Correspondence regarding the establishment of an Institute of Theology and Philosophy on Jesuit premises at Milltown Park but ‘controlled and operated by those Orders who wish to take part in it’. Archbishop learns of plans from newspapers. He settles down to support the Milltown case for full Pontifical University recognition against opposition from Maynooth. The Nuncio is briefed by the Archbishop. The Jesuit Generalate and the Sacred Congregation for Catholic Education become involved. The Archbishop complains he had never been informed by the Cardinal (Conway) or any Bishop regarding a Maynooth objection and the entire negotiations have been cloaked in a very successful secrecy. He will do everything he can for the Society.
