On Monday. October 16, Sister Teresa
Marie celebrated her twentieth feast day
as Dean or Nazareth College. Surrounded
on every hand by evidence of her unfail­ing
devotion to the highest type of Cath·
olic education, it was apparent that the his·
tory o ( t he college is the history of the
Dean, and t hat the work of her past ~wen­ty
ycnJ'll has marked a milestone in Cath·
olic education in the Rochester diocese.
Nazareth had its humble beginnings
when, in the fall of 1924 Archbishop
Hickey commi.sioned the Sisters of Saint
Joseph to undertake the founding of a col­lege
for Catholic young women, and the
following sprirg the Department of Edu­cation
at Albany ga"e ita approval to the
plan. The .. Glass House/' famous in song
and story of Nazareth, was the stately old
Rouse home purchased by the SisteJ·s or
Saint Jo•eph lor the opening of the col·
lege. Twenty-five students were p1·esent ut
the opening Mass September 24, 1924, t he
chapel bei ng u room set aside on the t hil·d
floor fo•· this pu1·pose.
F.ven !•·om the lh'St no effort or expense
wa• Hpnred to make both faculty and equip­ment
the best :hat could be obtained. Naz.
areth conformed to the standards set by
more elaborat(ly endowed institutions. By
Act of the Legi•lature of the State of New
York on Mard 26. 1927, Nazareth College
wM incorporated .gaining its power to
grant degrees directly from the State Leg­islature
and net merely from the Board or
Regents of the University of the State or
New York.
It wa• hoped that the Augustine Street
eampu• would be but a temporm·y one,
thot some day a permanent s ite befitting
in dignity and beauty the work carried on
by Si •ter Terem Marie and other member•
of the faculty, would be provided. But un­fo•
·tunatcly the dark •hadows of the de­preAAion
clouded the horizon for many
yeaN, cauoing the college to struggle gai.
lantly for iu- ·.·ery existence, and exacting
the utmost from the little group of nuns
in o•·der to prE•erve the ideal of a Catholic
college which would serve the young wom­en
of the Rochester diocese.
Plans !or the new buildings were finally
d•·nwn up in 1037, but it was not until the
winte1· of 1942 that the fac ulty nnd •tu·
dents of Noz~ •·eth moved to t he pre•cnt
spaciou• buil<'ings outside of P ittsfo•·d,
New York.
Fo1· twenty long years Sister Teresn
Marie ha. been Dean of Nazareth College.
~·or twenty long years she has watched it
grow, •tone '>Y stone and building by
building. They have been hard years, years
wintered in the struggle of the original
founding, scor~hed by the adversities of a
national deprEssion, flooded b)· numerous
disappointments, but brought to the rich
and bountiful harvest of the present by
our beloved Dean's implicit faith in God
ond persistence in her drean1 of higher
educution !or Catholic young women.

NAZARETH CELEBBRA TES TWENTIETH
ANNIVERSARY OF ITS FOUNDING
On Sunday, September 24, Nazareth Col.
lege of Rochester celebrated its twentieth
birthday. Highlight of the occasion was the
Pontifical High Mass celebrnted by the
Most Reverend J ames E. Kearney, D. D.,
assisted by t he Rig ht Reverend Monsignori
Wm. M. Har t, V. G., Wm. F. Bcrgnn and
George V. Burns, and t he Reverends Flo•··
liCk, Lyons, Casey and Lintz.
About two hundred alumnae of the col­lege
were present at the .Mass and at the
nnnive""ary dinner which followed. After
the dinner, Reverend Edward J. Lintz, the
toa~tmaster. introduced the speakei'O'.
Guest speaker for the occasion was the
Re,•erend Timothy J . Coughlin, S. J., presi­dent
of Canisius College. Father Coughlin
•poke of modern education, stressing in
pnrticular the contrast between sccula1·
education and t he training or Catholic
young women as exemplified by Nazm·eth
College for t he past twenty years. 'fhCJ·e
ha. been paganism in politics nnd govern·
ment for the past quarter of n century, he
said, because there has been paganism in
the class•·oom. When the moral system i•
declat·ed but a myth, all stability disap·
pears. But, he concluded, unity is not gone
from Catholic education for Catholici•m is
a culture as well as a creed.
The Reverend Louis J. Edelman, first
prore. .•. or of Scripture at the old College,
told of the earl)' days in the "Glass
House"; Mrs. Evelyn Regan McG•·ath re­counted
the activities of the first class to
g•·aduate from Nazareth; nnd Mrs. Lilian
Ro•senbach Boyce, president of the Alum­nne
Association, an nounced that each of

