Excerpt from United States Catholic Historical Society, Vol. 8: Historical Records and Studies As we have seen, the essential purpose of the Society of St. Sulpice from the beginning was the education of the secular clergy, and the management of clerical seminaries. This was M. Olier's conception o'f the Society; this aim had been constantly kept in view during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and this was the chief end, as M. Emery often emphasized in his letters, for which he sent his Sulpician colony to the United States. We have seen how this scheme originated, how it was favored, nay almost dictated by a variety of circumstances in France and in the United States. We have accompanied the Sulpicians on their voyage to Baltimore, seen them land, and with prompt action establish themselves on the very spot which has been the scene of their devoted labors to this day. We have seen M. Emery's original colony, increased in numbers by new arrivals, we have seen most of these accessions scat tered northward and westward to work as missionaries in the Lord's vineyard. But though necessity knows no law, and though M. Emery as a practical man was ready to give way to necessity, still he always clung with unwavering firmness to his original plan and to the ideals of his Society.
