Cardinal Mundelein, Chicago, offi- ciated at the dedication ceremony and 15 other Cardinals took part in the Fontiff’s tour of inspection. Fully 1,000 of the clergy and students at- tended, one of the more prominent being the right Rev William Quinn, New York City, national director of the society for propagation of the faith. The Pope imparted his apostolic blessing upon the gathering, blessed the four parts of the chapel, then recelved members of the faculty and students of the college in the audi- torlum. Afterward. he inspected the living quarters and expressed deep satisfaction at the provisions there. He visited the classroom building also before he returned to the Vatican. He recalled the occasion when he had blessed the cornerstone of the college and said: “We thank divine providence who gave us this oppor- tunity to inaugurate this, magnificent college personally, especially when we think of the influente that it will exert upon the world.” TWO MORE KILLED - INN.
