predecessor. Cardinal Satolli was sent out

mission to the church in the United States
he was directed by our holy father to come
| to the university and make his home with
This we regarded as an honor. and, as
many In my hearing will remember, oul
| late beloved rector concentrated all the
| energy of his generous nature in doing ant
providing whatever might contribute II
the comfort and the happiness of Mgr
| Sa tolli His mission, as is very well known
| developed into the establishment of thu
| apostolic delegation while he was yet thu
| guest of the university, SO that in sens
| we may say the apostolic delegation wa!
| born in the university, and grew to the full
proportions of its high Office in members
| and governing powers before it moved in
| to it's present city home. And therefore
since the delegation began its life here
| since the first curia was held in this build
| ing, since the first acts of justice ant
| mercy of the apostolic delegation went on
| from these halls. has not the universit!
| special claims for ali time upon the in
| terest the friendship and the persona
| presence of the present and future occu
| pants of that high office? What the uni
| versity did for Mgr. Satoli was done iron
| a sense of reverence and respect for hi
| representative character and office. From
| the same motive we. will regard 1t as a.
| honor and q duty to extend the same cour
| tesies to your excellency iq the sam
| office"

and the sweets of science. So, under thei
