:? *T ' THE Volu me MUNDELEIN COLLEGE. CHICAGO. ILLINOIS. JUNE 8. 1933 Number 11 MOTHER CLARKE VOTED GREATEST CATHOLIC WOMAN Foundress of Sisters of Char ity, B. V. M., Wins Queen's Work Contest To Mother Mary Frances Clarke, foundress of the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, was awarded the title of the Greatest Catholic Woman of the past century by the 153,732 persons who cast ballots for her in the recent poll sponsored by the Queen's Work. Of the 750.000 votes cast, Mother Mary Frances Clarke received over one-fifth. It was the tremendous educational achievement, her extensive school system and the wide influence of her Sisters, that won for the beloved foundress of the Sisters of Charity this singular hon or. It seems appropriate, too, that in this year of 1933, Mother Clarke should be so honored, for it was just one hundred years ago on All Saints Day in 1833 that the five young women were organized into a religious community, later receiving the title of Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, with Sister Mary Frances Clarke as Superior. Mother Clarke founded the first mis sion in Philadelphia, and later removed the community to Dubuque, Iowa, where the Mother House is still situated. From a little band of five, Mother Clarke's congregation has grown to an organiza tion of almost two thousand women who devote themselves exclusively to the cause of Catholic education. Today their high schools and academies are situated from coast to coast. They have two col leges, Clarke College and Mundelein College.

It is a singular coincidence that the Reverend John Augustine Ryan, profes sor of moral theology and industrial eth ics at the Catholic University, also re ceived an honorary degree at Loyola on June 7, since it was through the inter cession of the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary that women were first adhnittcd to the Catholic University, the result of which admission is the Sis ters' College, established in 1911. To the students of Mundelein College this event is of singular significance, since it is to Mother Isabella and the members of her community that they owe the op portunity of continuing their studies in the college which was founded in 1930 and into which has been put so vast an amount of intellectual and spiritual en ergy.
