A BAD WORD FOR HARVARD.Yale and Harvard are the growth of generations, and we cannot hope to produce a similar institution in less time. Both have been constantly and most liberally aided by donations and bequests, and one of them may be said to be a State institution. We don't propose to rival them immediately, but we hope to begin the movement now from which may spring the university of the future. As I am represented as having said "the higher branches at Yale and Harvard are calculated to alienate Catholic young men from their religion," it is proper for me to state that I said no such thing. What I did say was that Catholics could obtain the higher branches at Yale and Harvard, but what I did not clearly explain perhaps, was the additional fact that our prelates wisely hold that we should direct and control such branches in a university of our own. I don't know who the priest is who so jauntily declares that "the danger of alienating our youth from Catholicism" is not very great as the result of a Harvard or Yale course. But this I will say, that in my time I have met many Harvard men and found but one a sincere Christian. With the rest of them the pursuit of a secular knowledge seemed to have led to skepticism and a thinly disguised contempt for all things sacred. [T. B. Connery, N. Y. Times.
