And we have tried to give it an unusual book, in that it contains not only very present history but also something of the earliest history of Manhattanville. It is fitting that there should be in this volume of The Tower a pic¬ ture of the first house that stood upon these grounds, for the class of 1930 is the last class to have among its members those who can claim Manhat¬ tanville as their Alma Mater both of school and college. Manhattanville is rich in tradition; the quiet brown walls of her quadrangle have grown old listening to the voices of laughter and learn¬ ing; she has given to this class something of the spirit that was hers when she was known only as the “Convent,” and had no thought of becoming “the College.” And as the Spring finds here, along the walks, and on the lawns, and in the tulip beds, one of its few real welcomes in Manhattan, so has the Class of 1930 found here friendship, and knowledge, and understanding. It is with deep affection that we have built for them this Tower. THE TRUSTEES OF THE COLLEGE Mary Moran, R.S.C.J., Honorary President Charlotte Lewis, R.S.C.J., President William J.

JOHN A. RYAN qpHE death of Dr. John A. Ryan on June 4, 1929, was a sorrow to T everyone at Manhattanville. From the foundation of the college, Dr. Ryan was associated with it as Professor of Chemistry and Physics; and we shall always be grateful to him for his work, and for the interest which he took in the development and progress of the college. There is no one who does not feel the loss of this interest and kindness so pecu- larly his. Dr. Ryan’s funeral was held on the Feast of the Sacred Heart, a fitting day for the funeral of one who had so constantly devoted him¬ self to the College of the Sacred Heart. His death cast a shadow on Commencement Week, for our grief could not be entirely concealed. At Manhattanville the memory of his unfailing kindness and genial benevo¬ lence has become a tradition. F ourtee i A FAVORITE HAUNT [. Fifteen ] THE MAIN ALTAR [Sixteen ' ] [Seventeen] [Eight een VIEW OF MANHATTANVILLE TAKEN FROM FORT HAIGHT, i860 x Convent of the Sacred Heart [Nineteen] OLD MANHATTANVILLE O N the heights of old Harlem, overlooking the Hudson River, stands the College of the Sacred Heart. Its rocky hillside, characteristic of the landscape of early New York, remains unchanged in the midst of the ever-changing city. Wrapped in the traditions of three hundred years, this spot, once consecrated by the blood of heroes in our Revolutionary War, is now rendered yet more holy in its consecration to God’s service. As we go back in memory through the decades of Manhattanville’s history we recognize the vast gulf which separates the Manhattanville of the present from that of olden days, and yet this journey through the years will only confirm our belief that the college has captured and admir¬ ably retained within its grounds a bit of old New York. The building which the college now occupies was erected in 1888. In August of that year fire had destroyed the old convent and the nuns and their pupils took shelter at Manhattan College, which we see in the picture at 131st Street and Old Broadway. This picture, taken sometime before the fire, shows the building and property which had been purchased from Jacob Lorillard in 1846. The grounds extended from 126th to 135th Street. It was a beautiful, verdant tract of land. Smooth green meadows merged into the ragged slopes of the hillsides. The little carriage path, which is now Convent Avenue, wound gracefully up to the portal of the imposing building, which towered above the surrounding groves and was easily discernible for miles across the country. Besides Mr. Lorillard there had been many other landowners in the vicinity of Manhattanville. The Blue Book of 1815 mentions Thomas Buckley, John Lawrence, Jacob Schieffelin and also the Messrs. Barrow, Byrd, Hamersly, Hogan and Moleneor. Many of the wealthy people of New York had built their homes along the river road, Claremont, now the restaurant near Grant’s Tomb, was the property of Mr. Hogan and later became for a time the residence of Joseph Bonaparte. The country house of Jacob Schieffelin was at 144th Street. Hamilton’s residence, “The Grange,” is still preserved at 141st Street and Convent Avenue. The name Manhattanville was first given to this district on a map of Harlem dated 1814, but Manhattanville’s history has a much earlier origin. During the War of 1812 a line of defense was built just south of this village. It extended from McGowan’s Pass (in Central Park) to the Barrier Gate on the Bloomingdale Road. The rocky base of Fort Haight may still be seen at Broadway and 123rd Street. Going still further back in our history we find that Manhattanville was a very important place during the American Revolution, because the [ T wenty] Battle of Harlem Heights was fought here on the sixteenth of September in 1776. Accounts of the battle tell us that Washington’s troops were camped on the heights at Manhattanville, while the British lines were drawn up on the other side of the Hollow Way (about 125th Street). For the first time in the course of the war the patriots met the British on equal footing and showed their spirit and strength. The American victory not only frustrated the British plan of campaign in the Northeast, but it gave our men that confidence which they had hitherto lacked and which enabled them to carry the war to a successful end. This battle is usually called the Battle of Harlem Heights and it is rightly named, since Manhattanville, where the colonial army was en¬ camped, was a part of New Haarlem. James Riker’s “History of Harlem’’ (New York City) tells us that early in the 17th century Peter