IN MANY OTHER INSTITUTIONS The Normal School Furnishes Well- Equipped Teachers. BUSINESS HIGH SCHOOL The graduation exercises of the Catholic University were held this morning in the avditoriim of McMahon Hall, and were at- tended by a number of the friends of the institution resident in Washington and elsewhere, The hall was simply decorated. Above the platform were draped stream- ers of canary and white, the same colors being festconed around the large portrait of Pope Leo XIII, which occupied the rear wall. On either side the piliars were draped in red, across which was hung the American flag. A few minutes before the exercises began a procession of the stu- dents and professors was formed at divin- ity hall and marched to the McMahon hall, with Rey. Dr. Edward A. Pace, dean of the school of philosophy, at its he: The re: wes taken up by the professors, th bright hoods, significant of their degrees and the colleges which conferred them, mikirg a picturesque effect, which was heighter ed by the scarlet robes of Cardinal Gibbons, who came last, escorted by Bishop Keane on his right and Rev. Dr. Garrigan on his left. Next to the cardinal the per- scnage who attracted the most attention and reverence from the onlookers was the venerable Monsignor McMahon, to whose mvnificence the Catholic University owes so much. He displayed a lively interest in the proceedings, despite his advanced age, and the pleasure he was enjoying was evident to all. When the hall was reached Cardinal Gtb- bons took his seat in the center of the plat- fcrm, with Bishop Keane, Monsignor Mc- Mahon and Dr. Pace on his right, and Dr. Garrigan, Dr. Grannan and Prof. Wm. Rob- inson on his left. Behind them sat the members of the various faculties, while the front rows of seats in the auditorium were occupied by the graduates and the students in the various schools, gowned in appro- priate university style. The visitors were seated behind them, and a very large num- ber of them were ladies. Bishop Keane's Address. Bishop Keane, rector of the university, in opening .the exercises, said that they marked the completion of the seventh year of the work of the Catholic University, and were approached with the deepest gratitude. The past year had been one of especi: solicitude and difficulty, because the new schools of social sciences and philosoph: had been added to the school of divinity and opened, and the problem had been con- fronted of bringing their conflicting aims into a harmonious whole. It had been the object to give every branch its full rights, with due regard for the rights of every other branch, and t make it possible for all the br: together in harmon: This condition was pinfluence in accomplishing what was so de- youtly desired. Bishop Keane also showed how the together of so many pro- fessors, trained in varlous schools and holding their own ideas, had proven a great y, because a bal- ancing of their views and the welcoming of everything in them that was advisable had led to a wise eclecticism, which he hoped would have great effect on the future power of the institution for good. Facing the Future. “The Cathciic University is to be the uni- versity of the twentieth century,” said the rector proudly. “Its face is to the future. Its professors and its students must take into cognizance the studies of the past and Present with eyes to the future. The uni- versity must be conducted on lines erbre ing the very highest ideals of the next c tury and regard them in the influence they will have on speculative and practical learning.” Bishop Keane, with much feeling, alluded to the ioyal mancver in which the students had co-operated with the faculties in se- curing what the university intended to ac- complish. In the divinity class the stu- dents were the picked men of the various theological seminaries of the country, while the lay students he characterized as a con- solation, and declared that not a complaint had been made against any student of the university, and that none had been guilty cf any conduct that would throw discred't upon his alma mater. Learned in the Law. He announced the various degrees that would be conferred and at the conclusion of his remarks Prof. William Robinson, the dean of the school of philesophy, arose ard informed Cardinal Gibbons that there would be no graduates this year from the school of philosophy preper, but that in the department ot laws five gentlemen had been found worthy of elevaticn to high honors. The names of Mr. William T Cashman and Mr. George ‘onnell were called and two fine-looking went forward and received their diplomas as bachelors of the law from the cardinal. As the recipients knelt before the cardinal and recelved the parchment roll the car- dinal placed about their necks the hood of yellow and purple significan: of the de- grees they had received. The degree of LL.M. w*- conferred upon Mr. Thomas D. Mott, jr. James