ALUMNI OF LOST COLLEGES SOUGHT
Former students of lost Episcopal colleges are being sought by Elizabeth B. Schadt, volunteer alumni chairman. Miss Schadt, who as an undergraduate was "caught" in the closing of both Canterbury College, Indiana and Keble College, Mississippi, wants to organize the alumni of the half dozen Episcopal-affiliated institutions of higher learning which are no longer in existence.
When identified, the alumni -- men and women -- of the "lost colleges" will be asked to do two things: 1) furnish information about their services to civic and religious causes and, 2) arrange programs on behalf of the eight remaining Episcopal colleges with church groups and vestries. Color slides and scripts will be available as aids.
The now-closed colleges include Racine College in Wisconsin, Daniel Baker in Texas, St. Paul's, Long Island, and Jubilee College, Ohio, beside Keble and Canterbury. In addition to those which had closed, the Episcopal Church also formerly had connections with, or actually founded, William and Mary in Virginia, King's College now Columbia University in New York, Rutgers University in New Jersey, Lehigh in Pennsylvania, and St. John's, Annapolis.

GARFIELD NAMED
The Church of St. Mary the Virgin, New York City, has named the Rev. Donald Garfield, rector of St. Peter's Church, Springfield, Mass., its new rector. The parish has been without a rector since the death April 8 of the Rev. Grieg Taber.
Father Garfield will be instituted by the Bishop of New York as rector of St. Mary the Virgin on the evening of February 1, and will celebrate his first Mass as rector Candlemas Day (February 2).
