cated at 9:80 o'clock this morning byf

Thie chapel is located on the corner of
W~illiaii s' and 'Thompson streets is the
first exclusively for students to be
built at the Urniversity.
The chapel is the culmination of
years of planning. Just ten years
ago Rev. Michael P. Bourke, K.M.,
LL.B., began the work which is nowv
shown in the" compiletedl building. The
right reverend Bishop of Detroit in-
structed Father Bourke to select a site
for an exclusively student chapel:

of a survey made 'by The National'
Catholic Welfare council which show'
ed that in 1922 there were 40,000
Catholic students in non-secular uni- ~
versities against only 19,000 in Catho-
lie universities. The Catholic en-
rollm'ent here usually runs at about
ten percent of the total enrollment, toriu n of St.
this year running in excess of 750. which was kir
