Foreword At the meeting of the Alumni of St. Joseph's Seminary, Dun woodie, held last year, it was with genuine satisfaction we learned that a history of the seminary was in preparation, with a view to commemorate the twenty-fifth year of its foundation. The prom ise has been fulfilled, and in the following pages we have very dearly, concisely and simply told the story of the beginning, the growth, the work, and the results of a far-famed school of levitical study and piety. The record is unfolded without the slightest attempt to color by language or to bolster by argument the sequence of events. It is, therefore, a complete chronicle, and as accurate as it was possible to make it by research and verification. Rev. Arthur J. Scanlan, D.D., merits our sincere appreciation for the painstak ing, intelligent and sympathetic service he has rendered the diocese, its seminary and its friends, in the compilation of this welcome publication. In the first place, it was very important, from the point of historic value, to put in permanent form the data herein gathered. Failure to do it at the present moment might easily cause the irre parable loss, later on, of material now at hand. Nyack, Lafarge- ville, Fordham, Troy, with their memories of the past, are happily presented and preserved in connection with Dunwoodie's history. Again well may we look to the edification and the inspiration the clergy and the faithful will derive from reading of the hopes, the sacrifices, the perseverance, the ideals of those who have gone before us, to enrich the Church in New York with its own seminary, so that the sanctuary might be graced and the altar be ministered by the flower of New York's own youth, learned in the ways of Christ and divinely commissioned by the imposition of hands to preach His gospel and to break the Heavenly Bread of Life. It is a fact, sad as well as glorious, in the history of the Church, that the priesthood is what the people make it by their sacrifices. Where the faithful care little and sacrifice nothing for the sanctu ary and the cloister, priestly and religious vocations are lamentably wanting. Our wonderful people have done mighty things for God — and not the least, yea, perhaps, one of the most important, is the high type of priest their prayers and their support of the seminary have been instrumental in presenting to New York. X FOREWORD My fervent prayer is that clergy and faithful may not lose the traditional interest of our forebears, natural and spiritual, in our seminary, but rather watch with jealous eye and strengthen with every power the nursery of our priesthood. May this volume serve to give greater glory to God, larger spiritual power to the seminary, and stronger supernatural vision to the clergy ! ^ Patrick J. Hayes, D.D., Archbishop of New York. Feast of St. Joseph, 1922. Preface The twenty-fifth anniversary of the opening of St. Joseph's Sem inary furnishes an opportunity of rendering an account of perhaps the most important stewardship in the archdiocese of New York. As the late Cardinal Farley stated in his sermon at the consecration of the Dunwoodie chapel: "It is the most important work ever undertaken in the cause of Faith and learning." The laity, whose generosity and love of their priesthood have made the seminary possible by their contribution of over a million dollars to build it, and their yearly contributions since its erection to mantain it will be interested to know what has been accomplished. The clergy, without whose inspiration and assistance Dunwoodie would exist only in a dream, will rejoice that the seed which they helped to plant and nourish has grown in the twenty-five years into a sturdy oak. The Alumni, who have had the benefits of studying within its halls and praying in its devotional chapel, will read with profit the story of the deeds of Alma Mater. The Catholic Church in the United States will regard with triumph the record of growth and future hope which the story of Dunwoodie will bring home to them. Finally, from around the throne of God those who sacrificed so much for the establishment and development of Dunwoodie, the founder, Archbishop Corrigan; the staunch leader, Cardinal Far ley; the priests and laity of other days, will look down with pride on the glory that has come to God and His Church. Preceding the history of Dunwoodie is an account of each of its predecessors in the New York diocese. This will serve to preserve in one book most valuable historical data and at the same time bring before the reader the services rendered by the earlier seminaries. To look back beyond the history of Dunwoodie to the early seminaries which made Dunwoodie possible is to read a story of sacrifice, of disappointment, of courage and of triumph that is both instructive and inspiring. As early as 1816 Bishop Connolly in the report of the condition of his diocese to the Cardinal Prefect of the Propaganda declared that "his greatest regret was his in ability to establish a seminary for the education of a native clergy." Bishop Dubois, the next Bishop of New York, received from the Holy Father the first money to establish a seminary, and having collected some additional resources in Europe he built the first seminary at Nyack. Its total loss by fire only inspired him to xi xii PREFACE open another seminary at Lafargeville which was closed after two years. As its superior said: "We might be compared to a big stage coach drawn by four horses and containing no passengers." This failure served only to inspire Archbishop Hughes to start a new seminary at Fordham which in turn had to be closed on account of the Civil War. Again another beginning was made, this time at Troy under Cardinal McCloskey, which in turn gave way to the new and flourishing St. Joseph's at Dunwoodie. The history of the early days in the establishment of a seminary in the diocese of New York is a story indeed of sacrifice and disappoint ments, of love and of courage, and of triumph and blessing. The lesson of triumph recorded in these pages will serve as a sweet con solation and inspiration to emulate the great deeds of our fore fathers. Bishops, priests and people, in their love and loyalty to the seminary. Twenty-five years of existence should furnish an adequate test as to the service of an institution and this silver jubilee year serves to bring out the fact that Dunwoodie has fully measured up to the very high hopes and expectations entertained at her beginning. That these hopes were indeed most sanguine is evident from the the following excerpts : In his address at the blessing at the corner stone on May 17, 1891, Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia, said: "Oh, what a fu ture this seminary will have. Hundreds and thousands of young men in the very morning of life, in the springtide of existence, shall leave the great city yonder, leave home, love and human ambition and entering into the chapel the future heart of the great institution shall cry out in the inspired enthusiasm of their vocation, 'We shall go into the altar of God, to God who rejoiceth our youth. Send forth thy light and thy truth, they have led us and brought us to thy holy hill and into thy tabernacles !" After years of solitude, prayer and study they shall go forth as the Apostles of Jesus Christ went, on this Pentecost day and entering again into the great city they shall proclaim in words of fire, the holy truths that once con verted the world and which alone shall preserve it from moral destruction. Back to this great retreat shall they come from time to time to renew the spirit of their exalted vocation and to go forth thus renewed, to continue their great work. For the non-Catholic and eyen for the non-believer in Christianity itself, this occasion is not without interest." Five years later at the dedication of the chapel on August 2, 1896, Bishop Farley in his sermon expressed the same lofty expec tations as he prayed that the Holy Spirit may diffuse upon the souls PREFACE xiii of the young levites, soon and for all time to come to fill these noble halls. "His light and His grace; that as generation after generation of young priests go forth from these sacred precincts, they may bear away with them the fullness of His wisdom and understanding and counsel, and gratitude and knowledge and piety and fear of the Lord. That they may go and bring forth fruit, and that this fruit remain to the honor and glory of God, to the salvation of souls, and to the lifting of this, our beloved country to still higher planes of truth and honor and national prosperity." At the dedication dinner. Bishop Gabriels in his address ex pressed the wish that Dunwoodie's services would be perpetual. *T wish to the successor of Troy, the new seminary of New York, a happiness which the former did not enjoy. It lasted only the space of one generation of priests. May this new seminary last for generations and generations. I say, therefore, with all my heart to the new St. Joseph's, 'Esto Perpetua.' " The records show that the fondest expectations of the thousands who stood on Valentine Hill twenty-five years ago have been ful filled. Twelve hundred and eighteen seminarians have studied within those walls. Seven hundred and nine went forth as God's consecrated priests to offer the sacrifice of the Mass, to preach and be dispensers of the sacraments. There are two hundred and sixty- eight seminarians in classes now (1921) at Dunwoodie preparing to follow in their footsteps. Forty-nine dioceses outside of New York have had students to the number of two hundred and seven teen prepared for the priesthood. Seven religious communities have received seminarians who have started at Dunwoodie. To the foreign mission of China and our own missions in the Philip pine Islands and Porto Rico as well as the needy dioceses of the West and South have the alumni of Dunwoodie gone forth in answer to the Master's call : "The harvest is indeed great but the laborers are few." ¦ The dedication ceremonies at Dunwoodie were started by the blessing of a flag which was unfurled to the breeze from a large white flag pole in front of the building. Dunwoodie was dedicated to the service of God and country and her record of patriotism is one to be proud of. Dunwoodie's leader, Archbishop Patrick J. Hayes, is the Chaplain Bishop of the American Army and Navy ; the rector, Monsignor Chidwick, is the hero of the battleship Maine; eighty-eight priests ordained from Dunwoodie served as chaplains in the late war, of whom two received the Distinguished xiv PREFACE Service Cross, Chaplains Francis P. Duffy of the Sixty-ninth and John J. Brady of the Marines. In the educational field Dunwoodie has indeed rendered import ant services. Teachers, authors, lecturers and school superintend ents are to be found among the Alumni. Twenty-four former students have been professors at Dunwoodie and practically all of the clerical members of Cathedral College are alumni. The Catho lic University, Fordham University, the Colleges of Mount Saint Vincent and New Rochelle, the Institute of Scientific Study and St. Joseph's Mountain School, have among their faculties profes sors who made their seminary courses at Dunwoodie. The "Homiletic Monthly" was edited from Dunwoodie, while the books and articles written by the members of the faculty and alumni indicate that Dunwoodie has indeed filled its part for the cause of education. Catholic charities have profited by the knowledge and love for the poor imbibed during the seminary course. Under the leader ship of Archbishop Hayes, "the Bishop of the Poor," the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York was organized in 1920, the entire clerical staff of which studied at Dunwoodie. The Department of Correction was founded by the Rev. Thomas Lynch of the faculty of Dunwoodie and its staff is composed of alumni. The seminary is represented in every field of true social service whether for Church or State. In ecclesiastical offices Dunwoodie has given its quota of service. Numbered among the alumni are five vicars general, three Papal chamberlains, seven secretaries to bishops, four diocesan con- suitors, three chancellors, chaplains of Letter Carriers, Police and Fire Departments, examiners of the clergy, censors of books, members of the Matrimonial Curia and Diocesan School Boards. These diversified and responsible ecclesiastical positions have been filled with credit by the alumni. In the mission field the seminary has occupied a position in which it takes a justifiable pride. Since the days of Bishop Cusack and Dr. Guinan the New York Apostolate has been composed of those who studied at Dunwoodie. That they have kept up the very high standard set by the pioneers in the work is a fact worthy of the highest praise. The converts made, the knowledge and love of God imparted, the sacraments administered and the work accom plished in New York and other dioceses serves to show that the seed of the missionary spirit was planted and nourished at Dun woodie. PREFACE XV "All that the hundred thousand persons who came here twenty- five years ago looked for and hoped for had been realized," said Cardinal Farley at the blessing of the statue of "Christ, the light of the World," on September 27, 1915. "The vast building is now too small to provide for the number of vocations from our own diocese. Archbishop Corrigan builded well but there remains more to be done. This seminary now accommodates two hundred and fifty theologians and philosophers, twice as many as when it was first opened, with a faculty of which any bishop might well be proud ; a faculty almost to a man raised up within these walls and sent from here to the University at Washington or to the American College at Rome ; a faculty of fourteen professors living together in the greatest harmony, so much so that it is my great pleasure to come here to spend a night with them. I do not believe there is another diocese where so many vocations to the holy priesthood are found as in New York. For this I thank God and I thank my predecessor, for his love of education made it easy for those who come after him. You students who are here to be made 'other Christs' you are to be the 'Light of the World.' It is for you to spread that light to the souls sitting in darkness, to enlighten their minds, to sanctify their souls and to lead them to God." In the compilation of this work grateful acknowledgment is made to the members of the alumni and student body who gave so generously of their time and services. All have regarded the work as a well deserved labor of love for the Alma Mater in whose cloistered halls they prayed and studied and received the Sacred Orders which led to the priesthood of Christ. ST. JOSEPH'S SEMINARY Dunwoodie, New York CHAPTER I Seminaries Purpose and Training of the Seminary The use of the term seminary in its modern sense is found for the first time in the regulations which Cardinal Pole drew up for schools exclusively devoted to the training of the clergy. The word is also applied to young ladies' academies, and in its abbreviated form of "seminar" is used to denote a group of students doing special work. The terms "novitiate" and "scholasticate" are used for the training of novices for religious orders, while in Germany the term Konvictus denotes a group of ecclesiastical students who study at State universities. Seminaries are divided into diocesan, interdiocesan, provincial, national and pontifical, depending on the controlling power and the territory served. A theological seminary includes both theology and philosophy, while a preparatory seminary gives high school and collegiate course. In practice, in the United States the con troversy concerning the relative merits of central and diocesan sem inaries is settled by the fact that many dioceses cannot support a seminary. Instead of interdiocesan seminaries we have many that are founded and controlled by one bishop but which until they become filled to capacity receive students from other dioceses. Re ligious Orders also receive students for the various dioceses throughout the country at some of their seminaries. The priest is "another Christ" and his training is to center 2 SEMINARIES around the life and doctrine and spirit of Christ. As Christ's representative, he is to go about doing good, administering the sacraments, preaching, offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and attracting all to Christ by the holiness of his life. His traimng differs from that of the professional man, inasmuch as he must acquire not only a liberal and professional education suited to his vocation, but also a character and habits which make him the "salt of the earth" and the "light of the world." The two-fold aim, then, of the seminary is to train the cleric in what a priest ought to know and what he ought to be, "another Christ" in deed and in truth. A young man who gives indication of a vocation to the priest hood and who has finished his classical education is admitted to the seminary. Here the spiritual life comes first, retreats, medi tations, visits to the Blessed Sacrament, reception of the sacra ments, conferences, exercises of piety, advancement through Minor and Major Orders, all these are so many means to lead him to the goal. The intellectual life is formed by the daily classes, private study, examinations and practical training. The physical life is also taken care of, and one day of each week is set aside as a holiday for walks and games. Christmas and Easter bring the short vacations, while the long summer vacation gives the sem inarian a much needed rest and prepares him physically for the new scholastic year. The working day begins at five-thirty with mediation. Mass and Communion. After breakfast there are two classes and two hours of private study. In the afternoon there are two more classes in terspersed with recreation, recitation of the rosary and study pe riods. In the evening there is spiritual reading and a visit to the Blessed Sacrament. Night prayers conclude the day and lights are extinguished at ten o'clock. Three hours of the day are devoted to formal exercises of piety ; four to class ; three to recreation, and five to study. This is the routine for six years and the training and education received in this spiritual atmosphere tend to equip the future priest to go forth into the vineyard of the Lord and save thousands of souls for the Master. Development of the Seminary In the early ages of the Church the future priests were trained by assisting the Bishop and his priests in the duties of the Church services. In time they received the various Minor and Major Orders which permitted them to take care of the church, read the scriptures, prepare catechumens, baptize, preach and administer SEMINARIES 3 Holy Communion. In the sixth century we find that this method was superseded by the cathedral schools in which the young clerics secured their training by living in the house and under the eye of the Bishop. Attached to many religious houses were the monastic schools, where were associated not only their own subjects but also those from neighboring dioceses. The medieval universities were the outcome of these episcopal and monastic schools. The ablest teachers occupied chairs in a few of the principal cites and taught ecclesiastical as well as lay students from all over the world. The result was that of a double-edged sword; on the one hand, the smaller schools fell into disrepute, and on the other, those who went to the great universities received but little priestly training, since the formation of character was often sacrified to intellectual development. The need of a well-trained clergy has been so clearly emphasized at the Reformation that the Council of Trent solemnly proclaimed what has since been the teaching of the Church on the foundation of priestly characters. The decree may be summed up in the following points: (1) Every diocese is bound to support and train in an ecclesias tical college youths desirous of studying for the priesthood. But if a diocese is too poor, it may combine with larger dioceses for this purpose. (2) In these institutions are to be received boys who are at least twelve years of age and who by their living and character give promise of persevering; but the children of the poor are to be preferred. (3) Besides practical knowledge, practical instructions in preach ing and administering of the sacraments are to be given. ' (4) Seminarians are to be supported by a tax on the income of the parishes. (5) Two commissions of priests, one for the spiritual and one for temporal matters, are to assist in the government of the sem inary. So necessary were these decrees that the establishing of the seminaries has always been looked upon as the most important work of the Council and the good accomplished a sufficient reward for its labors. The establishment of the Roman Seminary which for more than three centuries was the nursery of priests, bishops, cardinals and popes ; the rules of St. Charles, which have been the inspiration for all foundations of seminaries, and the tenacity with which the clergy and laity have fought for their seminaries against 4 SEMINARIES attempts to secularize them, are the indications that the teachings of the Council of Trent have found a responsive chord in the hearts of the faithful. In addition to the legislation of the Council of Trent we find that the last three Popes, Leo XIIL, Pius X., and Benedict XV., have issued many documents dealing with the smallest details of seminaries. The new Canon Law has laid down specific rules for the guidance and government of the seminary ; and the Second and Third Plenary Councils of Baltimore enacted special regulations for the United States. Among these regulations are: that the aspirant for the priesthood pass six years in a theological seminary under ecclesiastical training; that when possible, preparatory sem inaries be established and that no one be received who has been expelled from another seminary. For the intellectual development, two years are to be devoted to the study of philosophy and four years to theology and Sacred Scripture, history' and canon law. Ecclesiastical studies are to be in harmony with the needs of the day, but free from novelties and modernistic tendencies. For the moral and spiritual training the words of the Encyclical of Pius X : "that the Bishop's first care, to which every other must yield, ought to be to form Christ in those who are to form Christ in others," indicate that the spiritual is not to give way to the intel lectual. Priestly virtues are to be learned from the faculty who should be "conspicuous for ability, learning, piety and seriousness of life." Among the other means of forming priestly character are the observance of seminary discipline and rules, the spiritual con ferences, the retreats, and above all the reception of Christ whom the future priests hope to represent, whose doctrine they hope to preach and whose standard they hope to carry to victory. It was that great bishop of the Church, Bishop Hefele, who uttered the words to which all give assent : "If the Catholic world has had for the last three hundred years a more learned, a more moral, and a more pious clergy than that which existed in almost every country in the times of the so-called Reformation, and whose tepidity and faithlessness contributes largely to the growth of the schism, it is due wholly to the decree of the Council of Trent and to it we in this age owe our thanks." Seminaries in the United States The first seminary to be established in America was St. Mary's, Baltimore, in 1791. Bishop John Carroll secured a sum of money from a friend to begin operations and four Sulpicians, with Father Nagot as superior, constituted the first faculty. It was soon found SEMINARIES 5 that lay students and even Protestants had to be admitted to the classes because of the lack of theological students. This situation continued until 1852, when the seminary began to flourish. In 1808, St. Mary's Seminiary at Emmitsburg was founded as the second seminary in the United States by Father Dubois, after ward Bishop of New York, and it still combines both college and seminary departments. The first duty of a bishop in those days was to go to Europe to secure priests and his next to establish a seminary to train a native clergy. In many cases the bishop's house was the seminary and the bishop, aided by the senior stu dents, did the teaching. It was simply repeating the method of training priests which was used in the early Church and, while the intellectual development may not have been of the most thorough kind, some compensation was obtained by the fact that character was moulded by the bishop who knew the needs of his diocese and of each one of his seminarians. The Philadelphia seminary, started in the house of Bishop Kenrick with five sem inarians, has developed into the great Seminary of St. Charles at Overbrook. Boston's splendid Brighton foundation traces its origin to the similar zeal of the illustrious Cheverus. It was in a wooden building attached to the bishop's house that the present Seminary of St. Francis, Milwaukee, started with but seven students. Many small seminaries were affiliated with larger in stitutions, but none had to close for lack of students, as the seminaries of the United States have never been able to keep apace witli the ever increasing number of vocations. As a result many bishops sent their seminarians to European and Canadian seminaries. In recent years many of the dioceses have opened preparatory seminaries, which tend to develop into large theological institutions. There are thirty-nine seminaries in the United States. Of this number twenty-one are theological, four theological preparatory and fourteen are preparatory. Of the preparatory seminaries six are boarding and eight are day schools. Of the total number of thirty-nine seminaries, secular priests have charge of twenty-four; the Benedictines five, the Sulpicians four, the Vincentians four, the Franciscans one, and the Jesuits one.

This would give an average of one seminary for every 16,000 of our Catholic population and one ecclesiastical student for every two thousand Catholic persons. Taking into consid eration the fact that ten years are required to complete the course in the preparatory and theological seminary and that a fair esti mate of those who persevere during these ten years is one-half to one-third, then between three hundred and four hundred newly ordained priests are added to the priestly ranks each year from our American seminaries. According to the "Catholic Directory" for 1921 the number of priests who died during the year was 348, while 800 additional priests were added to the lists. It is evident that about one-half of our priests are supplied from other coun tries. George Barnard, of the Catholic Extension, in a plea for more seminaries and more vocations writes : "America must steel SEMINARIES 7 herself to the burden of producing clergy adequate to all her needs. It is greatly to be feared that the foreign clergy will not come to America in the same numbers as formerly. Moreover, 5,790 churches without resident priests is too many. We have to face the problem of producing eight hundred priests a year to maintain our present position, or a thousand or so if we are to make real progress. Whether or not the seminary accommo dation is adequate is a problem, but I fully believe that the voca tions will be forthcoming." With the organization of the new home and foreign mission department a large increase in semi naries and vocations may be expected in the next few years. Seminaries of New York New York has had eight diocesan seminaries; the first, how ever, was such by nature of an agreement entered into between Bishop Dubois and the President of St. Mary's Seminary, Emmits burg. The seminary at Nyack was destroyed by fire after its completion, while Lafargeville was closed after a two years' trial. St. John's Seminary, located opposite the Cathedral, was but a temporary institution while a new building was being erected at Fordham. The first successful seminary was at St. John's, Ford ham, which lasted twenty years (1841-1861) and from which were ordained 107 priests. Then came St. Joseph's, Troy, which lasted thirty-one years (1865-1896) in whose halls 996 seminari ans were educated and from which 716 priests were ordained. Dunwoodie during the twenty-five years of its existence (1896- 1921) has had 1,218 students and has ordained 709 priests, of whom 619 completed their studies at St. Joseph's. The faculties of the seminaries have in turn been constituted of Vincentians, 1841-1846; Jesuits, 1846-1856; Seculars, 1856-1896; Sulpicians, 1896-1906, and finally Diocesan clergy, 1906-1921.

Secular CHAPTER II Early Seminaries of the Diocese First Efforts to Start a Seminary The archdiocese of New York has liad eight bishops and all save the first, who never saw his diocese, prayed and worked and fought for what each in turn considered the most important element for success in spreading the Faith, the establishment of a seminary for the training of priests. The first Bishop of New York was the Right Reverend Luke Concanen (1808-1810), who was prior of the Dominican Church of San Qemente in Rome. He passed to his reward after three years of vain attempts to reach his diocese, the Napoleonic Wars serving as an eflFectual barrier. The second Bishop of New York was the Right Reverend John Connolly (1814-1823), who was also a Dominican and who came to New York as its first administrator in 1815. He found in the State of New York and in the northern part of New Jersey, which then constituted his diocese, just four priests. This number in 1822 had grown to eight. His first efforts were to secure priests, but he found it almost impossible to get missionaries who were able to endure the hardships of ministering to the scattered Catho lics of his vast diocese. The itinerant priest, who travelled from shanty to shanty in which he heard confessions and said Mass, be came a necessity. Bishop McQuaid, who knew the conditions, thus describes their work : "Some had their permanent home in the city, and others were sent out to the most remote parts of the States, some with knap sacks on their backs, carrying their vestments, that wherever they found a poor, stray sheep of the fold the consolations of religion might be brought to such. One was stationed in Paterson, one in Newark, one at the settlements along the North River reaching toward Albany, one had his home in Albany, with what is now the diocese of Albany as his parish ; another was in Utica, and the last was at Rochester. The Bishop himself, with all his learning and dignified and princely manners, was a simple parish priest; every work that falls to the lot of a parish priest fell to him ; in a few years, having brought on his last sickness by attending to the duties of parochial work, God called him to his rest." EARLY SEMINARIES OF THE DIOCESE 9 In the report of the condition of his diocese to Cardinal Litta, Prefect of Propaganda in Rome, Bishop Connolly stated that his greatest regret was his inability to establish a seminary for the education of a native clergy. His resources were meagre, his people scattered and his few priests engaged in real missionary work, and though his thoughts and dreams and prayers were for a seminary for the training of native priests, it remained a vision, which was all that he could transmit to his successor. The third Bishop of New York was the Right Reverend John Dubois (1824-1842), who made two attempts to realize this vision, and, though both ended in failure, he died with the consolation of knowing that they were the stepping stones of another then being launched. Father Dubois, a Sulpician, had been obliged to escape from France during the Revolution, and on his arrival in America was stationed for a time at St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore. It was here that he conceived the idea of founding Mount St. Mary's College and Seminary at Emmitsburg, where priests might be trained for the entire country. On his appointment as Bishop of New York his great ambition was to establish a seminary, as he realized that this was the great need of his diocese. Mount St. Mary's, Emmitsburg To tide over his difficulties until this desire could be fulfilled the Bishop made an arrangement with his successor at Mount St. Mary's whereby this institution became the diocesan seminary of New York for five years. The copy of the agreement, dated September 25, 1826, is of interest : "The following agreement entered by and between Right. Revd. John Dubois, Bishop-elect of New York on the one part, and the .Revd. Mich'l De Burgo Egan and the Revd. John F. McGerry on the other, witnesseth: "That the Right. Revd. John Dubois, Bishop-elect of New York, wishing to promote the interests of the Seminary of Mount St. Mary's of which he has been for many years the superior, and to aid the Revd. Mich'l De Burgo Egan and the Revd. John F. McGerry, his successors in that establishment, in discharging the debts with which it is embarrassed, hereby engages himself : "1. To consider the Seminary of Mount St. Mary's near Em mitsburg as his Diocesan Seminary for the term of five years. "2. That he will not erect any seminary or college in the diocese of New York during the space of five years, as it would evidently prove detrimental to the interests of Mount St. Mary's. 10 EARLY SEMINARIES OF THE DIOCESE "3. That he will not remove any of his subjects from the Sem inary of Mount St. Mary's, whether they have finished their theological studies or not, without the consent of the said Revd. Messrs. Egan and McGerry, when they remonstrate to him that the subject is not ready or fit to be ordained, or that such removal would prove too great an inconvenience to the Seminary. "4. That he will ordain no subject of his Diocese, who will have made his studies in this seminary, without testimonials from the directors of the seminary that such a subject is worthy by his moral conduct, piety and ecclesastical instruction, to be promoted to Holy Orders. "5. That when he establishes a seminary or college in the Diocese of New York, he will receive no young man from the Seminary of Mount St. Mary's without the approbation and recommendation of the President or Directors of said Seminary of Motmt St. Mary's." The agreement was beneficial to both parties, since Mount St Mary's was assisted in paying its debt, while New York was pro vided with a seminary to train its priests for the next five years. In September, 1830, Bishop Dubois went to Rome and, like his predecessor, reported the dire necessity of a seminary to the Prop aganda. His appeal for funds did not fall on deaf ears, for both the Holy Father Pius VII and the Propaganda came to his rescue with substantial donations. With this as a start he went through Europe to secure additional financial aid and returned to America with at least enough to purchase property. The story of the Church's struggle in those early days was like that of the struggle of our own country for money in the days of the Revolution, and priests of the gospel as well as warriors had to be secured from Europe, a fact which a grateful nation and religion should never forget His plans are thus briefly stated in a letter dated March 16, 1830, to the Association of Lyons, whose help he was seeking: "All these are matters of direful importance ; yet before all I must establish an apostolic nursery, and it is by no means easy to acquire a seminary in New York, where land costs $10,000 or $12,000 an acre. My idea is to unite a college with the seminary, as I did so happily in the Baltimore diocese, so as to defray the expenses of the seminary out of the income of the college. I shall have very little difficulty in starting this establishment, and when begun it will be self-sustaining. Apart from the benefit to the Church, what immense advantages will the college not present in the way of Catholic education in a country where there is no MS' '¦'.?«ftf lis ^^4r •« ¦«« "* 'fi'lUrM {¦ 111 # V^ Tilifisft-;'; ..' -^..^...u ..^y, ;;..irf l-'i- ¦ ^ ft '!|€:- c':#tli 1 'ifl; "W^ ^''^^^*';^^ i^''-^^:--!.".vSi4te ^^s ¦w?t- .7:7"-^ ^1 -1 ^.lix j.:^V^^J«5'^^?!S5*^^'^-'' ¦ '' -Sl ^WMii.Wi -ALL€3SANDttl, fIDMA ST.

In this year came the news of the appointment of Dri Gabriels as Bishop of Ogdensburg. Though Troy was indeed sorry to lose her esteemed and beloved rector yet she rejoiced in the honor which had come to the new bishop and to the seminary in his eleva tion to the episcopate. The consecration of the new prelate took place in the Cathedral of Albany on May 5, 1892, Archbishop Corrigan officiating, assisted by Bishops McNeimy of Albany and Ludden of Syracuse. Bishop McQuaid of Rochester preached the sermon. At this ceremony there were present archbishops and bishops from Canada as well as from the United States, twenty- three in all, no less than five hundred priests, mostly graduates of St. Joseph's, and one hundred and fifty seminarians. Rectorship of the Very Rev. P. A. Puissant, D.D. (1892-1896) Bishop Gabriels resigned the presidency of the seminary in April, 1892. His colleague, the Very Rev. Peter A. Puissant, D.D. (hon orary, Louvain) was appointed his successor. Doctor Puissant thenceforth lectured on Church History ; Father Fivez became Pro fessor of Moral Theology and Treasurer, Father Murphy succeed ing the latter in the chair of Dogmatic Theology. Soon after, the faculty was completed by the appointment of the Rev. Joseph Delaney, an alumnus of St. Joseph's, who had gone to Rome and there had received the degree of Doctor of Sacred Theology. The number of students varied each year between 104 and 173 due to changing conditions in the dioceses. The opening of the seminaries of Brighton in 1884 and Rochester in 1893 drew off a considerable number of students. Again, several of the New Eng land dioceses sent their students to Montreal to learn French, which was needed in their parishes. \\'e are indebted to Bishop Gabriels for the following statistics: ST. JOSEPH'S SEMINARY, TROY 33 "From its opening until January, 1891, St. Joseph's Seminary has matriculated 1,036 students, of whom 625, after the regular course, have been ordained priests in the seminary chapel, or at home, 140 are now at the seminary, the others having either died, or been ordained elsewhere, or abandoned their studies. There are, at the present writing (June, 1891), about 200 students of St Joseph's laboring in the diocese of New York, 60 in Albany, 69 in Boston, 48 in Rochester, 13 in Hartford, 12 in Springfield, 14 in Ogdensburg, 3 in Portland, eight in Peoria, 4 in Burlington, 30 in Syracuse, 5 in Providence, 5 in Manchester, 3 in Trenton, 1 in Detroit, 2 in Denver, 1 in Buffalo, 1 in Louisville, 1 in Chicago, 2 with the Jesuits, 1 with the Redemptorists."

The Closing of the Troy Seminary The death of Cardinal McQoskey made Archbishop Corri gan head of the diocese and he soon began to look for a new loca tion and a new faculty for his seminary. Two reasons were advanced for the closing of Troy. One was the desire of the priests to have the seminary located near the city for the con venience of the clerical students as also for their own annual retreats. At Troy, it was thought, in 1860, that a seminary would be founded to answer all the requirements of the growing Church of Northeast America for many years to come. No one seemed to doubt its permanence and sufficiency for all the wants of the Church. What appeared to be wonderful farsightedness then was soon seen to be short-sightedness. Yet the Troy seminary was a blessed boon to the Church, and in its day turned out over seven hundred priests. The other reason was due to the faculty. The Belgian profes sors were advancing in age and the old difficulty of recruiting from the secular clergy a body of priests willing to devote their lives to the education of candidates for the priesthood caused Archbishop ST. JOSEPH'S SEMINARY, TROY 35 Corrigan to make another effort to secure the Fathers of St. Sul pice to new surroundings at Dunwoodie. Troy closed its doors in 1896 when more than eighty seminarians were sent to the new seminary at Dunwoodie. The Archbishop promised positions in the archdiocese to all those of the old faculty who were not desir ous of teaching at Dunwoodie. The President, Father Puissant, was made Defenjsor Matrimonii and president of the Board of Synodal Examiners. In 1901 he accepted a canoncy which was vacant in the cathedral chapter of Ghent and returned to Belgium. Fathers Lafort, Livingston and Fitzsimmons went with their stu dents to Dunwoodie while Father Murphy and Dr. Delaney returned to parish work. The Brothers of Lourdes were assigned to houses of their Institute in this country after many years of splendid service at Troy. Since its closing the building has been occupied by the Christian Brothers, the Salesian Fathers and the Sisters of St. Joseph to whom it was finally sold, thus continuing the spiritual atmosphere which for thirty-two years reverberated in its hallowed walls. Thus ends the story of the Trojan period of St. Joseph's Sem inary. " Fuit Ilium et ingens gloria Troiae." But it has left a double offspring, St. Joseph's of Dunwoodie, and the Convent of the Sisters of St. Joseph on Ida Hill. " Sint perpetuae." The Troy Alumni The year 1900 saw the beginnings of the Troy Alumni Associa tion, which has since become a flourishing organization. The aim of this society is to keep fresh old memories among its members, to foster friendship among the priests who studied at Troy, and to provide the means for doing any good work suggested by their former connection with St. Joseph's Provincial Seminary. They gather every year in New York to assist at a Pontifical Mass cele brated at their request, to attend to the election of officers and to the business of the society, and to convene at a fraternal banquet where for a few hours convivial wit and postprandial eloquence reign supreme.

