KORNER* February 1, 1818. Paris, France Dear Sister: For a long time a very strong and definite attraction has drawn me to the teaching of the infidels. I even thought of going to China, but that is not practicable, as women cannot appear in public there. God has listened to my prayers and has let me find nearer home and at less financial cost the happiness for which I prayed. In Paris I met the Bishop of Louisiana, and it is in his diocese that I shall work to instruct the savages and found a house of the Society. I wish you •Barbara O. Korner is associate professor of theatre and dean of the School of Fine and Performing Arts at Seattle Pacific University. She holds the B.A. and M.A. degrees from Bob Jones University, Greenville, South Carolina, and a Ph.D. in comparative arts from Ohio University, Athens. 341 342 Missouri Historical Review would send me a supply of seed of all the kinds you have, labeled and marked with the time for sowing. The land is so fertile in the area where we shall live that the cattle are entirely hidden in the prairie grass.1 With these optimistic words, Mother Rose Philippine Duchesne, at the age of forty-eight, announced to her family her plans to leave for America and found a house of the Society of the Sacred Heart, the order she had served so diligently in post-revolutionary France. Duchesne, who was canonized Ste. Philippine in July 1988, represents the important role played by immigrant nuns in establishing the Roman Catholic church in nineteenth-century America. The vast majority of the over one hundred communities of sisters instituted in America during the nineteenth century had European or Canadian origins. Duchesne's life and activities, like those of other nuns, were circum­ scribed by the male-dominated Roman Catholic church, by the class- conscious European culture in which she grew up, by anti-Catholic feelings predominant among United States territories heavily influenced by Protestantism and by nineteenth-century attitudes that viewed the domestic and private roles as the most appropriate spheres of action for women. Yet, as a major figure in the development of American Catholicism and as a pioneer woman on the American frontier, Ste. Philippine Duchesne exemplifies the nineteenth-century woman who endured many hardships to make a difference

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 428 408 CS 510 026 AUTHOR Kramer, Michael W.; Berman, Julie E. TITLE Stories of Integration, Differentiation, and Fragmentation: One University's Culture. PUB DATE 1998-11-00 NOTE 31p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the National Communication Association (84th, New York, NY, November 21-24, 1998). PUB TYPE Reports Research (143) Speeches/Meeting Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Communication Research; Higher Education; *Organizational Climate; *Organizational Communication; *Story Telling; *Student Attitudes; Universities; Values ABSTRACT This study examined the culture of a university by analyzing its stories. Stories were collected over a period of five years at a large midwestern research university. Results suggest that a strong student subculture is frequently in conflict with the organization's dominant tradition-based culture. Stories illustrate the conflict between these two, as well as provide examples of unity between them. Other stories are ambiguous, not clearly espousing any values. In this way, the analysis suggests the importance of using all three perspectives on organizational culture defined by J. Martin (1992). The results seem applicable to studying other organizations as well, since stories of conflict and unity may provide insight into organizations' cultures. Contains 21 references and a figure illustrating the typology of organizational stories.
