Excerpt from Loyola University Magazine: November, 1919 At the Cathedral, the Cardinal assisted at the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, which was followed by a luncheon at the residence of the Archbishop. The party then motored to Loyola campus where the distinguished visitor was to receive an honorary degree from our University. The day was raw, but in spite of this fully ten thousand people were gathered on the campus. In addition to the student body from all the departments of the University, the Catholic high schools and the pupils of the parochial schools were present. On the terrace, and surrounding the platform erected for the purpose were grouped the clergy, the Sisters and also the prominent laity. Preceded by a band from the Great Lakes and escorted by two companies of cadets from the Reserve Officers Training Corps of St. Ignatius and Loyola Academies, the Cardinals party entered the grounds at two-thirty. In the party were His Grace the Archbishop, Monsignor Hoban, the Reverend John B. Furay, S. J., President of the University, the Reverend George B. Shanley, S. J., Dean of the College of Arts, Edward Hines and Edward Cudahy, prominent Catholic laymen. As the band played "La Brabaconne" the cardinal was escorted to the platform. After the ovation, which lasted several minutes, had subsided. Father Furay conferred on the Cardinal the degree of LL. D. The substance of his address follows: "Your Eminence, Your Grace, Rt. Reverend Bishop, Very Reverend and Reverend Fathers, Ladies and Gentlemen: "This University bears a close relationship to the land our honored guest represents and is bound to its sturdy and generous people by ties of gratitude unknown it may be, to His Eminence, but ties that are very real and dear to us.
