QT "N the following pages is a brief sketch of Villanova, h the second foundation of importance in the United States, belonging to the Augustinian Order. Towards the close of the last quarter of the eighteenth century two Fathers of the Irish Augustinian Province, Rev. Matthew Carr, D.D.and Rev. John Rosseter, made the first foundation of the Order at Philadelphia, Pa. Here in 1796 was begun on Fourth street the church of St. Augustine, the first in the newly united Colonies to be dedicated to this great Saint and chief of the Latin Doctors.

In 181 1 was opened St. Augustine's Academy, and some years later on a novice-house of the Order. In this sketch of the later foundation of the Order at

Villanova, will be told the story of its foundation in 1842, of the blessing given to it by Pope Gregory XVI, in 1843, and, in brief, of the various vicissitudes that have befallen the monastery, the college and the missions—in charge of the Fathers—during the first fifty years of their residence.

At the outset, it seems only proper for the compiler to declare that, unless otherwise noted, the various data that appear herein have been drawn from original sources of information. Should his labor prove as interesting and useful to the reader, as it has been pleasing to him, his 6 HISTORICAL SKETCH OF VILLANOVA. work in gathering and verifying the large mass of facts, names and dates contained herein, will not have been in vain. At the close of this volume will be found four appen- — events in dices containing : I. A summary of the chief Villanova's II. —A list of the Presidents of Villa- history ; nova III. —The number of students in each College ; year, and, IV. —A list of students from 1843 to February of their 1, 1S93, witn their residence, and the years entry and departure. ODE FOR THE GOLDEN JUBILEE OF VILLANOVA COLLEGE.

! blest be the day, when the sun's golden ray OH First shone on these shades, Villanova revealing ! Like the sunrise that shone on King Memnou's famed stone,

Awaking a strain full of fervor and feeling ! Grave doctor and sage In that long-vanished age, Their record inscribed on our history's page,

While the sons of St. Austin, with tears and with toil,

Their altars uprear'd on this prayer-hallow'd soil !

II.

Their altars, their school, where the Monk's kindly rule With Virtue and Wisdom form'd loyal alliance, — Guiding youths, (now grown gray, or at rest 'neath the clay,)

To the fountains of Faith, and the well-springs of Science !

Ah ! should we not claim

For its guardians, the fame, of 'round each name That linger'd, yore, love-lighted ; The perfume of sages and saints passed away,

Still hovers around Alma Mater to-day !

III.

With immortal renown, 'tis St. Thomas we crown, with Villanova's When we chant, delight, glad praises ; For Augustine's great son for his brethren hath won

A glory, that earth and its minions amazes ! Not the glory of Time,

(A mere vapor sublime !)

But the glory that lives when Time's death-knell shall chime ! The halo, all fadeless, that Faith loves to paint

'Round the altar that shrines Villanova's dear Saint !

Fifty years have gone by, since we throned him on high, of a As patron and guide past generation ; And the rapture, to-day, of our JUBILEE gay,

Proclaims him our patron and guide to salvation ! While his sons have increas'd,

And while prelate aud priest Assemble to honor and brighten our feast, —

Let us toast with a tear, the blest shades we revere,

Our FOUNDERS and friends—the departed and dear !

All homage be paid the illustrious Dead !

May their mantle descend on our guardians and masters ! And success to the Boys, full of knowledge and noise,

Who have pass'd from these halls to Life's dreams or disasters ! Time, trembling and old, Like a hermit hath told

On his five decades of — glittering chaplet,— gold, Villanova still lives ! Like the stars of the morn,

May she live, may she shine, thro' the ages unborn ! —Eleanor C. Donnelly.*

CHAPTER I.

BELLE-AIR FROM 1806 TO 1842.

|EELE-AIR, or Villanova, as it has now been known for the last fifty years and more, has been in Catholic hands from almost the beginning of the century. On October 13, 1806, John Rudolph, that old-time sturdy and well-known Catholic merchant and gentleman of Philadelphia, purchased one hundred acres of land in Radnor township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, belonging to Jonathan Miller, "innkeeper" in Haverford. Township, and Sarah, his wife, for $10,000, "in current: gold and silver money of the United States." The land,, as described in the title deed, begins "at a post, a corner of the widow land thence W. S. the Jerman's ; W. by same, to Evans' land thence the 134 perches John ; by same, S. S. 120 thence E. N. land of E., perches ; E., by Henry thence N. N. W. 120 to Reese, 134 perches ; perches place " of beginning. On this tract are located the monastery and college buildings of Villanova. By subsequent purchases Mr. Rudolph acquired four other of land and the Miller pieces nearby adjoining tract ; on April 16, 1812, from James Paul, administrator, two farms of 150 and 56 acres respectively, the estate of Thomas of Sussex New for Paul, county, Jersey, deceased, $11,000 ; on April n, 1818, from Peter Gaskill, "farmer," and his wife, Elizabeth, a farm of 35 acres and 26 perches, for $6,622, and on March 30, 1831, from Abraham Carear and the Guyger family, a fourth farm of 86 acres and 79 perches. In so far as concerns our story, it may be added that Mr. Rudolph parted with 229 acres of his land, the

John Rudolph, the former owner of what is now Villanova, was born in about served as lieuten- Philadelphia, 1760 ; ant in the War was in business Revolutionary ; many years at Burlington, N. J., and in Philadelphia, and married three times: (1) Anna Brand, by whom he had two daugh- ters, Catharine, born Oct. 22, 1762, and Mary, born Dec. 21, 1782; Catharine died at Burlington, N. J., in 1798, and Mary in 1872. (2) Elizabeth Courtney, or Cooper, ol Philadelphia, who, a year or so before her marriage, was

received into the Church, and, (3) on January 7, 1836, Miss Jane Abeel Lloyd. At the date of Mr. Rudolph's purchase of the Miller property, there were no improvements on it. Mr. Miller had started to build a residence, when by its sale, the unfinished building—with the land—passed into the hands of John Rudolph. He shortly after had the dwelling completed. A certain Jesse Horton, a carpenter of the neighborhood, was its builder. On the completion of his residence, Mr. Rudolph left his city for his country home, and after a " fashion of the day christened it Belle-Air," in remem- brance, it is said, of his father's native place in Mary- land. On an old chart of the Rudolph property the name *' Belle-Air," is spelled as given in the text, though by reference to geographical atlases, it appears that, now-a- days at least, the town in Maryland, in Harford county, is spelled diversely, namely, Belair. In the possession of the compiler of this sketch is a chart, entitled "A Plan of Belle-Air," made in Mr. Rudolph's day, representing his country seat at Radnor, the location of its various buildings, and the field lines •dividing the property. It is a neat piece of drafting in HISTORICAL SKETCH OF VILLANOVA. II