bond to the school before next Mny.

for twent)• years, was then called upon to
speak a few words to her friends and !or­mer
student... With •imple and sincere dig.
nil)' •he thanked them for their kindne•s
and gener~ity to the college. Bishop Kear­ney,
in his talk on the "Higher Realms of
Education.'' summed up and concluded the
•1>eeches.
A• the final treat of the afternoon,
Shnkespeare's uAs You Like It" wns pre­sented
by a g•·oup of Nazareth students in
the natu•·al out-door theatre.

FOR NOW AND FOR EVER
Twenty years! That's as far back as some of us can remember.
Yet it's an infinitesimal amount of time compared to the years past and
those to come. It's even a short time in the span of an institution; yet
for Nazareth College it's a milestone.
These past twenty years since the Sisters of St. Joseph opened the
doors of Nazareth College in the Glass House down on Lake Avenue,
to the present, have been eventful years for our schooL Disappoint­ments,
joys, successes and failures have marked those years.
From the Glass House, the college was moved to Augustine Stt·eot,
to the site of the old Mother House of St. J oseph's Community. That
famous front hall whet·e everyone met everyone else sometime during
the course of the day; and the old assembly room, general room about
school-meetings, dances, assemblies--a truly versatile twenty by t hit·­ty!
... the beautiful grounds and the May Days held in the woods ...
of course, let's not fot·get that wonderful neighbor, just brimming over
with womankind's most scarce commodity at the present-Aquinas !
On a rainy slushy day of January 1942, the Nazarene Collegians
moved their bags and books to our present East Avenue campus. (I
imagine that the campus was rather a sorry sight with the mud, sleet
and gloom.) But that Nazareth spirit which had permeated the old halls
on Augustine Street soon found its way into the newly plastered con·i­dors
of out· pt·esent abode.
But aside from the wonderful memories of the past twenty years,
the ideals and spiritual wealth that have been infused into the minds
and heat·ts of the Nazarenes--God and the Things of God-are above
measurement in terms of years--they at·e for eternity.
For our beloved Dean and the members of the faculty who have
been with the college since its beginning, a feeling of great joy and sat­isfaction
must have been abounding in their hearts on that Sunday just
a few weeks ago which marked the twentieth anniversary of our Alma
Mater.
Let's offer a prayer for om· Dean and faculty who have guided us
through our first twenty years. Ask God to inspire and help them and to
send His blessings to Nazareth and to make it a symbol of truth and
light for generations to come.
GLEANER INAUGURATES NEW POLICY;
INVITES STUDENT PARTICIPATION
Here is the first edition of your Gleaner for 1944-1945 .
Undoubtedly those familiar with former editions have already no­ticed
that changes have been made this year. We, the editors and staff
of the Gleaner, are submitting this initial copy for your approvaL We
know that you want our paper to be tops among collegiate publications.
In our opinion, the changes that have been made will help raise even
higher the already fine standing of Nazareth College's paper.
However, a newspaper is successful only when its readers are sat­isfied.
We want our efforts to meet with success, and the only way we
can know if we are accomplishing our purpose is by your expressed
opinion. A newspaper feels the pulse of its readers through their "let­ters
to the editor." This feature is the clearing house for compliments
and complaints, arguments and ideas. In each issue of the Gleaner we
are going to devote considerable space to your letters to us. We want
you to tell us what you like about this year's Gleaner, and, just as im­portant,
what you do not like. Constructive criticism will be welcome.
However, you need not limit your discussion to this particular to pic.
Let us know what you think about current issues and events both on the
campus and in the world about us. We will print a numbet· of those
which we feel are of greatest general interest to Nazareth girls, and
others which constitute a challenge to be answered by fellow students.
These "letters to the editor" form a section which belongs exclu­sively
to the readers. It is you who are the editors and reportet·s, and
the opinions and stories printed will be your own. No formalities are
demanded except that every contribution bear a signatu r e. If your let­ter
is to be printed and for some reason you do not wish to have your
name appear, your wishes will be respected. Any letters may be left in
the Gleaner room at any time.
We want to see some real Nazareth spirit in this matter! We want
so many letters that we won't know which ones to print. We want you
tot be an active member, as well as reader. of the Gleaner.
Will you cooperate?
Here it is practically November, except for a few lazy days, and
we've been back at Nazareth for six weeks. Our bookcases are filled
with those beautiful new text books we bought in September. That layer
of dust though, is making them resemble the ancients scripts.
But mid terms are not far away and surprise quizzes are a lways
popping up from nowhet·e. You've got to approach them some time even
if it's only to pack them away next May, so why not use them now.
Books need bookworms!
Although the spirit of the American people today is very optimis­tic,
the war is stil_l far from won. And as long as there is fighting, there
will be wounded soldiers. Some one very close to you, no doubt, is in
this struggle for freedom. What are you doing for him? One very effec­tive
way to aid him is to give your blood. Look at your paper tonight and
see the list of casualties. Think of the extensive area to which blood
plasma is sent and of the great need of it, then call up the Red C'mss
and make an appointment today!
"Even though it is more blessed to give
than to receive, we feel we were mighty
blessed to be able to receive, and if the
wills of the nations were as magnificnt as
the wills of the nationals, out· benefactors,
what a futile effort would the war·monger.
of the future be put to in ordrr to 1lir up
business."
From TO THESE WE ARE D~:RTORS I

