do so. To those who have the care of souls upon them, no work can possibly have a greater appeal than that of education. Upon its right conduct depends the happiness and welfare of our social and national fabric, for truly the measure of a nation’s contentment, prosperity and worth is in the calibre of its citizens, and its citizens will be, to a. great extent, what their educa- tional institutions make them. The true greatness of a people does not depend solely upon material re- sources, or unlimited affluence; its foundations cannot be reared simp- ly upon the unstable pillars of com- mercial or industrial supremacy; it cannot rely, for its security, upon the possession of mighty defensive forces, alone, whether on land and sea. or in the air. All these may be had, and give 9. temporary show
of glory, bllt they will ultimately avail for nothing, and will soon prove fleeting shadows and vex- ing causes of swifter decay unless the inheritors of those are men and
women of ,sound moral charmbcr, of unswerving fidelity to sound re- ligious principles, and of lofty sc- cial worth. The attainment of all this must be education's primary aim.
Certainly we admit that it will be impossible for any community to hold its place in modern society if it does not keep pace with pro- gress and become efficiently equip- ped in the educational require- ments of the arts and sciences, but unless the supremacy of the spirit- ual is kept before teachers and pupils alike, we confidently assert that our civilization is heading straight towards disaster. I was particularly struck by the noble
mer President of the United States, on the occasion of the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial Library in South Dakota, some years ago.
President Coolidge said; “Unless
our halls of learning are real temples, which are to be approach- ed by our youth in an attitude of
reverence, consecrated by the wor-

But go farther' back than the opening up of North Am- erica: go back to the schools of the Middle Ages: in retrospect, with the common eye of Catholicity, peer into the Benedictine Monastcries which dotted the expanse of Europe and wherein monks were incessant- ly laboring and studying: see the Cathedral schools of the time of Charlemagne: go back to the be- ginnings of Oxford in 802 when our Catholic forebears founded this world-renowned school. Under the egis of the Church, a number of medical students in the south of Italy assembled around the springs of Salerno and thus began the first great medical institution. Catholic students of law gathered at Bologna to hear Imeriua lectur- ing on the Roman Law, and so the first great legal faculty of univer- sities originated. From all parts of Europe men travelled by day, and slept here and there by night, and at last reached the banks of the Seine to hear those renowned teachers-clergy most of them~ and we are witnessing the begin-

faculties of men, all physical and mental developnlent of human be- ings were ccnfiscated and capital- ized for the service of the State.
Into 11 world dominated by this
theory of education came the gentle Saviour with His gospel of love and the equality of mankind: with His rebuklng query to a su- premely selfish, pleasure-seeking, niat.eriuli.siic world: "What will it profit it man if he gain the wllole world, and lose his immortal soul?" From that moment a new ideal shone before the eyes of men, asI a. sort of beacon light from heaven, beckoning them onwards, and turn- ' ing their thoughts towards the ac-
quisition of all the noblest and best I
things which gradually became the warp and woof of Christian civili- zation-the cherished possessions of those who built up this new continent that we might live and be here today to enjoy one of the benefits of their labours. The "em- ergencies of life" henceforth meant, citizenship in the fleeting life of our earthly home, plus citizenship in the unending life of heaven. Catholic education therefore has been based upon the firm founda- tion of unqucstioning faith in a living and personal God above us, Who is thc Scrutinizer of our souls, and the final Arblter of all our thoughts, words and actions. We believe that we must all seek to cultivate our minds and faculties to the best of our ability; we must use our opportunities to develop and enrich our citizenship in this world, but over and above all else, cost. what it muy, we must keepl before us the true end of all living, which is to know. serve and love God Who created us and Who has predestinated us all to live with Him eternally in heaven. In her educational system and program the Catholic Church has never lost
reason and revelation. Pope Pius
referred a moment ago, thus sum-
arizcs our educational duty as taking" in the whole aggregate of fc: physical and spiritual: men-
Emplre. Education has extended the scale of social values and in- creasingly intensified in millions of new recruits. the power and the desire to will the means of action. But the aid that our educational system can increasingly give to this complicated social and econcmit transformation is being limited be- cause we have refused to solve the fundamental problem of religious instruction and to allocate to in-
stitutional religion its harmonious place in the task of training for life. Until we have done that, no matter how scientifically planned may be our educational machinery. ‘or how loyally it may be worked. there will be a steady flow of grit clogging the gears and causing all the bearings to run red-hot."
Aim of Education
To enthrone Christian belief on
its proper pedestal, to show re- ligion's harmonious place in everl phase of human activity, to keel out of private, domestic and socia life the grit of false principles, ti make the truly complicated mach- inery of social .intercourse run smoothly, has been the aim and task of those who have been pre- parlng these young men to bravell meet the problems of life that wil henceforth face them. This Univer- sity-college has endeavored to train its students for commercial, indus- trial or professional enterprises, ai cultured Christian gentlemen, dis- ciplined in true self-knowledge, self-reverence and self-control, in- tellectually equlpped to assume po- sitions of leadership among their fellow men. For the business world. whether as agriculturaliats or in- dustrialists, they have been trained in honesty and fair dealing, ana high ideals of duty have been placed before them. li they are to enter the larger universities and devote their future to pedagogical pursuits or to the lcamed profes- sions of law, medicine or engineer- ing, they have been prcpared here with sound Christian ethical con- cepts uf the origin and sanctity oi human life, and have been taughi that their wisdom must never de-
tai and moral: individual, social, and domestic: not with a view of reducing these in any way, but in order to perfect each in accord- ance with the example and teach- ings of Christ. "Hence," he says, "the product of Christian education is the supernatural mall, who thinks. judges and acts constantly in accordance with right reason, illuminated by the supernatural light of the example and teachings of Christ." Catholic education therefore is n system of noblest vision, lending on to true broad- mindedlicss and sane thorouglmess, because it costs its influences over every profession and walk of life, from the huniblcst to the highest, and docs not consider its work done until "lifc`s fltful fever" is over and our graduates are crown- cd by their Maker, with the final “Well done, good and faithful scr- vant."
