Dr. Peter Guilday, professor of church history at the Catholic | University, who is supervising the transfer of the lfbrary, will write an article dealing’ with the books as soon as he has time to make a-study of some of the' more valuable works. Archbishop Curley has transferred the library to the.Catholic Univeisiry for the purpose of facilitating the work of members of the faculty of the university who are interested in studying and writing on various phases of the history of the church. The professors of the university had to come to Baltimore frequently to| |study the various books. Such travel jing caused much inconvenience and loss of time. His grace decided that as the Catholic University was the great center of higher education in the United States, it was fitting that th library be plaed there. He felt that by such a transfer the library would re main in a particular way the property of the archdiocese of Baltimore. The history of the Catholic heirarchy, from_Carroll to Gibbons, is to be found in the books. The volumes are classed as a literary gold mine.