SOPHS RAISE THE
JOLLY ROGER
Thursday, October 5, was a day of vic­tory
for the Pirate Sophomores. This was
Initiation Day, the day when the Fresh­men
were captured and "tortured" by the
pirates of the Sophomore class. The Fresh­men,
dressed in an incongruous array of
sacks, t ut kish towels, rags, kerchieves and
earrings, were thoroughly drilled in school
etiquette, t hat is, they were taught what to
do and what not to do, "the hard way."
But the utorture" was soon over and the
two classes renewed their friendship at a
tea in the gym in the afternoon.
The committees for the tea were as fol­lows:
Honorary Chairman: Alice Foley.
Reception Committee : Chairman, Mary
Margaret Kellick, Eleanor Humphrey, Bet­ty
Mulcahy, Cynthia Smith, Nancy Herron,
Alyce Madden.
Clean-Up Committee : Chairman, Cath­erine
Berry, J ane O'Brien, Marina La

THE GLE ANE R 3
LET'S GO CLUBBIN'
The Senior Music Students had the priv­ilege
of joining t he members of the New
York State School Music Association in its
third annual clinic for directors held at the
Syracuse Hotel in Syracuse, August 29-31.
The directors who attend form them­selves
into a band, an orchestra and a
chorus in order to read through newly pub­lished
wot·ds and thereby acquaint them­selves
with their values and possibilities
for school use. The three organizations are
dit·ected by various members of the Asso­ciation
and also by visiting composers and
arrangers.
Subjects such as grade school vocal and
instrumental music, secondary school vocal
and instrumental music and Music appre­ciation
were discussed as a vital part of
the program. The members of t he Associa­tion
became acquainted with the work of
the New York State Catholic Music Educa­tion
Association. This was made known by
a paper given by our own Sister Kathleen,
Executive Secretary for New York State,.
whose speech was most outstanding and a
credit to Nazareth College.
Following Sister Kathleen's talk we heard
papers by the following : Dr. Carter, State
Supervisor of Music; Dr. Larson, Head of
Music Education, Eastman School; Mr. Al­fred
Spouse, Director of Music for Roch­ester
Public Schools.
Many nuns were in attendance from
various parts of t he State. It was our priv­ilege
to be the only Catholic College rep­resented
in student teachers. We will al­ways
remember the grand welcome we re­ceived
as a result of Sister Kathleen's many
contacts. The courtesy shown by these peo­ple
made us feel as though we were taking
an active and vital part in the progt·am.
The Music Club had its first meeting Sep­tember
28 in the Music Hall. Betty Keegan,
President, made the meeting very much
alive and inter esting to its members. T he
Seniors told of their experiences at the
Summer Clinic at Syracuse. Sister Kathleen
gave a few helps and suggestions which we
feel will make t he year more profitable. Ac­tivities
for the year were d iscussed. The
members and President decided on the fol­lowing:
Lectures, Symposium forums, re­citals,
supper meeting and social meetings.
The Music Department is proud to have
such a livcwire organization.
An interesting year is in store for all the
potential social workers of Nazareth. A
varied program has been planned for the
club this year by "Honey" Meisenzahl,
president and Mat·g McDermott, secretar y­treasurer
, with suggestions and hints from
the members of the club.
