(Continued on page 4, column 5) Requiescat In Pace In the fading: hours (if night when today creeps into tomorrow, God claimed for His own a soul he had lent to us. In the cloister of the College she helped to found, surrounded by the Sisters she loved, Sister Mary Justitia left Mundelein for the last time. And as the chant of the softly uttered prayers centuries old reverberated against marble walls, we knew this was the only time Sister was glad to leave her beloved College. But in the hearts of her Faculty, her students, and her alumnae, Sister Mary Justitia can never leave Mundelein. Those of us who knew her by reputation realize that the devotion to ideals that was hers is Mundelein's. Those of us who worked with her know that the unflagging zeal that was hers is Mundelein's. Those of us who were privileged to know her are aware that the love, sacrifice, and devotion that were hers are Mundelein's. Built on the eve of depression, nurtured through the chaos of re covery, ennobled by the sufferings of the world's greatest war. Mun delein is today the world's largest Catholic college for women and one of the greatest. Seventeen short years ago Sister Mary Justitia shared a dream of a new and different college dedicated to the higher education of women. And Sister Mary Justitia spared no effort to exchange that dream for a reality. An era has ended at Mundelein with Sister Mary Justitia's death an era resplendent with the challenge of the new and accentuated with the sense of the eternal. But a new era is beginning an era which will utilize the firm foundation of the past as p. stepping stone to the future. New generations of students will come to Mundelein; new buildings will rise; new members of the Faculty will take the place of the old. But the guiding touch of a hand sanctified in His service will be pointing the way. Sister Mary Justitia has gone home. And as she knelt before the throne of the beautiful lady whose habit she wore in life, Sister Mary Justitia must have received a very special smile while a chorus of hea venly angels re-echoed the Master's words, Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Jayne King '45 Announce Upper, Lower Division Student Retreats For the first time in the history of the College there will be tvvo student retreats, in order to proyide for the size of the student body and the variant needs of upper and lower division students.
