Delone, Frank X., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to James F. Edwards, Notre Dame, Indiana, 1899 November 19

Because of his studies he is pushed for time to devote to his correspondence. He is glad his brother Louis is progressing so nicely. Fehr is getting along very well in his course and finds the work more thorough than at Notre Dame. However few can surpass Prof. Barker in physics. They find that English is taught better at Notre Dame University. Delone thinks Edwards is a little severe in his remarks concerning Catholic students in non-Catholic institutions. He has not found what Edwards says to be the case at the University of Pennsylvania. The Catholic students there are just as attentive to their religious duties as at Notre Dame. He has always found a fair representation of Catholics in whatever the subject may be, especially in his history. The Newman Club has 300 to 400 members and is an organization that the university is proud of as the provost has said on several occasions. Archbishop Patrick J. Ryan presides over their meetings at times. Pennsylvania is proud of her Catholic students. :: XI-2-b A.L.S. 15pp.