The tribute of Father Myhan is worthy of the seminary and the author : "The old seminary on the hill had run its course. The bell in its tower had tolled its parting knell to her youngest sons in June, 1896, and with the closing of its doors came the finish of a long, interesting, and glorious chapter in the Church history of 38 ST. JOSEPH'S SEMINARY, TROY New York and the New England States. St. Joseph's had known many homes during its lifetime from the days of Bishop Dubois in 1833 to our day, but its longest sojourn was on Mount Ida in the city of Troy. From October, 1862, with its seventy students, to June, 1896, with its five hundred and more alumni, laboring in the vineyard of the Lord throughout the length and breadth of the land, marks an epoch of history of which every son of Troy is thankfully and rightfully proud." The spirit that animated the training at Troy was well brought out by the funeral oration over Troy's second president. Bishop Gabriels, by the Most Rev. Patrick J. Hayes, D.D. : " 'Discere et docere in Christo' — learn and teach in Christ, was the spirit that characterized Dr. Gabriels as president of St. Jo seph's Seminary, Troy. He had no patience with anything that was not wholly of Christ in teaching, in studying and in discipline at the seminary. No via media was tolerated. 'All for Jesus' was the maxim for the young Levite jn the seminary. About 700 priests have come out of Troy bearing on their priestly minds and hearts the impress of the safe, sound and solid piety, scholarship and discipline that obtained under this just and saintly master in Israel, our beloved Dr. Gabriels. "The seminary was indeed the Upper Room where Christ gath ered His Disciples to choose among them His priests and His bishops. His faithful servant was good Dr. Gabriels, our saintly and wise preceptor, who taught us how to pray, how to study, how to love Christ, how to yearn for souls. What inspiration of light, love, courage, we received by word and example from Dr. Gabriels! To him the rule was the Finger of Christ pointing clearly to the sure way of piety and personal sanctification. The liturgy was the Tongue of Christ telling most appealingly, in ceremonial and chant, the beauty and majesty of the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven. The history of the Church was the story, ever ancient and ever new, of Christ's passion and glory, of Christ's humiliation and triumph. Canon law was the disciplined and experienced sentinel of the Church's power in the implicit obedience to and the explicit acceptance of the authority of the Holy See. Furthermore, what reverence Dr. Gabriels instilled into us for episcopal authority and what thorough knowledge of synodal statutes ! "After his twenty-five years in the seminary the day came when he was chosen to succeed the lamented Bishop Wadhams. The 'Ecca Sacerdos Magnus' of the cathedral supplanted the 'Adoro Te' of the seminary chapel. ST. JOSEPH'S SEMINARY, TROY 39 "Hundreds of his former students have gone before him and await his coming into the heavenly courts. Hundreds of others labor on in this vale of tears and will soon follow him to their ¦ eternal reward. The old seminary with its wealth of blessed memo ries is passing away. Bishop Gabriels' death closes another chap ter of the book ; and, in the closing, one of the most revered and familiar vistas of the venerable school fades away forever. He himself is the last of the Belgian professors associated with dear old St. Joseph's. Doctors Vandenhende, Puissant, Roelants, Fivez and Lafort have gone before. May all rest in peace eternal ! "What shall we his pupils, his disciples, his sons say, at this moment, of our revered teacher, our saintly master, our beloved father ? Speaking for him who is privileged to stand in this pulpit today, let me say that, though I became the Metropolitan of the Bishop of Ogdensburg, I never permitted myself to lose sight of the affection, the reverence, the gratitude I owed this truly good and really great prelate. Up to this moment I have always felt a son in the presence of a revered father. I consider it, and I shall always consider it, one of God's special graces to me that I sat at the feet of Dr. Gabriels in old St. Joseph's Seminary, Troy. From him I acquired an abiding and reverent obedience to the laws of God and the Church ; from him I learned a deep spiritual sense of the liturgy ; by him my soul was inspired with the highest sacer dotal ideals. "I feel convinced that is the experience and would be the testi mony of all the clergy who studied in Troy. If at times Dr. Ga briels appeared severe, and almost a rigorist, it was because he considered the seminary as a testing as well as a training school of the seminarian with regard to stern and inflexible principles of thought and action in the supreme responsibility of the salvation of the souls of men. No one could be more kind, more gentle, more merciful, and more forgiving than he, when circumstances called for it, in his conscientious judgment. "Who of us will ever forget the touching and inspiring scene last year, at the reunion of the Alumni of Troy, when this venerable patriarch was borne into our presence, his body afflicted and limbs helpless but with mind clear and brilliant ! What joy and consola tion he felt to see his former pupils and speak with them. His address to us was a review of the world's sorrows, the Holy Father's position, the future of the Church, and the part old St. Joseph's Seminary continued to play so prominently and effectively, through the Alumni, in the affairs of the Church and of our 40 ST. JOSEPH'S SEMINARY, TROY glorious country. His final words should ever be with us: 'Benedicite sacerdotes Domini Domino.' 'O ye priests of the Lord, bless the Lord : praise and exalt Him above all for ever.' " — Dan. iii. 84. LIST OF STUDENTS Ahearn, Rev. Patrick, Albany June 7, 1879.... Died Mar. 20, 188S Ahern, Rev.

CHAPTER V The Preparatory Seminary of Cathedral College The Church and Preparatory Seminaries The preparatory seminary has long played an important part in the formation and training of the priest. The mind of the church is that not only are major seminaries to be established but also preparatory seminaries so that vocations may be fostered and safe guarded. It is a development of the seminary idea. In 1903, Archbishop Farley decided that the time had come when New York should have a preparatory seminary and he accordingly opened Cathedral College. It is a matter of interest to note that the seed of the preparatory seminary in the diocese of New York was planted in 1856 in what is now known as Putnam Avenue near Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn. It was a private attempt and though it ended in failure after two years the work accomplished by this and the other pioneer semi naries were the steps in the foundations which led to larger and more successful efforts. The venerable missionary. Father John Stephan Raffeiner, whose name figures prominently in the records of the diocese, established there a school for aspirants to the priesthood. He built a substantial two-story brick structure and called it "St. Francis- in-the-Fields," a name significant of its rural surroundings. It was the first German church and school in the old city of Brooklyn and cost about $2,500. Six or seven students lived there and they were joined by a dozen or more who tramped across the farmlands that separated it from their homes in Holy Trinity Parish. About 1858, however, the school was closed, but the little church con tinued to be used until the opening of St. Benedict's Church on Fulton street supplied the needs of the Catholics of the section. Though this pioneer movement lasted but a short time, the memory of this first attempt has always lived in the minds of those who have given serious thought to the development of vocations to the secular priesthood. Cathedral College was opened at Madison Avenue and Fifty- first Street, New York, in September, 1903. His Grace, the Most Rev. John M. Farley, appointed as its first president the Very 63 64 CATHEDRAL COLLEGE Rev. Patrick J. Hayes. It was to be the diocesan preparatory seminary where young men desirous of studying for the priest hood might, in a religious atmosphere, make their high-school and first two years of college work and thus prepare themselves for entrance into the seminary at Dunwoodie. The opening of the college was almost the first official act of Archbishop Farley. It had been planned by Archbishop Corrigan, but death prevented his putting his plans into efifect. His successor, however, lost no time in fulfilling Archbishop Corrigan's wishes. Cathedral College has grown rapidly and is today one of the most important institutions of the archdiocese. Its purpose, like that of the seminary, is the preparation of boys and young men for the priesthood; and its achievements, again like those of the seminary, have been such as to eclipse the fondest hopes and most earnest prayers of Archbishop Corrigan, Cardinal Farley, and Archbishop Hayes. The greater and lesser seminaries operate under one charter and are known officially by the joint title of "St. Joseph's Seminary and College." Alumni Record Priests who made their studies in Cathedral College are to be found laboring in the Archdiocese of New York and in the dioceses of Brooklyn, Newark, Ogdensburg, Pittsburg, Savannah, Syracuse and Omaha. The college has furnished the Rev. Francis X. Ford ('12) and the Rev. Alphonse S. Vogel ('12) to the Society of the Foreign Missions. The following have been ordained as religious : Rev. Hyacinth Martin, O. P., ('08) ; Rev. Joseph Wiley, C.SS.R., ('09) ; Rev. Peter Hoey, C.S.P., ('09) ; Rev. Joseph T. Molloy, C.S.P., ('10) ; Rev. Alfred Ronchon, O.F.M., ('14).

Since that date the members of the Cathedral College classes of 1907 to 1915, inclusive, nine in all, have been ordained. The total number of graduates is 492, of whom 140 have now been ordained and 171 are in classes at Dunwoodie preparing for the Priesthood. The register of attendance each year is as follows : 1903-04, 51; 1904-05, 87; 1905-06, 115; 19064)7, 137; 1907-08, 141; 1908-09, 158; 1909-10, 170; 1910-11, 234; 1911-12, 327; 1912-13, 352; 1913-14, 394; 1914-15, 386; 1915-16, 450; 1916-17, 397; 1917-18, 415; 1918-19, 375; 1919-20, 375; 1920-21, 375.

Dunwoodie and Cathedral College In the splendid record made by Cathedral College Dunwoodie takes a justifiable pride, for the Alumni have had a very important part in its foundation and development. Archbishop Hayes, its first President, is ex-ofificio the Honorary President of the Dun woodie Alumni, and all the clerical professors of the college with few exceptions are Alumni of the seminary. Archbishop Hayes ruled the college from 1904 to 1914, during which time its char acter was formed, its various departments were organized and direction was given to its various activities. Archbishop Hayes was succeeded by the Very Rev. William F. Hughes, D.D., of the Class of 1899 of Dunwoodie, who governed the college from 1914 to 1918. Upon the promotion of Dr. Hughes to the pastorate of the Church of St. Gregory the Great, New York, the Very Rev. Joseph A. O'Connor, of the seminary Class of 1904 of Dunwoodie was appointed rector. Under his wise administration the tradi tions set by the Most Reverend Archbishop and cherished by his immediate successor were retained. At the close of the school year 1920-1921, Father O'Connor was appointed pastor of St. Dennis's church at Yonkers, New York, and the Very Rev. Francis C. Campbell, of Dunwoodie's Class of 1908 was appointed as the new president. The other Dunwoodie members of the Faculty by classes are: Rev. Gabriel Oussani, D.D., Ph.D. (ex-officio) ; Rev. Richard O. Hughes (deceased), 1901; Rev. John F. Morgan (deceased). 68 CATHEDRAL COLLEGE 1904; Rev. John J. Moylan, Ph.D., 1904; Rev. Berhard F. McQuade, Ph.M., 1906; Rev. John J. Brady, D. S. C, U. S.

St. Joseph's Villa at Suffern During the retreat of the clergy in July, 1921, at Dunwoodie, his Grace the Archbishop announced the purchase of a site for a villa for the seminarians. He declared that such a project had been in his mind since his appointment as head of the diocese and that a short time previously an opportunity had presented itself for putting it into execution. He had purchased the Ryan estate at Suffern, New York, for $85,000, a very reasonable price. The site was ideally located in the Ramapo Mountains thirty-two miles from New York. The property consisted of 185 acres on which was a stone building with accommodations for about fifty stu dents. A few months later an additional hundred acres were purchased making a total of 285 acres. The property was one of the show places of Rockland County and his Grace stated that he was indeed fortunate in securing such a desirable location for such a small outlay of money. The purchase of this summer villa for the seminarians completes the plan for the training of the future clergy of the diocese. Dunwoodie was founded by Archbishop Corrigan to instruct and train the seminarian on the completion of his college course ; Cathedral College was established by Cardinal Farley to give a classical education and a spiritual foundation to young men who were desirous of entering the seminary to study for the priesthood; the villa at Suffern founded by Archbishop Hayes is intended to still further develop the priestly character, by placing the seminarian during his summer vacation in sur roundings where the spiritual and intellectual side of his life will be safeguarded while the physical will not be neglected. CHAPTER VI The New Seminary at Dunwoodie The Purchase of the Site On the occasion of the Fifth Diocesan Synod, Archbishop Corrigan announced to his priests that it was his intention to establish a seminary within his own diocese. The inconvenience of the location at Troy, the disadvantages of having to make this journey for the priests' retreat and the necessity of having the seminary tmder his own supervision were among the factors which determined him to build an institution in which the Catholics of the diocese would feel a just pride. A committee of priests and laymen visited many locations and finally decided on a farm at Scarborough-on-the-Hudson, which they purchased. Later a decision was made to abandon this location, as the sur roundings were not very desirable and the means of access rather primitive. A plot of ground comprising sixty acres, known as Valentine Hill, half-way between Yonkers and Mount Vernon, was finally bought for $64,146.77. Valentine Hill is only a portion of the entire property which was long known as the Valentine Farm and which contained as much as fifty-three thousand acres of land. It was originally held under the British crown by Frederick Philipse, and the estate was known as the Manor of Philipsburg, which dates as far back as the year 1693. Philipse was accused of disloyalty and the property confiscated and sold in 1786 to Thomas Valen tine. From then on, until its purchase by Archbishop Corrigan, it had remained in the hands of the Valentine family. The choice of a site was very felicitous. On the grounds of healthfulness, convenience, propinquity to the metropolis, and adequacy of extent, the tract at Valentine Hill presented advan tages which could not be excelled. It is only about an hour's journey from New York. On days of special service at the Cathedral and during the time of the priests' retreats this advan tage is fully appreciated by the seminarians and the clergy. The pamphlet published at the opening of Dunwoodie says : "Without an actual view of the seminary as it stands, it is difficult to realize its great extent. It is no exaggeration to say 70 THE NEW SEMINARY AT DUNWOODIE that its proportions are those of a university and its external aspect is ia keeping with such an idea. Eastward Hes an extensive country of hills, woods and valleys reaching with a gentle suc cession of undulations to Long Island Sound, whose waters, sparkling in the sunlight, and white with the frequent sail, carry the eye to a chain of light-blue hills bounding the distant horizon. To the southeast extends the flourishing village of Mount Vernon, its church spires standing out prominently. Northward are the Tuckahoe Hills as far as the eye can see, while westward the Yonkers ridge, crowned with lofty trees whose openings reveal here and there a glimpse of the Hudson Valley, leads up to the dark wall of the Palisades, stretching in majestic grandeur away to the north. Below the hill is a valley of rich rolling land watered by Tippet's brook and beautifully wooded. The old Croton Aqueduct winds along the foot of the hill while further west can be seen the New Aqueduct." Historical Association General Washington established his headquarters on Valentine Hill, just previous to the battle of White Plains. It was from the very hill now occupied by the seminary that the attack on the British forces in New York was directed. The information pos sessed by General Washington of the topography of the country in the vicinity of Valentine Hill was meagre and he complains very much of the gentlemen of New York, from whom he had never been able to obtain a plan of the country. Colonel Putnam in disguise reconnoitered the ground and sketched a map, giving the important features of the country and positions, but the ideas about the position of Valentine Hill with regard to Yonkers were very hazy and misleading. In Scharf's "History of Westchester County" it is stated that: "Two regiments of the Massachusetts Militia under Major- General Lincoln were sent up the Hudson River to watch the movements of the British ships and prevent the landing of men, while the headquarters of that division, and probably its two remaining regiments, were posted on Valentine Hill, one of those ridges which still form a distinguishing feature of the topography of Westchester County; and at the time of wliich we write, the most beautiful of the high grounds extending northwardly as far as White Plains, which were subsequently occupied by detach ments of the American Army, while the main body of that army was laboriously and painfully occupied in its famous retreat with co^n^icHT BY a H.>tMD£HsaN lasr- oy^.^^f:^^>->-^^ iPT'^se-, THE NEW SEMINARY AT DUNWOODIE 71 its baggage and stores from the Heights of Harlem to the high grounds at the last mentioned place. General Heath's division was posted in a line extending from Fort Independence to Valen tine Hill. It is said also that a line of entrenched encampments was formed along the high grounds on the western side of the Bronx River from Valentine's Hill, on the south to Chatterton Hill, opposite the White Plains on the north." In a pamphlet by the late Rev. D. P. O'Neill, on "Catholicity in Westchester County," the French and American activities against the English in the vicinity of Valentine Hill are thus described : "On May 8th, 1781, the frigate Concorde arrived in Boston, bringing the Abbe Robin and despatches from the French govern ment, recommending a forward movement against the English by land and sea, and a union of the French and American forces, the latter then encamped in and around West Point, New York. Rochambeau notified Washington, who on May 22nd met the French leader at Hartford, where they held a council of war, and an attack on New York City by way of Westchester or Staten Island was ordered. "The attempt to capture New York was however frustrated by a party of Hessians looking for companions, who the day before ventured up to Yonkers for a supply of hay. They discovered Americans at Kingsbridge, gave the alarm to the New York gar rison, and retreated within the fortifications at the upper end of New York Island. Washington, after reconnoitering the enemy's outposts, returned to Valentine Hill, July 3rd, 1781, sent a dispatch from that place to Rochambeau, announcing the result of the skirmish. Washington celebrated Wednesday, July 4th, 1781, by marching from Valentine Hill to the camp at Dobbs Ferry, on the Hudson. "The American and French forces formed a junction on Valen tine Hill at daybreak, Sunday, July 22nd, 1781, and at 5 a. m. were in battle array, the line of battle extending from Kings- bridge to De Lancey's Mills, West Farms. The Americans and French crossed the Harlem River and Spuyten Duyvil Creek to Manhattan Island, under a heavy fire from the English war ships, artillery, and infantry. American coolness and bravery under these trying circumstances elicited the admiration and praise of the French officers and soldiers, who now, for the first time during the campaign, had an opportunity of seeing the American soldier engaged in real warfare." The first Mass celebrated on Valentine Hill was in all prob- 72 THE NEW SEMINARY AT DUNWOODIE ability said by the Abbe Robin who was a chaplain with the French forces under Rochambeau. On Sunday, July 22nd, 1781, in the presence of the forces of Washington and Rochambeau, the good chaplain erected his altar and offered the sacrifice of the Mass for the success of the War for American Independence. In his fond est imaginations this zealous priest could never have pictured that 115 years later a seminary would be opened on that historic spot, and that during the first twenty-five years of its existence 1,218 aspirants for the Holy Priesthood would have been enrolled among its students. The following itinerary gives an interesting sketch of the work of the chaplain during this period: "The march of Rochambeau's army through several states, where Mass had never before been said, brought to light Roman Catholics in many places where they were not known to exist; and the army chaplains were often surrounded by the descendant of Irishmen or Arcadians who now saw a priest for the first time and implored them to stay. During his stay in Westchester, from Monday, July 2nd to Saturday, August 25th, 1781, the Abbe officiated on Tompkins Farm, French Hill, Yorktown, at Union- ville, Pleasantville and North Castle, the latter districts now attended by the Dominican Fathers at Sherman Park. Rocham beau's headquarters were at Hartsdale, and it is more than likely that the Abbe held religious services there on the Sundays of July 9th, 16th, 30th, August 5th, 12th, 19th. He offered the sacrifice of the Mass on Valentine Hill, Sunday, July 22nd, and at Stony Point, Haverstraw, August 26th, 1781." This section of Westchester County was the scene of the actions of the "Skinners" and the other guerrillas made famous in Cooper's novel, "The Spy." It abounds therefore in interesting associa tions. All the ground as far as the eye can see around Valentine Hill is sacred and memorable. As has well been remarked "It is good to grow up in such a spot as this; good for men whose lives are to be one long enduring sacrifice from a temporal point of view, to grow up among the scenes of heroic suffering devo tion on behalf of the fatherland." It was this historical background that inspired the Right Rev. William Livingston to compose the following lines: 1776 Here on this hill, in the olden days, When veins ran warm with a patriot fire, They stood in the ranks, their hearts ablaze, Shoulder to shoulder, son and sire. THE NEW SEMINARY AT DUNWOODIE 73 And the virgin land they loved so well Was flushed with the rich, red blood they gave; She rose in strength as her heroes fell. And to give her power they sought the grave. Some of their forms are carved in stone. Their names are clothed with a nation's pride, And thousands sank to their death unknown; For love they struggled, for love they died. We honor them all, and we love the fields These resolute soldier martyrs trod; And the seed they planted this harvest yields — The road of sacrifice leads to God. 1896 Here on this hill, in these golden days. Their faces glowing with voiceless joy. They stand prepared for the coming frays, Shoulder to shoulder, man and boy. They bring to the famished, heavenly bread. That the souls of men may be fair and clean; The world hears not their marching tread. And their banner floats to the breeze unseen. But the sin-enslaved cry aloud for aid, And the spirits hear and pause — There never was yet a priest afraid To shed his blood in the Master's cause. Some of their names will live for men ; Thousands will rest 'neath a nameless sod; They die that the dead may live again. For the road of sacrifice leads to God. The Laying of the Corner Stone The laying of the corner stone took place on May 17, 1891, Archbishop Corrigan, in the presence of about eighty thousand persons, performing that ceremony. Over one hundred and fifty thousand started out for the seminary, but more than half of them never reached their destination owing to the collapse of the 74 THE NEW SEMINARY AT DUNWOODIE railroad facilities. The Superintendent of the New York Central confessed that he had grossly underestimated the number and loyalty of Catholics, but promised to be ready the next time that the Catholics were going to a celebration. The following invita tion was sent to the Catholics of New York, and as an indication of the cosmopolitan character of the diocese, it is of interest to note that it was printed in eight languages, English, French, Ger man, Italian, Polish, Greek, Hebrew and Dutch: laying of the corner stone of the new seminary of st. joseph At Valentine Hill, near Dunwoodie Station, New York City and Northern R.

