Among the manifold blessings which poured out over the Universal Church from the See of Peter through the paternal bounty of Pope Pius Xll on the occasion of the recent consistory there was one, the document of which appears on the follow- ing page, which holds some claim to being unique and exceptional. Perhaps it was this very characteristic which appealed to Our Holy Father. For while thirty-two out- standing members of the Hierarchy had been chosen and raised to the honors and responsibilities of the Cardinalate, while Dioceses, Orders, Institutions, families, and individuals shared in the spiritual largesse of the Vicar of Christ-here comes a mere idea of a Catholic university for Texas- not more than a promise, a pledge, and a plan, asking for the highest approbation and surest guarantee of fulfillment in the Pontifical Blessing of the Vicar of Christ. Surely it must have been its poverty, its hope, its plea to come into being and to join with all the rest in the service of Christ under the guidance of His Vicar. Surely it must have been these features which moved the paternal heart of the great Pontiff to raise his hand and confer that Blessing, adding Peramanter in Domino- with all my heart, in the Lord. The Editors of the AQUIN invite their readers to a careful inspection of these documents of petition and Blessing, for there will be seen how a layman may serve the cause of Catholic education, how valu- able is the signature of -our good Bishop whose name is affixed to the Petition, and, finally, how truly fatherly is the heart of Pope Pius Xll, who not only graciously granted our petition but sealed the Docu- ment with the Papal Seal and signed it with his own hand.
