 becoming the first member of the Order in America received at Villanova. It is a point to note that the Seminary has always been a distinct branch on the college. At the same time the college expanded. In April of 1848 a new building was begun and completed the following February at a cost of $11,958.74. That building is now the east wing of Alumni Hall. The “Catholic Instructor” of February 17, 1849, ran the following interesting advertisement: “The location of this college is remarkably healthy and pleasant; it is only ten miles from Philadelphia, from which it can be reached in an hour and a half by the Colombia Railroad or Lancaster Turnpike. The new building erected last summer is now completed; it contains six large classrooms, a hall for studies sixty by fifty feet and fifteen feet high, two dormitories of similar dimensions, with washrooms, playrooms, etc. Whether pupils pursue the general course of studies or confine themselves to particular branches will be left to the option of Parents or Guardians. The discipline of the college requires the study of the Catholic Catechism, and daily attendance at prayers and Mass; therefore Catholic patronage alone is solicited. . . . Terms $125.00 per annum. . . . Bed and bedding arc supplied by the college. . . . Each pupil should bring with him three suits for winter and three suits for summer, six shorts, six towels, six handkerchiefs, six pairs of stockings and drawers, three pairs of boots or shoes, a cloak or overcoat for winter, a knife, fork, and tablespoon.” ILLAN0VA 60LLEGE. 0 I ULtCS. 1 Students must not go into the Convent unless hy special per- mission of the Vice-President. 2 All must rise in the morning without delay, and, when dressed, each one must remain by his bed until the signal is given to leave the dormitory. In case of sickness students should report to tho Prefect, when they will receive any needed attention. 3 No absence from meals, or tardiness on such occasions is allowed without jgecial permisaion obtained beforeliand. 26 This old Baptismal certificate shows that there wa a Parish Church on the campus and that the Sacraments were administered there. Mrs. Shea had lived on the Belle Air estate, having been informally adopted as a child by the Rudolph family. The early use of postage stamps in this coun- try is evidenced in this letter, sent from George- town University to Father Harnett in 1865. At that time, the postofiice was at Henderson's, a country store in West Haverford. Campus life was somewhat different under the more stringent regulations of former days. One such rule forbade a student from receiving books, periodicals, or newspapers from his parents; an- other required him to provide his own knife, fork, dessert spoon, and napkin ring.
