Events Pertaining to Open

The formal opening of the st. Paul
seminary attracts much attention in
educational circles. The apostolic
delegate and a large party are COM
ing from Washington expressly for
the occasion. Mgr. Satolli and the
dignitaries who accompany him are
now en- route over the lakes on the
steamer Northwest, and will reach
St Paul by special car from Duluth
on Tuesday morning. Many mem
bers of the hierarchy have signified
their intention to be present, besides
several heads of colleges, and
large number of clergy from far and
near. The religious ceremonies will
take place on Wednesday morning
at 10 o'clock. Mgr. SatolH will pom
tificate at the high mass which will
be celebrated in the open air. The
music will be rendered by a choir
of 100 voices, accompanied by an Or
chestra. DR.. o. German, professor
of history at the Catholic university,
of Washington, will preach the inau-
gural discourse. After the mass the
will be performed by the apostolic
delegate.
During the day the grounds and
buildings will be open to all visit
ors-a privilege that will doubtless
be enjoyed by many people, for
whose convenience cars will be run
two and a half minutes apart dur
ing most of the day on Grand ave-
nue.. Many people will doubtless
take advantage of the occasion to
picnic in the groves. Light refresh
mentS will also be served by the
seminary on its grounds. The sur
roundings of the st. Paul seminary
are we'll worthy of visit Indeed
it is safe to say that few seats of
learning in America can boast so
beautiful a site. The tangled groves
which, but a year or two ago, were
the favorite haunt Of picnic parties,
have been transformed into stately
college grounds, with many a charm
ing vista, and the artistic group of
red buildings which surround the
green sward of the campus forms a
pretty picture framed in the rich
green foliage of the woods. The
severe simplicity of the various resi-
dences, the gymnasium, dining hall,
ETC., is admirably in keeping with the
scenery, as also with the general OBJ
ject Of the institution.
The evening exercises, which are in
tended to be a tribute to ]. j. Hill, to
NH a,al
crosby the new seminary is an enduring
monument, will take place in the SEM
mary hall at 7:30 p. m. AS the number
of visitors must necessarily be limited,
special invitations have been issued
for the occasion. The entertainment
will be chiefly literary and musical
Besides the Latin grafton and the
English addresses and the dedicatory
ode by members of the faculty, dis
courses will be delivered by Mgr. Sa-
TOLL, ]. ]. Hill, Archbishop Ireland,
Bishop Keane, of the Catholic univer-
sity, and other eminent men.
The Inauguration of the st. Paul
seminary promises to be in accordance
with the Importance Of the occasion.
The new institution can look forward
to a career of great and wide useful
ness. 1t will be admirably equipped
for the religious and scientific educa-
ton Of the young men who in growing
numbers will necessarily seek Its walls
year after year. A prominent feature
of it will be the science laboratories
which the clergy of the diocese have
recently presented and which are now
in course Of completion. It will thus
be in a. position to give not only the
full course of instruction in philoso-
ply, theology, Scripture, ecclesiastical
history, canon law, ETC.. which is pc
culiar to the ministry, but also an ex-
tended course in chemistry, physics.
biology, physiology, psychology and the
other branches which form the staple
of the scientific curriculum Of the uni
versities. ------------
]. ]. Hill has not only rendered I'M
mense service to the cause of educa-
ton, but has also conferred an honor
on the city of st. Paul and a great
boon on the community at large, by
founding an institution which is unique
in many respects, and which is evil

fluence for good on the whole North
