moral and spiritual vision a great blind
ness fell.
A university training which fails to instil
a noble discomfort" 70 make men rest
less with the restlessness OF conscious yet
undeveloped capacity, which has no charm
10 lure them on with subtle suggestion OF
the thoughts that shake mankind" fails
in its mission. A college degree will be
OF but little value TO its possessor, or the
world at large, II il means no more
ture, science or art. The higher
education should impress the s~tupendous
truth that i'm the eternal order Of things
the status of a human soul is as important
as the orbit of a sphere-that the harmony
Of the universe is no less invaded by the
dlscordant note Of mortal man, than by a
lull in the song OF the morning stars.
Memorial Services In Morning.
The celebration was started Monday
morning when memorial services were held
at St. Johns Collegiate church in honor
Of Edward Creighton and John A. Creigh-
ton, the services being opened by the eel
ebration of a pontifical mass Of requiem.
The church was draped in crepe, hanging
In streamers from the ceiling to the var
ious pillars The ~celebrant OF the mass
was Ri. Rev. Phillip ]. Garrigan Of the
diocese of Sioux City; assistant priest, Rt.
Rev. A. NJ. Colaneri; deacon. Rev. Patrick
A. McGovern; subdeacon, Rev. Daniel p.
Hartigan: master of ceremonies, Rev.
James w. Stenson.
Students of Creighton university filled
the church so that the public was only
admitted by invitation. Rev. William +.
Kinsella, S. j., delivered an eulogy upon
the life Of Count Creighton and his
brother. Edward Creighton. His text was,
He shall be like a tree which is planted
near the running waters, which shall bring
forth its fruit in due season."
cit would be fitting to say that II was
an act of thanksgiving to God that he
inspired Edward and John Creighton to
found an institution OF higher learning in
the western country, for their countrymen
who, like themselves, might not have an
opportunity to visit the older centers of
learning in the east" said Father Kinsella.
GOD was with them in their undertaking,
and gave them chances 20 accumulate
wealth that they might give IL to the in
| s%titution which was so dear to their hearts,
They built this institution on a sure foot
ing"
Father Kinsella closed by an appeal to
the young men attending the university
that they Nigh improve the opportunities
which these founders had placed in their
way, and said he hoped they would bene-
fit by the examples in the way of self
saorifice, devotion to their fellowmen and
general patriotism.
