SPRING HILL REMEMBERS WELL ANDREW JACKSON SMOKING IN HIS TENT BEFORE MOVING ON TO NEW ORLEANS, AND CHAL- METTE-AND THE PRESIDENCYg SHE WELCOMED THE EXILED COURT OF NAPOLEON WHEN THE LITTLE CORPORAL WROTE THEIR DOOM AT WATERLOO. SHE EVEN LET THEM CALL HER FONTAINEBLEAU, AND SHE WATCHED AT THEIR BALLS AS THEY DANCED IN THE UNIFORMS OF NAPOLEON'S OWN REGIMENT. SHE HAD LIVED BENEATH THE FLAGS OF FRANCE, ENGLAND, AND SPAIN BEFORE THE AMERICANS ARRIVED, AND SHE HAD MUCH TO REMEMBER. BUT THE ONE THING SHE WILL NEVER FORGET IS THE SIGHT OF THE RIGHT REVEREND MICHAEL PORTIER, FIRST BISHOP OF MOBILE, RED-FACED AND PERSPIRING, SWINGING AN AX IN THE PINE FOREST TO BUILD A COLLEGE. THAT WAS A HUNDRED AND TEN YEARS AGO. TODAY, BECAUSE A BISHOP WHO WAS THE SCION OF A NOBLE FRENCH FAMILY AND THE FRIEND OF LAFAYETTE WAS NOT AFRAID TO WIELD AN AX, SPRING HILL COLLEGE STANDS AS THE FIRST SCHOOL OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE STATE OF ALABAMA AND THE OLDEST CATH- OLIC BOARDING SCHOOL IN THE UNITED STATES WITH THE EX- CEPTION OF GEORGETOWN AND EMMITSBURG. THIS WAS PART OF HER PAST. TODAY, SPRING HILL COLLEGE STANDS A FULLY ACCREDITED LIBERAL ARTS INSTITUTION CONDUCTED BY THE SOCIETY OF JESUS, WITH A REPRESENTATIVE STUDENT BODY FROM EIGHTEEN STATES. HERE IS THE PRESENT. YOU MAY WRITE THE FUTURE. PURE ORD