Van Oblenis, a member of one of the Dutch families which had come to New Haarlem in 1658, bought the 100 acres lying at Manhattanville for his own use. At the time of the Great Division of the Common Lands in 1712 he was certainly the recognized owner of them. These acres com¬ prised the meadows in the Hollow Way and the land north as far as Joachim Peter’s Hills (134th Street). In 1712 seven plots were laid off along the more rugged southern hills. These sloping fields were first used as pasture lots. Later, when more people had crossed over from New Haarlem, they built dwellings and barns on these little farms. Thus this section of New York gained its first settled population. The year 1658 is a relatively ancient date in America, but Manhat¬ tanville can look back into a yet more distant past—even into a legendary era. The story has it that when Henry Hudson came to America in 1609, he had some trouble with the Indians and, in order to let the disturbance blow over, he sailed a short distance up the Manahatta River and anchored for a few days in the quiet cove, which eventually came to be known as Manhattanville, or Harlem, Cove. Thus the old world is still part of the new. Though Manhattanville to-day seems very remote from colonial struggles and pioneer civilization, historic tradition is fittingly preserved on the Campus of the College of the Sacred Heart, with its age-old rocks and stately trees.

Doris possesses such arts and gifts, and is as generous with them as it is possible for one to be who has so many friends with whom to share them. She is a lover of odd, small treasures, carved wood and plaques, an ardent admirer of hidden pieces of beauty. May she always find them, even away from Manhattanville as she has found them here!

The popularity of the Clavian Club from its beginning is due, in good part, to her work and her unflagging interest; and as a charter member of the Debating Club, she assisted in making it the most prominent of college clubs.

Convent of the Sacred Heart, Chicago S URELY the last of our good-byes to Imelda will be answered by a gay, whimsical remark, that will make us laugh even in the midst of tears. For to be with Imelda is to be happy with her; and to remember her is to remember a gay, gentle personality, who shared her gaiety and gentleness even to the extent of introducing us to Pooh, under a rather original disguise; it is to remember the eager student who filled her pink book-shelves with books she knew: volumes of Keats, Chesterton, and A.

OFFICERS S INCE its foundation in 1921, the Missionary Association has occupied a position of ever-increasing importance among the interests of the college. This year the regular catechism classes at Saint Anne’s and at the Barat Settlement House were carried on with the usual zeal. At Christmas the society helped the Christ Child Association by answering a number of letters that poor children had written, asking for toys from the “Christ Child.’’ Many of these letters were most appeal¬ ing and the response brought to these little ones a tangible possession of the wonderland of their dreams. Thanks to the Missionary Society a number of interesting lectures were given to the College. Father McDonell came to beg us to increase [Ninety-five] our devotion to the Propagation of the Faith; as he had just returned from a tour of the mission fields of this society he was able to tell very graphically of the wonderful work that the missionaries are doing for Christ. Archbishop Nicolas, the primate of Serbia, spoke to us on what the Catholic Church had done for his country. Before the incorporation of Montenegro into Serbia His Grace had been the Archbishop of that small but interesting country, and he told us many stories of his Hock. During November a tea was given under the auspices of the Society, preceded by an Indian-Javanese exhibit well calculated to arouse the interest of the college in the foreign field. Students attired in the native costumes of different Oriental peoples mingled with those who went from table to table examining the curios which Mrs. Benziger had kindly lent for the exhibition. The tea itself was served in Japanese style, the guests being waited upon by students in Japanese costume. Shortly after Christmas, Bishop Benziger gave the college a brief talk upon Quilon, India, where he has dwelt as a missionary for forty years. His Lordship told us of the appallingly small number of Catholics in the tremendous population of that country, and begged our prayers to aid the missionaries in the almost superhuman work of converting these heathen people to the Catholic Faith. Another, but informal talk was given earlier in the year by a young Jesuit from St. Louis, Mr. John Morrison, who was one of a party of six missionaries on their way to Patna. The annual bridge party, given on the twenty-fifth of February, was a splendid success. It is a matter a pride with the whole college to make it successful, since it is given for Reverend Mother’s charities. It was held in the Assembly Hall, and after the bridge there was a costume parade. A Chinese mandarin glided down the length of the hall, followed at inter¬ vals by representatives of many other countries; the finale was a Mexican dance by Renee Gonzales Salas. At the monthly meeting of the Missionary Society, financial report is given. Often appeals or letters of thanks for contributions are read. Students speak informally upon the experiences they have met in the missionary work. Besides the major activities, there are numerous smaller ones that add greatly to the spirit of zeal which has made the Manhat- tanville Missionary Society a very important factor in our college life.

