To the Alumnae Dear Alumnae:

Science Building

Fund Sister Teresa Patricia, S.N.D.,

President of our Alma Mater, recent­ly announced the organization of the Emmanuel College Building Fund under the chairmanship of His Ex­cellency, the Most Reverend Arch­bishop Richard J. Cushing, D.D. The immediate objective of the fund is the raising of of $800,000 for the con­struction of a new Science Building which will fill a definite need.

Our College has grown tremendous­ly as the figures on enrollment re­veal. In 1920 only 29 students were registered while, at the present time, the student body numbers' 647 with every indication of a steady increase in the future. The accomplishments of Emmanuel's 1500 alumnae in busi­ness, law, medicine, teaching, social r science, and other professions bear testimony to the quality of the aca­demic training received, a training reinforced with the principles of our Catholic faith.

The familiar Gothic structure in the F enway is now extremely over­crowded and its facilities greatly overtaxed. A new building i:; all absolute necessity. Let us as alumnae be glad of the opportunity that is

We thank you, and we kno v you will continue to give that same enthusiastic response to your newly-elected officers.

Work for and subscribe to the Building Fund. Interest others in it, and do everything you can to make it successful. Our College needs our assistance, and our beloved Arch­bishop Cushing, the chairman of the Fund, has expressed his confidence in our ability to reach the goal. The erection of a science building will mean so much to the future of Emmanuel, and our sharing in the furthelance of this great project will be an outward expression of our de­votion to our Alma Mater.

Editorial In this issue we pay tribute to the

members of our Alumnae Association who are in the services which minister to the armed forces, We are proud of them, proud of them as women and as sister Alumnae.

As we go to press the long awaited news of victory in Europe has come. After we have given thanks, we must all surely pause to t hink soberly and gratefully of the millions of men and women in service whose work and sacrifice made possible the victory. Among them are tho::J Emmanuel graduates who, serving at home or abroad in office or in hospital, wher­ever assigned, are giving to the tasks before them all of the knowledge, strength, and devotion they possess that the final victory may the sooner be won.

To each of them we say, "You have our thanks and our prayers."

A diamond ring, valued at $3000, t he gift of Archbishop Cushing to t he Alumnae, will be the object of our attention for the next six months , This gift has given us an oppor­tunity and a challenge, too, to show our degree of interest in the new Science Building, You have received a book which provides for donation to the amount of two dollars ($2,00). Fill this one and get another! Do this again and again until you have reached 10. Then you will merit the Emmanuel "E." .

At a tea in the fall, the Archbishop will present an emblem to those who fill 10 books. You'll be Emmanuel's "400·." To the grand person who leads us in the collection of donations will be g iven an "E" in diamonds.

Your district chairman has extra books. She will call on you by June 1. People are clamoring for the opportunity to donate. It is going to be easy to ask for "three for 25 cents" on a $3000 diamond-try it­you'll see!

Wear the Emmanuel "E!" Be one of the "400!"

EMMANUEL ALUMNAE NEWS Page Three

SAN FRANCI CO AND THE PEACE earnestly entreat you to give them a sober hearing:

(At the recent Congress of the League of Catholic Women, a talk, from which this is an excerpt, was given on the above theme by the Very Rev. John J . Wright, D. D., Spiritual Director of the League. We are sincerely grateful to Monsig­nor Wright for his kindness in per­mitting the NEWS to bring to the Alumnae this timely and most inspir­ing message.)

The opening sentence of the his­toric statement of the American hier­archy, issued November 16, 1944, has this week assumed a special rele­vance with the news of the military victory in Europe·. That statement begins: "We have met the challenge of war. Shall we meet the challenge of peace?"

There is, of course, a war still fac­ing us. We are told that it is a very serious war; it well may be. But it is easy, very easy, as contrasted with the work that remains to be done and the battle that remains to be fought on the European front in order to restore peace and the con­ditions in which peace can abide .. .

