  • ALL HALLOWS COLLEGE, DUBLIN Records, 1842-1877 Reels M871-874
    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT ALL HALLOWS COLLEGE, DUBLIN Records, 1842-1877 Reels M871-874 All Hallows College Gracepark Road Dublin 9 IRELAND National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1974 HISTORICAL NOTE All Hallows College was the first modern foundation in Ireland set up to train priests for work in foreign missions. John Hand (1807-1846) attended St Patrick’s College, Maynooth, and was ordained a priest in 1835. He had a strong interest in the Association for the Propaganda of the Faith, which was founded in 1838, and he conceived the idea of a college in which priests would be trained to serve the Irish peoples in English-speaking countries other than Ireland. In February 1842 the Holy See gave its blessing to the project and All Hallows College was formally opened in November 1842. It was housed in a mansion in Drumcoda in Dublin. The early presidents of the College were: Rev. John Hand 1842-1846 Dr David Moriarty 1846-1854 Dr Bartholomew Woodlock 1854-1861 Rev. Thomas Bennett 1861-1866 Dr William Fortune 1866-1892 The College grew rapidly. The number of students rose from one in 1842 to 120 in 1846. By 1860 there were over 200 students. In its first 40 years, the College sent over 1000 missionaries to English-speaking countries. The main destinations were the United States of America (420), Australia and New Zealand (250), Britain (190), Canada (60), the West Indies and Argentine (49), India (30) and South Africa (28). Since 1892 All Hallows College has been under the direction of the Vincentians.

    University of Vienna International Report 2012 University of Vienna International Report 2012 2 International Report Table of contents 3 Preface 4 e Internationalisation Strategy of the University of Vienna 8 Facts and Figures 20 International Cooperation and Networks 26 University Partnerships outside Europe 28 Partner Universities for Erasmus Student Mobility 30 Cooperation with North America 36 20 years of ERASMUS at the University of Vienna 44 e University of Vienna Summer Schools 3 Preface Heinz Faßmann, Vice Rector for Human Resources Development and International Relations The University of Vienna is the central and most important actor in the internationalisation of the tertiary sector in Austria. This is related to the size of the university, its wide range of subjects, the attractive location and the active pursuit of the internationalisation strategy. Roughly one quarter of students are non-Austrians, almost 1,000 Erasmus students are welcomed and supported at the university each year. Conversely, the university assists the mobility of around 1,000 outgoing students. The University of Vienna accounts for roughly 25% of all outgoing Austrian Erasmus students. In addition, the mobility of over 150 outgoing and over 150 incoming students is admi nis tered within the university’s Non-EU Student Exchange Programme, in which the university also invests considerable funds itself in order to cultivate and develop links with the university world outside the EU. The internationalisation of universities is to be under stood as a multi- level process covering ever broader areas of univer sity activities. One third of scientific staff comes from abroad (two thirds of them from the EU), the percentage of newly appointed professors from abroad is 75%.

  • What Is Social Enterprise?
    ADDING VALUE DELIVERING CHANGE The Role of Social Enterprise in National Recovery Report of the Social Enterprise Task Force An Initiative of Clann Credo and Dublin Employment Pact www.clanncredo.ie www.dublinpact.ie Foreword Social enterprise has a strong and growing presence in Ireland, building on deep roots of community organisation, self-help and a native enthusiasm for enterprise. This spirit has created formidable and unique organisations such as the GAA, the credit union movement, the Irish Countrywomen’s Association (ICA), Muintir na Tíre, the agricultural co-ops, local development and enterprise organisations, along with a wide range of voluntary and charitable groups, from Rehab to local community-owned initiatives. Despite this, the sector remains relatively under-developed in Ireland and has not grown to anything like the levels enjoyed by EU and global counterparts. We estimate that growth here has only kept pace with inflation over the last 14 years. Social Enterprise needs to grow and put down deeper roots. The social enterprise sector needs to act as one and state its case publicly, in order to create a more favourable public and policy environment that will ensure that it realises its true potential. For these reasons, Clann Credo – the Social Investment Fund and Dublin Employment Pact, took the initiative last year to bring people together to focus specifically on how to promote the concept and the common interests of the sector. The result was the Social Enterprise Task Force (SETF) which set itself the mission of developing a Manifesto that would identify the practical ways in which national and local policy could create a more supportive and receptive framework for social enterprise.

Glass, bishop of Salt Lake City, Utah, from 1915 until 1926, was the last Vincentian to be appointed a bishop in the continen- tal United States and the first since 1868. "How or why a relatively obscure pastor in Los Angeles was given that post is not clear."' If asked how the appointment came about, older Vincentians usually answer "through the influence of the Dohenys."2 It is a natural re- sponse, given Glass's close friendship with the oil baron and his wife. That very closeness, however, presents a difficulty. It is unlikely that Glass or his friends would deliberately seek a post that would remove him from the fleshpots of Chester Place (the Doheny residence in Los Angeles) and exile him to a remote diocese that was geographically the most extensive in the United States and that had a small Catholic population.

Poverty Reduction - A Vincentian Initiative in Higher Education: The All Hallows Experience BY DORRIEBALFE, O.P., MA Director, Social Justice and Public Policy Program AND JOHN JOESPRING, MA, DIP.TH. Vice President, A11 Hallows College Introduction The purpose of this article is to reflect on the experience of addressing poverty reduction in a higher educational environment under a Vincentian administration. All Hallows College, situated in North City Dublin, is such a college. Founded in 1842, the College has been under Vincentian adminis- tration since 1892. Though not Vincentians, both authors of this article have been members of the staff at All Hallows for the past eighteen years. It is in that context that we have experienced the Vincentian charism in action. Our approach here is to set the historical context out of which the present commitment to poverty reduction has grown, to track key moments of change in the past and to describe how a new postgraduate program in Social Justice and Public Policy is addressing such a key moment at present.