Les seances de Mardi et de Jeudi n’ont pas manque d’animation et d’interet. Tout y a ete discute: litterature, politique, philosophie, evene- ments quotidiens et meme les modes feminines. Parfois, ces discussions ont ete alimentees par les conferences qui nous ont ete donnees par M. L’Abbe Lugan sur Francis Jammes et M. le Vicomte de Mauduit sur 1’Imperatrice Eugenie. Le theatre a fourni au Cercle une occasion de plus pour faire con- naitre, au reste du College, les beautes de la langue francaise. Fideles aux traditions de leurs devancieres qui ont mis sur la scene, avec succes: Le Cid, Les Femmes Savantes, L’Avare aussi bien que La Fille de Roland et la Legende de Sainte Genevieve, les membres du Cercle actuel ont represente Gringoire, de Th. de Banville. Le role de Gringoire fut inter¬ prets absolument a la francaise par Marie Louise Schroen; celui de Louis XI par Barbara Bagot; la dSlicieuse Mary McCloskey prit, au der¬ nier moment, le role de Loyse et s’en est acquittS avec un reel charme et une dSlicatesse vraiment exquise. Dans l’autre piece: “Les PrScieuses de Geneve” Sally O’Byrne et Elise Power, comme femmes ultra-modernes, et Beatrice Retana, dans le role d’un parfait diplomate, nous ont donnS une heure de fou rire. A la fin du semestre, le Cercle a eu l’honneur de parler devant la RSvSrende Mere Vicaire et la facultS du College. Les conferencieres ont choisi des sujets aussi divers qu’interessants: la poesie chinoise comme la poesie americaine; la litterature francaise, le theatre moderne et l’Histoire, ont tous recu un hommage court mais brillant. [ Ninety-eight ] THE ESSAY T HE Essay, founded in 1923, by Mother Brownson, is the literary publication of the College. It is interesting to note that many of the past editors have pursued higher studies. Alice Mulholland studied English at Oxford, and Margaret Williams at Boston College. Both were members of the first Essay board. Columbia has given several Master’s degrees to former editors of the Essay: to Basile Anglin, ’25, Elizabeth Delehanty, ’27, and Mary Burke, ’28. Katherine Sullivan, ’26, won her Master’s degree at the University of Pennsylvania. Gertrude Keefe, ’27, and Mary Ruth Keefe, ’28, continued their studies at Brown University, and Gertrude Skelly, ’28, is at Columbia. The Essay this year has for Editor-in-Chief Sally Wren O’Byrne, and her assistants are Betty Hoppe, Mary Imelda Maher, Mary McCloskey, Helen McGrath, Marie Uouise Schroen, and Beatrice Ward. Mercedes de Arango is Business Manager. [Ninety-nine] DEBATING CLUB npHE Debating Club began its fourth year auspiciously. During the past three years it has carried out well its purpose, “the betterment of public speaking.” This year the Club obtained the valuable aid of Mr. Holmes Clare, who gives instruction in debating and in Parliamentary procedure. During the year a slight change was made in the Constitution. The system of choosing speakers for the public debate was altered: twenty members were nominated, ten by the Program Committee and ten from the Floor, to take part in “try-outs” for the debate. A wide choice in subjects was given and a preparation of five minutes was allowed. Mother Green, Mother Coakley, and Mr. Clare acted as judges. The First Public Debate was held on December 16, 1929; the sub¬ ject was, Resolved: that the government of the United States is essen¬ tially different now from what it was in the beginning. The affirmative was upheld hy Helen McGrath, Margaret Martin, and Mary Matt Dwyer, the negative, by Kathleen Conneen, Elise Power, and Anne Kliegl; the negative rebuttal was given by Elise Power, the affirmative by Helen McGrath. The judges were Mother Tenney, Miss Elsa Becker, and Miss Katherine McCloskey, ’29; the decision was unanimous in favor of the affirmative. [One hundred J The Program of the year follows: October 14: Resolved: that the United States should never guarantee nor protect the investments or properties of its citizens in foreign coun¬ tries, except in time of war.

