This is the season of the turning, but not t he turned, leaf, the £lag of warning that the brilliant beauty of the fall will soon be upon us, that strong and vigorous season of harvest and hoard against the stripped and frugal winter to corne. "Lay in your stores", the heart warns, "and fill your empty ;barns, for the lean days are coming when you will have need of them."
With what appropriateness do we think at this time of our sisters-for they are aU our sistersreturning to our Alma Mater after the vacation days of summer. There is a storing of food that even the most filled may envy. From t he high seats of experience we may tell them quite honestly that even though the gleaning is sometimes ,a bitter task, the fruit is sweet in the time of need. Our word goes with special affection to the one hundred and ten Fl'eshmen who have chosen with the wisdom of the truly wise to lay up their stores at Emmanuel. They will not be found empty in the empty season.

Christopher Dawson: RELIGION AND THE MODERN STATE
"Ii this book contained nothing but the chapters comparing the Marxian interpretation of history' wth the ·Catholic, it would be essential for the understanding of the principal modern problems. For it is an historian relying on facts of history and not as a theologian quoting the word of God that Dawson shows the aptness of the one interpretation and the ineptness of the other. He is uni.que among Catholic critics of Marx because Marx as a human problem fascinates him .... For our pr~sent discontents, the important thing is that the re~:dy is to be sought primarily' in a change 10f Spll'Jt and only subsequently in a change of sooial mechanism."
