(Printed by the E. Agresti Printing Co.-1710 Cherry St.)Can You
Read?It has been estimated that fifty years from now few books,apa
rt from technical ones, will be published. This is a rath
erstartling revelation to us students whose purpose in
attendingcollege or university is to find direction in the who,
how, andwha t of reading. It seems all rath er futile if we aren't
goingto have anyth ing to read after we've wasted these
preciousyears in perfecting the art.We might wonder whatsis the
reason for this decline. Apparently, it is the opinion of 'those
who know' that there is nonecessity of our exerting our energies in
reading. This wouldseem almost true in the light of present day
conditions. As ameans of entertainment, reading has descended
almost to thelevel of listening to phonograph records or riding in
the 'onehorse shay' . | I &There is too much to do in this
express train world of oursto waste time, as they say, in tha t
pleasure of pleasuresreading. The radio is, perhaps, the bittere st
competitor for
this time which we might devote to readingas those of uswell
know who sit down with a book and turn th e radio on.It is a battle
of wordsthe spoken versus the writte n. Th espoken word makes the
most noise and bluffs itself intovictory.It is not for us to speak
disparagingly of th e radio. W egladly concede it the victory over
many modern books. But itis gradually replacing the book as our
'fireside companion'and in our pursuit of other pleasures we may
neglect the onewhich could be our greatest consolation when we have
out-grown the oth ers. If the time comes when we really want
toread, we may find that we have forgotten how. iTh e subs titutes
which th e world will offer to the art ofreading will be, from all
appearances, the science of reading.Books will be read over the air
waves, leaving us with ourhand s folded and our minds free to wand
er for who of usdare say that sustained concentration without
physical exertion is one of our accomplishments? Then, too, in our
maddesire to do at least two thin gs at once, we shall go
merrilyabout our tasks while the story teller rambles on and if,
whilewe hangjbreathless over the radio waiting for the dashinghero
to rescue the beautiful heroine from the clutches of thetreacherous
villain, the steak burnswell, it was a good storyeven if we don't
know how it ended. |Probably the radio will be superseded by
transcribe d records which, like the dictaphone, can be regulated
so that whenthe doorbell rings and we lose the thread of the story
we canturn back to the line where we were interrupted,provided,
ofcourse, that we can find the place. |Then, finally, wet shall
come to tha t tim e when it isfnolonger necessary to be able to
read. This land of ou rs will bea veritable paradise with not even
the alphabet to learn. Then,too, shall we of the old school be able
to demand enormoussalarieswhen readers a re a t a premium. With
what surpr isewill our illiterate friends say, "Can you read?"M.
O'Sullivan, '38: -o - :Spring Fever
Springwithout a doubt the most welcome of all seasonsis here
again. Spring, we have often heard, is the time whenthe studen t's
fancy lightly tur ns to day-dream ing. And little,it seems, can be
done about it. Lightly sounding sighs ripplethrou gh th e classes;
blank, starr y eyes | mechanically followthose of the teache rs;
ramb ling recitations, loitering, hesitan t, far from the ir goal,
trouble the classroom quiet. Again,spring winds and quickly
changing skies remind us that vacation will soon be her e. How
welcome it will be ! M ost of us,however, anticipate those days
much too soon, not merely because they promise relaxation from the
routine of school life,but, especially, because of the deep joys
and cheering holidayfestivities which accompany them . Th e result
is tha t, afterthe Spring holidays, we spend the month of May
franticallytrying to gain the knowledge that slipped by us before
our vacation. Th at is to say, we cram ; and crammin g has a way
ofoften confusing us. Exam days, consequently, find us f hopelessly
entangled in a j umble of rules; exam days find us fumbling in vain
for an answer, lucid, exact, to the point. Wisestude nts, then ,
will today build a stron g resistance againstthis temp ting Spring
weathe r. Th at is the par t of wisdomwhich works to the students '
profit in May. f | ^ |Dorothy Agres t i , '40

March, 1938 T H E MERCIAD Page ThreThan k God For The
Depression!Thank God for the Depression!The present depression is
perhapsthe only one experienced by ourgenerat ion. I t i s perhaps
the f i rs tt ime that we have witnessed dai lyt ragedy. We wonder
a t the worried expressions of our c lassmates. Without verbal
explanations, we know that those terrifiedglances are caused by
unemployment in the family. In the col legesof this nat ion, each
day bringsmore |abs ente es; each day seesmore students dropping
out ofschool for lack of funds. Ournewspapers are f i l led wi th
storiesof suicides, of steadily increa singwelfare rolls, of
steadily swellingranks of unemployed.
; Yet, thank God for this depression! N ewspapers publ ished
priorto this condition told tales of theruin toward which the youth
ofthe nat ion was headed. Pros perous, se l f-made men were
workingtheir sons' way through college.A college degree could be
obtainedsimply by a student ' s making hisappearance in a c
lassroom for atota l number of days. This a t tendance, plus a f
inancia l out lay, wasthe prime requisi te of a degree .Then there
was tha t e lement ofspeed decried by our publ icat ions:speed in g
et t ing married; morespeed in getting divorced; speed inmaking fr
iends, more speed indropping them; speed in going noplace, more
speed in get t in g there .Youth was was t ing i ts t ime
andenergy. Jobs w ere plent i ful .Mone y wa s a b u n d a n t . A
j ob ,enough money on which to exist ,with plenty left over on
which tohave a good t ime, were a l l tha tmany asked of l i fe ;
and that was
al l that many gave to \ life. Suchwas the condition, as
revealed byour periodicals/ prior to the dep re ss i on . !Now,
side by side with the reports of unemployment, of breadl ines, and
of increasing welfarerolls, are the stories ] of J youngpeople who
are determined to meetthe4chal lenge. We read of students actual ly
working their way
throug h school. Night schools become la demanded necessity,
andthe correspondence schools prog re ss .And people are going back
toGod. Faced with the impossibilities of the economic situation,
the"all-powerful" scientists of the universe ^ cannot produce
prosperi ty.Cosmopol i tan brains 'become ex hausted t rying to
wend their wayout of industrial and social chaos.The masses real
ized the hopelessness long before the intelligentiaand our masses
are turning backto God. Our religious periodicalsbegin to swell
with letters tellingof answered prayers. Reports offinding jobs in
a jobless world, orr e g a i n e d h e a lt h, w i th o ut t h

thephilosophy of Thomas. Since thisconstituted a definite break
withthe Scholasticism of the day,Thomas met wi th a great deal
ofopposition, even within his ownOrder. The F rench universi t

he wasan I ta l ian and a Friar . Nevertheless, "out of this

He devoted his efforts to proving that there was no

He had the authent ic texts of Aristot le t r ansla ted into Lat