To the Catholic people of the Archdiocese of New York: His Grace, the Most Reverend Archbishop, invites all the Cath olics of the diocese to be present at the blessing of the comer stone of the new Seminary of St. Joseph, on Sunday, May 17th, at three P. M., at Valentine Hill, near Dunwoodie Station on the New York and Northern R. R. The solemn ceremony will be conducted by his Grace, and the eloquent and learned Arch bishop Ryan of Philadelphia will deliver the address. All the Catholic societies of this diocese have been officially invited to participate in the celebration. Since the laying of the comer stone of our beautiful Cathedral, no event has been more important for the welfare of this diocese than the beginning of the new diocesan seminary. For many years our priests have been educated at the Provincial Seminary at Troy. Owing to the inconvenience of the location for both Bishop and priests, it has been deemed oppor tune to carry out the suggestions and monitions of the Holy Coun cil of Trent, and build within the limits of our diocese a seminary that shall be under the immediate supervision of the Bishop, and accessible to the clergy. A beautiful site has been secured at Valentine Hill, in the town of Yonkers, two miles from the northern limits of the City of New York, and it is proposed to erect thereon a building that shall cost half a million dollars. Our people understand the importance and necessity of a holy and learned priesthood, for the priesthood is the source of the people's spiritual life. Consequently Catholics throughout the world love to see aspirants for the sacred ministry properly trained for their THE NEW SEMINARY AT DUNWOODIE 75 high vocation, and have at all times been distinguished for their generosity in furnishing their priests with the education and the best care that their circumstances would permit. The laity of this diocese have not been wanting in this noble spirit. We appeal to them, therefore, to aid their priests in making this celebration worthy of themselves, of the great institution it inaugurates, and of our devoted chief pastor, whose crowning glory it shall be to have left a seminary that shall provide this vast diocese with learned and holy priests to supply the places of those who in the course of years must inevitably pass away. By their presence on this noteworthy occasion, our people will give public testimony of their interest in the work which so nearly concerns their own spiritual welfare. With the approbation of his Grace, the Most Reverend Arch bishop, and with the consent of the reverend rectors of the dif ferent parishes, this circular has been prepared for distribution under the direction of the undersigned Committee of Arrange ments, appointed by the Most Reverend Archbishop to supervise this important ceremony. Very Rev. Mgr. John M. Farley, Chairman Very Rev. Edw. McKenna, V.F. Very Rev. D. P. O'Flynn, V.F. Very Rev. Wm. L. Penny, V.G. Rev. John F. Kearney Rev. James W. Power Rev. John Gleason Rev. Albert A. Lings Rev. Nicholas J. Hughes Rev. James J. Flood Rev. Charles R. Corley Rev. M. J. Lavelle Rev. N. N. McKinnon, S.J. Rev. Andrew Ziegler, C.SS.R. The sermon on the occasion was preached by the great pulpit orator, the Most Rev. Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia, from which we quote the following : "To the Catholic this occasion has deep significance. He knows that Christianity is not merely a collection of ethical principles no matter how admirable, nor the fortuitous combination of per sons under the names of Churches, who happen to agree on some leading doctrines of the Founder of the Christian religion, but that it is, and ever has been from its foundation, an organism, a Kingdom of God upon earth, compacted and fitly jointed together, an organism of which the Christian priest is an essential in separable portion. Christ and His Apostles formed the first Christian seminary, and this seminary has been perpetuated from century to century continuing in the world the divine priesthood of 76 THE NEW SEMINARY AT DUNWOODIE Our Lord with all its great powers, without which the Church cannot be conceived. "It is well known that in proportion to the excellence of the intellectual and moral training in the seminary shall naturally be the priests that come from its halls, and 'as the priest, so the peo ple.' If we examine the history of the Church at the various periods and in various countries we shall find that the great body of the people were good or bad or indifferent according to the kind of priests that ministered to them. The priesthood should be, as the continued priesthood of Christ, 'the salt of the earth,' 'the light of the world,' and if it be not this, it becomes a curse to the world. If it be not for the resurrection it becomes for the fall of many. "Hence the immense importance of seminary institutions for the welfare of all the children of the Church. This truth is particularly emphasized by the fact that when great reformers arose in the Church, they directed their first and earnest endeavors towards the establishment of ecclesiastical seminaries, the pro fessors and pupils of which should be filled with the spirit of God. They went up to the mountain top, to the well-spring of religious life and let the sweetening wood fall into the once bitter waters, and as these waters flowed downward and leaped over the rocks and formed the cataracts and swept by the great cities, bearing bread for the children of men, they retained the spiritual sweetness of their mountain heights. " 'If,' says Bishop Hefele, the historian, 'the Catholic world has had for the last three hundred years a more learned, a more moral, and a more pious priesthood than that which existed in al most every country before the so-called Reformation, it is due to this decree of the Council of Trent, and to it, in this age, we owe our thanks.' The Council directed that preparatory seminaries should be established for the younger aspirants to the ministry, and larger ones for the more advanced. "Few people advert to the long course of studies and training required for the priesthood of the Catholic Church. In two or three years a professional man may become a clergyman in some of the non-Catholic denominations, and if he please he can give up his ministerial calling, and return to his former profession. No so, however, in the Catholic Church. In it, a priest once a priest, is a priest forever. The indelible mark of his priesthood is impressed on his soul. He cannot change. Hence, the immense importance of his training. He must have a desire for the state, and sufficient virtue to preserve his innocence in this holy position. THE NEW SEMINARY AT DUNWOODIE 77 Because some were admitted into the sanctuary who possessed not these qualifications, great abuses crept in with them, and extended to the whole flock of Christ. Hence, the great reforming Council of Trent resolved to lay the axe to the root, and reform priesthood and people by reforming the seminaries, and making them what they should be. The Council was justly persuaded that it was better to have fewer priests and thoroughly trained, and filled with the spirit of sacerdotal piety, than many tepid and unworthy ones. "Your devoted Archbishop is acting out the spirit and legisla tion of the Church and her reforming saints in the great seminary to be erected on this spot. Oh, what a future it shall have! Hundreds, even thousands, of young men in the very morning of life, in the spring-tide of existence, shall leave the great city yonder — leave human love and human ambition — and entering into the chapel, the future heart of this great institute, shall cry out in the inspired enthusiasm of their vocations: 'We shall go unto the altar of God, to God who rejoiceth our youth.' 'Send forth Thy light and Thy truth ; they have led us and brought us to Thy holy hill and into Thy tabernacle.' After years of solitude, prayer and study they shall go forth as the Apostles of Jesus Christ went on this Pentecost day, and entering again into the great city they shall proclaim, in words of fire, the holy truths that once converted the word, and which alone shall preserve it from moral destruction. Back to this retreat shall they come from time to time to renew the spirit of their exalted vocation, and to go forth, thus renewed, to continue their great work. The mission of this institution is thus eloquently described in the address of the 'Old Seminary to the New' : " 'Here is the school of Christ — the upper room — Where men shall learn to know the bud and bloom Of saintly lives; which Christ Himself shall teach. Illume the mind and wake the chords of speech Here men will dwell, to learn God's holy will, That He who built the Church must guide her still. Christ has not lied; this pompous world has need Of high inspiring word and god-like deed Of men who lift themselves above the clay And yearn to show their fellow men the way. Of men whose spotless souls are all aflame To teach the sweetness of the saving Name ; Whose words and works, though like their Lord assailed, Prove that gates of hell have not prevailed. 78 THE NEW SEMINARY AT DUNWOODIE "And for the non-Catholic, and even for the non-believer in Christianity itself, this occasion is not without interest. From a human standpoint alone the life mission of a Catholic priest is a glorious one. His love for and attention to the poor and suffering of our race ; the great institutions of beneficence which the clergy of the Church have inaugurated and sustained in every part of the world ; the truths so conservative of human society which the priest constantly inculcates ; his respect for authority as for God's institution; his efforts for temperance and brotherly love; all the natural virtues which he fosters ought to render the priest the best benefactor of his race, and the seminary in which he has been formed for his glorious mission, an object of interest to every lover of his kind. But the plenitude of interest is found, of course, in the CathoHc heart. How magnificent and consoling is the scene before me. Here on this Pentecost day are repre sented nations as many and as diverse as those who thronged the streets of Jerusalem at the first Pentecost. On that day each man heard in his own tongue the wonderful works of God and the unity lost at Babel was restored to Jerusalem. A unity greater than this was produced by the Christian Church=--a sacramental unity, all partaking of divine grace flowing from the seven chan nels of the heart of God — a governmental unity all bowing in reverence and docility to the same pastoral authorities." At the conclusion of the address Archbishop Corrigan blessed the corner stone of the chapel, assisted by the Right Reverend Bishops O'Farrell of Trenton, Wigger of Newark and Conroy of Curium. Among the societies that took prominent part in the celebration were : The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, tiie Holy Name Socie ties, Passion Sodality, Bona Mors Confraternity, Confraternity of the Holy Family, Temperance Societies, League of the Sacred Heart, CathoHc Club, Catholic Benevolent Legion, Cadet Corps of St. John's College, Fordham, Catholic Mutual Benefit Association, and Catholic Knights of America. The Blessing of the Seminary The first religious exercises within the walls of the seminary were held on the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, July 16, 1896, when Archbishop Corrigan blessed the Sisters' chapel and celebrated the first Mass in the presence of the nine Sisters of Charity who had come to take care of the domestic arrangements. After the Mass the Archbishop blessed the Sisters' house, the power house, laundry and bakery. There was no display on this THE NEW SEMINARY AT DUNWOODIE 79 occasion. Lovingly and reverently each room was sprinkled with holy water, and the earnest prayer of the ritual repeated, invoking God's blessing upon every part of the house thus dedicated to a work so necessary and so holy. The vigil for-the veneration of the sacred relics to be deposited in the altars was begun Sunday evening, August 9, 1896, in the Sisters' chapel, and was observed during the whole night. On the following morning, at six o'clock, the Archbishop consecrated the main altar under the patronage of St. Joseph, placing there the relics of St. Honoratus, St. Agatha, St. James the Greater, and St. Vincent de Paul. The altar of the Sacred Heart was then consecrated and the relics of St. Severinus, St. Julia, St. Ambrose and St. Alphonsus Ligouri were placed therein. The conse cration of the altar of the Assumption was reserved for the consecration of the chapel proper, which took place in 1898. Immediately after the ceremonies, the Archbishop celebrated the first Mass on the high altar of the chapel. The eve of dedication was deemed an opportune time for the blessing of the seminary proper. Bishop McQuaid of Rochester, at the request of Archbishop Corrigan, officiated at this ceremony as a labor of love. He blessed the main building for the use of the professors and students, leaving the chapel to be solemnly blessed the next morning by the Archbishop. At six o'clock on the morning of August 12 the day was begun with a proper and patriotic celebration on the lawn in front of the seminary. A magnificent American flag, twenty by thirty feet, was blessed by the Rev. James N. Connolly, assisted by Father DriscoU and Mr. McLaughlin. The three then raised the banner of liberty to the top of a large white pole, near the southeastern wing of the building. Thus, under the protection of the great ensign, stands St. Joseph's Seminary. There are no signs or tokens of royalty about the place, but there are, and there will continue to be, every sign and token of loyalty to the American flag and the American Constitution. Promptly at ten o'clock the Archbishop, attended by Dean Lings of Yonkers and Dean Sweeney of Kingston, began the cere mony of blessing the new house of the Lord, and as the priests marched around in procession robed in cassock and surplice, they found the chapel a fair and gladdening sight. The paintings behind the high altar were iHumined by electric lights concealed behind the pillars and arch of the apse. The sanctuary was a dream of golden glory, while the simple, chaste beauty of the 80 THE NEW SEMINARY AT DUNWOODIE mosaic floor, the richness of the oaken stalls, the splendor of the marbled columns, and the wondrous color harmonies of the stained glass windows sent a thrill of exultation through the souls of those who love and appreciate the glory of the house of God. When the ceremony of the blessing was finished, the proces sion for the Solemn Pontifical Mass entered the chapel, his Emi nence Cardinal Satolli being the celebrant. Seated in the sanctuary were Bishops McQuaid of Rochester, Wigger of Newark, Ludden of Syracuse, Gabriels of Ogdensburg, McDonnell of Brooklyn, Burke of Albany, and McFaul of Trenton, and Archbishop Cor rigan, attended by Very Rev. Albert A. Lings and Rev. Michael J. Lavelle. More than two hundred priests occupied the stalls, and there were present a few laymen, invited as special guests by reason of their great interest in the building of the seminary. About twenty priests acted as a special choir and sang the Gregorian Mass. When the solemn services were finished, the Right Rev. John M. Farley D. D., then auxiliary Bishop of New York, read two telegrams of blessing and congratulation. The first, from Pope Leo XIIL, was as follows : "The Holy Father, on this occasion of the blessing of the new Seminary of New York, congratulates the Most Reverend Arch bishop and from the fullness of his heart imparts to his Grace, to the students of the seminary, and to all the clergy of the dio cese, his apostolic benediction. "M. Cardinal Rampolla." Cardinal Ledochowski sent this communication, addressed to Archbishop Corrigan: "I congratulate your Grace, and rejoice with you most sincerely that through your zeal and energy a building so monumental and so useful for the training of the young clergy has been completed ; and far from the scene of your labors, I invoke from my heart the blessing of Heaven upon the work, and pray that the young priests that shall be educated in this seminary, which is a perfect model of its kind, may become also perfect models of the CathoHc priesthood. "M. Cardinal Ledochowski." After reading these documents Bishop Farley preached the sermon, taking for his text the words : "Wisdom hath built herself a house." aa^t.cy ^.y. THE NEW SEMINARY AT DUNWOODIE 81 "It was a day full of hope and divinest promise when, five years ago, 100,000 of the faithful from all parts of this vast dio cese, with their pastors at their head, at the invitation of their venerated Archbishop, gathered around this place to witness the planting of the tree under whose spreading shade we repose today, and of which for ages to come this diocese shaU enjoy the conse crated fruit. "What went that multitude out into that desert to see? They went to testify their loyalty to the head of his diocese and their love for the holy priesthood. They saw in faith the multitudes of God's ministers, who should be taught and trained, dedicated to God's service here — priests destined to break the bread of life to them and their children and their children's children. They came to register their devotion to the grand cause of Christian educa tion in its highest and holiest sense. They came to proclaim their faith in the fact that the hour had come to lay the foundations of the greatest ecclesiastical seminary on the continent, and that with the hour had come the man to carry that divine work to its most perfect completion. They came to pledge themselves to hold up his hands in this arduous undertaking — ^the most im portant work for education and religion ever projected in this diocese. Who that witnessed that generous outpouring of loyalty could doubt that the work begun that day would lag back for lack of liberal support? I have said that it was the most important work ever undertaken in the cause of faith and learning. For it was designed to make that provision for souls without which the Church would fail and fade from the earth. It was to do for the Church of our day what Christ was pleased to do in the beginning to ensure the success of His Divine plans, when He made choice of His Apostles. The chosen twelve were the first seminarians, and the three years spent at the feet of the Master by the lakes and on the mountain sides of Judea was their seminary life. "The time had come for New York to have her own seminary within our limits, as had been originally intended by the former Bishops of diocese; a seminary so placed that it should be under the eye and immediate guidance of the head of the diocese. That the time was ripe for it is evidenced by the marvellous success that has attended the work from the moment of its inception. That within five years from the laying of the first stone, 'this monumental structure, the most perfect model of its kind,' as Cardinal Ledochowski calls it truly, should have reached com pletion, with only such a residue of debt as a brief space will wipe 82 THE NEW SEMINARY AT DUNWOODIE out, is something without precedent in the Church of this country. "Your Grace, this must be for you one of the most consoling days of your life. Your heart goes out in thanksgiving to Almighty God, without whose help 'they labor in vain who build' that you have lived to see this day. Your illustrious predecessors in this See sighed to behold this day; they saw it in spirit and were glad. They knew it would come — that God would provide the means and the man. They see it today from on high. As your anointed brow bowed down this morning, whilst the 'gratias agimus tibi' ascended to heaven from the tongue of the Eminent Prince celebrant, and on the wings of the Church's glorious chant from the lips of the consecrated choir of priests, methought I saw — ^who could help thinking so? — amidst the just made per fect, the spirits of your eminent and illustrious predecessors in this See — McCloskey, Hughes, Dubois, Connolly — with the whole host of holy patrons of the churches and institutions of this diocese, take up that chant and repeat, 'gratias agimus tibi, Domine Deus, Agnus Dei.' Who can doubt that as they laid at the feet of the Lamb, this latest, and greatest, gift of a grateful clergy and peo ple, this future home of piety and learning, who can doubt, I say, that these holy patrons and prelates united their prayers and pleadings with those that fill the hearts of all the prelates and priests and people here today, that the Eternal Father would pour out upon this seminary and upon all who shall dweU therein, the fullness of His blessing; that the Great High-Priest may make intercession for those who are to be made after His likeness here; that they may be most perfect models ; that the Holy Spirit may diffuse upon the souls of the young levites soon and for centuries to come to fill these noble halls. His light and His grace ; that as generation after generation of young priests goes forth from these sacred precincts, they may bear away with them the fuUness of His wisdom and understanding, and counsel and fortitude, and knowledge, and piety, and the fear of the Lord? That they may go and bring forth fruit, and that their fruit remain, to the honor and glory of God, to the salvation of souls, and to the lifting up of this our own beloved country to still higher planes of truth and honor and national prosperity." At the conclusion of the sermon, the Archbishop, in cope and mitre, standing before the high altar, intoned the Te Deum, and immediately the Bishops and priests took up the strain. The glorious old anthem of praise and glory and gratitude rolled and echoed through the noble arches of the chapel and soared aloft to God. THE NEW SEMINARY AT DUNWOODIE 83 After the dedication ceremonies dinner was served in the large students' dining hall. Towards the end of the dinner Archbishop Corrigan arose and expressed his deep feelings of gratitude and joy on this, one of the greatest days in his life. "Permit me," he said, "to give vent to the profound feelings of heartfelt gratitude with which all the incidents of this day over whelm me. In particular, I beg to thank his Eminence, the rep resentative of the Holy Father, for his great kindness in honoring this feast with his presence, and thus making us realize more vividly the loving benediction which His Holiness has been pleased to impart on this joyful occasion. Cordial thanks are also due to the venerable Bishops of this province for their gracious attend ance, notwithstanding other duties, distance, and the uninviting weather, and for the kind felicitations which they have been good enough to express. But especially on this day of days, deep gratitude is tendered to those who have so nobly aided in this important work from its very foundation, the zealous and gen erous clergy, and the no less devoted laity of the diocese. Not withstanding the hard times and the financial depression that have prevailed for the past five years, the living spring of charity has never ceased to flow ; nor was it found necessary to suspend the work, through lack of funds, even for a day. Signal gratitude is due to the gentlemen, both of the clergy and laity, who form the Committee of Ways and Means. They assisted in choosing this site, in approving the plans and contracts, in obtaining the necessary funds ; and from the very outset have given the benefit of their advice, their encouragement and support and their ex perience. In the furnishing of the seminary, the services of the Sisters of Charity have been invaluable; and, in this connection, I cannot omit the untiring zeal of my secretary. Father Connolly, who has devoted months and months in looking after innumerable details as regards the construction and lighting of the building, the equipment of the chapel and sacristy, the health, the comfort, and the conveniences of the students. "Permit me, in conclusion, to welcome to the diocese, and to commend most kindly to all present, the Sulpician Fathers who are to have charge of this institution. Thus far they are known to the majority of us only by reputation — a reputation for earnest and sustained devotion to their work which was voiced so impres sively on his deathbed by the illustrious Fenelon, when he declared : 'I know nothing in the Church of God more venerable or more apostolic than the Society of St. Suplice.' It is safe to 84 THE NEW SEMINARY AT DUNWOODIE predict that the more thoroughly we know these reverend gentle men, the greater will be our regard for them, our reverent esteem, and our admiration." Cardinal Satolli, the representative of the Holy Father, con veyed the following blessing and message of congratulation from the chair of Peter : "It is to me a source of unbounded delight to be present on this occasion as the representative of the Holy See. I have studied the progress of this vast Archdiocese of New York, and have noticed its flourishing condition. The Holy Father has also given it most special attention, and knows it not only as the greatest in the United States, but also as one of the foremost in the world. The marvellous building is but a fitting monument to the generosity of the clergy and people of the metropolis. All the self-sacrificing works of the former Bishops and Archbishops of this diocese have now reached their climax through the intelligence, the prudence and the zeal of your present great Archbishop, whom I congratulate in the name of the Holy Father, and to whom in the same name, as well as in my own, I wish many years of continued wise and useful administration. This seminary, grand in its architectural design, is a type of the Archbishop's heart ; and it is an evidence of the won derful hold he has upon the love and generosity of the clergy and people. "Let us remember, however, at the same time, that though the magnificence of this material edifice, typifying as it does the mag nificent grandeur of our Holy Mother the Church, is something for which we must all be happy and grateful, there is also required to make it fruitful, unto great good, the spiritual edifice, the true ecclesiastical spirit, without which all material splendor would be useless. The generosity shown in building this structure will soon be followed by a still higher generosity in the upbuilding of the minds of those who soon will enter these portals. Here, knowledge with virtue will thrive in the souls of youthful candi dates for the priesthood. Their united names will stand as the synonym and type of the very highest civilization." Bishop Gabriels of Ogdensburg, former president of the Troy Seminary, with characteristic generosity, expressed his hope that the new would not only equal, but surpass the former St. Joseph's. "What is a day of joy to many of you, is, to not a few," he declared, "an occasion of some sadness. The opening of St. Joseph's at Dunwoodie marks the end of a beloved institution, St. Joseph's of Troy. 'lUium fuit," may be said of the old seminary: THE NEW SEMINARY AT DUNWOODIE 85 happily it is not so with the glory of its sons. The glory of the Trojans is and wiU continue to be a living thing throughout this large continent. Wherever I traveled I found it known and honored. 'Quae regio in terris non nostri plena Idborisf In every part of this broad land the sons of St. Joseph's of Troy are spending themselves in labors for churches and institutions of all kinds. "St. Joseph was in exile for many years. He is now called from Egypt to his own home in Nazareth. Let us bear in mind. however, that in Palestine as in Egypt, St. Joseph was the cus todian of his Master, the Model of the priest. "One thing I wish to remark about the students of Troy, with out presuming to say that they are more so than others: they are loyal to the Holy See. Our Lord said to Peter : 'Diligis me plus hisf and he answered: 'Lord, Thou knowest that I love Thee.' So, too, if asked, they should answer: 'Holy Father, you know that we love you.' And I would ask his Eminence, the Apos tolic Delegate, when he returns to Rome, there to benefit still more the American Church, to lay this fact at the feet of his Holiness, that there are in this Archdiocese seven hundred priests full of loyalty and love for him. "To conclude, I wish to the successor of Troy, the new Semi nary of New York, a happiness which the former did not enjoy. It lasted only the space of one generation of priests. May the new seminary last for generations and generations. I say, there fore, with all my heart, to the new St. Joseph's 'Esto perpetua'." Bishop McQuaid of Rochester next complimented the diocese and Dunwoodie: "I am probably the oldest New York priest in this hall, but I think too much of you to inflict anything more upon you than is necessary to express my congratulations to the Archbishop, the priests, and the people of New York on the completion of this seminary, not of Dunwoodie, but of Greater New York. Reverend Fathers, you have a seminary the like of which does not exist anywhere else in the world. But it takes more than bricks and mortar to make a seminary. You must have men to teach, and you must have methods that are up to date. And just here let me remark that we have a seminary in Rochester, neither so large nor so grand as this, which, in other things, is going to set you a pace that will make you bestir yourselves to keep up with. If you are in old ruts, you will have to get out of them. No old methods, a century behind the age, will do. "You have a building here that is a wonder and a charm, and 86 THE NEW SEMINARY AT DUNWOODIE r thank God that a new spirit is showing itself in regard to semi naries. Years ago it used to make me sad at heart to see mag nificent structures in course of erection all over the country for orphan asylums and hospitals, while any old barn was thought good enough for the young levites, the men called by God to keep alive, in the hearts of the people, the very faith that made all our works of charity possible. But now in St. Joseph's of Dunwoodie and St. Bernard's of Rochester we have two buildings that challenge a comparison with any in the world. "As I said before, I am a New York priest, and an old one; therefore I feel at home among you. The first Bishop of New York baptized me, the second confirmed me, the third ordained me, and the fourth consecrated me." The Building The architects, Messrs. William Schickel & Co., were entrusted with the planning and the execution of this great work, and they succeeded in embodying the noble thoughts of its founder, in designing a building monumental in character, useful and well adapted in its arrangements, and solid and substantial in its con struction, so that for ages the seminary will stand as the cradle and home of priesthood of the Archdiocese. The hard rock found on the premises, suggested for the build ing a treatment in keeping with this material, and therefore the architects chose for the exterior a type of early Renaissance archi tecture, avoiding all carving or intricate work, and leaving to the natural beauty of the stone, and the general disposition and grouping of the masses, the effect to be attained in the design. For the interior, the Italian Renaissance of the end of the fifteenth century was adopted, being the style in which, after the revival of classic studies in the service of Christian art, many of the foremost eccleciastical buildings of Europe have attained their refined and beautiful expressions. In the general disposition of the building the front faces south east, commanding a beautiful view of the Long Island Sound, and assuring sunlight to all rooms. The main building forms a hollow square open to the front, with a chapel as a central ex tension in the rear; the refectory and domestic house form an additional group of buildings on the northeast. Eighty feet fur ther away from them are the boiler-house, electric light station, laundry, bakery, and other outbuildings. The length of the main building is three hundred and sixty feet, the wings project eighty feet, while the dimensions of the chapel are forty by one hundred THE NEW SEMINARY AT DUNWOODIE 87 and thirty. The main entrance is emphasized by a massive portico with polished granite columns, and the centre portion of the build ing is surmounted by a grand cupola, the cross of which rises one hundred and fifty feet above the ground, and is visible for many miles around. The entire building is absolutely fireproof ; even the use of iron has been reduced to a minimum. Fireproof tiles and blocks were employed throughout in the construction of the floors and ceilings, which are aU vaulted, and the internal partitions are also built of fireproof blocks. The roofs, which give the building a beautiful skyline, are covered with copper and slate, and every effort has been made to insure durability and solidity in all parts of the building. The internal arrangement of the building divides the basement into large recreation rooms, pool rooms, gymnasium, bath rooms, etc. On the main floor are located the entrance, vestibule, parlors, lecture halls, prayer halls, chemical laboratory, physical cabinet, refectory, and all other public rooms, so that the entire floor is devoted to the common life of the seminarians, while in the three floors above this, they find their living apartments. In the tower is a room containing the archives of the Arch diocese. The lecture haHs are large and airy, well-lighted and well- ventilated rooms, equipped with all modern appliances for the studies. The stairways and hall deserve special mention, as they are ex ceptionally large and well proportioned, and give the whole house a stately character. The central stair hall is adorned by four beautiful statues of St. Turibius, St. Rose of Lima, the martyrs Isaac Jogues, S.J., and Catherina Tegakwita. All the stairs have tile arches, with marble steps. The floors of the haUs on the main floor are mosaic, and all bath-rooms, kitchens, toilet rooms, etc., are tiled. The seminary has accommodations for two hundred and sixty students and fifteen professors. Besides this, there are special suites of rooms for the Archbishop and Rector of the seminary, and visitors. All rooms are bright and cheerful, and well fur nished. The upper story of the center part of the building is occupied by the large library, an unusually fine room, fitted up with fireproof book-cases in two tiers, with handsome balconies and stairs. On the main floor of the library are large reading tables and desks, making this library a model of its kind. 88 THE NEW SEMINARY AT DUNWOODIE The gem, however, of the whole seminary, is the beautiful chapel, the personal gift of His Grace, Archbishop Corrigan, Here the architects have created the worthy, harmonious, and devo tional crowning point of the whole building. All the arts have been called in requisition to aid in beautifying this sanctuary. The ceiling and dome are vaulted, and decorated in reHef. The apse of the sanctuary, and the panels over the altars are adorned with large paintings executed by Lamprecht; the windows, which represent a series of subjects appertaining to the Holy Sacrifice, were executed by Hardman, of London, and the beautiful statues are the work of Sibbel, the sculptor. The altars are of Italian marble, and the stalls and other woodwork in the chapel are execut ed in oak, and are, as well as the decoration, painting, mosaic and marble work, all in exquisite taste. The domestic cares of the house are in the hands of the Sisters of Charity, and a special house has been built for their accommo dation which contains the kitchen, serving rooms, etc., all of which are fitted up with steam apparatus and cooking utensils of modern description and in the most complete manner. The boiler-house contains four large boilers for the water-heat ing apparatus and steam. The engines, dynamos, pumps, etc., are located next to the boilers, and the laundry is above the machinery hall. Between the chapel and the west wing of the house, the terrace is enclosed, and forms a beautiful cloister, one of the principal attractions of the seminary. On the easterly side, an open court corresponding to the cloister extends in the rear to a large es planade, on which promising trees have been planted, so that shady, comfortable walks and recreation grounds may be enjoyed. The baseball field, the tennis courts, the handbaU alley and the "woods" invite the student to take part in outdoor physical exercise. The seminary enjoys a splendid view of the surrounding country and is in turn a fair sight for the eye of the passerby to rest upon. It is in many respects a t3rpe of the antique Church whose faith it is destined to promulgate. It is built on a rock, and it stands erect in the face of earth and heaven. It looks toward the East, where the Church had its beginning; the sun of the West, as it sinks in grandeur away behind the line of the Palisades, smiles a welcome upon its stately brow, which gHstens like a tiara of rubies in his fervid light, and seems to say, Esto Perpetua. THE NEW SEMINARY AT DUNWOODIE 89 Financing of the Seminary The financing of the building of the new seminary furnished ample proof of the love, loyalty and sacrifice of bishops, priests and people in providing the sum of more than a miUion dollars. The story of those deeds deserves to be recorded in the memory of every Catholic of the Archdiocese. Twenty devoted laymen, ac cepting the invitation of the Archbishop, assembled at the archi- episcopal residence in June, 1892, and after hearing the plans, subscribed $34,000 on the spot. This was the first step; the next was taken by the pastors of the diocese who assembled in the Cathedral school hall on September 15, 1892 and heartily endorsed the following plan of his Grace : Every parish in the diocese should for five years contribute $200 for each priest serving therein; each city pastor should contribute $100 a year; each country pastor $75 a year and each assistant $50 a year for the next five years. A committee chosen by the priests consisting of Reverends P. F. McSweeney, D.D., John F. Kearney and John Edwards were to receive contributions, and within a year reported that $65,000 had been subscribed. The following year his Grace appointed a subsidiary Commit tee of Ways and Means, consisting of the Right Rev. Mgr. John M. Farley, Very Rev. Joseph F. Mooney, V.G., Rev. James J. Flood, Rev. M. A. Taylor, Rev. J. W. Power, Rev. M. J. Lavelle, Judge Joseph F. Daly, C. V. Fornes, James D. Lynch, John D. Crimmins, Joseph J. O'Donohue, Morgan J. O'Brien, L. J. Calla nan, Jeremiah Fitzpatrick and William P. O'Connor. At their suggestion another meeting of laymen was called and as a result of this gathering $45,000 was added to the fund. It was further more resolved as a consequence of this meeting, to establish a monthly newspaper, which should act as a means of keeping the project constantly and clearly before the public. Mr. John Mullaly was appointed the editor. The paper was styled simply. The Seminary. It was published until August, 1896, and to its con stant appeals to the generosity of the Catholic people, no smaU amount of the funds raised must be ascribed. Each year the clergy met in the Cathedral school hall to hear reports, and they invariably had reason to be proud of the progress that had been made. In January, the Most Reverend Archbishop, his Right Rever end AuxiHary, and Vicar General Mooney, undertook to visit in turn on designated Sundays, all the parishes of the city of New York, with a view of presenting the Seminary Fund personally 90. THE NEW SEMINARY AT DUNWOODIE to the people and asking them in each church for an envelope collection. It was provided, also, that the country churches should be similarly visited by the Deans of their different districts. Through this new movement on the part of the ecclesiastical au thorities, more than $84,000 was collected. As the fund stood at the opening of the seminary, more than $700,000 had been paid into the hands of his Grace. No words are adequate to praise the priests and the people for the energy, the intelligence and the generosity wherewith they subscribed the very large fund in such a short period of time and in face of many business embarrassments. The Catholic clergy and the people had the proud satisfaction of knowing that they possess one of the finest seminaries in the world, to which practically every single individual has contributed something. In the vestibule of the seminary a tablet has been placed on which is recorded: "Names of benefactors who have donated the sum of five thou sand dollars or more to St. Joseph's Seminary : "His Eminence John Cardinal McCloskey, the Most Reverend Michael Augustine Corrigan, D.D., His Eminence John Cardinal Farley, Right Rev.

CHAPTER VII The Rectorship of the Very Rev. Edward R. Dyer, S.S., D.D. (1896-1902) 1896-1897. The first scholastic year at Dunwoodie began on September 21, 1896, with ninety-eight students, eighty-four of whom were studying for the archdiocese of New York, sixty-seven of the whole body had come from the old seminary at Troy. The first faculty was made up of five Sulpician Fathers, four diocesan priests and a seminarian, as follows: Very Rev. Edward R. Dyer, S.S., D.D., Rector; Rev. Victor H. Dyer, S.S., Professor of Moral Theology and Canon Law; Rev. Remy Lafort, S.T.L., Professor of Sacred Scripture; Rev. Richard K. Wakeham, S.S., Treasurer; Rev. James Driscoll, S.S., D.D., Professor of Dogmatic Theology and Sacred Music; Rev. WiUiam J. Livingston, A.M., Professor of Church History, Sa cred Eloquence and Liturgy; Rev. Joseph Bruneau, S.S., S.T.L., Professor of Sacred Scripture; Rev. James Fitzsimmons, S.T.B., Professor of Philosophy, Senior Course; Rev. WiUiam Temple, D.D., Professor of Philosophy, Junior Course ; Mr. James E. Cas sidy, A.M., Professor of Physical Sciences. The five Sulpician Fathers were the Rector, Very Rev. Edward R. Dyer, and the Reverend Fathers Marre, Wakeham, Driscoll and Bruneau, all of whom had received their training in the Sulpician novitiate at Issy, France, and had taught previously in other seminaries. They came to Dunwoodie with that piety, learning and training which the founder of the Sulpicians, Father Jean Jacques Olier, had in mind to inculcate when he founded the community for the special work of training men for the holy priesthood. Three of the four diocesan priests. Fathers Lafort, Livingston and Fitzsimmons, had been professors in the Troy seminary. Father Lafort was an alumnus of Louvain and came to Troy shortly after the arrival of the four pioneers, the Very Rev. Louis Vandenhende and Fathers Gabriels, Puissant and Roilants. Fathers Livingston and Fitzsimmons were alumni of Troy who after ordination had been appointed to the faculty of their alma mater. These three priests rendered valuable assistance to the 92 u< w RECTORSHIP OF THE VERY REV. DR. DYER 93 Sulpicians in the early days of Dunwoodie's existence,' and in recognition of this help the Sulpician Fathers, in the booklet pub lished on the occasion of the dedication of the seminary chapel paid them the following tribute: "Owing to the kind and efficient co-operation of Fathers Lafort, Livingston and Fitzsimmons, of the former faculty of Troy, the transition from the old regime to the new was greatly facilitated and made far more pleasant both for their feUow-professors and their former students, of whom there were sixty-seven in the community, than it could otherwise have been." Father Temple belonged to the diocese of Wilmington and had formerly taught at St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore. Mr. Cas sidy was at Dunwoodie preparing for the priesthood and devoted part of his time to the teaching of the physical sciences. The first ordination ceremony in the seminary chapel took place on September 29, the feast of the Dedication of St. Michael. On that day Archbishop Corrigan elevated to Major Orders Messrs. John J. Fullam, Patrick J. Healy, John B. McHugh, WiUiam P. Nixon, Francis J. Prunty and Thomas H. Judge. Dunwoodie gave her first priests to Holy Mother Church on June 24, 1897 when ten of her sons were raised to the altar by Archbishop Corrigan, at St. Patrick's Cathedral and four more at Albany by Bishop Burke. Besides those ordained to the priest hood his Grace elevated two seminarians to the diaconate, thirteen to the subdiaconate and fifteen to Minor Orders. At the close of the year Fathers Lafort and Livingston resigned from the faculty. The former was appointed chaplain of St. Francis' Home, PeekskiU, and Censor Librorum of the archdiocese, in which duties he labored faithfully until his death in 1917. At his obsequies hundreds of his former pupils were present to pay to his mortal remains the tribute of esteem and affection which they had for their former professor. Father Livingston served for a time as chaplain at the House of Good Shepherd and was then appointed pastor of St. Mary's, Newburgh. Later he was appointed pastor of St. Peter's, Poughkeepsie, where he labored until he was promoted to the pastorate of St. Gabriel's Church, New York. In 1920 Archbishop Hayes appointed him a Con- suitor of the archdiocese and in 1921 the Holy Father honored him with the insignia of a Domestic Prelate. ORDINATIOF1897: Brady, James A. (Pastor) ; Cunnion, Austin D. (Deceased) ; Duffy, Francis P. (Pastor, Professor at Dunwoodie, Examiner 94 RECTORSHIP OF THE VERY REV. DR. DYER of Clergy, and Chaplain in U. S.

(Albany, Pastor) ; Meegan, Edward J. (Albany, Deceased); McHugh, John B.; Nixon, WiUiam P. (Pastor); Farrelly, Thomas B.; Prunty, Francis J. (Pastor) ; Tobin, Richard H. (Pastor, Deceased). At the reopening of the seminary in September, 1897, there were present one hundred students. All but six of whom were studying for the archdiocese of New York. One new member was added to the faculty, the Very Reverend A. J. Vuibert, S.S., who succeeded Father Livingston as Professor of History. In May, 1898 a celebration in honor of the Silver Jubilee of Archbishop Corrigan was held. This event was of great impor tance to Dunwoodie for it was the occasion of the clearing off of a debt of $250,000 which stiU remained on the seminary and which his Grace was most anxious to have paid. The loyalty and devotion of the clergy and laity to their beloved Archbishop, in a cause so dear to him, were clearly shown by the fact that during the celebration Bishop Farley, in behalf of the faithful of the archdiocese, presented his Grace with a check for the amount he desired and with which the entire debt of the seminary was can celled. This brought the total amount contributed for the sem inary up to a million dollars, a princely offering in those days. A tablet to commemorate the event was placed in the vestibule of the seminary with this inscription: "St. Joseph's Seminary, Dunwoodie "This tablet has been placed to commemorate the noble generosity of the Most Reverend Archbishop and of the Clergy and Laity of the Diocese, who contributed to the erection of the seminary, and to perpetuate the remembrance of the successful plan of the Right Rev. John M. Farley, V.G., to present the seminary entirely free from debt to His Grace, the Most Reverend Archbishop on the day of his Silver Episcopal Jubilee, May 4th, 1898. "In the Memorial Book of Records of the seminary are in scribed the names and offerings of all, both Clergy and Laity who have contributed to its erection. "Corner stone laid May 17th, 1891. Building blessed, August 12th, 1896." On May 25 there was held at Dunwoodie a meeting that was the beginning of a movement which has since played a very im- RECTORSHIP OF THE VERY REV. DR. DYER 95 portant part in the training of young men for the priesthood. It was the first conference of the presidents of the seminaries of the United States. Representatives from practically every seminary in the country accepted the invitation to attend, which had been sent out by Monsignor Conaty, the rector of the Catholic University, and the chairman of the gathering. An organization was formed, questions pertaining to seminary training were discussed and plans were suggested for securing better coordination and co operation between colleges and seminaries in order that the train ing of seminarians for the priesthood might be all that is desired. Since that time the organization has assumed great importance and has accomplished a great deal in the way of training the clergy of our country. After the meeting the delegates were the guests of Archbishop Corrigan at dinner in the seminary re fectory and the afternoon was spent in inspecting the buildings- and grounds. At the close of the year Father Wakeham departed from Dun woodie and Father Cassidy, who had been Professor of Science, was made Treasurer. ORDINATI OF 1898 Beary, Edward J.

There were four new professors to greet the seminarians on their return. The Rev. Francis P. Duffy, an alumnus of St. Michael's College, Tor- 96 RECTORSHIP OF THE VERY REV. DR. DYER onto, and a member of the first class of Dunwoodie, who had com pleted post graduate work at the Catholic University in Washing ton and had served with distinction as a chaplain at Montauk Point during the Spanish-American War, came to Dunwoodie as Professor of Junior Philosophy. The Rev. Francis P. Havey, of the Sulpician Community, who had taught previously at the Brighton and Baltimore Seminaries, was appointed Professor of History. The Rev. John R. Mahoney, D.D., also a Sulpician, who had been professor in the above mentioned seminaries, was made Professor of Moral Theology. The Rev. John P. McGrath as sumed charge of the science department. Father Driscoll changed courses with Father Bruneau, the former taking the chair of Scripture and the latter that of Dogmatic Theology. There was an ordination this year on September 21, in the seminary chapel, three deacons. Reverends John F. Brady, WiUiam A. Courtney and William F. Hughes being elevated to the priest hood. Father Hughes was sent to Rome to continue his studies and Fathers Brady and Courtney went to the Catholic University at Washington. On the evening of October 15 the deacon class gave an enter tainment in honor of Sister Marie Therese, the head of the do mestic department of the seminary, the occasion being the feast day of the Sister. The event is thus described : "Sister Marie Therese, Sister Servant in charge of the domestic department at the seminary, quietly celebrated her feast day on October 15. During the day many Sisters of Charity and other friends came to pay their respects, and many remained to assist at Benediction given in the afternoon in the beautiful seminary chapel. A choir of seminarians furnished the music which was a most pleasing and devotional feature of the service. In the evening an entertainment and the presentation of a gift for the Sisters' chapel constituted the students' part of the program." Since that time the entertainment has taken place every year and is an indication of the appreciation and esteem of the seminarians for the valuable services which are rendered them during their seminary days by these unselfish and devoted Sisters of Charity. The class of 1885 of Troy Seminary held a reunion at Dun woodie on October 18. A solemn high Mass was sung and a very pleasant day was spent in the new seminary. On November 21 the Feast of the Presentation was celebrated solemnly in the seminary chapel for the first time with Pontifical Mass sung by Bishop Farley, Archbishop Corrigan occupying RECTORSHIP OF THE VERY REV. DR. DYER 97 a throne on the Gospel side of the sanctuary. There were present more than a hundred priests who after the Mass, together with the seminarians in orders, renewed their priestly vows, presenting a candle to his Grace and reciting the "Dominus pars hereditatis meae." The seminary choir under the direction of Father Dris coll sang the Mass. After the ceremony dinner was served and the day was one of great happiness and joy. During this year a number of seminarians who were interested in music formed the "St. Cecilia's Union." A very interesting entertainment which this society gave before the student body is thus noted: "On Tuesday, December Sth, the members of St. Cecilia's Union of the seminary delighted the community with a very pleasing and entertaining musicale. The program, some of the numbers of which were rendered for the first time in America, was carried out in a manner which reflected great credit on the youthful St. Cecilia's Union at Dunwoodie. The two essays which formed the literary features of the program were veritable masterpieces. The orchestra was under the personal direction of Rev. James F. DriscoU, S.S." Dunwoodie took a prominent part in the triduum in honor of the canonization of John Baptist de la Salle which occurred this year. With the exception of the jubilee celebration of Archbishop Corrigan, no series of religious exercises held in St. Patrick's Cathedral had assumed such magnificent proportions as this solemn triduum. From its opening until its close the cathedral was thronged with devout worshippers. The Apostolic Delegate, Mgr. Martinelli; Archbishops Corrigan and Ryan, and Bishops Farley, McDonnell, Quigley, Brondel and Gabriels were in the sanctuary at the Mass. At the conclusion of the Triduum, most of the distinguished visitors came to inspect the new seminary at Dunwoodie and many of them addressed the seminarians. On April 28 Dunwoodie was honored by the visit of a party of South American bishops who were touring North America. They were wonderfully impressed with the new seminary and its surroundings. Two of the members of the faculty retired at the end of the year. Father McGrath was forced to resign on account of poor health, and he has since been called to his eternal reward. Father Cassidy went to Fall River, his own diocese, to take up parish work. After many years of distinguished service he was made 98 RECTORSHIP OF THE VERY REV. DR. DYER pastor of St. Patrick's Church and Vicar-General of the Fall River diocese. He has also received from the Holy Father the title of Monsignor as a reward for his labors.

