For 20 years before his appointment as the representative of the United States at the court of Denmark. Dr. Egan was occupied as a professor of literature, and during that period he found time to publish several important works on literary criticism which are held In high esteem by university men. He Is also well known as a novelist, but his claims to literary distinction rest most on the verse which he has written. He has published several volumes and Richard Watson Gilder placed him among the three best sonneteers In English. Because of the ' literary e quality of hla work and most of all bis themes are wholesome and elevating the trustees of the University of Notre Dame have selected Dr. Egan as the recipient of the Laetare medal this year. The medal takes its name from the title given the fourth Sunday of Lent, tbe day when the announcement of the award Is always made. It corresponds to the decoration of the Bolden Rose, which Is conferred by the pope every year on some member of the nobility of Europe. The medal Is a large disk of pure gold, richly enameled, and bearing In relief some design suited to the profession of the recipient. A motto In Latin, Truth Is mighty and shall prevail, appears In black enamel surrounding the design. Accompanying the medal la an address of award painted on allk by some artist of renown. The Laetare medal waa Arst given In 1883. It waa then conferred on the bo-caus- historian, John Gilmary Shea. In succession the following were decorated: Patrick J. Keeley, architect; Eliza Allen Starr, art critic; Gen. John Newton, civil engineer; Patrick V. Hickey, editor; Anna Hanson Dorsey, author; William J. Onahan, publicist; Maj. Henry F. Brownaon, soldier and scholar; Patrick Donahue, editor and philanthropist; Augustin Daly, theatrical manager; Anna T. Salller, author; Gen. William F. Rosecrana, soldier; Thomas Addis Emmett, physician ; Timothy E. Howard, jurist ; John A. Creighton, philanthropist; William Bourke Cockran, lawyer and statesman; John B. Murphy, surgeon; Thomas H. Fitzpatrick, merchant and Katherine Eleanor philanthropist ; Conway, author and editor; Francis Quinlan, surgeon; James C. Monaghan, publicist and educator; Christina Frances Tiernan, author. Although the name of tbe recipient and the reasons for the award ars made public on Laetare Si nday, l presentation of the medal does not take place until some weeks latei at a time when dignitaries of ths Catholic church and men eminent In the same line of work aa the recipient can be brought together. In the case of Dr. Egan he will probably not be formally decorated with the medal until (he latter part of May or June. Maurice Francis Egan was born In Philadelphia In 1852. He waa graduated from La Salle college In that city In 1873. lie received the degree ol master of arts from the University ol Notre Dame In 187S and of LL.D. from Georgetown university In 1879.
