louisville, August II, 1911
Mr.. Robert T. Burke, Supreme First
Vice President, Young Mems Insti-
tute, Louisville.-Dear Sir: heartily
approve and recommend the Young
Mems Institute as a society for Cath
Ollie men. have been associated
with the institute almost from its
foundation, and have noted with
pleasure its growth and the good
work Il has accomplished. Among
the Catholic societies of the country
the institute ranks high, and has
become we'll and favorably known for
its good work.
'Tn these days the country is
honeycombed with societies of all
kinds-some indifferent, some bad
and some strictly forbidden to Cath
olics. This condition shows the
necessity of good Catholic societies
where young men may associate
themselves for mutual spiritual and
material benefits, and avoid the
danger of joining associations that
are suspicious or dangerous to faith
and morals. hope that the Young
Mems Institute, long ago estab-
lished in the State of Kentucky, may
grow In strength and number and
produce the good results for which
II was founded. Very respect ully
yours, d. o'Donaghue,
