THE ECHO i ke College Department LAST year we announced the results for the first year of existence of the revivified College department, and this year we can tell of the great improvement the second year of life has brought to it. The number attending the College classes was practically doubled, and with the increased attendance, and greater familiarity with each other, the students went ahead by leaps and bounds. In every branch of school activity a considerable improvement was noticeable. But still there are as yet no graduates. Next year, it is to be hoped, and in fact it is practically sure that there will be the full four years’ College course and we will be able to point with pride to the first graduates of Seattle College in many years. May these graduates be the first of a long and unbroken line. The more men who graduate from Catholic colleges the more men there will be in the world who are thoroughly grounded in their religion, and completely capable of resisting those who would destroy the rights of Catholics. It is the purpose of the College department to complete the education that has been started in the High School; to round it out with an increased knowledge of the liberal arts. The Collegian receives a thorough course in sound philosophy; philosophy which will enable him to resist the agnostic tendencies of the day, which will give him the logic to enable him to answer in a powerful manner the clever sophists who abound in the world of controversialists. It is the purpose of the College department to turn out the completely educated Catholic gentleman. Before we depart from the College department there is one thing to be noticed. In their first year the College men on account of their fewness were unable to take the lead in school activities as was fitting, but this year there was no such lack of leadership evident. Encouraged by members and experience the Collegians were the leaders in every activity. Within the year they have created a true College spirit which we hope they will preserve untarnished throughout the years of their school life. They are to be sincerely congratulated on their great improvement and it is with great hope that we look forward to the coming year, the first of many in which Seattle College will come fully into its own.
