Scholars Study To Found Monastery Will Devote Lives to Scientific Experiments in Washington. Gather in Ancient Abbey | Beside Highland Lake. i | At an ancient abbey besides the romantic Loch Ness, in the Scotch highlands, seven of America's fore-| most scientlsts have started this | month the rigorous discipline of | Benedictine novices. | After a two-year novitiate they | will return to establish in Washing- | ton the third monastery in the United States of that most venerable of re- | ligious orders, To its cloisters they’ expect to attract the notable Catholic scholars in the new world | Already negotiations have started | for purchase of land in Brookland. The institution will be affiliated, a& are the other Washington monastic houses, with the Catholic University. The object of the order will be to band together a body of men capable of conducting advanced scientific ex- periments who will not be subject to_any external circumstances.

At the time of its establishment, about the time of the fall of the Roman empire, the order devoted it- self to agriculture, ralsing the gen- eral standards of cultivation through- out Europe during the dark ages. It was largely by the work of these brothers that the ancient Latin manu- scripts were copled and preserved through the trouble period from the crash of Rome to the renaissance in Europe after the crusades. Services of Order. The religious life of the order con- sists of services in which every monk takes part at stated times every day, he rules provide for eight hours of teady work in the laboratory or tudy between hours for services. It was this feature which appealed especially. to the scholars now in Seotland in deciding that none of the monastic orders now established in Washington was entirely suited for thelr purpose. It was decided to es- tablish the monastery here because of the excellent Catholic University laboratorles, the Congressional Li- brary, the library of the surgeon general and the opportunities for study at the various hospitals.
