| QUADRANGLE, MAYNOOTH UNIVERSITY.- Architect Pugin undertook a labor of love, but none the less a heavy task, when he planned, and had constructed under his able supervision, the imposing quadrangular array of edifices that have supplanted, within the last half century, the old, almost ramshackle, buildings that accommodated at Maynooth the Catholic ecclesiastical students of an earlier time. Were Charles Lever to see the Maynooth College of today, he would be unable to recognize in the thoroughly equipped University, furnished with every modern requirement of a great institution of learning, the antiquated series of structures, designated the Royal College of St. Patrick, to which his novels contain allusions. |
