Scope and Contents

Drummond received the six numbers of the Ave Maria. On leaving England, he was informed that he was to be Prefect of Studies at St. Joseph College, in St. Boniface. School began August 19, so that the students would be prepared for the May examination of Manitoba University. St. Joseph's is the oldest of three affiliated colleges that constitute the University. It was begun in 1818, while the Anglican college of St. John's was started in 1820, and Manitoba College, a Presbyterian institution, is comparatively recent. The Anglican Bishop of Rupert's Land is Chancellor of the University, the Vice Chancellor is Joseph Royal, a Catholic who was formerly Prime Minister of Manitoba. The University Council comprises Anglican and Presbyterian ministers, Archbishop Alexander Tache of St. Boniface, two secular priests, Father H. Lory, S.J., President of St. Boniface College and Drummond. The College was formerly managed by the Oblates of Mary, but due to a scarcity of priests, the Jesuits were called in to manage it. :: X-2-o A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
