ADMINISTRATION The operation of our College, the welfare of its students, the solicitude for our spiritual and physi- cal welfare, the guidance of our careers — these and countless other services have been performed for us by the Administration throughout our four years at Salve Regina College. Although we are unaware of the many problems encountered and resolved in our behalf, of the countless hours spent in planning and organizing, we are deeply grateful for the efforts and accom- plishments of the Sisters who have daily worked and prayed for us.

The ideal of Catholic priesthood and inspiring leadership is realized in Rhode Island ' s revered Bishop and Salve Regina ' s gracious friend, His Excellency Russell J. McVinney, D.D. Our Bis- hop ' s services to the Church and to the general good of our State cannot be measured in words. His endeavors are many, and not the least among them is his interest in our growth and development. His presence at our most important academic functions demonstrates his kindly attitude and his fatherly solicitude for us as Catholic college stu- dents. In this the 1956 issue of REGINA MARIS we pay sincere tribute to our spiritual leader, realizing that through his constant efforts our lives as Catholic citizens of Rhode Island are strength- ened and ennobled.

f Reverend John Shea, A.B., in his own serene way brings the great truths of religion home to our hearts. The study of God and of all things related to Him becomes vitalized through Father ' s sincere and Christ-like presentation. A teacher ' s duties are more or less taken for granted. From our side of the desk the task of imparting knowledge seems comparatively easy. The hum-drum of the classroom is not so easily recognized when we find ourselves overwhelmed with assignments, analyses and reading lists. But there is another side to the picture. T xey Reflect the Ways of God Reverend Irving A. Georges, O.P., M.A., S.T.Lr., S.T.B., has given himself most generously to our spiritual, aca- demic and social welfare. Theology, Ethics, and even Logic become meaningful in Father ' s classes. In the mature perspective which we have ac- quired, we see our faculty in another light. They have given much more than knowledge and book learning. Their essential contribution to our edu- cation lies in the inspiration for utilizing the hidden reserves of sacrifice, and for ordering our lives according to God ' s will. It is for this that we are grateful. 12
