Georgetown Beginnings

By Edwin W . Beitzell '28

In 1638, four years after the settlement of Maryland, Father Ferdinand Poulton, S. J., the Superior at St. Inigoes, in St. Mary's County, conceived the idea of establishing a college in the colony and his plan was submitted to the General of the Society of Jesus, who wrote in 1640 as follows : "The hope held out of a college I am happy to entertain, and when it shall have matured I will not be backward in extending my approval." Probably due to the heavy demands on the few Jesuit missionaries and the invasion of Maryland by Richard Ingle in 1645, the project was delayed for some years.

A beginning was made on January 27, 1649, when Henry Hooper, Surgeon, of St. Inigoes left an estate to Ralph Crouch, a layman closely associated with the Jesuits, "to be imployed in such pious uses, as the said Ralphe Crouch shall best thinke fitte." Crouch established a school with this fund but it is uncertain whether the school was located at St. Inigoes or at St. Mary's City. Confirmation that this school was actually in existence is contained in a letter dated August 20, 1650 to Father Thomas Copley, S. J. , from Father Piccolomini in which among other things he wrote: "I do not doubt that the school opened by the Father, your companion, (Father Lawrence Starkey, S.J .) will be worth the pains."

In 1653, Edward Cotton of Newtown also left Crouch an estate "wch was left eyther for the settling of a schoole or to bee employed uppon other pious uses." Concerning this school, Crouch wrote from England in 1662 to the Provincial Court as follows: "I aflirme boldly allsoe that on my part I did (as appeared to all the neighbours) as much as lay in mee, fulfill the will of the Deceased, in remoueing my teaching of schoole to the New Towne : & there was ready some yeares to teach eyther Protestants or Catholikes, yet never had more out of that Estate than to the value of six or seaven hundd

4

pounds of Tobacco for some that could not discharge for their schooling." Crouch, in the same letter, gave his consent to the continued use of the estate for the school.

After Crouch's removal to Newtown, in the center of St. Mary's County, it is uncertain for some years what happened to the school in the southern part of the County. However, on March 27, 1697, Governor Francis Nicholson of Maryland wrote to the English Boara of Trade as follows: " ... few schools, and those but very mean ones ei ther for Master or House, but the Jesuits

and Priests had some, especially one brick one at St. Mary's."

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that a school was an integral part of each Jesuit Residence in the Colony; that a system of parochial schools was in existence, probably by 1660, if not earlier. Governor Nicholson speaks of "some" schools. It is known definitely that schools were in operation at the Jesuit Residences at St. Mary's City and Newtown at early dates and in later years mention is made of schools at St. Inigoes, St. Thomas and Bohemia Manors. It would have been strange if the Jesuits had not founded schools, for .the education of youth has always been one of their important fun ctions.

Although Ralph Crouch returned to England in 1659, his letter of 1662 indicates that the school at Newtown was still in operation at that time. In June 1667, Luke Gardiner filed an accounting of the estate of Robert Cole, a carpenter, of Newtown containing an item, "To the

childrens schooling 2150 lbs. Tobacco." In the Annual Letter of the Jesuits for 1681, there is mention of a school for humanities at Newtown in 1677, conducted by two of the Jesuit Fathers and "the youths born there, unusually devoted to letters, are making good progress . . . the school has sent to St. Orner two students, who are surpassed in intelligence by few Europeans and strive for

the palm with the foremost of their class. Hence we infer that these lands, undeservedly called Barbarous, are most prolific, not alone of gold and silver and other products of the earth, but also of men made for virtue and the higher education. Two have been sent thither this year to aid those who are laboring in that most ample vineyard of the Lord."

According to Father Edward I. Devitt, S. J., the two Fathers who directed the school were Michael Foster and Francis Pennington and the "two of the Society sent out this year" were Brother Gregory Turberville and Brother John Berboel. The two boys sent to St. Orner's were Robert Brooke, who was the first native-born Marylander to become a Jesuit priest, and a son of Mr. Luke Gardiner, probably Thomas Gardiner, who is mentioned in 1694 as being a Maryland-born Scholastic. Thomas Hothersall, S. J., taught "humanities" and grammar at the school from 1683 to the time of his death in 1698.

The Protestant Rebellion of 1689 in Maryland and the establishment of the Church of England as the state church spelled the eventual doom of the Jesuit schools. The "Act to Prevent Popery," which was signed by Governor John Seymour, closed all Catholic churches and schools in Maryland on October 3, 1704, and none were permitted to exist again until a few years before the Revolutionary War.

