lege. Father Foley is an able lecturer,
and his explanations and comments on
the views were most entertaining
Senator Thomas II. Carter, OF Mon
tana. who introduced Father Foley. spoke
of the foundation and history of Trinity
College and the object of the scholarship.
Until recently the Catholics Of this
country were denied the privilege Of an
institution of higher education for young
women" he said. Trinity College was
founded to ali this want, and Catholics
OF the country have responded nobly TO
its call
ITO me it is. indeed. surprising that
so many of our young women pass the
dIficult entrance examinations that are
required. Why. 1 do not believe there is
a man In the United States Senate who
could pass the examinations"

Father Foley began his lecture with a
series Of views of Belfast and thence
took his audience the length and breadth

holy we'll, its hills. glens. streams. and
lakes all were beautifully shown and in
