F 0 R E W 0 R D The year 1940 brings with it a rich and plentiful harvest for all who honor and love the Society of the Sacred Heart. Mother Philippine Duchesne, who first brought the Society to America, in 1818, thus sowing the seeds of which we are reaping the fruit at Manhattanville, is being honored by the whole Church. On May twelfth, the Feast of Pentecost, she will receive the title of Blessed Philippine Duchesne. We wish that ' ice could join the pilgrimage to Rome which is being made by many of the Superiors of the Order in America; but since that is impossible, we have selected the theme of the harvest for the 1940 Tower as one means of expressing our joy and gratitude. The courageous labor performed by Mother Duchesne influences all who are in any way part of Manhattanville. Realizing, then, the special meaning that her beautification has for us, we, in union with all the Children of the Sacred Heart throughout the world, raise our hearts and voices ... in exultatione metens.

E I) I C ATI 0 The Class of 1941 dedicates the 1940 Tower to the Most Reverend Francis J. Spellman, L.L.D., D.l)., Archbishop of New York. Since his visit to the College in 1937, in the company of Cardinal Pacelli, now onr beloved Pope Pius XII, Arch¬ bishop Spellman has been well known at Man- hattanville. We have been privileged in having him preside over our graduation exercises and we hope that he will honor Manhattanville often with his presence. In dedicating our Yearbook we wish to express to Archbishop Spellman, and through him to our Holy Father, the Pope, the affection and loyalty of Manhattanville.