[One hundred and two ] T HE CLASSICAL CLUB A LTHOUGH the Classical Club is informal in its government, it is serious in its purpose—the promotion of an active interest in the classics. Each person wishing for admission must produce some literary work dealing with a classical subject. If the candidate’s composition is worthy, the members signify their approbation by putting up their thumbs. This year the voting was unanimous in favor of the candidates. Lyrical translations of the harmonious poems of Catullus; Xenophon’s ride in the subway; the modernized correspondence of Cicero and Terentia; a dream concerning Caesar and his legions, each, in turn, proved that the pro¬ ducers had a real appreciation of classical values. The meetings are alternately business and social meetings. Original¬ ity of thought, originality of expression, originality that is not bizarre, these are the spontaneous gifts that make them delightful. The president, Beatrice Ward, conducts the meetings in approved classical style. This year, under the auspices of the Club, Professor McCrea of Columbia gave a delightful lecture on Vergil. The open meeting of the Club was a vaudeville show as the ancients would have had it. Roman practicality combined with Grecian artistry gave the college the unique presentation of the year, at which Mother Edmands was welcomed as a guest of honor. [One hundred and three ] CLAVIAN CLUB PHE Clavian Club set for itself and has achieved a high standard. Since its foundation in 1928 its membership has almost doubled and the enthusiastic interest with which it was first heralded has not abated. The required work consists of a report of the very interesting lectures given to the Club once a month by Mother Spies, and some accompanying assigned Mathematical research work. Some of the lectures were, “Clavius, the Founder,” “Einstein and the Fourth Dimension, A Brief Survey,” “Mathematics in the United States,” “Non-Euclidean Geometry,” “The Bernouilli Family of Mathematicians,” and “Animals Doing Mathe¬ matics.” For the May meeting of the Club, the last of the semester, there is scheduled “A Relativity Drama” to be given by the Charter members. The Officers of the Club for the year 1929-30 are Anne Kliegl, Presi¬ dent, and Adelaide Stephens, Secretary. [One hundred and four ] EL CLUB ESPANOL ,:La Historia Del Club? U NA leyenda oriental nos cuenta que una vez, el sol enamorado de la belleza de la tierra, la beso y que de ese beso, nacio el clavel. Pro- porcion guardada entre una leyenda y una historia, entre la ficcion y lo real, dire que nuestro Club tambien surgio espontaneo bajo la accion del amor, de la admiracion y del entusiasmo de las estudiantes por el Espahol. :Sus Actividades? Hay mas de interno que de externo . . . Sin embargo hemos exteriori- zado nuestro amor al Espahol en varias circunstancias: La Nena Belmonte, hija de la Marquesa de Belmonte, nos dio una preciosa conferencia sobre Alfonso XIII. La aplaudimos; porque se lo merecio. Estoy segura de que no olvidaremos aquella linda fiesta “Flores de Espana” en cuya pri- mera parte Betty Hoppe caracterizo primorosamente al Caballero de la Triste Figura, cuando sentado en un tronco de arbol escribio su famosa carta a Dulcinea. La graciosisima Leonor Wade nos hizo reir mucho representando al famoso San cho Panza. Alice Dwyer estuvo perfecta- mente en su papel de ventero y Muriel McCann, aquel travieso arriero que peleo con esa agilidad que le ha dado un puesto preeminente en nuestro team, tambien desempeno muy bien su papel. Y . . . Cantaba la fuente y tambien la guitarra, el alma del publico se her- mano con el espiritu Espahol que emanaba del patio Andaluz, lindo como un ensueno. Alii las flores y “Las Espanolas” se disputaban el premio de belleza. Doce, catorce, que se yo cuantas Andaluzas lucian sus mantones de vivos colores y llevaban con gracia la clasica peina y mantilla. Bailaron, Renee, Beatriz, Elena, Elisa y Rita. Que bien lo hicieron! K J de encarnado con mantilla negra, Evelyn toda de encaje bianco y Regina con su manton floreado, formaban un cuadro de un ambiente tan Espahol que