The first and most fundamental stratagem which we must devise in the campaign for peace is one which will bind up the wounds of war, bind up those wounds on every side Many people do not believe that or, they talk at least, as if they did not. Though once opposed to isolationism as an effort to isolate us from thc War, they now appear to believe it possible for us to isolate ourselves from the consequences of the War, at least as these tragic consequences have affected the vanquished nations. There is a marked tendency to be­lieve that the vanquished can be left to "stew in their own juice for awhile", to quote the somewhat im­politic phrase of the political leader of one of our Allies.

Outside the Catholic Church, very few seem to appreciate in any lively and permanent way the powerful ties which, despite the War, still unite us to the members of all the Western nations, victor or vanquished. Some of these ties, natural and super­natural, material and moral, the War could not destroy and the peace can­not. There are, of course, outside the Church, many who try to cling to that realism, a realism which is dismissed as sentimental idealism by the rest. The Quaker!i perceive its truth, but, heroic band though they be, they are a little flock, indeed. Some sensitive souls still concede it whose religion has not gone political or, as the fashion at the moment is to say, Democratic; or whose faith has not been seduced by Communism, or conscripted by Fascism, or mobil­ized by Imperialism.

Even among Catholics, lamentably enough, not all retain a practical be­lief in the ties that still bind us to our enemies, ties that ha"e this day become the greater now that our ene­mies are vanquished. Some Catho-

lics cho us the demand that the peace be con eived in hatred because of sad per onal reasons, as the loss of kin or ear ones. With these we can only sy pathize and try to be under­standin. Others ask a peace based on hatr d because of a strong but dis torte sense of what they would call a tern and realistic prepared­ness. ese we can only seek to control, for their brand of realism may eas ly poison the new-born hope the Sa Francisco parleys give us that SOl e measure of idealism may yet be a hieved in international rela­tions.

Whate er the reasons in the heads of those who are being vic­

y the hatred campaigners abroad, we can agree with them. We Catholics must peace; we must work for

peace w th the decent everywhere. And we ust not permit ourselves to forget, f l' however brief a moment, that the e are decent people every­where. f there are not, then San

and all kindred gatherings as well adjourn. e beginning of the War,­

indeed, ince long before it-we Catholics have been asked to pray for peace. I know that I will not be mis­understo d by this audience when I say that prayers for peace are not enough. No peace will ever drop from He ven ready made. God does not non ally intervene miraculously in the so; ia] and political movements by which peace is made possible and the condi ions for peace are created and sust ined. God works through secondar causes, and we must be His inst uments, conscious and un­tiring, if t he world is to be bent to that Will in which is our peace. Too many of s take it for granted that we have one all we need or can do when we ue Heaven for peace in OUl' more 0 .1: .e"" fe r vent prayers. This is not ;merely hopeless politics, it is bad theology. Prayer has its best chance of being efficacious when it is implemented and complemented by consecrated action on the part of those who pray. That is what Pope Leo meant when he bade us pray as if everything depended on God, and work as if everything depended on Us •• •• •

Let not the devout be deceived; no peace will ever drop from Heaven ready made. No less than war, in­deed far more, peace calls for heroic strategy, untiring vigils, generous sacrifice, and an all-out effort. Peace is the 'work of justice; so pro­claims the Holy Father's motto, and the word to be emphasized is the word work.

Something of the magnitude of the work to be done in a spirit of justice before peace will be possible may be gained f rom the differences which are already evident among the Allies who have gathered at San Francisco. One of the greatest difficulties of the moment arises from the question of

the attitude we are to take oward those nations which are, or hortly will be, our erstwhile enemies. Under the pressure of official prop ganda and prevailing popular opinio , it is becoming difficult for sane Am ricans to remember a principle once ihvoked, curiously enough, in our defen e: you cannot indict a nation. T I ere is never any justification for isiting condemnation upon a whole eople. Even though the populations with whom we have been recently t war may have supported actively d de­liberately their guilty leade 'S, we must retain sufficient sanity to recog­nize the circumstances under which however tragically, it was I10ssible for many of them to do so i good faith. It is true that the close y knit corporate character of the llodern national state necessarily imp ses an inevitable share by the innoc nt in the fate of the guilty or the oolish who lead a nation into a crim nal or senseless military escapade but moral guilt remains personal t those who make the decisions whi lead to war and who are in posd on to command obedience, so long a these hold and exercise the national sover­eignty.

