...monks before Bobola's relics were taken to Polotsk. In Bolshevik hands they ended up in a medical museum in Moscow-although Roman Catholics were not then aware of their whereabouts. In 1922, within a month after he became Pope, Pius XI ordered a U. S. Jesuit, director general of his Papal Relief Mission in Russia, to "seek and find" the body of Andre Bobola. That Jesuit was Rev. Edmund Aloysius Walsh, today the stocky, white-haired vice president of Georgetown University, founder and regent of its excellent School of Foreign Service...

As General Manager he was succeeded by Edward Johnson, a trim, smiling man of progressive ideas who promised a new era in operatic production.
