Sister Helen Clare Dean of Studies I Sister Helen Joseph Registrar We are enrolled in a Catholic Liberal Arts College with Onr Lady of the Elms for onr protectress and model and with well-trained Sisters of St. Joseph, capable Diocesan Priests, and staunch Catholic lay leaders as instructors. Under their guidance and direction, onr adoles- cent minds learn to live more fully, to take responsi- bility seriously, to develop God-given talents, to distinguish the weapon of truth from the wide- spread errors of mankind, to be well-bred and courteous — ladies of Our Lady of the Elms. Blessed will we be now and hereafter if we are loyal to these teachings, for endowed with the intellectual and spiritual graces of the type of women our Alma Mater aims to develop, we will be women rich in intellectual interests and capable of making a full and generous contribution to the world’s work, whether in the ranks of Religion, in the classroom, in industry, or in the home. “Culture without religion, always incomplete and perilous, is especially so in woman, of whose life the priceless ornament must ever he the graces of religion.” 7
