Artist Priest Who Helped Decorate Chapel Visits Here.

St. Joseph’s college was honored Tuesday by a visit from Father Paulinus Trost, now rector of the seminary at Carthagenia, Ohio, but who prior to eighteen years ago was a member of the faculty at St. Joseph’s. Father Paulinus is an artist of rare talent and for many years worked with oil paints and he did much of the original paintings that adorned the old chapel at the college. When the new chapel was erected his paintings were preserved and they are held very highly. Father Paulinus now wears a flowing beard which is almost white and many of his old acquaintances would not have known him.
