This recognition worked for and sought for by p r evious administra­tions has at las t been realized to the joy of every one interes t ed in the progress of Viator. When Dr. Car­dinal took office last June he ad­vanced the work of his predecessors by making r tcognition by the Uni­versity of illinois one of his prin ­cipal objectives. For that purpose a committee was appointed to handle the details. This consisted of the Very Rev. E . V. Cardinal, Dr. R. J . French, C . S. V ., vice-president, the Rev. L. T . Phillips, C. S. V., dean, and the R ev. J . W . Stafford, C . S. V. The Council of Administra tion, fac ­ulty, alumni and student body have likewise done much to assist in the attainment of this valued recognition.

"No Fear of Science" The Catholic Church Welcomes

truth wherever it may be fou nd, in history, in Biblical research, in psychologoy, in natural science, in social science, in every field of hu­man inquiry. As the custodean of the religious truths r evealed by Christ, she knows that all verities will harmonize, because they all pro­ceed from the same ultimate foun­tian of truth, God himself. "Re­ligion," declared Popt Pius X, "has no fear of science. Christianity does not tremble before discussion, but before ignorance". Pope Leo XITI emphasized the wisdom of "welcom-ing every wise thought and every useful discovery, whatever its origin may have been". No one has stated better the proper attitude of the true historian than tbis same schol­arly Pontiff: "It is the firs> law of history that it dare say nothing which is false, nor fear to utter any­thing that is true, In order that there be no sus,picion either of par­tiality or of hostility in the w r iter''.

Not only did His Holiness enunci­ate this principle, but he translated it into action. A young layman, L udwig von Pastor ,• applied to the P ope for permission to use the Secret Archives of the Vatican. This priv­ilege has been accorded only to Churchmen and but to a few of them. TO the surprise of all, the venerable Pontiff granted the per­mission to the young man. H e was free to delve into the secret let­ters and private documents which had been buried in the archives for centuries. Proceeding to the li­brary, the young scholar found his pathway b locked by the Custodian of the Archives who could not be­lieve that he had really obtained sucp. an extraordinary permission. A second time he asked the Pontiff for permission and a second time it was granted, only to have the Custodian still bar him from the storehouse of antiquity. -when he appealed to the Pope a third time, Leo Xlli took the young man by the arm and going with him to the a r chives, he addressed to the aston­ished Custodian these m emorable words: "O,pen up the truth! Let it be published to the whole world . There is nothing to fear from the truth". Today scholars of every faith come from all parts of the world to do r esearch work in this great treasure-trove of history.

"You Oun't Do T hu.t."

There co mes to mind the incident related In the life of St. Augustine. One day the Saint was walking a­long the shore of U1e sea, trying to comprehend in their entirety s uch mysteries as the Trinity and the e ternity of God. He noticed a little child digging a few holes in the sand. H e stopped to observe him. Alter filling a little bucket with water from the sea, the child then poured it into the holes. "What are you trying to do, my child ?" inquired the Saint. ''Wby I'm trying to empty the ocean into these holes" , replied the chud. "You can't do tbat", said the Saint, "for the ocean is far too big to be put Into such little holes. "Neither can you with a finite mind comprehended the in­

fini te", r eplied the child who was then r evealed as an angel sent by God to teach St. Augustine this fundamental truth, which lies at the heart of al l relig ion and all science.

Whether the incident be legendary or not, the lesson it t eaches is auth­entic and a ll-im,portant. It is the lesson taught by the Book of Pro­verbs -when the inspired writer pro­claims : "The fear of God is the be­ginning of wisdam". Fear of God in the sense of a reverential awe in the presence of the mighty works of the infinite God is indeed the be­ginning of wisdom" . Fear of God standing. Humili ty in the presence of a universe of fathomless mystery, giving to us ever and anon glim­merings of a Supreme Intelligence, is the unfailing mark of the true scholar. He is grateful indeed that the universe is replete with marvels and mysteries which transced the capacity of his puny mind to un­derstand. How tame and dull and circumscribed would the world be if it were dependen t upon his tiny brain to conceive and his feeble arms to fabricate. The universe fills him with ceaseless awe and wonderment because it carries to him the evi­dence of an infinite Mind binding the discrete phenomena of nature into the unity of law, and merging their dissonance into a symphony of divine melody- the music of the celestial . spheres.

Even wi th the hospitable reception of all the findings of science and the unearthing of the buried past. human life on th~s planet r emains set in a sea of limitless mystery Judging from the past, we have every r eason to believe that the discoveries in the fu ture will but increase tbis sense of mystery en­veloping us on every s ide. Facing stupendour problems which baffle his powers of~olving, the true schol­ar displays the humility of one who r ealizes that a finite mind is seek­ing to grapple with the infinite, that the mind of the Creator trans­cends the mind of the creature. H e recalls the words of the g reat Apos­tle St. Paul which display s uch penetrating insight into the unfath­omable depths of Divine Omniscience "0 the depth of the r iches of the wisdom and of the knowldege of God! How incomprehensible are His judgments, and bow unsearchable His ways! For who hath known the

It was this spirit of r everence and humility which was manifeSted by the great scientist, Sir Issac New­ton, as he lay u,pon his deathbed. "What a comfort it must be" ob­served a friend of his, "to be' a ble to look back over a life of such epochal achievements. In discovering the law of gravitation, you have laid the foundations for both physics and astronomy. You have pushed back the boundary line of the un­known and have brought new worlds under the reign of law. You have every season t o be proud". "On the contrary," replied Newton. "1 must confess to a t:eeling of profound hu­mility in the presence of a universe which transcends us at almost every point. I feel like a chihl who while playing by the seashore has found a few bright-colored sheels and a few pebbles whi le the whole vast ocean of truth stretches out un­touched and unexplored before my eager fingers".

' 'Lack of Rever ence Begets . . ." Such an attitude of r everence and

humility before the marvels and the mysteries of nature has been the

Similar to the r eaction of the young student mentioned above, was that of a young non-Ca tholic lady, a graduate of a large university and a teacher in a college for g irls in the South. "I have just f inished Mencken's Treatise on the Gods" she said, "and I consider it a de~ vasting attack on oll religion. It undermines faith in all of them".

"How?" I inquired. "It shows that the religious prac­

"Your conclusion", I observed, ·•a­mazes me. If that line of reasoning be valid, then you would have to consign every form of modern science art and cul true to the scrap .heap.
