Excerpt from College Days at Georgetown, and Other Papers Was a sort of chronological map and Noah's ark, not only of every important place and fact and person In the annals of the College, but in those of the State and Colony of Maryland from the beginning. The Jesuits came in the first expedition of Calvert, and Father Fenwick could tell you about them all, and their vicissitudes from St. Inigoes to George town, - their trials, sufferings, and final triumph, whereby they made Maryland the Land of the Sanctuary, and, greater still, they made their mis sion the corner-stone of the solid edifice of the Catholic Church in the United States. The his tory of the Jesuits in colonial Maryland has not yet been written, but the lost chapter, I am happy to learn, may yet be rescued from the moth and rust of time, and even now, by research in Europe and America, is in course of systematic preparation.