Until the late '20s, there was no Catholic church nearer than Philadelphia, whither Mr. Rudolph drove every Sunday. In 1828, on Thursday, May 15, St. Denis' Church at Cobb's Creek, about three miles away, was blessed by Rev. Dr. Hurley, O.S.A. of St. Augustine's. Mr. Rudolph had offered Bishop Con well, a site for a church, namely, that piece of land which lies just east of and adjoining the college woods on the Lancaster Road, but his offer was not accepted. For the accommodation of visiting clergymen, Mr. Rudolph had an altar fitted up at Belle-Air, in the parlor at the south- west 'corner of the mansion, between the two front windows, and many a time was Belle-Air blessed with the Holy Mass within its walls. Among the priests who are known to have said Mass at Belle-Air, in Mr. Rudolph's day, were Fathers William and Nicholas O'Donnell and Dr. Hurley, of St. Augustine's, Phila- delphia. These three were Father William priests Augustinians ; left the United States for Europe in 1831. It is also on record that some secular priests said Mass at Belle-Air,

namely : Rev. James A. Miller, Rev. William Loughran and Rev. Edward J. Sourin, who afterwards joined the Society of Jesus. Fr. Miller sang Mass at Belle-Air some time in 1838, and Mr. Rudolph played the organ. As Fr. Miller was ordained on March 11, 1838, and Mr. Rudolph died a few days after, viz., March 30, the time of Fr. Miller's celebration may be closely approximated. Fr. Eoughran said Mass at Belle-Air on July 30, 1839. At Bernard Flynn's house, near by, baptism was administered by Rev. Bernard Keenan, of St. Mary's Church, Lancaster, to a newly born child of the Flynns. This is the earliest baptism on record near Belle-Air. HISTORICAL SKETCH OF VILXANOVA. 1 3

On Friday, March 30, 1838, after a long life, replete with good deeds, John Rudolph was gathered to his fathers. His remains were interred at St. Mary's, Philadelphia. In 1841, Mr. John R. Vogdes, who had been appointed trustee by Mr. Rudolph two years before his death, offers Belle- Air for sale. Here is a copy of the trustee's procla- mation, to wit : " Positive Sale by Order of Trustee. —The very valuable Farm, well known as the Estate of the late John Rudolph, deceased, containing about 200 acres of first rate Land.

Auc- tion Store, No. 50 North 6th St." So excellent an opportunity for a charming country-seat could not well go long without a bidder. Its elevated site* and healthful location, its abundance of wood and water—there are four large springs on the property—the high state of tillage of the farm and orchards, and its rich meadow lands, not to speak of its comparative easi- ness of approach from all quarters, were advantages more than sufficient to recommend it either as a private residence or a public institution. Rev. Thomas Kyle, of St. Augustine's, and Dr. Moriarty, commissary of the province, recognized it as just the spot for an establishment of the Order, and, on Wednesday, October 13, 1841, the day before the one announced for the public sale, Belle-Air was purchased by them for $18,000. The deed of convey- ance describes the property as consisting of 197 acres, 2 roods and 31 perches, and says that it is composed of the whole of the Miller, part of the Paul, and the whole of the Gaskill estates. On January 5, 1842, title to Belle-Air " was granted to the Brothers of the Order of Hermits of St. Augustine." Shortly after the sale of the farm, Mrs. Rudolph sold the Fathers the house furniture and farming utensils, appraised by Messrs. Dennis Kelly and Firman at $3,400. In five years' time, the Fathers had paid off all this indebtedness, with the exception of $2,000.

VILLANOVA FROM 1 842 TO 1 846.

In 1842 there were but five priests of the Order in the country namely, Dr. Moriarty, commissary, and Fathers Kyle and O'Dwyer, in Philadelphia, and Fathers Nicholas and James O'Donnell, in Brooklyn. Some time late in the fall of '42, or during the early was sent winter of '43,* Fr. O'Dwyer, being in poor health, abroad to recruit. In the summer of '43, he returned with health much improved, with Rev. Francis Ashe, priest, and Rev. William Harnett, deacon, who had made their novitiate and studies in houses of the Order in Italy. Fr. Ashe a native of Cork, Ireland, and Brother— Harnett, of Philadelphia, were born in the same year 1820. In the meantime, in the early spring of '43, Brothers Dennis Gallagher and Jeremiah Ryan were sent from St. Brother Augustine's to Belle- Air to open the house. Ryan, a native of Tipperary, in Ireland, was a kinsman of the Fathers O'Donnell and of Rev. James Dolan, a secular priest of Baltimore. — Brother Gallagher, better known as Brother John his name in religion—was a native of county Donegal. These two Brothers were the first members of the Order to reside at Villanova. Mrs. O'Leary, housekeeper at St. with the Augustine's, was installed as matron, and Mouldens, who lived in a log farm-house on "Mount Misery," f helped in taking care of the farm and dairy.

Dr. Moriarty, being struck with the generally forlorn and comfortless look of things around the hilltop, christened the place (15) 1 6 HISTORICAL SKETCH OF VILLANOVA.

William and Julia Moulden are the first known colored Catholics in the neighborhood. William had lived at Belle-Air since about 1833, and Julia in the neighborhood from girlhood. In 1841, Feb. 21, they were married at St. Denis', by Rev. Michael O'Connor, afterwards bishop of Pittsburgh, and their wedding dinner was given to them by Mrs. Rudolph in what is now the pantry. As regards the first establishment of community life at Villanova, it is tradition* that Fr. O'Dwyer said Mass in the parlor oratory and blessed the new monastery on St. Augustine's Day, Monday, August 28, 1843, anc* placed it under the especial patronage of St. Thomas of Villanova. Besides the community present at this Mass were the housekeeper, the two Mouldens and a few Catholics of the neighborhood, viz., Thomas McNally and his wife Mary, their son and his wife, James McKeever and his wife, James Dougherty and a few others, whose names are for- gotten, numbering in all about a dozen souls. The selection of St. Thomas of Villanova as chief patron of the institution was a most appropriate and a singularly happy choice of the Fathers. For early in the sixteenth century the Augustinian province of Castille, in Spain, was ruled by Thomas of Villanueva, —in Latin — Villanova, a man of saintly character, distinguished even at that day, when Spain was so rich in great men, for his prudence and skill in managing affairs, and especially for his kindheartedness toward the poor. For these he established hospices, schools, and at Valencia a college, and it was to honor this predominant trait of the Saint that Spanish piety bestowed on him the title—Almsgiver, while the famous Murillo has immortalized it on canvas by his "Mount Misery," a name that since then it has always gone by among college folk. This is recorded that posterity may understand the now meaningless term given by their ancestors to the hill above the spring house. * During the riots of '44, in Philadelphia, along with the destruction of the church and convent of St. Augustine, perished nearly all the records belonging to the archives of the province.

