University Of Ottawa Review Classic Reprint

Excerpt from University of Ottawa Review Catholic religion. Then came Chatauqua, the first of the great summer schools of the present day. Here recreation as a part of educational instruction was brought to the fore and occupied a prominent position in the curriculum, if such it may be called, for studies are more or less optional. This gave rise to the foremost Catholic summer school of to-day that at Cliff Haven on Lake Champlain. This has provided a splendid model from which have been constructed numerous others on a smaller scale, so that a description of it will give us an idea of the average Catholic summer school. Few schools are favored as this is situated on beautiful Lake Champlain, and surrounded by the famous Green Mountains, a district noted for its scenery, in a land of wonderful scenic beauty. Noble as is its situation, the object of its foundation is more worthy still of note, To give from the most authoritative sources among our Catholic writers and thinkers the Catholic point of view on all the issues of the day in science, society and religion as its Syllabus says, in part, and to remove false assumptions and correct false statements about the Church. For this purpose the school brings, every summer, the ablest and best equipped among our Catholic leaders of thought, whether lay or clerical, and crowds of people attend every year, intent upon taking advantage of this rare opportunity. Houses are available for all, and at times the place assumes the proportions of quite a colony; with its Buffalo, New York, Philadelphia, and other contingents lodged in their separate buildings. An immense auditorium is the lecture hall; and morning, afternoon and evening it is crowded. The morning is usually taken up vith what might be called didactic lectures, such as social, political and economic problems; the evening is devoted to lighter matters, such as travel and literature and music, the latter especially being very popular. Concerts, in afternoon and evening, are of frequent occurrence, and musicians not unknown to fame often delight the audience with their art. Recreations of various kinds are available, and the tennis courts, golf links and athletic fields receive considerable attention.

Excerpt from University of Ottawa Review, 1913-1914, Vol. 16 In any community the water supply is of paramount import ance. Whether drawn from the majestic river as it courses to the sea or from a reservoir on the hilltop, through the arteries of mains beneath the city streets the water is carried into the homes to purify and strengthen.

Excerpt from University of Ottawa Review, Vol. 14: 1911-1912 Very Reverend Rector, Reverend Gentlemen of the Faculty, Ladies and Gentlemen: feel as that man must have felt who, sitting in the lowest place, was called to come up higher. Proud and flattered as I am he must have been; and yet I am sure his step faltered as he walked upwards and speech to him was difficult when he tried to give ex pression to his gratitude for the kindly invitation. A man would have to have a fine conceit of himself who could without embarrassment join the distinguish ed circle of men who have received degrees from this university - men who in church and state, in divinity and law and medicine, in the great profession of teaching the arts and sciences that make for human advancement and human betterment, have shed such a lustre upon the University of Ottawa.
