Universities are the brains of a
nation: they cannot therefore remain
indifferent to national problem*.
In a country like ours, officially
bjlinsrual, whose history comprises
two distinct parts — the French
regime and the English regime —
where two different traditions of re-
ligion, education, intellectual ideals
1 meet together in ull circumstances,
1 must suy that the national sense is
still in the making. Our national
status has been defined only recent-
ly, during the Westminster Confer-
ence. Long ago, we have been a
colony—nobody remembers thut nor
cares to remember—we have been a
dominion from 1807 to 1028; now, we
are a realm, an autonomous realm,
with the King of England on the
throne; a virtually independent realm
which is a part of the British Com-
monwealth of nations. This new
status involves certain privileges
with which our puople as a whole are
not yet familiar—and it is no won-
der, for old-fashioned imperialists
have endeavored for years to mini

of our universities which will thus
become the strongholds of our na-
tional aspirations.
There too, particularly In our fac-
ulty of law, our Internat ion al poli-
tics should be elaborated, by men
who are experts in the matter and
Whose disinterestedness :;|J.' a guar-
antee of freedom. I will further say
that many aspects of our political;
economic, and educational life, ap-
pearing on the program of our school
of Social Science, are well protected
against the interference of party
spirit. All those who contemplate
doing their share in social service,
those who are attracted by journal-
ism as a #ureer or those whose ambi-
tion urges them to the mayoralty or
deputation, should matriculate in our
School. It is recognised that excel-
lent laws, recently voted, have been
inspired ami even drafted by our pro-
fessors.

Of course, ladies and gentlemen,
the French Universities of Quebec
and Montreal, like others of the same
universal type, have had from the
beginning their faculties of law and
medicine. Ours ate more than sixty

Besides, We French-Canadians who
have been in this new land one hun-

ing of the English, we who have built
our homes on the shores of the Sti
Lawrence and all over Canada with-
out any hope or temptation of ever
returning to France, we hold that our
culture, our laws and traditions, have
the same rights as the English

the course of time, arts, letters, phar-
macy, dental surgery, engineering,
commerce, and natural sciences. All
these branches of learning are neces-
sary to our growing youth and are
taught nowhere else, in their mother-
tongue, except in France. We wore
compelled to organize such schools
and we do not regret having done; so.1
But it is obvious today that uni-
versities. must specialize, at last to
a certain extent. Besides, it is now
impossible to compete; in certain
fields, with neighboring universities,
magnificently endowed anil equipped
with perfect laboratories, and boast-
ing of exceptional staffs.'. #5 profb's-
so'rs. '
The requirements are not exactly
the same all oyer the country; there-
fore, universities have to select which
of them must be fully answered to.
If I understand well, this is what
your institution hus been doing for
years, and it has become famous in
the field of pure and applied science,
With notable undertakings in letters
and art.
What is our own position in Que-
of the country which are twofold
the French regime laws which we
have preserved and the English laws
brought to us in 1763. Our civil
laws are; French and any one wish-
ing to get familiar with them hus a
splendid opportunity to do so in
Montreal.
1 have spoken lengthily of theol-
ogy, philosophy, and social science:
Montreal, Quebec, and Ottawa are
the only three universities where the
Catholic view in these ail-important
domains of the thought can be sc-
oured. It is our aim steadily to de-
velop the teaching of letters, law,
social science, philosophy, and religi-
ous doctrine, in order to make of our
Universities Latin centers of culture
on this Anglo-Saxon continent. Such
was the mission our French-Canadian
ancestors contemplated as early as
1770, when they attempted to found-
ation of the Royal George College,
whose name alone remained. This
mission is still our goal.
* * «
May I Mm this strange sermon by
quoting an illustrious man who has
drawn the charter of Catholic univer-
sities in a powerful document entitled
"Deus suientiarum Dominu*.", Oil the
occasion of the golden1 jubilee of the
Catholic University of America, His
Holiness Pius XI wrote words which
can be listened to and understood by
every Christian educationist worthy
of the name. Here they are;
"Through the University, , it will, be
possible to bring to bear upon the.
moat pressing problems of the pal
the full force of those lipWnciples of
justice!., and charity in which alone
theyv will find fchertjf solution, In ,the

sordid game of power and prestige,
or would seek to banish him from
membership in the human family;'
it is in the same Holy Name that he
opposes any social philosophy which
would regard man as a mere chattel;
in commercial competition, for profit,
or would set him at the throat of his
fellows in a blind, brutish class strug-
gle for existence." .'
Let my last word be a wish of suc-
cess and prosperity to the most dis-
tinguished and cultured President of
this n^hle institution; to ;the numer-
ous and competent staff of profes-
sore who have greeted pie, so sym-
pathetically; to .the students so care-
fully selected and, diligently trained,
wS compose the intellectual poster-
ity of a great and lar-sitfhted man,
the founder of this University, God
bless1 i|s all! And may His grace
make of us complete men, I mean;
learned, philosophical, and rdlitrious
men! Amen. j
