The story of The National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, located in Wash- ington, D.C., on the campus of the Catholic University of America, rightly begins with the selection of Mary as Pa- troness of the United States, l i4 years ago. At the Coun- cil of Baltimore in l846, the Hierarchy of this country, an- ticipating the formal decree issued later by Pope Pius IX, placed our country under the patronage of Mary immacu- late. Even at that early date plans for a magnificent Catholic Church To be built at Washington, something after The style of the cathedrals of the Old World . . . were in the discussion stage. But more than 60 years passed before action was taken. ln 1910, Bishop Thomas J. Shahan, Fourth Rector of the Catholic University of America made confident ref- erence to the Catholic gen- erosity which in the future will build . . . the glorious Temple that will one day be . . . an incomparable mouth- piece of religion . . .

AIR VIEW OF THE MAIN CAMPUS LOCATED on 200 acres in the beautiful residential area adjoining Alamo Heights, lncarnate Word College has one of the most at- tractive campuses in the South- west. Eighteen buildings constitute the facilities for classrooms, dormi- tories, library, laboratories, and others. Six of these buildings have been completed and opened in the last decade to meet the in- creased demand for facilities in proportion to the growing enroll- ment. The latest addition is the beauti- ful Marian Hall, completed on the eve of the Fabulous Sixties, which provides the very finest type of dormitory living as well as serv- ing as a student center for all stu- dents. Since its dedication occurred in the beginning of the Sixties we attribute it to this decade. lncarnate Word College enters the Sixties with a long-range plan for continued expansion. First on the list is the Katherine A. Ryan Child Center, to be completed in the fall of 1960. Then will follow a college Chapel, also to be com- pleted this year. i.w.c. cAMPus AS ttf 'k'k'k'ki k'ki'k'k Administration and faculty are very cognizant of the fact that the physical en- vironment of the student during her years in college is an important factor in her educational experience. Supervised living in comfortable, beautiful surroundings, the opportunity to live with other students, share their experiences, and form lasting friendships - these are all part of the residential life on the lncarnate Word College campus.
