BOSTON, MASS. - OCTOBER 1,1935 NUMBER 1

Mary Sheehan Is New President

MARY T. SHEEHAN

The recent election of Mary r. Sheehan, '29, t o the office of Presi­dent of the Alumnae Association of Emmanuel College has met with widespread ap,proval.

Prominent in undergraduate days in the affairs of the class of '29, Miss Sheehan established then a reputation for leadership and scholarship which she has main­tained ever since. She held the office of Class Trea surer in her Sophomore year, and in her Senior Year was electecl President of the Dramatic Club, Assistant Editor of the Epilogue, and Ivy Orat or.

After receiving her degjree in June, 1929, Miss Sheehan entered the Katherine Gibbs Secretarial School where she won highest hon. ors in the intensive course for col­lege graduates. Since the com­pletion of her studies she has been secretary to Doctor P. F. Kelleher of Cambridge.

In Alumnae circles Mary Shee­han has been noted for distinguish­ed devotion and service to Em­manuel. Her quiet, dependable work on numerous committees was rewarded in 1933 by her erection to the office of Corresponding ,sec­retary of the Association, a position to which she gave her time and effort unsparingly. Her most recent accomplishment for the Alumnae was her intelligent mana,gement of the public lecture by Monsignor Fulton J. Sheen last May. The outstanding success of that event made Miss Sheehan the leading candidate for the presidency of the Association in the June elections.

Keenly interested in the great movement of 'Catholic Action, she has identified herself with it in many fields. As secretary of the Boston Unit of the Campion Pro,p­aganda Committee, she has aided in the promotion of The Catholic Worker s ince it s establishment

Emmanuel Opens Social Service School

Evidence of the progressiv'e poIicies of the administrators of the college is seen this year in the opening of the E:mmanuel College School of Social Work. The Alum­nae Association views with satis­faction this definite answer to the increasing demand for trained col­lege women to meet the challenge of the great social changes of our times.

The School of Social Work wiIl present a standard curriculum in a four-year course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science.

Continued on page four

here last year. As a member of the Board of Directors of the Ju­nior Philomatheia Club, she has been actt\re in the social life and philanthr'opic work of that society.

To these varied interests Miss Sheehan now adds 1Jhe exaating duties of President of the Em­manuel College Alumnae Associa­tion, an organization of more than a thousand members. In her speech of acceptance in June she express­ed her appreciation of the honor paid to her by her sister alumnae and pledged to the Association and to the college all the time and thought which the duties of the office demand. Assur.ed by her past record of an inteiligent, pro­gressive administration, the Alum­nae Association looks forward with anticipation to her tenm of office.

Emmanuel Graduates Win Higher Degrees

Higher degrees were conferred on thirteen members of the Alum­nae Association by three Boston in­stitutions in June. At Boston Uni­versi'ty, College of Liberal Arts, the degree of Master of Arts in English was granted to Helen Glynn, '34, who offered as her thesis "The Humor in the Plays of Sir James M. Barrie", and to Blanche Kane, '33, who presented "Shakespeare's Heroine - Lady IMacBeth". Madeleine O'Brien, '30, and Dorothy Hatch, '33, received the M. A. degree in Chemistry. Miss O'Brien's thesis was entitled, "The Physical Chemistry of En­zyme Action". Miss Hatch wrote on "The Preparation of the Methy­lene Dimagnesium Dialdehide".

Geraldine Soles, '33, won the M. A. degree in History, offering "The Problem IMethod of Teaohing His­tory in the Twelfth Grade". At the School of Education, Elizabeth Beahan, '34, writing on "Teaching Literature With Visual Aid", was awarded the degree of Master of Education.

Boston College conferred the de­gre·e of M. A. on five Emmanuel alumnae, two in History and three in English: Marie Kelly, '32, "The Ordinance Powers of the Presi­dent"; Phyllis O'Connell, 29, "Dis­raeli and His Influence on Foreign Affairs"; Dorothy Dunigan, '34, "A Revaluation of Eighteenth Ce:l -

GOD WITH US

Particularly pertinent to the solution of the pro­blems of our day is an understanding of the doctrine of the Mystical Body of Christ. St. Paul has com­pared the relation ,between Christ and us to the rela­.tion between the head and members of a physical ibody, hence it is termed the "Mystica1 Body" of which 'Christ is the Head and we the members. Upon us graduates of Emmanuel consciousness of this doc­trine and its ramifications imposes a special respon­sibility, for the greater the capacity to participate in this union with Christ the greater the obligation to intensify participation in it. Moreover, this inter­course means that as long as we are free from mor­tal sin, the only impediment to the union, every thought and every deed of ours is a thought and deed of Jesus Christ. It is, therefore, incumbent upon us to be at one with the mind and action of the Church. This implies the necessity of keeping in­formed of the pronouncements of the Holy Father on social and economic as well as doctrinal and liturgical questions and of maintaining a Catholic attitude in regard to every phase of our lives.