Dunwoodie's fourth year began with eighty-seven students for the Archdiocese of New York and twenty-five for other dioceses. Three additions were made to the faculty at the beginning of this year. Rev. John F. Brady, a graduate of St. Francis Xavier's College, New York, and an alumnus of Dunwoodie of the class of 1898, became Professor of Science. He had done post-gradu ate work at the Catholic University and, as he had received the degree of M.D. before beginning his studies for the priesthood, his services to the seminary were very valuable. Rev. Thomas J. Lynch was appointed Treasurer of the seminary and Father Wakeham, after an absence of two years, returned as Professor of Church History and Homiletics. September 29 and 30, the students were permitted to review the Dewey parade in the Metropolis. The hero of Mamla Bay was accorded a royal welcome on his return to New York and among RECTORSHIP OF THE VERY REV. DR. DYER 99 his most enthusiastic admirers were the seminarians from Dun woodie. It was in this year that Mr. John Murphy came to Dun woodie. Almost twenty-five classes of seminarians have come and gone and Mr. Murphy is on hand each September with the same loyalty to Dunwoodie and the same respect for the seminarian and the priest. The consecration of the seminary chapel, on April 19, 1900, was one of the big days of Dunwoodie's history. The munificent generosity of the clergy and people in liquidating the debt on the seminary for the Silver Jubilee of Archbishop Corrigan had cleared the way for the event just before his departure for his jubilee visit to Rome. This chapel, the cost of which was $100,000, was the personal gift of his Grace. The Rector of the seminary, Father Dyer, was the celebrant of the Mass. This was a fitting conclusion to the monumental task the Archbishop had undertaken of erect ing the seminary and consecrating its chapel to the service of the Lord. Dinner was served after Mass and among the speakers were Bishop Ludden, Bishop Farley and the Rev. Dr. P. J. Mc Sweeney, rector of St. Brigid's, who delivered the address of the clergy. That his Grace had ever been zealous and hard-work ing, he said, was testified by the large number of churches and schools which had been built in the archdiocese, and that in every month during his administration at least two buildings, either a church, a school, or a religious institution, had been erected in the archdiocese. In a short reply the Archbishop declared that it was the priests of the archdiocese who deserved the praise, for it was they who did the work and without their aid he would have been unable to accomplish anything. At this dinner his Grace announced that he had left to the seminary library his insurance which represented his last financial asset and which would bring to the library an income of $1,000 a year.

At the beginning in September there were one hundred and thirty-five students, one hundred for service in New York. Jo seph C. Herrick, Ph.D., a graduate of Johns Hopkins University, was appointed in September to teach Natural Science. He had made a splendid record at Johns Hopkins and came to Dun woodie well equipped for his task, which was no light one, for he was a student preparing for the priesthood while serving as a professor. Father Fitzsimmons was this year transferred to the chair of Junior Moral Theology while Father Duffy was made Professor of Senior Philosophy with Father Brady as Professor of Junior Philosophy. It was in October of this year that the "Homiletic Monthly," a magazine for priests, was started at Dunwoodie. Father Brady was appointed editor and several of the members of the faculty were most frequent contributors. Under the able manage ment of Father Brady the magazine has flourished and has been of invaluable assistance to the clergy throughout the English- speaking world.

The seminary opened in September with one hundred and fifty- one students, one hundred and five for New York. Among the new members of the faculty this year was the Rev. Patrick A. RECTORSHIP OF THE VERY REV. DR. DYER 101 Beecher of Ireland, who was appointed by the Archbishop to the chair of Homiletics and English. He came to Dunwoodie with a high reputation as a preacher and an English scholar and he did not fall short of the expectation. The Rev. John F. Fenlon, D.D., a member of the Sulpician community, who had received his train ing at Issy and the Catholic University, came to teach Scripture in place of Dr. Driscoll who went to Washington for the year. On account of the ever increasing Italian population, the Arch bishop appointed the Rev. Pasquale Maltese and the Rev. Mardiroz Mighirian to train the seminarians in Italian which was now made compulsory. Another addition to the faculty was the Rev. Francis Lavelle who during this year taught pastoral theology and the history of philosophy. Father Havey was appointed director of philosophy to succeed Dr. Driscoll in that office. The blessing of the statue of the Blessed Virgin on the Recrea tion Grounds took place on April 30. The sermon on this occasion was preached by Rev. Francis P. Duffy. A procession and the illumination of the statue followed the sermon. Each evening after the Angelus during the month of May the student body assembles before the statue and sings two verses of a hymn to Mary, concluding with the invocation Causa Nostrae Laetitiae, Ora Pro Nobis. The first annual baseball game between the priests and the seminarians was played this spring. The students defeated the priests' team by the score of 20 to 1. This became an annual event that met with the most popular support from the students. The seminary suffered a severe loss this year in the death of the beloved Archbishop Corrigan which occurred on the evening of May 5, 1902. His death was a grave loss to the diocese over which he ruled and to the whole Church in America, but no where was it more keenly felt than in the seminary at Dunwoodie, of which he was the founder, patron and guide. A solemn Mass of Requiem was offered for the repose of his soul early on the morning of May 6 before the sleeping miUions of New York were aware of his death. On May 8, the students" went to the Cathedral where they chanted the office for the dead and on the foUowing morning they assisted at the solemn Pontifical Mass of Requiem. A month's mind Requiem Mass was offered at the seminary at which almost one hundred priests were present. The eulogy was delivered by Father Wakeham. The following tribute was paid to the great Archbishop : "Of the many titles he possessed to the lasting and grateful remembrance of future generations of American Catholics, prob- 102 RECTORSHIP OF THE VERY REV. DR. DYER ably the most striking was his persistent zeal in the cause of Catholic eduction. In the matter of priestly education, his zeal for learning and religion was intensified by his great love for his priests, his deep personal interest in their welfare, and his intense desire that they should be worthy of their high calling. None of the many important duties of his exalted position appealed to him more strongly than that of training a learned, cultured and pious body of priests to minister to the Catholic people. His plans were matured in the most broad-minded and far-sighted spirit, and were carried into execution with triumphant success by the cooperation of a generous clergy and laity whom he had imbued with his own spirit and zeal. But the most active of his assistants in the work will acknowledge that it is to his clear mind and strong will and unceasing labor that is due the realization of the hopes and dreams of Catholic educators in the buUding and equipment of a model seminary. "Such was his personal share in every detail of the work that those who knew him best find in the structure and arrangements of the seminary striking indications of his character. The com bination of simplicity and strength which formed his most strik ing characteristic is evident in the seminary ; his love of thorough ness and attention to detail are shown by the fact that no part of the building, from basement to attic, has been slighted or neglected; his kindness and thoughtf ulness are manifest in the arrangements made for the sick; his broad-mindedness, in the opening of the whole library to the students without reserve; his refinement of character, in the encouragement of everything that tends to refine without effeminating; his willingness to accept the best results of a modern invention, in his adoption of all the latest methods and improvements ; and his intense devotion to religion and strict ad herence to its observances, in the construction and equipment of the chapel of the seminary. "As for his generosity, it is beyond showing or telling. He de frayed from his private fortune the entire cost of the beautiful chapel ; he would allow no one to contribute as much as a window or a statue to it, it was to be his own contribution to the work. and it certainly is a worthy one, a monument to his generosity and piety. He considered the library as, after the chapel, a second powerhouse of the institution. He contributed to it at the begin ning the Preston and Magoon collections, and, from his frequent benefactions, it was evidently much in his mind. On the happy occasion when, in presence of two hundred and fifty of his priests. RECTORSHIP OF THE VERY REV. DR. DYER 103 he was able to consecrate the seminary chapel, he presented a paid- up life insurance policy of $10,000 to endow the library. "His interest in the seminary was not merely that of a muni ficent builder or financial patron. It extended to every man within its walls and to every detail of its management. Though he followed in this matter, as in all his dealings with his priests, his wise policy of confidence in the men appointed to a duty, his interest in the affairs of the seminary was evinced in numerous ways. All matters of importance in the management of the in stitution were submitted to him, and, though he rarely made modifications in matters on which the faculty had a definite settlement to propose, his quick appreciation, his deep interest, his hearty sympathy with every plan for betterment, made it a pleasure as well as a duty to consult him. "There is a certain sad pleasure in knowing that the seminary was in his thoughts until the last. On the evening of his death, as his brother was leaving his room, he called him back to ask him to look over the plans for the contemplated addition to thfe seminary building. It was indeed appropriate that the active mind and energetic will which had been busied so long in the service of religion should be occupied even to the time of death with plans for further labors and sacrifices in the service of God and human ity to which this institution is dedicated. "He had frequently expressed to those intimate with him his intention that, when the burden of years should come upon him, if it were God's will that he should grow old in the service, he would delegate the more onerous of his duties and would himself retire to his beloved seminary, there to spend his remaining years in peace and prayer among the quiet surroundings of this restful spot. Imagination dwells with pleasure and regret over this un- reaHzed plan. For him it would have brought, after a life of toil and struggle, a measure of that peace and recollection so agree able to his natural disposition. The directors of the seminary would have had the strength of his presence, the help of his strong, well- stored mind, his deep knowledge of human nature and of life, his fine Catholic spirit, and the charm of association with this un obtrusive, kindly man of God. The future generation of priests would derive the advantage of knowing, by personal intercourse, the kindness which they can now know only by his deeds of generosity, and of having before their eyes in the venerable priest and prelate a model of study, of prayer, of confidence in God, of humility and simplicity of life and character which no loftiness of position had power to change. 104 RECTORSHIP OF THE VERY REV. DR. DYER "It has been ordered otherwise. He has been caUed away from us in the height of his power for good. We accept the decree of God with sadnsss, but with that confidence in His Providence which was the comfort and support of the departed. It is a solace to be able to think that he is receiving, in a measure which no place on earth could give, the only true refreshment, light and peace; and that by his prayers to the great High Priest in heaven, he can still help us more than he could by his continued presence to ac quire the virtues he manifested, and to carry on the work he began for the formation of the Christian priesthood and the upbuilding of the Church of God." At the close of the year Father Dyer was appointed Superior of the Sulpician community in the United States to succeed the Very Rev. Abbe Magnien, who had been called to his reward. Father Dyer had formed the Dunwoodie spirit and had guided the sem inary in those early days when the training of the future priests was under critical observation. He had established the founda tion firmly and the intellectual and spiritual edifice had developed along right lines. It was with deep regret that the alumni and seminarians saw him depart for his new home in Baltimore. A farewell reception was given to him and the prayers and good wishes of all followed him in his new field. ORDINATI OF 1902 Byrne, John J.; Cherry, Joseph B. (Pastor) ; Conaty, Peter P.

J. F. Driscoll, D.D. (1902-1909) 1902-1903 The first year of the new administration began in September, 1902 with one hundred and fifty-five students. One hundred and twelve of this number were preparing to labor in the archdiocese. No more popular or fitting successor to Father Dyer could have been chosen than the Very Rev. James F. Driscoll, D.D., who was appointed as rector at the opening of this year. The news of his appointment was received with great satisfaction and joy by the faculty, the Alumni and the student body. Father Driscoll had been a member of Dunwoodie's professorial staff since its opening in 1896 with the exception of the year 1901-02. He had served as Professor of Dogma and Scripture and in addition had been the director of the philosophy department. Father Maltese had resigned from the faculty during the pre ceding summer. He has since been an active and zealous pastor of an Italian congregation. The new class of Junior Dogma was started this year and Father Beecher was appointed its first pro fessor. The faculty register at the opening of Dr. DriscoU's regime as president contained the following names : Very Rev. James F. DriscoU, S.S., D.D., President, Professor of Semitic Languages; Rev. Richard Wakeman, S.S., Vice-President, Professor of Sacred Scripture and History; Rev. Thomas J. Lynch, S.T.B., Treasurer, Professor of Italian ; Rev. Joseph Bru neau, S.S., S.T.L., Professor of Dogmatic Theology and French ; Rev. Francis P.

James Fitzsimmons, S.T.B. , Professor of Moral Theology; Rev. Patrick A. Beecher, Professor of Dog matic Theology and Homiletics ; Rev. John F. Fenlon, S.S., D.D., Professor of Scripture and Hebrew; Rev. Francis E. Lavelle, Professor of Liturgy and Italian; Rev. Mardiroz Mighirian, Pro fessor of ItaHan; Rev. Francis P. Duffy, S.T.B., Professor of 105 106 RECTORSHIP OF THE VERY REV. DR. DRISCOLL Philosophy; Rev. John F. Brady, M.D., Professor of Philosophy; Joseph C. Herrick, Ph.D., Professor of Science. On the Feast of St. Joseph, March 19 the music at the High Mass in the chapel was rendered by St. Anne's Academy choir and orchestra. It was splendidly done and the youthful per formers were the recipients of many congratulations from the seminarians. At the end of the year the seminary lost two of its professors. Fathers Lavelle and Mighirian. The former served as an assistant at St. Gabriel's and Our Lady of Good Council, New York, and was then appointed pastor of the Church of the Immaculate Conception at Amenia, New York, where he is still ministering. The latter was appointed to work among his own people with headquarters at St. Stephen's, New York and he has since been doing missionary work among his flock. ORDINATI OF 1903 Byrne, John J.

The new scholastic year began with one hundred and fifty-eight students, of whom one hundred and twenty were for New York. Rev. Gabriel Oussani, Ph.D., a native of Bagdad and a graduate of the Propaganda in Rome, came to Dunwoodie this year as Profes sor of Archaeology and Italian. He had made post-graduate course at Johns Hopkins University where he had also been instruc- RECTORSHIP OF THE VERY REV. DR. DRISCOLL 107 tor in Oriental studies. The Rev. George Harig, a member of the Sulpician Community, who had taught for many years at St. Charles' College, EUicott City, Maryland, was appointed to Junior PhUosophy as successor to Father Brady, who had been transferred to Junior Dogma. On February 25, 1903, Father Fitzsimmons, the last remaining member of the Trojan faculty, resigned his chair and was appointed pastor at Dobbs Ferry, and later pro moted to the rectorship of the new parish of St. Gregory, in New York. After many years of faithful service as a professor and pastor he was called to his reward in 1918. In addition to his course in philosophy Father Duffy during this year filled the vacancy in Junior Moral caused by the withdrawal of Father Fitzsimmons. An event of no small importance to Dunwoodie was the open ing of Cathedral College by his Grace, Archbishop Farley, in September. The new college was to be the preparatory seminary of the diocese, and its students on graduation were to enter Dunwoodie. The present Archbishop of New York, the Most Rev. Patrick J. Hayes, D.D., was appointed the first president of the college. As an indication of the services rendered to the diocese it is a matter of interest to note that of the 492 graduates 140 are now ordained. In the years to come an ever increasing number of young men carefully formed and equipped in the intellectual and spiritual atmosphere of the college will continue to fill Dunwoodie with aspirants to the Holy Priesthood. Fathers Havey, Fenlon and Beecher left Dunwoodie when the scholastic year closed. Father Havey was promoted to the rector ship of St. John's Seminary at Brighton. He had served Dun woodie as Professor of History and Director of the Philosophy Department and his departure caused deep sorrow and regret. But Dunwoodie's loss was Brighton's gain. During his years as president, St. John's flourished and he was beloved by both priests and seminarians. On the departure of the Sulpicians from Brighton he was made superior of the new Sulpician novitiate at Washington, and Professor at St. Mary's, Baltimore. Father Fenlon was assigned to the chair of Scripture at St. Mary's, Bal timore, and was afterwards promoted to the Presidency of Divinity Hall at the CathoHc University. Father Beecher received an appointment as Professor of Sacred Eloquence at Maynooth, where he is still making a brilliant record as a preacher and pro fessor. Father Siebenfoercher of Cincinnati lectured at the seminary this year and organized the total abstinence society among the 108 RECTORSHIP OF THE VERY REV. DR. DRISCOLL seminarians. One of the students was elected president and one of the faculty was made director. The foundation was laid and the organization is still in a flourishing condition at Dunwoodie.

Four additions to the faculty greeted the student body at the opening of this year. The Rev. Francis H. Gigot, S. S., came from Baltimore to take the chair of Sacred Scripture. He was the author of several scriptural works and had taught for many years at Brighton Seminary and at St. Mary's in Baltimore. The Rev. William Hughes, D. D., who was an alumnus of Dunwoodie and a graduate of the American CoUege at Rome, came as Pro fessor of Church History. Since his ordination he had been engaged in parochial work in the busy parish of the Immaculate Conception, New York. The Rev. Timothy Holland, S. S., RECTORSHIP OF THE VERY REV. DR. DRISCOLL 109 S. T. L., also a Dunwoodie alumnus, who had joined the Sul picians, was assigned to teach Junior Moral. He had made his preparations at the CathoHc University and at the Sulpician No vitiate at Issy, France. The fourth new member was the Rev. James Veit, an alumnus of Dunwoodie, who came as an assistant to Father Lynch. Father Bruneau succeeded Father Havey as Director of the Philosophy Department. The Degree of Doctor of Divinity was during this year con ferred by the faculty of St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore, on three members of the faculty, Rev. Joseph Bruneau, S. S., Rev. John F. Brady and Rev. Francis P. Duffy. The honors were well merited and reflected credit on both the bestower and the recipients. It was at the close of this year that the Nezu York Review was first published. For the following three years it continued to be published every month. With the June, 1908, number the Neiv York Review ceased publication. The erection of a Grotto like to that of Lourdes took place this year. Under the direction of Father Bruneau an aperture was chiseled in the rock in the "Woods." A statue of Our Lady of Lourdes was placed in the niche and electrical equipment was installed by Dr. Herrick. At the unveiling of the statue the seminarians marched down in procession and sang the Pilgrim's "Ave Maria" as at Lourdes. The statue was then blessed and a sermon appropriate to the occasion was preached by Father Fitz simmons. Every evening during the month of May, the statue was illuminated and a pilgrimage to the shrine was made by the students. Among the visitors to Dunwoodie this year were Monsignor Agius, Apostolic Delegate to the Philippine Islands and Abbe Klein, the distinguished French scholar. On the return of the latter to Europe he published a book, entitled "The Land of the Strenuous Life," which he dedicated to President Roosevelt. In this he says of his visit to Dunwoodie: "I had intended to spend my last few days in New York divided between the Dunwoodie Seminary and the PauHsts' House; for from both places came most hospitable invitations. But I found that to make the seminary my headquarters would mean spending half my time on the cars whenever I went to visit the city; so I remained at Dunwoodie but a couple of days. It was with real regret that I gave up the company of the Sulpicians, who, as I have already noted with regard to their seminary in Baltimore, know so well how to combine the advantages of both French and 110 RECTORSHIP OF THE VERY REV. DR. DRISCOLL American methods of training. Their traditions of learning and of solid piety are here embodied in the Superior Father James Driscoll, one of my fellow-students in Paris ; in Father Bruneau, a great French exegete; in fact, in aU the professors with whom I came in contact. The magnificently constructed Dunwoodie Seminary might well recall the Sulpician Institution at Issy, near Paris, if it were situated elsewhere than in the heart of the open country, near Yonkers. As in external likeness, so in the spirit of the institution, the resemblance at first sight is so great that one seems to be back again in France. But upon a closer obser vation, many differences are noted, a natural consequence of the change of environment. For example, how surprised our semi narians would be if they could see the gymnasium, with its com plete equipment of all that pertains to physical development ; or the lecture rooms, where the leading Catholic periodicals and newspapers can be freely consulted ; or the manner in which the American students indulge in their favorite sports. "I made no inquiry as to the curriculum ; but to judge from the programmes and the authors, there was no great difference be tween it and those of France. Nevertheless be it said, without the least wish to reflect on the traditional spirit from which they re ceive their inspirations, that the topics are very well adapted to present needs. In the second year of the course in philosophy, for example, I was well pleased to see the studies indicated in these terms : 'Origin of the Universe' ; 'Spontaneous Generation' ; 'The Materialistic View of Life' ; 'Periodic Evolution' ; 'Trans formation' ; 'Descent of Man' ; 'Monistic Evolution' ; 'Is Evolution Admissible ?' 'Distinction Between Man and the Brute.' " At the end of the year Father Harig was transferred to St. Charles' College, Maryland, and later assigned to St. Patrick's Seminary, Menlo Park, California, where he is now teaching. Father Veit resigned as Assistant Treasurer and was appointed Chaplain of the Leo House and later pastor of the Church of the Assumption, New York.

The following were also members of this class : Cuneen, Michael A.; Flynn, Edward J.; Plunkett, John F. 1905-1906 The scholastic year of nineteen hundred and five began with one hundred and twenty-seven students. Only eight of these were for outside dioceses. It was during this year that the semi nary reverted from the control of the Sulpician Fathers to that of the archdiocesan authorities. Fathers Driscoll, Wakeham, Mahoney and Gigot withdrew from the Sulpicians and became affiliated with the Archdiocese of New York, while Father Holland later returned to his native diocese of Ogdensburg. Father Bruneau remained with the Sulpicians and was assigned to Balti more, where he is Professor of Dogma and Director of Philosophers. In the actual seminary routine the change at that time was scarcely perceptible, as the same rector and faculty continued, with the exception of Father Bruneau, who was succeeded in the chair of Dogma by Father Brady. Father Holland succeeded Father Brady as Professor of Junior Dogma, while Father Dris coU taught Junior Moral. The Rev. Norman Holly, who had received a special training in the Isle of Wight in Plain Chant, was assigned as Director of Liturgical Music. Father Duffy became professor of both Junior and Senior Philosophy. The Jubilee celebration in honor of the Rev. Richard Wakeham who had completed twenty-five years in the priesthood took place on December 18, in the form of a reception by the student body and the presentation of a set of resolutions which were framed and hung in the Faculty Room. 112 RECTORSHIP OF THE VERY REV.

A holiday was granted the student body in honor of the occasion. The Rev. Francis X. Albert, Ph.D., an alumnus of Dunwoodie, who had joined the Sulpicians, was recalled to the seminary and assigned to the chair of Old Testament Scripture and made Direc tor of Plain Chant. He had made a special course of preparation at the Catholic University and was awarded the Doctorate of Philosophy. Dr. Albert later made further Biblical studies at Rome. It was during this year that one of the most important events RECTORSHIP OF THE VERY REV. DR. DRISCOLL 113 in Catholic educational circles took place, the publication of "The Catholic Encyclopedia." under the direction of an eminent Catho lic scholar, Dr. Charles G. Herbermann, as Editor-in-Chief with the Rev. Doctors Thomas J. Shahan and E. A. Pace of the Catho lic University ; Dr. Conde B. Fallen and the Rev. John J. Wynne, S.J., editor of the Messenger, as Associate Editors. It was a splendid enterprise and shed glory on all those who had a part in it. In this great work the faculty of Dunwoodie, under the lead ership of Doctor Driscoll, took a prominent part, as is attested by this statement of Father Wynne, delivered at Dunwoodie and later published in a pamphlet entitled "Encyclopedia Day at Dun woodie" : "In the early days of our labors, men like Doctors Driscoll, Gigot and Oussani, were only too ready at all times to aid us and with the greatest pleasure. I remember that many a time when we were left in the lurch, good Father Gigot sacrificed his time, and his vacations in some instances, in order to supply what was incomparably better than anything we would have received from other contributors. There was a time when there was serious thought of having a supplementary board of directors at Dun woodie. There were practical difficulties in the way, but there were never any difficulties in the way of professors, such as Father Gigot and Father Oussani, coming to our aid, and coming to our aid in a most valuable manner." That the Seminarians might cultivate a love for Church music, permission was granted to attend a rendition of Gounod's oratorio "The Redemption" given under the auspices of the Catholic Ora torio Society. At the close of the year Father Holly returned to England and later joined the Benedictine community at Caldey where he now resides. ORDINATI OF 1907 Barry, Thomas J.; Bona, Thomas P.

This additional space was made necessary by the rapid increase in numbers. It furnished fifty new rooms and increased the capacity of the house to two hundred individual rooms for students. It was a matter of splen did foresight that these rooms were built larger than the original rooms, as it soon became necessary to use them for double rooms, on account of the continued increase of students. It is a matter of interest to note that on December 25 of this year the seminary closed until January 4. This was a departure from the former custom of giving no vacation until the mid year in February. The new order commended itself to aU and was very much appreciated by the seminarians. The Easter va cation was also a departure from the former custom of granting only two days. To the regular vacation of a week a few extra days were granted on the centenary celebration. At the close of this year Father Albert was given a year's leave of absence, to take up post-graduate work at Rome. This was the only change in the faculty this year. ORDINATI OF 1908.

The new wing made it possible for so many outsiders to take advantage of the seminary training at Dun woodie. The Rev. George Dean, a graduate of St. Charles' Col lege and an alumnus of Dunwoodie, was appointed assistant treas urer of the Seminary. He had served for many years at the Immaculate Conception parish and his business training before his seminary days well equipped him for his new office. The centenary celebration of the creation of the diocese of New York took place during this year. It was an event in which Dun woodie took a prominent part. On April 28, the celebration opened in St. Patrick's Cathedral with a Solemn Mass at which the Archbishop of New York preached. Next morning there was held in every parish of the archdiocese a special Mass for the children. The festivities culminated on April 30 in the Solemn Pontifical Mass celebrated by Cardinal Logue. At this function were present his Excellency, Monsignor Diomede Falconio, the Apostolic Delegate; Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore; forty Archbishops and Bishops; one hundred monsignori; eight hundred priests; and one hundred and forty seminarians from Dunwoodie. Besides participation in all the historical events, the seminary was honored by visits from practically all of the prelates. The Apostolic Delegate and Cardinal Logue addressed the student body, the latter terminating his remarks with the announcement of 116 RECTORSHIP OF THE VERY REV. DR. DRISCOLL a "week of idle days" which met with a hearty response of approval from the seminarians. The Seminary was honored during the year by visits from Arch bishop Kelly of Australia; Bishop McSherry, Vicar Apostolic of Cape Town; and Bishop Benziger of India. At the end of the year Father Hughes was made Secretary to the ApostoHc Legation at Washington and Father Holland was appointed a pastor in the Ogdensburg diocese. ORDINATI OF 1909 Abbott, Joseph V.

John P. Chidwick, D.D. (1909-1910) When tiie Rev. John P. Chidwick, D.D., became rector in Sep tember in 1909 there were one hundred and sixty-five students in the seminary, of these one hundred and twenty-three were for New York. Doctor Driscoll and Father Chidwick exchanged places, the former being appointed pastor of St. Ambrose's Church, New York, and the latter coming to Dunwoodie. The new Presi dent, an alumnus of Manhattan CoUege, had been ordained at St. Joseph's Seminary, Troy. After his ordination he served as an assistant at St. Stephen's, New York, until his appointment as Chaplain in the United States Navy. His heroism on the occasion of the sinking of the battleship Maine in Havana Harbor, on February 15, 1898, was heralded throughout the world and reflect ed the highest credit on the priesthood and the flag. In 1904 he was appointed pastor of St. Ambrose's Church, New York, and shortiy after was made chaplain of the New York police force, which position he held until his appointment to Dunwoodie. Four additional professors were appointed to the seminary at the time of the advent of the new rector, the Rev. Francis X. Albert, Ph.D., who had been Professor of Sacred Scripture during the Scholastic year, 1906-1907, and who later went to Rome to continue his Scripture studies, returned to assist Dr. Giget in the department of Sacred Scripture. The Rev. John J. Mitty, D.D., who came to teach Senior Dogma, was an alumnus of Manhattan College and was ordained from Dunwoodie in December, 1906. He had made post-graduate studies at Washington and Rome and then for a year had served as assistant pastor of St. Veronica's Church, New York. The Rev. Arthur J. Scanlan, D.D., an alumnus of St. Francis Xavier's College of New York and St. Joseph's College, Philadelphia, who was ordained from Dunwoodie in July, 1907, became Professor of Philosophy. In preparation for this work he had made a two years' post graduate course in Washington and a year's course in the Eternal City. He had also served as an assistant at Livingston Manor, at PeekskiU and St. Cecelia's, New York. The fourth professor who came to Dunwoodie with the new 117 118 RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK rector was the Rev. Robert Mulcahey, D.D., also a graduate of St. Francis Xavier's College and who had finished his philosophy course at Dunwoodie in 1904. He was selected for the American College, Rome, where he received his doctorate in 1909, and he had served as an assistant at St. John the Evangelist's, New York City, before coming to the seminary. The faculty, which since the departure of the Sulpicians in 1906, had been reduced in numbers, was now complete, and it is rather interesting to note that the four new members were alumni of Dunwoodie who had been given splendid opportunities in post graduate work in the Universities of Rome and Washington. The list of professors with their subjects was as follows : Very Rev. John P. Chidwick, President and Professor of Pas toral Theology; Rev. Richard K. Wakeham, Vice-President and Professor of History and Homiletics; Rev. Francis E. Gigot, D.D., New Testament and Hebrew ; Rev. John R. Mahoney, D.D., Moral Theology and Canon Law; Rev. Francis P. Duffy, D.D., Psychology and English; Rev. John Brady, D.D., Sacramental Theology and Liturgy; Rev. Thomas Lynch, S.T.L., Treasurer; Rev. George Dean, A.B., Asst. Treasurer; Rev. Gabriel Oussani, Ph.D., Church History and Archeology; Rev. Joseph C. Her rick, Ph.D., Biology and Experimental Psychology; Rev. Francis X. Albert, D.D., Old Testament and Plain Chant; Rev. John J. Mitty, D.D., Dogmatic Theology; Rev. Arthur J. Scanlan, D.D., Philosophy ; and Rev. Robert Mulcahy, D.D., Dogmatic Theology. At the opening of the year a special meeting of the Faculty was called to express the esteem and appreciation of the members of the faculty for the departing Rector, Dr. Driscoll. The following excerpt is taken from the minutes of the meeting : "A special meeting of the faculty of St. Joseph's Seminary, Dunwoodie, New York, was held Sunday, September 5. At the suggestion of his Grace, the Most Rev. Archbishop, a motion made by the Rev. John P. Chidwick and seconded by the Rev. Francis P. Duffy, was unanimously carried, to the effect that a set of reso lutions be presented to the Rev. James F. Driscoll, D.D., expressing the high appreciation entertained of his services while President of St. Joseph's Seminary, by his Grace, the Most Reverend Arch bishop, and the faculty, their love for him as a man and model priest and their prayers for his successful future as pastor of the important parish of St. Ambrose, New York City." Father Duffy was selected to draft the resolution and a com mittee of three, consisting of Father Chidwick, President of the seminary; Father Wakeham, vice-president, and Father Gigot, RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK 119 Professor of Sacred Scripture, was appointed to wait upon Dr. Driscoll and present him with the resolutions. At a later meeting held on September 12, his Grace the Archbishop being present, the foUowing resolutions were read and unanimously adopted. The meeting also decided that they should be handsomely engrossed and presented to Dr. Driscoll : "Whereas, in order to devote his energies to other fields of priestly labor, during November last he tendered his resignation of the presidency of the seminary, which was accepted by his Grace, the Archbishop, only at the close of the scholastic year. "Be it resolved : that the Archbishop with the rector and faculty, hereby tender him their thanks for the loyal and efficient services which he has rendered in this seminary to the cause of priestly training; their appreciation of him as a distinguished scholar and teacher, a wise and kindly ruler, a man equally loved and revered by students, faculty and superiors, and especiaUy as a priest who has been in his actions a model of the sacerdotal virtues which he has preached; and their hopes and prayers that in the wide and responsible sphere of influence which he now occupies he will accomplish even greater things than in the past for the upbuilding of the Church of God." A seminarian whose arrival aroused no little interest at the opening of the year was Brother Paul James Francis (Louis Wal- son), who entered the seminary to prepare for the priesthood. He had been the superior of the Protestant Episcopal society at Gra5mioor and had with his entire community been converted to CathoHcism during the previous year. A delegation representing the student body visited Father Dris coU on October 20 and presented him with a handsome gold watch, the gift of the community. It was to serve as a token of their esteem and a memorial of his work at the seminary. Solemn High Mass was celebrated in the chapel on December 1 in memory of Mother Seton. It was a special tribute paid by the community to the founder of the Sisters of Charity. Her religious were serving Dunwoodie well and faithfully. Archbishop Farley conferred the degree of doctor of divinity upon Father Chidwick at the seminary. The faculty and student body accorded the Rector a reception in honor of the new title and dignity which he so well merited. The first annual field day took place at Dunwoodie in April of this year. So successful was it that every year since then has seen a continuance of a custom which is so conducive to the development of the physical life of the future priest. 120 RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK On May 4 the choir, two deacons and a member of the faculty, following a long established custom, went to the Corpus Christi Monastery of the Dominican Sisters at Hunt's Point where a solemn Mass was sung. These cloistered religious were established in the diocese by Archbishop Corrigan to offer their prayers for the seminarians at Dunwoodie. In their little chapel at Hunt's Point the Blessed Sacrament is perpetuaUy exposed. It is as a token of appreciation of their work that every May, Mass is sung for them by the choir of the seminary.

