Saint Mary's beacon., 1914-06-18


The commencement exercises at
Leonard Hall. held on Monday last,
was well up 70 the usual high stand
ard of excellence maintained al this
institution; and a large number of
friends of the college were greatly
pleased with the very creditable show
ing made by the students. The Band
OF st. Mary's Industrial School, Bal
timore, furnished music and the
ehoruses and declamations of the
students we're especially fine. The
stage was attractiyely decorated with
college pennants and draped with the
Rall colors. Ii was erected upon the
campus in front of the main building
and the shade afforded by the large
trees that hanked the approach TO the
school afforded ample shade.
Mr.. &. Henry Camalier and Mr.. C.
Combs Burch received diplomas.
The special feature of the occasion,
however, was undoubtedly the eloquent
and scholerly address to the graduates
delivered by the Rev. l.. Z. Conroy. of
Bryantown, Md. Father Conroy
showed how the history of St, Mary's
county forms part of the history OF
the great work of the Catholic Church.
her institutions and her sacred minis
ters in the social and educational up-
lift of mankind. The splendid history
of this county is "a witness to- the age
long work. and as so also the present.
The orator quoted notable educational
authorities Of our time to show how
justified is the contention of Catholics
FOR religious teaching in schools, in
order that an education in the full
meaning of the would-be realized: and
he showed how admirably such an
education, at once practical and ideal.
Is provided by the skilled teachers of
Leonard Hall, arguing briefly for the
future of our county. We expect to
reproduce Father Conroy's speech in
full in next weeks issue.
