from the regular course. These special
arrangements are made for the accommo-

may not be able to complete the entire

EXceIs in Athletics.
From the time of its opening the in
stitution has been quite prominent in
collegiate athletics. A great many of its
students come from the farm and bring
to the institution great physical strength
and athletic ability. These staIwart
youths lave been martialed into football
teams, and many a fond hope entertained
in the enthusiastic breasts Of other col
leges in the state have been shattered
before the solid front presented by the
wearers of the purple and light gray.
These football teams have won glory for
the college and respect for her prowess
and has given her a place among the
colleges of Minnesota that is envied by
other institutions that are more preten-
tious in their claim.
But it is not on the gridron that St
Thomas has won her greatest honors
in athle.4c events. The great pride and
glory of the college is conferred in her
baseball team, which won the intercol-
legiate championship pennant for 1900
1901. This team proved wonder to the

matter agitated until in 1885 he was allie
to see his wish consummated.
SO great was his interest in the institu-
ton thatwhen he retired from the bishop
TIC and was succeeded by Archbishop
ireland, he moved to the college and re-
sided there until his death, which oc-
CURED few years ago His form was
one of the most familiar sights around
the college during the first few years of
its existence, as he was always busy
about the campus or buildings. He
seemed to take more pleasure in the col
lege than in any other fruit of his work
in the diocese.
The college of st. Thomas was opened
for the reception of students on Sept.
8, 1885. 1t was established because Of
the great growth of Catholicism in the
Northwest, which made it almost neces-
sary for the church to have a school
where its young men could be trained
IN the tenets of the faith and at the
same time receive the mental training
which they needed. AS soon as this need
became pressing, the location of the school
was secured and the institution opened
on the above date.
The school is strictly a church school,
although it does not make it absolutely
mandatory that a student shall be a
member Of the Catholic church It dces
however, require him to respect the re-
ligion of the institution, and he must
conduct himself according to its require
ments. 1t is conducted by diocesan
priests, and is directly under the control
and direction of the archbishop of St.
Paul
1t is under the supervision of what is
termed a college corporation composed Of
the Most Rev. John Ireland, D. D.; the
Very Rev. John Stariha, the Very Rev.
John f. Dolphin, Rev. James O'Reflly
and Rev. Ambrose McNulty These gen.
tlemen act as a board of directors, and
have entire control of the college,
The purpose of the college. according
to its catalogue, is Ito complete the in
Btruction received in grammar and high
schools, and to lay broad the Foundations
for higher education" 1t prepares
young men for theological seminarics,
schools of law, medicine and the like,
as well as for practical commercial
careers. The course of the college is so
arranged that the boy is trained in such
lines as will enable him to take Up that
profession which he most desires. The
success of this idea has been proved
many times in the few years which the
school has been in existence, for already
its graduates are in almost all the walks
of life. 1t is represented among the
clergy, medical profession, legal fields
and almost every branch of professional
life, and the high standing of its graiu-
ates is a credit to the institution.
Another purpose Of the college which

become proverbial saying among tho
students of the different colleges who
compete with the Saints" for honors in
athletics when game is due with them,
If we are beaten 1t will be by hClest
skill and superiority, for st. Thomas all
ways plays an honest game in which no
trickery forms a part" This is a record
in which the institution justly takes
pride.
Although the college is located midway
between the two cities where the oppor-
tunity to indulge in pleasures and enjoy
ments is great yet the students are not
allowed to visit the cities at night A rule
has been made by the faculty forbidding
the visiting Of the city after night ana
the rule is strictly enforced. 4 violation
of this rule results in prompt dismissal
from the school. Some time ago three
of the students thought they would go
to st. Paul and see how the place looked
under the electric lights. They returned
to the college at 100 o'clock and at 9
O'Clock the next morning they were on
their way to the depot to return to their
homes for violating a rule against which
they had been cautioned. To some this
discipline may seem a little severe, but
it is for the good Of both the students
and the institution. 1t is not the purpose
of the faculty to permit the students 10

finished the commercial course he is not
only a qualified commercial man, but he
is also trained in the essential elements
of a. common education. In addition to
teaching him the mere mechanical part
of a business education, he is polished
and fitted to fill that place in society
which his education is expected to give
him.
In addition to the courses mentioned
above, there are a number of special
courses open to the student who is I'M
able to take all the work Of any Of the
above. Special courses are offered in
bookkeeping, shorthand, typewriting, and
other branches which may be selected

Courses of Study.
The college offers three distinct courses
OF study. They are the classical, COM

the ground which they undertake, and a
diploma from the school stating that the
student has finished any one Of these
courses Is recognized wherever presented.
The work in each course is thorough
and once the student finishes it, he knows
just what he has taken up, for it is not
possible for him to get through unless he
has mastered his work

"nich Is intended to be the leading course
of the institution. The classical course
is practically divided into two depart
ments, the academic and collegiate. The
academic department is classical high
school, and prepares the student for rne

of four years, and one who has complet-
ed it will have no difficulty in entering
any OF the colleges or universities of the
land. 1t prepares the student for ad-

ancient and modern, gives the form of
expression: the study of philosophy and
science trains the mind to reflection, the
study Of history and religion stores the
ton; the study of mathematics induces
correctness and precision of thought. In
these and cognate studies consists the
classical course. This is the course of
study which affords the broadcast educa-
ton and culture; it is the course which
parents, if their means and circumstances
permit, should select fer their boys

of the college is the argument offered for
the classical course of the school:
Education means the drawing out of
all the latent faculties of man and the
putting In of that knowledge which is
power To this end the mind must be
stored with the momentous facts and ex-
periences of the past; it must be trained
to reflect upon them in order to derive
lessons therefrom; it must be polished
and refined to give expression to the les
son it learns. The study of the languages,
