St. flbtcbaets Gtabtiateseeeectommueo four of its members to the Church and one to the legal pro- fession. Wlith each succeeding year the number of B,A.'s increased. 1911 saw six graduates. From now on we shall find that the majority of the members of the classes are still on the paths leading to their final fields of endeavour. However, an odd one who has arrived thither will be occasionally noted. Four of Class ,II are aspirants for Holy Grders. Two, Messrs. B. Fitzpatrick and M. Mulligan, have already received their call to the bar. Mr. Fitzpatrick is practising in this city, Mr. Mulligan in Sudbury. Messrs. H. Bellisle, C. Coughlin and F.. McCorkell are at St. Basil's Scholasticate where they are pur- suing theological studies for the Basilian Community. Mr. H. Dignan, a student at St. Peter's Seminary, London, has received the call to Subdeaconship. Nine graduates make up Class ,I2. The majority of these are now at St. Augustinels Seminary, Toronto. These are Messrs. F. McGreavy, R. Miller, G. Kirby, D. Q'Connor, and F. Rierdon. Mr. XV. Murray is awaiting his call to orders at the Grand Seminary, Montreal. The remaining three mem- bers of the class are teaching: Mr. M. Bench, Professor of Philosophy at Assumption College, Sandwich, Mr. Bennett, principal of St. Maryls School, Hamilton, and Mr. P. Maloney, assistant in Chemistry at Toronto University, where he is taking up post-graduate work. Of this group these six have already signified their intentions of becoming priests. Fight of the eleven graduates of the following vear are in Seminaries. Messrs. B. Kingsley and M. OlBrien will shortlv return as priests and Doctors of Divinity from the Propaganda at Rome. Torontois Seminary is providing the necessarv ele- ments in theology to Messrs. C. Black, F. Brennan and A. I Morgan. . Mr. L. Forrestal is attending the Diocesan Seminary at London and Mr, D. Foristell is at St. Basil's Novitiate of this citv. Three others remain. Mr. T. McGwan is at pres- ent employed as teacher at the De La Salle Institute. Mr. V. Quarry attends the Faculty of Education. The year's gift to law is Mr. C. O'Leary, who is just hnishing his second year at Osgoode Hall. lYith a brief account of last year's class we are done with this cataloguing. From among the number one is already a priest. Rev. WY Sharpe, CSB., ordained last fall, is doing post-graduate work in the Catholic University at Xkfashington. Four others have begun their seminary training. They are: Mr. D. Dillon, St. Basil's Scholasticateg Mr. I. Kehoe, St. :Xugustine's Seminary, Mr. R. O'Neil, Grand Seminary, Mont- real, and Mr. H. Gonter, St. Thomas' College, Houston, Texas. Mr. P. 0'Brien is teaching in St. Mary's School, Hamilton, while C. Donovan is still at the College. And now, gentle reader, this list is completed. You are glad. But to aid you in making a final estimate of the number let us set down a few figures: Ordained Priests . . . . . . 13W Seminarians .... . . . 5821 Tiawycrs ...... . . . 1 1 Ck Teachers, etc. ............. 18170 Tn reference to these we need make no comments. The figures tell their own story. The graduates whom you have just reviewed possess those qualities which must inevitably win for themselves both fame and influence and for their Alma Mater a lofty prestige among the educational institutions of Canada.
