praised the record which the institution
made during the war. and eulogized the
quality Of Americanism which has been
brought about in this country among
those Of foreign birth.
Many nations are represented here"
said the Archbishop glancing at the list
of graduates. but they are just as
loyal Americans as may be found any
where in this country. And so in the
casualty lists during the war there were
many of those whose names we could
not pronounce. but who gladly made the
supreme sacrifice for the land of their
adoption.
"One evidence of the patriotism o.
this institution is its war record There
are at least one thousand of your grad
yates who were in the service of this
country, and at least thirteen of these
died for her"
Archbishop Dougherty concluded
with advice for the graduating class,
and made a strong appeal for total ab-
stinence, declaring that drink was the
greatest evil which faced the young man
of today.