— at picture—La Caridad dc San Tomds in the Cathedral Seville.* During St. Thomas' provincialship, the first— band of Augnstinian missionaries—seven in number under the leadership of Fr. Francis de la Cruz, came to Mexico in their 1533, and were followed by four other colonies of Order sent by the same holy provincial. With these children of St. Thomas the of the spiritual begins history— Aueustinian Order in the Americas. One of them Alonzo,— Gottieres, or Guttierez, or—as more commonly known of Vera Cruz, where he received the habit of the Order— the first of his brotherhood to be vested in the New World, was chiefly instrumental in establishing in the city of Mexico, a university—the first of its kind in North America. With the Mass and dedication ceremonies of the 28th of August, Villanova, no longer to be known as Belle-Air, was launched on its religious and educational career. In the following year, when Bishop Kenrick blessed the new chapel at Villanova, he dedicated it to the same holy Saint. The next formal and solemn act of religion was the vestition of the two Brothers Gallagher and McDonnell, who under the names of John and Thomas were received into the Order on All Saints' Day, 1843. Yet one thing chiefly was wanting to place the new monastery on firm and canonical basis namely, the sanction of the Holy See. Accordingly in this same year, Fr. Philip Angelucci, Vicar General of the Order, in a petition to the then reigning Sovereign Pontiff—Pope Gregory XVI, represents the desires and aspirations of his brethren of the American province, and says that they are unanimous in supplicating His Holiness for leave to establish a novice- their of St. Thomas of house of the Order at monastery — Villanova. In reply, His Holiness, by a brief issued on December 22, 1843, through the Congregation of Bishops * At Villanova are two copies of this picture, one in stained glass over the main door of the church, and the other in oil in the Dramatic Hall. 1 8 HISTORICAL SKETCH OF VILLANOVA. and Regulars—deigns benignantly to accede to the prayer of the Fathers.

O'Dwyer had folding doors put between the oratory and the room back of it, then the study hall, and now a in this back room the pantry ; congregation met to hear Mass. In the fall of 1843, another room on the east side of the house, now the Fathers' refectory, was fitted up as community oratory. Here the altar was set up against the wall the window here the opposite ; community assembled for religious exercises, as prayers, meditation, Mass and Divine Office, and here were vested the two Brothers and Gallagher McDonnell.

In an account of the commencement day exercises, in 1855, published in "The Catholic," of Pittsburgh, Pa., it is stated that "in 1843, the college began its career," and that "thirteen youths opened the establishment." Studies were opened in the room back of the oratory. Mr. William P. Dalton was study master. During the first two years the teachers associated with Fr. O'Dwyer were : Fr. Ashe Brother William Harnett a Rev. Father ; ; Bonduel, whose Christian name seems to have been Florimond Mr. Dalton Mr. E. A. or ; ; Ainsley, Ansiey ; Mr. Joseph O'Donnell and Mr. Rogan. Fr.

Subsequently he joined' the ranks of the secular clergy and died on the mission in at Villanova he Virginia ; taught English and mathematics. Mr. Rogan is remembered as a athletic Irishman only very young ; he, too, like Mr. Dalton, became a secular priest, and was drowned " out West," while crossing a river. Classes were taught partly in the study hall and partly in the parlors. Little is known about the course of studies.

Up lo the late fall of 1843, tne refectory was held in the room opposite the study hall, now the Fathers' refectory, and then in the basement of the monastery, where it continued until 1852. Back of the basement refectory was the kitchen, now a boiler-room, and the pantry. With the removal of the refectory downstairs, the study hall was opened in the former big kitchen—a nice, cheerful place, with plenty of light from three windows on the east and two on the west side. The Fathers and teachers lodged in the second story of the the in the attics and the monastery ; collegians Brothers over the kitchen. The President's room was at the south-east corner of the second floor. Until the erection of the chapel in 1844, the students' lavatory was in Rudolph's old wagon shed. Here a long wooden trough to hold the basins was set up along the far side of the shed it was in and water was ; open front, pro- from the some 100 feet over the cured pumps away ; trough and against the wall were hung towels, glasses, etc. So things ran on until the completion of the new college building in the late summer of 1844, when the students— with bag and baggage—were removed from the monastery, leaving it wholly to the community and teachers. During the first year the play-ground was the field on the Road, now the church lawn, and in the following year the large field, then known as "the meadow," the present base-ball grounds.

In accordance with wishes ot parents or guardians a classical and scientific, or purely mercantile education will be given to their children, or the one will be so blended with the other, as to qualify the pupil to embrace any of the learned professions, or to apply him- self to business. It is hoped that experience will show that proper attention is paid to the young gentlemen who may be sent to this institution. The College is situated in the midst of a highly culti- vated and salubrious country, close by the Columbia Rail Road, and about eleven miles from Philadelphia. The scholastic year begins in September and terminates in July. No leave of absence is given to any pupil during that time, except at the express request of parents or guardians. Terms.

