In researching the life and times of Augustine Conniff (class of 1902) who wrote the alma mater (See Nate Pine and crusader thread in football) I came across this report in 1903 in which the majority of the graduates of the class of 1`902 reported on their whereabouts. The entire class was listed, but some apparently did not provide information on what they were doing.
Report of the Class of 1902 in 1903
Law and Insurance Jefferson Medical College (Philadelphia) Seminary, Montreal Law Student (Conniff) Harvard Medical School Harvard Law School Bowdoin Medical School (I think this was the medical school for Maine) Catholic University North American College, Rome Teaching, LaSalette College Law Student Boston University Seminary, Rochester NY Postgraduate Dept., Georgetown Colorado School of Mines Medical student, Baltimore (Johns Hopkins probably) Journalism, New York Times Columbia Medical School Seminary, Niagara Univ Seminary, Rochester NY Law Student Harvard Medical School Yale Law School Student of Pharmacy Business North American College, Rome Seminary, Montreal Columbia Medical School Seminary, Montreal Business
Sarasota might feel vindicated by the large number of seminarians produced.

1902/3 is a far cry from when Sarasota or any of us attended Holy Cross. So, Phreek, as a usual, an interesting factoid. The world of Holy Cross and the world of the Catholic Church and the world at large at the turn of the 20th century is nothing like it was in the middle of that same century. But you knew that and I suspect your tongue was firmly in your cheek when you wrote your last post. If so, I salute you.

books.google.com/books?id=Uo9GAQAAMAAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=falseSeveral seriatim catalogs of the college starting with 1899-1900, as scanned at the University of Illinois, Urbana. __________________________________________ All the faculty and administrators were Jesuit, save one (who was the Professor of Orchestral Music). The undergraduates numbered about 250. The geographic distribution: almost no one from New Jersey, many more from the coal mining areas of Pennsylvania than now. Relatively few from Boston compared to Worcester and other parts of Massachusetts. One from CA, one from GA, and that's about it in terms of a 'national' reputation / brand. Only one hour a week of theology, compared to nine hours a week of Latin and Greek. The Ratio Studiorum lives (mostly)! Great enthusiasm for the new gymnasium. The official seal is something to behold! ^^^^All the above said without tongue in cheek.

I think it fair to say that Fr. K would be proud of you, Phreek.

I think it fair to say that Fr. K would be proud of you, Phreek. I greatly miss Fr. K's contributions to this board and to the college, not the least of which was his diligence in ferreting out the latest real estate purchases by the college!

Clicked on the link PP provided and on page 23, under the College Course, Schedule of of Studies, The Crusades are listed as a topic for study. This has to be expunged by Fr. B. and cohorts!
Lending credence to the College's Catholic roots are several organizations such as The League of The Sacred Heart of Jesus, page 54, Sodality of The Immaculate Conception, page 55, and Sodality of The Holy Angels. Seriously doubt these are around anymore, wouldn't be countenanced in today's HC environment.
