2 St. Clare College Chartered Forty Years Ago

The First 25 Years j The present Cardinal Stritch College was char­ tered by the State of Wisconsin as a four-year degree-granting institution of higher education in 1937. Actually, the school's real founding pre­ ceded that date by five years, for - in 1932 - the former St. Clare Junior College was opened as a two-year center for teaching Sisters. Forty years ago, the Congregation of Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi decided to provide a full program of liberal arts education and professional preparation for its professed members who worked primarily at elementary, secondary, and special schools in Wisconsin and sev­ eral other states. Hence, St. Clare Col­ lege was organized and operated in facilities of the Sisters' Motherhouse complex, located on Milwaukee's far southeast side. First Presidents Named The four-year College's first presi­ dents were Mother M. Bartholomew Frederick (1937-42 and 1949-55) and Sister M. Ignatia Wiesner (1942-49). Lay women were first admitted to St . Clare's in 1939 when graduates of St. Mary's Academy (a high school con­ 'OLD' CAMPU S - (top) Loretta Halt housed the Col­ ducted at the same site) were accept­ lege' s original classrooms and olfices.

After that time, a few other lay and Sister Mary Aquin, president, are shown with women - including foreign students Sisters Claudine and Jessine and students. - were enrolled selectively.

(The Sisters of St. Francis are recognized among the " pioneers" in both fields.) In time, all necessary accreditations were received. Move Closes Era In 1962 - after a quarter century - the College was relocated from the " old campus" to its present site in Fox Point-Glendale. (To be continued.) - R.F.F.
