Senior Sees Pius X Canonization Salve Regina possesses a first class relic o f Saint Pius X through the generosity of M ary Mcintire, class of '55 who was a member of the Cardinal Spellman Marian Year pilgrimage to the shrines of Europe. This precious gift rests on Our Lady's altar, a fit resting place indeed for the saintly Pius. As the high light of her tour, Mary attended the canonization at Saint Peter's on May 31. The request for canonization was presented three times. At the end of the third request, Pius XII intoned the Veni Creator. This ancient hymn was taken up by the mulitude in a tremendous swell of song. Our
1-!oly Father read the decree of canonization and set the date of the new feast August 20. The trumpets rang out, the church bells throughout Rome chimed in thrilling tribute to the beloved Pope of rhe Eucharist. His portrait was unveiled amid the spontaneous applause and the glorious Notes of the T e Dettm. Pius XII hailed his predecessor as "the glory of the priesthood and the beauty of Christian people". To have had one of our college students present on such an occasion makes us at Salve Regina very proud and very privileged.

He was a Dominican novice in England for a short time, but he left and travelled to the United States in 1920. By a quirk of fate, he became a college professor before he received his degrees. While a professor at Fordham, he obta ined his B.A. and completed work for his M .A. and Ph.D. ar Georgetown. Although he did nor intend a writing career, he found himself composing articles and poems mostly for G. K. Chesterton's N ew Witness, and rhus became a promising author. Among his more famous works are: T oo Small ct lt/or/d, St ory of Am erican Catholicism, The Book of Modem Ce~tholic Prose, and Tbe Book of Modem Catholic
Verse.
