Father Colman presents the story in nine chapters. The first three chapters tell of the movement of the Benedictines from Europe to Pennsylvania and then to Minnesota. The later chapters are devoted to the successive administrations of St. John's six. abbots.
Father Oolman uses the archival method of presenting the material, research for which was done in twenty-one American and European abbeys. The author allows the contemporaries of whom ' he is writing tell their own story by inserting their writings into the chronicle.
The book becomes more than mere history of an abbey. As pioneer or frontier history it is the story of the immigrant people who transformed the Northwest from a wild, Indian-inhabited forest into a cultured civilization.
The effort of St. John's priest-author promises, too, to be a landmark in American church history. Father Oolman's method of contemporary documenting sheds important light on personages and situations which are an integral part of the history of the Church and her luminaries in America.
Two banquets will be held next week at the 400 Club. The University Men's Chorus will dine together on Monday, May 21, followed by the University Band on Thursday, May 24.
