CHRISTIAN BROTHERS COLLEGE

RECORD.

The recent appointment of the Rt.
United States army and navy chap
lains, to the important post of Arch
bishop of New York, brings universal
joy to the clergy and laity of that
immense diocese. To none, however,
does it give more lively sense of sat
isfaction than to the Christian Broth
ers of New York, and in particular,
to the faculty Of their highest institu.
ton of learning in that city, Manhat-
tan College. For a strange coinci-
dence marks the elevation of Bishop
Hayes to the Archiepiscopal dignity,
inasmuch as three episcopal graduates
of Manhattan of three successive
years have been raised within short
space of time to the rank of Arch
bishop and now rule over three of the
most important dioceses in America
These are, besides Archbishop
Hayes, the Most Rev. Austin A. Dow
ling, Archbishop of st. Paul, and the
Most Rev. George w. Mundelein
Archbishop of Chicago. These three
prelates received almost their entire
early training in the Brothers
schools, and are today not only close
comrades of college days, but also
staunch friends of the Brothers anC
loyal alumni of their old Alma Mater
