In a message to the 6500 m e m b e r s of Emmanuel's Alumnae, from the 50 states in the USA and in 40 coun­tries throughout the world, who are to be found in every profession, many of whom are doctors, scientists, law­yers, writers, educators, etc., etc., Sr. Ann Bartholomew, SND, president of the college, said that as it nears the com· pletion of its first half century of service it seems apparent that most lovers of freedom will continue to support Amer­ica's dual system of public and private education. This dualism, said she, far from being wasteful or obsolete, is one of our most powerful tools for national strength with wis­dom.

... Continuing, this widely-known educator, who is a graduate of ~anuel said, "The independent institution is needed today as never before because it provides a necessary indepen­Jence of thought, dedicated scholarship and freedom from pplitical pressure." To this she added-women's colleges con­tinue to be a vital part of the nation's total educational sys-

. tern and provide a balance essential to the expression of the American way of life. But more than this, said Sr Ann Bar­tholomew, they produce educated women who may be con­sidered to be among the nation's greatest resources for peace, stability and leadership.

Discussing some of the numerous challenging present day responsibilities of college presdents Sr. Ann Bartholomew said, despite a student enrollment increase of 57 per cent, Emmanuel continues to provide the same cultural, educational and intel­lectual enterprise of academic excellence developed by Sr. Helen Madeleine and her co-laborers nearly 50 years ago.

. To meet the contemporary needs of its 1463 dynamic stu­dents, Emmanuel has made heroic efforts to expand its quality­oriented educational complex. If it is to continue to make its contribution to the world of higher education, Sr. Ann Bar­tholomew said, the plain fact is - it is dependent as never before upon the financial and moral support of its Alumnae and friends. Emmanuel's Lowell graduates with those through­out the world will answer the call of their Alma Mater this Saturday, .as it proudly dons its crown of gold and with its ad­ministration and faculty launch it into a glorious onward march to its centennial.
