Judge Burke's Address.
Judge Napoleon Charles Burke Of Mary
land, jurist Of note, and g.7 duate of a
Jesuit college, delivered the address to the
students. He said in part:
THE young men educated here are forti-
fed with the truths Of religion. and it Is
safe to say that not one Of them will ever
be found subscribing to the doctrines Of in
fidelity. Upon all the great and vital ques-
tions Of human life there Is not a small boy
who Is instructed in Institutions such as
the venerated Gonzaga who is not wiser
than the philosopher Of ancient Greece and
Rome. Their wisdom on these subjects, In
asmuch as they are educated in the truths
of God, is, indeed, far greater than the
combined wisdom of all the infidel philoso-
pliers from the beginning down to our own
dav.
I'm this grand country Of ours, where
all men have equal rights before the law,
and where the avenues for advancement are
open to all. there ought to be no such word
fail in the bright lexicon of youth. Some
one asked the great saint and sage st.
Thomas Aquinas, what was the best way
for young man to succeed. VIII it,. was
the saints response. So say I to all of
you, will 1t and you will succeed"
