While the statue of St. Dominic might remind the mus1k:ally inclined girls of Dominique, Sister M. ,lulita and Mother M. Brigetta ponder ways to follow in their patron's path. Both exemplify dedication, de- votion, and diligence in their daily duties. 2.0 What is Dominicanism? It is truth sought in prayer, nurtured in contemplation, framed in factual knowledge, and practiced in every facet of the life of a busy Dominican nun. Approaching each day with Mass, choral office, and meditation, the sisters find strength in the Infinite Source of all truth. The quest for finite knowledge sends the faculty from Oxford University, England, or the University of Freiburg, Switzerland, to Wayne State University, Detroit. They delve into primary sources at Newberry Library, Chicago, or carefully analyze hzzling test tubes at the lnstitutum Divi Thornae, Cincinnati. Armed with masteral or doctoral degrees and supported by Gods special graces, the faculty strives to share their knowledge of God, man, and nature with each student through classes, clubs, and counseling. Adrian Dominicans exemplify the beauty of a life based on truth. They are a 20th century tribute to St. Dominic's 13th century visions. .l-.V With a warm heart and words of wisdom, Sister M. ,lulita welcomes the faculty and students into her office. Doubts disappear and prohlems fade in the solvent of Sister's deep understanding and sincere kindliness.
