K' Ivey Nr Of you, Mother, who, in your first year as President of Rosemont, have per- meated our life with the serenity ofthe Holy Child and the humility of His Most Holy Mother, we, the Senior Class, feel justly proud. For you, Mother, who, holding before us the great role of Catholic women in our modern life, have vitally influenced this vision of life integrated by our spiritual, intellectual, and social develop- ment, we, the graduating class, wish to leave an expression of our gratitude. To you, Mother Mary Chrysostom, who, assuring your prayers to all, have given your understanding and advice to all who seek it, we, the Class of 1953, dedicate our yearbook. . . . DEDICATIO

.fs L: I Ji if 1. x' I 5 R The vision of life gained at Rosemont is of a harmonious universe with balancing, related parts. It fulfills Cardinal New- man's definition of a liberal education, the cultivation of the intellect to know the relative disposition of things. Most impor- t. I I . . . . . X ant, ion ex cr, is that this intellectual perfection is ordered d an given meaning by the spiritual guidance of our Catholic faith. To picture the harmon chosen as our symbol Plato's vis' f y of our vision of the world, we have ion o Er: a universe of eight spheres revolving about a spindle of Necessity. Each sphere has a single toneg the eight tones blend to form a harmonious melody. ln our Rosemont universe th ' ' ' ' ' e spindle is our Catholic religion, taught and applied, su orti ' ' ' pp ng and directing the eight spheres of college living. This yearbook is a view of our harmonious universe with its related spheres as we envision it in four years at Rosemont. i f 1 w l I W -'.ii'.:f, 1,7 .1 2' FOREWORD .
