(Presented Oct. 28, 1879) May it please your eminence, We, the Rector and Senate of the Catholic University of Ireland, beg to express to you our heartfelt and most respectful congratulations on the honour which you have received in being raised by our Most Holy Father, Pope Leo xiii, to the dignity of Cardinal.

We have always looked back with gratitude and admiration to your labours, during the time you held office as first Rector of this University, and we feel assured that the plan for the higher education and the system of University government which you initiated and organized, will, centuries hence, be studied by all who may have to legislate for Catholic education, as among the most precious of the documents which they shall possess to inform and guide them.
