These form the splendor of NEWTON

Ten years ago no college existed on the shining heights of Newton. Ten brief years have seen the firm establishment and truly miraculous growth of our own dear Newton College of the Sacred Heart. Its five beauti- ful buildings, its student body that will reach the three hundred mark in September, its well-organized, loyal Alumnae, its high scho- lastic standard recognized in New England and further afield, its well-known School of Liturgical Music, its own peculiar charac- teristics such as the special brand of family spirit among the students fostered by the mingling of every class in each house, its high excellence in all studies integrated under the liberating reign of Theology, Queen of the Sciences, its intense liturgical life finding highest expression in the daily Missa recfitata vel Cantata: these are the splendor of Newton raised to the glory of the Most Holy Trinity through the Heart from which Newton came. It was indeed from the Heart of Christ that Newton was born, for Newton finds her place in the Church, the Bride that issued from the side of the Second Adam as He slept in death on the Cross. One of the soldiers opened His side and there came forth the Sacraments, red blood and living water, sangwls et aqua into which are changed the wine and water of our Mass. What else do our Burgundy and Blue stand for but that fountain of grace and joy that sprang from the pain of the crucified? The old order changes giving place to the new. The waters flow along, year by year in volume gaining. We are in that stream of grace, that never failing fountain. Let us never swerve from the channel, but wear it ever deeper, singing as we go. -MOTHER ELEANOR KENNY
