And Its Influence Spreads At Home

Youthful College Grows Student teach ers Besides working for their academic major, srudenrs may obtain a minor in education. Of particular inrerest is rhe reacher training course offered here. Through the cooperation of the Newport Public Schools students begin a period of planned observation in the second semester of their junior year. During the first half of the senior year, the girls work under a supervising teacher in the classroom. A new program will be initiated this year, by which students may train in the senior high as well as in the elementary division of teaching.

Co-curriculum prog r am Nine campus activities enhance the basic course of study: student government, campus forum, sodality, home economics, art, glee club, dramatics, French and Spanish clubs.

Hon or societies Three honor societies motivate and provide public merit for studenrs of the college. The Dean's List, naming vhe top ten ¡p er cenr of each , class, is issued twice duri ng the school year. The bestowal of fourragers takes p lace at Honors Convocation on Mercy D ay.

Twenty students during the past five years have earned membership in Kappa Gamma Pi, an honor society sponsored by the National Catholic Education Association. The purpose of the society is to set a high standard of character, scholarship, and service duri ng coll ege years and in later life. Members of Kappa Gamma Pi are chosen on the honor points ratio, and must be outstanding leaders in all college activities.

Twenty-one young wome n have merited admission into Sigma Phi Sigma, national honor society of Mercy Colleges in the United States.

The society, an outgrowth of the Mercy Educational Conferences, honors lay students on the basis of scholarship, fidel ity, and service. To

but in many parts of the world: Central and South America, Canada, Puerto Rico, China, j:Lpa n, and Africa. There have been 14 students who came fr om foreign countries; 5 have since obtained positions in the United States. Of those girls who ret urned to their native lands, une now works for the Chinese Nationalist Government.

One third of the graduates have carried over rhe ir Christian training into married life. Others have chosen careers in the fields of law, education, nursing, and lay apostolate. One of our recent graduates will enter the Religious Sisters of Mercy in September, 1958. There are also rwo of the forty-five associate members of the alumnae who belong to the Order of Mercy .

Since rhe opening of the college, seven students have become converts.

Mareri:dly, the Alumnae Association benefits the college by providing four full tuition scholarships annually.

Another sphere of the influence of the college is irs extension school. D uring the year, courses are offered in philosophy, theology, library science, music, art and R hode Island Education. For culture, state certification or personal advancement, many persons, especially teachers, enroll for extension classes.

The summer session, which is part of the extension school, holds daily classes, Monday through Friday for six weeks. Courses in art, science, languages, home economics, and music are offered to men and women students. Thus public and parochial schools in the diocese have
