24 THE every student burns the clear, steady fire of the true Catholic faith. ' Your efforts are not without results and results are more than marvelous. The actions of the graduates of this school prove to the most skeptical your wisdom in founding and sup- porting this institution of learning. Their lives show that your training and inspiration lingers even unto and beyond the portals of death. Your judgment in securing the Brothers of Holy Cross to instruct us can not be too highly commended. Your recent action in selecting the Reverend Thomas Conroy to succeed the almost incomparable Reverend John R. Quinlan has provided us with another enterprising and pro- gressive leader who has already proved greatly beneficial to the wel- fare of the school. We shall never forget that to you we owe not only a higher education, but whatever suc- cess we may attain in future years. We wish to take this occasion to extend our thanks for the more than satisfactory improvements our school building is now undergoing. They far exceed the expectations of even the most optimistic among us. When we stop to consider the mea- ger resources available to you for the upkeep of this school, and the things you have accomplished through self- sacrifice and holy endeavor, the re- sults are more than marvelous. Never discouraged, never faltering, even. when it seemed impossible to continue our school, you labored day after day' until today you command the admiration and respect of . every member of your diocese. Your large flock is one in which you can take a just pride. They could hardly be otherwise with such a good and noble leader to strengthen ECHO them by his own courage and blame- less actions. We can consider our- selves indeed favored by Christ in having you at the head of our com- munity. We all join our prayers with those of the faithful and well-wishers of your diocese in beseeching the gra- cious Saviour to permit you to re- main with us for many years to come. Even though He calls you, a faithful worker, to your eternal reward, mem- ory of you will always linger and your works will continue to manifest your wisdom to all those who enter these doors in future years. I repeat, no word we can speak, no deed we can do, will adequately ex- press our true feelings. They. are too deep for human utterance, too sacred for ears other than yours, or those of the glorious Christ you have served so well. ' In his response, Bishop Alerding pointed out the end and purpose of a school essentially Catholic, by show- ing that an education had to train the mind and heart, and by training these faculties, help us to work out God's destiny in our regard. He epito- mized the sciences and the sum of hu- man knowledge, and showed how we could fall short of the expectations of human life. After contrasting the two forms of education-purely sec- ular and the secular as combined with the religious-Bishop Alerding emphatically stressed what we ordi- narily style the externals of educa- tion. --Raymond M urphy, ,251 Frequent communion gives, first, a p e a c e f u l conscienceg second, strength against temptationg third, greater power of concentration in studies and in religion. -A Notre Dame Student.
