of the world. The potent influence
of this great society of religious
workers has been felt century after

fourteen hundred years, we find
the Benedlctines still fourishing In
the cause of education. Not only In
foreign countries have they pros

atested by the numerous houses of
study established by them from the
Atlantic TO the Pacific. The state
of Oregon claims her Benedictino
settlement. About 40 miles south OF
Portland are the well-known insti-
tutions OF Mount Angel, and prom
inent among these is the Academy
and College conducted by the sis
ters OF the order in the interests of
girls and young women. IL Is not

school was opened, yet its progress
has been remarkable. a handsome

Marion county has the distinction
OF being the seat OF splendidly

Quoted by the Benedlctine order.
The buildings are modern and the
largest In the state. The location Is
elevated and healthful. Scholarship
In sciences. languages, music and the
arts are maintained at high stan

knowledge that the gentlemen COM
posing the faculty are imbued with
the very highest principles and ami
mated by n deep devotion TO learning
which makes an impression on the
character OF the students sent there
by the best families all over the
northwest.
Mount Angel college. conducted by

Location.
Mount Angel Academy and Col
lege, a boarding and day school for
girls and young ladies, is situated
two miles west of Mount Angel Col
lege and Seminary, 40 miles south
OF Portland and ID miles northeast
OF Salem. The campus, which con-
tains many acre, extends from the
town OF Mount Angel along the
Southern Pacific railroad. II Is
surrounded by fields, meadows.
groves, and orchards. Being in the
midst of a rich farming country,
students can here enjoy to the fullest
extent country air, country food, and
healthful outdoor amusements. Con
cerning its location, the words of q
well-known American educator MAJ
be literally applied to Mount
Angel Academy: "In the country we
enjoy cooling darkness for sleep;
comforting silence for work; need
full loneliness for self-development;
wholesome and varied dietary; we
save the time which would have to
be sacrificed to society; we escape
the temptation to the multitude OF
amusements that win the masses"