For pupils over twelve years $125. per annum, payable half yearly in advance. Under that age $100. Further particulars may be learned on application at St. August- ine's church, Philadelphia, or to the Rev. Mr. O'Dwyer, president of the College." During the troubled times of 1844, Fr. O'Dwyer was at college, Fr. Nicholas O'Donnell at St. Paul's church, Brooklyn, Fathers Kyle, James O'Donnell and Ashe at St. Augustine's, Philadelphia, and Dr. Moriarty, superior in chief, down South, engaged in lecturing and for his church at the time of the collecting ; riots, he was at Charleston, South Carolina, and Fr. Kyle was in charge of St. Augustine's, in Philadelphia. Naturally at Villanova deep anxiety reigned all along. For weeks, after the burning of St. Augustine's, the community and students were kept in almost continual alarm and panic. On three separate occasions were the college authorities warned by friends in town that they were to be HISTORICAL SKETCH OF VILLA NOVA. 23 burned out. But ample precautions were taken for the defence of the the doors and windows property ; of the lower stories of the monastery were kept heavily barricaded at night, and the Brothers did sentry duty on the grounds. During this troubled period, the younger lads were not allowed to on the at — stay premises night ; every evening after supper— they were sent in charge of Mr. Dalton to stay for the night at Mrs. Rudolph's, about a mile away from the college, precisely the old stone mansion on the Lancaster Road, the first to the right on passing the toll- gate at Rosemont. Here the youngsters were somehow or other housed till morning, when they were marched back to college for breakfast and class. So amid frequent alarms passed the long weeks from the 8th of May, until the commencement season in July. But prudent counsels there was no the prevailed ; public display ; students made their examinations, were awarded their prizes and sent home until the re-opening of classes in September. Thus passed year one of college life. These had been stirring times. In the interim—during the summer vacation, Fr. O'Dwyer was employed in caring for the churchless congregation of St. Augustine's. With the departure— shortly after the fire—of Dr. Moriarty and Father Kyle for Europe, he was left superior in chief of the missions, an office he held continuously up to his death in 1850. All responsibility now was resting on him. Alongside the ruined church Fr. O'Dwyer began, early in June, to build a chapel, known for many a year after as the of Our Mother of Consolation it was Chapel ; opened on Sunday, October the 27th, 1844. At the same time he began the erection of a chapel at Villanova, precisely on the site of Rudolph's carriage house. But in order to provide first for farm needs he had two wings added to the barn, one on the east for corn, etc., and the other, on the west side, for wagons, carts, etc., and partly for a gymnasium for the students in bad weather. The carriage house 24 HISTORICAL SKETCH OF VILLANOVA. was then torn down, its east line extended, and on some day in May, (the precise date is not remembered,) at about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Fr. O'Dwyer laid the corner stone (of the future church) at the southeast angle of the new in it he some documents. building ; deposited Work was forward stone was taken from the old pushed rapidly ; " barn on Mount Misery," dismantled for the purpose, and sand gathered from the highways. The builder at first in charge was Thomas O'Rourke, then, on his departure, Brother Thomas McDonnell, who completed the chapel. The building is 68 by 30 feet in size. The larger part of the ground floor formed one large hall, having at its rear two small rooms, one in each corner, the south room for class and the north for a between purposes, sacristy ; these two—in the recess—an altar was built and back of it was placed the organ. Sliding doors cut off the sanctuary.

On Sunday, September 1, 1844, feast of Our Lady of Consolation, the large hall was blessed and opened to the uses of religion by the Right Rev. Francis Patrick Ken- rick, Ordinary of the diocese. Notice of this solemnity appeared in "The Catholic Herald", of Philadelphia, as follows:— "The annual celebration of St. Augustine's Feast next Sunday, the 1st of September, in the new Chapel at Villanova. The panegyric by Bishop Kenrick, a solemn Te Deum before Mass, which will begin at \oy2 o'clock. The College is within a few paces of the Columbian Rail Road. The Harrisburgh cars run from Eighth and Market at 7 A. M. on that morning: and will let off visitors at the College gate and take them up on their return about 6 P. M. A collection will be taken up towards defraying the expenses in finishing the chapel." During the dedication services, Miss Cassandra Holmes, now Mrs. M. F. Aledo, who was organist at St. Augus- tine's, played the organ, which was placed back of the altar. HISTORICAL SKETCH OF VILLANOVA. 25

The collection taken up during the services amounted to $131. On the completion of the chapel, the collegians were transferred thither. On week-days the main hall served them for room the desks were the study ; ranged along south side, while benches nsed at class hours, and, on Sun- days, by the people at Mass, took up the rest of the floor.

On Saturday nights the desks were ranged against the wall, and the place put in order for the morrow's services.

Until about New Year's Day of 1845, the students' dormitory was in the attic, it was then removed down-stairs, and the Brothers sent thither from the house. The south- west room on the second floor was Mr. Ainsley's, and later 26 HISTORICAL SKETCH OF VILLANOVA.

on Fr. Meagher's. In 1849, on the completion of the college wing, the boys were transferred thither, and their old study hall devoted thenceforth wholly to the uses of religion, and the house oratory removed from the east side of the monastery building. Thus did Fr. O'Dwyer pass his summer vacation in '44. In September classes opened as usual, and the school-year of 1844-45 began not inauspiciously. Brother Harnett was ordained priest by Bishop Kenrick on Ember Saturday, September 21, in St. John's church, Philadelphia, and with Mr. Ainsleyand the others continued on the teaching staff. Nothing relating to the course of studies, during this time, has come down to our day. With the opening of the second term" in February, 1845, Fr. O'Dwyer began apparently to feel the reaction conse- quent on the ordeal of the past year. Moreover, he had to erect a new church building at St. Augustine's, and conduct suits at law for damages against the city of Phila- delphia. Fr. James O'Donnell now surrendered his missions on Island to Dubois Fr. Ashe was in Long Bishop ; delicate health he died March and Fr. ; 13, 1848, Harnett, just ordained, was convalescent from an affliction —a scro- fulous eruption, that had troubled him many years. These four Fathers with Fr. Nicholas were the only priests of the Order in the country. So some time in February 1845, Father O'Dwyer determined to close the college tempor- arily, and, on February 20, published the following announcement in "The Catholic Herald", of Philadelphia, namely : "In consequence of the losses sustained during the May riots in the destruction of their church and property, the members of the Order of St. Augustine are compelled to close the college lately opened at St. Thomas of Villanova near Philadelphia. It is hoped that the justice of their fellow-citizens by awarding a fair compensa- tion for the losses sustained will soon enable the Augaistin- ians to re-open the college." On the same day, it is said, after supper, Fr. O'Dwyer HISTORICAL SKETCH OF VILLANOVA. 27 called the collegians together, and, to their astonishment and regret, told them that the college was closed. The the lads went home had been a con- following day ; they tented and happy set. Thus, after less than two years of a rather chequered existence, during which time it had harbored some 45 aspirants after Christian instruction, did the infant institution close its portals, not to be re-opened until the fall of 1846. CHAPTER III.

VILLANOVA FROM 1 846 TO 1 865.

In the interval the monastic and missionary labors of the community gave them ample scope for their zeal and industry. During the summer of '46, the Fathers determined to re-open the college, and published the following announcement—here somewhat condensed namely : St.

