Our Presidents

to all the Alumnae • • •

Doesn't it make you feel proud to watch the growth of our Emmanuel? For many years there was one building which erved many purpo es; then came Alumnae Hall, Marian Hall, and now we anticipate the building of a residence hall as well as the addition of a wing to the Admini tration Building to provide the isters with much-needed living space. Our Alumnae Association ha kept pace with the growth of the College, as evidenced by the successful introduction of an Alumnae Fund, the institution of an Alumnae Council and an up-to-date revision of our Constitution. It was wonderful indeed, to watch the progress of the College and the Alumnae As ociation, but it has been mo t inspiring to me to note the increa e of spirit that has accompanied this physical development. M any colleges have seen the spiritual ties that bind students and graduates weaken in direct proportion to their enlarged size. Here at Emmanuel the devotion of her daughters becomes greater, truer, and firmer with each forward step. I approach the next two years omewhat overwhelmed at the size of the job I have undertaken, but rea sured by the cooperation I have received from the isters at the College, your officers, and your Board of M anagement. We will all do every­ thing we can do to promote the welfare of the College and the Alumnae Association, but what we need most is your support and a continuation of your interest. Thank you for your confidence in us; we will do our best to live up to the high standards set by those who have preceded us in these offices. Audrey Swendeman Gaquin, '39

Sister Superior Alice Gertrude has always followed the "open door" policy.

Whether you are in touch with Emmanuel through alumnae meetings and social functions or whether, becau e of di tance or circumstances, you have lost contact with your Alma Mater, I feel that you will welcome thi number of the Alumnae Magazine, which the is tel' have prepared to bring you up-to-the-minute news of the College. Truly, I know that all that concern Emmanuel is of vital intere t to you. You have proved your interest in her development by your generous upport of our Building Fund. What has been done and what remains to be done for the "Emmanuel of Tomorrow" could not have been accomplished and cannot be continued without your cooperation. A college can become only as great a its alumnae. In countless ways you contribute to this greatnes . Your financial support aids immensely in the material O"rowth of the College, but of even greater alue are the intangible things-the spirit of loyalty to Emmanuel ideal, the devotedne to your vocation, fidelity to your faith. These together with your prayers are the spiritual assets that you bring to the real and lasting success of Emmanuel College. For all, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I a ure you of the gratitude, love, and prayerful remembrance of all the Emmanuel iter. May God, our Emmanuel, bless you and all your dear one and may He reward you with the riches of His grace, His peace, and His love on His coming Birthday and throughout the New Year. Sister Alice Gertrude, S.N.D.

A new project was launched under the slogan: world for any student, with its attractive classrooms and The Emmanuel of Tomorrow, and plan were formu­ lounges, spacious gymnasium, and comfortable residence lated to help rai e the money that would be necessary to rooms on the top floor. That is, the building became a finance a building program that would include a cience reality.

Emmanuel is our reply to the urgent need for a more catholic intellectual life one that embraces in its interest and its sympatlUes the whole field of human history and culture, not by heresay or through a sheer sen e of duty, but through that living intimacy which is the fruit of toll, and to which language is the key. You, of course, are aware of the interest our Holy Father takes in Rus ian studies. After World War II he opened in Rome the Pon tifical College for the training of prie ts in th e Byzan­ tine rite, and also the Russian Vatican Press which pro­ du ce a tream of publications of a religiou character: New Testament, catechisms, prayer book, live of the saint , and di cussions on various themes. The Ru­ sian Center at Fordham, established also in obedience to th e Holy Father's wish, distributes the e publication as well as other, uch as th e recent new Ru ian version of the autobiography of Saint Th'rf!se . The American Protestant Bible ociety has just i sued a Russian trans­ lation of the whole Bible. Our Holy Father i intere ted likewise in Russian studies among Sisters against the day when Christian education and charitable services may be allowed to flourish again berund the Iron Curtain. In the light of these considerations, it is not difficult to understand why Emmanuel initiated a new field of studi es in th e year 1951, to which it gave la t spring the name of lavic Department.

The piece de n~ istance of my entire stay at Trinity was, however, the celebration of the Golden Jubi­ lee of the Apostolic Delegate to the United tates in Trinity's chapel-a singular honor for the College and a piritual experience that, fi guratively speaking, brought one next door to heaven.

