C RTHAGEN OHIO Saint Charles Seminary is conducted by priests of the Society of the Precious Blood in affiliation with the University of Dayton. Con- tinuous growth of the Seminary needs caused the Society to move many times. finally settling in Carthagena. Ohio. The 1800's saw two buildings erected to house the Seminary. In 1922 the present home of the Seminary was dedicated. Saint Charles Seminary. as an institution of higher learning, has for its chief purpose the preparation of members of the Society of the Precious Blood. The Society Fathers serve parishes as pastors and assistants. conduct schools. and act as chaplains in various types of institutions. Activities. other than studies. that the Semi- narians participate in. are administrative, re- ligious, and athletic endeavors. The Seminar- ians have their own student government to help them more fully understand the relation- ship of man to man. The Seminarians also write. edit, and publish their own annual review and monthly campus newspaper. Comparable to our own U.D. Players, are the Carlton Players of Saint Charles. For the Seminarians who have a musical aptitude, there is the Glee Club and Band. Intramural sports close out the extra- curricular activities of the seminarians. The Division of Arts of Saint Charles Semi- nary was established in September, 1949, as a division fupper levell of the College of Arts and Science of the University of Dayton. The graduates received a Bachelor of Arts in Phi- losophy Degree. Graduation for the Seminar- ians takes place at our June Graduation Exer- cises. This year 13 Seminarians received de- grees from the University.