Thomas of Villanova's College . . . is now re-opened

. . Bach pupil should be provided with three suits for and three for summer three of shoes and winter ; pairs one of boots a cloak or overcoat six towels pair strong ; ; ; the same number of napkins and handkerchiefs, and at least a half dozen of the different articles of under dress which require a frequent washing, and a large silver spoon duly marked The terms are $150 a year, with a discount of 10 per cent, for prepayment. Sunday, September the 6th, was set as the opening day. With Fr. O'Dwyer, president, were associated Fathers Ashe and Harnett, and, about a mouth later, Fr. Kyle just returned from Ireland. Mr. Ainsley was re-engaged at a salary on a graduated scale namely, $150 a year, if the students did not number 40, and $200 if they exceeded it. Mr. John Gibney comes as teacher at $150 per annum. On Wednesday, July 21, 1847, were held the closing exercises of the year, on the green—just north of the college building, a charming spot for a mid-summer's festival. Here for the convenience and comfort of the guests, a large canvas canopy had been stretched from hooks in the second story window frames to the apple trees on the campus, and underneath this grateful shelter were seats for all. In its account of the day's festival "The Catholic Herald ", says that the cars arrived at the college about 10 o'clock; Mr. J. D. Bryant read an essay on "Education,"

(28) HISTORICAL SKETCH OF VILLANOVA. 29 and Rev. James O'Donnell presided. This was Villano- va's first public commencement. The tide of hope for the young college now began to fill. Fresh blood was infused into its teaching corps. Early in the September, 1847, arrived from Europe, three clerics of Order, namely, the two brothers Edward M. and Ambrose A. Mullen, the first a deacon and the latter an acolyte, and Patrick A. Stanton, sub-deacon, who in the early fall of 1842 had been sent to Italy to study. On Ember Saturday, December the 18th, 1847, Brother Edward Mullen was ordained by Bishop Kenrick to the priesthood, and Brother Stanton, on July the 30th, of the following year. On November 18, 1847, Mr. George J. Corrie, who had been the organist at the Lady Chapel at St. Augustine's, in Philadelphia, since September the 1st, 1846, entered charge of the music classes at Villanova. He is the first lay teacher of music at the college. The pipe organ, that by its dulcet tones has added to the solemnity of church services for so many years, was built by Henry Corrie, Professor Corrie's father, about 1837, for St. Mary's Episcopal Seminary for Young Ladies, at Bur- after it for a returned it to lington, N.J. ; using while, they the builder for a large organ, and it was sold to the Augustinian Fathers for their Lady Chapel on Crown Street, where it served until their new church was built, when it was sent out to Villanova. This was about 1847. The present college bell, cast by J. Bernhard, of Phila- delphia, was purchased by Fr. James O'Donnell, in 1847, to replace the old black metal bell that was cracked. It is made partly from the metal of St. Augustine's church bell that was destroyed during the riots of 1844. — In 1847 a lavatory —a one-story frame structure was erected at the north-west corner of the chapel, and a stove put in on December 15th. It served until the erection of the wing in 1849.* In the early spring of 1848, the Fathers petitioned the

Legislate e for a charter, and on Friday, March 10, of that year, Francis R. Shrink, Governor of the State, signs "An Act to incorporate the Augnstinian College of Villanova, in the County of Delaware and State of Pennsylvania." The extracts from the college charter, that serve the purpose of this sketch, are as follows : " Section I. — Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in General Assembly met and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same That there be and hereby is erected and established at Villanova in the County of Delaware in this Commonwealth a college for the education of persons in the various branches of science literature and ancient and modern languages by the name style and title of The Augustinian College of Villanova in the State of Pennsylvania," — " Section II. . . . that the trustees shall be seven in number, members of the Roman Catholic Church, citizens of the United States and conforming to the rules and disci- pline of the said Church," and Section VI. — "That the President and professors for the time being shall have power to grant and confirm such degrees in the arts and sciences to such students of the college and others when by their proficiency in learn- ing professional eminence or other meritorious distinc- tion they shall be entitled thereto as they may see fit or as are granted in other colleges or universities in the United States and to grant to graduates or persons on whom such degrees may be conferred diplomas or cer- tificates as is usual in colleges and universities." The seven gentlemen designated as incorporators were Rev. Francis P. of the diocese Right Kenrick, ordinary ; Rev. John P. O'Dwyer, Rev. William Harnett, Rev. James O'Donnell and Rev. Edward M. Mullen, members of the Order, and Messrs. Daniel Barr, merchant, and William Axon Stokes, member of the Philadelphia Bar. On Monday, May the ist, 1848, at St. Augustine's, the HISTORICAL SKETCH OF VILLANOVA. 3 1 trustees hold their first formal meeting and elect Fr. Mr. and Fr. Har- O'Dwyer, president ; Stokes, secretary, nett, treasurer of the Board. At the same meeting are chosen the officers and instructors for the ensuing year, namely, Fr. O'Dwyer, president; Fr.

Some months later, viz., on December 30, of the same year, the trustees adopted a seal for the corporation, consisting of this device, namely : a Bible, cross, crozier, cincture and a heart with an arrow this flaming pierced ; seal was without any inscription. During the Centennial Year, the form of seal now used by the college, of which a fac-simile is given in this sketch, was adopted on Decem- ber 15, 1876. A word or so relating to the ecclesiastical department may here be in order. Villanova was established for the dual purpose of educating candidates for the church and for the world. Up to this year all cleric members of the province, with only one exception, had been sent to Europe to make their studies. Now they were to be kept at home to pursue their ecclesiastical course at Villanova. Rev. James O'Donnell, who entered the Order in 1832, made his studies at Mt. St. Mary's and at St. Augustine's. In 1848, Mr. Charles Egan, a native of Cork, Ireland, about 27 years of age, was received into the novitiate on May the 18th. He is the first cleric novice at Villanova. A few months later, on August the 15th, Rev. Michael F. Galla- gher is vested with the same holy habit of religion. Fr. Harnett, prior, was also novice-master. The ecclesiastical, or scholastic department, has always been distinct and separate from the collegiate, with different text books, classes and teachers. According to the description of the commencement fes- " tivities of Wednesday, July 19, 1848, given in The Catholic Herald ", the exercises, as in the preceding year, were held on the At least were Masters green. 1,000 persons present ; Michael Rooney, Eagle, John Knight and Thomas McGeoy were the speakers of the day.

Rev. George A. Meagher, who had just arrived from Europe, where he had studied in houses of the Order at Lucca, Perugia and Rome, was added to the faculty.

