Francis Xavier's College—Giving the Priges to the Junior Boys—Brilliant Commencement for the Seniors—The College Hall Crowded with Visitors—Oration and Song— ‘Archbishop MoCloskey Distribut- ing the Medals and Confer- ring the Degrees— Address to the Graduates. The twenty-third annual commencement of the College of St. Francis Xavier, West Fifteenth street, was held yesterday, prizes being distributed in the foreneon to the Junior students and in the evening the degrees being conferred and honors awarded to the Senior students. In an institution so well known as this and so dear to many thousands of its alumni an event of the sort is always of great in- terest, and is made the occasion of pleasant re- union. The growth of the College of St. Francis Xavier may be sald to be typical of the growth of the Empire City, and especially of the spread of Catbolicity in this community, for its present-posi- tion is simply the result of the advancement of re- ligion and of the prosperity of those who have at- tained wealth and influence in the never ending struggle of commercial We, “THE OLD ScHOOL. This college was originally organized in Septeni- ber, 1847, uader the title of the School of the Holy Name of Jesus, gnd was then located in the base- ment of the church éorner Of Walkgz gnd Eliza- beth streets, from which the schooi took its namé. Tt had not been many months in working order when the church was destroyed by fire, and the school was then moved to the basement of St. James’ church, where it remained for a short time, until, in the same year, the Jesuits rented the house 77 Third avenue, between Eleventh and Twelfth streets. For two years the institution continued to prosper here, and, meanwhile, the grounds in West Fifteenth street were purchased, On the 26th of November, 1850, a school house had been made ready in this new location, and the school of the Holy Name of Jesus was on tnat day transferred to its present home, under the title of the College of St. Francis Xavier. The College was chartered January 10, 1861, for five years, but on December 2, 1862, it received a permanent charter, entitling it to all the privileges of a University. For twenty- three years, therefore, the College of St. Francis Xavier has been THE LEADING CATHOLIO INSTITUTE of this city, and it can now count a long roll of its alumni among leading men of many of the States of the Union, but especially here in the metropo- Us, where ite children have sprung into high places and stations and continue their venera- tion .for alma mater with © increasing affection each returning commencement. The average number of students for many years past in the College is 600, of whom about thirteen are first year’s graduates and about ten sec- ond year’s, To br&mg the college up to this high position is a record which tho Jesuit Fathers may well congratulate them- selves upon in a city where the standard of education is so high; and the prosperity of the €ollege still further appears from those safeguards With which the school is surrounded, such as the St. Francis Xavier Sodality, an institution aiming to preserve the bond of fellowship among the alumni, and to still gather them together under the roof of the school as a place of relief and rest amid the many eares of busy lives. THE EXAMINATIONS this year opened on the 18th inst. and continued for eight days, the whole staff of professors peing divided into twelve boards of examiners, each stu- dent appearing before several of these boards in the various classes to which he belonged. After these searching tests as to the proficiency of the pupils it was found that only a very few were so far behindhand as to make it necessary either to remove them Jrom the Col- lege or to turn them back again to read for another year with the class immediately after them, a dis- grace which every boy knows how to dread. These examinations were concluded on Friday evening, nd vn Saturday the names of those who had won hovers #nd premiums were to be announced, On Saturay ruling @ special mass was celebrated at seven o'clock, in the Jesuit church on Six- teenth street, at which the 500 students attended, myae arched from the College in procession, uh Of professors also assisting within the sanctuary. At the communion of the mass the students approached the altar rails and each re- ceived the blessed sacrament, The ceremony of the mass being over, the students returned to the College, where, with their professors and teachers, they partook ofa sumptuous breakfast, after which they entered the Coilege hall and heard the an- nouncement of the names of the victors in the Juntor classes, Yesterday forenoon THE PRESENTATION OF THE PREMIUMS to the fortunate ones took place in the college hall in the presenc: of about two hundred iadies and gentlemen, who were, for the most part, rela- tives or friends of the schol ‘This exhibition 1s generally only attended by t! 6 immediate friends of the boys. The exhibition was interesting from the pride and joy of the youngsters as they came away laden with the F empoecd books and from the equal importance of the parents of the bright little victors. ‘The proceedings were varied by a discourse on “The Republic of Letters,” by Calisto J. Komero; on “A Nation’s Monumeut,” by John W. Haarem} on ‘National Song,” by Thomas Haggerty; on “Christian Heroism oy HughJ.
