stand the great buildings of the religious
orders who have located their houses of
study on the university grounds or in its
immediate vicinity in order that their
students may enjoy all the advantages of
the university teaching whether in the

have been established for this purpose

society of St. Paul the Apostle (the
Paulists), the fathers of the Holy Cross
congregation, from South Bend, Ind,
the Marist fathers, the fathers of the

Cardinal Gibbons is President, as he also
represents the Holy Father as Chan
cellor; seven Archbishops, six Bishops
and three laymen, who meet annually

matters pertaining to the university. The
administration of the institution is vested
in the hands of a rector and a vice rector,
who reside on the university grounds
and have the immediate care and man
agement under the trustees of the studies,
discipline and business dealings. There
is a corps of over twenty-five instructors

teacher of all truth, the salt of the earth
and the light of the world.
