St. 3osepb's Gollege tf1T-x ' I is zzz Me odzfzzncc of ifzdiwidzlal 7'lZ'l1lCZ'S that the slow crowd should grouzzd their aifjvecfatzfoaz cwfzmally to follow. E are told by an eminent educationalist of the last century, that he who leads the mind to new worlds or to new ways of contemplating God and the universe, is a general benefactor, whose life-enlarging in- fluence all who think shall feel. With this principle in mind and with the end in God's keeping, St. .loseph's College in October. 1911, became affiliated with St. Michaels College. thereby making it possible for Catholic young women to receive a University education, and still remain under the salutary in- fluence and in the highly desirable environment of a Catholic Institution, and so it is that St. ,loseph's has shown itself to be in truth the shaping and guiding hand which the tendency of modern times requires, to turn it to the best human purposes and ends. The three years which have elapsed since affiliation with St. Michael's College, have witnessed the development of our University work from its mere embryonic stage, for Miss Mary Agnes Murphy, the pioneer who at that time was look- ing forward to graduation in the dim distant futuref' obtained her degree in Modern Languages in 1914, with Specialist Standing. Miss Murphy has the distinction of being the first graduate in Arts of St. 'Iosephls College, but others have fol- lowed in her footsteps up the rugged path that leads to know- ledge, and this year our College is proud to add to its honour roll, the names of Miss E. .lohnston and Miss M. T. Mc- Sweeney, Graduates in Arts, IQIS. Other delight H1011 to learn, I' know Hof. Miss E. .Iohnston was born in the flourishing town of IYhitby and after having received elementary education in the Separate School of that town, continued her studies in the Collegiate Institute for a few years. But boarding-school life cast its charm over Miss -Iohnston. and for two years, the hall of St. -loseph's, Toronto. resounded with her merry laugh, 34 while the walls of the old-time class rooms are the silent pos- sessors of many a clever remark and original witticism of this exceptionally brilliant young pupil. Having obtained Normal School Entrance standing, Miss Johnston was graduated from St. ,loseph's and thence took a post-graduate course in Latin and Science in the Collegiate Institute at Bradford, Pennsyl- vania. London Normal School was the next seat of learning favoured with Miss 'Iohnston's presence, and although she obtained the highest honours in pedagogy her desire for know- ledge was not appeased, and the Course in Arts, which has just now been successfully completed by her, goes to show that Pliny was right when he said long ages ago, In L'lZCC'l'f'lll7lCSS lim flzc success of our .S'f'Ild'I'f'S.D So nzrcfk, so uzzld, and yor Tllldftld, a fiwfecf tc'omcn1. Our other graduate, Miss Mary T. McSweeney, first smiled upon the hills and vales of picturesque Orillia, where at a very early age she completed her Separate School education, and passed to the more advanced studies of the Collegiate Institute. Orillia Collegiate has always been renowned for its remarkable pupils and indeed it had nothing to regret when its portals opened to receive Miss McSweeney. Having obtained -lunior and Senior Matriculation, and Entrance to the Faculty of Education within the short space of four years, Miss Mc- Sweeney directed her attention to the study of pedagogy, in the Faculty of Education, Training School, Hamilton. I-Iowever, as one of the important ends of education is to render us con- scious of our ignorance, Miss McSweeney felt herself impelled to seek further enlightenment for Hall men have the right to know whatever is true, to love whatever is fair, and to do whatever is good. Miss McSweeney's motto of doing one's best has been brought to bear on her University studies and her Course in Arts has been attended with the same success which her former educational pursuits always met with. fn fzofzzrc. ffzc'ro'.t no l7l'CI'Ztfj' but flzr mizza' doth make it fair. l
