CENTENARY OF FATHER sOBIN, FAMOUS CATHOLIC EDUCATOR.

The University of ,Nofre Dame at South Bend. Ind. one of the greatest 7f Roman Catholic educational insti- srtions in America. will celebrate to- lay the scentenaFy of the birth of it's founder and first presfd dent, Father. Edouard Sorin. It was in the French town of Laval-a name ever associat- sd with the great Canadian bishop who was a pioneer in the introduction 0f Christian learning into North Arnertca-that Father so1in was bors. on Feb. 6. 1s14. He was educated sn France. entered the service of the church. and in 1841 was sent to 1rganize a branch of the aCongregation sf the Holy Cross He labored long and well among the Indians of wes- tern Indiana, then a wilderness, and made many converts among the red- skins
 It was in 1842 that the Bishop of vineennes gave Father sorin tract of sa1ld on which to erect the rude school which was to become the University of Notre Dame. Father Sorin was it's first president, and his connection with the institution continued from its op- ening in 1s44 until his death in 1883. a period of nearly half a century Dur ing that time the pioneer educator saw the school grow into a college and the college into university which is the largest, and among the most i'm portant, of American Catholic univer- sites The institution is still con tfo1led by the Congregation of the Holy Cross It has a faculty of eighty i've and a student body of we'll over a thousand.
 While. Father Sorin's institution ranks among the greatest of Ameri- gan Catholic universities. it is far from being tile oldest. Georgetown University at Washington was the p.o- neer among existing Cath o1ic universI- ties of the Ehited States. having been 9Hnnded bys the Jessifts in 1TS9, and diartereds by Congress in 1915.

LITERARY JOURNALS.

e z 4s
 The first literary journal was the Journal des Savanta, for the pubiica- ton Of which a priviIegeswas granted to Mezeray on this date in 1863. Mezeray failed in his attempt to launch the periodical, and the project was taken up by Denis de SalIo, a learned counsellor of the parliament of Paris, who issued the first number in 1865. For editorial purposes de Sallo adopted the pen name Of Sieur q. HedouyiIle. The publication re- viewed the principal books published in Europe, and also touched on sci ence and theology. The criticisms of literary and theological works were not to the liking of either authors or clerics. and the publication was suppressed in short order. It was re- vived a year later by Abbe GaIlois. who edited it for nine years, and who was succeeded by Abbe de Ia, Roque. The Journal suspended during the French Revolution, and issued only c few numbers between 17s2 and 1s1s, when 1t was revived under the pat ronage of the government. For over a century it has been conducted by the French minister of public instruc- tion, assisted by a cabinet of leading literary men.