seguramente el mismo Goya lo hubiera firmado. En preparacion tenemos otra fiesta, pero sh, sh, sh, no descubramos secretos—Habra cuadros, cantos y quizas, quizas cintas cinematograficas. [One hundred arid five] IL CIRCOLO 1TALIANO N EL mille novecento ventinove e stato iniziato il circolo italiano, il quale benche ancora piccolo ha gia dato prova di un grand’amore per tutto quel che riguarda l’ltalia. La letteratura e gli avvenimenti quotidiani hanno alimentato numerose discussioni di massimo interesse, cosicche le reunioni sono riuscite alle volte assai vivaci. Nel mese di febbraio le classi d’italiano presentarono due scene della Divina Commedia. Una tolta dal primo e secondo Canto del Purga- torio dove Dante incontra il suo amico Casella, e l’altra daH’ultimo Canto del Paradiso nel quale San Bernardo inalza la sua sublime preghiera alia Vergine Madre. I personaggi furono artisticamente interpretati, e la scena del Para¬ diso riprodusse l’effetto d’un antico quadro a fondo oro del tempo di Dante. Circondata da un mare di luce la Madonna pareva in realta una visione. Personaggi Prima Scena Dante.Marie Louise Schroen Virgilio.Mercedes de Arango Casella .Mary Bryant Catone. Anne Emilie Schmidt Un Angelo e degli Spiriti Seconda Scena La Madonna . Mary Imelda Maher San Bernardo.; . . . Beatriz Retana San Gabriele. Helen Connolly Beatrice . Helena Hidalgo Nella prima scena la voce delicata e dolce di Casella ha destato vivissimi applausi. Il coro degli spiriti nella stessa scena e l’Ave Maria alia conclusione dello spettacolo sono anche riusciti graditissimi. [One hundred and sly] THE GLEE CLUB HP HE membership of the Glee Club has greatly increased this year -L and we sincerely hope that the interest in its activities will continue. In September, 1929, Marie Humphreys was elected President; Alice K. Storrs, Junior Representative; Helen Marie Haubold, Sophomore Rep¬ resentative; and Catherine Midgley, Freshman Representative. At the request of the president, a member from each class was chosen to form a selection-committee whose work it is to choose the music for informal events and weekly meetings. On October 12th the Club entertained the College with a number of patriotic songs. On November 14th, last year’s success, “Trial by Jury,” was repeated. The applause was so great and the fame thereof spread so far that the president was requested to give the Operetta for the Catholic Girls’ Club. This is to be our first public appearance. Before the Christmas holidays the Glee Club sere¬ naded the Faculty and Students with carols. The cloaks, lanterns, and bells gave this little performance, which took place in the courtyard, a real medieval touch. The Glee Club wishes to express its gratitude to Mother McCarthy, to the Director, Madame Rabke, to the president, Marie Humphreys, and to the accompanist, Dora Guerrieri, for their untiring efforts in making its undertakings successful. [One hundred and seven] DRAMATIC ASSOCIATION OFFICERS W HEN the Dramatic Association invited the College to its first pre¬ sentation of the year, and the bulletin-board was decorated with a poster introducing “Wurzel Flummery,” the rationality of the Footlight Club was seriously doubted. The rationality of the entire college might also have been debated, if consequent attempts at pronunciation had been heard. The Club was reinstated, however, on the evening of the presenta¬ tion, when Wurzey Flummery appeared to claim his rightful honors; for in spite of his name, Wurzel proved to be “a perfectly charming fellow,” [One hundred and eighty who won the affection of his audience. Wurzel explained himself with the help of the following: Robert Crawshaw, M.P.. Margaret Bannin Mrs. Crawshaw. Elise Power Viola Crawshaw.Mary McCloskey Richard Meriton, M.P.Helen McGrath Denis Clifton. Margaret Martin Although, as we go to press, “The Ivory Door” has not yet opened to enchant us, we have the promise of it in the future. We are delighted at the prospect, especially since we know the cast and its capabilities: Jester (prologue) .Christina Kreag King Hilary ..Mary Curley Prince Perivale . ...

