V . - 1 i • V ' Wt Reflect Ctemttp On February 21, 1956, in the Providence and wisdom of God, Sister Mary Emeria, R.S.M., left the affairs and responsibilities of time for the unending joys of eternity. This date marked the end of many years dedicated to the cause of God ' s church and to the promulgation of His - truth among elementary, high school, and college students. The sphere of her influence lay chiefly in an administrative capacity for which her experience in the classroom was an invaluable preparation. Her endeavors in the field of education here at the College were diversified and intensive. First as an instructor in the education department and then as dean, Sister aimed to solidify and augment the curriculum for the student teachers. Her contact with state and city officials in this respect resulted in the further development of an excellent program for observation and teacher training. As the last among the many young people who came within the scope of her assiduous and self-sacrificing attention, we found in her death much that inspired us in our outlook on life and much that gave us pause in the way of appreciation of her untiring efforts in our behalf. Thus in the Regina Maris of 1956 we pay sincere tribute to her memory knowing full well that in the great Light of the City of God Salve Regina is graciously and lovingly remembered.
