Book Description

Excerpt from Gonzaga College, an Historical Sketch The Diamond Jubilee of Gonzaga College marks an epoch in its career. It brings the institution prominently before the eyes of the world, and gives a right to all men to know something of its record in the past. Again, in this our world of ever-recurring excitement, where the interest evoked by any event is so soon dispelled by a succeeding one, unless some means be taken to perpetuate the memory of an occurrence that may have been a cause of rejoicing to many while it lasted, it will quickly have escaped from mind and become lost in the whirl of passing years. For these reasons it was determined to issue the following Historical Sketch of Gonzaga College, to serve as a source of information to those whose interest in the College may have been awakened to the extent of urging them to inquire into its inception and progress, and as a memorial volume to others who may have participated in or witnessed the solemn functions of the Jubilee. Moreover, it would savor of injustice to omit to record in some enduring manner the names and the deeds of those of the past who, by their devotedness and self-sacrifice, by their generous struggles in the midst of countless difficulties, have carried on the work through years of obscure but efficient labor and have made possible the joy and the glory of the present.