(.Soldiers of the Guard Carlo. { Janice Griffin and Louisa Popham Bruno, Captain of the Guard.Alice Dwyer Princess Lilia.. Mary Imelda Maher Mob and Attendants Several other plays have been presented this year, but not under the auspices of this Club. Fuller mention is given to them elsewhere. [One hundred and nine ] THUMB TACK CLUB HP HE Thumb Tack Club is the art division of the Dramatic Associa- tion. Having among its members many artists and many interested in art, it has had opportunity to enjoy illustrated lectures, given by Mother Woollett, to sponsor art exhibits, and to meet some of the prominent painters of the day. The most interesting of its meetings was that at which the Club met Mrs. Rosamund Smith Bouve, Vice-President of the Women’s Painters and Sculptors Club, at tea in the Studio, where several of her paintings were exhibited. The Club, nevertheless, has not neglected its fundamental work: its assistance in the construction of stage scenery has been unfailing and enthusiastic. This year we have initiated a contest among the students of the Academies for the best original poster on the subject, “See America First.” It may be in any three colors. A prize of ten dollars is offered. One hundred and ten CLASS ENTERTAINMENTS I T has always been a custom for each class to entertain the Freshman Class during the first month of the college year, so that the new¬ comers may soon become acquainted with their fellow-students. The Seniors, with traditional dignity, were the first to assume the role of hos¬ tesses and officially welcomed the Freshmen to the College with a Baby- party. “The children 1 ’ were reminded that although they were recognized socially, they were still young and must never forget the reverence due to their elders. The Skeleton Dance given by the Juniors was a gruesome warning of the pitfalls awaiting the unwary feet of the lazy. The shades of bygone students showed us the horrible torture inflicted upon the mis¬ creants. They had to spend eternity studying Livy! Skeleton refresh¬ ments were served, and soon we all decided to become skeletons and join the dance. The Juniors brought solace to Freshmen hearts with quantities of English muffins and chocolate, at a tea which ended the horrors of Fresh¬ man week. The Sophomore Class “buried the hatchet”—and gave a Bridge in honor of their former unfortunate antagonists. Peace was made to such an extent that the prize was won by a Freshman. In return for the courtesies extended by the other classes, the Fresh¬ men entertained the College with a charming Musical Revue. This was the first exhibition of the varied talents of this new class. The songs, dances and sketches were extremely clever; we must comment especially upon the detective story written by a member of the class. Entertainments in celebration of Flallowe’en and St. Valentine’s Day were given by the Senior and Junior classes respectively. The Seniors at first endeavoured to terrify us with ghosts, witches and toothless Jack O’ Lanterns, but later, taking compassion on our weakness, they sustained us with cider and pop-corn. The Junior Class entertained the College at dinner; the dining-room was decorated with the traditional hearts and streamers of red and white. After dinner there was dancing in the radio room and this was interrupted by a novel distribution of Valentines, which fell in showers from the ceiling. [One hundred and twelve ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OFFICERS HOCKEY npHE game with Hunter College last fall brought to a close Manhattan- -■L ville’s seventh undefeated hockey season. Perhaps the greatest Varsity triumph was the selection of some of its players, after several tryouts at Prospect Park, for the All-New York Hockey Squad. Betty Sherwood won a position on the first team, and Ruth Hassett, Rita O’Shea and Beatrice Ward on the second. After the hockey tournament at Scarsdale, Betty Sherwood was chosen as fullback for the All-Northeastern Hockey Team. At the annual banquet letters were awarded to the Varsity line-up, as given below, and also to Janet Von Brecht, substitute. At the banquet there were also awarded gold hockey balls to the Seniors who had been members of the Varsity team for four years, Muriel McCann and Sally O’Byrne.

The first students of the College visualized their grandchildren using “the new gym.” The present students thought their children would perhaps see its completion. But those old hopes are come to an abrupt and happy fulfillment, and the dreams verge upon a great reality, for on January twenty-second the college learned that it had received the gift of a gymnasium from Mother Benziger’s family in mem¬ ory of her parents, Louis and Louise Benziger. Already keen eyes and constructive minds are casting about for an appropriate site, and many months will not pass before we hear the sound of hammers ringing on stone. We can only say that this great generosity finds the college the bearer of a lasting debt of gratitude that can never be fully paid. r3 t� H™� fU o3 oQO - rn - r jFy ' • ' H-jmOJ [One hundred and eighteen ] r 35 J —4 m jsk V a «5o [One hundred and twenty EVENTS OF THE YEAR April 8, 1929. A most outstanding event with which to open our cal¬ endar of Manhattanville activities is our return to college from the Easter holidays. April 11.

