...under which the United States, after years of back-turning, extended diplomatic recognition to the Communist regime, stipulated that U.S. clergymen be permitted to live in Moscow to minister to the spiritual needs of Americans there. Four priests served in this treaty-made capacity, all of them Assumptionist fathers, a missionary group with a special concern for the churches of the East. In 1955, when the U.S. State Department refused to extend the 60-day visa of the Moscow Patriarchate's Archbishop Boris to permit him to serve as Exarch for North and South America, the Communists retaliated...
...with a sharply worded rejection of a Soviet proposal that would give Archbishop Boris of the Russian Orthodox Church permission to live permanently in the U.S. as administrative head of Russian Orthodoxy in North and South America. In return, the Russians had offered to permit Father Louis F. Dion, Assumptionist priest of Worcester, Mass., to replace Father Georges Bissonnette, expelled last March (TIME, March 14), who ministered to the American Roman Catholics in Moscow.

Less than 24 hours after his visa was issued, the U.S. granted a visa to Archbishop Boris of the Russian Orthodox Church, who was forced to leave the U.S. earlier this year when his temporary visa expired...
Young Father Bissonnette had looked forward to a routine departure this spring, when another Assumptionist priest was to replace him. The sudden expulsion was obviously an act of retaliation for U.S. refusal to extend the visitor's visa of Metropolitan Boris, Exarch of the Russian Orthodox Church of North America, who left Manhattan last week after his prescribed stay of 60 days...
...English of Shakespeare. For those who wish there is law, medicine. Although not stressed, science and modern languages are not ignored. Many Assumption graduates go to Harvard Law School or to Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia. Although Assumption is a classical college, its regular instructors are all Catholic priests and Assumptionist Fathers. The college and its affiliated high school are the next educational step after Worcester's parochial schools. Its greatest singularity is its rule that no student may come to Assumption unless he speaks fluently both French and English. Classes are conducted either in French or English. Thus Assumption...