C. Burke, Mr. James L. Kenne.y and Mr. Brainard Avery. The same ceremony was observad in the caso of each. Mr. Mott then made an addre: on behalf his fellow graduates, whic Was a graceful and thoughtful treatment of the significance of the diplema they had received and the pledge it contained of their duty in the future. The diploma, he said, was the degree of recogniticn beyond which the recipients were expected to climb, and he promised for hurself and his associates to always remember what it symbolized and to always enceavor to as- certain what wns right in prosecuting the Mr. Mott was heartily applauded when he concluded and XM MeMahon was particularly emphatic in the manifestation of his approval. Twenty-Three Divinity Degrees. Rey. Dr. Grannan, the dean of the theo- logical school of the university, then ad- dressed the cardinal, calling attention to the fect that the largest class in the his- tory of the university had been graduated this year, eleven students receiving the baccalaureate cf theology and twelve the Ncentiate. Speaking for the other members of the faculty and himself, Dr. Grannan said he was proud of the graduates, and knew they would be a credit to the uni- versity both as men and as priests. He paid high tribute to the faithfulness with which they had devoted themselves to their studies, and especially for the thoroughness and character of their independent personal research. The death of Dr. William J. Fogarty, which was caused last week by his falling from a window in Divinity Hali, was touchingly alluded to. Dr. Grannan said that he had passed a brilliant examination and had graduated with the highest honors possible. He had been destined for a great career by his superiors already, because he had come to the university heralded es a man of uncommon genius, and during his two years there had more than fulfilled all the good words which preceded him. He was laborious, said Dr. Grannan, prayerful, docile, highly courteous, and withal manly and firm. The Profession of Faith. He then read out the names of the twenty-three theological graduates, includ- ing that of Dr, Fogarty, and the young priests came from their seats and knelt in a line in front of the platform, while the Rev. John J. Lynch read in Latin the pro- fession of faith, The young divines at the conclusicn of the reading went upon the stage as their names were called, and placing their hands upon the open Bible which rested on Cardinal Gibbons’ lap, read the oath which he held in his hand, and subscribed to it by kissing the emerald ring symbolical of the cardinalate on the hand of Cardinal Gibbons. Those receiving the degree of baccalau- reate of theology were Revs. Thomas F. Burke, Bertrand S. Conway of the Paulist community, Alphonsus Carey of St. Paul, John M. Cummings of New York, Cornelius F. Crowley of New York, Maurice M. Has- sett of James J. Keane of New York, James Kirwan of Galveston, James F. O'Neill of Philadelphia, Francis J. Sheehan of Philadelphia, and Joseph H. Tetlemar of St. Louis. The following were made licentiates in theology: Revs. Patrick J. Keane, San Francisco; William J. Fut- terer, Albany; John A. Fleming, Hartford; James A. lan, Albany; Edward E. O’Brien, Washington; George Glaab, Wash- ington; Cornelius F. Crowley, New York: Francis Gilfillan, St. Louls; John J. Lynch, lbany; James J. Keane, New York; John J, Clifford, Monterey, Cal. v. ‘ee Glaab of this city made the address to the cardinal and the faculty, which was im- pressive to a noticeable degree. Remarks of Cardinal Gibbons. At its conclusion Bishop Keane an- nounced that Cardinal Gibbons, chancellor of the university, would deliver his annual address. ‘The cardinal read from manu- Script, and said he desired to emphasize certain features which gave the occasion a peculiar character, A difficult task had been accomplished in the organization of the co-ordinate schools, in which it had been essential that judgment and foresight of the highest character should be exer- cised, and he thanked those who had shown such a wise appreciation of the ne- cessities in the case and worked #0 #s- siduously to meet them. A noteworthy ad- vanee had been made by the bringing of so many branches of learning into harmony that could not fail to have its effect upon the other higher institutions of learning, and the evidence of the harmonious rela- tions existing between all the schools was most gratifying. He laid stress upon the fact that today the laity. had taken its place by the side of the clergy, another hopeful sign, he said, of the bigh standard that had been ret in the courses of study required for degrees. Speaking of the fact that Catholic colle;es have long been able to prepare the brignt- est students at the higher universities, he said it was pleasant to know that the Catholics now have an institution in the university where such pup!ls could follow up