...Washington's Mayflower Hotel one night last week gathered 1,000 people to salute Bishop James Hugh Ryan, retiring Rector of the Catholic University of America, who was about to depart to the diocese of Omaha to which the Vatican had promoted him (TIME, Aug. 19,).

Averell Harriman, Warren Delano Robbins, Ellery Sedgwick and Percy Haughton, the favorite subject of speculation was "who will succeed the Rector?" Last year the school was 50 years old. Its alumni had grown to include Arthur Train, Sumner Welles, E. Roland Harriman, F. Trubee Davison, Dean Acheson, Junius S. & Henry S. Morgan, Oliver LaFarge. Again the favorite subject of speculation was "who will succeed the Rector...
