cieuit ' Tis education forms the common mind: Just as the twig is bent the tree ' s inclined. And so it is that our faculty, to whom we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude, instructs us to follow in the footsteps of Christ. As they have taught us, so may we also teach others by our example and our deeds. To these, our leaders, go our respect, obedience, and fidelity. They have dedicated their lives to God for the purpose of training and teaching us. Their instruction and direction hove helped to form good. Catholic citizens of the future.

This year marks the Hundredth Anniversary of the Papal Approbation of the Con- stitutions of the Congregation to which the Brothers belong. The Decree, just quoted, was the official announcement by which the Holy See formally approved this religious society. The Congregation is made up of two societies: a Priests ' Society called the- Salvotorists of Holy Cross and a Brothers ' Society, known as Josephites of Holy Cross. The Society of Brothers was founded by the Rev. James Dujarie in 1820 and the Society of Priests by Abbe Basil Moreau in 1836. In 1837, these two societies were united under the name of the Association of Holy Cross, with Father Moreau as the first Superior General. The name is derived from the little suburb of Holy Cross, near Le Mans, France, where the novitiate of the Association was located. With the Holy See ' s approval of the Constitutions in 1857, the name, Congregation of Holy Cross (C. S. C.l was adopted. As stated in its Constitutions, the Congregation has for its special end, the soncti- ficotion of souls by the ecclesiastical ministry, particularly the preaching of the work of God— (and) Christian education and instruction through teaching. To achieve this end, the Religious of Holy Cross have labored in many nations for the good of souls. They first came to the United States in 1841, and 1842 to Notre Dame, Indiana. Today, Holy Cross Religious are found in Brazil, Canada, Chile, France, India, Italy, and Africa. The Uni- versity of Notre Dame, the Oratory of Saint Joseph in Montreal, the Family Rosary Cru- sade, conducted by these religious, have achieved international prominence. Congratulations to all Holy Cross Priests and Brothers on the occasion of the Cente- nary! Let each student here, benefiting from the works of the Congregation, make it a special duty to pray that the work of the Church, entrusted to Holy Cross, may continue to flourish for God ' s Glory and for the sanctification of souls. CENTENARY- 1957 The Very Reverend Christopher J. O ' Toole, C.S.C., present Superior General of the Congregation of Holy Cross. Brother Donctus Schmitz, C.S.C, Provincial Superior of the Midwest American Province. 23
