for baseball football and other sports The
various buildings of the college have been
constructed at widely different times and Of
different materials, and the effect, although
exceedingly picturesque, is not altogether
artistic But the new building, which is
nearly completed and which connects the
two rows of buildings that formerly consti-
tuted the university, amply atones for the
artistic shortcomings of the Old structures.
1t is a noble ediice, considerably over 800
feet in length and of ornate and imposing
architecture 1t includes a richly designed
library and spacious chapel. The college
library consists of 5000 precious books and
manuscripts some of the latter being 500
years old. The new building will be ready
for occupancy in few months.
Georgetown college is the Oldest and most
important Roman Catholic university in the
Unite States. Many men who have become
famous as statesmen, jurists and writers
were educated within its walls 1t is Jesuit
institution, but one-third of the pupils are Of
the Protestant faith 1t consists of a clas-
steal, medical and law department. The
classical department has a senior division
corresponding to the ordinary college course),
divided into four classes; a junior division,
divided into two classes, and a preparatory
department, with two classes; the whole COW
ering seven years.
There is also postgraduate class of two
years The faculty consists of the president
and twenty instructors all of them Jesuits
The number of students is generally about
200. The medical department was organized
in 1851, and a school of pharmacy has re-
Gently been attached in connection with it, in
which diplomas are given for proficiency.
The law department was established in 1910.
These departments, however, are in Wash
ington, and are distinct from the general
organization of the college. Near the college
is a convent of Visitation nuns, founded in
1893, attached to which is female academy,
in which are educated many of the daughters
of the old Washington families.