April 1. “The Tower” goes to press today and we leave the events of Spring and Commencement Week to our able successors. [0 ne hundred and twenty-six ] COMMENCEMENT WEEK ' I ACH Commencement Week, when it is viewed in retrospect, assumes XdJ the characteristics common to Commencements, yet when it is in progress, it is always unique. It is a period of joyous anticipation, a time of haste and good humor. The days are full, there is no idle moment. Commencement Week of 1929 began with the Baccalaureate Sermon delivered by the Reverend Father Higgins, O.S.F.C. “The fault of our day,” he said, “is the idolizing of intellect to the neglect of heart. Unless they are together nothing great is done, . . . Those things we have asked you to think—think. Those things we have asked you to do—do. Begin where we have left off, then proceed like giants rejoicing to run the course. Leave us far behind. . . . To you Our Lord will say “You are the light of the world; you are the salt of the earth.” Later, those who were present at the Mass witnessed the ceremony of the daisy chain. The procession marched around the grounds. There was a pause while the Seniors bestowed the chain on the Sophomores, Then the procession marched to the statue of Our Lady around which the chain was finally placed. Class Day was a time of glad reunion. After the Alumnae meeting, luncheon was served for the past graduates in the courtyard. In the after¬ noon the Senior Class presented the play, “Quality Street.” Margaret Moynihan, as the heroine, was inimitable. With true Barrie naivete she interpreted the character of the coy Phoebe. That evening the official will of the Senior Class was read, each legacy bestowed with the approbation of the assembly. The prophecies were made with the originality that marks each achievement of the Class of 1930. When they had emerged from the Sibylline Oracle, the visitors and the college attended the serenading of the Senior Class by its sister class, the Sophomore. The closing feature of the evening was a beautiful display of fireworks. The cup for Field Day, given for the winning of the greatest number of events, was awarded to the Freshman class. Betty Sherwood won the Tennis Cup in a well-contested game with Charlotte Conlin. The “Kath¬ erine Bagley Cup” for first place in the golf tournament was given to Audrey White. Mary Hill received the “Martha Adams Cup,” presented by the votes of the college to the person who had done the most for the promotion of athletics during the year. [One hundred and twenty-seven ] The joyous anticipation of the week was realized on Commencement Day. In the Assembly Hall Mr. Thomas F. Woodlock spoke on the advantages of a liberal education, as received in a Catholic college. His Eminence, Cardinal Hayes, after confering degrees, addressed the gradu¬ ates, offering his congratulations and bestowing his blessing. The Aca¬ demic Procession, in accordance with Manhattanville tradition, sang the Commencement Hymn on the way to the Chapel, where Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament was given. ALUMNAE BREAKFAST A T the Manhattanville Alumnae Breakfast, there is always an element added to the congeniality between old graduates and new. It is that unique spirit so characteristic of all the graduates of the Sacred Heart, which makes such a gathering a glorious family reunion, not a mere renewal of past acquaintance. It was under these very favorable conditions that the Manhattanville Alumnae Association held its thirty- first Annual Breakfast on Tuesday, January the fourteenth, at the Park Lane. The Alumnae of Manhattanville, Maplehurst, Madison Avenue, Rochester and other houses were present at the breakfast and the Senior class of the College also attended by the two-fold right of present students and future alumnae. Mrs. George H. Bradford, President of the Association, opened the meeting with a charming speech of welcome. Then the toastmaster, Miss Marcella McKeon, introduced Mrs. Margaret Culkin Banning of Rochester, as the speaker of the day. Mrs. Banning, an eminent novelist and short story writer, spoke of her career. In speaking of herself, and of writers generally, she put forward her theory that all should be propa¬ gandists for some cause. Miss Nina Maresi, who is a graduate of Manhattanville, sang two beautiful selections, the “Aria,” by Adriena Lecouvreur, and Gounod’s “Serenade.” After these festivities were over, Mrs. Bradford made her speech of resignation, and introduced Mrs. Edgar Treacy as the new President of the Association.
