II welcome my release from
the offce of rector of the Univer-
sity with profound gratitude
Doth to Divine Providence and
to the Pope While I always re
garded it's duties as a labor of
loye, they had grown to be far
beyond my strength and abili-
ties, and the deliverence from
the burden is a response to
many prayers I was too loyal a
soldier to ask 20 be relieved. from
my post, no matter what It's
difficulties; but feeling that my
nine years Of strain and solici-
tude in the work had brought me
close to the end of my brain and
nerve powers. [ was fully ready
to welcome what has been done.
| shall now enjoy some months
of much needed rest on the Paci-
fc coast, leaving all plans for
the future to a later date.
"Of course no needs to be
assured that the action Of the
Holy Father is prompted not
only by personal kindness to-
wards myself, but also by ear>
nest solicitude for the best in~
terest of the University. He be-
lieves in rotation in Office as
all sensible men must. He knows
the evils of allowing any official.
and especially the head OF a uni
versity, to fossilize at his post,
and in this all must acknowledge
his wisdom. His enlightened
prudence and that of the trustees
who have to present the nomina-
lions, will be sure to select a rec
tor in every way fitted to guide
the work to fuller and fuller sue
cess. From the peaceful retire
ment which [ trust [ have somea
what earned, [ shall ever watch
its progress with undated inter-
est. And I appeal to all whom,
my .effoI is in behalf of the uni
versity have ever reached to re-
double their interest, their zeal,
their generosity, in this new
chapter of the uniyersity's ex-
istence and to make it what it by
right must oe, the crowning
glory of Christian education in