During the period 1704-1772, the Jesuits were able to carry on limited educational activities at intervals, for brief periods of time and by stealth. They were particularly successful at Bohemia Manor, where a school was established in 1745 or 1746 and probably discontinued in 1749. A St. Inigoes Manor rent book mentions Vitus Herbert as a school boy at St. Inigoes in 1735, during the time of Father Thomas Gerard, S.J. Vitus had been left a legacy of 250 pounds of tobacco per year for his education.

Father George Hunter, S.J., established a school for girls at St. Thomas Manor in 1760. The school was taught by the Benoit Sisters, who were brought over from France, and conducted the school under the guise of a sewing and weaving circle until August 8, 1765. However, it was difficult and risky for Catholics to attempt to secure an education for their children during this period of proscription. The law provided severe penalties for a Catholic to keep or teach school and forced the more wealthy planters to send their children abroad for an education. On November 1, 1753, according to an article in the Maryland Gazette, Turner Wootton, High Sheriff of Prince George County, denied after being accused by a minister that Basil Waring had persuaded him to send his son to St. Orner's to be educated. He would have lost his position and suffered other penalties if the charge had been proven.

St. Orner's was the college that most of the Maryland students preferred, as it was conducted by the .English Jesuits, who furnished also the missionaries for the colony.


Father Spalding has compiled a list from the registers of the Jesuit Procurators in London, which reveals the names of many old Maryland families and includes Adams, Brent, Blake, Boarman, Boone, Brooke, Carroll, Cole, Darnall, Diggs, Doyne, Edelen, Falkner, Fenwick, Hogan, Hill, Hoskins, Howe, Gardiner, Jenkins, Lancaster, Matthews, Mattingly, Milbourn, Millard, Neal, Parkham, Pike, Pye, Queen, Semmes, Sewall, Spalding, Thompson and Wharton.

A few years after the Revolutionary War, with the ratification of the Constitution of the United States, guaranteeing religious liberty, Archbishop John Carroll, who had received his early education at Bohemia Manor, established Georgetown University in 1789. Various writers have held that Georgetown University was founded at Bohemia Manor, or Newtown or St. Mary's City. From the evidence, this would seem to be erroneous. It would be more nearly correct to say that Georgetown could have had its beginnings at any of these Jesuit schools, had not other events intervened.

The action of Seymour and the Assembly of 1704, in closing the Jesuit schools cost the State of Maryland heavily for there was nothing to take their place. One needs only to look at the census records of a hundred years ago and note the illiteracy, even among the large landholders, among whom will be found descendents of the same men who closed the Jesuit schools, to learn the answer.

Review of Recent Faculty Book Speaking of Politics. By Franklin Cary Salisbury.

New York: Vantage Press. $3.75.

Since the time of Marx, Communists, especially Soviet Communists, have appreciated the political power in the selection of words to impose ideas. Language has been prostituted, systematically and successfully, to deceive.

Marx said that ideas do not exist apart from language and Stalin seized upon that thought to make language an instrument of the "Class struggle"- a weapon which the western nations are onl y beginning to comprehend. In this countr y, Stuart Chase, Harold Lasswell, and a few others have publicized the intimate relationships between words and thoughts. Yet no substantial effort has been made to show how the good will of our citizenry and the aspirations of peoples throughout the world are being exploited by the purposeful misuse of words.

Ignorance can be the onl y excuse for the continued translation by the conscientious translators of the Soviet "Demokratiya" into the English "democracy." The author of "Speaking of Politics" notes in his introduction that words, which were developed during the centuries of human history to communicate thought, are now being used on a grand scale in a planned effort to subvert communication of thought. "Speaking of Politics" is a defense against this ideological war of aggression, and forms a constructive foundation for aggressive action by the political leaders of the West.

"Speaking of Politics" is all the more interesting when it is realized that the fundamental system of the book was conceived while Mr. Salisbury was a graduate student at Georgetown University Law School. What in many cases

appears to be a description of current events is actually a prophecy. The breakdown of international "Sovietcommunism" into competitive Communist systems vy ing for world monopoly of the Marxist-Leninism school was predicted, and we can see it today before our eyes in such centers of apparently opposing international Communist groups as Moscow, Peiping and Tel-Aviv.

