Excerpt from A Plea for the Higher Education of Catholic Young Men of America: With an Exposure of the Frauds of the University of Notre Dame, Ind.; Preceded by a Circular Letter to the Archbishops, Bishops and Prominent Clergy of the United States Circular to the Archbishops, Bishops and Prominent Members of the Catholic Hierarchy of America. Most Reverend Sir I deem it my duty to present you with a copy of my Plea for the higher education of the Catholic young men of America. I have not the least doubt that the plan expounded in this book of having Catholic colleges and universities in every State with Bishops as presidents of the board of trustees and learned lay men as professors, will meet with your approval. This book is not only useful for advocating this plan and showing how easily these new Catholic college's could be started, it may be also useful in correcting abuses and frauds which would not be tolerated in any institution of learning, and which should not certain ly be found in a Catholic university.
