Whether the Catholic Church will ever abandon its absurd claims to infallibility, it will always be the duty of its members to do their duty before...

Ease and effectiveness in the government of the College are chiefly to be expected along the line of better understanding between the Faculty and the students; for in the case of two such bodies it is not familiarity, but unfamiliarity, which breeds contempt. The progress of the past few years has shown how true this is, and it has been very gratifying to notice the constantly improving relations between professors and students. The College Conferences would have...
