DELIVERED BY REV II.
MoYNIHAN, PRESIDENT or THE
COLLEGE OF ST. THOMAS, AT
THE PUBLIC MEETING IN THE
AUDITORIUM ON WEDNESDAY,
EVENING, JUNE 80.

Rev. Humphrey Moynihan, presi-
dent of the College Of st. Thomas,
spoke on the Ideals OF Catholic Col
leges. He first dwelt on the ideal en-
bodied in their system of intellectual
training-an ideal of education, set
forth in the famous words of Cardinal
Newman: tThe object of education
is to remove the original dimness Of
the minds eye; to strengthen and per-
feet her vision; to enable the mind to
look out into the world right forward,
steadily and truly; to give the mind
clearness, accuracy, precision, to en-
able it to use words Alright; to under
stand what it says; to conceive justly
what it thinks" He then proceeded
to illustrate the spirit in which the
Catholic College carries on its work
of teaching. He said in part:
We live in an age which will be
known as the age of science, but
which by no stretch Of courtesy can
be called an age of reverence. You
know the naughty claims made in re-
cent years by many of the yotaries of
science Under the stern questioning
of science nature was to yield up all
it's secrets nothing was covered that
would not be revealed, nothing was
hidden that would not be known.
There was no depth she would not
sound, no height she would not scale.
Like the mythical youth of yore, she
would don her pinions and soar to the
highest heavens At her behest men
should believe that the sun looks out
of a vacant sky upon a world without
a SOUL The starry heavens above, and
the moral law within should, at least,
lose all their wonder. She would car
ry her searching torch into the in
most shrine of the universe and show
that it was bare of Presence. She
would compel us to give up the
mighty hopes that make us menthe
inmemorial hopes Of iaasnanfty The
day would come when she would pro-
claim that she had put out the lights
of heaven.
And truly, as Civilization beheld the
work of science and counted her
trophies, she marvelled that in the
compass of century more had been
achieved than in the course of many
cycles. AS she thought of the heavens
into which Abraham and his men
looked on the plains of Shinar, and
then mused on the long vistas of the
skies into which her favored sons
looked down, she gloried in the mas
sive achievement of the human mind.
And the conquest of space was but
one chapter in the story of her vic

tories on sea and sky and land. And
yet in the midst of all the glamor the
thought of the wounds these victories
had wrought gave her pause For
even as she was gazing fondly on the
glory of it all, she began slowly to
realize that the world on which she
was gazing was a disinherited, dis
enchanted world, a world that had
lost everything that gave significance
to life. The grand ideals of days of
old we're fading from the minds of
men; the grand words of days of old
were growing silent ON their lips. 1t
was a world where men pursued
things of earth with feverish haste
a world of selfishness which, despite
its veneer of enlightment, was not far
removed from the barbarism from
which it had sprung; a world of grow
ing coarseness where, alas, too many
caught no CLEAN in the words: He
that loseth his life shall find it, 1t
was a world of material progress and
spiritual impoverishment, and in the
midst of the exultant voices there was
a note that would not. be stilled-the
protest of the souls of men who cried
out for more than science could give
''rhe- world that seems
To lie before us like land of dreams,
So beautiful, so various, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor
light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for
pain,
And we are here as on a darkling
plain
Swept with confused alarms of strug-
gle and fight,
Where ignorant armies clash by
night
And in the midst of all the tumult
and turmoil of thought, the, Church
calmly went on lighting her Sanctuary
lamps, building her schools, and call
ing her youth around her.
To her little ones the Church could,
like her Divine Master, speak a Ian
guage that children understand. And
as they grew to manhood and woman
hood, and asked the questions that al
ways come with maturing mind, the
Church bade them think deeply and
they would think religiously. She ur-
rolled before their eyes the scroll of
history, the vast drama that had slow
" unfolded itself through the ages,
and showed how all history Is a COM
mentary on Gods dealings with men
and nations. She unrolled the scroll
of the heavens, and taught Astronomy
in the spirit Of the greatest student
of the skies who, as new worlds swan
within his ken, fell upon his knees,
crying out, 30 God, I am thinking Thy
thoughts after Thee" She unrolled
the scroll on which natures laws are
written-and showed that these
changeless harmonies of the universe
are the thoughts of One
ilssWhose dwelling is the light of set
ting suns,

dral of st. Paul was filled with
congregation which included not only
the delegates to the convention but
large number of our Catholic people
eager to show their interest in the
specific work of the Association. The
teaching Sisterhoods were conspicuous

| committees and the transaction of
general business the first paper of the
convention was read by the Rev.
Francis T. Moran, D. d., pastor of
st. Patricks Church, Cleveland, Ohio,
