Brother Aidan's Extracts
TABLEAU OF HONOR
"By a little reflection you may discover that here is em bodied in delicate abridgment the discipline of Notre Dame. Kindness and love are the elements they wish to bring to bear most prominently in the government, feeling that
'A talisman sent down from heaven,
A golden link to mortals flung
They cannot slight a boon thus given.'
This impels them to act on the nobler feelings of the heart in preference to emitting the degrading sentiment of fear of severe punishments. Under this disciplinary regimen young gentlemen are brought to feel that it is strictly incumbent upon them to support the true dignity of manhood . . . ."
