ALUMNI HALL MONDAY EVENING MAY 14, 1911 PORTLAND, ORE. r.HRISTIAN BROTHERS' BU�INESS COLLEGE, MAY .1911 CHRISTIAN BROTHERS BUSINESS COLLEGE FOREWORD object of this Souvenir is two-fold. First, it is fitting that a retrospect should be THE'taken of the twenty-five years spent by the Christlan Brothers in Oregon. The labors of the pioneer Brothers should not go unrecorded. The sacrifices they made and the privations they underwent should not be forgotten. The deeds of those whose hands are now stilled in death, and also of those others who have preceded us should not be lost sight of. Their patient, unselfish labor but spurs us on to work more earnestly for the salvation of souls and to do even greater things for God. "By their fruits you shall know them," and we, who have succeeded them in these later years,'" are reaping the reward 'of those who have labored patiently and without complaint in the past for the welfare of the young men of Portland. It is now a pleasure to meet so many of the Christian Brothers' pupils 'Of the past, to talk with them of their school days, and to rejoice with them in their successes. TheJ71 are always ready to say a kind word about their former teachers and to give a helping hand to carryon the work of the Christian Brothers in Portland. We also wish to bring before the public the facilities we now have to give to our students a thorough Christian and commercial education and to fit them to take their places in tne business world. Secondly, public thanks are due to those who have generously assisted us during these last few years. When we began the work of building a new college we were without funds. But the people of' Portland came to our assistance, stimulated by the example and encouraging words of His Grace, the Most Reverend Archbishop. 'To the credit of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, let it be said that it was they who gave us the first public subscription. Under their auspices, a St. Patrick's Day celebration was held in 1908, and after expenses were deducted, the sum of $2000 was turned over to the Christian Broth­ ers. The Reverend Clergy, the Alumni Association, the people of Portland and elsewhere-e-Cath­ olics and non-Catholics alike-e-have also generously contributed. Those who have assisted us by advertising in this Souvenir and by other means, we thank BROTHER V. ANDREW. F. s. C. sincerely. Our burden of indebtedness is still he avy and there is still much to be done to meet President. Christian Brothers' Business College the educational needs of our Catholic boys, but I have confidence in the future and feel that our efforts in their behalf will meet with continual and cordial co-operation.

Our Colleges are graduating men who achieve business success and who at the same time maintain a high standard of business morality. The reasons for this are not far to seek. Our Colleges, in the' first place, build well and wisely the health of their students. Regularity of hours, both of play and study, evenness of tasks and attractive, healthful environ­ ment go far to give our students that foundation of physical vigor which counts so much in the business world. Secondly, our Colleges equip their boys with a 'fundamentally sound education. They do not yield to the vagaries of the elective system which permits a young boy to choose "easy" subjects and make his way through school without any definite training. The courses are well organized and lead to prepa.ration for life. The wisdom of this method is to be learned not merely from the success that has attended its use in Catholic schools but also in the fact that other schools which were a few years ago extreme advo­ cates of the elective course have returned to the more conservative system. Still more important, the Catholic College defines for its pupils the ap­ plication of the laws of God to the business dealings of men. It is not suf­ ficient that young men be taught that honesty is the best policy. This is no sufficient incentive to the practice of virtue when strong temptations. to dis­ honesty arise. There must be higher motives. The consciences of men must be enlightened by a knowledge of the laws of God and their wills must be strengthened by His grace through the Sacraments. On no other founda­ tion can we secure morality and business integrity. To lay deep and firm this foundation in the characters of its pupils will be the highest duty and noblest aim of the Catholic Business College. The Christian Brothers' Business College of Portland keeps clearly in view this fundamental purpose of a Catholic Business College. The stream of strong, energetic, capable students' who have passed through the course of studies prescribed and who look to the Christian Brothers' College as their Alma Mater is the best testimonial to the work done by the Brothers. Their students are numbered among the best business and professional men of the city and wherever they are, whatever position of honor or trust they hold, they are everywhere known to be men of honesty of character and business integrity. I am proud of the Christian Brothers' Business College and I count any young man fortunate who has the privilege of attending the classes of these devoted Brothers and the honor or receiving his diploma, .rrom their hands.
