Library Symbolizes Heart of Academic Pursuit One of the proudest achievements , the Regis College Library houses reading rooms , language laboratory and vocarium, plus Newman and Philatelic treasures. This year marks the one-hundred- hftieth anniversary of the Archdiocese of Boston. Rich in liturgy is the Church, the heart of the Archdiocese, its symbolism meaningful to all Catholics. The Church is the reservoir of Christ’s graces. Streaming with Life, the Blood of Christ redeems everyone. As the Mystical Body of Christ, the Church invites all to drink of her supernatural graces. Ancient as the catacombs is the symbol of men of Faith, thirsting like birds of the air. Christ’s Church alone is the perpetual fountain to quench their thirst.

U Casual Settings Characterize Campus Life One of the most frequented rooms is the Lounge in College Hall. Here residents and day-hops gather for discussions , debates and long-range planning after classes. The seeds from which Regis grew de- veloped in LePuy, France, in 1650. Guided by Father John P. Medaille, S.J., a group of women prayed and taught, integrating the life of Martha and Mary. Led by Mother Mary Regis, three Sisters came from Brooklyn, New York, to form the first community in Boston, October 2, 1873, known as Founders’ Day. The Archdiocese of Boston and the Sis- ters of Saint Joseph grew, each recognizing the need of a Catholic college for women. Thus the Sisters of Saint Joseph opened Regis College in 1927.
