UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME DU LAC. Spectat Correspondence of The Chteago Tribune, Sourn Benp, Ind, June 23.—Very much more than ordinary interest attaches to the Commencement exercises nt the “reat Unlvyersity of Notre Damo du Lac, which were conducted most satis- factorily to-day. Combining tho experience aml consequent perfectness of the best edu- entional Institutions of Europe, and the en- terprise and energy of the young West, whither, according to the best authority, the Star of Emplre hag taken {ts way, Notre Damme, in ttle mora than a quarter of a century, has wrought her way to tho very front, und stands to-day as an Htustration, if not the synonym, of progress in the fleld of culture, Her proud eminence has not been attained, however, without Inbor and those sacrifices whieh earnest mon are willing to minke for the advancement of intelligence and virtue, As early as 1838, according to Mr. Turner’s “Gazetteer of the St. Joseph Valley,” the i Stephen ‘IT. Badin visited the spot now known as Notre Daine, and, with an eye schooled to the appreciation of the beautiful in nature, beeame finpressed with the lovell- ness of the situation. The gently-undulat- ing surface; the groves of magnificent oaks and ather trees of the forest; the natural fertility of thesoll; the abundant growth of native grasses; the profusion of wild tlowers; the crystal Inkes; and, generally, all that could contribute to the composition of a scene of rural beauty and almost absolute anchantinent, tttracted Is attention, and Lecame a propheey, in his mind of future advantages and pious uses. Le, therefore, Jost no thie in securing the title ton mag nificent domain of some 1,100 neres, whieh, with zealous devotion, he dedicated to the education of youth, Subse quently the trust was transferred to the Very-Rev. E. Sorin, of the Congrema- tlon of the Holy Cross, who, with a ‘few brathers of his Order who had then recently eome to America from France, took passes- sion in 1642. With that plous determination and indomitable nena which enter largely Into the character of this extraordinary man, Father Sorln immediately began that system of Improvements which “has resulted In giy- ‘ing Notre Dame an envhible reputation throughout our own borders and In, forelgn lands, From tho humble positton of teacher dna rude cabin of unkewn logs, Father “Sorin has risen to the high office of General f his Order throughout the world, and with istinn simplicity and gentleness wields power forn great goo, Since hiy ut here he has crossed the a Fthirtyeseyen thnes, in furthormpes. of lbs hotiieltl duties; without serlous disaster, and. sno delay except that oecasionvd by tho. ‘disabling of the steamer L’Amerique a few yenrs ongo.

MARY’S. ACADEMY. Bpeeiat Correepondence of The Chieitgo Tribune, Sour Benn, Ind. June 2.—One ile from Notre Dame and two from South Bend, onahigh promontory whose base fs washed by the clear, rapid waters of the St. Joseph River, * Whero the beams of the morning sun quiver, Whero the mapte and sycamore grow," in the midst of such a sceno of loveliness ns the Imagination may conceive, but which Innguage cannot deserlbe, is situated that arent schgpl of Science, Art, and General Culture, whose constituency reaches from ocenn to ocean, and whose excellence is al- tested by the happiest results. It Is St. Mary’s Academy, an institution of liberal andsolid learning for the benefit of young Indies and girls, presided over by Mother Mary of St. Angela, assisted by an ample corpsof devoted and necomplished agsuci- ales, mostly Sisters of the Holy Cross. Here rises un fmmense pile, glowing with arehi- | tectural beauty, and adapted to those eduea- tonal uses for which it was designed. The loention Is proverbially healthy and_plet- uresquely delightful. Eighty acres of fertile Jand havo been surrendered to shrubs and flowers, to walks and lawns, to statuary from the hand of Art, and forest-trees planted by the hand of Nature. Fountains inlagle thelr silvery spray with tho shimmering sun. light, where groves and grottoes In- vite to ensa and contemplation, Tirds sing thelr merry roundelays in the leafy branches; while. chattering squirrels, In sportive mood, Jeap from limb to Imb, in this their native home, Forty other acres are devoted to orchards and gardens, or such other nges ns give to the iumntes of the Acudemy the choicest, freshest, and ‘health- lest vegetables: and frults, or other Ingre- dients of a proper «ict. It was a happy thought which located St. Mary’s and Notre Dame in such elose prox- inity, and bound them together ina unity of interests and usefulness. ‘Chey are, tndeed, twin institutions of learning, identical in purpose and mutual in endeavor, What tha ulversity is to the male, that is St. Mary's to the feniale of our race, ‘Lhe one weder- takes to unfold youth Into generous mane hoot: the other to cultivate femule, jemculy expat the soul, and adorn tho béart and charneter with deeply-rootdd and gentle vi tues.
