APPRECIATION
Paid st. Benedict's College
by a Non-CathOIic
Journal.

The Kentucky Irish American
would call attention of parents to St.
Benedict's Academy and the follow
ing appreciation from the Atchison
Globe:
St. Benedict's College in Atchison,
Kas.. is among the pioneer institu-
tions of higher learning in the State,
having had its beginning fifty-four
years ago at Doniphan. then regarded
as a promising Kansas town. But it
was soon apparent that Atchison was
to leave Doniphan behind, and the
college was moved here in 1859.
There wasn't great deal to move
at that time. But since coming here
the college has grown with the years,
and it is still growing. The admins
tration building is as good as skill
and money can make il, fireproof
throughout, and modern and sanitary
in every particular. This building,
however, is but one of eight new
buildings which the college contem-
plates erecting in the near future.
All told these building plans repre-
sent an outlay of upward of a mill
ion dollars and will give the school
additional room, which is about all
the college needs. The site is a
commanding bluff overlooking the
Missouri river as far as eye can see.
up and down, and a wonderful pan
Drama of fertile valley, wooded hill
and rolling prairie country which is
a scene to delight the eye of poet or
landscape Dainter, and which none
other can fittingly describe, and even
these must fall something short Of
the pleasing reality.
But st. Benedict's is entitled to
distinction for other things than the
honor which comes with the years,
or any praise born of beauty: The
Benedictine Fathers who conduct the
institution are educators in all the
word should imply. In the higher
branches, and probably throughout
the school are men whose education
has received finishing touches from
the greatest universities of America
and Europe. But the educator should
be something more than this and
more may be said for the Benedictine
instructors. st. Benedict's is a school
for boys and young men and it may
be said for the college authorities
that they have learned that subtle
something. more important than
knowledge to be learned from print
ed lore or laboratory experiment,
which makes men out OF boys. No
higher tribute need be paid to any
educational institution and we doubt
If higher could be found.
The advertisement of st. Bene-
diets College will be found in
another column.