Thirty-five of these were preparing to labor in out side dioceses. The only change in the faculty during the year 1910 was the addition of the Rev. Edwin J. Ryan, D.D., an alumnus of St. Francis Xavier's New York and of Dunwoodie, from which institution he was ordained in 1905. In preparation for his course in history he made post graduate studies at the Catholic University and Rome. Before coming to Dunwoodie he had served as an assistant at St. Mary's Church, Yonkers. The great event of this scholastic year was the participation of RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK 121 the seminarians in the ceremonies attending the consecration of St. Patrick's Cathedral, which took place this year. Archbishop Far ley having succeeded in accomplishing the liquidation of the debt of $850,000. This event was hardly less memorable than the centennial celebration two years earlier. Once more the Holy Father was personally represented this time by Cardinal Vincenzo Vannutelli. Once more, too, the Cardinal Archbishop of Armagh visited New York. The Apostolic Delegate Mgr. Falconio (created Cardinal the following year,) was again present. The gathering also included the Cardinal Archbishop of Baltimore and at least one-fourth of the Hierarchy of the United States, besides several bishops from Mexico and Canada, and was witnessed by an immense assemblage. At the end of the Mass the Archbishop made an address welcoming Cardinal Vannutelli, to which his Eminence replied, congratulating both Archbishop and people upon the achievement which made this function permissible. The sermon was preached by the Most Rev. John J. Glennon, Arch bishop of St. Louis. The seminarians were present and took an active part in most of the ceremonies and in addition had the privilege of seeing and listening to most of the great digni taries who came to see the seminary at Dunwoodie. The cheers which greeted the announcement of three holidays by the personal representative of the Holy Father, Cardinal Vannutelli, rever berated from every nook and corner of the seminary. It was also in this year that the Diocesan Synod took place, a matter of no little interest and importance to Dunwoodie. In fulfillment of a promise made by Monsignor John Edwards, a special dinner was served to the seminarians on the arrival from a visit to Europe of the assistant treasurer Father Dean. During the dinner the Reverend Rector thanked the Monsignor for his munificence and thoughtfulness. Monsignor Edwards in reply stated that he hoped his example would be followed by the other priests of the diocese and in fact he dared them to do as he had done. The anthem of the seminarians was "So say we aU of us." ORDINATI OF 1911 Breslin, Charles D. ; Clark, Bernard H. ; Cavanagh, Martin F. (New York Apostolate) ; Dineen, Aloysius C. (Chaplain, U. S.

The year saw the departure of Father Lynch who had served as treasurer for twelve years. He left to found the Catholic Protective Society, in which field his efforts have met with the same splendid results as they had at Dunwoodie. In addition to his labors in this fruitful vineyard he was later ap pointed pastor of Holy Innocents Church, New York City. Father Dean, who had been assistant treasurer succeeded to the office. The only addition to the faculty was that of the Rev. Thomas G. Carroll, D.D., to teach philosophy during the absence of Father Scanlan, who was taking up post-graduate work in Rome. Dr. Carroll was a Alumnus of St. Charles' College who had made his studies in philosophy at Dunwoodie. He was then selected to go to the American College, Rome, from which he was ordained in 1911. He came to Dunwoodie from the parish of St. Francis de Sales where he had been an assistant. In October it was officially announced that Archbishops Far ley, Falconio and O'Connell were raised to the Cardinalate. The news was received with great joy at Dunwoodie. On November 14, on the Archbishop's departure for Rome to be invested as a prince of the Church, Mass was offered for his safe return. On December 1 the Cardinal forwarded a cablegram to Dunwoodie conferring his blessing on the faculty, student body and Sisters. The following description of the ceremony at the Vatican gives an indication of the splendor of the occasion : "On the twenty-seventh of November, 1911, Pius X, in the hall of the Consistories presented the bireta and mozetta to John Far ley, Cardinal Priest of the Title of Santa Maria sopra Minerva. In the same group of newly elevated princes of the Church were RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK 123 Archbishop Falconio, former Delegate Apostolic in the United States, and Archbishop O'Connell of Boston. These three were regarded as the 'new American Cardinals.' The Holy Father was inspired by the special character of this group of ecclesiastics, collected from non-Catholic lands, to affirm in his allocution the hope of regaining these people to the Catholic Church. 'This hope,' he continued, 'is increased when I think you have come from distant America, of the enthusiasm there over the news of your elevation to the Cardinalate, of the demonstrations of all classes of citizens, of the acclamations accompanied by blessings and greetings upon your departure from New York and your triumphal journey across the ocean." Significantly, the Consistory to confer the rings and hats upon the new Cardinals, in the Hall of Beatifications, was solemnized on the American Thanksgiving Day, November 30. Cardinal Farley's return to his See was the occasion of public rejoicing even more effusive than that which had marked his departure. He was the recipient of a tremendous ovation from the priests and laity of the Archdiocese. The seminarians attended the cele bration in the Cathedral where a Pontifical Mass was celebrated by Archbishop Prendergast at which Cardinal Gibbons, many Archbishops, Bishops, monsignori, priests and religious attended. Bishop Cusack preached the sermon on this occasion. The twenty-fifth anniversary of Dr. Mahoney's ordination to the priesthood took place on January 23 of this year. At dinner the orchestra played several selections, songs were sung by the choir and addresses were delivered by representatives of the student body. Dr. Mahoney then addressed the assemblage. He was visibly affected by the greeting he had received, but showed the realization of the right thing to do in such a crisis by announc ing that the rest of the day would be free. A banquet in celebration of his elevation to the sacred college was tendered his Eminence Cardinal Farley on February 12 by the faculty and student body. On his arrival Cardinal Farley was greeted by a chorus of 175 voices singing "Ecce Sacerdos Mag nus." With a repeated "God bless you all" his Eminence passed through the double file of seminarians attended by Monsignor James V. Lewis, the Very Rev. John P. Chidwick, D.D., and the reverend faculty, entered the chapel and knelt in prayer. The community dining room had been transformed for the occa sion into a veritable bower of evergreen with American emblems and the Papal colors. The speakers were the Very Rev. John P. Chidwick, D.D., rector of the seminary who welcomed the Car- 124 RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK dinal and then introduced in turn the Rev. Michael J. Shea, whose topic was "The Priesthood Our Common Bond" ; the Rev. Patrick Dempsey who addressed the Cardinal from the viewpoint of "The New York Archdiocese." The Right Reverend Rector, after congratulating his Eminence, in the name of the seminary, upon the exalted dignity to which he had been called and after ex pressing the joy of the seminary to behold its Father in Christ a Prince of the Holy Roman and Apostolic Church, noting the national character of the welcome accorded to his Eminence upon his return, he said: "Thousands of every Creed and shades of belief stood shivering in the cold to add their acclaim to that of the faithful who regard you as their loving shepherd and friend. Along the route of procession which accompanied you, side by side with the flag of our beloved country, was the flag of him who had honored you. Never before in the history of our country and perhaps never in the history of any other country where our faith is not that of the government was this spectacle seen. "It is conservatively stated that within a hundred years, the population of our country will be fully three hundred millions. The influence which this vast aggregation will have upon the world with the educational and material advantages of our country is incalculable. If the influence of our Church continue upon the American people as it has in the past, likewise incalculable, wiU be the power which the Church in America will exert in the Church Universal. May we not be privileged to believe that the elevation of your Eminence and of another American Prelate marks the beginning of an epoch in the history of the Church in America in which she will play a large and most important role in the work of the church throughout the world." Glee club numbers composed for the occasion were sung by the Dunwoodie quartet, John Quinn, James Cassidy, Joseph Stuhr, and Patrick Dempsey. A cornet solo was rendered by Joseph Loughran. The Dunwoodie orchestra was in attendance through out the banquet and at the opening strains of "The Star Spangled Banner" Cardinal Farley arose while the assembled students sang the national anthem. At the conclusion of the entertainment Car dinal Farley addressed words of encouragement, advice and in spiration to the clerical students. He emphasized the importance of the Church of New York and the influence of its priests. After urging all to stop at nothing short of their greatest possible efforts in advancing Christ's standards, his Eminence bestowed the Papal Benediction upon the assembly. The Dunwoodie Alumni at their annual meeting towards the RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK 125 close of the year also took advantage of the opportunity to con gratulate his Eminence, to tell him of their happiness and to assure him of their loyalty in the following words: "Today then out of the fulness of loyal and loving hearts we of the younger clergy trained within these walls which speak to us of happy days, tender his Eminence our most sincere congratulations. For as it shall always be an honor to give the fullest measure of our service to him upon whom the Most Sovereign Pontiff has placed the precious seal of predilection we lay at his feet today the solemn pledge of an affectionate devotion, not only to himself in person but to any project he may conceive for the furtherance of God's King dom ; the good of immortal souls ; and we here register the promise that on whatever work engages his attention he will not find in all his devoted clergy a more generous response than will come from the Alumni of dear Dunwoodie." A banquet was given on February 20 in honor of Father Lynch who had been appointed to organize the Catholic Protective So ciety. In the evening an entertainment and a real Dunwoodie sendoff was given to the departing Treasurer. The Silver Jubilee of Doctor Driscoll took place on May first of this year and the Dunwoodie Alumni Society at their annual reunion presented him with a purse of $2,500. The Secretary's account of the reunion serves to give an insight into the spirit of love and loyalty of the Alumni for their Alma Mater : "The Alumni of St. Joseph's Seminary held their annual re union at Dunwoodie on Wednesday May 1, 1912. It was the larg est and most successful reunion in the history of the society. Solemn High Mass was celebrated in the beautiful seminary chapel by the Rev. James F. Ferris assisted by Rev. Robert Ross as dea con and Rev. James Buckley as subdeacon. The music rendered by the seminary choir, was under the direction of the Rev. Francis X. Albert, Ph.D., professor of Plain Chant. "The banquet was a complimentary dinner to the former rec tor the Very Rev. James F. Driscoll, D.D., who was attached to Dunwoodie as professor and president for twelve years, and who celebrates this year the silver jubilee of his priesthood. The Rev. Francis P. Duffy, D.D., was toastmaster. The toast to 'Our Holy Father the Pope' was answered by the entire Alumni sing ing 'Long live the Pope.' The toast 'His Eminence John Car dinal Farley' was responded to by the Rev. Michael J. Larkin, S.T.L. "The next toast was to the Very Rev. James F. Driscoll, D.D. It was answered by the Rev. Michael Reilly, pastor of St. Barna- 126 RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK has' Church, Woodlawn. Father Reilly described the condition of the Church in these times; he pictured the work that has to be done in this transitional period and he outlined the character of the priests that had to perform the labor. Then he spoke of the labors of Dr. Driscoll in training the young men for the priest hood, how he foresaw the necessary requirements, how he la bored to instill the highest spirituality, the ablest learning, the most loyal devotion to Church and Bishop in all the young men under his care, and all the while hiding his own learning and abil ity. In conclusion he tendered to Dr. Driscoll the congratulations and good wishes of the Alumni; he expressed their deep appre ciation of all his labors in their behalf, and as a token in their name he presented to them a check for $2,500." When Dr. Driscoll rose to respond he was greeted with a prolonged outburst of applause that testified to the deep affection in which he is held by the Alumni. When the cheering had sub sided and after a few introductory remarks. Dr. Driscoll spoke in part as follows : " 'I need hardly say that I rejoice to be with you here again today to review memories of dear Dunwoodie, which if they be happy ones for you, are doubly so for me. It would be impossible not to be deeply gladdened and touched by the inspiring sight of so many young priests assembled once more in their alma mater, and by the thought that I did with the help of God, have some part in their clerical formation. The great honor which you have done me on this occasion, the more than kind words uttered by the various speakers and the magnificent gift by which you have sub stantiated these words. All this is naturally most gratifying to me. Indeed it is overwhelming, being so much beyond what I could expect and I sincerely wish that I could feel honestly that it were less undeserved on my part. . . . "I am deeply grateful to you aU for your manifestation of today, which comes as a crowning joy, as a recompense, however undeserved, after my twenty-five years in the holy priesthood. This celebration is particularly gratifying as coming from you priest of God and Alumni of Dunwoodie, with whom it has been my good fortune to be so intimately associated." The Rev. John Cherry of Brooklyn then toasted the other jubi- larian of the day, the Rev. John R. Mahoney, D.D., who for fourteen years has been professor of Moral Theology at Dun woodie and who this year celebrated his sacerdotal silver jubilee. Father Cherry expressed the feelings of the alumni in eulogizing the character of Dr. Mahoney, in describing the great work he RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK 127 had accomplished during his professorship at Dunwoodie and con cluded by presenting him with a valuable gold watch as a token of esteem and appreciation from the Alumni Society. Dr. Mahoney responded, expressing his high esteem for the Dunwoodie Alumni and his gratefulness for their remembrance of his jubilee. Old Dunwoodians will note witii regret that Dr. Valentine Brown, who had been seminary physician since the withdrawal of Dr. Patrick Pine in 1899 had resigned on account of old age. Every Wednesday morning in all kinds of weather the good doctor had come to the seminary to care for the physical welfare of the students. He was succeeded by Dr. Michael Foy of Yonkers. Among the visitors to the seminary this year were the Apostolic Delegate and Bishop Dougherty of the Philippines. ORDINATI OF 1912 Bassi, Victor L. ; Cassidy, James A.; Connolly, Stephen P.

It was shortly after his return to New York that the World War broke out and he again went with his regiment into the thick of the fight at the battle fronts of Europe. The heroic deeds of his regiment are recorded in "Father Duffy's Story." The chair of Junior PhUosophy was filled during the year by Doctor Brady in addition to his work as Professor of Sacramental Theology. Doctor Scanlan on his return from Rome succeeded to the chair of Psychology left vacant by Dr. Duffy. Among the noteworthy events of the year was the celebration of the Rector's jubilee. A banquet was served at which his Eminence the Cardinal presided and delivered an address of congratulation to the jubilarian. Both faculty and student body extended their good wishes to the Right Reverend Rector. It was also in this year that the Rector was appointed President of the Catholic Summer School. It was at the opening of this year that the death of Sister Marie Therese, who had been Superior of the Sisters of Charity at Dunwoodie from its opening, took place. The following account of her funeral services indicates the esteem in which she was held : "With profoundly impressive religious ceremonies the funeral of Sister Marie Therese, a Sister of Charity for forty-seven years and at her death Sister Servant in charge of the religious com munity attached to St. Joseph's Seminary, at Yonkers, was con ducted from that institution on Thursday morning, September 19. Sister Marie Therese, who had been stationed at the seminary since its erection sixteen years ago, was widely known throughout the diocese. Her death occurred on Tuesday morning, September 17, after an illness of a few months. The diocesan seminary was crowded with priests and religious during the services, including several monsignori, a host of priests comprising many of the older clergy as well as a large number of younger priests whose training at the seminary brought them in touch with the departed religious. Two hundred seminarians in cassock and surplice, more than a hundred Sisters of Charity, together with other religious and rela tives and friends who came from far and wide to pay a final tribute to the beloved Sister. Solemn High Mass of Requiem was cele brated at 10 :30 o'clock by the Rector, the Right Rev. Dr. John P. RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK 129 Chidwick, officiating as celebrant; the Rev. James F. DriscoU, of St. Gabriel's Church, New Rochelle as deacon, and the Rev. Wil liam Livingston of St. Gabriel's Church, New York, as sub-deacon. The Rev. Thomas J. Lynch, head of the CathoHc Probation Bureau and former treasurer of the seminary was Master of Ceremonies. The coffin was borne from the convent to the seminary chapel on the shoulders of six members of the deacon class, the choir pre ceding and chanting a harmonized version of the 'Miserere.' Lining the way from the convent to the chapel were the seminarians." The funeral discourse was preached by the Rev. Dr. Francis P. Duffy, who chose as his text, "For me to live is Christ, to die is gain," and told in simple language of the truly devout life of the departed Sister, characterizing her work as a true religious. He described the work accomplished at the seminary convent since its establishment sixteen years before and of the childlike simplicity and seer-like prudence of Sister Marie Therese, the great influence of whose administration had found its way deep into the hearts of every student and priest whose course had been made at the insti tution. In conclusion the preacher referred to the declining years of the life of the Blessed Virgin in tending the young priest St. John, the beloved disciple of her Son. Turning to the life and work of the departed Sister in her final years at the seminary Father Duffy characterized Sister Marie Therese also as the Mother of Priests, the faithful Virgin and Mother whose kindly zeal and memorable vigilance and charity had followed faithfully the courses and careers of so many young priests from the day of their entrance into the seminary until the last moments of her Hfe. The remarkable force of character, the balanced grace and power, the charming personality, the indefatigable zeal and saintly charity that had characterised all her undertakings proved so salutary an influence on the Sisters under her charge that in every step of the upbuilding of the seminary their unmistakable traces could be found. FoUowing the absolution the seminarians pre ceded the funeral retinue through the grounds to the west entrance, there forming in lines through which the carriages passed. The interment was made in the community cemetery at Mount St. Vincent, where harmonised versions of the "Benedictus" and "Miserere" were rendered by a quartet of seminarians. On De cember 17 a bronze tablet was erected in memory of Sister Marie Therese in the Sister's chapel. She had served the seminary faith fully since its opening and this memorial was an indication that she had not been forgotten by a grateful student body and faculty. It contained the following inscription: 130 RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK "IN MEMORIAM SISTER MARIE THERESE SISTER SERVANT 1896-1912 'She Hath Looked Well to the Paths of Her House, Therefore Have Her Children Risen Up and Called Her Blessed.' — ^proverbs xxxi. ' R. I. P." Among the visitors to Dunwoodie this year were Bishop O'ReiUy of North Dakota, Archbishop Moeller of Cincinnati, and Bishop O'Connell of Richmond. ORDINATI OF 1913 Ahearn, Thomas A.

The faculty was augmented this year by the addition of the Rev. Father Joseph P. Nelson, S.T.D., who was an alumnus of the class of 1910. He had taken up post-graduate work in Scripture at Washington and at the Biblical Institute in Rome, and came to Dunwoodie where for his first two years he occupied the chair of Junior Philosophy. RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK 131 A new house physician was appointed this year in the person of Dr. PhiHp S. McCormack, who succeeded Dr. Foy, called to his reward after three years of faithful services at the seminary. At the Requiem Mass for Doctor Foy, at St. Mary's, Yonkers, the entire student-body was present as a token of appreciation. Among the new features which met the students on their return this year were the addition of new staUs in the chapel and the improvements made on the grounds — an additional baU field, two additional tennis courts, a new "bleachers" for critics of the game and new concrete walks and roads. The increase in numbers had made it necessary to increase the seating capacity of the chapel and to provide additional outdoor recreational facUities. The Right Reverend James A. McFaul, Bishop of Trenton, in October of this year, donated to the seminary, the library of the Right Reverend Michael J. O'Farrell, the first Bishop of Trenton. The colection contains many rare and valuable folios and was a valuable addition to the library. To commemorate the sixteenth centenary of the Edict of Milan, Pope Pius X proclaimed a jubilee indulgence for the whole Catholic world in November. The seminarians were enabled to gain this extraordinary jubilee indulgence as his Eminence, Cardinal Far ley, appointed the seminary chapel as the church to be visited and prescribed the following conditions : ( 1 ) Beginning with Monday, November 10, and ending with Saturday the 15th, inclusive, the theologians and philosophers should go from their respective prayer halls to the chapel in procession, meanwhile singing alter nately with the choir the Psalm "Miserere" ; (2) in the chapel five decades. of the beads were to be recited; (3) the usual condi tions of Confession and Communion were required; and (4) alms giving could be commuted to good works by the respective con fessors. The following program of this year's Gaudeamus for the St. Vincent de Paul society will call up many pleasant memories to the alumni of those days : 1. Serio-comic picture "the Photographer and the Deacon." 2. Musical Selection — Glee Club. 3. Dramatic Playlet "Padre Ignatio." 4. Orchestra Selection — Adele. S. Farcical Incident "A Close Shave." 6. Address — President of the Society. At the fourteenth annual reunion of the Dunwoodie Alumni which took place on May 6 at the seminary, a complimentary din ner was tendered Father Chidwick in honor of his sacerdotal silver 132 RECTORSHIP OP THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK jubilee. In the addresses delivered the Alumni expressed their admiration and esteem for one who by his varied labors had done so much for the good of the Church in the United States. In June of this year the Rector was appointed by Governor Glynn to serve as delegate to the American Canadian Centenary at Macinac Island. He had previously been honored by his selection as member of the Plattsburg Centenary Committee. Distinguished visitors to the seminary during this year were Abbot Gasquet and Mr. Wilfrid Ward. The following account of Mr. Ward's visit to Dunwoodie is taken from an article written by him for the Dublin Review entitled, "A Visit to America." "My next lecture was at the Seminary of the New York diocese, . just outside the city of Dunwoodie. This gave me almost as much pleasure as my visit to the Newman School. My audience of one hundred and ninety-two divines was extremely alert and attentive. Cardinal Farley introduced me, and as we entered the large lecture haU the College band greeted us with a march. The lecture was on the four Cardinals, and both the Cardinal Archbishop himself and Monsignor Lavelle made cordial speeches of thanks at its con clusion. The seminary is large and impressive. It has an admir able library overlooked by an extremely learned Father who haUs from Bagdad. I had much talk with the professors and some of the students after supper; and carried away a most pleasant im pression of an ecclesiastical spirit and keen inteUectual life."

Fifty-eight of these were for dioceses other than New York. After the retreat a Solemn Requiem Mass was celebrated for the repose of the soul of Pius X, who had died the month previous whUe the students were on vacation. On October 12 his Eminence, Cardinal Farley, paid his first visit to the seminary after his return from the conclave which elected a successor to Pope Pius X. In the evening the students assembled in the prayer-hall to extend a hearty welcome to him. A short program, consisting of a few musical numbers, was ren dered, after which the Cardinal gave a very interesting account of his trip abroad, dwelling in particular on his audience with the late Pope Pius X and his attendance at the Conclave for the election of a successor to the lamented Holy Father. On October 28 the seminarians attended the consecration of Bishop Hayes at St. Patrick's Cathedral. There were twenty bishops present besides the two assistant consecrators, Bishops Gabriels and Cusack. The Cardinal celebrated the Mass and con secrated Bishop Hayes as Titular Bishop of Tagaste and Bishop Auxiliary of New York. For most of the students it was the first attendance at a consecration, and a splendid opportunity was afforded of a close view of the liturgy of the Church. After the consecration the students were free until six-thirty o'clock in the evening. Dinner was served at the popular Neapolitan Albergo di Roma. On the following day Cardinal Farley, Bishop Burke of Albany and Bishop Hickey of Rochester, visited the seminary. The stay of the Bishop of Rochester was of short duration, but the Cardinal and Bishop Burke came to the prayer-hall where aU the students had gathered and a reception was tendered to Bishop Burke, who 134 RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK addressed the students at some length, speaking of the friendly relations between the diocese of Albany and New York, and the advantages of seminary training at Dunwoodie where one becomes broadened by contact with men of other dioceses. The Bishop then granted a holiday and, on the invitation of the Cardinal, bestowed the solemn Episcopal Benediction. On November 10, Bishop Hayes made his first visit to Dun woodie since his consecration. A real Dunwoodie welcome was accorded him by faculty and students. After a visit to the Blessed Sacrament the new bishop held a reception in the parlors where he was greeted by the alumni of Cathedral CoUege, of which he had been president. Each member of the community was then presented to him by the Very Rev. Rector Dr. Chidwick. The reception in the parlors was followed by a banquet and entertain ment. The dining hall was appropriately decorated and the sem inary orchestra filled the house with the joyful strains of the "Ecce Sacerdos." The entertainment which was introduced during the dinner consisted of three numbers. The first was a piano recital by the Rev. Francis W. Walsh. The next was a rendition of several selections by the Dunwoodie Octette. The final number was a violin solo rendition of Elman's "Canto Atnoroso." Towards the close of the banquet a testimonial address from the students was read by the Rev. Robert M. Gibson. After the address the rector of the seminary spoke for the faculty giving Bishop Hayes a hundred thousand welcomes in the language of his forefathers. He spoke of the very cordial relations between the Bishop and the seminary when he was Chancellor of the diocese and President of Cathedral College. Then referring to the address from the students he spoke of the indebtedness of the seminary to Cathedral College and its former president for so many of its students and for the careful preparation, both spiritual and intel lectual, that they had been given in their college years. He dwelt for some moments on the history of Cathedral CoUege, the press ing need for its foundation, the difficulties that had to be sur mounted and the man who was chosen by Archbishop Farley to assume the presidency and work out its destiny. With this as an introduction he spoke of the dependency of the seminary for its life on the inherent power of the new Bishop. In conclusion he dwelt on the dignity and power of the priesthood, of which the new Bishop was an ideal type. Bishop Hayes thanked the Very Rev. Rector, the reverend faculty and the student body for their hearty expression of good RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK 135 will, insisting on the fact that it was the priesthood which he represented in its fulness for which the honor was intended. And whatever he was today, and whatever of good he had accomplished in the service of the Master he attributed to the training which he had received in his seminary days at Troy. He concluded with an exhortation to the students to be faithful to their obligations and alive to the opportunities offered in their seminary, if they would be worthy and fitted for the great work that is before the coming generation of priests in the great archdiocese of New York. The usual Thanksgiving Gaudeamms took place this year on November 24 and is deserving of special mention because of its unusual excellence as also because it serves as a type of these annual entertainments. The program consisted of three sketches and vocal and instrumental music by the Glee Club and Orchestra. The first sketch entitied "Indoor Sports," was a satire on the Reading Room. The second was a comic travelogue called "This is the Life." The seminary was the subject under treatment and several avenues of good natured humor were revealed. The third sketch was a short playlet that went by the name of "Two in One," meaning two students in one room, a parody on the crowded con dition of the house. The singing of the Glee Club was a special feature of the evening. On December 28, Father Wakeham, vice president and professor of the seminary, died at Loretta Rest Cold Spring where he had been an invalid for more than a year. Father Wakeham was born at Columbus, Virginia, and was educated in the Rock Hill College of the Christian Brothers, St. Charles College, EUicott City, St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore, and in the Sulpician House of Studies at Issy, France. After his ordination he served in turn as a member of the faculty of St. Charles' CoUege, St. John's Seminary, Brigh ton, St. Patrick's Seminary, California and St. Joseph's Seminary, Dunwoodie. When the Sulpicians relinquished control of Dun woodie Father Wakeham became affiliated to the New York diocese and remained with the faculty at the seminary till poor health necessitated his retirement. Among the many qualities that endeared Father Wakeham to the hundreds of students who came under his direction was his kindness and fidelity. It was indeed a rare occasion to go back to visit Dunwoodie and fail to hear the hearty welcome and experi ence the genial hospitality of Father Wakeham. As a professor he was thorough and clear, as a spiritual director he was prudent and fatherly, as a disciplinarian he was firm but kindly and as a priest he closely foUowed in the footsteps of his Master. Father 136 RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK Wakeham was a frequent contributor to the "Homiletic Monthly" and was the author of two volumes of "Sermon Sketches" which were found to be most concise and practical. Dunwoodie suffered a heavy loss in the death of Father Wakeham ; since the opening of the seminary with the exception of two years, he had served in many capacities and had always reflected the highest credit on him self and his work. The seminarians on the receipt of the news of his death returned from their Christmas vacation to sing the Divine Office and assist at the Solemn Requiem Mass in the seminary chapel. It was a sorrowful gathering of priests and seminarians who assembled to say a prayer and pay their tribute of respect and esteem at the Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral. The celebrant of the Mass was Rev. John Brady, D.D. ; the sermon was preached by Monsignor Chidwick, and the final absolution was pronounced by his Eminence Cardinal Farley. "If there were a prayer in the heart of Father Wakeham asking for a special time to be released from his labors, it would be difficult to select an hour as the object of his petition, more beautifully in harmony with his priestly life than the one with which God favored him, i.e., the feast of St. John the EvangeHst and Holy Innocents," said Mgr. Chidwick. After speaking of Father Wakeham's sincere and vigilant interest in students' welfare, his generosity which often beggared himself, his sound and practical judgment, he concluded: "And now, dear Father Wakeham, may our remembrance of you be strengthened by the additional fact that your body will be retumed, as you desired, to the section of our country which witnessed your birth and early manhood and which you never ceased to love, but where in a small and obscure village few wUl kneel at your grave to remember you in prayer. May you soon behold the sweet countenance of Him whom you loved so deeply and served so faithfully and be with Him a leader, priest and prince before the Throne, according to the words: 'Thou art a priest forever according to the order of Melchisedech.' " After the Mass the faculty and seminarians accompanied the body to the Pennsylvania Station from which it started to its final resting place in his native town of Columbia, Virginia. A grateful host of priests often remember in their Office and Masses the soul of one who guided and encouraged them in the long and difficult road to the Holy Priesthood. Upon the invitation of the Countess Leary and with the permis sion of the Cardinal, the students were aUowed to attend the RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK 137 "Atonement" presented by the Catholic Oratorio Society, on the evening of March 26 at Carnegie Hall. 1914-1915 A feature of this year at the seminary was the inauguration of "Maryknoll Day" in which the students of the Foreign Mission Seminary came to compete with Dunwoodie in field day events. This has since developed into an annual event and the associations and friendly rivalry between the future foreign and domestic missioners will be of wonderful assistance to both. Some of the results are already in evidence with the enrollment of some of the New York seminarians in the ranks at MaryknoU and the growth of the Dunwoodie burse started by the students. At the close of this year Father Albert was appointed to the pastorship of the Church of St. Boniface, New York, where his linguistic abilities have proved a valuable asset towards the suc cess he has attained in this parish of diverse tongues.

