A promotional prospectus for the Capuchin Franciscan College in Rochestown, County Cork. The decorated cover panel features a central landscape of the friary grounds surrounded by Celtic knotwork, four photographic vignettes of student life (chapel, classroom, athletics, and group portrait), and the traditional Gaelic script motto, ‘Do chum Glóire Dé agus Onóra na h-Éireann’. The text panels detail the institution’s operations, outlining its picturesque location near Cork Harbour, its mission to train young students for the priesthood, and an expansive curriculum including classical languages, mathematics, and Swedish Drill. The text highlights a strict institutional emphasis on the Irish language featuring an annual Special Medal, sets the terminal pension at £12 per term, and provides admissions criteria requiring a parish priest’s testimonial.
