| WIS niorHing. Inc uay was Deautlful and, as
Father Richards, the president of the college.
said, it seemed as if Providence had smiled
upon their efforts. ALI day yesterday and
this morning, up to the time of forming
the procession, clergymen, arohbishops bish-
ops and priests were arriving at the cole ge
from almost every state in the Union. As
many as could be accommodated were given
rooms in the college buildings, but many had
personal friends both in Georgetown and
Washington, with whom they chose to take up
| town, with true hospitality, opened their
houses for the reception of such as the college
could not provide for or as had not personal
friends whom they could visit
The Decorations.
Scattered over the front of the handsome
new building and in the corridors and large
exhibition hall are notices in latin. Greek and
the modern languages appropriate to the Joy
Gus occasion. These were prepared with great
care, and have excited warm admiration from
the talented and educated visitors who have
thronged the classic institution. Some of them
translated are as follows:
With pride in her ancestors and hope in her
progeny she hastens to her yearned for goal.
May the proves of the fathers 60 down I'M
diminished to the sons.
May it grow from more to more.
Great Is the mother in her sons, and she grows
not old.
Hail venerable mother,
Nursing mother of the wise.
Among all thou art the peer.
Thine age is our republics
Live! Wax strong, and conquer.
This ancient pile, which you see before you
crumbling with age. founded with all
solemnity in 1889 by Archbishop Carroll.
In the hall are portraits of such of the presi-
dents as could be obtained, arranged in the
order of their administration.
The Banners.
Rev. Father Barnum, s. J.. whose knowl edge
of heraldry is very extensive, and whose taste
In decoration would meet the approval of the
most fastidious, had charge in person of the
designing of the banners. His linguistic lore
was scattered broadcast on the many-colored
banners and bannerets.
From the belvidere Of the south tower hung
a magnificent ''vexillum crucis," thirty feet in
length; a deep red cross on white ground A
similar one hung majestically from the new
library. From the lofty clock-tower waved
two cross-charged banners, twenty feet long,
Down along the walls of this graceful tower
huttered many banner whose charges of the
cross botonne, the cross recercele and moline
would have delighted such enthusiastic hearts
as Sir John Ferne and Morgan.
On the right or the main entrance a
grand historical banner, giving the transition
periods of the college from its inception at
Calverton in 1910 to its present site in 1889. A
Russian quatrain, from Michlaeoff, greeted US

When cleaned the swords, the arts PROSTATE
Law;
When lived the arts, rust ate the swords away.
| Along the beautifully tiled and arched corri-
| doris hung polyglottal shields bidding friends
and strangers alike welcome from the XAIPE
| OF the blue Egean down to the fond welcome

| with seemingly black crazy-work. 1t was an
| Arabic inscription in Kufic character: ITO God
belongs dominion over the past and present"
A greeting from the modern Sanscrit drama
Cakuntala by kalidaca closed the words of
welcome: Hail to your lordships."
Flags and steamers of bunting are disposed
| in great profusion and with excellent taste and
| the preparations for the illumination tonight
are all completed.
