A—10 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1931 C. L. DEVELOPMENT PLANS GOING AHEAD "[Trustees Report Splendid | Progress on $20,000,000 Endowment Fund. “Splendid progress” on Catholic Uni- versity’s program to set up a $20,000,000 endowment fund before 1937 without a _public campaign was reported at the “wemi-annual Fall meeting of the trus- ees held at the university today; pre- liminary to the general gathering of the hierarchy tomorrow and Thursday. Cardinal O'Connell of Boston presided. ‘Two new trustees were appointed, Rt. Rev. T. J. O'Connell of Toledo, Ohio, and William H. Albers of Cincinnati. Two new executive officers of the uni- versity also were named to assist the Tector, Rt. Rev. Mgr. James H. Ryan. Although the university opened its doors more than 40 years ago, the num- ber of executive positions had never been increased. Rt. Rev. David T. O'Dwyer_was ap- pointed procurator and Rev. Dr. Mau- rice S. Sheehy assistant to the rector. The former will have charge of all pub- lic relations, social functions, lectures ther development programs, while hy will have supervision prin- of the publicity incident to the | & collections and other appeals s up the $20,000,000 endow- ment fund. Survey Committee Named. A special committee was named to make a survey and study looking toward the future development of the university. This will include the lay- ing out of the grounds, needs for new buildings in the order of importance, Jocation, etc., and in conjunction with the physical development of the uni- versity the program of the educational departments will be co-ordinated. The large increase of nearly 25 per cent in graduate students brought the trustees face to face with the problem of providing increased facilities for re- search. Among the departments men- tioned for special study are anthropol- ‘politics, geology, ~ zoology, physi- astronomy, library science and s. as _also decided not to reduce salaries of the teaching staff. Several members expressed the opinion the fre.sent pay scale for teachers was too ow to consider any decrease. Rev. Francis A. Walsh, O. §. B, of Bt. Anselm’s Priory was appointed act- ing regent in charge of the newly created Seminary Department. Rev. Adrian Blundell, O. S. B, named spiritual director of the same department. The financial program of the univer- sity was summarized as follows: (1) For an increased annual collection taken up in every Catholic church in the United States based on targets of $600,000; (2) a fund of $1,000,000 by June, 1932, to be raised by private subscription and (3) a fund of $20,000,000 to be raised by 1937, the fiftleth anniversary of the institution. Cardinal Indorses Program. Among those attending the meeting of the trustees today were: Archbishops Beckman of Dubuque, Curley of Balti- more, Daeger of Santa Fe, Glennon of St. Louis, Hanna of San Francisco, Mc- Nicholas of Cincinnati, Shaw of New Orleans, and many prominent bishops and laymen. Cardinal O'Connell said: “I heartily indorse and approve the university de- velopment and financial program as outlined by the special committee of the hierarchy. It deserves universal sup- port inasmuch as it guarantees each year a sum of money sufficient not only to meet the annual budget, but also to reduce considerably the indebtedness of the institution. Such a plan will enable the university to maintain its present high standard of efficiency and to make adequate provision for the future.” Rt. Rev. James E. Cassidy, apostolic administrator of Fall River, said: “I Wwish to commend in the highest terms the plan of the hierarchical commit- tees sponsoring the university develop- ment program. I have no hesitancy in pledging the diocese of Fall River for the full amount of her target, even in the face of the depression.” Archbishop Curley’s Comment. Archbishop Curley of Baltimore said: “Special committees of the hierarchy for some time have been considering, at the suggestion of the Holy Father, plans regarding the development of the Catholic University and for the security of its maintenance. “Were there no mandate of the Holy Father asking us to support the Cath- olic University, we would still feel obliged to do so. However, the duty of supporting the Catholic University becomes more pleasunt, because, as Catholics, we rejoice in the privilege of sharing in the project of the Holy Father, and the support which we give will be returned to the church a hun- Constable Buys Eggs, Finds Cases Filled With White Pebbles By the Assoctated Press.

In a decision to Mr. Lynn, the con- troller general today reviewed the whole | question concerning the kind of marble |to be used in the building, and con- | cluded that the Fuller company bid fulfilled the law.

The protesting second low bidder had 5clfllmeclp that the Fuller Co. had failed to specify the kind of marble which it would use in erection of the building. fled” in his bid instead of giving ™\ name of the marble to be used. “Answering your question specifically, said McCarl, “you are advised that it is the conclusion of this office that the George A.

Such being the conclusion, the bid of the George A. Fuller Co. should be submitted to the Supreme Court Building Commis- sion along with the other bids secured and with the statement that this office sees no legal objection to the acceptance of the proposal of the George A. Fuller Co. as the lowest responsible one re- ceived, provided it meets the specifica- tions in other particulars.” $8,383,000 Bid Accepted. ‘The Fuller Co. bid $8,383,000 for erection of the building. The excava- tion has been completed, steam shovels started the digging last March, so the site is ready for the contractor to move in. Bids for the superstructure were opened October 21, but the award of contract has been delayed owing to the protest of the second low bidder. It is understood that the Fuller Co. is in good standing with the Govern- ment, and now that McCarl has re- moved the objection raised by a com- petitor, it was freely predicted in unof- ficials circles here today that the con- tract would be let and work can pro- ceed. It remains, however, for the Su- preme Court Building Commission to take formal action in the matter. A meeting of the commission will be held in a few days and the McCarl decision will be laid before it by the architect of the Capitol.