With the completion of the wing, the students were from the their former to removed chapel ; dormitory given the Brothers, and the attic turned into a clothes room. The chapel—on the ground floor—was now devoted wholly to church purposes and the house oratory dismantled. In 1848, the parish registers open with a baptism, the earliest of record at Villauova. On August 15, of that year, the day he entered the novitiate, Fr. Gallagher bap- tized Michael Horten, born a few days before. The earliest marriage recorded is dated April 17, 1854. Up to 1848, Villanova mission was attached to St. Augustine's, in Philadelphia, where all earlier registrations must be sought. The closing exercises of '49, held on Wednesday, July 18, " : — are thus referred to by The Catholic Herald ", namely " The Exhibition," —such was the name not unfrequently " to school commencements at that time— at given , opened 10 o'clock in the morning; the speakers were Vincent

According to the prospectus, issued by Fr. Harnett, ''the regular course of studies, requisite for graduation, com- prises the Greek, Latin and English languages, History, Geography, the Mathematics, Logic, Rhetoric, Poetry, Natural and Moral Philosophy and Chemistry"; "the modern languages—French, Spanish, German and Italian", were at each annum each student taught $15.00 per ; was

A Mr. Bouguereau was engaged as teacher of French and drawing. A large and beautiful hall was opened in the second story of the wing for library and reading room. Most of the treasures rescued from St. Augustine's library, during the riots of '44, found their way here. The hall was open to students during free hours and all day on Sundays and holidays. Each member of the reading room paid $1.00 a year. In 1850 the Fathers—with the approval of Bishop Ken- rick—open a Manual Labor School at Villanova for orphans, over 16 years of age, from St. John's Orphan Asylum. The Asylum paid $25.00 a year for each one besides supplying bed and bedding. A year or so after— in 1 85 1 —Dr. Moriarty, with Mr. Henry A. Fleming, takes charge of a similar institution at Govanstown, in Maryland. But Fr.

VILLANOVA FROM 1865 TO- 1 883.

In 1865, the Fathers determined on re-opening the college. In September of that year, with Fr. Ambrose A. Mullen as president, classes, were again formed. With him were associated Fathers Pacificus A. Neno, Philip Izzo, Francis M. Sheeran, the new vice-president, and Thomas C. Middleton, members of the Order, who had just arrived Rev. Dr. P. a secular and from Italy ; J. Madden, priest, Messrs. Michael O'Farrell, Timothy Donovan, Charles Marsden, John Devir and Thomas Cullen—candidates for the Order, and Mr. John K. McGuire, an alumnus of '57. The next year, Mr. Angelo F. dos Santos was instructor in music, and after a year or two was succeeded by Mr. George J. Corrie. The course of college studies was, with little change, the same as of old namely, Greek, Latin, English, mathematics, natural philosophy, book-keeping, history, poetry, French, German and music. The next year drawing was added to the under direction of Mr. Reed from course, ; 1867-69, Mr. Robert Brooks was drawing master. The ecclesiastical department was in charge of Fr. Neno, and Fr. Izzo was novice-master. With Fr. Neno, who in 1869, received the doctorship, were allied during his 16 years of regency in the studies, Fathers Augustine Iy'Anaro, Middleton, O'Farrell, Fleming, Nazzareno Pro- posta, Joseph A. Locke and Maurice M. Ryan. Under him the church course embraced logic, metaphysics, ethics, natural religion, moral and dogmatic theology, canon law, church history ,*Sacred Scriptures, and liturgy. On Palm Sunday of 1866, the Passion was sung for the first time at Villanova Fathers ; Izzo, Neno and Middleton being the chanters.

The play ground was, for a couple of years or so, what is the church lawn for one the field now ; then, year, beyond the Spring Mill Road, and, since about 1869, the present campus. In 1866, Mons. Pierre M. Arnii—a Heidelberg and Ge- neva graduate—was added to the teaching corps, as instructor in French and German. In this same year, a course of military drill —broad sword exercise, under direction of Major Beatty, an ex-U. S. army officer, was introduced, but the year after, it was dropped from the course. In 1867, Mr. Thomas O'Reilly was engaged as instructor of he remained two German ; years. During the summer vacation of 1869, on Thursday, July 29, Fr. Neno was invested with the master's cap and ring, by Dr. Moriarty acting as delegate of the Father General. This was the first ceremony of its kind in the province. On only four occasions since then, has a similar honor been granted to members of the province namely, on November to Fr. Thomas C. Middleton on 25th, 1874, ; to Fr. Patrick A. Stanton on October 29th, 1877, ; January 26, 1881, to Fr. Nazzareno Proposta, and on May 30th. 1889, to Fr. Joseph A. Locke. The degree of lectorship of sacred theology was conferred on the— following professors in the ecclesiastical department : in 1867, on Fathers Francis M. Sheeran and Thomas C. Middleton in on Fathers Michael ; 1874, M. O'Farrell and Henry A. Fleming, and in 1888, on Fr. Charles M. Driscoll. In 1885, Fr. Michael J. Locke received the same degree at Rome, Italy. In 1869, Fr. Stanton was installed as president in succes- sion to Fr. Ambrose, transferred to Andover, a mission of the Order in Massachusetts. Under Fr. Stanton things pros- pered greatly. In 1869, a gymnasium was erected, a frame building 81 by 40 in size, with all the needed equipments as : ten-pin alleys, horizontal and inclined ladders, trapezes, a vaulting horse, swinging and parallel bars, climbing pole, bouncing board, breast bars, striking bag, etc. 44 HISTORICAL SKETCH OF VILLANOVA.

In 1869, Mr. Miles Tempany was engaged as teacher of classics and English, and Mr. Maximilien Clave, as German teacher. In 1870, debating and dramatic societies, and the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin, were reorganized; and in of the a cornet band with December, same year, s formed, members Mr. Corrie its director. Since eight ; being 1876, the college catalogue has published the animal commencement exercises of the Sodality, in that year designated as the "Ninth Annual Commencement." The Sodality was originally started in 1867 by Mr. McGuire, of the teaching staff. Under President Stanton catalogues of the college were issued for the first time,—the first appearing in 1871. In 1871 Charles S. Gauntt, M.D., comes as professor of chemistry and physics. In the same year water works to supply to the various departments, college, monastery, and stables, were erected at the foot of "Mount Misery." The first jet of water reached the college reservoir on Wednesday, December 6th, of that year. A couple of months before, on Saturday night, October the 7th, Villanova, aided by its great patron, succeeded, after more than four hours' battling with the flames, that "had been started by the ignition of coal oil in the monastery cellar, in saving the buildings from dreaded destruction.

After being three years in office, Fr. Stanton is succeeded hy Very Rev. Thomas Galberry, as president. The new president begins the erection of the main college building, that had been the dream of his predecessors for twenty years and more. As a preliminary work the college bell is dislodged from its old home in the locust tree, and raised to its present position. Work on the new college was begun in 1873. On Tues- day, April 1st, of that year, the first stone was laid in the HISTORICAL SKETCH OF VIIXANOVA. 45 trenches on the cross— 100 ; Thursday, September 4th, feet from the ground—was raised over the college, and on

Tuesday, February 3, 1874, the building was occupied by teachers and students. It has a frontage of 174 feet. The former study hall was fitted up for public assem- blies. In 1,879, President Fedigan had it neatly decorated " with paintings of Saints Augustine and Monica and The of St. of Villanova" the Charity Thomas, ; during closing months of 1892, President McEvoy had it adorned with

In order to meet the requirements of the Faithful, the gymnasium was dismantled and the hall fitted up for church three altars were erected at its north end purposes ; and a choir gallery built at the south. Mass was said, for the first in the new on time, church, Sunday, July 14, 1872 ; and on Sunday, the 15th of the following September, 46 HISTORICAL SKETCH OF VILLANOVA.

