Our Chapel , Heart of Regis, Where the Beauty and Majesty of God Pervade From the imposing Parterre of College Hall to the simplicity and dignity of our Chapel, Regis is a symbol of Catholic edu- cation, standing high on a hill for all the world to see. Set apart from the cares of a turbulent world, our College rises upon the hilltop as a sanctuary of peace and quietude. Its shaded paths, tower gardens, hidden shrines offer the restful haven needed in a chaotic world. Cardinal O’Connell Hall, Regis Hall, College Hall, St. Joseph’s Hall, the Com- merce Building, all dotted across our roll- ing campus, offer the varied courses. These buildings provide us with the principles of education coupled with the Catholic values of life. Though sheltered in this restful Regis atmosphere, we cannot lie dormant to the evils of the world. We will bring the spirit of Regis to our friends and enemies alike. We will share

Off and Away to Celebrate Completion of Exams in Pat ' s New Convertible When Bishopjohn Rosati of St. Louis in- vited six nuns to come to America, the seed was transplanted to the United States and established in the French village, Carondo- let, on the outskirts of St. Louis. In 1873, Boston opened its doors to the Sisters of St. Joseph, gladly welcoming the nuns and their Superior, Sister Mary Regis. The culmination of all their dreams came when Regis College for Women was founded. The seed had budded and blos- somed forth into a beautiful and everlast- ing tribute.

the spirit of peace and Catholicity found on the Regis Campus. St. Joseph ' s Hall, still bearing its new- ness of construction, hides behind College Hall, unseen until we enter the parking area. Then we find a large red-brick build- ing, modern in every aspect, both exterior and interior. Set apart from the modernistic design is its Chapel, serene and peaceful, which serves as a shelter for our Sister Faculty. Shining, paneled oak walls, wood-carved statues and stations add a touch of the sub- lime to the otherwise simple Chapel of the Lord. Here they find the peace and quiet necessary after the trials and tribulations of a professor’s day, long and arduous. As our Sisters of St. Joseph kneel to receive the grace of God in their Chapel, they, in turn, bring it to us in the class- room. They stand before us as a symbol of the tranquillity and peace which is Ca- tholicism. Their Faith, so simple and trust- ing, even in these times of distress, per- vades us like the glow of a flickering taper. The love of God, which is so strongly theirs, permeates their every word. In the science labs, in the English classes, in re- ligion groups and in each and every class- room Christ is there in their words, their faces and their hearts. They teach us trust in God and hope in men. Holy Family Chapel, in Which Those Dedicated to God and His Work Worship
