The Resident Student Association works to achieve unity and co-operation among its one hundred ninety members. Its governing body is the dorm council under the moderation of Sister Borromeo, the housemother of Lourdes Hall. Dormitory life offers many opportunities for growth in the religious, social, and educational spheres. Father Murphy provides counseling, makes the sacraments avail- able to the students, and offers daily Mass. Every evening during the school week, one can find a gathering of dorm students, kneeling before the statue of the Blessed Virgin in the lobby, offering the rosary for success in studies and World peace. Opportunities to develop socially are not lacking in the dormitory. A friendly, getting-acquainted spirit per- vades Lourdes Hall during Welcome Week in mid-Sep- tember. Returning upperclassmen enthusiastically greet old friends and roommatesg they welcome freshmen and new students with typical friendliness. Before leaving for Christmas vacation, the girls enjoy a festive formal dinner prepared under the direction of Sister Monica. In addition to the intellectual education found at Mary Manse, the mingling of students from various countries around the globe provides education in the world-wide sense. lv. I I .

The Mary Manse Praesidium, Our Lady Seat of Wisdom, is headed by Sister Bozromeo, spiritual directress. Apostolic work consists of visiting patients in seven rest homes in the vicinity, teaching catechism at St. Patrick's of Providence, distributing religious articles, and volunteering services to the college and the community. Active members attend a weekly meeting and do apostolic work while auxiliary members offer prayers for the intentions of Our Lady. The Legion hopes to increase the personal holiness of its members and to foster a deeper devotion to Mary among all peoples. 43
