Join our good wishes to the rest 1t has

The cardinal said In responding to the
addresses that they should always be treas
ured up in the Baltimore Cathedral He
admired them for a double reason. First
because of their elegance of express
sion. and. second, because Of their
brevity. Where there is honor. he
said, there is burden, and of late
he had been almost wearied with atten-
tions. He could not refrain, though, as
tired as he was. to say something Of the
grand university whose representatives
were so cordially congratulating him.

tomac and serve as a beacon light on the
path of learning.