Bishop Wood blessed the edifice. The old chapel of '44 was reserved as a community oratory, and served too during Holy Week for the Repository. In 1872, a post office was opened in the new station at the foot of the college hill, and mail delivered for the first time on Wednesday, the 6th of November. Up to the late '40s, the nearest mailing place was an old country store— a frame building some two miles away, between the VIII and IX milestones on the Lancaster Road, and then, for a generation or so, at Henderson's, a country store at West Haverford. In 1873-74, Mr. Charles Oscar de Juville is engaged as instructor in French, and Mr. Joseph A. Kene, in German. Mr. Juville painted for one of the Fathers the exquisite "Mother of Good Counsel", that for many years was the altar piece in the old chapel, and now hangs in the monastery parlor. Mr. x\lfred C. Wernicke taught drawing and German from 1874 to 1878. During this year, on Sunday, October 19th, 1874, the college and parish of Villanova was solemnly dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Under Fr. Galberry was introduced at Villanova the de- votion of the Forty Hours. On the eve of commencement day in 1875, Tuesday, June 29, the college alumni met in the house parlor and, with Very Rev. President Galberry—bishop-elect of Hart- ford—in the chair, formed an Alumni Association. During the school year of 1876, the college lost the official services of one to whose industry and though tfulness it owed many improvements. Very Rev. Father Galberry, president since 1872, having received from the Sovereign Pontiff his appointment to the vacant see of Hartford, leaves on Conn., Villanova, Tuesday, March 7, 1876, and Fr. Thomas C. Middleton is chosen president for the re- mainder of his term. On commencement day in 1876, the degree of master of Plate XI.—rt. REV. thomas galbkrry. d.d., O.S.A., PRESIDENT OF VILXANOVA COLLEGE.

arts was awarded to Thomas F. Milby, of Philadelphia, and to Lucien F. Prud'homme, teacher of drawing and French at Villanova in the early '50s, and some years afterwards professor at the Naval Academy at Annapolis. Gold medals, the first to be distributed by Villanova, were " awarded to John E. Cronley and John J. Ryan, for General " " " Excellence and for Mathematics respectively. During the following year nothing of especial note took place. The straight avenue leading from the campus to the railroad was laid out, and trees planted. On Sunday, January 14th, 1877, was established at Vil- lanova for the parishioners a Total Abstinence Society, under the special protection of the holy patron of the church. At their first meeting, sixty-three members gave in their names to Rev. Fr. Fleming—rector in charge, through whose efforts chiefly the Society was founded. Fr. Fleming, who was ever active in good works, established also a society to look after the adornment of the church altars. This was entitled St. Monica's Altar Society. During the long vacation of '78, Rev. John J. Fedigan was elected college president. During his two years of office many improvements were made. In 1879, a fourth story was added to the monastery, and steam introduced throughout the building. On November 25th, St. Catharine's Day, the new quarters, having been blessed by Very Rev. Father Provincial Neno, were occupied by the cleric members of the community. On the preceding Wednesday, November 20th, the monastery graveyard just north of the church was blessed by the same Father, and on the same day interment made of the remains of Brother Thomas M. Darragh, deceased on the preceding Saturday. In the early part of 1879, namely, Tuesday, January 7th, the Most Rev. Archbishop of the diocese gave the Fathers leave to say Mass on alternate Sundays at Reeseville, now Berwyn, a station about 6 miles west of the college. For many years, in fact ever since their residence at Villanova 48 HISTORICAL SKETCH OF VILLANOVA. the Fathers had ministered to the spiritual needs of the Faithful in this region. Now the Divine Mysteries are offered for the first time in their midst. Prior Fedigan celebrated this Mass in the public hall at Reeseville. In 1887, the present Most Reverend Ordinary of the diocese gave the Fathers permission to celebrate two Masses there every Sunday. Sunday, August 14th, witnessed for the first time this double celebration, Fr. Blake, rector of Villanova parish, saying the early Mass at 6.30, and Fr. Sheeran, president of the College, the late Mass at 10 o'clock. Two years after— in 1889, on Sunday afternoon, June 30th, Feast of the Most Pure Heart of Mary, with sanction of the same venerable prelate, the corner stone of Berwyn's first Catholic Church, to be dedicated to holy St. Monica, is laid—with all the ceremonies prescribed by rit- ual—in the of a and audience presence large respectful ; Prior McEvoy, of Villanova, officiating, and Fr. Fedigan, of Atlantic City, delivering the dedicatory address. The foundations of the building had been laid on Wednesday, the 1 6th of the preceding January, and on Christmas Day, 1889, Mass was sung in the church basement by Rev. Ed- ward A. Dailey, of Villanova, rector in charge of Berwyn. The church—Gothic in style— is 106 by 40 feet in size with a transept 58 feet broad. The two main windows, in the transept, by Morgan, of New York, are gems of art. At the opening of the first school term in 1879, Fr. Maurice M. Ryan, Lector in Theology, and lately a member of the Irish Province, is added to the ecclesiastical staff of teachers. The next school year opened in September with Fr. Joseph A. Coleman, president in place of Father Fedigan, transferred to Atlantic City, N. J. During Fr. Coleman's six years in the presidency, many improvements were made at Villanova. On Friday, December the 1st, 1882, he established in the parish a confraternity of the. Sacred Heart of Jesus, in which by the 7th of the January following, 103 members were enrolled.

At the commencement exercises of i88r, which opened at 10 o'clock in the morning, Very Rev. James A. Corco- ran, D.D., of Overbrook Seminary, presided, and Rev. Charles F. D.D. of addressed the Kelly, , Towanda, Pa., graduates. The college Glee Club re-organized after two years' suspension, added to the harmony of the proceedings. Dinner was served to all. During the summer holidays of '81, the custom was introduced of chanting the Psalms at Vespers on Sundays by a double choir of clerics, one in the organ gallery and the other with the rest of the religious inside the chancel. It was a pleasing innovation but did not continue long. CHAPTER V.

VILLANOVA FROM 1883 TO 1892.

