SAYS HISTORY
OF IRELAND IS
GLORY OF RACE
PROFESSOR ROHAN DECLARES
COUNTRY is NOT A CONQUER
I'D NATION.

Professor Michael G.. Rohan. OF
Marquette University, won the un
divided attention of a large audience
at the college chapel last night, in
the delivery of a masterful address
on the history and people of the
Emerald Isle, and in his exposition
of many beautiful slides showing the
natural scenery of the country.
Sings Irish Songs.
Irish songs sung by Miss Elizabeth
Carroll, A Little Bit of Heaven, 20
which received an encore. and

Alice Monahan was accompanist.
Professor Rohan is the possessor
OF the proverbial Irish wit, and
not the least entertaining parts OF
his address were the flashes of humor

ars, famous for its hospitality OF
course, you all know it is a part OF
the British empire. but perhaps you
do not know that England is the
richest country of the empire, while
Ireland is the poorest Her vast

ries, and her inhabitants have only
one means of agriculture.
Farming Conditions Improved.
But farming conditions are now
improved, and with political free

Gently. Ireland, owing to the in
domitable martial spirit of her peo-
pie, is still a nation, for the reason
that her people have never lowered
the flag of Erin
The speaker declared that one Of
the great problems confronting
leaders of the country was restric-
ton of emigration. He pointed out
that the press and clergy had won a
fight for temperance, and were now
working TO raise the population Of
the country from four and one-hall
million to nine million
Nation Never Submitted.
The history Of Ireland Is the
glory of her race" said Professor
Rohar. Her people remember the
historic associations of the past, and
look forward hopefully to the future

still fighting and will continue to do
So"
Professor Rohan refutcd tho
charge that the move for Irish tfee-
dom was engineered solely by Cath
olics by giving the names OF men
prominent in Irish history who were
Protestants
Beautiful colored slides depicting
the artistic natural scenery OF tho
country were thrown on the screen
after Professor Rohan finished his
main address. Most Of the slides
were made from pictures taken by
the professor on numerous trips
thru the country.
Pictures OF historic and artistic
interest shown were those Of Irish
patriots; the vale Of Clara. county
