The New Residence Hall For many years the Archdiocese of Dubuque has prayed and worked that it might have a seminary of its own in which it might prepare the young men of the diocese for the ‘‘work of Christ. ’ The many years of effort and planning have borne fruit in Mount St. Bernard Theological Seminary. With the grace of God these endeavors not only supplied the Archdiocese with a theological seminary, but also con- tributed toward the erection of a building for the priesthood students of Loras College. Construction of the new edifice began in the middle of November of 1952, and its prospective residents have been eagerly observing its erection, story by story. It is the hope of the College to open the doors of the new building in the forthcoming school year. The building, situated on the north side of the Rock Bowl, will house one hundred and sixty students. Its com- anding view of the Loras campus will serve as special note for all visitors to the college of its importance in properly molding “other Christs.” A name for this new residence hall has not yet been selected, but the cornerstone was laid by Their Excellencies Archbishop RohIman, Archbishop Binz, and Bishop Lane on the feast of Saint Joseph. the Patron of the college. Tt is a tribute to these three that such a building could be erected for the honor and glory of Christ. our King. five
