    COLLEGE REPORT 2017-18 “I will give thanks to the Lord, with my whole heart. I will tell of, all Your wonderful deeds.” Ps 9:1 St. Mary’s College has been, the torch bearer of knowledge for 72 years, imparting education and life skills, to thousands of women, from all over Kerala, starting as the pioneering first grade women’s College, of Thrissur district in 1946. Today when we celebrate our College day, I am sure our patroness Mother Mary, with her son Jesus, is closely watching each and every activity going on here, and thus helping us to aspire for greater things in life. The rich tradition that she is proud of, is to a great extent the product of the dedicated service, of the staff of this institution. But every year she is a sad witness to the retirement of her staff who have been a part and parcel of this College for many years. This year, we are bidding farewell to our beloved herbarium keeper Smt. Valsa Johnson, who rendered 32 years of dedicated and fully committed service to the institution. She is of a very calm personality who always puts her heart and soul into her work to attain perfection. She lives a life close to God and also strives to keep everyone around her, taste the love of god. Her retirement is going to be a great lose to our institution. I wish her a peaceful, healthy and happy retired life. Now, to the activities and achievements of our college. I am so proud to announce that St.
