Father McHugh's Address.
Father McHugh said in part:
There Ire before us seventeen
young men, each bearing in his hand
the token of the fact hat he has re-
ceived an education along those lines
that have been marked off by the
wisdom of the Roman Catholic
Church. that church which Is wise
by reason of her founder, Christ;
wise by reason of the Holy Spirit,
her guide; wise by reason of the CEN
turtles of experience which she has
garnered during her passage along
that road, which history sees be-
strewn with woeful misery and ir-
retrievable ruin.
These graduates now, In many re-
spects, IRE like unto some stanch
and sturdy ship, ready to plunge into
the roaring pillows or to breast the
shock and terror of the ocean storm.
In more respects, however, they are
like the seed just planted from which,
in time, we hope will grow a tower
ing tree. For we look to see them
stand before the world in all the
majesty of fearless stability, in all
the splendor of righteousness eDdur-
ance, in all the grandeur of fragrance
and fruitful life, as the very soul Of
virtue and the test of true manhood.
To-day for o is one happy day;
tomorrow 1 hope will be another, but
all our yesterdays are but torches to
