Columkille As a glance will show, the growth of lncarnate Word College during the thirties, forties, and fifties has been phenomenal. New buildings have been erected, programs have been expanded, and new programs initiated, and the enrollment has reached an all-time high, with almost one thou- sand students drawn from thirty-five states and twelve countries outside the continental United States. A highly qualified and dedicated faculty composed of Sisters of Charity of the lncarnate Word, priests, and laymen and women guide and instruct these young people. Mother Columkille has always been very cognizant of the truth that no one can do anything well in life without an ideal, whose purpose is not to propose something that we can actually attain, but rather serves as a bright star in the heavens to guide us and lead to its home. She, therefore, has al- ways upheld to her faculty and students the ideal of the liberally educated woman. For this reason, lncarnate Word College has always aimed at teaching the whole person, intellect, will, emotions, sense, imagination, aesthetic sensibilities, memory, and powers of expression. lt seeks to lift up the individual's whole being to that broad spiritual outlook on life whereby he not only understands and appreciates the fact that our whole social heritage is bound up with the Truth, Beauty, and Good- ness of God as seen in Revelation, Nature, Art, and Language, but is likewise willing and ready to become identified with those activities that make for the sanctification of the individual and the bet- terment of society. Mother Columkille has always stressed that the ideal college education should prepare the young person to live - physically, mentally, and spiritually - up to his or her fullest capacity. The education which she has always conceived is a truly liberal education. In sincere gratitude and appreciation for the educational opportunities made available to this gen- eration of students as well as to past generations, and with sentiments of respect and admiration, we dedicate to you, MOTHER M. COLUMKILLE, the T960 issue of the LOGOS. We add to this dedi- cation our added appreciation that the first issue of the LOGOS was made available in 1923, the first year of your office as President of lncarnate Word College. DR. AND MRS. S. THOMAS GREENBURG, and little daughter, JOYCE, pose for this picture on the morning of the Presidential Convocation, February 3, 1960.

Following the Convocation in the College auditorium introducing the new presi- dent to the student body, Mother Columkille greets Dr. S. Thomas Greenburg. THIRTY-SEVEN YEARS OF DEDICATION TO AN IDEAL On February 2, 19bO, we, the students of Incarnate Word College, were apprised of the appoint- ment of Mother M. Columkille, President of the college from September, 1923, to February, 1960, to the office of President of the Board of Directors. We also learned of the appointment of' Dr. S. Thomas Greenburg, former Vice-president of the college, to the office of President, replacing Mother M' C I . . . . . oumkrlle. Both appointments mark a very special milestone in the growth and development of Incarnate Word College. Cn the morning of February 3, 1960 as we listened to the new President's s eech of acce t- , P P ance, and heard him recount briefly the achievements of Mother Columkille during the thirty-seven years of her presidency, many of us became aware, for the first time, of the gigantic task carried to the very pinnacle of success during that time. Few of us can conjure up a picture of thirty-seven years, except, perhaps through the eyes of our parents, and even then we must draw heavily upon our imagination which is in reality the bright picture of the stage not yet reached. What we really need here is history and in its pages we find the true facts. When Mother Columkille, then a very young administrator, fresh from a university program of classical studies, was appointed President of Incarnate Word College, she accepted, with perhaps some trepidation, the challenge to guide the destiny of this young institution. The world had re- covered somewhat from the lash of the First World War, and as many could then see, was heading straight into the worst Depression in history. But before that Depression had struck its leveling blow at colleges and universities throughout the country, Mother Columkille had placed Incarnate Word College on the e b h' ' ' m m ers rp rosters of State, Regional, and National Accrediting Agencies. Through the difficult years of 1928-34, when many found it impossible to remain in school, the doors of Incarnate Word C ll o ege were open to all qualified young women, regardless of race, creed, or fi- nancial conditions. And even during that period, three new buildings were erected to care for the growing enrollment - Dubuis Hall, the.Auditorium, and the Education Hall. lt was during that pe- riod, also, that Incarnate Word College secured that prize distinction of being placed on the member- ship list of the Association of American Universities.

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 . . .
