has been converted into a cafeteria for the Day Students, with a Games Room in the basement. Perhaps the greatest change of all came in 1943 when the Academy was moved to its new home in Tuxedo Park and the Mount became the home of only the Col- lege of Mount Saint Vincent. This change was necessitated by the growing student body in both Academy and College. An- other change almost as momentous as this took place shortly before, when Fonthill Castle, hitherto the chaplain's home and a museum housing valuable wild-life and mineral collections, became Elizabeth Seton Library. The collections were transferred to LeGras Hall, which had formerly been used as the library, and to Maryvale Hall, while the chaplain took up residence in the Villa. The establishing of the library in the Castle has proven advantageous not only because of the convenience of the lo- cation but also because the building is so perfectly suited to the role it now plays. The growing enrollment demanded in- creased space so Marillac Hall was built especially for Junior and Senior boarders and, in the last two years, Saint Vincent's Hall and Lourdes Hall have been opened in the Administration Building. The war years came, bringing with them bond drives, Red Cross activities, a de- creased number of social functions and in- creased prayer. Professors left for military service, and their absence gave the Mount a very personal part in the war. New themes appeared in the College paper, the Campus Record and in the literary maga- zine, the Fonthill Dial. These themes were usually not pleasant ones but reflected the tempo of the times through which we were passing. The war is over now but the times are still troubled. It is in this year of post- war chaos, l947, that the Mount celebrates her one-hundredth anniversary, marking a full century of unceasing endeavor in the educational and spiritual field, ever seek- ing to follow the college motto, ubonitatem et disciplinam et scientiam doce me. 47 , sly ,N V. ,,j T' :.r,fQ1- me Q, . f Q-A g?g?:,y tffar f, ' - he - 'W Wi -f: Qifgr a1g-a-- .- a t .I ag - PE? t -in , g 9? mxwllg . 1 4 ll' A' , E l ilu ' 325,331 ll. i j.
