In Amarillo they made processions, held solemn ceremonies in the Cathedral, all in honor of a plump prelate whom they presently escorted by train to Santa Fe, there...
...unusual, but not improper, for a Catholic family to give a child any middle name but a saint's. Five generations ago there was a Rev. Samuel Knox, a Scots Presbyterian minister who became president of Baltimore City College. First-born male descendants took his name, even when Jesuit Wilson's Catholic grand mother took her children into her church. Born in Chicago 51 years ago last week, Samuel Knox Wilson studied in the Mid west, taught in Jesuit institutions including Loyola, took a doctorate in history at Cambridge. At college he improved his health playing football...
