the University we are at the same
time establishing a center of Catholic
life from which new impulses and
new forces will go out continuously to
every part of the land and supply our
manifold needs. No form of Catholic
charity is more noble or more fruit
full than that which is given to edu-

where can the generous giver better
bestow his gifts than on an inst.tu-

to confer on all our people such last

as the Catholic University"

into the public eye by the events Of

law and science,-sub-d divided into de-
partments and enlisting the services
of a teaching staff of more than fifty
highly-trained specialists, many Of
whom enjoy a worldwide reputation.
This Pontifcal university, the only in
stitution of it's kind in the United
States, was founded in 1889 by Pope
Leo XIII and the Catholic Hierarchy
of the United States, as great CEN
tral seat of learning under the con-
troll of the Bishops of the United
States. 1t is Immediately governed by
a board of trustees made up of bish-
ops, priests and laymen who repre-
sent the American Catholic Church in
it's ownership and direction of the
University and, as previously mention
ed, Cardinal Gibbons has served for
years as the chief officer of admin
istration of the institution.
The site of the Catholic University
on a range of hills overlooking the
capital of the nation is a truly ideal
one, and the handsome and majestic
buildings scattered over the hills of
this park-like region have caused vis-
itors to .denominate the suburb of
Brookland the American Rome"
The site of the University is largely
included within the confines of a his
toric Colonial estate. Adjoining the old
habitation is Mac Mahon Hall, or as 1t
should properly be de-ignated the
Mac Mahon Hall of Philosophy.

Scorup's recollection some miles far

Little bridge, which is immense, but
seems small in comparison with the
other two.
They were able to scale the canyon

this at the other bridges because the
walls were too steep,-and they rode
across 1t.
These bridges are of the greatest

they are immense, but because they

Long visited these bridges in 1903.
and shortly after gave his account to

April, 1908, the President set aside the

mortal of which any primate in the
world might well be proud. 1t has
been provided by popular subscription
of the beloved churchman's admirers
in all parts of the country, and takes
the form Of a monumental building
at the Catholic University of America,
located in the outskirts of the national
