Memorial volume of the centenary of St. Mary's Seminary of St. Sulpice, Baltimore, Md. : 1791-1891. picians had always claimed that theirspecial vocation was to form young men for the priest-hood, and not for secular professions. But till thendifficulties, which they deemed insurmountable, had pre-vented them from carrying out their normal object.^ow the circumstances which had led them to engagein the functions of the ministry and the work of theCollege had passed away, and four years of ever-grow-ing prosperity had proved the success of the new Pre-paratory College of St. Charles.

Father de Oourson, decided upon suppressing College, and stopping the exercise of the exter-nal ministry.^ The College was actually closed in 1852,and, through an understanding with the Jesuit Fathers,the vacancy was filled at once by the founding of LoyolaCollege. Thirty-nine years have passed since that event, The basement of St. Marys Chapel continued to be open to the public tillthe death of Father A. Elder, in Rt. Rev. B. J. Flaget, D.
