Sfamttor’s lag U Shere are so many things we want to do in college, and we plan and plan, but somehow never do them. Until October 21, 1911, the establishing of Founder’s Day headed the list, but on that date it was graduated “cum maxima laude’’ from its class. The fact of having our beloved founder with us again was inspiration enough, and once Mother de Sales had started us off, nothing could stop us in our enthusiastic preparations for the great day. V hat matter if the sky on the feast of St. Ursula matched the Castle walls? Nothing mattered, except that it was Founder’s Day — and such a Founder’s Day as it was! It began with solemn High Mass at nine o’clock, celebrated by Reverend T. P. McLoughhn, Vice-President of the College, and attended by the entire student body clad in regulation costume. In a short address at the close of the Mass, Father McLoughlin paid a graceful tribute to Very Reverend Mother Irene in whose honor the day had been established. Later in the morning Mother Irene received all the girls and warmly expressed her appreciation of the tribute paid her. Afternoon brought the old girls in large numbers and in all the dignity of their bachelors hoods, they joined the student body at Benediction offered by Reverend Father Halpm. As the past and present St. Angelites filed down the stairs after the “Laudate,” the first alluring strain of the reception music met their ears — perfect touch to a perfect day — Van Baars!
