. -il' Q tml. I1 w 'VIH t as 1 frat , ' NUL- Foreword Who shall find a valiant woman? Far and from the uttermost coasts is the price of her. Rising in stately eminence on a hill, outlined against the clouds, Mercyhurst College symbolizes the valiant woman whom she strives to fashion. And with matriarchal hands, strengthened by time, by experience and by wisdom, she leads each of her daughters in the way of Christian womanhood. Indeed, she possesses an unselfish heart, she burns with a love of God and all that is His, she shows a deep concern for all those who come to her, she comprehends clearly the modern world into which her own must be thrust. Above all, she remains firmly rooted in the eternal values of truth and of virtue. Although this valiant woman points the way to perfection, will all her daughters follow? She is confident that those who have under- stood the vision she has placed before them will transpose her ideals into a living reality. Of these, then, she will be able to say: She hath opened her mouth to wisdom and the law of clemency is on her tongue. She has looked well to the paths of her house, and hath not eaten her bread idle. This is the theme of the 1962 Praeterita. Mercyhurst College has become for us the symbol of the valiant woman found in the Book of Proverbs 31, 10-31. As such, she is the image set before her students that they too might render good, and not evil all the days of their lives. Then only can it be said of her, Her children rose up and called her blessed. 7
