Foreword In the early part of the 19th Century the Sorbonne, Paris was a scene of no little commotion. Eight young students formed a Union of Protest against the his- tory professors, promising to refute all bigoted statements. Show us your works, taunted the St. Simonians. In refutation, Ozanam, a student and Pere Bailly assembled the students in his office of the Tribune Catholique and planned to Do Deeds. Thus was formed the St. Vincent de Paul Society. It was modelled simply, according to the principles of the 17th Century and re- ceived the commendation of Popes Greg- ory XVI, Pius IX, and Leo XIII. Ten years of service proved the need of reorganization before it should spread over the world. The spirit of Charity moved many to works of heroism, Ozanam even an old man, serving the State during the Paris uprising in 1848. Their spirit, the spirit of Christ still lives in the hearts and Deeds of OUR students and the work begun a century ago has not failed.
