dent, faculty, and students of this
University, have faithfully and fit-
tingly continued that sacred tradition.
What of the future ? As long as the
Cross—the symbol of our salvation,
and of our congregation—crowns in
benediction yonder tower, and as long
as a priest or a brother of Holy Cross
lives on this campus, George Washing-
ton will be honored at St. Edward’s.”
Regarding the part that Catholicism
has pl'ayed in the advancement of the
liberty of man, Father O’Brien said in
part:
“Although the several forms of gov-
ernment, including democracy, were
practiced in Greece, Catholicism is the
mother of American democracy. The
Greek term of democracy did not in-
clude government by the people, of the
people, and for the people. The vast
majority of the Greek population were I Scholastic philosophy. It was
slaves. The Greek form of democracy doctrine that was practiced by the
was limited to a small minority of the dieval guilds.

unity and energy. Such a man Provi-
dence provided in George Washingtopg»

are as old as man. They are the-^

of Independence. They are the rights

people, and these chosen few did not
recognize the right to life, liberty,
and property in the others.
“The Roman idea of democracy was
little better than that of the Greeks. It
was reserved for Catholicism to teach
and to practice the equality, liberty,
and rights of man. Thus we find our
Divine Savior teaching the Father-
hood of God, the equality and brother-
hood of man, in the Lord’s Prayer;
‘Our Father Who art in heaven.’ St.
Paul teaches the Galatians: ‘There is
neither bond nor free; there is neither
male nor female. For you are all
one in Christ Jesus.’
“This doctrine of the equality of
rights of man was taught by St. Au-
gustine and St. Gregory the Great.
This doctrine was taught through the
Middle Ages. It is the doctrine of
Scholastic philosophy. It was the
me-
lt was the doctrine
that was written in the declaration of
rights in the Magna Charta in 1215,
under the leadership of the Catholic
archbishop, Stephen Langton, and at
a time when all Europe was Catholic.”
Washington’s Leadership
At the outset of his talk, Father
O’Brien paid homage to the leadership
of Washington—a leadership that pro-
cured liberty for the weak and dis-
ordered colonies.
“In the third quarter of the eigh- j
teenth century the liberty of the colo- j
nists was severely threatened. Their
| rights were denied; their entreaties
spurned; taxes were levied on them
without representation; aggression
was followed by the sword. Liberty
was the great and just cause. A
leader was sorely needed: a man of
noble character and of keen vision;
a man of military genius and of strong
physique; a man of high morals and
of rare virtues; a man who could

Flag Presented
Father O’Brien’s address was pre-
ceded by the presentation of an Amer-
ican flag to the University by the
senior class. The presentation talk
was made by Charles Trefflich, presi-
dent of the seniors. A brief accep-
tance on behalf of the University was
made by the Rev. J. Hugh O’Donnell,
C. S. C., president of St. Edward’s.
The presentation of the flag is a long
established custom, each senior class
giving one on Washingtons’ birthday.
The flag is flown from the campus
flag pole during the following school
year.
The program was opened with an
academic procession from the Admin-
istration building, the members of the
.senior class making their first public
appearance in caps and gowns. As
the procession entered the auditorium
the University orchestra struck up a
processional. The seniors and other
participants in the program took seats
on the stage.
Ceremony Will Continue
Other events included the recita-
tion of the poem, “The American
Flag;” by Francis Coover; the reading
of selections from Washington’s Fare-
well Address, Frank Herron, acting
for Luis Munoz, who was injured in
the basketball game at Sherman last
Friday; and the delivering of an ora-
tion on Washington, by Walter Beach.
Musical numbers on the program in-
cluded two vocal solos by John Flynn;
violin solos by Joseph J. Van Ackeren,
professor of music, and several selec-
tions by the orchestra.
Father O’Donnell spoke of the giv-
ing of the flag as symbolizing the fact
that religion and patriotism could be
exemplified at the same time. He re-
ferred to Washington’s statement, in
the Farewell Address, that religion
and morality were the supports of gov-
ernment. He quoted from several let-
ters Washington had written to va-
rious religious sects, setting forth the
fact of religious freedom in the United
States.
The Reverend President called upon
the seniors, as future graduates of a
Catholic university, to preach and de-
fend the proposition of religious lib-
erty and equality of opportunity. He
emphasized the fact that Catholics had
suffered and died in all of the wars of
the United States.
“If allegiance to God and allegiance
to country are incompatible, then
Washington spoke an untruth, but
Washington spoke the truth, as exem-
plified by the record of history. There-
fore, dual allegiance is morally right
and constitutionally sound. Otherwise
Yorktown is a myth; Chapultepec a
story; Santiago de Cuba, a romance,
and the Meuse-Argonne a mere fancy.”
Dual allegiance, Father O’Donnell
explained, means nothing but the wor-
ship of God according to the dictates
of conscience and a loyal, unswerving
interest to country and the flag it rep-
resents.
“This is Catholic teaching,” he con-
tinued. “This is Catholic practice, it
is patriotism, personified. It is pa-
triotism, lived. It needs no apology;
wants no apology, accepts no apology.
It is the truth.”
The custom of giving a flag each
year was referred to by Father O’Brien
in the course of his address. “I am
happy,” he declared, “at the know-
ledge of the fact that we at St. Ed-
ward’s have not waited for the bicen-
tennial anniversary of his birth to
honor Washington. We have always
honored George Washington! These
tattered and timeworn flags, majestic
in their sacred silence, testify in the
gold of symbolic eloquence to the
patriotic love and the intense devo-
tion which inspired former students
and faculties of this university to as-
semble on every re-occuring anniver-
sary of Washington’s birthday and by
solemn ceremony to honor the Father
of Our Country.
