Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The French Refugee Trappists in the United States: Read Before the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia, on February 23, 1886
Students are proverbial for their jolly times. Place them where you will, they will try to enjoy themselves. Situated as were the searchers after lore at Pigeon Hills, they no doubt held high carnival. Short study hours and long sleeping hours, few prayers and many meals, hunting, fishing, games and gymnastics, is the programme that naturally suggests itself to one's mind in trying to picture their probable daily life.
