VVith the termination of the Civil W'ar, the normal life Was resumed at the Prep. A second period of develop- ment began. This period continued un- til the Spanish-American War When het students again volunteered in de- fense of their country. For a period of ten years after the War the Brothers continued their efforts to provide the Hnest Catholic education for their stu- dents. In 1809 the local community ap- plied for admission to the Third Order Regular of Saint Francis. This appli- cation Was accepted, and today the faculty of both the Prep and College is compromised of Priests of that Or- der assisted by lay professors. Al- though the Third Order Regular has been established in ithis country for only thirty-nine years, it has attained a position of importance in the State. At the present time it is the second largest province of the Order and gives fair promise of soon being the largest province of the World. The province now boasts ninety-two priests with a large clericate and lay brother- hood. After the close of World War II, the enrollment of both the Prep and College soared. Therefore it was de- cided that, for the betterment of both units, the Prep be separated entirely from the College. In the spring of 1946, with the ,gracious approbation of His Excellency the Most Reverend George L. Leech, D.D., Bishop of Harrisburg, the Prep Was removed to Spring Grove, Pennsylvania, Where it now occupies the luxurious Glatfelter Estate situated in the fertile hills of York County. No doubt those first six Brothers who settled in Loretto so long ago look down with amazement and pleasure upon the advancements of their suc- cessors. The progress made by the Third Order Regular is indicative of real American pioneering, but above all it is a display of the true Francis- can spirit.
