Explaining the purpose of the Col- leze of Preachers, Bishop Freeman stated that it was not designed to com- pete in any way with theological schools or seminaries, but as a post- graduate school for men already or- dained in the ministry. The late s, one of the founders thedral, had such a college in mind. The institution will bo the first of its Kind on this conti- nent. “Evangelism,” said Bishop Freeman, “has always been one of the chief functions of a cathedral. ,The estab- lishment of the College of Preachers on a basis of far-reaching service promises not only to add greatly to the development of the art of preach- ing, but to enable the church to ful- fill much more effectively than in the past its duty of carrying the Gospel message beyond the confines of par- ishes and congregations to the mil- lions of Jpeople in this country who now stand outside any form of or- ganized Chris‘ianity.

To thiz end | the college is founded in the sure con- | fidence that the bulwark and sustain- | ing_strength of the Nation is in an abiding and unchanging practice of | the Christian religion. | “The college is designed to give to its | students a comprehensive and broadly Catholic vision of the history and unity | of the Christian Church since its in-| ception. It will lay unfailing empha- | sis on those central and eternal teach- | ings of the Master which secure to the | Christian ministry its power and use- fulness—through its sacramental office | in the priesthood; through its edifying | and inspirational office in the prophet- | hood, and through its comforting and | consoling office in the pastorhood.” The present objective of the nation- | wide campaign for Washington Cathe- dral is the raising of $6,300,000 needed | to complete the choir, crossing, north | and south transepts and north porch The apse and three crypt chapels are | now structurally complete, the mas-| sive foundations of the whole strue- ture have been laid, and work is well | advanced on the choir walls and the | piers of the crossing.
