To our beloved son, James Cardinal Glib

chancellor Of the Catholic university at
apostolic benediction. The condition Of
the. university at Washington has enlisted
our deepest sympathy and concern, mas
much as the report recently submitted by
your eminence deposes that its affairs are
not altogether SO encouraging as we could
wish. It is meet that we should follow the
example Of our predecessor in the further
ance Of noble projects, more especially
such as are Of great moment and hold out
| the promise Of large advantage. In this
spirit we are pleased to continue, and as
far as may be to increase in the exercise
Of the apostolic office the interest which
we have ever cherished toward this dis
tinguished American foundation.
Wherefore we learn with genuine salts
faction that the bishops charged with the
approval Of all others interested In it's
welfare, that a collection be taken up in
all the churches turnout the United States

of Advent or the *f1erst convenient Sunday
thereafter, with a view Of enhancing the
dignity and enlargtng the influence Of this
noble seat of learning.
This plan, the result Of their joint de.
alterations, we consider most beneficial II

that all the bishops Of the country, as vel
