an interest in the continued existence

have no doubt if the governing body OF
this college consisted of men having
the approval of the hierarchy of Ire
land, and was composed of a fair pro-
portion whose religious views were in
accordance with the vast majority of
the people. the results would Justify
such change, and such a condition of
