Monastery Was Visited By Teacher
The bombing of the monastery of Montecassino, which the Germans had converted into a fortress, was of personal interest to Prof. D. L. Patterson of the History department who visited the monastery while on a trip through Italy before World War I.
Montecassino was the original Benedictine monastery founded in 529 A.D. by St. Benedict, an Italian. The St. Benedict order is the oldest monastic order in the world. This massive stone structure was situated midway between Rome and Naples and stood on Mt. Cassino, 1600 feet above the town of Cassino.
Famous Library of Manuscripts
Professor Patterson made the trip to the monastery because of his interest in its famous library containing thousands of medieval manuscripts. The writings of Roman historians were found in this library. Before the bombing, 12,000 of these manuscripts were removed by the Germans, but it is not known where they were taken or if they have been destroyed.
Professor Patterson remained at the monastery for two days and nights, sleeping and eating in a cell with the monks. It was possible to see 30 or 40 miles in every direction from the mountain, he said, making it an advantageous position for a German observation point.

Betty West Whitney Joins Staff of Wichita Station
Betty West Whitney, journalism graduate in 1942, has joined the staff of Station KANS, Wichita, as a copy and script writer. She formerly worked for Braniff airways in Wichita.
Her husband, Ensign David Whitney, is serving aboard a destroyer in the Pacific. He is a brother of Prof. Marjorie Whitney of the design department, and received the bachelor of arts degree in journalism in 1942.
A suggestion of the ancient monastery is the Abbey of St. Benedict, built in 1929 and overlooking the Missouri river at Atchison. The Abbey is built with many of the features of the historic monasteries of the past, with beautiful Gothic arches, cells, thick walls, and a large library.
In 1866 the Italian National government took over the monastery and made it a national monument. At the time of Professor Patterson's visit, 300 boys were studying in the school which was conducted by the monks.
The monastery of Montecassino was simply built and added to over the centuries. The structure consisted of large, open, paved courts surrounded by buildings. The cathedral was one of the most famous of the buildings.
Simply Built Monastery
Photographs of the monastery and its interior, brought back by Professor Patterson, have been on display at Watson library.
April 1 Is Deadline For High School Journalism Contest
The 24th annual contest for Kansas high school papers conducted by the University's department of journalism has been announced by Prof. Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department. School which publish printed, lithographed or mimeographed newspapers or conduct pages or departments of school news in local downtown newspapers are eligible to enter several or all of the divisions in the contest, Professor Beth said. Entries must be postmarked before April 1.
The eight divisions in the contest are news story, editorial, feature story, human interest story, interview, service to school, business management, and miscellaneous including cartoons, columns, special departments, and so forth.
Three newspapers will be designated as winners in each division of the contest, Prof. Beth said. They will be ranked first, second, and third—unless the equal merit of the work submitted in a certain division makes such rating impossible.
Judges, as in former years, will be members of the faculty of the department of journalism.