In 1883, the Fathers began the erection of a church worthy of St. Thomas of Villanova, patron of their monastery, college and mission. In the earlier pages of this sketch the reader has seen the little oratory in the monastery parlor—the church of 1843, then the chapel of 1844 and the gymnasium church of 1872. On Easter Thursday, March 29, 1883, ground for the new building was broken by Prior Coleman and the Breth- each a on St. Mark's ren, digging spadeful ; Day, April the first stone was laid in the trenches on after- 25, ; Sunday noon, June 3rd, Feast of the Most Pure Heart of Man-, the corner stone of the new church was solemnly blessed and laid in place by Rt. Rev. Jeremiah F. Shanahan, Bishop of Dr. Stanton the Harrisburg ; delivering dedicatory oration. In a cavity of the stone, inside a glass jar, are enclosed a memoir of the and a collection proceedings, — of relics, of Agnus Deis and of coins of the United States pre- sented by Mr. Charles McKeone, a member of the parish. On Sunday, November 23, 1884, the cross on the front gable was blessed by Very Rev. Maurice A. Walsh, vicar of the diocese, and the sermon delivered by Rev. John P. Gilmore, O.S.A. In 1887, Fr. Coleman having been transferred the year before to the Australian missions of the the church was Order,— completed by Rev. James J. Blake his successor in the parish, and, on Sunday, July the 3rd, blessed by Most Rev. Patrick J. Ryan, of Philadel- the Rev. Michael of phia ; Right J. O'Farrell, Trenton, delivering the benediction sermon. The church is Gothic in style, and, exclusive of the sacristy, measures 143^ feet in length, and 60 in breadth; the facade of the building is flanked by two towers, each 18

feet square and 63 feet high, surmounted by eight-sided spires that make their total height, 126 feet. Over the cen- tral gable of the church is a corbelled niche with a pedestal for a statue of St. Thomas of Villanova. Three front door-

ways,reached by 8 granite steps, give entrance to the church from the south the of the church embraces in ; ground plan its inner arrangement a singular feature, common enough in Europe, but rarely seen in this country, a prolongation of the sanctuary, terminating in a large and deep apsidal choir for the use of the religious. There are seven altars in the church, four of them for the congregation, one being in the beautiful side chapel of Our Lady of Good Counsel, and the other two in the retro choir. The mural decoration of the church—in distemper, the altar-pieces— " " "The Assumption of St. Joseph and Our Mother of Consolation", in the choir, and the seven figures—the four Evangelists in medallions, and Saints Augustine, Pat- rick and Thomas of Villanova, in panels—on the choir vault, are by the Venitian artists Achille Gobbato and Ferdinando Baraldi. In the Lady Chapel, decorated at the expense of the Total Abstinence. Society, in memory of Rev. Father Fleming, their founder, is a beautiful altar-piece—a "Mother of Good Counsel" — in oil, that was touched to the at Genazzano and in the rose over original ; window the altar a charming little copy—in glass—of Raphael's

Sunday, July 26th, of that year, Feast of the blessed St. Anne, mother of the Holy Virgin, Prior Coleman said Mass in the school building, back of the Presbyterian Church. This was the first Mass said within the limits of that settle- ment. In the following year, on May the 15th, ground for a church was broken by Prior Coleman, and on the Fourth of July following, the church building— in honor of Our Lady of Good Counsel—was blessed by Right Rev. Edward of Little Rock Rev. Francis X. of Fitzgerald, ; McGowan, the college faculty, delivering the dedicatory sermon on " The Triumphs of the Church." The dimensions of the building were 67 by 35 feet. Three years after—in 1889, the building was moved over the bridge across the railroad to its present site on Penn Street, and enlarged, and Mass said in it on Easter Sunday, April 21st, by Rector Blake, who had succeeded Fr. Cole- man in the charge of the mission. In the fall of the same year, Monday, October 14th, a school for the parish children at Bryn Mawr, under charge of the Sisters of Mercy,—was opened in the church basement, with 119 pupils namely, 69 boys and 50 girls. This was the second parish school established in Villa- nova's mission, the first having been founded sometime in the early '60s at St. Denis', through the generosity of Mr. Dennis Kelly, on a lot not far from his residence. A Catholic lay teacher was employed, but after some years the school was discontinued. In 1885, Fr. Sheeran, for many years professor and vice- president of the college, receives the degree of Bachelor- ship of Sacred Theology, and, in 1886, on the transfer of Fr. Coleman to Australia, is elected President of Villanova. In this same year, Fr. Joseph A. Locke, professor in the ecclesiastical department since 1875, is honored with the Bachelorship of Theology, and Fr. Dominic Filacciani, D.D., who had been on the South American missions of the Order for 17 years, is added to the teaching corps of the same department. Plate XIV.—VERY REV. JAMES D.

In 1888, a St. Vincent de Paul's Conference is established in the parish on Sunday, April the 22nd. During 1889, the chief material improvement, due mainly to the efforts of Fr. Blake, monastery procurator, was the rebuilding of the old Rudolph barn, that had been erected sometime in the early part of the century. Mr. Duraug drew up the plans of the new structure. During the long vacation in 1890, Very Rev. Christo- pher A. McKvoy was elected president of the college, with Rev. Richard A. Gleeson vice-president, who, in the year after, was succeeded by Rev. Laurence A. Delurey. During 1891, on December 15, the college lost by death the services of its amiable and very efficient instructor of elocution and oratory, Samuel K. Murdoch, of Philadel- phia, who had been on the staff since 1881. Since, with the year 1892, closed the fiftieth anniversary of Villanova's foundation, here, as a memorial of the event, are recorded the names of the Fathers in residence and of the officers and teachers, who, during that year, were connected with the monastery, the college and the

With these statistics of 1891-92, closes the main purpose for which this historical skeleton of Villanova has been jointed together. In the preceding pages have been related with more or less detail, according to their promi- nence, the chief events in its story. Yet, as will be apparent, all that has been told of the Fathers, Brothers, professors, students, and the Faithful associated with Villanova, during these 50 years, has related merely to their outer or social being. Nothing 56 HISTORICAL SKETCH OF VILLANOVA. has, or properly could be said, of the inner or spiritual life of these faithful servants of the Most of their High ; deeds of their exercises in virtue of their many good ; ; trials, sufferings, hardships and sacrifices—quickened by the of or of the innumerable Masses spirit religion ; said, and graces received at this shrine of St. Thomas of Villanova. Let their good works speak for them.

Since September of 1892, preparations are in hand for the celebration of Villanova's Golden Jubilee during the commencement season of the present year. A large and powerful organ h lilt by Roosevelt, of New York, with 1,530 pipes, 38 stops and three manuals, has been placed in the church the Dramatic Hall decorated ; freshly and Villanova's first periodical— "The Villanova Monthly" — published. The lay students received from September, 1892, to the opening of the present school term, February 1st, 1893, number 94; the sum of their ages is 1,472 years and the average age of each student is 15 years, 7 months and 27 days.
