service men,
is at Killester, a mile and a half
inland from Marino; the second is
Marino; the third is at Crumlin, on
the inland side of the city to the
west. A fourth is being built at
Kimmagc, about two miles from the
foot of the Dublin mountains. All
of them arc built in beautiful coun
try. Those inland command a view
of magnificient mountain landscapes
while Marino is on the seashore. A
feature of these suburbs is that for
the present they are for all practical
puropses prohibition areas. They are
likely to continue such.
Ireland Sending Less Than
Immigration Quota to U. S.
(By N. C. W. C. News Service.)
Dublin—It is understod- that no
reduction in the quota of Irish emi
grants to the United States will he
made for the year beginning July
1. The number of immigrants will
not exceed 26,000, of which is 2,500
short of the quota allowed. The ar
rangements made in certain Ameri
can centers for the reception of
Catholic emigrants, have facilitated
the seltlementof many young Irish
men and women in the United States.
While great efforts are being made
to increase industrial employment
in Ireland, it will take time before
the average of 25,000 to 30,000 po
tential emigrants can be absorbed
in productive employment at home.
Meanwhile, Irish Catholic emigrants
are anxious to join their kinsmen in
the United States before any pos
sible reduction is made in the quota.
The number of Irish priests in
tile United States and of families
with relations in Ireland makes
leaving tile old country for America
seem less of a wrench than emigra
tion to any other part of the world.

Medieval Academy of U. S.
Honors Bishop Shahan
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
Boston — The Rt. Rev. Bishop
Thomas J. Shahan, Rector of the
Catholic University of America, was
chosen one of the first 30 Fellows
of the Mediaeval Academy of Am'eri-
ea, and the Rev. Dr. James Hugh
Ryan, also of the Catholic Universi
ty, was elected one of the 12 mem
bers of the Academy’s Council, at
its first-annual meeting which has
just closed at the American Acade
my of Arts and Sciences here.
The Mediaeval Acamedy of Ameri
ca was established “to conduct, en
courage, promote and support re
search, publication and instruction
in mediaeval records, literature, lan
guages, arts, archoeology, history
pholosophy, science, life and al!
other aspects of mediaeval civiliza
tion.” Prof. Edward Kennard Ilanc
of Harvard University is its presi
dent, and the membership at present
is 500.
The Christian Brothers, or "Broth
ers of the Christian Schools, wen j
founded by the Venerable Abbe de
la Salle. A Bull of approbation in
favor of the Christian Brothers and
raising them into a religious con
gregation was granted by Benedict
XIlT. in 1725.
Hospitals of modern times appar
ently found their model in the in
firmaries with which all monasteries
were provided in the early ages. The
synod of Aix in 816 ordered that
every ecclesiastical foundation,
whether of canons or monks, should
provide accommodations for the
poor, the sick, widows and orphans.