The initial meeting is to be a general
meeting followed by a discussion of the
topic "What is Social Work?" by Honey
Meisenzahl, Daisy Welch, Martha Sheedy
and Clare Ellen Mogenhan.
It has been planned to invite the editor
of "The Voice," the Rochester Negro pub­lication,
for a guest speaker at a supper
club meeting sometime in November.
Field trips and social affairs are two
Prominent features for the club's coming
activities for the year.
The students and faculty of Naz­areth
College wish to extend their
sympathy to Teresa Gallaghet• and
Mary Catherine Wheeland in their
recent lO$S of a beloved parent.

"Pleasant Day- - -
Point Pleasant"
Freshman Day, the day when the Juniors
donned the habits of guardian angels and
assumed t he roles of big sisters, has gone
by but "the memory lingers on."
Following the t heme of big s ister, guard­ian
angels watching over little sister, cher­ubs,
the whole day under the general d irec­t
ion of Jeanne Lennon, J unior class presi­dent,
was a huge success.
The newly acquainted re latives relaxed
together by the blue waters of the Ironde­quoit
and enjoyed the wholesome food of
the Point Pleasant Hotel. Adding much to
the enjoyment of the day was the presence
of Daisy Welch, Dottie Wegman, Jean
Foley, Pat O'Grady and Alice Foley. A
swell time was had by all and not a few
went away say·ing it was "heavenJy."
HELD DAY
Field Day this year was a gala occasion
for the students and faculty of Nazareth
College. Ice cream, pop. hot-dogs, and cake
helped to satisfy many a keen appetite.
The various concessions did a thrilling
business, with eager customers-A "bot"
in one hand, and a ball or pennies in the
other, testing their skill or disproving the
law of chance. The most popular person of
t he afternoon was the fortune-teller. Many
a girl was surprised to find her deepest
secrets an open book to thi~ all wise, all
knowing sage. The climax of the afternoon
came with t he "battle of t he century"­t
he baseball game between the faculty and
t he students. The male faculty n1embers
being in the minority, recruits were eon.
scripted to boast their depleted ranks.
All this fun and frolic resulted from t he
combined efforts of Ruth Stutchbury and
Dorothy Wehner as co-chairmen of the
Field Day plans, together with the help of
Kay Tcmmerman, Helen Murrer, Margaret
Fiest, Rita Bettner, Ann Brennan, Yvonne
Frey, Margaret Owen, Rita Davis and Pat
Marks on the arrangements committee.
Madeline Nucitelli and Alyce Madden were
on the poster commi ttee; Georgia Conner,
Alice Bryan, Betty Bradley, Mary Dedic,
Rosemary Mascari, Mary Ann Ludwig,
Anne Marie Stauffer, Betty Thompson,
Fawn Scheffel, Marina La Nasa and Ann
McLaughlin were on t he ticket committee.
P S - In case you're interested the for­tune
teller was Claire Yarter.
The t..ain was a cross-country alTair t hat
stopped at all stations and frequently sev­eral
times in between. Towat·d the end of
a very long journey the conductor came
around
"Look here, sit·," he said to one of the
passengers as he examined his tickets, "that
boy is too big to travel half-fare."
7. The winner will be announced in the
next issue of the Gleane1· and will be
awarded a prize. "Is he reafly?" replied the passenger
will be quietly. "Well, he was small enough when
we started."
From thenceforth, our mascot
known by this winning name.