To the intellectual, Salisbury's work is thought-provok· ing; to the student, educational; and to the general reader interesting in the ideas and illustrations contained in each of the short essays on political terms. For example, the author observes that Dialectical Materialism is simply material dialectics. As another illustration, he states that the failure to distinguish a "right"- a relationship which exists against the State, and a "privilege"-which may be taken away by the State, as in the mislabled " Declaration of Human Rights," "is hazardous to the maintenance of our freedom."

Those lawyers who are familiar with Hohfeld in Law School are thoroughly aware of the great difference between rights and privileges, but this startling conclusion of the author, without explanation will appear as a naive assumption to most readers. A just criticism of this work is that the author cannot attempt to explain all his con· elusions in one book. Nevertheless, its publication is justified if for no other reason than its existence, which indicates that we are, at long last, becoming aware of the nature of the political environment in which this nation exists. As this awareness develops Salisbury's efforts in "Speaking of Politics" will be handsomely rewarded.

RAY HUDSON CAPTAIN OF 7 932 TEAM

At the annual meeting of the lettermen, held yesterday, the Georgetown football team selected for its 1932 captain none other than Ray Hudson, an almost unanimous choice on every All-District eleven selected by local sports writers this year, and a man who has been a scintillating end for

the past two years. He has been outstanding as one of the best defensive linemen of a line noted for its stalwart

defense, and as one of the fastest ends in the country. His election yesterday was an almost foregone conclusion,

inasmuch as Ray was one of the most popular men among his team mates as well as with the fans, and because his

leadership ability was known by all to be brilliant.

Dear Mr. Ruby:

The January issue of the Georgetown University Alumni Magazine recalled to me fond memories. It brought back as a living reality the time-nearly two decades agowhen I sought and found at Georgetown knowledge which has proved so strengthening.

Georgetown is truly a university of proud distinction. Over the years, it has been the springboard which has launched many great Americans to a career of public service.

My associations with the university were of tremendous importance to me and it will always have my warmest and most enduring esteem.

Sincerely,

Dear Dr. Ruby:

I was very pleased to see the article in the Alumni Magazine about Georgetown's sons who have served their country in Congress.

For a long time I have heard comments about how many Georgetown men have served in Congress and in various government positions. This article has done much to set the record straight and show just how our Alma Mater has contributed to the government of these United States. It was also a very pleasant surprise to me to know just how many of my good friends and colleagues in the present Eighty-fifth Congress and in the Eighty-fourth Congress just passed were Georgetown men. I think that I learned as much from the article, or perhaps more, than did most of the alumni.

I will certainly be following the Alumni Magazine with the same interest in the future.

With congratulations to you on a job well done and kindest personal regards.

Sincerely,

Dear Dr. Ruby:

I have received the January 1957 issue of the Georgetown University Alumni Magazine. As always, I have enjoyed reading the same.

The purpose of this letter is to express my appreciation of the page therein entitled, "Georgetown in Congress." I am very pleased to find myself as one of ten members of the House and four members of the Senate who attended Georgetown University. I doubt if any other University could equal or exceed that number.

I hope that those of us who had the privileg,e of attending Georgetown and now members of the National Congress will prove ourselves worthy representatives of that Institution.

Sincerely yours.

Dear Jim:

I receive my Georgetown University Alumni Magazine regularly as a part of my dues and I am very much impressed by the outstanding January issue on the cover of which appear the seal of our government and the seal of Georgetown which are very much alike. .

The old Georgetown Tower and the Capitol dome on which are superimposed the great seal that goes with each-the one, symbolizing freedom of education; the other, the preservation of that freedom-are particularly appropriate at this time of the Inaugural ceremonies.

I was very pleasantly surprised to find such fine pictures of Georgetown alumni, my colleagues in the Congress, in what appears to be a special Congressional issue. It likely will be news to many of our fellow alumni to know that these present Members of Congress are. also devoted sons and they might more readily recognize them having seen their pictures.

My congratulations on a job well done.

Very sincerely yours,

Father Sherman as a young man ... as an Army Chaplain ... in later years

The Second SherDian

By Rev. Joseph T. Drtrkin, S.].

It will possibly be a surprise to some that the second son of General William Tecumseh Sherman of Civil War fame became a Jesuit priest and for many years was one of the leading pulpit orators and lecturers of the United States. Our almuni may pride themselves also on the fact that the future Father Thomas Ewing Sherman graduated with honors from the College in 1874, with his father sitting complacently in one of the front rows of Mulledy Auditorium.

