A student entering high school may continue on through college without change of school. At the same time, however, there is absolute separation of these two de- partments, each having its own distinct class rooms, dormitories, study halls, dining rooms, campus and student activities. M01'COVCT, there is no overlapping of faculty, each de- partment has its own oflicers and teachers. This plan offers the student a very decided advantage. It secures for his course of studies a uniformity oi method that can hardly be had otherwise. It precludes interruptions and set- backs that are all but unavoidable when change of school and teaching system is made. fo '-fxtlapf ' iff f 74T-K if 7.,.1l'? . 26 .g. - , -Ii'.'l'.

' 1 , . , K niirp 1..iIl,wxII,. t f A i The College Faculty their studies the uniform mental training given by a systematic college course. The studies, therefore, are so graded and classified as to be adapted to the mental growth of the stu- dent and to the scientific unfolding of knowl- edge. They are so chosen and communicated that the student will gradually and harmon- iously reach, as nearly as may be, that meas- ure of culture of which he is capable. Miich stress is also laid on mental and moral philosophy, as well for the influence such study has in mental development, as for its power in steadying the judgment of the stu- dent in his outlook on the world and on life. With such a definite system to defend against attack, the mind becomes more acute and plastic, the logical powers are strength- ened, the value of a proof is properly estimated, the vulnerable points of error are readily de- tected, and truth comes forth triumphant from every conflict of mind with mind.

'V' 'ri The High School Faculty Lastly, the system does not share the illusion of those who seem to imagine that education, understood as an enriching and stimulating of the intellectual faculties, has a morally ele- vating iniluence in human life. While con- ceding the effects of education in energizing and rehning imagination, taste, understanding and powers of observation, we have always held that knowledge and intellectual develop- ment of themselves have no moral eihcacy. So that the purpose of Jesuit teaching is to lay a solid substructure in the whole mind and character for any superstructure of science, professional and specialg as well as for the up- building of moral, civil and religious life. llli f1.'lTSXll' MR.
