Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Illinois Catholic Historical Review, Vol. 2: 1919-1920 With this number we begin the second year of the Illinois Catholic Historical Society and the second volume of its Review. It is fitting that we pause for a moment to survey the past and consider the future. Our undertaking was begun at an inauspicious time when thoughts and activities were centered on the War and when prohibitive prices of paper and printing made publication seem almost foolhardy. Nevertheless there were many reasons that prompted us; there was the centenary of Illinois Statehood and the interest in State history, stimulated by that event, and then there was the almost total absence of the Catholic note in that history. This last perhaps gave the final impetus to the formation of our Society and the publication of our Review. With all modesty we can say that our efforts have been fairly successful, even beyond our expectations, for today we number over six hundred members and we have circulated over twelve hundred copies of each issue of our Review. This success has been primarily due to the financial support of life members and the generous donations of friends, and also to the self-sacrificing contributors who gave their work without compensation. Much still remains to be done for the cause of Catholic history in Illinois. May donors, contributors and subscribers continue their interest and may new friends be added to our ranks during the coining year. We wish to be bigger and better at the Second Milestone.
