Georgetown University Exercises
Ushered in With Mass.

Commencement week of Georgetown
University was ushered In yesterday by a
solemn high mass in Dahlgren Chapel at

Hillhouse Buel. S. j., president of the uni
versity, celebrant; Rev. Charles B.
Macksey, S. j.. project of studies, deacon,
and Rev. Alphonsus ]. Donlan s. j., pro-
lessor of physics, sub-deacon. The bacca-
laureate sermon was delivered by Rev.
James Casey. S. j., professor of philosophy
at Loyole College. Baltimore. Md.
The law department will hold its com
Increment exercises in CASTOR Hall this
ey ening at o'clock Tomorrow evening at
the same hour and place the medical and
dental schools will have their exercises.
Wednesday at L Ga. M, at CASTOR Hall, the
graduate nurses of the Georgetown Univer-
sity Hospital Training School will receive
their diplomas.
The commencement of the college will be
held in CASTOR Hall, Thursday morning at
10 o'clock. President Roosevelt will attend
and probably will present the diplomas to
the graduates. The alumni association will
meet In CASTOR Hall at noon and will later
be entertained al dinner by the faculty OF
the college refectory.
Dahlgren Chapel was well filed Yesterday
at the religious services. The entire faculty
was seated within the sanctuary. Members
of the faculties of the law and other out
side departments of the university were
present. The graduating classes attended
in cap and gown. The graduate nurses
were attired In their usual hospital garb.
A number of ladies, friends of the students,
attended the divine service.
Father Casey gave parting advice to the
graduates. He desired to impress upon
them, he said, in starting out upon their
career the necessity of placing before them
selves high ideal. He bade them beware
of seeking mere pleasure as an ideal. The
ideals, unhappily followed by SO many, the
acquisition of wealth and attainment of
honor and fame were >decried by the
preacher. The true ideal, he said. was con-
tanned in Ecclesiastics xxxiii, %: in all
thy works, keep the -eminence
This pre-eminence Father Casey claimed,
was pointed out by Jesus Christ in the ser
mon on the mount, when he said: Seek
We first the kingdom of God and all things
will be added unto YOU" The IDEAL which
he desired each graduate to have before
him In life, howsoever successful the life
might be, as judged by the worlds stand
ard the preacher said, Is faith. by which
alone can be obtained that which is of all
things pre-eminent, the salvation of the
immortal soul Each ones destiny, he de-
clared was to be fashioned by his own
acts and he advised his hearers to treas
ure the gift of faith. This gift, Father
Casey warned the young men. was like
purity and could not be trified with, because
when lost 1t was lost irretrievably.
In conclusion Father Casey welcomed the
graduates to the lists of those waging the
battle of life and babe them God speed 10
success in It's truest sense.
