'CHESTNUT HILL ..I .I MONTICELLO Qaaewaacf After the French Revolution, when the Sisters ol' Saint kloseph had heen reorganized in Lyons, their first task was to reconstruct a course of studies. Today, the Sisters fol' low, as closely as possihle, the same wise curriculum. The course has heen modified to meet modern needs, hut the original ideals, religious, intellectual, and physical, remain the same. We hope to show in Tina Snum-' of' 1947 that in spite of the passage of time, the disruptions of war, and the introduction of a new social order, lvlount Saint Joseph continues to pursue an ideal of education hased on faith and right principles.

FROM FRANCE lecficallian Courage and humility are qualities which have always heen associated with the Sisters of Saint joseph. Indeed, it was this heroic heritage that hrought Mother St. John Fournier and her sister companions from France to the New Wcirld, over a century ago. Later, in 1847, it was this same spirit which, at the request of Bishop Francis ll. Kendrick, hrought them from St. Louis to Philadelphia. Here, their primary task was to estahlish St, .lohn's Orphanf age on Chestnut Street, in the L'Gothic lvlansionn. Witli centuries of traditional charity and sacrifice hehind them, the Sisters this year commemorate the centenary of their coming to Philadelphia. In recognif tion of this great event, we dedicate THE SHBAF to our dear Sisters. To them also we dedicate our triumphs in the years to come, the fame which we may some day merit, the applause which may some day ring in our ears. Stronger, far stronger than all these, will sound their quiet words of wisdom. And when in memory. they visit the halls of lviount Saint joseph, opening each door, entering each wellfloved room, we trust that they will he proud of their inf lluence on the Class of 1047. lvlitimiiiin lVlcCUiRE, 147. 18 I...
