  • Class of 1981 New Student Handbook
    ()tJ~ 0 ~ @ ~ - ....... ,,,...... ~ @ It could almost begin "once upon a time." The necessary ingredi ents are there--a dream, a castle, a sense of ever after. But the tale is not a fable; it is the amazing story of Brandeis University. For more than a century American Jews had nurtured a dream of creating a university which evoked their ancient heritage of scholarship and their gratitude to a nation which offered them haven and freedom . On October 11, 1948, the dream became a reality. Th e first Jewish-sponsored, nonsectarian university in the United States, named in memory of Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis , opened its doors on the campus of what had been Middlesex Un iversity . Startling in contrast t o the few buildings which originally dotted the 250-acre campus stood--perhaps as a portend to future greatness--a castle .. This imposing structure, designed after medieval architecture, had been part of Middlesex. Known as the Usen Castle, it is still a campus landmark, but is now surrounded by 70 buildings--some perhaps more impressive, but none so unique . Dr . Abram L. Sachar, historian and teacher , became Brandeis' first president and served in that capacity for twenty years at which time he became chancellor of the University. His recently published book, A Host At Last, chronicles the fantas tic growth of Brandeis--thanks to the steadfast commi t ment and magnificent generosity of the American J ewish community. Dr . Marver H. Bernstein, former dean of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princet on University, has been president since 1972.

  • A New Chapter Creating Connections Between Words, Hearts, and the Community
    SUMMER 2016 A New Chapter Creating connections between words, hearts, and the community Inside: Special Graduation Section – Celebrating the Class of 2016 S t. Mary’s girls love words. From the moment you walk in the doors of the school, girls of all ages are embracing words. They love to use them correctly, to play with them, and to learn new ones. I discovered this logophilia – the love of words, and word games – quickly when I first joined the St. Mary’s community in 2004. Their care for words extended from a note by a candy bowl to exquisitely written college essays. The success of Student Council campaigns seems to depend on the apt turn of phrase on the banners. And where else but at St. Mary’s does the Middle School Halloween costume winner owe her victory to creating the best visual pun? One English teacher stated this affection more boldly, “Our students leave St. Mary’s as the defenders of the English Language.” At the heart of academic success is learning to read. At St. Mary’s, we delight in teaching students of all ages the art of engaged reading. In the stories that follow, you will see how St. Mary’s is continuing its strong tradition in developing learners and creating more opportunities for our girls and for children across Memphis to discover their love of words. The Nathaniel C. Hughes Learning Center is our most recent accomplishment in fostering life-long learning. It is only fitting that Dr. Hughes’ name is honored through this center; an esteemed scholar and former headmaster, he raised St.
