No one has written more eloquently regarding woman,s place in Christian society. In Godis design, it is only in the role of motherhood, whether it be physical or spiritual, that woman finds the completion of her feminine personality. She fulfills 'her mission of bringing the world back to Christ through the apostolate of truth, love, and action. This threefold apostolate the Class of 1959 has crystallized in the form of a symbol. The foundation represents the knowledge through which the intellect discovers divine and human truth. From this rises the towerlike structure of truth which is the strength of her activities. Knowing God and His truths inspires the haming love which emanates from the heart and manifests itself in action. The dove represents the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit as He aids in the development of woman,s perfection and the accomplishment of her mission. Action is symbolized by the hand selfiessly extended in universal charity. The intertwining of the apostolate is seen in the simplicity of a line which leads woman directly to her Author and which keeps her activities within the realm of her dignity.
