J. M. J. June, 1954 Dear Graduates, You, the members of the class of l954, are uniquely privileged to be graduated from a college dedicated to the Mother of God in a year proclaimed by our Holy Father, Pius XII, the Marian Year. In his encyclical-Fulgens Corona Gloriae-his Holiness states that the centenary of the Immaculate Conception should stimulate Christians to conform their lives to that of Mary, and to place their trust in nOur Powerful Mother.n And so today, my dear seniors, I can think of no fitter recommendation for graduates of Mount St. Mary's than to say to each one of you: Let your lives reflect Mary, place yourself and your whole future under the patronage of this loving mother. During your college years you have prepared yourselves for a special vocation. If your choice be marriage, the special instruction you have received has convinced you that a Catholic college alumna, taking Mary as her examplar of the true wife and mother, must in turn convince the rest of the world of the unity and indissolubility of marriage. If our Lord has favored you with a religious vocation, you will serve Him through Mary in your work of teaching, nursing, care of the poor and the unfortunate. If a career appeals to you, again I refer you to Fulgens Corona in which our Holy Father begs that prayers be offered for the youth of today that they take an active part in the affairs of the world and spread religious truths to the law-making bodiesg that they help bring back Christ to the world through Mary. Live up, dear graduates, to the high spiritual and intellectual ideals Mount St. Mary's College has tried to instill in your hearts and minds. You are equipped to UChristianize the Christians and to Marianize every one.n Sister Agnes Marie
