Last week "Black Pope" Wlodimir Ledochowski, able, rugged Pole, summoned Very Rev. Zacheus J. Maher of San José, Calif, to be his assistant for North America.

Aloysius Henry Rohde, assistant to the Jesuit provincial in Chicago, will be the school's temporary rector until a full one is appointed by that most formidable cleric, the Superior General or "Black Pope," Wlodomir Ledochowski in Rome.

Fordham University. Jesuit colleges select and induct their presidents quietly, without public fanfare. In the refectory of Fordham University (New York), last week, an order from the Very Rev. Vlodimir Ledochowski, S.J., Superior General at Rome, was read at mealtime. Rev. William J.