Brief as it seems on paper, this remark
took some time to make its way to the back
of the bus. When t he excited comments
had gone their rounds there was a slight
commotion in the last seat.
"I think I'd better get off if we're going

quavered Mary Marg Kellick.
Spirits dampened by the loss of an en­t

A man's voice e.alled, "this way, girls"
and its owner disappeared around a cor­ner,
beneath a framework of scaffold ing
and <atwAih, throu&'h a narrow doorway,
and up half a dozen rickety steps.
So this was a cannery! Endless belts of
mu5hy tomatoes creeping toward the
shrieking machines, those Att·opos of t he
vegetable world; lights flashing; machinery
grumbling; men shouting.
Under the watchful eyes of the hundred
or so women already working, aprons were
adjusted, knives tied to them with strings.
The height of something or other was es­tablished
by Jane Audrey Thurston with
bright red and blue plaid shoes peepinv..
from beneath a slimy brown coverall fur­nished
by Sniders. But with n little expert
instruction the Nazareth girls were cutting
the spots out of tomatoes as well as any­one.
"Where you from?" the woman across
from Betty Cloonan wanted to know. "Naz­areth,
eh? We got girls up there from Mt.
Morris. Maybe you know them, yes?"
too, when speaking of the barn dance.
"lift. Morris?" Betty shrieked above the
rattle of machines and the splash of to­matoes.
"Sure! Thct·e's Angie Montesano
and the O'Learys and Pat Michel. And did
you know Ellen Flynn?"
A fireman's convention was no less jovial
than the scene that followed. "Hey, these
girls know Angie and the Flynn girl and
Mrs. Michel's daughter!" was passed down
the table. Questions flew back and forth
and work proceeded to the accompaniment
of shouted jokes and songs until someone
yelled, "Come on girls, time for lunch!"
It's one thing to put on un apron clean
from the office and quite another tc climb
back into a cold, clammy rubber sheath,
take up a knife wet with tomato paste and
held by a sodden string.
The tomatoes soon started rolhng by
again, much to Jane Earley's chagrin. Poor
Jane carved cach fruit as loving!~ as if
she were sculpturing the head of Lincoln.
Then when the tomataes had piled up in
front of her someone would shout the or­der
"Push 'em up.'' Tomatoes went sliding
by, smacking into each other and into the
side of the table, spurting juice high into
the ail·. Jane wiped the goo from her fnce
and patiently started to work again, cov­ertly
asking Marne Kinney, "What time is
it, Mame?"
But lltame was having her own difficul­ties.
"My gosh, I lost my knife! It must
have dt•opped down on the conveyor." A
grinding shudder shook the machinery.
"Oh, oh, there it goes now. Too bad, la­dies."
In n few minutes Marne was back from
the office with a smirk on her face. "Gee,
he tried to charge me a quarter for that
old knife, but I told him I didn't want to
pay for it so he said it was 0. K. this time."
The rest of the afternoon pa£sed un­eventfully
to the slush, slush, slush of to­matoes
being thrown on the table.
At three o'clock thirty-five girls with to­matoes
in their hair, tomatoes in their
shoes, tomatoes up their sleeves, piled
thankfully into the bus and s£nk into
seats.
