CHAPTER XXV 1833 Although Father Brute did not unite with his young associates in official ways, and appears to have remained outside the Council, he continued to advise them to the best of his opportunity. In a letter to Father Jamison, Sept. 8, 1832, he warns him about the forty thousand dollar debt, of which he had heard incidentally. He knows " nothing of the bank." He refers to Bishop Kenrick's starting the Philadelphia Seminary with three students in his own house, and thinks well of it. He seems to urge the establishment of a regular community as necessary for the endurance of the house. "Then 'in omnibus respice finem, ' you cannot remain a Seminary--you cannot an Ecclesiastical College without great difficulty, to be early anticipated by your timely measures of real association, not merely by living in the same house, or even under an external tie of civil association--though even this, in any form and number of associates, may be itself better for the safety of the property and better securing from State interference." He speaks also of the loss by the Romney mortgage given to F. Dubois for tuition of certain Virginia students, and on which the interest was not paid, etc., etc. Says that he declined to accept Father Purcell's proposal that he (Brute) should " resume care of the Seminarians ", which he had abandoned as being less useful to them under the circumstances. It would seem that he was for stricter Seminary life than the other gentlemen thought possible. Of almsgiving he says: "Alms is a blessing to everything ; and, for boys, to inspire charity is good education." Father Jamison, who had received from Egan and McGerry the entire College property transferred them by Dubois, declined Father Brute"'s advice on the debt
