IN DEDICATION

Contents “ Behold my eye hath seen all these things, and my ear hath heard them; and I have un- derstood them all.” Before us lies the culmination of our every hope. . the zenith of our every dream. It is the record of a treasured span, replete with fine ideals. We are now to leave the haven of our hearts, hut in departure, steal a mem- ory or two. We remember Regis in the beauty of every season —a majestic commandant of truth . . of love. . . of gracious living. W ' e recall winter days and nights when snow frosted trees and lawn with delicate whiteness. We remember Spring when carefully planted flowers sprang into profusive loveliness. Here, too, with loving hearts we fondly sketch those whom we leave behind us. . . those who make Regis a fine college. . a fine life. W ' e, as Senior Daughters, have shared a responsibility with our Faculty to be models of dignity and respect. W ' e have received from them unerring examples of goodness and Mary-1 ikeness. Treasured Regis friend- ships stem from work and play — from the give and take of Christian living. In this, our priceless record, we have tried to recollect a glimpse of every phase of Regis existence — classroom scenes, basketball games, dramatic productions, clubs, dances. Silhouetted against the pastel beauty of all our life at Regis are the profiles of May Processions, Junior Week, Founders’ Day and our own Commencement. These are the epics of Regis — these are our memories. This marks the beginning and the end. W’e have seen the beauty of life. . . .We have heard its truth and goodness. Our lives will be our understanding. . . understanding of our love for and our duty to our God and our Country.

Love built Regis College, a burning love of God by an unconquerable band of women who personify the Valiant Lady of the Book of Proverbs. “Far and from uttermost coasts is the price of her. Strength and beauty are her clothing. She has opened her mouth to wisdom and the law of clemency is on her tongue.” The striking contrast between the log cabin of the Sisters of St. Joseph’s first G home in America a century ago, and the spacious red-bricked buildings on our campus reflects the miraculous growth of the congregation, made easy by indomi- table courage. In a world of false ideals we had only to look at these models of Christian selfless- ness to regain a balanced perspective. In our trials, their encouragement has made us go on to triumph. Their zest for doing and being shed a new eagerness on the tediousness of everyday living. In four years at the College of the King, we have come to love and respect these Christlike guides into new vistas. There- fore it is with grateful appreciation that we dedicate the 1950 Mount Regis to the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph on the three-hundredth anniversary year of foundation. As we go forth into the pathways of the world, may we ever reflect their faith and courage. May ours be their way. His way . . the ladder to perfection.