From such groups as ours must come the 1eaders of the lay movement which the Holy Father has des­ignated 'Catholic Action. Alumnae, impelled by this

- realization to continue and supplement their educa­tion by the intelligent use of Catholic books and periodicals, would not only discharge their personal duty but would present to the world the best answer to the question, "Why a Catholic College? "

Besides the direct relation between the individual and Christ, the union of the Mystical Body causes a special interrelation between the members. All human beings who are member s of Jesus Christ are members of each other. Leaving aside the obliga ­tion of love f or every creature which this fact places upon us and applying it solely to our Alumnae As­sociation, we realize that because of it the ties which bind us together are much stronger than that ephem­eral thing called colle'ge spirit. Thus, loyalty to the : Association means loyalty to oneself and to Christ, and active interest means corporate action with Our Lord in a work that is especially dear to Him since its ulti n:ate aim is the assisting of the college in furthering Catholic education. Enterprises which of themselves are purely .social or financial become spiritualized, and even the payment of dues wins a reward in Heaven.

May this little reminder of facts which have possi­bly been forgotten bring full cooperation to the A ssociation from every Alumna, old and new. With it goes the pledge that t he newly-elected Board of Management wiII will ingly expend every bit of time, thought, and effor t necessary to make its admini3-t ration beneficial to all.

Mary T. Sheehan, President.

FROM THE FACULTY

Sincerely yours, Sister Agnes Cecilia, S. N. D.

Dear Editor:

You were kind to give me an oppor tunity t o greet the members of the Emmanuel College Alumnae As­sociation through your pages. Let me take the priv­ilege first of greeting the News itself, which is to say: The Officers and the Board of Management eyf the Alumnae Association who have made its ex­istence possible, and the Editorial Staff of the News, who have made it a reality.

From that first day of pion eering in 1919, when E~ ,manuel opened its doors t o the Pioneer Class , Valiant '23, "first" this and "first" that have been the order of my day. Far from finding it monoton­ous I experience in all this pioneering something adv·enturous and delightful. It is, then, a joy for me to greet this new E mmanuel activity, the News, and to assure it of the same affectionate interest I have given to every new venture at Emmanuel. Responsibility for every new Editorial Staff is a weight, establishing traditions a grave affair. Let the welcome accorded to this first edition of the News, and the assurance of its futUre triumph hearten you, dear Editors. I pray God t o bless your work, and by that blessing to reward the founders of that work. To the first edition of the Emmanuel News I say: "Vivat! Floreat! Crescat!

Through the courtesy of the Editor of the News I am privileged to greet you, dear Members of the Alumnae Association. If I could but meet each of you leisurely, what a ple;lsure for me that would be ! Time passes and I find myself noting for some of you spaces between visits to the college. I~ most cases that means you are busy with the t asks God has ass igned to you. Please know that in them all I have an abid ing interest, that ever y day I recom­mend you and your problems to our Immaculate Mothe.r of Goon Counsel, t hat every day I beg our E .rmanuel, "God with Us", to be truly with you in all you think, or say, or do.

Affectionately, you:'S, Sister Helen Made:eine, Dean

LETTERS Dear Alumna:

Several of our me :r. bers attended the Summer School of Catholic Action held at Boston College in August under the auspices of the Sodality, and after studying and discussing the various projects mentioned there, we decided that many of the Alumnae might be in­terested in the study-group phase of Catholic Action.

The Study club is a small group of individuals meeting together Lo study a special subject cooperative­ly by their own efforts for their own deeper knowledge. It does not aim at public speaking a s an evi­dence guild does. It does not .g.ain its information from a speaker as in the lecture series or salon groups. It means active participa­tion of each member in the prepar_ ation, discussion, and presentation ' of a subject in which the group members have a strong mutual in­terest.

Group members.hip is generally limited to from eight to fifteen, and is deter rr. ined by similarity of tastes and in terests. Meetings of an hour held once a week over a period of eight weeks give ample time for a study program and are not too long nor too infrequent to cause loss of interest. . A modera­tor is not necessary. In many cases a priest is invited to "sit in" and straighten out the situation if it becomes involved, but it is prefer­able to put the leadership directly into the hands of the member~. Many of these details are arbitrary and may be altered according to the needs of the group.

Subjects are so varied that we can mention here only a few : Re­ligious questions, such as The Ex­istence of God, The Liturgy, The ,Mass ; Social questions, such as Family Relationships, Education, Charities and Relief, The State ~ and the Individual; Cultural studies, such as C'I tho1ic Liter ature, Cath­olic Art, Writers' Guilds.

This outline is necessarily brief, but we ,hope it n~ ay serve to in­terest some of you in forming study groups in your communities~ If you have already formed such groups, will you kindly send me the. general outline of your organiza­tion? I shall ·be g lad to furnish any further information you wish.

Sincerely yours, ' Alma Danforth,