DR. CHIDWICK 1915-1916. The Rev. Michael J. Shea was appointed to teach Junior Phil osophy and to direct the Plain Chant, at the opening in Septem ber when two hundred and forty-six students enrolled, of whom one hundred and eighty-seven were for New York. Father Shea was a graduate of Notre Dame University and an alumnus of Dunwoodie of the class of 1914. After his ordination he had studied liturgical chant in the Isle of Wight and at the Pontifical School of Plain Chant in Rome. The Rev. Joseph ScuUy during the year joined the faculty as Spiritual Director of the seminai7. He had made his college course at St. Francis Xavier's, New York City, and was ordained from Dunwoodie in 1908. After ordination he had served as an assistant at St. Joseph's, New York, and was then appointed to the Apostolate Mission Band of the diocese. Doctor Nelson was appointed to the chair of Old Testa ment History left vacant by the departure of Father Albert. The great event of this year was the erection of a magnifi cent statue of "Christ, the Light of the World," which was un veUed on September 27 on the seminary grounds. The statue with its huge granite pedestal had been presented to the seminary by his Eminence Cardinal Farley in memory of his predecessor Archbishop Corrigan under whose direction the seminary was built. The date of the dedication was chosen because it was the feast of St. Michael the name date of the late Archbishop. "Christ, the Light of the World," a bronze statue, seven feet in height, is the work of Samuel J. Kitson, the American Catholic sculptor of the bust of Orestes A. Brownson, the great American Philosopher which was unveUed in Riverside Park on Thanks giving Day, 1910, and of many other works of art that embeUish American parks and driveways. He considered this statue of "Christ, the Light of the World," as his masterpiece. It stands on the seminary esplanade in front of the main portal ; the figure facing the East with the back toward the seminary building. The site is a beautiful one, being surrounded by broad lawns and wide winding, well-kept roadways. His Eminence the Cardinal, Bishop Hayes, all the monsignori and about 300 priests, including prac tically all the pastors of New York, a large gathering of the laity and the entire student body were present. The seminarians, priests and prelates, chanting the "Veni Creator," marched slowly through the grounds. When the Cardinal had unveUed the statue and blessed it he took his place on the temporary throne erected for him at the speakers' stand which was tastefully draped with RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK 139 American, Papal and Irish Flags. The first speaker was the Right Rev. Joseph F. Mooney, who declared : "It is after all where we stand to-day that the memory of Arch bishop Corrigan speaks of his devotion to ecclesiastical education. In that magnificent edifice facing us is to be seen the highest fruit and noblest test of what he did for the training of the priests. In that building, magnificent in its every aspect both within and without, is the testimony of this devotion to education and it wUl always be a testimony of the work of him who planned and erected it. As long as it wiU endure he who created this Seminary of St. Joseph will be perpetuated because it wiU speak so plainly that none can fail to understand that this grand edifice was only reared to build up a more beautiful and spiritual edifice in the heart and minds of the clergy who would be trained there. It was the most precious legacy he left to his priests, and it was the crowning work of his life in education." The Honorable Bourke Cockran then paid an eloquent tribute to Archbishop Corrigan. "This is a most impressive tribute to the memory of a departed ecclesiastic," he said. "The great meeting at Carnegie Hall shortly after Archbishop Corrigan's death when the entire body of our citizenship. Catholic and non-Catholic, united in an expression of profound regret at the loss of such a man was a tribute that will ever remain memorable. But today's tribute is more remarkable stiU. Here, after thirteen years, to find such a noble tribute to his memory proves conclusively that not only the generation that knew him have admired him but that future generations wiU realize his great deeds and worth. On behalf of all who knew him and admired him I want to express the grateful appreciation of the Catholic people to Cardinal Farley for having made this occasion a tribute to the memory of Archbishop Corrigan." Cardinal Farley, in presenting the monument to the seminary, said in part : "I cannot forego the pleasure of returning thanks to the audi ence of clergy and laity for coming in such large numbers and on such short notice. It shows that the spirit which manifested it self on this spot nearly twenty-five years ago when the corner stone of this building was laid, still abides in the clergy and laity. Let me take you into my confidence and tell you what inspired the thought of erecting a statue in memory of my iUustrious pre decessor. On this day, twenty years ago, when this institution was opened I felt that there was something wanting, something that the founder could not supply and I made up my mind that 140 RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK no matter what position I might hold, this want would be sup plied. People might say 'Is not the seminary his monument?' 'Is not the chapel his gift?' Yes, that is so, but when the present generation and its successors pass away men wUl come here and go, but they wUl not find a finger pointing out the personality to whom all this was due, and perhaps they wiU not think to ask. That is why I have put this monument to his memory. My mo tive was one of affection. I owe to my predecessor more than you know, and I was determined to give expression to my affection for him. I feel that I have accomplished one of the tasks of my Hfe and I thank God that he has given me the means and the inspiration to carry it out. "All that the hundred thousand persons who came here twenty- five years ago looked for and hoped for had been realized. The vast building is now too small to provide for the number of voca tions from our own diocese. Archbishop Corrigan builded well but there remains more to be done. This seminary now accommo dates two hundred-fifty theologians and philosophers, twice as many as when it was first opened, with a faculty of which any bishop might well be proud, a faculty almost to a man raised up within these walls are sent from here to the University at Washing ton or to the American College at Rome, a faculty of fourteen professors living together in the greatest harmony, so much so that it is my great pleasure to come here to spend a night with them. I do not believe there is another diocese where so many vocations to the holy priesthood are found as in New York. For this I thank God and I thank my predecessor, for his love of education made it easy for those who come after him. You students are here to be made 'other Christs,' you are to be the 'Light of the World.' It is for you to spread that light to the souls sitting in darkness to enlighten their minds, to sanctify their souls and to lead them to God." Dr. Chidwick, on behalf of the faculty, trustees, alumni, and students then accepted the statue in an address in which he highly praised the virtues of Archbishop Corrigan and the generosity of the donor. The ceremonies closed with Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament in the chapel, the Cardinal officiating. On November 10 visits of inspection to various charitable insti tutions were begun. On this day students attending the classes in sociology to the number of one hundred went to the CathoHc Protectory in Westchester where an instmctive afternoon was spent in viewing and studying this institution. Doctor Brady, who had been Vice-President, and who for eighteen years had been professor at Dunwoodie, at the close of the RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK 141 year was promoted to the pastorate of St. Francis de Sales Church, New York. In addition to his parish work he is President of the CoUege of Mount St. Vincent and Director of the Health Division of the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese. The editorship of the "Homiletic Monthly," which he conducted so successfully while at Dunwoodie, he relinquished on account of pressure of parish work. A reception was tendered to Dr. Brady by the student-body on the eve of his departure from the seminary to take charge of the parish of St. Francis de Sales. Advantage was also taken of this occasion to present Dr. Albert who had been appointed pastor of St. Boni face's, with a token of appreciation from the student-body. A set of vestments chausable, and dalmatics, was given by the students to Dr. Brady, and a traveling bag was presented to Dr. Albert. Before the departure of the students for the summer vacation the announcement was made that Dr. Chidwick had been made a Monsignor. It caused great rejoicing in the house and a reception was tendered him by the seminarians. On June 7 a testimonial dinner was given to him. One of the students read an address and made known the fact that the students were presenting him with a rochette. Speeches were made by the Rev. WiUiam Livingston and Monsignor Lavelle. There were present three former class-mates of Monsignor Chidwick to felicitate him on his elevation. Fathers O'Keefe, Livingston and Briody. The degree of L.L.D. was bestowed on the Rector by Fordham University at the close of the year. He had previously been the recipient of an L.L.D. from Manhattan. Another announcement received with great joy by the seminar ians was that Father Gigot has been appointed as Vice-President of the seminary. He has served Dunwoodie faithfully and his promo tion was well merited. ORDINATI 1916 Barry, Patrick J.; Booth, Robert (Ogdensburg, Chaplain, U. S.

Sixty-six students for other dioceses were registered. The regular opening had to be postponed for two weeks owing to the influenza epidemic which was then raging. During the summer vacation two more professors were appointed to parishes. Dr. Mahoney and Father Scully. The former went from Dunwoodie to assume charge of the parish of St. Rose of Lima, New York City. He had taught at Dunwoodie for eight een years, occupying the chair of Moral Theology and he had given to the future priests of the archdiocese the benefit of his studies at the universities of Europe and his practical experience as pastor in the West. Besides his parochial work and contributions to magazines he is the Defensor Vinculi of the Matrimonial Court of the archdiocese. Ill-health caused the retirement of Father Scully as Spiritual Director and he was appointed to St. Francis de Sales parish, Phoenicia, New York, where he is now an active and zealous missioner. To fill the vacancy caused by Father Mahoney's withdrawal the Rev. John F. Turner, D.D., who had made part of his course in philosophy at Dunwoodie, was appointed. He had been a student at the American College in Rome from which he was ordained in 1904. His training combined with his practical ex perience, derived in the parishes of the Immaculate Conception and St. Gabriel's, New York, well equipped him for his new posi tion. The Rev. Thomas Joseph Doyle, an alumnus of Manhattan RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK 143 and a graduate of the class of 1906 of Dunwoodie, was appointed Spiritual Director. After his ordination he had served as an assistant at Spring Valley, Mount Loretto and St. Stephen's, New York. Another addition was that of the Rev. Bartholomew Eustace, D.D., an alumnus of St. Francis Xavier's College, New York, whose philosophy course had been made there and at Dun woodie. He was sent to the American CoUege, Rome, to continue his studies and was ordained in Rome in 1915. He then served as an assistant at the Blessed Sacrament parish. New Rochelle, New York, until he was appointed as Professor of Junior PhUosophy and English to succeed Father Shea. The latter had become Professor of Apologetics in place of Father Mulcahy who was promoted to Senior Dogma. Father Mitty, who had taught Senior Dogma, was made Professor of Sacramental Theology to fill the vacancy caused by the departure of Father Brady. The seminary was so overcrowded this year that it became nec essary to place all the philosophers and many of the theologians two in a room. In addition the large prayer hall was used to accommodate a number of the students. The gymnasium became the assembly room for meditation, spiritual reading and lectures. The seating capacity of the chapel, dining-room and class rooms also had to be enlarged. At this time his Eminence decided on a new building for the philosophy department. Plans for it were drawn and accepted only to be set aside at the outbreak of the World War. In this year, owing to the number of deaths among the priests, the Cardinal decided to ordain six members of the Deacon Class at Christmas. The process of selection was based on the number of years in the house, and the six who had come to Dunwoodie for the Junior Year in Philosophy were appointed by the faculty. On December 10 an informal reception was tendered to Father Mahoney who during his eighteen years as Professor of Moral Theology had rendered himself dear to the hearts of aU those who came under his guiding influence. An address, read by a mem ber of the Deacon Class, expressed the sentiments of Dunwoodie past and present, and the former professor thanked, with much feeling, the students for their compliments. Among the visitors were Father Brady, former professor and vice-rector of the sem inary, and Dr. Hughes, president of Cathedral College. On February 15, Father Scanlan, Professor of Psychology, was appointed to the office of Censor Librorum of the archdiocese. He was to succeed Father Lafort, who had held the office since leaving Dunwoodie until his death. 144 RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK On May 26 occurred the death of the Rev. John F. Morgan, who, since his post-graduate studies at Washington, had lived at Dunwoodie. He had in turn been Professor of Greek, Registrar and Prefect of Studies at Cathedral CoUege which he had served since its opening. The Solemn Mass of Requiem was celebrated at St. Patrick's Cathedral by his classmate, the Rev. Joseph O'Con nor, the eulogy being preached by the Rev. Francis P. Duffy, D.D. A bronze tablet was erected to his memory by the students, faculty and alumni of Cathedral College on December 27, 1917. Bishop Hurth and Bishop M. J. Curley of St. Augustine, Florida, were among the visitors at Dunwoodie during this year. On April 20 Monsignor Chidwick informed the third year theo logians that, owing to the scarcity of priests and the crowded con dition of the house, they would be ordained in September and hence would have to return during the summer, immediately after the priests' retreats, so as to finish their studies. A summer course of six weeks' duration was given to these theologians by the Rec tor, Monsignor Chidwick, the Professor of Sacraments, Father Mitty; the Professor of Dogma, Father Mulcahey, and the Pro fessor of Scripture, Father Gigot, at the conclusion of which the class was ordained.

His Eminence had caUed for priests to volunteer for war service and from those of the faculty who offered their services he selected Fathers Mitty and Mulcahey. Father Mulcahey became chaplain of the 48th, and Father Mitty of the 49th Infantry. Both did splendid work at the Embarkation Camps at Newport News and Camp Merritt. Father Mitty was fortunate in being sent overseas and commissioned as chaplain of the 101st Infantry, A. E. F., the old Ninth Massachusetts regi ment and his work at the front in the closing days of the war re ceived the highest commendation from his superiors. In June, 1919, he was appointed chaplain of West Point Military Academy and pastor of the Church of the Sacred Heart, Highland FaUs. The Rev. Joseph McCarthy, an alumnus of Maynooth, was ap pointed to fill the vacancy in the chair of dogma. He had been for years an assistant at Mount Kisco and at Kingsbridge. Be fore the close of the year. Father Ryan was appointed chaplain in the aviation corps and served at the aviation camp at Waco, Texas, until the conclusion of the war. Owing to the large number of students and the consequent in crease of visitors, it was decided that the visiting Sundays should be limited to one each term, and as a war measure, it was decided that the students should not visit Yonkers or Mount Vernon during their walks. The beginning of the war caused much ex citement and many manifestations of patriotism at Dunwoodie. A set of resolutions and a rousing send-off from the student body were given to the professors who went away as chaplains. His Eminence ordered that their places at the seminary should be kept open for their return and that a note to this effect be placed in the faculty minutes. What was known as the "First War Class" was ordained at the opening of the year to fill the vacancies caused by the appointments of chaplains. The student body worked on the farms during the scholastic year, while during the summer they accepted occupations which were conducive to the carrying on of the war. A notable event of the year was the securing of a set of "The Catholic Encyclopedia" for every student of the seminary. It 146 RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK was first proposed that enough funds be secured to place the Encyclopedia in each room, but experience on similar lines showed that this would not prove of permanent value since the ownership of the set rested on no particular individual. It was then that an endowment fund was suggested by which every student could pay a small amount during his seminary course and the final amount after ordination. This plan was adopted and the edition was made a special "Dunwoodie Edition," and, February 4 "En cyclopedia Day." The Saturday previous two hundred and six sets of the Encyclopedia were distributed among the seminarians. As there were already forty-four sets in possession of that many students, practically every student in the seminary thus became an owner of this great work. The occasion was observed by an entertainment to which the editors of the Encyclopedia, the Right Rev. Thomas J. Shahan, D.D., the Rev. Edward A. Pace, D.D., Conde B. Fallen, Ph.D., and the Rev. John J. Wynne, S.J., and the priests who had subscribed to the Encyclopedia Fund were invited. A representative expressed the gratitude of the student body in the following words : "We sincerely thank his Eminence for the encouragement he has given. We thank the editors, and in par ticular the editor whose energy was largely instrumental in bringing the undertaking to a successful conclusion. We thank our dis tinguished guests, our good friends among the clergy who sub scribed to the fund. We thank the faculty for their hearty coopera tion and we hope that all who have assisted in making this Encyclo pedia Day' possible may be amply repaid for their generous sacri fices, in the thought that they have placed at our disposal a valuable instrument which will redound not only to our personal advantage but to the glory of God, His Priesthood and His Church." Father Wynne said in part: "The fund is there and will be there to keep supplying to all who come into the hallowed pre cincts of this seminary each year a set of the Encyclopedia on the same terms upon which the present students have received them. The fund will be there and if at any time this arrangement should cease, it is to be given to the diocese for the seminary. Pastors and assistants have subscribed to it, many of them regretting that they did not have the work in their seminary days. This is the gen erous contribution of the priests of the diocese in these very trying times ; as your spokesman said, you will treasure their names in memories, prayerful memories. Every time you use the Ency clopedia, and feel its benefit, you will thank Almighty God and the generous benefactors who have provided you with it." Monsignor Chidwick thus stressed the importance of the occa- RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK 147 sion: "I can say with Father Wynne that I do not believe that the editors have done a more important work for the Encyclo pedia nor for the Church than this work which they are begin ning with this seminary. They are putting vital force into the very sources of the streams that are to run out and give active power and momentum to all of the machinery of the Church. They can look forward to a day that may be greater in its sur prises for them than even to-day, when you men and those who wiU foUow you, loving that work that is placed in your hands, wiU speak of it with enthusiasm to the numbers with whom you come in contact and recommend it for their reading and learn- ing. Bishop Shahan brought the event happily to a close. "If some twelve years ago," he said, "when we began the Encyclopedia on the eighth of December, nineteen hundred and five, under the auspices of Mary Immaculate, we had been told to select our own form of public approval, I am sure we would not have imaged anything so delicate, so beautiful, so pleasant and suitable in every respect as the exercises of this afternoon. For if one class of persons, more than another, was in our minds when we were moved to undertake this great work, it was certainly the seminarians of the United States 'The Catholic Encyclopedia' owes a great deal to New York City. It could not have been produced in any other city in the world. We found here in the first place the approval and good will, the support and affectionate encour agement of Cardinal Farley, who from the beginning received us most kindly in his room on the eve of the beginning of the En cyclopedia when we knelt at his feet and he gave us his fatherly blessing. From that day until the very end, he never failed to stand by us in every way, not only for the writing of the book, but in a material and helpful way when a big work Hke that needs support and help. We feel that he stands in the foremost rank of our friends and if it were not for him alone our debt to New York City would be very great. We always found in the clergy of New York a great deal of approval, help, counsel and encouragement, by their very visits to our office, by their personal kindly help, support and friendliness to the editors whenever they visited them, and by their personal good will in many directions. Creating 'The Catho lic Encyclopedia' was something like lifting yourself by your own boot straps. We had no money to begin with. We had to depend on the men of New York and other cities to carry this work to a happy and successful end ; so we are deeply grateful to them all." 148 RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK That the plan has proved unusually successful is evident from the fact that the Encyclopedia is in such constant use as a reference work that each seminarian secures a copy during his first year in the seminary. At a meeting of the faculty in January of this year it was decided that the feast of St. Thomas of Aquina, which has always been honored in a special manner in the seminary, should include the following program: A Solemn High Mass with a sermon on some aspect of the Angelic Doctor's life or works was to constitute the morning part of the ceremony. In the evening, a lecture appro priate to the occasion was to be delivered. During this year, the Rev. Bede Jarrett, O.P., was the preacher and lecturer.

The Rev. Joseph M. Egan, a graduate of Cathedral CoUege, and an alumnus of the class of 1916, was appointed to the chair of his- RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK 149 tory vacated by Dr. Ryan. Father Egan had made his post gradu ate studies at the Catholic University and had served as an assist ant at Rye, New York. Owing to the crowded conditions of the seminary, twenty sem inarians had to be quartered in the new addition to the buUding over the power house. It was also at the beginning of this year that the students began the task of waiting at the table. War conditions had made it impossible to secure any suitable male help. This was the first time since the opening of the seminary that the house was left without men in major orders. The war had resulted in the ordination of all the third year men. The members of the faculty were the ministers of the Solemn High Masses and were the officials in all the Holy Week services. The influenza epidemic which raged throughout the country this year did not leave Dunwoodie unscathed. One hundred and fifteen students succumbed to this disease but through the skill and devotion of Sister Aimee, the infirmarian, and Dr. McCormick, the house physician, all were restored to health save Mr. Houlihan who died at St. Joseph's Hospital, Yonkers. His classmates and members of the faculty attended the funeral Mass offered for his soul at St. Monica's Church, New York. The death of the beloved Cardinal Farley occurred, September 17, 1918. When the news came all went at once to the chapel where the Divine Office was chanted for the repose of his soul. Mass was sung for him on the morning following. The seminar ians were present at the Cathedral to pay their last tribute of loyalty and love to the great leader of the diocese and the beloved father of Dunwoodie. The seminary was draped in mourning and the flag was placed at half mast. In the death of Cardinal Farley, Dunwoodie had lost her great leader and father and friend. As Vicar General of the diocese he had been the counseUor and support of Archbishop Corrigan in the planning and building of the seminary. When others were fearful of failure in this immense undertaking the broadness of vision and the confidence in the generosity of clergy and laity instilled into the hearts of all by the Vicar General carried the en terprise to a success. Archbishop Corrigan planned the seminary but the task of paying for it was entrusted to the future Cardinal. He went from church to church to bring before the people the need of establishing the seminary and the necessity of financial co operation. How successful his efforts and those of his associates were is evident from the fact that on Archbishop Corrigan's Jubilee in May, 1898, a Httie more than a year after Dunwoodie's ISO RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK opening, he presented a check for $250,000 to his Grace to clear off the remainder of the debt on a seminary which had cost a miUion dollars. His zeal and ability in bringing about this desir able financial situation was acknowledged by Archbishop Corrigan on the tablet erected in the seminary which records the statement that it is intended "To perpetuate the remembrance of the suc cessful plan of the Right Rev. John M. Farley, V.G., to present the seminary entirely free of debt to his Grace, the Most Rev. Archbishop on the day of his Silver Episcopal Jubilee." The work of financing the seminary was but the beginning of Cardinal Farley's efforts to make Dunwoodie the finest seminary in the country. During his administration as head of the diocese the following additions to it were made : The completion of the build ing by the erection of the new wing ; the purchase of the Bennett property on the northwest corner of the grounds and another piece of land across the road to give the seminary the privacy required ; the erection of a stone barn and garage ; the addition to the power house and laundry ; the building of a block road and asphalt walks ; the laying out of the additional walks and recreational fields; the beautifying of the grounds and as a last labor of love the erec tion of tiie statue of "Christ, the Light of the World" to the memory of Archbishop Corrigan. The financing of the seminary and the improving of the grounds and buildings led up to his greatest work for Dunwoodie, the for mation of the faculty. The words of Bishop McQuaid at the dedication echoed in the mind of Cardinal Farley: "You have a seminary the like of .which does not exist in any place in the world. But it takes more than bricks and mortar to make a seminary. You must have men to teach and you must have methods that are up to date. You have a building here that is an wonder and a charm and I thank God that a new spirit is showing itself in regard to seminaries." It was ever the Cardinal's ambition to have at his seminary a faculty noted for its scholarship and spirituality and no sacrifice was too great to bring this about. At the Catholic University at Washington and the various universities of Europe the future pro fessors were sent to specialize in the subjects tiiey were to teach. Dunwoodie was to glory not only in its building but in its faculty and students. The same desire for scholarship led him at the opening of the Cathedral College to send its first professors to specialize in Latin and Greek at the Catholic University. The fine ideals entertained by Archbishop Corrigan in establishing Dun woodie were carried to their completion by Cardinal Farley. RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK 151 His Eminence loved the seminary and often stole away from the cares of the archdiocese to mingle with the faculty and stu dents, to walk around the grounds he loved so well, and to breath the peace and spiritual atmosphere of the place. Cardinal Farley had worked hard to establish Dunwoodie, he had collected most of the money for it, he had lived during the trying days of crit icism and disappointment, but he lived to see the seminary his consolation, his triumph and his crowning glory. The foUowing tribute to him is taken from the New York Sun: "In the death of his Eminence, John Murphy Farley, the Ro man Catholics of New York have lost their fourth Archbishop, their second Cardinal and their beloved friend and spiritual father. The Church itself will miss a worthy Prince and New York a loyal and respected citizen. "It may be said of Cardinal Farley, considering him beside the three other Archbishops of New York, whose administrations with his own covered a period of sixty-eight years, that he com bined many of the qualities that distinguishes the briUiant and ag gressive Hughes, the modest, intellectual McCloskey and the zealous and determined Corrigan. Of the three he most resembled New York's first Cardinal, John McQoskey, whose secretary he was in youth and whose biography he made the work of affection in later life. "Forty-eight years a priest, sixteen years an Archbishop, seven years a Cardinal and seventy-six years a fine, kindly human person — ^his was a grand life." On March 26, 1919, Father Dean, Treasurer of the seminary and rector of St. John the Baptist Church, died at Dunwoodie, after a month's illness. Father Dean was educated at St. Charles' Seminary, Maryland, and St. Joseph's Seminary, Troy. He was ordained at St. Patrick's Cathedral in 1899 and served for two years as assistant at the Church of the Immaculate Conception, New York, and then went to St. Joseph's Seminary as assistant treasurer. On the departure of Father Lynch in 1911 he became treasurer and rector of the parish church. The seminarians attended his Requiem at St. Patrick's Cathe dral. Monsignor John P. Chidwick was the celebrant of the Mass, and the eulogy was preached by the Rev. John Brady, D.D. Father Dean had served the seminary as treasurer for eleven years and had accomplished great things for Dunwoodie during that period. Under his direction the building and grounds were improved and enlarged. He was responsible for the beautifying 1S2 RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK of the grounds, the laying out of the concrete walks, and block pavements, the erection of the stone fence around the grounds, the building of the garage and barn and the addition to the power house. As an indication that his heart and soul were in Dunwoodie it is a matter of interest to note that before his death he bequeathed the little money in his possession to the seminary he served and loved so weU. In the death of Father Dean the seminary lost a devoted official, the parish of St. John the Baptist a true pastor, the diocese a loyal efficient priest, and the faculty and seminarians one who was ever before their eyes as a shining example and a tower of strength. The mourning of the levites and clerics as they assisted at the services in the seminary and the Cathedral was but a faint indica tion of the esteem in which they held him. The Rev. John Donovan, an alumnus of Dunwoodie, who had been an assistant at St. John's, New York, until the outbreak of the war, was appointed treasurer towards the close of the schol astic year. During the war Father Donovan had served as a chap lain in the army at Jackson Barracks, Louisiana. The fortunes of the war were followed with great interest at Dunwoodie and every, American victory was received with loud acclaim. As an indication of the patriotic spirit of the students, it is of interest to note that in response to the United War Drive appeal, $1,700 was subscribed by them. This was next to the largest amount contributed in Yonkers and represented many a sacrifice. The celebration of the Armistice was received at Dun woodie with great joy. The Bulletinarius thus vividly depicts the scene : "Peace is declared. The greatest day around here in a long time. The announcement came at one thirty that Germany had accepted the terms of surrender. The house went wild with joy. The bells and the whistles of the cities sent on the happy news. The community sang the Te Deum in chapel. A walk was given and many were brighter than they were for years for the prospects of seeing the boys back is a bright prospect for a merry Christ mas. This day is never to be forgotten. Then this sad message, alas, 'the peace was only a rumor.' "On November eleventh when the surrender of Germany was officially announced, the bells in the nearby towns were ringing as early as four A. M., woke us but did not lure us from under the covers. After breakfast, when it was announced that Ger many had signed the armistice, a parade was formed and the line of march encircled the grounds. The children from the pub- RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK 153 lie school paraded around the seminary. The seminarians formed in line before the seminary and sang the 'Star Spangled Banner.' Monsignor Chidwick addressed them in simple and timely elo quence." Many of the chaplains on their return from the front told their stories to the students ; the lecture of the Rev. Francis P. Duffy, chaplain of the 69th, and the celebration in honor of the French delegation consisting of the Bishop of Arras, Monsignor Julien, Monsignor BaudrUlart, Abbe Flynn and Abbe Klien will long be remembered. The foUowing is a quotation taken from the records of the French delegation published in Paris on their return from America : "Visite du grand seminaire de New York, situe hors la viUe, a Dunwoodie. Magnifique discours du superieur, Mgr. Chidwick, qui est un grand orateur ; discours f ranqais et latins de plusieurs etudiants; chante de la Marseillaise en I'honeur de 1' Alsace Lor raine. Manifestations enthousiastes en I'honeur de la France. Dis cours de I'eveque d'Arras, de I'abbe Flynn, de I'abbe Klien." The celebration in honor of the Golden Jubilee of Sister Gon- zago, the Sister Servant of the Sisters at the seminary also took place this year. It was a spontaneous tribute to the great work performed by these devoted women who since the opening of Dunwoodie in 1895 had worked so faithfully and quietly in their hard occupations, looking only for their reward in the Kingdom of Heaven. Among the distinguished visitors to the seminary during this year were Archbishop Bonzano and Bishop Glass of Salt Lake. ORDINATI OF 1919 Angulo, Armando L.

