Arthur Fitzpatrick, ex. '15, David Glise, ex. '16, Mell Morrin, '16, Paul

Burke, ex. '16, William Kleffman, ex. '17, Raymond Beecher, '17, Patrick
McGuinis, '17, David Murphy, '17, George Millet, '17, all former students of
St. Ambrose, are following the course of Sacred Theology at St. Mary's
Seminary, Baltimore, Md.
It is to the care of St. Mary's, the Mother Seminary of the United States,
that St. Ambrose has entrusted most of her sons chosen by God to further
the sacred mission of Christ in the world. St. Mary's is the oldest Seminary
in the United States. Since 1791 she has educated and trained thousands
of priests, and many holy and zealous bishops and archbishops are numbered among her Alumni. His Eminence, Cardinal Gibbons, the senior
prince of the Catholic Church in America, is a son and a most devoted friend
of St. Mary's.
The Faculty of the Seminary, the French Fathers of St. Sulpice, are
known far and wide for their piety and learning. They have at present
well under construction a Divinity College at Washington, for the Fourth
Year Theological Course, which offers a splendid opportunity to students of
following special work at the University. Her location in the National Capital is but another indication of her thoroughly cosmopolitan spirit—in fact
since her infancy St. Mary's has been national in character. Shedding light
everywhere in this vast country, and constantly maintaining a high standard of efficiency in discipline and ecclesiastical science, this grand old seminary moves stately on in the second century of a glorious career.
The Very Rev. J. T. A. Flannagan, V. G., called on the Iowa students at
St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore, during the year. He also renewed old
acquaintances among the faculty of his Alma Mater.
Lieut. Father Barry, our good friend and one-time professor, has entered
the service of his country. His genial disposition and ready wit in past
days brought cheer and encouragement in the class-room and these same
qualities which fitted him admirably for the professorship will stand him
in good stead with his soldier-comrades. We enjoyed his lectures and even
his criticisms which were always clean-cut and were voiced in Father
Barry's own peculiar style. His departure from us was a cause both of
regret and joy: of regret, because we had grown to admire him as a soul
that was happy in itself and was engaged in making others happy; of joy,
because we are glad to have Father Barry enlisted in the great cause of
justice and liberty. By all who ever knew him Godspeed and best wishes
are extended to Father Barry, now stationed in Douglas, Arizona, with the
First U. S. Cavalry.