In any case, hatred against n en­tire people is suicidal in a ociety where mob psychology plays 0 un­predictable and overpowering role as it does in this age of natio alism and racism. If we sow hatred in the coming peace, we must expect reap it in a later and more horrib war. Christian charity is not mere y the way to save our souls; in th pres­ent state of the world's histor it is also the way to save our neck.

If it be said that the Christ ' n ob­ligation to love our enemies s too idealistic and too difficult, th n we can only reply that Christian' y has never been offered as a cyn "(11 or easy religion. The good Catholic should know that painfully well. It is not easy in its teachings on chas­tity and family morality. It is not easy in its teachings on honesty and loyalty and national morality. And it is not easy in its teachings on in­ternational charity and interracial justice.

"To hope for a decisive change ex­clusively from the shock of war and its final issue is idle, as experience shows The hour of victory is an hour of external triumph for the party to whom victory falls, but it is in equal measure the hour of temp­tation. In this hour the angel of justice strives with the demons of vio­lence; the heart of the victor all too easily is hardened; moderation and far-seeing wisdom appear to him weakness; the excited passions of the people, often inflamed by the sacri­fices and sufferings they have borne, obscure the vision even of respon­sible persons and make them inatten­tive to the warning voice of human­ity and equity, which is overwhelmed or drowned in the inhuman cry, 'Vae victis, woe to the conquered.' There is danger lest settlements and decis­ions born in such conditions be noth­ing else than injustice under the cloak of justice." . . ..

There is another and disturbing danger in the mood of many of those who are exerting their pressure at San Francisco. It is the danger that in the making of the peace we may become the victims of mentalities like to those which we went to war to conquer. We said that we were bent on the destruction of Fascism. We said that this was a war against Fas­cism and all its pomps and works. But Fascism is not just an abusive name we pin on people whom we do not like; it is an easily recognized and easily defined evil. There has been so much blood spilt in the effort to destroy it that we should be in­terested in an effort to define it. Here is one definition, the best I know: Fascism, no matter what t he name by which it calls itself or what the color of its partisans' shirts, is the technique by which a single reso­lute party under ambitious leader­ship, ready to use force and to exploit all the arts of mass suggestion, cap­tures the machinery of government in order to impose its will on the ma­jority. Fascism thus understood de­stroys the political transcendency of the State so that the single ideology of a single party becomes the criter­ion of all legality and morality . . ..

In the light of this definition of Fascism it must be obvious that not all the Fascists died in Milan and

the victory also requires of us. There are consoling indications that this charity exists. It may not be mani­fest among our columnists, our com­mentators, or our armchair strate­gists. Significantly, however, it shines with dramatic beauty from out the ranks of those who have seen war at that close range which might give them greater right, did any such right exist, to nurture hatred. A graduate of Holy Cross College has recently sent home lines which per­fectly blend the soldier's stern ac­ceptance of his brutal task with the Catholic's unsullied spirit of charity. He dedicated his verses to an enemy whom he had shot, and he writes: I killed you; not pretending to be­

lieve That you were enemy to aught but

sin -Unloved, unloving, able to conceive Only the sIaughter that I felled you

in; Not thinking of you more as beast

than man With every urge reducible to lust, Nor as a robot sent by fiendish

dust.

I knew instead : you were the soul God made

Most like Himself after the Cheru­bim,

Brother to One Whose life for ours was paid,

Who bade me love you as myself for Him.

No hatred! As my trigger finger pressed

I loved you. May you find Eternal Rest.

God grant that, whatever programs for compulsory military service may be forced upon us after the War, we may still have free Catholic colleges to preserve the idealism which used to produce young men like this sol­dier-poet! Only by these, and their spiritual kin, can the hatred and we cynicism that is Fascism be de­stroyed; only by t hese can the work of justice be done which finds its fruit in peace.

• ALUMNAE BANQUET
