We know these Belles of the Last Decade (B.O.L.D.) are finishing advanced degrees and launching careers, setting up B.O.L.D. first homes, and starting families. We also know they are proud and grateful to be Saint Mary’s alumnae and are inspired by their experience to give back to the College. Last academic year alone B.O.L.D. gave more than $90,000 to their alma mater. Today’s B.O.L.D. alumnae are tomorrow’s alumnae leaders. Saint Mary’s is grateful for the many ways they already fill this role through their philanthropy and engagement with the College. Congratulations, Class of 2014, and welcome to B.O.L.D.!

Courier | 1 Upon Reflection As I sat in the quiet room across from Sister Miriam Cooney ’51, CSC, a good friend of Sister Madeleva’s, I could hear the bustle of activity in an upstairs hallway of Saint Mary’s Convent. I saw a few birds darting about outside the window behind Sister Miriam. She is a quiet woman, frank and to-the-point, with a good sense of humor and an active mind. I imagine this professor emerita of mathematics is not unlike Sister Madeleva herself, whom Sister Miriam described to me as gracious, composed, and self-possessed. She related her fi rst encounter with Sister Madeleva as a new Saint Mary’s student. She remembers sitting rapt at Sister Madeleva’s feet, along with other students, while Sister Madeleva read her poetry aloud. She was in awe. After our interview, I walked quickly back to my offi ce in Haggar, closed the door, and sat down with Th e Four Last Th ings: Collected Poems by Sister M. Madeleva Wolff , CSC (Class of 1909). Th e voice of a woman I knew only through stories and quotes (her famous “We promise you discovery,” quote is etched into the side of the Welcome Center) spoke from the page. Her simple dedication struck me right away: To My Favorite Author Dear God, Herewith, a book do I inscribe and send To You Who are both its beginning and its end; A volume odd, Bound in some brief, allotted years, Written with love and tears; Fragments of which You are the perfect whole Book of my soul. Break, break the sealing clod And read me, God! In her introduction to the 1986 edition, Sister Eva Mary Hooker ’62, CSC, says, “Th e Four Last Th ings is many diff erent things as a book of poetry, but it is profoundly a book of the self in which we, the readers, as well as God can fi nd a complex person unveiling herself.” To be “read” by God, seems to me a fundamental wish of the human soul, and while I am no expert on theology, or on Sister Madeleva herself, I connected with her immediately through that simple line. I know I’m not alone. In this issue, fi fty years after her death, we attempt to discover a little of Sister Madeleva as a woman, an accomplished woman, yes—even a great woman. She was a renowned scholar and poet who inspired generations of Saint Mary’s women. Whether we knew Madeleva, the woman, or are inheritors of her passion to establish Saint Mary’s as a premier, Catholic, women’s college, her legacy touches each of us even now as we continue to live out her promise of discovery as women of faith, compassion, creativity, and intellectual vitality. Shannon Brewer Rooney ’03 is the editor of Courier. 2 | Summer 2014 AVENUE NEWS Hypatia Day Spirituality Monday Discussions What happens when faith and reason meet? What is the relationship between spiritual traditions and the exercise of reason in an academic discipline or a profession? Th roughout the spring semester, Saint Mary’s faculty and students joined together for Spirituality Mondays to discuss these questions. “Coming into the [discussion series] I feel that most students clearly connect their personal values to their faith,” explains Jill Vihtelic, business professor and chair of the Department of Global Studies. “Once students start to see that they cannot separate their work lives from their personal lives and be a person of integrity, I believe that they begin to see the intersection between faith and business as vast and all encompassing.” Vihtelic was one of several professors who spoke at Spirituality Monday events. Topics from professors and students alike included spirituality and health in aging populations and sacramentality of nature poetry. In March dozens of middle school girls shadowed Saint Mary’s Henry V math, computer science, chemistry, engineering, and biology majors for Hypatia Day. Hypatia was a female mathematician at a time in Greek history when girls weren’t allowed to be educated. She symbolizes the continuing struggle to combat industry stereotypes. Hypatia Day is unique to Saint Mary’s College. In 1991 Sister Miriam Cooney ’51, CSC, professor emerita of math- ematics, started the annual program to encourage young girls to follow careers in the STEM fi elds (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).