The opening of the scholastic year saw the return of Dr. Mulcahey to the chair of Senior Dogma and the transfer of Father McCarthy to the chair of Junior Moral Theology and Canon Law. The Rev. George Kreidel, an alumnus of Cathedral College, who had made his philosophical course at Dunwoodie and his theological studies at the American College, Rome, and at Innspruck, was appointed to succeed Dr. Herrick in the chair of Science. After his ordina tion Father Kreidel while serving as an assistant at St. Nicholas' and later at the Church of the Assumption, New York, was Pro fessor of German at Cathedral CoUege. Ill health caused the resignation of Dr. Herrick who had been Professor of Science for eighteen years. His loss to Dunwoodie was indeed a great one. During the year Father Ryan returned to his duties in the history department. The advent of two confessors from the Capuchin Monastery at Yonkers, was an innovation this year. That Dunwoodie might the more closely conform with the intent of the legislation of the New Code of Canon Law as applied to seminaries, it was decided to abolish the former method of having the professors act as con fessors, and call upon two Capuchin Fathers to assist the spiritual director in this duty. Every Friday afternoon, in all kinds of weather, the good Fathers are at their post and the amount of good accomplished by these confessors is deeply appreciated by the faculty and the students of the seminary. The appointment of Archbishop Hayes as the successor of Car dinal Farley was announced this year and was received with special manifestation of joy at Dunwoodie. He was known personally to every member of the faculty and many of the seminarians were students who had studied under his direction as president of Cathedral College. More important by far than this personal equation was the fact that Archbishop Hayes knew Dunwoodie (c) C. Smith Gardner MOST REV. PATRICK J. HAYES, D.D. RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK 155 from its very foundation and was possessed of tiie same love and high ideals that had inspired his predecessors. Archbishop Cor rigan and Cardinal Farley. To this was added his experience as an educator during his post graduate studies at the Catholic Uni versity and as first President of Cathedral CoUege. Dunwoodie had every reason to rejoice at the news of the appointment and gave fuU manifestation of that happiness at the ceremony of in stallation at St. Patrick's Cathedral, and later when the new head of the diocese paid his first visit to the institution. The faculty and seminarians were present at the installation which took place at St. Patrick's Cathedral on the feast of St. Joseph, March 19, 1919, in the presence of a congregation of 7,000 persons, including the clergy of the archdiocese, regular and secular, who made their aUegiance to their new spiritual superior. The presence of the Apostolic Delegate, Archbishop Bonzano, five Bishops of the Province, scores of monsignors; 1,100 priests and a concourse of nearly 6,000 of the laity could not but add dignity to the simple ceremony of installation. Probably the most interesting feature of the ceremony was the profession of loyalty and obedience by the 1,100 priests present. Each one in turn approached the throne, and kneeling before the Archbishop, kissed his ring in token of allegiance to the new superior. When the last of the priests had retired the new Met ropolitan bestowed his first blessing as an Archbishop to the assembled clergy and laity. The remainder of the ceremony con sisted of an address by the Apostolic Delegate, one delivered in be half of the clergy by Monsignor Mooney ; in behalf of the laity by Justice Victor J. Dowling ; in behalf of the chaplains by the Right Rev. Monsignor George A. Waring, U.S.A. and finally an address to the Apostolic Delegate in behalf of the laity by the Honorable Morgan J. O'Brien. At its conclusion. Archbishop Hayes speak ing from the throne, delivered an address in which he fervently set forth his gratitude to Almighty God and to the Holy See, his appreciation of the loyalty of the clergy and laity of New York, and of the chaplains of his military diocese. WhUe conscious of the great burden that had been placed on his shoulders he declared that his consolation and strength was that he was to lean on no broken reed, when his staff of support was the faith, piety, zeal and devotion of the clergy, the religious and the laity of New York. The seminarians returned to Dunwoodie deeply impressed with all they had seen and heard, while deep in their hearts was en kindled the fire of love and loyalty for the new head of the diocese. Towards the close of the year the Archbishop paid his first visit 156 RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK to Dunwoodie where a real home-coming welcome was extended. On his arrival at the gate he was met by the faculty and semi narians who formed a procession which wound its way into the chapel where the Te Deum was sung. After the chapel service a welcome consisting of vocal and in strumental music by the Dunwoodie choir and addresses by the Rev. Messrs. Betowski, Moore, Scully and Crew was given in the prayer hall which had been tastefully decorated. His Grace, presented by Monsignor Chidwick, was deeply touched by this manifestation of loyalty and love and told of his happiness on this occasion, of his love for Dunwoodie, and his high expectations of the student body and faculty. The granting of a holiday completed the outpouring of joy. The Dunwoodie alumni at their annual reunion took advantage of the opportunity of showing their happiness over the appoint ment of Archbishop Hayes. At the meeting before the arrival of the Archbishop, a resolution was passed congratulating his Grace on his appointment and pledging to him the entire loyalty, obedi ence and support of the Dunwoodie alumni. This set of resolutions was read at the dinner presided over by his Grace. In responding to the toast "Our Holy Father" the Archbishop spoke of the great work of the leader of Christendom during the past trying years of the war. He called on the alumni to be loyal and obedient and devoted to the Holy Father in aU things. In conclusion he thanked the alumni for their congratulations and praised their loyalty. On October 29 the seminary was honored by the visit of the dis tinguished ecclesiastic and statesman, his Eminence Cardinal Mercier. The Cardinal was accompanied by Archbishop Hayes, Bishop Wachter, Monsignor Mooney, Monsignor Dunn, Father Dineen and George J. Gillespie, chairman of the Cardinal Mercier Committee. The Wednesday afternoon walk was postponed in order that all would be on hand to welcome the great Belgian prelate. When his car arrived the faculty and the student body, in cassock, surplice and birettum, formed a double line stretching from the gate to the center door. The procession then moved to the chapel wherein the Cardinal knelt in prayer ; from the chapel the students proceeded to the Prayer Hall there to welcome in the well known Dunwoodie style, the great prince of the Church and hero of Belgium. Although the Cardinal had but a few moments to spare he did not allow the occasion to pass without an instructive, and intensely interesting talk. He dwelt on the two necessities of a priest's life, a thorough grasp of sound Catholic RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK 157 philosophy and theology and a development of the spiritual life. A holiday was granted in his honor. A choir composed of the regular seminary choir and other members of the house selected by Father Shea sang a Requiem Mass at the Cathedral on June 2, as part of the program of the Gregorian Congress held in New York. The seminarians acquitted themselves with the highest honors. During the Congress Dom Mocquereau, O.S.B. and Dom Gatard, O.S.B., visited Dunwoodie and addressed the students. At the close of the scholastic year death caUed Doctor Gigot, who had been Professor of Scripture at Dunwoodie for sixteen years. The following on his death and in appreciation of his services is from the published report : "The Rev. Francis Ernest Gigot, Professor of Sacred Scrip ture at St. Joseph's Seminary, Dunwoodie, died at St. Vincent's Hospital, New York City, on June 14, 1920. A Solemn Mass of Requiem for Dr. Gigot was celebrated at the seminary on Wed nesday morning, June 16 at nine o'clock. The Right Rev. Mon signor Joseph Freri, a very old friend of Father Gigot, was cele brant. The Divine Office was chanted on Wednesday afternoon in the seminary chapel by the seminarians and former pupils among the clergy. On Thursday morning a Solemn High Mass of Requiem was celebrated at St. Patrick's Cathedral. His Grace, Archbishop Hayes, presided. The Right Rev. John P. Chidwick, D.D., rector of the seminary, was celebrant. At Dr. Gigot's earnest request there was no eulogy at the Mass. "Dr. Gigot was born in France in 1859, educated at various in stitutions there and upon his ordination in 1884 came to the United States and entered the faculty of Brighton as Professor of Dog matic Theology. After a year he was transferred to the depart ment of PhUosophy and in another year was appointed Professor of Scripture. The last proved his life work as he lectured on the same subject almost to the day of his death. After a stay in Bal timore at St. Mary's Seminary, during which time he also taught at the Sulpician House of Studies in Brookland, he went to Dun woodie (September, 1904) and was of the faculty for the rest of his career. Though primarily a teacher Dr. Gigot was a volu minous writer besides making occasional excursions into the lecture field. His best known contribution to Biblical Science are 'Gen eral Introduction to the Study of the Scriptures,' 'Biblical Lectures' and 'Special Introduction to the Study of the Old Testa ment.' He also translated the Apocalypse for the Westminster version of the Scriptures and thereby considerably enhanced his 158 RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK already great reputation. His name also occurs frequently as a contributor to 'The Catholic Encyclopedia.' By the world of Catholic scholarship Dr. Gigot was held in high honor as an erudite, conscientious and painstaking student of the Holy Scrip tures who devoted his learning to the services of the Church. Had he not been so absorbed in Biblical studies he might have been a really eminent patriologist equipped as he was by wide and thought ful reading in the Fathers. And his work in this field would have been graced by a charm not always associated with such labors; since his devotion to the great names of early Christian literature often assumed the form of personal affection. His admiration for St. Jerome is a case in point, an admiration so naive as at times to bring a smile to those privileged to hear his fervent praise of the great patron of Biblical students. "But as so frequently occurs with such men. Dr. Gigot appeared to those intimately acquainted with him in a role far more sacred than that of scholarship. The professors and seminarians who knew him in Brighton, Baltimore and Dunwoodie will prefer to think of him as above all things else a model priest. "He was whole-souled in his devotion to duty, in the chapel no less than in the lecture hall, and many a zealous priest now living will testify to the blessing of that example. Not that he was prominent in any community to which he was attached; on the contrary he was if anything too self-effacing, and it was not easy to induce him to issue from his beloved retirement on those occa sions that seemed to demand his pubHc appearance. But neverthe less he felt that a seminary professor is a 'city seated on a moun tain that cannot be hid' and he was in consequence solicitous that there should be in his outward demeanor nothing that would not tend to excite in the minds of the seminarians a deeper apprecia tion of those lessons of piety he taught with his lips. And all were well aware that in him the external was a true index of the soul within. Though Father Gigot is gone, there is no danger that he will be forgotten. Such memories do not die ; and the out pouring of sorrow at the news of his death was an assurance that he will be in spirit with his former pupils, scattered as these are in parishes, colleges, seminaries and universities, here and abroad, throughout the years to come."

Of this number twenty were from other dioceses. The only change in the faculty this year was due to the departure of Dr. Ryan, who went to Europe. At the opening of the year a solemn anniversary Mass of Requiem was sung for the repose of the soul of the late Cardinal Farley. On October 12, eleven seminarians sailed for Rome to the American College. Owing to the war, no students had been sent since 1914. A reception was accorded the "Romans" by the stu dents before their departure. Before the Christmas holidays Father Quinn of the Cathedral brought the "Cathedral Minstrel Troupe" to the seminary, where they entertained the seminarians with a most enjoyable perfor mance. The proceeds of the performance went to reimburse a sadly depleted athletic fund. Among the distinguished visitors during this year were the Apostolic Delegate to Cuba, Archbishop Trocchi, Archbishop Dowling of St. Paul and Bishop Gannon of Erie. 160 RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK One of the big improvements which had to be made for the Jubilee Year was the installation of a new heating and lighting system. After twenty-five years of service the old machinery was worn out and had to be replaced by new equipment. The announcement of the purchase of the site for a seminary villa was made by Archbishop Hayes at the close of the scholastic year. The viUa is located at Suffern in the Ramapo Mountains about thirty-five miles from New York. The Preparatory Sem inary of Cathedral College, New York; St. Joseph's Theological Seminary, Dunwoodie, and St. Joseph's Villa at Suffern, give the archdiocese a complete series of grounds, buildings and equipment for the proper fostering and developing of the vocation of the fu ture priests. During the summer vacation the announcement was made that the Chancellor of the Diocese, the Very Rev. John J. Dunn, had been appointed by His Holiness Pope Benedict XV, Auxiliary Bishop of New York. As Director of the Propagation of the Faith, he had visited Dunwoodie every year and addressed the student body. His message of congratulation and encouragement on the work accomplished by the seminary branch of the society was ever an inspiration for new zeal and greater results. The faculty at the Jubilee Year consisted of the Right Rev. John P. Chidwick, D.D., President and Professor of Liturgy and Pastoral Theology ; the Rev. Gabriel Oussani, Ph.D., Church His tory and Italian ; the Rev. John F. Turner, D.D., Moral Theology and Canon Law; the Rev. Joseph T. Doyle, Spiritual Director; the Rev. Joseph McCarthy, Moral Theology and Canon Law ; the Rev. Arthur J. Scanlan, D.D., Psychology and Ethics; the Rev. Robert B. Mulcahey, D.D., Dogmatic Theology; the Rev.

The Seminary's Silver Jubilee The dual celebration of the fifteenth centenary of St. Jerome's death and the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of St. Jo seph's Seminary, Dunwoodie, which took place on Oct. 3 and 4, brought to their alma mater a notable representation of former students from all over the country. His Grace Archbishop Hayes presided at the Solemn High Mass on Monday, Oct. 3, and preached the sermon, an eloquent eulogy of the seminary and an inspiring discourse on St. Jerome. "We have come together this morning," he said, "for a two fold purpose. First, to commemorate the twenty-fifth year of the seminary, its silver jubilee, and to bring back to memory that day twenty-five years ago in the month of August when there gathered here the bishops, prelates and priests of this diocese and of neigh boring dioceses in order that this temple, this school of Christ, might be consecrated to the training of the priesthood of the Lord. Twenty-five years have gone by, and today not one of the bishops who were present on that occasion is living. Even very few of the priests of that day are living to describe that memorable occa sion. It is, therefore, fitting and proper that today we should lift up our hearts and minds and souls in the best way that appeals to Heaven ; thus through the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass we offer 162 RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK our expression of thanksgiving to the Most Blessed Trinity for having blessed this archdiocese through its seminary for the past twenty-five years. "The opening of this seminary was a great step in the advance of priestly training. We can look back to the days of Archbishop Hughes, Cardinal McCloskey, Archbishop Corrigan, our late la mented Cardinal Farley. Each in turn dreamed and prayed that the seminary might be realized, not merely as a physical monument but also as a spiritual edifice for the formation of the priests of the archdiocese. "Today we think of those prelates of great renown who have gone from us. What prophets they must have been ; what courage they must have possessed; what a spirit of love and what zeal must have possessed their souls. Today we are reaping the fruits of the shepherds who labored without ceasing and sacrificed with out end. Let us lift up our hearts on this occasion to Almighty God in thanksgiving for our noble seminary. "We might have appealed to the people to help us celebrate this occasion properly, but I did not feel the time was opportune. We shall await a more opportune hour when we shall bring to the attention of the faithful the call to the priesthood, the training of the young levite, and the constant interest all should take in the seminary. "To those who are in charge of the seminary, and to those of the clergy outside, you priests, you of the younger clergy, you must never forget that you are not true to the highest instinct of your priestly life unless you are true to the seminary, your Alma Mater. Think of it in prayer and realize that here is being formed and fashioned the clergy that shall take up the burden of our labors when we shall be called home. This is one of the greatest works of the diocese. The faithful yearn for a priestiiood worthy of the diocese, a priesthood that wUl ever be true, in every respect, to Christ Our Lord. "I pray that the Lord will bless this seminary and that it wUl continue its wonderful work for the glory of God and the salvation of souls. "The second purpose of the gathering here today is in answer to our Holy Father's Encyclical, 'Spiritus Paraclitus,' on the Catholic study of the Scriptures, which he takes occasion to em phasize on the fifteenth centenary of St. Jerome's death. Pope Benedict XV. directs the Bishops of the world to observe this event with due solemnity, that the attention of the clergy and especially of the seminarians may be centered in the glorious RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK 163 example of St. Jerome, 'the Great Doctor' of the Sacred Scriptures. "I must say that during the past few weeks, as I studied over the Encyclical very carefully, my own eyes have been opened, and my whole soul broadened by the way the Church teaches through its head a fundamental part of our holy faith. How marvelous is the way in which our Holy Father appeals to the world, bring ing to our minds historical and spiritual truths so little dreamed of in St. Jerome's life ! As Christ called Lazarus forth to give testi mony to His Divinity, so the Church today bids St. Jerome cry out that through his writings he may teach the excellence and authority of the Holy Scriptures, that through his spiritual life he may reveal the sweetness of the fruits which he culled 'from the bitter seed of his studies,' and finally, that through his principles and practise, he may impart the truly Catholic method of studying the Written Word of God. "St. Jerome stands before us after fifteen hundred years, show ing forth in his character a striking quality. It is that of sincerity. This is clearly impressed on my mind. He is sincerity itself. This characteristic virtue grew on him with the Divine help as he studied the Sacred Writings, and as sincerity means loyalty, St. Jerome was loyalty itself to the Church and to authority. "St. Jerome is presented to us that we may learn the lesson of sincerity. With all his learning, he might have lived for the world and become a great man as the world appraises greatness, but he turned to God because he was sincere with God. It was because he was sincere with Jesus Christ Whom the Holy Scriptures por tray that he made the Written Word of God live in his day, even as he would make it live in our day. His spirit is truly the spirit of St. John the Baptist standing on the banks of the Jordan, ready to baptize and acknowledge Christ. He cried out : 'Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.' So exclaims St. Jerome as he unfolds the Holy Scriptures for us : 'When I read the Gospels and see in them the testimonies of the Law and those of the prophets, I behold Christ alone.' It was this urgent sense of the presence of Christ which constrained St. Jerome to imitate Him, to 'put on' Christ, to be loyal to the Church in which Christ dwells. For this reason, we should listen to the voice of the Vicar of Christ when he exhorts us to read and study the Scriptures in the spirit of sincerity and faith, which St. Jerome showed. It is the counsel of Christ Himself : 'Search the Scriptures .... the same are they that give testimony to me' (John v, 39). "Have we been faithful in the reading of the Bible since we left the seminary? Has God's Holy Book become part of ourselves? 164 RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK Do we interpret it according to the mind of the Church, the guardian of the Holy Spirit? And yet, if we are lacking in the proper study of the Scriptures, how can we bring the truths con cerning Christ and His Church home to the people both within and without the pale of the Church? It looks as though the Holy Father is trying to save to the faith those outside the true fold. The Bible which is their only rule of faith they have, indeed, destroyed by their private interpretation and their human science. In his Encyclical the Holy Father insists on the Divinity of Christ, devotion to Mary the Mother of God, obedience to the mind of the Church and attachment to every word of Scripture. It is these lessons which are being driven home throughout the world this year, and, without doubt, those not of our faith, who have scrutin ized the Encyclical of Our Holy Father, have come to feel it deeply. "We are not only Sacerdotes; we are also Doctores. We must teach both the faithful and the stray sheep. We must have some thing besides scholarship. Ecclesiastical studies, indeed, wiU mean little unless the foundation be the Word of God. Hence, I appeal to you, dear Fathers, to take a deeper interest in the study of the Scriptures. As the years wear on, the veils of the Tabernacle wUl grow thinner, because we shall know Him better as we vision Him clearer in our meditations on the Holy Bible. May the day come when, our eyes no longer held, we may experience that burning of heart which the disciples on the road to Emmaus felt, as Jesus showed Himself through the Scriptures. "Tomorrow I have set aside the entire day to honor the fifteenth centenary of St. Jerome. In the morning, Solemn Mass wiU be celebrated, after which we shall attend the Scriptural conferences to be delivered by the seminarians, both in the morning and in the afternoon. The day will be closed with Solemn Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. To perpetuate this day and to give additional impetus to the study of the Sacred Scriptures, it is my intention to inaugurate in the seminary, the Society of St. Jerome. May the great saint bless our work here in the seminary, may our students ever be inspired with his love for the Word of God, and may his courage and zeal fill our hearts that we may perform great service in the vineyard of the Lord." At the conclusion of the Mass dinner was served at the seminary to two hundred and thirty of the clergy, the largest gathering of priests ever assembled in the dining hall. His Grace Archbishop Hayes was the host on the occasion, and among his guests were Bishop-elect John J. Dunn, nearly all the Monsignori, the heads of the religious orders of the archdiocese, the present and former RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK 165 members of the faculty, and over two hundred of the alumni. The seminary choir contributed vocal and instmmental musical num bers. Towards the close of the banquet. His Grace the Archbishop delivered the following words of welcome and congratulation to those present: "I want in the first place to express to you all how much I appreciate the splendid response to the invitation to come here and commemorate this silver jubilee of the seminary. At the same time it gives me an opportunity which I accepted this morning of saying a word that might inspire and stimulate you in regard to the study of Sacred Scripture. I thank each one of you for coming here, and indeed I feel that we should from time to time have a reunion like this at Dunwoodie, so that those of us who have gone forth from these haUs may not forget their Alma Mater. I have a feeling that it does us a great deal of good to come back to the seminary and catch some of its old time spirit and atmosphere, so that we may go out and bring to the people a greater consecration to our apostoHc work and labor. In regard to the twofold purpose in mind today, I feel that I have said all that might be said this morning with regard to the Sacred Scriptures. Tomorrow we shall conclude the celebration in honor of St. Jerome. The order of exercises will be as follows : Solemn Mass at half past nine, and a conference at eleven o'clock. In the afternoon there will be a conference at half past three and finally Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. I think that this celebration will go down in the annals of the seminary as a new step forward. We have come to our majority. "That the seminary may be commemorated a little more today, and that what we have done may receive additional inspiration I am going to call upon the Right Rev. Rector to address you. I feel that he is a living voice speaking for the seminary." At the conclusion of Monsignor Chidwick's address, His Grace expressed his deep appreciation and gratitude for the eloquent tribute paid by the Right Rev. Rector. "I am sure," he said, "we are very grateful to the Right Rev. Rector for his very eloquent and inspiring address, and it is certainly very consoling to me to hear this tribute to the priests of this diocese. As the years go along we feel that this great seminary will be more than true to his high ideals ; and as I have pointed out often to you the people of our day, our good CathoHc people, are demanding more and more of their Bishops, more and more of their priests, more and more of their Religious, and even more of our very dear Sisters. I feel that today has been a very happy day in the history of the diocese 166 RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK of New York, one that has added additional glory and tribute to Almighty God." The Right Rev. Monsignor Lavelle, speaking as a representative of the older clergy of the diocese, recalled the beginning of the seminary project by its great founder. Archbishop Corrigan, and paid a fine tribute to the seminary's rectors. The Archbishop then brought the celebration to a close with his blessing, and as the asemblage left the dining hall the alumni sang the songs of "Old Dunwoodie Days." AU who were present voted the celebration the most inspiring and most enthusiastic reunion e^c.r held at Dunwoodie, one worthy of the silver jubUee of the great seminary. The Inauguration of the Society of St. Jerome. In harmony with the spirit of the Encyclical Letter of Benedict XV. and the instructions connected therewith. His Grace the Most Rev. Archbishop appointed October 4 for the inauguration of the Society of St. Jerome at Dunwoodie. Solemn Mass was sung in the presence of his Grace by the Right Rev. Rector of the seminary. The academic exercises were held in the Theologians' Player Hall before the faculty and student-body. His Grace presided and opened the meeting with a short address. He said in part: "Today, the eyes of the entire archdiocese, spiritually speaking, are upon us as we begin this great movement for the deeper and fuller knowledge of the Sacred Scriptures. I am sure that the Holy Mass which we have just attended will bring blessings upon us and fill us with the light and strength needed by us to inaugurate this great society in accordance with the wishes of the Vicar of Christ Therefore, I, your Archbishop, formally declare this conference as the beginning of the St. Jerome Society in the seminary." Two papers were read at the morning conference and two at the afternoon. His Grace brought the conference to a close in an address which stmck a key-note. Having praised the papers for the thorough knowledge, wide sweep of vision and the stimulus to study which they afforded, he continued: "Imitate St. Jerome, the great Doctor of Scripture. He gives us a wonderful example of consecration to prayer and study. How he labored and prayed. What a spirit of sacrifice and penance possessed his soul and drove him out into the desert to perfect him self for his life-work. Be filled with his spirit of sincere loyalty RECTORSHIP OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHIDWICK 167 to Christ and to His Church. For St. Jerome, the Voice of Peter was the Voice of Christ ; the authority of the Chair was the author ity of Christ. And St. Jerome was so filled with the spirit of Christ that he was consumed with the desire to suffer and die for Christ. Wherefore, let your life be in imitation of St. Jerome, 'For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain'." (Phil, i, 21). On December 29, 1921, the Board of Regents of the State of New York conferred upon the faculty of St. Joseph's Seminary the power to grant in course the degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of PhUosophy. The power to grant the Bachelor of Arts had been granted in 1909. CHAPTER X Dunwoodie's Record of Achievements Military Service If service to one's country during the critical days of war is one of the tests of patriotism, it cannot be said that the seminaries of the archdiocese have been in the least unpatriotic. The seminary at Fordham was closed in the early days of the Civil War because the members of its faculty were serving with the colors, or were ordered elsewhere to relieve others who had been caUed to the front. The seminarians were most interested in all the events of the war and rejoiced at every victory of the Union. In the "History of Troy" we read : "On more than one occasion it was hard to maintain the tradi tional discipline of a seminary. By the end of 1864 the Union armies began to carry everything before them in the South and all the great military events of those times were anxiously watched and victories enthusiastically cheered at St. Joseph's. Sherman's march through Georgia, the surrender of Charleston and other successes could not fail to reach the ears of the students and to arouse their patriotism. Thus, the second mentioned triumph was celebrated by an impromptu illumination of the front windows of the house and by a 'gentle' mobbing of the only 'Copperhead' in the seminary. The demonstration was of course against the rules and against charity as well, and it was quickly stopped by the superior who was promptly obeyed; but new victories did not on that account fail to be received with vigorous cheers. The South ern sympathizers then had to pay in other ways for their treason able feelings. Even of clerics, when their patriotic feelings are aroused, we may repeat the poet's question: 'Tantaene animis coelestibus iraef " Dunwoodie Seminary, whose very site is hallowed by the memo ries of George Washington and his army in the American Revolu tion, was represented in the Spanish-American War. Monsignor Chidwick performed many deeds of valor and heroism when the Battleship Maine, of which he was chaplain, was sunk in Havana Harbor. And Father Duffy, a member of Dunwoodie's faculty, in a less heroic, but not less noble capacity, served as chaplain to 168 DUNWOODIE'S RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS 169 the troops at Montauk Point, from which, as he afterwards de clared, he received nothing but "an attack of typhoid which sent him to the hospital for some months." Dunwoodie had an heredity, an environment and an inspiration which were destined to caU forth the highest manifestations of patriotism at the outbreak of the World War, and her service shows that she has surpassed the fondest expectations of her friends. His Eminence Cardinal Farley caUed for volunteer chap lains and at once every member of the faculty eligible placed his services at the disposal of his Eminence. Fathers Mitty and Mulcahey, and later Father Ryan, were accepted and joined the colors, and Father Eustace, in addition to his work at Dunwoodie, served as Knights of Columbus chaplain at Pelham Bay. That the Alumni of Dunwoodie responded in large numbers to this call of his Eminence is evident from the list of names received by him. When the second and third requests were made for more chaplains the applications came so fast that many parishes were in danger of being left without priests to minister to the faithful. Before the armistice was signed the Chaplain-Bishop had received applications from more than one hundred Dunwoodie Alumni, and of these eighty-eight were in active service while the remaining number were on the reserve list awaiting the next call for chaplains from Washington. WhUe it would scarcely be fair to single out any names or deeds for comment, yet the glory and fame of Father Duffy, the heroic chaplain of the fighting Sixty-ninth, and of Father John Brady, first over to the front with the Marines, both of them recipients of the Distinguished Service Cross, cannot be passed over without mention. And these men are the type of priests who went to the front with the American soldiers and sailors. Silentiy and cour ageously, whether in a camp miles from the trenches or right up in the thick of the firing, they did their duty for their God, their country, and their soldiers. To encourage, to console, to administer the Sacraments, to bury the dead, to write letters, to be all things to all men, to be another Christ in deed and truth, this was the work of the chaplains representing Dunwoodie in the great World War. Not only the priests, but also the seminarians, gave very prac tical proof of their patriotism during those critical days. Some joined the colors and went into the thickest of the fray; others passed summers preparing for the early ordinations of the "War Classes" which were destined to relieve others for chaplain's duties. And those in the lower classes responded with substantial contri- 170 DUNWOODIE'S RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS butions to every drive. Liberty Loan, Red Cross, Catholic War Activities, etc. Farm, clerical and camp work was performed by the seminarians during the summer vacations. And last, but not least, were the prayers and Masses daily offered by the community for God's blessing and protection on our soldiers and saUors and for final victory and peace for our country. The cheers and joy of the students of Troy at the news of the victory of Grant at the close of the Civil War were reiterated and redoubled by the students of Dunwoodie when Armistice Day announced the end of the war and the triumph of the grand old U. S. A. Dunwoodie had indeed responded nobly to the call of the country in the hour of need, unflinchingly had she taken her place at the front, and joyfully she celebrated the victory.

EDUCATION It is but natural to expect that Dunwoodie should have taken a very important part in the field of Catholic education and her record for the twenty-five years of her existence shows that she has not failed in her mission. Teachers, authors, lecturers, contri butors to periodicals and school superintendents are found among her alumni. The foUowing records wiU show the important con tributions that Dunwoodie has made to Catholic education: Professors in Seminaries, Universities and Colleges. — Of the forty-eight professors who have been members of the faculty of Dunwoodie, twenty-three have been students within her walls. Of the thirteen members who constitute the present faculty, all save three have been seminarians. at Dunwoodie. The following are those who have been members of the faculty and studied at Dunwoodie: Fathers Duffy, Brady, Herrick, Dean, Lynch, Hughes, Cassidy, Holland, Albert, Mitty, Scanlan, Mulcahey, Ryan, Nelson, Carroll, Scully, Shea, Turner, Doyle, Eustace, Donovan, Egan and Kreidel. The first professors of Cathedral College were gathered from the alumni of Dunwoodie and since the beginning nearly all the clerical staff of the college have been former students at St. Joseph's. The professors who were Dunwoodians are Fathers Richard O. Hughes, Joseph A. O'Connor, John F. Morgan, Wil liam F. Hughes, Bernard McQuade, Thomas Deegan, Francis Campbell, Martin Drury, William P. Little, Hamilton Shea, Joseph 172 DUNWOODIE'S RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS Boehles, Robert M. Gibson, John Moylan, Francis Garvey, George Zentgraf, George Kreidel, Eugene Callahan, Philip Furlong, Stephen Donahue, John Brady, Eugene MacDonald, Peter Lambe, and James Haughnay. At the opening of the College of Mount Saint Vincent, many of the professors at Dunwoodie and at Cathedral CoUege, by request of his Eminence Cardinal Farley, offered their services as teachers. Dr. John Brady was the first Vice-President; while listed among its professors have been the Reverend Fathers Francis E. Gigot, Francis P. Duffy, Edwin J. Ryan, Arthur Scanlan, Robert Mul cahey and Joseph Herrick of the seminary faculty; and Fathers John Morgan, Thomas Deegan, Hamilton Shea, and Eugene CaUahan came from Cathedral College. Rev. Matthew Duggan joined the faculty of Mount Saint Vincent in 1920. The Institute of Scientific Study, established to give extension courses to teachers under Catholic auspices, had as its director the Reverend William B. Martin and as professors the Reverends Francis P. Duffy and Arthur J. Scanlan. The College of New Rochelle has on its teaching staff the Very Rev. Thomas G. Carroll and the Rev. Joseph A. Brady. At the Catholic University the Rev. Patrick J. Healy, D.D., represents Dunwoodie as Professor of History. Other Dunwoodie alumni who teach at the University are the Rev. Patrick McCor mick, Ph.D., Professor of Education and director of the Pedagogy department; the Rev. Francis O'Reilly, Associate Professor of Dogmatic Theology, and the Rev. Graham Reynolds, Assistant Profesor of Latin. In 1903 the Catechetical School for teachers was founded by Father Fenelon of the faculty. The work was continued by the Rev. John F. Brady and the Rev. Samuel McPherson. School Superintendents. — In the all-important field of parochial and Catholic high schools Dunwoodie is well represented. The Rev. Michael Larkin is in charge of the schools of Westches ter County, and the Rev. William Dooley and the Rev. John J. Moylan supervise in Dutchess and Putnam Counties; Rev. John Mitty looks after the schools of Orange, Rockland, Sullivan and Ulster Counties ; the Rev. Joseph McClancy is Superintendent o'f the Brooklyn parochial schools ; the Rev. Joseph Dunney is Super intendent of the schools of the Albany diocese, the Rev. Robert Booth of the High Schools of Ogdensburg, and the Rev. Matthew Delaney is in charge of the Sunday Schools of the Archdiocese of New York. Many of the alumni are in charge of the parish parochial schools DUNWOODIE'S RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS 173 whUe still others perform the no less important task of instructing the young in the parochial and high schools. Lecturers.— The lecture field is also well represented by the alumni who give their services most willingly in the cause of truth and charity. Periodicals Published at Dunwoodie. — The Homiletic Monthly was founded in 1900 under the editorship of the Rev. John F. Brady, D.D. The members of the faculty were among its most frequent contributors and, as the Rev. John Talbot Smith wrote : "Dunwoodie had a share in the publishing of a Homiletic Monthly which won attention and praise from an interested pubHc." The New York Review was founded in 1905 and continued to be published until 1909. Authors of Books. — Rev. Francis E.

Hayes directed that a survey be made of the agencies and institutions engaged in social service. As a result of the information received, his Grace launched a drive for members and contributions for the estabUsh ment of a central organization for aU the charities of the arch diocese. The drive was eminently successful, the members pledg ing themselves to give practically a million dollars a year for three years. The direction of the drive and the formation of the central office were under the personal supervision of the Archbishop, who appointed as his Secretary for Charities the Rev. Robert F. Keegan. The directors of the various departments are all alumni of Dun woodie and the success which has crowned their efforts is an indi cation that during their seminary days the knowledge and the love and the zeal for the poor were not neglected. Following the survey and enrollment campaign the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York was organized in May, 1920, for these purposes : (1) To coordinate the work of aU Catholic Charities activities within the diocese, whether individual, organizational or institu tional. (2) To avoid duplication and, by direction and supervision, increase the efficiency of the various groups and agencies. (3) To plan and promote new charities when such are required and to buUd up and extend the scope of those which have already been established. The following members of the Dunwoodie Alumni constitute the staff under the presidency of the Most Reverend Archbishop : Secretary of Charities, Rev. Robert F. Keegan; Division of Health, Rev. John F. Brady, D.D., Rev. Joseph S. O'ConneU; Division of Social Action, Rev. John McCahiU, Rev. John White; Division of Children, Rev. Bryan J. McEntegart, and Division of Finance, Rev. Edward A. Hayes. Department of Correction. — The Department of Correction, known asi the Catholic Protective Society, was founded by the 176 DUNWOODIE'S RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS Rev. Thomas J. Lynch, a former member of the faculty of Dun woodie. This society has accomplished very much in the prevention of crime and the restoration of persons who have been found guilty of crimes that were punishable with prison terms. The department heads are as follows : General Director, Rev. Thomas J. Lynch ; Assistant Director, Rev. Arthur J. Avard ; CathoHc Big Brothers' League, Rev. John B. Kelly. Other Offices. — Besides the Departments of Charities and Correction there are many special offices in the diocese held by the alumni who are engaged in social service, among which are : Director of Child Welfare Board, Rev. William Courtney; Director of Holy Name Mission (Bowery), Rev. William Rafter; Assistants of Holy Name Mission (Bowery), Rev. John Murphy, Rev. James A. Quinn; Director of Catholic Seamen's Mission, Rev. PhUip McGrath; Director of Catholic Chinese Mission, Rev. William Jordan; Director of Catholic Guardian Society, Rev.

