I Ik educational system of Seattle college and the course of studies are substantially the same as in all other colleges of tin Society of Jesus. file ideal of the Jesuit system of training is that education is a developing, through discipline, of the mental and moral powers of the student. It is not therefore mere instruction or acquisition of knowledge, though these two necessarily accompany any right system of education. . . . Learning is the instrument of education, not its end. Its end is culture and mental and moral development, to impart that accuracy of thought and breadth of view which must ever be tin foundation as well of more advanced scholarship as of eminence in the professions and other stations of life. ... It is not possible to (ill the student's mind with all the information necessary for a lifetime, but it is presumed that a conscientious application to the curriculum will impart a considerable amount of positive knowledge in the major fields of learning; that the student will have an intelligent sympathy with progress and intellectual activity generally and he saved from narrowness and superficiality. . . . The system does not foster the illusion that education has a morally elevating influence in human life. While conceding the effects of education in energizing and refining the imagination, taste, understanding and the powers of observation, it has always been held that religion alone can have any real moral efficacy. Hence, in its moral and religious training the college aims at building the conscience of its students for the right fulfillment of their civil, social and religious duties.

as the only solid basis of virtue and morality, thorough instruction in the principles of religion forms an essential part of the system. . . . The student body of Seattle college feels especially fortunate in having as teachers members of the Society of Jesus, whose four hundred years of experience and strict adherence to the principles of the “Ratio Studiorum“ make theirs a real Catholic education. . . . Seattle college started on September 27, 1891, when the Reverend ictor Garrand, S. J., and the Reverend Adrian Sweere, S. J.. opened a school in St. Francis’ hall on Sixth and Spring streets. In 1893 the present building on Broadway and E. Marion was started. The fall of 1894 saw the actual beginning of Seattle college, but college courses were not fully introduced until 1900. . . . Between 1900 and 1919. the College struggled to meet the demands of a rapidly expanding student body. Through the generosity of the late Mr. Thomas C. McHugh, Seattle college was moved in 1919 to the buildings of tin former Adelphia college on Interlaken boulevard. . . . Owing to continued expansion it was necessary to separate the college from the high school department. In 1931. therefore, Seattle college was reopened in the remodeled building at Broadway and E. Marion. The high school. Seattle Preparatory school, remained at Interlaken boulevard. ... I nder direction of the Reverend Howard Peronteau, S. J.. as Dean, the College reopened in 1931 with some forty students. Father Peronteau was succeeded by the Reverend James B. McGoldrick, S. J.. who has been Dean for the past four years. . . . Functioning progressively according to the ideals of Jesuit education. Seattle college has in five years grown from a college of forty or fifty students to a fully accredited four-year college with a total enrollment of 907 students. Plans for an immediate building program promise continuance of this phenomenal growth.
