MARY WARD Three hundred years ago when political and religious upheavals were destroying the high ideals of youth an event took place in England which was to restore those ideals and raise them to an even higher level. Despite hard- ship and discouragement, and persecution even by the members of her own faith, Mary Ward, a young Englishwoman with beauty of soul reflected in her physical loveliness, Wrought a revolutionary change in religious orders for women. The ideals she fought for were that Women be permitted to go among the people, spread their lessons of charity, and educate the young. Schools for girls, both elementary and secondary, were especially encouraged. Her accomplishments Were numerous, culminating in a highly sanctified life and the establishment of a community of unenclosed religious women which adopted the rule of the Society of Iesus. Never did Mary fail in her faith in God and Hts intentions in her regard, and never, even in the most difficult trials, did she lose her remarkable cheerfulness and lively humor. As a fitting tribute to Mary Ward her work lives on and expands with each passing year. We, the Senior Class of 1946, have felt her influence permeate our four years at Loretto and we extend our deep appreciation and love to those daughters of Mary Ward Who, following her maxim, have done good and done it well. 9