The Jesuit-to-be had had a boyhood marked by not a few thrills. As a lad of thirteen he had visited his father's camp near Vicksburg, a few weeks after the city fell. (He even merited the General's reprimand for discussing military movements with a Confederate prisoner with whom he had made friends.) At the Grand Review of the triumphant Union troops in Washington in the spring of 1865 he had stood beside his mother in the Presidential box and watched his father ride down Pennsylvania Avenue at the head of the Army of Tennessee.

8

Afterwards he had grown accustomed to seeing two Presidents, numerous Civil War Generals and other prominent figures come as familiar guests to the Sherman home. During his schooldays at Georgetown he had gone every few weeks with the rest of the family to dine informally at the White House with the Grants.

He continued his secondary studies at Yale's Sheffield School of Engineering, while at the same time following the university's law course. One of his classmates at New Haven was William Howard Taft, whose proclivity for hearty laughing won for himself and Tom a season's pass from one of the local theatre managers who perceived that the future President's loud responsiveness to vaudeville sketches was an excellent advertisement for the trade.

He was apparently not immune to a weakness characteristic of college boys at least in the 1870's. "I am sorry to say I shall be unable to be economical," he writes to his father; "I am living, as you know, with a dozen fellows who are pretty well off, dress well, and spend quite a


good deal. I will try not to be extravagant, but college is a poor place to learn economy." He was, however, a serious student, with a bias toward writing on such provocative topics as that of his senior thesis, "Arsenic and Its Relation to the Law." The General, always a discriminating man, thought that the theme was exotic.

With a law degree and the brightest of worldly futures before him, Tom had thrown all this aside in 1878 to enter the Jesuit Novitiate. The move shocked and chagrined his father, who, as is well known, was not a Catholic. For two years the General refused to be reconciled to what he termed his son's "desertion" of his mother, brother, and sisters. It was only on Tom's return from the Novitiate in 1880 to pursue his studies in the Jesuit seminary at Woodstock, Maryland, that the paternal ire was assuaged.

After his long stretch of philosophical and theological studies, his years of teaching as a "Scholastic" and his ordination to the priesthood, he entered on the work that was to make him, in his day, famous.

From 1892 to 1896 and during most of the first decade of the present century he was one of the most talked-of preachers in the Nation. One of his special loves was the giving of missions to Protestants. In this line was a pioneer among American priests. Not infrequently at these sessions Protestant ministers would be among his most respectful listeners.

His voice was also lifted repeatedly to oppose Socialism, the social heresy which at the time was a threat to the American way of life. With prophetic insight he hit hard at Marxism, which, he claimed, was implied in the Socialist program. He may have erred in this interpretation, but what he said about the more dangerous doctrine could be used against the Communists today.

If there was one passion that gripped him besides his love of God and his near-worship of his father, it was his enthusiastic devotion to the American Union. He was a!!;~ressively, even pugnaciously, patriotic. Stemming from this feeling for his country was his constant insistence on the value of political and religious freedom in the American style. He served as a chaplain on the Puerto Rican front in the Spanish-American War. His official report to the War Department in 1898 is one of the shrewdest analyses of conditions in Puerto Rico that ever issued from American sources.

He was one of the first of the clergy to realize the need for a vigorous Catholic press. For almost ten years he directed the Catholic Truth Society of Chicago, which disseminated Catholic literature with the happiest effect.

As has often occurred in the lives of great and good men, his last years were darkened by a deep tragedy. But why, in such a brief sketch as this, should we give away the story? The real significance of his career lies, perhaps, in the way the tragedy ended shortly before his death in 1933.


Not Lhe least important of the Georgetown angles of the Tom Sherman story is the one he himself pointed out: "I owe my priestly vocation to a retreat I made at Georgetown in 1874." As a very old man he used to come to Washington occasionally and walk nostalgically about the campus.

He died at New Orleans. By a strange coincidence his grave adjoins immediately that of his fellow-Jesuit, Father Joseph Salter, the grandnephew of Alexander Stephens, Vice-President of the Southern Confederacy.

The writer has just finished the biography of this important and challenging character. One of the subsidiary pleasures of the task has been the new light thrown by fresh documents on the character and views of William Tecumseh Sherman himself. The leader of the March through Georgia has never been popular in the South. This is indeed an understatement. It is therefore all the more surprising- and consoling-to find the hard-bitten General deploring in the strongest terms the brutual Reconstruction regimes inflicted on the Southern States from 1865 to the early seventies.

