New President Challenges Classes At Convocation Was Formerly Dean at Clarke College, Also Provincial Superior We may not stand alone. Every life consciously or unconsciously exerts an influence that is felt in time and in eternity. What your influence will be will depend upon how well and how deeply you have made your own the priceless treasures of mind and heart and will which you may acquire in your college days. With these words, Sister Mary Jose phine, B.V.M., recently appointed Presi dent of Mundelein College, climaxed her Sept. 25 address to the students. Giving a specific challenge to each of the four classes, Sister Mary Jose phine urged the seniors to view their final year at Mundelein as a labora tory of leadership, wherein they put into practice the principles of right order, cooperation, truth, justice, and charity acquired in their college days. Suggests Attitude Test For the juniors, Sister observed, who have entered upon a period of academic concentration, it is a year in which convictions are crystallized, a year of testing attitudes for their con formity with religious beliefs and obli gations. For the sophomores, Sister Mary Josephine continued, the year is one of self-appraisal, of broadening vision, i- i establishing norms, of awakening new interests and expanding them so they will be a permanent stimulus to cultural development. For the freshmen, Sister noted, col lege holds out a wealth of intellectual and spiritual treasures on which they may draw deeply, enriching their own lives and developing the power to in fluence for good. Counsels Study, Prayer With study and prayer, Sister con cluded, youth today can prepare to meet the challenge of the present and the future, and to transform cha otic social conditions into that state of peace and harmony for which the human heart is made. Sisttr Mary Josephine, who holds a Master's degree from the University of Wisconsin and who has done research in religion and education at the Catho lic University of America, was dean at Clarke college until her appointment last year to the office of Provincial Su perior of the Sisters of Charity, B.V.M. She succeeds in office Sister Mary Justitia, B.V.M., who, in August, fin ished her second term of office as Presi dent at Mundelein. Appointed in 1930 when the College was opened, Sister Mary Justitia, during her two admin istrations, saw the College triple its en rollment and gain academic recognition.
