  • " a Great and Lasting Beginning": Bishop John Mcmullen's
    22 Catholic Education/June 2005 ARTICLES “A GREAT AND LASTING BEGINNING”: BISHOP JOHN MCMULLEN’S EDUCATIONAL VISION AND THE FOUNDING OF ST. AMBROSE UNIVERSITY GEORGE W. MCDANIEL St. Ambrose University Catholic education surfaces as a focus and concern in every age of the U.S. Catholic experience. This article examines the struggles in one, small Midwestern diocese surrounding the establishment and advancement of Catholic education. Personal rivalries, relationship with Rome, local politics, finances, responding to broader social challenges, and the leadership of cler- gy were prominent themes then, as they are now. Numerous historical insights detailed here help to explain the abiding liberal character of Catholicism in the Midwestern United States. n the spring of 1882, Bishop John McMullen, who had been in the new IDiocese of Davenport for about 6 months, met with Father Henry Cosgrove, the pastor of St. Marguerite’s (later Sacred Heart) Cathedral. “Where shall we find a place to give a beginning to a college?” McMullen asked. Cosgrove’s response was immediate: “Bishop, I will give you two rooms in my school building.” “All right,” McMullen said, “let us start at once” (The Davenport Democrat, 1904; Farrell, 1982, p. iii; McGovern, 1888, p. 256; Schmidt, 1981, p. 111). McMullen’s desire to found a university was not as impetuous as it may have seemed. Like many American Catholic leaders in the 19th century, McMullen viewed education as a way for a growing immigrant Catholic population to advance in their new country. Catholic education would also serve as a bulwark against the encroachment of Protestant ideas that formed the foundation of public education in the United States.

She Tweeted: “Me & @BrandonVMaxwell crying w BOB WILSON’s portraits. That’s me on the wall!” Gaga later added on LittleMonsters.com: “I went to the Louvre today and saw the portraits Bob Wilson made of me. It was such a special moment. “I wore archive Gianni [Versace] and wore my hair in metal- lic braids. It was a day I’ll never forget.” The 27-year-old singer looked particularly striking in the outfit she wore for the visit, which included a long silver braided wig, metallic chequered catsuit and huge black platform shoes. Robert’s exhibition at the Louvre is titled ‘Living Rooms’ and features a fifty minute video of Gaga posing as different works of art, including ‘The Death of Marat’ by Jacques-Louis David and ‘Head of St. John the Baptist’ by Andrea Solario. Speaking of working with the ‘Born This Way’ star to create the portraits, Bob has said: “She’s sort of serious. Not your ordinary pop star. “She would look at the image and after a while she would look at her face in a mirror and something happened, and I would shoot her... There’s a nobility to her. She’s a real princess.” Kerry Washington Anne feels ‘blessed’ Hathaway to be expecting is fine after her holiday injury first child he ‘Les Miserables’ actress was pictured apparently getting into difficulty in a strong rip current close to the beach on the Hawaiian island of Oahu earlier Tthis month but she insists her accident wasn’t as bad as it looked.

During this time three Vincentians served as provincial directors: Francis Burlando, 1853-1873; Felix Guidry, 1873-1877; and Alexis Mandine, 1877-1892. Each ofthem guided, supported, made recommendations, and directed the spiritual journey of the prov­ ince. Nevertheless, it was Mother Euphemia who bore the responsi­ bility for the province, which now extended from New England to California. Her effectiveness in rebuilding, unifying, deepening roots, expanding services and coping with social problems influenced the direction taken by the Community well into the twentieth century. The fIrst problems to be faced were the direct results of the war: a multitude of sick and disabled, widows and orphans, unemployed and homeless - particularly in the South, which lacked resources to help them; a bitter regionalist spirit which· threatened to infJItrate even the Community; and the challenge to adapt, to meet crises with new services in new locales.
