N MEMORIAM MOTHER MARY CORRIGAN, R.S.C.J., Ph.D. In February, 1936, Mother Mary Corrigan left for England to star the long journey to China. Mother Corrigan, who had worked for over nine years in Manhatfanville and fhen in Kenwood, teaching science, was beginning a new phase of her aposfolafe: she was taking up the work of a missionary of God. In Shanghai her zeal had but scant opportunity to make itself felt, for in less than a year after the commencement of her pilgrimage, on the fourth day of September, Mother Corrigan died, while the fertile fields of the Orient were yet in need of the loving devotion of such a reaper of souls. Mary Corrigan was born in South Orange, New Jersey, in 1876. She received her education at Manhattanville and in 1898 entered the novitiate at Kenwood, and at the Mother House in Conflans, Paris, she made her profession in 1908. Fr om 1925 to 1934 she was at Manhattanville as Director of the physical science laboratories and in this capacity found her most useful field of labor. Here she remained for nine years until she left for Kenwood to teach French classes. We whom she taught were both proud and sad when we learned that she was to depart for fhe Chinese missions. Confident that Mother Corrigan would do a great work in winning souls to God, we bade her farewell. The Tower wishes fo pay tribute to one who will always live as long as Manhattanville remembers those who helped to enrich her spirit, and Manhattanville will always remember. Seven
