Baccalmtreate sermon delivered by the iJiost Reverend Charles Francis Buddy, D.D., Bishop of San Diego, Cali- fornia, in the Chapel of the Holy Ghost, Saint iJiary's Col- lege, Notre Dame, June 3, at 9 a. 111.

I N accord with the thoughts so eloquently expressed last evening, there is related in the second book, first chapter, of "Parali- pomenon" that Solomen went before the Altar, the tabernacle of the Lord and prayed and offered sacrifice

May we also felicitate the distinguished parents of the graduates who with prayer and sacrifice have dreamed and longed that they might live to see this day. They see it and

The confer- ring of academic hon- ors also rejoices the Church of God be- cause of the possibili- ties for moral and cul- tural leadership in those who, shielded with the breastplate of truth, go forth cour- ageously from this of- ficers' training school.

Reverend Fathers, Venerable graduates and friends all- Let me warmly congratulate the Class of 1938, who, in their quest for wisdom and knowledge, have in this bright haven of learn- ing reached another milestone along the way -per aspera ad astra. Ju~E, 1938 knowledge Sisters,

father who guarded you so tenderly through grade and high schools, and who was capable of self-abnegation to provide the best for you, -a well-balanced college education. As you pass from lovely girlhood into mature and even more lovable womanhood, you will rec- ognize in the sweet face of your mother- since the time she bent over your cradle- 107
