The Story of the University.
The Catholic University entered on the
eighth year Of it's academic life September
23 last. From 1889 to 1896 its educational
activities were confined to the School Of
Divinity. In which graduate courses in
theology were offered to advanced eccles-
iastical students, and from which have al
ready issued alumni whose learning ard
achievements attest the value of the train
ing there received. In 1898 the schools of
philosophy and the social science We're
phy mathematics, physics, chemistry, BIZ
ology, technology, sociology, economics, po-
liticai science and law good number of
young men, who had finished their col
ma a6 nd la f.,c
for the various higher degrees.
The Catholic University of America may
thus be said to nave fairly commenced its
work and to have taken the position of
a great central college or university in
which all arts and sciences will eventually
be taught.
The education plan on which the work
of the university has been modelled is
intended to afford the largest possible
number Of individuals the widest oppor-
tunity for self-deyelopment. The only test
and moral fitness to undertake them.
and it demands no other conditions for it's
degrees than the attainment of the high
scholarship which those degrees imply.
and subject to these tests men Of all class
es, races and religion are accepted as its
students.
Schools and Departments.
The work of the university is distributed
among the three schools OF divinity, phi
losophy and the social sciences and the
institute of technology. The School Of Di-
vinity is divided into four departments
the department of Biblical sciences, the
department of the dogmatic sciences, the
department of the moral sciences and the
department of the historical sciences. The
School of Philosophy is divided into six
departments-the department of philosophy
proper, the department Of letters. the de-
partment of mathematics, the department
of physics, the department of chemistry
and the department of biological sciences.
The School of the Social Sciences is di-
vded into four departments-the depart
ment Of sociology, the department of eco
nomics. the department of political science
and the department of law. The Institute
of Technology is divided into four depart
ments-the department Of applied mathe-
matics the department of civil engineering,
the department of electrical engineering
and the department of mechanical en-
gineering.
Each Of these departments Is under the
charge Of a professor with such associates
and assistant professors, instructors, lee
turers, ETC., may be found necessary.
The Caldwell hall of divinity has up TO
the present time furnished residence for
the faculty and students of the school of
divinity and for the immediate future will
be able to do so but for the students in the
schools of philosophy and social science
series of dormitories are contemplated, &c
OF which is in course of completion in the
park fronting Mcmahon hall.
The Buildings contemplated by the uni
versity will be eleven in number, not in
cluding dormitories. residences or sub
ordinate structures. The Caldwell hall of
divinity ard the Mcmahon hall of rhiloso-
ply are the only two so far completed, and
their massive magnif1cence gives an excel
lent idea of what the remaining nine build
II gs will be.