MISSION SERVICE New York Apostolate The New York Apostolate Mission Band, instituted in 1897 by the Most Reverend Archbishop Corrigan, is bound by very close ties to Dunwoodie. The headquarters in those early days were at the seminary and most of its members were alumni of Dunwoodie. Father Cusack was the first superior and was at the head of the work until April 1904, when he was consecrated Auxiliary Bishop of New York. The Rev. WiUiam J. Guinan, D.D. was the second superior. He served from April, 1904, to March, 1909, and was succeeded by the Rev. WiUiam A. Courtney, who had the position from March, 1909, to February, 1911. Then the Rev. Thomas F. Kane took charge untU December, 1916, when the Rev. John E. Wickham 178 DUNWOODIE'S RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS became the fifth superior. The Apostolate had residence, in the beginning, at Dunwoodie. During part of 1898, the band lived at Bedford Park, but in December, 1898, the residence was at St. Theresa's rectory. New York City. In June, 1907, the priests moved to St. Stephen's, East Twenty-ninth Street, and here they have had their home for fourteen years. The following alumni of St. Joseph's Seminary have been mem bers of the New York Apostolate : Reverends William A. Court ney, Michael A. Reilly, Thomas F. Kane, Andrew T. Roche, John E. Wickham, James H. McGinnis, Joseph B. ScuUy, Joseph C. Fleming, Dudley R. Tierney, Martin F. Cavanagh, Francis A. Fadden, George J. Hafford and WiUiam R. McCann. The Rev. John Collins is on the Mission Band in Albany. In January, 1922, the New York Apostolate completed a quarter of a century of labor. Its last annual report summarizes the work of twenty-five years as follows : Total Number of Missions 1,208 Number of Missions to Catholics 936 Number of Missions to Non-Catholics 272 Number of Missions gratis 303 Number of Converts 5,138 Number of Catholics Prepared for Confession, Communion and Confirmation 15,047 Number of Mission Confessions 906,894 276 churches and 20 dioceses were recipients of missions, as follows : New York, 197 ; Philadelphia, 17; Newark, 13 ; Brooklyn, 8; Trenton, 8; Albany, 7; Syracuse, 5; Charleston, 4; Kingston, Canada, 3 ; Baltimore, 2 ; Hartford, 2 ; Pittsburgh, 2, and one each in Boston, Cleveland, Harrisburg, Nashville, Richmond, St. Augustine, Wilmington, and Montreal. To give missions to Catholics in poorer places, to present Catholic Truth to non-Catholics and to preach Catholic missions in larger parishes of the diocese is the threefold object of the band. The foUowing appreciation of the work accomplished is taken from an article by the Rev. John E. Wickham in the Catholic World: "Has the parochial mission idea, as interpreted by the New York Apostolate won any measure of success ? In answering that question, we must judge by actual records. During the twenty- five years almost every parish, both in city and country district, has been visited. In some parishes four, five and six missions have been given. Many calls have been received from other dio ceses ; comparatively few, however, could be accepted. Altogether DUNWOODIE'S RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS 179 936 missions to Catholics have been preached and almost a million confessions have been heard. Only the silent Lord knows of the peace — such as the world could not give — that He gave to the souls in His mission tribunals. It has been a varied procession that has passed through the doors of the churches on those early morn ings and late evenings of twenty-four years. The rich and the lowly, the gentle and the simple, the scholar and the unlearned, the sinner and the saint,-^all of them are in that mighty host that came to the Master's teaching. Leaving aU things they foUowed Him trustfully and He led them to the hiUs of eternal peace." The foUowing tribute was paid the New York Apostolate by Archbishop Hayes on the completion of their twenty-five years of service : "My dear Father Wickham: The report of the work of the New York Apostolate for the past twenty-five years has been just received. While thanking you for the preparation of the telling data in its brief, statistical form, my mind quickly attempts to translate the cold figures into a spiritual equivalent, the ultimate value of which, of course, God alone may measure. For this we must wait until the Judgment when the Angel of the Book of Life wiU unfold the story of the work and the workers in the Vineyard of the Lord. "The New York Apostolate has been singularly favored in its personnel, its spirit, and its labors. Consistent and continuous has been its policy of burning zeal for souls within and wiftiout the Kingdom of Christ. It has repaired and built for Christ solidly and safely, far and near. Among outsiders it has contributed much to a wholesome reverence for the Church, her doctrines and her practises. "Moreover, the Apostolate has walked unfalteringly before the clergy and the faithful in the true missionary spirit, which, devoid of controversy and marked by humility, relies on the grace of Christ and the power inherent in Divine Revelation, to wm back the erring of the household of the faith and to lead to the bosom of the Church other sheep not of the fold. "May the coming years find the New York Apostolate blessed by Christ with even greater spiritual fervor and unction for the preaching of the word and the saving of souls. "With a blessing on yourself and your companions m the Apos tolate, I am, FaitiifuUy yours in Christ, •i- "Patrick J. Hayes, "Archbishop of New York." 180 DUNWOODIE'S RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS Propagation of the Faith. — The Propagation of the Faith is another fertile mission field in which the Alumni and student body have played a prominent part. It has had as diocesan director the Rev. James Harley and as assistant directors, the Rev. Thomas McCormick, Rev. Patrick O'Connor, Rev. Joseph Boehles and the Rev. Francis Shea. The Chinese Mission has as its director the Rev. W. Jordan. In the mission work among the negroes, we find the name of Rev. Charles Edwards, whUe Dunwoodie is represented in the mission work among the Indians by the Rev. William Hughes. In addition to these a band of sem inarians spent their summer vacations among the missions of North Carolina; and the financial spiritual support given the Society of the Propagation of the Faith and the Foreign Missions Seminary at MaryknoU, indicates that the mission spirit is weU developed among the students of Dunwoodie. Missionary work in the hospitals of the diocese was started under the direction of the Rev. John F. Brady, D.D., in 1921. Fifty priests of the Dunwoodie Alumni are devoting one day each week to service in the various hospitals. To administer the Sacra ments, to give religious instruction, to perform the corporal and spiritual works of mercy are among the services rendered by these priests in their weekly visitations. Hospitals both Catholic and non-Catholic to the number of twenty-five are now being attended and the work is rapidly developing. Outside Dioceses and Religious Communities While Dunwoodie is considered the New York seminary, the doors have ever been open to other dioceses as often as accommo dations permitted. Preference has always been given to the diocese of Albany which has twelve burses at Dunwoodie and it is a weU known fact that the majority of these applicants who were the most successful in the seminary entrance examinations selected the New York seminary as their choice. The diocese of Brooklyn for many years sent students to Dunwoodie and the services they have ren dered in their priestly careers reflects the highest credit on their diocese and their Alma Mater. From 1907 Trenton sent most of its seminarians to Dunwoodie and it was with mutual feelings of regret that in 1919 the decision was made that, owing to the crowded conditions, no more students from other dioceses could be accepted. It is rather a matter of pride to note that free burses for the edu cation of seminarians of dioceses whose resources were meagre DUNWOODIE'S RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS 181 were granted by the late Cardinal and the present Archbishop of New York. These authorities have ever accorded permission to any seminarian who has a desire to give his services in the priesthood to a needy diocese of the West or South to remain at Dunwoodie. With the permission of Archbishop Hayes, the Bishop of Salt Lake during the past year addressed the students and as a result of his appeal for priests two of the New York men became affili ated with this diocese. This aspect of the seminary will continue to grow as increased accommodations, more vocations and less pressing diocesan needs permit. Thus, Dunwoodie, while retaining its character of a diocesan seminary, wUl continue to serve as a nursery for the needy dioceses of the country. In its record of services to Religious communities Dunwoodie has fulfilled its mission. The annual address to the seminarians delivered by one of the Fathers from Maryknoll has succeeded in affUiating New York seminarians to the work of the Foregin Mis sions. During the past year a student in theology left Dunwoodie to enter MaryknoU. Another institution connected with Dun woodie is the Society of the Atonement, of which the Very Rev. Paul James Francis is the superior. He was a student at Dun woodie from which he was ordained. The Society of Jesus has received the Rev. Hugh Harmon. The Rev.

The cost of purchasing the grounds on Valentine Hill and erecting the building represented an outlay of over a million dollars, all of which was paid by the con tributions of the faithful clergy and the loyal laity. The chapel costing $100,000 was the personal gift of Archbishop Corrigan. In 1898 when as a result of Parish contributions, Bishop Farley presented a check of $250,000 to Archbishop Corrigan at Carnegie Hall on the occasion of his silver jubilee, it was announced that the seminary was free of debt and the date for consecration was set for 1900. It was then felt that an annual assessment for the support of the seminary and the tuition to be paid by the student body during their course or, if such was impossible, when they became priests, would be sufficient to keep the seminary out of debt and in good repair. The tuition was then placed at $225 a year and a parish assessment was assigned to meet any deficit. A plot on the northwest corner of the grounds owned by the James Gordon Bennett estate was purchased for a fair price and Dunwoodie was now bounded by four public roads. Shortly after a strip of property directiy south of the building and across the road was purchased so as to secure the seminary in that privacy which is to be desired in the training of priests. In 1907 the build ing of a new wing which was planned in the original structure was started. It gave fifty additional rooms to the men, the necessity of which was shown from the fact that not only was the wing fiUed when completed but soon after the rooms had been used as double rooms. As living quarters for male employees and for a stable and garage, a combination stone building was erected in 1916. In 1917, on account of the tendency of residents on the northern outskirts of the grounds to use the seminary grounds as a public park, a stone wall and iron railing was erected in the most exposed parts of the property. Shortiy after, the condition of the main road became such that it was necessary to build a new one and a block road and pavement was laid. The last structure to be erected was the building over the power-house which was renovated and enlarged by the addition of another story. Owing to the increased number of domestics in the laundry, kitchen and main buUding, this additional accommodation was necessary. The levelling and beautifying of the grounds, the erection of the statue of "Christ, the Light of the World," and the addition of shrubbery, paths and DUNWOODIE'S RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS 183 athletic fields completed the material improvements made during the past twenty-five years to beautify Dunwoodie. The higher cost of living expenses added to the expenditures for the above improvements, maintenance, and overhead expenses soon placed the seminary in d6bt. To offset this two methods were introduced; an increase in parish assessments and an increase in tuition to $300. Economy was practiced on every side but the debt is stiU a heavy one. That this situation is not peculiar to Dun woodie but is tme of most institutions may be realized from a re cent letter from the Rev. Dr. Dyer of St. Mary's, Baltimore, to the bishops of the United States, who send students to that institution : "The average number of students for the last year here in Balti more was three hundred and fifty-one, and the average cost to the seminary for the board and tuition of each one was $331.35. The amount received for each student was $275, making a loss from board and tuition of $56.25 on each student. The head of a sem inary informed me that the per capita cost for his institution was nearly $600, and that in two other seminaries which he named it was over that amount. In the last year's financial statement of another seminary the cost of a heating plant, $25,490.94, was paid by the diocesan chancery. Now, dear Bishop, you see that it is quite impossible for us to continue to run the seminary on the pres ent basis. It would mean bankruptcy. We shall, therefore, be obliged to make a charge of $350 for the next school year, 1921- 1922." The Financial Record of the Seminarians The question is often asked how much does it cost a young man or better still his parents to educate him for the priesthood. In answering this question it is to be borne in mind that the recent high cost of living has had a very important bearing on the semi narian. While the tuition rates have been advanced from $225 to $300, there is no attempt to collect any of it from those who cannot afford to pay while in the seminary. Lack of finances has never been placed as an obstacle at Dunwoodie to a student going on for the priesthood. No knowledge of payment or non-payment gets beyond the Treasurer's private records and as a result no distinc tions or embarrassments have been made or felt at the seminary. To get a real knowledge of the money expended in order to be come a priest, a questionnaire was submitted to the student body. It was felt that the parochial or public school education was the common lot required by law of all, and that the expenditure ought to be calculated from the student's entrance into a high school or Cathedral CoUege, where the remote preparation began. The 184 DUNWOODIE'S RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS course divides itself into six years of Cathedral College and six years seminary, and the expenditures per year at the college are $475, and at the seminary $720. To meet these expenditures various means have to be resorted to. The tuition at the college in many cases is paid by a priest or parish or relative, while the seminary tuition (in many cases) is placed on the debit side until the seminarian is ordained. The other expenditures have to be met by home or by friends. In a few cases this has been augmented by some who are able to secure positions during the summer vacations. The Sisters of Charity One of the new features introduced at the opening of Dun woodie and one which caused much comment at that time was the installation of the Sisters of Charity. At Troy, and in most cleri cal institutions up to that time, the material needs of the house had been taken care of by a community of lay Brothers or by hired lay men. It was felt by his Grace, Archbishop Corrigan, that the advent of Sisters would be a benefit in the culinary department, in the cleanliness of the house and in imparting an atmosphere of piety and refinement. That his ideas and hopes were realized, is evident from the fact that since that time most other institutions have followed his example. The comment of visitors to Dun woodie is the cleanliness and preservation of the house after twen ty-five years of constant use; a fact which redounds to the great credit of the Sisters. Once a week every student's room receives a thorough overhauling and not a particle of dust or dirt remains in rooms or corridors after these silent and faithful religious finish their work. The kitchen, the laundry, the Hnen room, the infirmary and the chapels are all under their special care, and to see and ex perience what they have done is to be convinced. The Sisters have a wing of the building for themselves in which is their own parlor, dining room and chapel. Their great day of consolation is ordination day when they see the students for whom they have worked and toUed advanced to the dignity of the priest hood. When they see the newly ordained priests on their return to dinner at Dunwoodie, and when they kneel and receive a blessing from their newly consecrated hands their consolation and joy is complete. As a little token of their esteem and affection the Deacons have given an entertainment and a present to the Sisters once a year on the Sister Servant's feast day. After ordination each priest returns to offer a Mass in the Sister's chapel for those whose services have meant more in preparing him for the priest hood than words could tell or deeds repay. DUNWOODIE'S RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS 185 Forty two Sisters of Charity have served at Dunwoodie during the twenty-five years of its existence. Of the original ten who came at the opening but two remain — Sisters Mary Angelus and Teresa Mary. There have been three superiors during that period : Sister Marie Therese (1898-1912); Sister Teresa Gonzaga 1912- 1919) and Sister Frances Agnes (1919-1921). The number of Sisters at any given year in the seminary has varied between the original number of ten and the fourteen at the present time. Of the forty-two who gave their services to Dunwoodie, eleven have been caUed to their reward in the kingdom of heaven. Their graves are marked by a little wooden cross at the cemetery at Mount St. Vincent, but their memories are enshrined in the hearts and prayers of an appreciative and grateful Alumni. The foUow ing list of names will recall to the Alumni many deeds of kindness and many a prayer for their vocations uttered by these religious women before the tabernacle in their little chapel or in the gallery at the services in the students' chapel : Date of Name Entrance Sister Marie Therese 1896 Sister Mary Marcella 1896 Sister Marie Ambrose 1896 Sister Teresa Arthur 1896 Sister Frances Gonzaffa 1896 Sister Teresa Anastasia 1896 Sister Rose Austin 1896 Sister Mary Angelus 1896 Sister Teresa Mary 1896 Sister Jane de Chantal 1896 Sister Marie Ligouri 1898 Sister Marie UrsuUna 1899 Sister Marie Louise 1899 Sister Rose Carmel 1898 Sister Stella Rose 1900 Sister Mary Bertrand 1905 Sister Mary Padua 1903 Sister Mary Nicolina 1901 Sister Vincent Loyola 1907 Sister Mary Adalbert 1908 Sister Marie Stanislaus 1908 Sister Maria Fidelis 1909 Sister Teresa Gonzaga 1912 Sister Mary Amice 1914 Sister Mary Jeromina 1914 Sister Mary Constantine 1900 Sister Mary Martin 1916 Sister M.

While the financial resources of the Alumni have never been very large, it is a matter of interest to note that its treasury has ever been open to every cause connected with Alma Mater. Among those it has aided are the St. Vincent de Paul Society of the seminary, which during each year of its existence received a generous offering from the treasury. The Dunwoodie burse at Maryknoll started by the seminarians has also been a recipient. At the jubilee of Dr. Dris coll in 1912, a purse of $2,500 was an indication of the esteem with which he was held by the members of the Alumni. It was on the same occasion that a gold watch was presented to another jubilarian the Rev. John R. Mahony. On the departure of the first president, the Very Rev. C. R. Dyer, the Alumni presented to the seminary an oil painting by the famous artist. Professor Dantin. A painting of the second rector, the Very Rev. James Driscoll, was also pre sented by the Alumni and hangs in the students' refectory. On the occasion of the death of Sister Marie Therese, Sister Servant at Dunwoodie for sixteen years, a set of resolutions was presented to the Sisters by the Alumni. On December 23, 1917, a set of reso lutions was read and presented in the presence of the faculty and student body in the name of the Alumni to the Very Rev. John P. Chidwick, D.D., on the celebration of his silver jubilee. The object and by-laws of the association are thus set forth in the constitution of the Society : (1) This association shall be called the Alumni Association of St. Joseph Seminary, Dunwoodie, New York. Its object is to co operate in perpetuating the spirit of fraternal union among the Alumni. (2) AU priests who have been enrolled as students at St. Joseph's Seminary, Dunwoodie, New York, and received Major Orders are ipso facto members of the association. All priests who have studied at least one year at the seminary and have studied and been ordained elsewhere, are to be notified of their eligibility to member ship by the secretary, and, if desirous may be elected by a two-third vote of the association. The professors of the seminary shall be ex-officio honorary members of the association. (3) In this association there shaU be an honorary president and an honorary vice-president, the Most Reverend Archbishop of New DUNWOODIE'S RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS 187 York and the Very Reverend Rector of the seminary, respectively. The officers of this association shaU be a president and three vice- presidents, a secretary, a treasurer, and a historian. (4) A Solemn Mass of Requiem shall be celebrated annually for the deceased alumni and for all those who died while students of the seminary. The date of the celebration of this Requiem shaU be arranged by the executive committee and should be fixed as near as possible to the feast of AU Souls. Each alumnus shall celebrate an nually one Mass for both the living and the dead members of the association. A reminder of this charitable obhgation should be ap pended to the notice of the Solemn Requiem Mass. Of the 1,217 applicants who entered Dunwoodie to study for the priesthood in its twenty-five years, 788 were ordained ; 268 belong to classes now in the seminary, and 243 did not continue. The ma jority of the latter gave up because of the decision that they had no vocation. Others withdrew because of physical weakness; some because of home conditions which necessitated their financial sup port. Some returned to Dunwoodie or to other seminaries after a few years of trial in the world had emphasized their call to the priesthood or the restoration of health, or settling of home con ditions had again left them free to continue. Of the 241 who re mained as laymen, many are found among the professions, judges, lawyers, doctors and teachers, a credit to the Church, and to their education at Dunwoodie. The charter which the seminary has secured to grant the degree of Bachelor of Arts has been of invalu able assistance in the taking up of professional careers. It is a matter of intense satisfaction to note that the old notion of a "spoiled" priest is being replaced by the expression of "Apostle- ship" among the laity and many have been zealous in their chosen fields. The path of Hfe is not an easy one for the seminarian who decides that he has no vocation for the priesthood. The disappoint ment at home when the announcement is made, the struggle required in giving up companions whose friendship has been his joy, in facing a world in which he must fight his way from the lowest step, requires the highest type of courage and character, for it would be easier to go along the lines of least resistance. The fact that the great majority of those who have left the seminary have faced these ordeals and have faced them successfully is due in no small measure to the training received in Dunwoodie's halls and to the words of encouragement and advice from faculty and stu dents. In her twenty-five years of existence, Dunwoodie is proud of the record of these Apostles of the laity whom the Lord destines for other fields in His Vineyard. 188 DUNWOODIE'S RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS The following records indicating the number of the laity in each class is a sufficient proof of the fact that the seminary is not only a training place for the future priest, but serves also the purpose of knowing and testing one's vocation.

Total, 1,217. THE FACULTY If the success of any institute of learning depends on its faculty rather than on its natural equipment, then the importance of place occupied by the faculty of a seminary can be realized. Their func tion is not merely to impart knowledge but to serve as priestly examplars for the young men who are training to be priests of the Lord. Their responsibility does not cease with the enforcement of DUNWOODIE'S RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS 189 discipline and the preparation of daily lectures since it is on their judgment and decision that the "call" to orders depends. Knowl edge which requires years of preparation, piety of the most saintly type, keen and prudent judgment of character, ability to impart the most abstract truths of religion, and a vocation to lead a mon astic life of sacrifice are among the requirements of a seminary faculty. That these qualifications have been exemplified in no smaU degree is evident from a perusal of the names and deeds of those who constitiited the faculty of St. Joseph's Seminary during the twenty-five years of its existence. Some of the members have served for many years, some came and went, after a short stay, whUe otiiers breathed their last breath within its walls, but one and all irnparted a lesson and helped in the formation of that Dun woodie spirit which has been an asset of no mean proportion in the formation of the priests who have gone from its haUs. If Dunwoodie has met with success no smaU measure of appreciation must be ascribed to those forty-eight priests who gave of their best to the seminary. The Faculty Register No. _ _ of Years Very Rev.

COLLEGES REPRESENTED AT DUNWOODIE Many colleges have prepared men for entrance to Dunwoodie during these twenty-five years, and it reflects the highest credit on the influence yielded by the different teaching Orders that their representatives have acquitted themselves so well. A spirit of good natured rivalry, as a result of the loyalty to the various Alma Maters, which has manifested itself on the baU field, the Literary 192 DUNWOODIE'S RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS Society, and in class work, and has been a factor in developing the best type of priest. This association of the representatives of the alumni of different colleges has tended to broaden the views of life and ward off the dangers of provincialism. In the early days of Dunwoodie the two great feeders of the seminary were the Colleges of St. Francis Xavier and Manhattan; and many an Alumnus will recall the intense but good-natured rivalry existing between the "Jesuits' Boys" and the "Christian Brothers." With deep regret was the announcement received that no longer would these two colleges to whom Dunwoodie owed so much send their representatives to the seminary. In 1900 the teaching of Latin was prohibited at Manhattan and while a few have come to the seminary since then, the annual group of the old "Jaspers" going up to Dunwoodie to begin their course was no longer in evidence. In 1908 the Jesuit Fathers transferred the college department of St. Francis Xavier's to Fordham and later to Brooklyn and thus ended a long and fruitful line of graduates wending their way to Dunwoodie each September. The loss of these two great colleges was however compensated for by the opening of Cathedral CoUege in 1903 under the presidency of his Grace the Most Reverend Patrick J. Hayes. In 1907 the first graduating class came to Dunwoodie and since that time there has been a numerous supply of Cathedral College graduates. The reasons for starting Cathedral College received ample justification when the numbers coming to Dunwoodie each year removed one source of solicitude to the diocesan authorities, the problem of vocations. Among the other colleges which have given of their quota to Dunwoodie mention must be made of St. Charles College, a preparatory seminary con ducted by the Sulpicians at EUicott City, Maryland; the Jesuit colleges of Fordham, Holy Cross, Brooklyn, St. Joseph and Georgetown ; the University of Notre Dame, Indiana ; the College of St. Michael's, Toronto ; the Seminary and CoUege of Mount St. Marys, Emmitsburg; St. Thomas's CoUege, ViUanova, Pennsyl vania ; the Catholic University at Washington, St. John's, Brook lyn; St. Thomas's, Scranton; St. Laurent's, Montreal. The old rivalry between St. Francis Xavier's and Manhattan has given way to the line up between Cathedral College and the combined representatives of all other colleges. Three great institutions of learning, the American College, Rome; the Catholic University, Washington, and the Fordham School of Social Service, have been the recipients of students from Dunwoodie. Each September it is a familiar sight to stand at the pier and bid bon voyage to a group of three or four seminarians DUNWOODIE'S RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS 193 who have been selected by the faculty to go to the American College to take up their theological studies. In the twenty-five years of its existence Dunwoodie has sent to the American College in Rome sixty-two of its students and their record in Rome as students, as well as their services to the diocese in the priesthood, reflects the highest credit on both the American College and Dunwoodie. Every year two or three students from the deacon class are selected for post graduate work at the Catholic University. Early ordination in September and a two years' course in a special branch which may be service to the diocese is the usual procedure. In this way the future professors of the seminary and Cathedral CoUege, the future school superintendents and heads of the de partments in social service are trained. In the course of twenty- five years Dunwoodie has sent eighty priests to take post graduate courses at Washington, a record which speaks weU of the hearty support which New York has given to the University. Four of the Alumni have been members of the teaching staff, the Rev. Patrick J. Healy, D.D., Professor of History; the Rev. Patrick McCormick, Ph.D., Dean of the School of Pedagogy; the Rev. Francis C. O'ReUly, D.D., Associate Professor of Dogma and the Rev. Graham Reynolds, Associate Professor of Latin. Many of the Alumni have taken up special courses at the Ford ham School of Sociology in order to prepare themselves for special fields of labor. Among the teaching staff appears the names of the Rev. Edwin Ryan, D.D. ; the Rev. Robert Keegan, and the Rev. Thomas Deegan, D.D. Six of the Alumni have taken post graduate courses at the Pontifical Roman Seminary. Four have studied at Innsbruck; two at St. Sulpice, France; one at the Minerva, Rome; one at Louvain, Belgium; one at the Biblical Institute; one at the Pontifical School of Plain Chant, and one at Oxford, England.

Faculty, student body, alumni and the Sisters have each in turn given their quota. During the year the seminary offers Mass for the deceased while it is a holy practice of the Dunwoodie Alumni to assist at the solemn Mass each November for the deceased members. In addition memorial cards of the dead are distributed and each alumnus promises to offer a Mass for his former asso ciates. The following is a list of the dead: Class. Date. Diocese.

Quinn, '22; Joseph Kane, 'Ott RECORD OF STUDENTS In September 1896 Dunwoodie started with 98 students, 84 of whom were for the diocese of New York and 14 for other dioceses. After five years of its existence the number had grown to 151 of whom 105 were for New York and 46 for other dioceses. For the next five years there was very littie growth but after fifteen years of existence we find that the number had mounted to 176 of whom 135 were for New York and 41 for other dioceses. Then came a period of very rapid increase until the apex was reached DUNWOODIE'S RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS 197 in 1917 with an attendance of 278 of whom 212 were for New York and 66 for other dioceses. In twenty years the number had almost trebled itself going from 98 to 278. It is a matter of inter est to note that of this number 66 were for dioceses other than New York, a number which almost equalled the entire number of students for New York at the opening of the seminary. It was in this year that the decision was made to accept no more students from outside dioceses save those who came on burses. Though the decision was regrettable from many points of view there was no alternative as the seminary was then fiUed to its utmost capacity and war prices had made building the new PhUosophy house impossible. As a result of this policy as also on account of the influence of the war on vocations the number during the past year has decreased to 238 of whom 20 are for other dioceses. This number however does not include the twelve students who were sent to the American College at Rome in September of 1920. A glance at the record shows that from the point of view of preparing young men for the priesthood Dunwoodie has not only equalled but surpassed the fondest expectations of those who planned it in its early days. In fact were it not for the restrictions placed on admission of seminarians owing to lack of space, Dunwoodie's attendance today would probably be around the 500 mark and it would not be rash to place it at the thousand mark within the next twenty-five years of its existence.

Since that time representatives of the hierarchy from the various countries of Europe who have visited America have paid visits to the New York seminary before return ing. As an indication of the number of visitors it is of interest to note that during the previous scholastic years Dunwoodie was honored by visits from Cardinal Mercier, Archbishop Bonzano, Archbishop Mannix ; the EngHsh Commission to honor Cardinal Gibbons which included Bishop Keating, Monsignor Barnes and Shane Leslie ; the French Commission which included the Bishop of Arras, and Monsignor BaudriUart; the Commission from the Isle of Wight to the Gregorian Congress, Dom Mocquereau and Dom Gatard. During the twenty-five years of its existence Dunwoodie has been the host to ten Cardinals, twenty-two Archbishops, over twenty Bishops, a number of distinguished scholars and a long line of missionaries. From the Cardinal Delegate of the Holy Father to the missionary priests in far-off lands they have come to Dunwoodie, addressed the student body, left their impress on the character of the future priests, and departed with the prayers and good wishes of the seminarians. The following list of visitors is but a partial list of those who have brought inspiration, knowledge and honor to the Seminary and who in turn have gone away with the feeling that they had received a real Dunwoodie welcome and hospitality.

SEMINARY ORGANIZATIONS There are many organizations at Dunwoodie to help the student in his seminary career, and in his work in after years in the priesthood. They are aU organized by the student body with one of tiie faculty as director, to keep the continuity and to give the encouragement necessary for permanent growth. These vari ous organizations respond to various needs, and form valuable assets in developing in the student body that sense of responsibility and zeal which is an essential part of the priestly character. The organizations may be listed as spiritual, intellectual and physical, according as their primary end is to develop one of these aspects. Spiritual Organizations: League of the Sacret Heart; Propa gation of the Faith ; Third Order of St. Francis ; The Apostolic Union; The Total Abstinence Union; Eucharistic League; The Seminary Choir. 200 DUNWOODIE'S RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS InteUectual Organizations : The Literary Society ; The Sociologi cal Society ; The Apologetic Society. Athletic Organizations : The Athletic Association. LECTURES It has been the custom since the opening of Dunwoodie to invite a lecturer to address the student body each month of the scholastic year. The seminarians have thus had the advantage of listening to a variety of interesting and practical topics presented by specialists engaged in particular fields of service. Among the benefits received by the future priests from these lectures are inspiration, knowledge, methods, contact with the ministry and zeal in the service of the Master. The foUowing is a partial Hst of the lecturers who have addressed the seminarians during the past twenty-five years and to whom Dunwoodie owes a special debt of gratitude : Prelates — Cardinals, Farley, Gasquet and Mercier.

SPIRITUAL ORGANIZATIONS The League of the Sacred Heart. — One of the first societies to be established by the student body was the League of the Sacred Heart of which practically every student in the seminary is a member. Having as its special object the cultivation of devotion to the Most Sacred Heart as well as the fostering of a spirit of prayerf ulness and mortification, the League is an important element in the training of a priest. It is conducted by the students under the supervision of a Rever end Director. Regulations adapted to seminary routine and sup plementary to the official statutes of the League have been adopted. Each class is represented by two promoters duly elected. In addi tion four special offices have been estabUshed, viz., Senior Pro moter, Secretary and Supervisor of Music. On each First Friday the associates spend an appointed time in adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. In the evening the monthly meeting is held which consists of prayers, hymns, a brief explanation of the General Intention, and a sermon by one of the Promoters. This is followed by Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. The activities of the League, are however, not con fined to First Friday devotions. Every day an appointed group of seminarians offer Holy Communion together with every act of the day in reparation for offenses committed against the Sacred Heart. Moreover the associates perform numerous good works for the intentions of the League which are recorded in the monthly treasury of good works. The Propagation of the Faith. — From the very opening of Dunwoodie, a branch of the Society of the Propagation of the 202 DUNWOODIE'S RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS Faith has been in existence. Ever mindful of Our Lord's com mand "Go, teach ye all nations" and ever conscious of the fact that millions die yearly without the true Faith, the heart of the future priests has gone out in sympathy to those of the heathen nations who are still sitting in the shadow of death. The society has for its object the aiding of missionary work at home and in foreign lands. Each succeeding year it has grown with the result that today Dunwoodie stands out more prominently than ever before in the assistance rendered to this great cause. The end of the society is attained first by constant prayer for the conversion of heretics and infidels; secondly by contributing membership dues. Mass stipends and mite-box donations to support the missionaries ; thirdly by the founding of the Dunwoodie-Mary- knoU burse; fourthly by subscribing to mission literature espec ially the Field Afar, and finally this year the society has crowned its efforts by affiUating as a unit with the Catholic Students Mission Crusade, which has for its motto: "The Sacred Heart for the world ; the world for the Sacred Heart." The Third Order of St. Francis. — On February 17, 1918, tiie Third Order of St. Francis was established in the seminary. Nearly two hundred students became Tertiaries and were invested with the Scapular and the Cord. The ceremony was held in the seminary chapel with the Rev. Theodosius Foley, O.M. Cap. officiating. It is the object of the Third Order to so increase the knowledge and love of St. Francis of Assisi among the seminarians, that as future priests they may find in the life and work of St Francis a solution for much of the social unrest of today. The Third Order also endeavors to overcome in its members the want of a penitential spirit by the exercise of the opposing virtues. The meetings are held on the second Friday of each month, and consist of prayers, a hymn in honor of St. Francis, and a sermon by one of the officers, which is followed by Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. The reception of the new members, and the profession of novices takes place during the scholastic year. Since the institution of the Third Order in the Seminary it has spread rapidly, and though the membership is voluntary it includes today practically the entire student body. Apostolic Union. — ^The Dunwoodie branch of the Priest's Apos toHc Union is another organization existing in the seminary for the development of the spiritual life. On the reception of the Sub-Diaconate the students are enrolled as active members by the director. The Apostolic Union is an association of priests and seminarians in Major Orders who agree to live up to a simple rule DUNWOODIE'S RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS 203 which embodies the common duties of their state. The duties are all summed up in the keeping of the Bulletin : The Total Abstinence Union. — In 1903 the Total Abstinence Union was formed at the seminary. In 1905 at the request of his Eminence Cardinal Farley a director from the faculty was appoint ed and the organization strengthened. It was felt that a voluntary promise rather than an obligatory resolution would be more con ducive to the end desired. Practically all the seminarians join the society during their seminary days and at the conclusion of the Deacon Year renew the promises for periods extending from five years to life. It is a free offering to secure additional graces for the work in the priesthood and is of inestimable value in the early years of the monistary. Association of the Priests' Eucharistic League The Object of the Society : ( 1 ) To respond to the ardent desire of the Sacred Heart to be visited and adored by His Friends; (2) To engender a greater spirit and practice of prayer among the dergy; (3) To promote devotion to the Blessed Sacrament among priests and tiirough their ministry among the people ; (4) To repair the sacrileges committed against the Holy Eucharist.
