98 the Sacred Congregation of Studies to see Monsignor Antonucci 1 about some matters of the Academy. I gave him the letter from Alexander Kakowski 2 and also the Report on the State of the Theological Academy of St. Petersburg. 3 I asked him to look it over and to check whether anything had been omitted. He promised to do so, and I would then visit him at home around 4:30 p.m., Via dell’Anima 45, to inquire about the report and at the same time to give him some books from the rector. He had collected more or less all that had been published by the professors of the Academy in recent years and had given these publications to me to hand over to the Sacred Congregation as evidence of the fruits of the professors’ labors. Immediately after the noonday meal, at about 2 o’clock, Father Mosser 4 (a Resurrectionist) came to see me and took me to the Polish College 5 (via Marioniti 22) to visit Archbishop Teodorowicz. 6 I also wanted to see two seminarians who lived at the College— + ysik 7 and Kalinowski 8 —both from the seminary of Warsaw. I gave them some letters from Father Bronikowski 9 and spoke with each of them separately about our plans for the Marian Congregation, but only very briefly. I said that if they were interested and wanted more information they could continue to correspond with Father Bronikowski. + ysik had already been in touch with Father Bronikowski and said that he intended to join us in Fribourg this year, but the rector of the seminary had detained him because he had a scholarship to study in Rome. Kalinowski was also not opposed to 1 Giuseppe Antonucci: in 1911, undersecretary of the Congregation of Sacred Studies. 2 Kakowski (1862-1938) was Rector of the Theological Academy of St. Petersburg (1910-1913). 3 The Latin title was Relatio de Statu Accademiae Petropolitana Ecclesiasticae. 4 August Mosser (1857-1930) was general procurator of the Resurrectionist Congregation at this time. 5 The Polish Papal College founded by the Resurrectionist Fathers in 1866 and directed by them until 1928. 6 Jozef Teofil Teodorowicz (1864-1938): Armenian-rite Archbishop of Lvov (Ukraine) from 1901.
