ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY Who is the valiant woman? She is a woman of faith and courage; one bent on doing the truth; one giving the womanly attribute of service; one sharpening her values by scholarship and prayer. Sister M. Angela in an address to the student body told us that this is the ideal toward which we, as students of Rosary Hill College, should strive. What she did not mention, however, is the fact that we see this ideal goal in concrete fulfillment in the administrators of the college. These women of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Francis of Penance and Christian Charity are, indeed, valiant women. In eleven years, their planning and super- vision has enabled Rosary Hill to ex- pand, enrich itself, and become a promi- nent college in the East. Year by year an increasing number of young women seek- ing learning and personal integrity have realized the value of a Catholic education through their contact with these valiant women. The educational philosophy of Rosary Hill, shaped by the administration, is carried to the students by the faculty. They share with us their knowledge of, and ideas on, the practical and aesthetic; the concrete and the theoretical. Through their inspiration and influence we learn, reason, and gain stability within, and scope without. It is to them that we owe the courage to try again even in the face of apparent failure, the generosity to give of ourselves and of our spirit’s wealth, the sincerity and inner strength which have made us truly women. They have dared us to strive for excellence.