There have, indeed, been many changes. Two building have been added to the once one; the faculty has grown to include ninety members ; the student body now numbers almost seven hundred. But has the student life itself changed? Certainly the plant and enrollment have grown rapidly. M ore courses are offered, more classroom are used, more faculty are concerned with students' needs. The externals of student li fe have changed in­ deed, while we like to feel, and do sincerely beli eve, that the vibrant, enthu iastic, a nd spirited personality of the stud nt body as a group is changeless now as it has always been. Perhaps th e changes in tudent life that have occurred at Emmanuel and in uni ersitie across the countr have come indirectl from a realization of our society that it yo uth mu t grow up, must be aive n respon ibility, must be­ Rose iarie Connor, Shirley Samp on, Dorothy Flint, come ocial-co nsciou at an earl age, if it i to co mprehend Mary Frances Downey, Kathleen Meaney, B arbara Di­ the trust th at will be its inheritance in a few years.

They sprouted on campu e pontaneou I , being received enthu ia ti cally in ome quarters, hesitatingly in other, while in the minds of a few, they were a threat to th e very fo undations of traditional col­ lege li fe . But having bee n tried and developed, the theory of student government has ettled do, n to a workable and vital outlet for tudent activity. In th e beginning, the tu­ dent government system wa a faculty-student cooperative plan concerning itself principally with problems of di ci­ pline. But th e tudent government plan ha broadened and ha become more creative. It is increasingly concerned with the ocial, the piritual, and e pecially the intellectual life of th e tudent body-not merely with c!i cipline and con­ trol. tuden t government is no longer tmited to a seriou and ecret co uncil of tudent leaders, met to di cuss in­ fraction of campus rules. It organi zes tudent-faculty panel di scu ion groups, inter-college workshops; it regu­ late club meeting, ocial committees; it i the coordina­ tor of all student activity. Carol Kirby at the Stations, Eileen Hague, Ann MacNeil, and Elizabeth McCarthy make a visit to the lUa,ri.an Hall Chapel.

At Emmanuel, the Student Government Association, in cooperation with the ational Student Association, has broadened to include this new concept which encourages students to assume more responsibility spiritually, academically, and ocially. Some graduates may have recollections of N.S,A, as a rumored "R ed organiza­ tion." ince 1946, the Association has been reorganized , Many bishops, including Archbishop Cushing, encouraO'e Catholi c student to participate with other colleges in this Association, Gertrude Creedon, a member of the Alumnae Association, was one of Emamnuel'sfirst representatives to the ational Convention, which, for ten years, has stressed the importance of a greater understanding between students and faculty. Some see in these new theories the dan O'e r that student will be encouraO'ed to go beyond the li mit of their experi ence by attempting to participate in college or university policy-making. This should not necessarily be true, Students given responsibility should attain a certain maturity which wi ll, in turn, enable them to appreci ate their li mited experi ence.

Perhap the most important effect of the new concept of greater student responsibility has been a growth of student interest in the intellectual life on campus. Professors have been forever decrying intellectual apathy among their tudents. But students, as a cooperative aroup, have a particular psychology-a psychology which p revents the student from admitting that he did anything but cram for examinations; ond if he had the energy to write a term paper before "the night before," heaven forbid that he should admit typing it. However, when the cr y of intellectual apathy comes not onl y from the professor, but from within the student body itself, nothing is guite so effective in d troying this group psychology. The student ceases to be anti-intellectual, nor does he become pseud o-intellectual ; he i honest with himself. Last year the Emmanuel Student Government Association established a se ries of student-faculty panels to di scuss ways of improving intellectual life on campus. These panel di cussions were held during the as embly periods with the entire student body present. Students and faculty were frank. They discussed the problems of the College with the greatest honesty. Joyce Power a.nd Lauretta Moore teach French to pupils at Notre Dame Academy, Roxbury. The new concept of tudent re pon ibil­ ity has made the tudents more ocial-con­ sciou too. Extracurricular activities have been directed toward participation in com­ munity life. Every Tue day, eighteen tu­ dents teach Christi an Doctrine to 135 public chool children at Our Lady of the Angel Parish in Roxbury. Many girl have Girl co ut and Brownie troop, and almo t fifty percent of la t year cla acti vely engaged in pari h work.

These external changes in student life-these newly assumed responsibilities­ will, perhaps, prepare the students to accept further responsibilities beyond college in piritual, cultural, and material fie lds.
