THE VENERABLE DON BOSCO
In the field of science among many names that have brought renown to the Society may be mentioned, Father Ubaldi, founder and director of "Didaskaleio", a magazine devoted to research in the works of the Fathers of the Church; Father Mezzacasa, the first priest to receive the degree of Doctor in Sacred Scripture at the new Institute of Biblical Studies, founded by the late Pius X; Father Piscetta in Theology; Father Munerati in Canon Law; and Father Carmagnola as a sacred orator and author of many ascetical works. In the arts Father Vespignani has become celebrated as the architect of Don Bosco's Tomb, and of many beautiful churches and schools in Italy and South America; Father Grosso is an authority in Gregorian Chant; and Father Pagella is held in honor by sacred musicians over the world as a composer of polyphonic music and writer of theoretical works.
In the Industrial Arts, Trades and Agriculture the Salesian Fathers are initiating a series of textbooks, based on their long years of experience, which they hope to present ere long as models in this new department of pedagogy.