their courses. He begged the graduates to remember that while they went into the various walks of life and the various duties they are university men. In calling attention to the alumni association which was formed scme time ago he urged ail to join it. Cardinal Gibbons spoke at length upon the intentions of the university and what it expected to accomplish, and laid particular stress upon the fact that every Catholic must needs be interested in its welfare and that there should be co-opera- tion among ail the members of the fait to help it in every way possible, At the conclusion of Cardinal Gibbons’ address the professors, students and a large number of invited guests repaired to the chapel in Divinity bullding, where there was benediction of the biessed sa rament by Cardinal Gibbons and the sing- ing of the Te Deum. At the conclusion of this ceremony Cardinal Gibbons held a re- ception in the parlors. FOR LIFE’S WORK. Diplomas to the Graduating Class of ens High School, in the history of the in- stitution was sent forth last evening from the Washington Business High School, with commencement exercises on a more elaborate scale than ever before attempt- ed. Since it branched forth from the Cen- tral High School six years ago, the Bu: ness school has held its annual commence- ments in the exhibition hall of the parent school on O street, but the class of "96 last evening bade farewell to alma mater before a large audience of parents and friends at Allén’s Grand Opera House. The stage was set as a conservatory, the scenic flowers being augmented by numbe less handsome bouquets and floral des: —intended for the graduates—banked di- rectiy in the rear of the footlights. Seven: ty-one chairs were arranged in two im- mense semi-circles, and there was a smaller row for the guests of the evening and the school officials. The boxes were decorated with the school colors, blue and yellow. The High School March. As the audience assembled the Marine Band Orchestra, under the direction of Professor Fanclulli, rendered a number of pleasing musical selections. Shortly after 8 o'clock, to the strains of the “Bu: High School March,” composed by I fessor Fanciulli, Mr. John W. Ross, presi- dent of the board of District Comnussio: ers, appeared upon the stage, followed Rev. Wallace Radcliffe, pastor of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church; Simon Wolf, Mr. W. B. Powell, superi tendent of public schools; Messrs. J. W. Whelpiey, Jesse B. Wilson and George H. Harries of the board of school trust Dr. Francis R. Lane, director of the H School, and Mr. Allan Davis, principal of the Business High School. Later in the evening Mr. Job Barnard, also of the board of school trustees, was noticed in the au- dience, and politely compelled to join his colleagues on the stage. The advance party was followed by the graduates, the young ladies entering from the right and the young men from the left. As the two lines moved so the seats the light dresses of the girls in contrast with the dark at- r Ross then introduced Rev. Wailace Radciiffe, who invoked divine blessing. Mr. Wolfs Address, Mr. Simon Wolf was then presented as the speaker of the evening. In opening his address Mr. Wolf referred to two great standing armies—one, that of continental Europe, which for the sake of peace, is constantly talking of war; the other, the brotherhood and sisterlo3d of American teachers. “Look at the picture,” continued Mr. Wolf, “and you will g idea of American and European civiliza- tion.” The public school sysiem was de- scribed as the bed rock of the repu' and the speaker went on to say that us | as the church keeps its hands off the public school syetem’ there will be no danger of its destruction. The Business High School was referred to by the speaker as an offshoot of the pub- lic Schools, but, he added, it nas er soil of its own. Among ‘other thing. declared that only in countries where wemen staml on an equality with men is the re- public safe, and then devoted a fet mo- ments to old glory, ursing patriotism, honesty and integrity, “first and foremost and all the time.” Mr. Wolf made complimentary references to Superi Powell and Principal Davis, an ing, declared that practical education, such as Is Supplied by the Business High Schooi, is the one that wins in the great struggle for existence. He expressed the hope that the kindergarten would be engraited as a permanency into the public school system, and spoke of the great good resulting from manual training. In closing Mr. Wolf referred to the pend- ing situation. “Here, this evening,” be said, “a Christian minister has invoked the blessing of God, because it is the righi of every American to think as he may choose; and on the same platform a Jew ia faith, but an American in spirit, is here to thank you and to speak of the interest you should take in the Business High School.” Diplomas Distributed.