It was terribly unfair, he asserted, to deprive the Southern people of their right of self-government. That the South itself appreciated Sherman's sympathy was shown dramatically in 1879 when the conqueror of Georgia was received with cordiality and understanding as he revisited the same battlegrounds he had marched over roughshod iu 1864. It is difficult to say whether this was a greater tribute to the magnanimity of the great Southern people than it was to the magnanimity of Sherman.

Another rewarding experience in the writing of the book has been the author's association with Miss Eleanor Sherman Fitch, of New York City, granddaughter of the General. To this gracious lady historical scholarship owes a great debt. She has preserved and catalogued with meticulous and loving care a mass of unpublished letters, diaries, and other writings from the hand of William Tecumseh Sherman himself. No definitive study of the second greatest military leader of the North can be made without the use of these precious sources.

It is hoped that the biography of Father Thomas Sherman will make at least some contribution to our knowledge of the Civil War and to the changing and sometimes startling re-evaluations that fresh information concerning the struggle inevitably induces. It is a surprising fact that now, on the eve of the centennial year of the conflict, there is still so much to be corrected, modified, and added in the history of the crucial events of 1861-1865.

Refugees lend a helping hand themselves in burning leaves and clearing St. Mary's church yard.

Hungarian Haven Rev. Robert S. O'Kane, '33, started a local Hungarian relief drive on a personal scale when he collected refugees /rom Camp Kilmer, N. ]., and brought them back to his own parish of St. Mary's , Fair/ax, Va. The pictures on this page tell the story of that effort far more eloquently than words.

A Tribute To Father Heyden An unexpected tribute to a well-known George

town figure appeared in the July 6, 1956 edition of

the Washington Evening Star. Writing a letter to

the editor, Mr. Stanwood Cobb, Director of the

Chevy Chase Country Day School, told the following story:

"Little 8-year-old Prince Ali al-Sabah of the rul

ing family of oil-rich Kuwait wanted to look at the

moon through a big telescope before he left Wash

ington. During his year in this city, he had fished

and ridden horseback in nearby Virginia, had

skated (or tried to skate) on the ice-bound Reflect

ing Pool, had climbed the Washington Monument,

visited the Capitol, looked at pictures in the Na

tional Museum, and had seen the world's first air

plane at the Smithsonian. In addition, he had at

tended regular mosque service and the Islamic

Sunday school in the beautiful mosque on Massa

chusetts avenue, toward the building of which his

father had contributed. In addition, of. course, he

had learned to read and to deal successfully with

those magic Arabic numerals which his brilliant

race had originated. "Still, before he returned to his native land, he

longed to see the mountains on the moon and those

sun-drenched plateaus where space-ships might land.

Being too young to visit the United States Observa

tory, we telephoned kind-hearted Father Francis

Heyden, director of Georgetown University Observ·

atory, and explained our case to him. He invited us

to come down the following Thursday night, saying

that was the best time to see the mountains on the

moon, as it was beginning its first quarter.

"Father Heyden greeted as cordially as any old

friend this little prince from Kuwait. With a gentle

kindness he concentrated the whole machinery of

the observatory upon his little visitor. Slowly, the

great telescope was shifted toward the moon's posi-

tion in the western sky and then the dome itself was

moved to suit. After considerable adjustment, he said to Prince Ali, 'Now, look.'

"Prince Ali climbed the big stepladder until he

could look through the small lens that reflected the

moon to his eye. The position of the moon was just

right for a vivid glimpse of its huge craters filled

with shadows, one edge catching the blazing light

of the sun. That part of the moon not visible to the

eye was in the moon's night, Father Heyden ex

plained. And the craters so brightly lit up were now in the moon's dawn.

"For about an hour, Father Heyden answered as

best he could the boy's eager and naive questions.

Then he turned the telescope to Jupiter, the sun's largest planet, and Ali saw strung along side the

great globe of light which was Jupiter, a series of

three small lights on one side, and one light on the

other-four of the seven moons of Jupiter as then were visible.

"Father Heyden explained that Jupiter was the

largest planet in the solar system-large enough to

hold all the other planets inside it. This and much

more astronomical lore-put in as simple terms as

possible-the kindly astronomer poured into Ali's eager ears.

"As Ali turned at last to go, he thanked his kind

host and added with deep sincerity, 'I shall never

forget tonight!' "Mrs. Cobb and I shall never forget it either. It

was actually an impressive occasion-for it was a

remarkable expression-on the part of a great

astronomer-of that international good will which

eventually will bring all the world together, living

as that one great family which in reality is-the human race."
