John Henry Newman, Of The OraTory Of St. Philip Neri, Cardinal Deacon Of The Holy Roman Church Of The Deaconry Of St. George In Velabro, etc., etc., We, the members of the Oratory School Society, beg to offer to your Eminence the homage of our veneration and affection, and to congratulate you on your elevation by His Holiness Pope Leo XIII. to the rank of a Prince of the Church. Just twenty years ago you generously founded the Oratory School, and you have always cheerfully shared in the burden of toil and self-sacrifice which that act has entailed. We, on our part, gratefully acknowledge the benefits derived from the privilege of your personal influence and guidance after the wise and gentle way of St. Philip, and we ask you to accept these vestments in token of those filial sentiments of loyalty and devotion which we shall ever cherish towards you.
