i lionnnsir ' I V. . L, Sister Ignatia During this golden year, Mount St. Mary's gives special thanks and recognition to one who has contributed fifty years of caring and working for the Mount. As a'Founder of the College, a teacher, and an artist, Sister Ignatia has enriched the Mount in many ways. Sister entered the Carondelet community in 1908 and taught at St. Mary's Academy before joining the original college faculty in 1925. She helped establish the Mount on its hill top campus when the school moved from the St. Mary's Academy location. In a Tidings interview in 1968, Sister recalled those early days when Brady Hall was the only building on campus: 6'We had the timber for a new building, but then the depression came with a bang and that ended that. We lived in three or four rooms. Students scrimped on clothes. They couldn't get jobs, even after graduation. They were kind to each other--and to usf' Many new buildings were to follow after the depression years, among them, the Marian Hall of Fine Arts which Sister Ignatia helped design. The Bel Air fire of 1961 destroyed the building along with many of Sisteris works. Sister served as chairman of the Art Department for thirty years and retired from active teaching in 1962. Although retired, Sister Ignatia expresses a very active love and concern for the Mount of 1975. ,Q Will ,,. . 1 fire r- fr -1 '-wwzciraii 1 ,HI N avg: 5 1 It -'slum rr ii at ,.
