S E A T T L E C () L L E G E A X X UAL 9 The college was founded, the foundation stone of higher education in Seattle was laid. But it was reserved to the founder to taste first of the bitter cup of trials and difficulties which was in store for the men who were interested in the progress of the institution. A severe epidemic broke out in Seattle which counted a number of victims among the pupils. The two Jesuit teachers were recalled to Spokane by higher superiors and Fr. Gar-rand fought in vain against the onslaught of the disease. He was confined to his bed for several weeks. It is at this time that Fr. Dethoor came to Seattle to relieve him of his ministerial burdens. In the gradual building up of Seattle College Fr. Garrand was anxious to eliminate the parochial school feature in order to give ampler room to the students for the higher courses of studies in classics and sciences. Consequently the smaller pupils were confided to the absolute care of the Sisters of the Holy Names who founded for that purpose the St. Rose’s Academy. In January, 1896, Fr. Garrand was relieved of the office of Superior by Fr. Diomedi, and in November of the same year he bade farewell to Seattle and to the College he had founded. In dedicating this number of the “Palestra” to Fr. Garrand, we feel that we are simply taking an opportunity to express our gratitude to the man who endeared himself to so many people in Seattle and who took such a prominent part in our early history. FUGIT IRREPARABILE TEMPUS Those people here below who say— We’ll lag a bit along our way, And from the bounteous future day We’ll borrow— Will find the future’s pathways lined With tombs of those who lagged behind— Today is yesterday they’ll find, Tomorrow. Robert J. Neilan, ’18.

SEATTLE COLLEGE ANNUAL 11 FOREWORD The students of Scuttle College are to be congratulated uf on this, the third appearance of the Palestra.” This publication is an added proof of the good will and loyalty of our students. But, moreover, it is an exposition of the work which is carried on in their English Classes, and indicates a spirit of study and research. I cannot impress too strongly upon the student body the necessity of careful training in English, both in the authors and in the art of composition. The result of this training will constitute one of the criteria by which you and your College will be judged by the world. And because the annual numbers of the Palestra are helping to the desired end of producing educated men, capable of correct invention and exposition, feel that it is no more than just to encourage the Editor, his assistants, and the whole Student Body in their efforts to produce a representative magazine. JOSEPH TOM KIN, S. J.
