IGNATIUS PREP Chicagds First Cardinal By Thos. L. Spelman, '25 N attempting a brief sketch-a very briclf one-of the life and achievements of His Eminence George Cardinal Mundelein, Chi- cago's first cardinal, we neither hope to say something new or to bring to light something obscure. At the time when the archbishop of Chicago was made a mem- ber of the Sacred College at the Vatican by the Sovereign Pontiff, Pope Pius XI, and on the occasion ol' his return to his own see, our news- papers and magazines have filled their pages with ac- counts of very phase of his life, every detail oi' his work, and every expression ot his principles. VVe repeat an old story in order that the IGNA- 'ries PREP and the faculty and student body ot St. Ig- natius High School may pay tribute to their ecclesiastical superior and congratulate their new cardinal upon the singular distinction with which he has been recently honored. In the year 1872 George Mundelein was born in New York, on the turbulent East Side. At the age of six he began his education at St. Nicholas parish school and passed from thence to the De lla Salle Institute otf the Chris- tian Brothers. He next attended Manhattan College, and having chosen the priesthood for his litels work, he entered the preparatory seminary at St. Vineent's in Pennsylvania. Here he so distinguished himself in his studies that he was sent- to Rome to the College of Propaganda. It was here that he was ordained on June 8, 1895, and received his degree of Doctor of Divinity. After completing his studies in Rome, the young priest returned to Brooklyn where he was 201 His EMINEXCE Gifouon C.x1nux.xL BIUXDI-II,liIN Courtesy of Chicago ,'lIHl'l'tlfl1? appointed secretary to the chancellor, Bishop McDonnell. Twelve years later he was made auxiliary bishop ot this same city. ln February, l9l5, Bishop Mundelein was placed at the head ot' the archdiocese of Chicago, following the death ol' Arch- bishop Quigley. Although cited as Amer- ica's youngest archbishop, he quickly distinguished himself by his ready grasp ot the religious, p o l i t i e a l and economic conditions of Chi- cago. I' n d e r Archbishop Mundelein's a ble manage- ment the Quigley Prepara- tory Seminary rose from a comparatively small school to an institution acknowledged to be the largest and most complete in the lfnited States tor the training ot young men studying for the priest- hood. ln like manner sprang into being the Bishop Quarter School for small boys, Rosary College, Josephinium Acad- emy and the Immaeulata for girls, and numerous other educational institutions. Vllhen the Loyola University Medical School was stagger- ing under the :financial burden of maintaining ,its Class A standing, Archbishop Mundelein came to its support. But the greatest educational project inaug- urated by Archbishop lllundelein and one which is now rapidly nearing completion, is the Sem- inary of St. Mary-ot'-the-Lake at Area, Illinois. lnstitutions such as these shall, always remain as a lasting memorial to the man whose foresight and ability have caused their erection. Another work for which our cardinal will al- ways be remembered is his organization of the Associated Catholic Charities. It was fortunate for the poor and invalid of Chicago that such
