...Peter's in Rome. In full pontificals the Cardinal sat solemnly on a faldstool before the altar. Before him, bowing low in the cope, biretta and white stole of a priest, was Monsignor Francis Joseph Spellman, 43, onetime grocer's boy and sandlot baseball player in Whitman, Mass., named last month by the Holy See to be Auxiliary Bishop of Boston (TIME, Aug. 15). In three great tribunes sat the entire Vatican diplomatic corps and many another official including Boston's Fire Commissioner Edward F. McLaughlin...
Bostonians have hoped that, if these things are so and should Cardinal O'Connell return to Rome, his place will be taken by an able, active young priest who was once of nearby Whitman, Mass.

...continued to lecture far & wide. Far & wide he circulated, like a cultured bacillus, trying to infect the U. S. with some symptoms of a native civilization. He organized literary clubs, the Transcendental Club; with Longfellow, Lowell, Holmes. Agassiz, Dana he joined the Boston Saturday Club. He tried to introduce Whitman to his Boston friends but Lowell demurred?"a New York tough, a frequenter of low places." Finally his energies ran low; his memory began to fail, his raven hair fell out. A trip to Egypt brought him a new crop of snowy hair, but only a short span of life...
