Unsettled by Pope John XXIII's recent encyclical Mater et Magistra, William F. Buckley Jr.'s National Review turned a cold eye on the problems of God and man at the Vatican. After dismissing the encyclical as ''a venture in triviality" in one issue, the magazine returned to the attack with the revelation that "conservative Catholic circles"-of which Editor Buckley, 35, is the razor-tongued wunder-kind-were muttering "Mater si, Magistra no." At that, the Jesuit weekly America jumped into the fray, proclaiming that the National Review "owes its Catholic readers and journalistic allies...

Last week, to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Rerum Novarum, Pope John XXIII issued his own social encyclical, a message firmly oriented toward the new problems of the mid-20th century.

It is also more polished; John and his advisers have been tinkering with it for many months, and its publication was reportedly delayed several times for last-minute changes...

Columbia's John Vaio, 21, delivered the first Class Day valedictory in Latin on Morningside Heights since circa 1900. Thundering like Cicero himself, Vaio declaimed that "ita mater nostra imperitiam iuventutis dispulit atque ignoratiam" (Columbia "has driven away the inexperience of youth"), and once he slipped orotundly into Greek, extolling Columbia's pressure àperńs els áxpov ixéσoa.i ("to reach the summit of excellence"). Slender, pale Classicist Vaio, who finds that world affairs, science and business "do not amuse" him, graduated with a higher average than anyone since 1952, won a summa...
