First Annual Founder's Day Celebrated at Emmanuel College "Today we celebrate the rich heritage which inspires Emmanuel today and we share in the shaping of Emmanuel's mission for the future," stated Sister Janet Eisner, SND, during her key note address at the President's Colloquium on Founder's Dayan February 2.

Sister Janet provided the context for Founder's Day, underscoring the link between the founding of Emmanuel College and the founding of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. She described the educational vision OfSL Julie Biliian, the realization of that vision in the founding of Emmanuel College in 1919, and the continuation of that vision at Emmanuel today. Excerpts from Sister Janet 's remarks are reprinted in this newsletter.

The panelists addressed their personal experience of Emmanuel's founding mission.

Jennifer Puccelli 'S9praised Emmanuel Collcge for inspiring her active commitment to social justice and human rights and preparing her educationally, emo[ionally and spirit­ually for life after graduation. Jennifer, just returning to the U.S., shared with the audience her difficult but rewarding experience as a community education promoter for the peace corps for the past two years in an impoverished community in Santo Domingo. Her primary responsibility was to work with women and children in the urban areas in order to improve health and education.

Pantlisu Sis/t ' Mary Johnson. SND '79 and Jennifer PUCCtll; '89 fitld queslioru (J/ Presidtnl"S Colloquium on Founder's Day.

She recalled that her goal was to encourage these women to empower themselves through education, something fundamental she learned at Emmanuel, and that her work seemed possible because at Emmanuel she leamed she could make a difference in the world, no matter how small. lenniferreflected further on her Emmanuel experience. noting that the sense of community at Emmanuel was important to her as an undergraduate, and the special nature of her Emmanuel education has been importanl to her since graduation.

She concluded her remarks by telling the audience that despite advice to the contrary, Jennifer wore her Emmanuel ring to Santo Domingo and never took it off. She said that her Emmanuel ring and a ring from her

mother when she was confirmed stayed with her and comforted her through her peace corps experience and "signify who I have become and what has shaped and molded me into what I will continue to be doing, helping people."

Sister Mary Johnson, SND '79, who witl be returning to Emmanuel next fall as a full-time faculty member. described her personal affection for and commitment to Emmanuel College, which began for her as an under­graduate and which shaped her decision to enter the Sisters of Notre Dame after her graduation from Emmanuel in 1979. She stated that her four years at Emmanuel have had a "tremendous impact on every day of the rest of my life."

She talked about the mission of Emmanuel as "Christianity in action," and reflected on her and her classmates' growing concern for the plight of the poor. She said, "I realized that there was a special global vision at Emmanuel and a sense of concern for people at the margins, not just for people in the power centers of society." She came to realize that ' 'there was a belief that God was deeply involved with the needs of the world and that the Sisters of Notre Dame were living and embodying a spirituality that was so modem and so of its time and so needed, not just for the Church but for the world."

President's Founder's Day Address

Today, the first annual Founder's Day at Emmanuel College, we celebrate the founding of Emmanuel College and the mission of the Sisters of Notre Dame at Emmanuel. As a college community we remember our founding heritage, we rejoice in the blessings of the past 73 years, and we renew our commitment to the vitality of the founding spirit.

Before we can consider Emmanuel's founding in 1919, we need to examine the founding of the Sisters of Notre Dame in 1804, for it is the inspiration of Saini Julie Billian which infonns the mission of the Sisters of NOire Dame at Emmanuel College.

In revolution tom France of the late 1700s, Julie Billian, a paralyzed daughter ofa tradesman in Picardy, France. began to gather the hundreds of children left homeless by the revolution 10 teach them about God.

Herself nanowly escaping the fury of the revolutionaries, a young aristocrat, Frances Blin de Boudron, joined Julie and supported her efforts with her fortune. Moved by God, these women founded the Sisters of Notre Dame.

The most salient aspecl of lulie's charism was her passion for the education of the poor. Over and over she stated, "We exist only for the poor, absolutely only for the poor."

Julie established poor schools first and later when authorities required her to open boarding schools, she did so, but always opened a free school for the poor as well.

So powerful was her experience of God that Julie withstood the opposition of bishops and priests in France and moved to a new country, Belgium, because she knew that God called her congregation to go beyond one diocese and one bishop - in fact to go all over the world. During the beginning days Julietravelled,makingover 120 journeys; some 750 miles in one stretch all over France, Belgium, Holland. and Flanders, to open schools and carry out her vision of an apostolate not limited to one house or diocese, as had been customary with religious orders of the time.

President's Founder's Day Address COl1linuedfmmpagel

As many young women joined Julie, many of whom were in need of education themselves, Julie instructed the first Sisters, the teachers. instilling in them her own love for educating students. ·'our treasures:'as she called them. She urged them to act with the simplicity and liberty of the children of God. ·'not to be dull as di tch water, but checrful," and to instruct students in arithmetic. grammar. spelling and writing. "to teach whatever is necessary to equip them for life:·

By the end of her 12 years of active life. Julie had personally opened schools in 19cemers in Belgium and France. which became known for their excellent, thorough education. Near the end of her life she would say of her schools, "My God it is your work - that is the only prayer I can say! My God it is your work:·

It was this same passion for education of the poor which moved the Sisters of Notre Dame in 1840 to send Sisters across the Atlantic to the U.S. In 1&49 it was the advice. ··there is not another town in the U.S. where your love of poor will find satisfaction as it will in Boston:· which led the Sisters first to SI. Mary's in the North End. In the late 19th century the Sisters opened schools in cities and in one Massachusetts mill town after another - Lowell. Lawrence,

~~lig~~a~~a~~~~~' ~~~~I~en'ten~, teaching children by day. and educating young working girls in the evening.

Today SI. Julie Billiart·s vision is carried out by 2,500 SNDs in 12 countries on 5 continents. h isnot surprising then that il was to the Sisters of Notre Dame, pioneers and well­rccognized educators with burgeoning secondary schools in the area. that Cardinal O"Connell turned to open the first Catholic college for women in the area. For some years the Sisters of NOIre Dame had been considering the need for a college in Boston, and in 1919 they assigned Sister Helen Madeleine Ingraham, then 31. to open the college.

In her memoirs the founder of Emmanuel wrote: "The college opened in responsetoa widespread and urgent demand for a Catholic institution devoted wholly to the needs of young women who decide to pursue advanced leaming in the vicinity of their homes. The purpose isto provide a liberal education whieh would lack none of theadvamages otTered to women by colleges in and near Boston. but which would at the same time be integrated with Catholic principles."

This vision was courageous, at a time when women did not yet have the constitutional right to vote. She named this college. the first Catholic college for women in New England, not Notre DameCollegeasotherssuggested,but Emmanuel College. God-with-us, the name which came to her in prayer.

The founder's dream is still fulfilled, from 26 students in the first class to over 1,300 students today. with over 12,000 students having received degrees from Emmanuel College. The college has met the needs of each generation of students.

In several addresses as President of Emmanuel College, I have spoken about the remarkable character of Emmanuel College and other Catholic colleges for women. They are at the heart of the education of women in this country Emmanuel College holds one of the oldest charters in the Commonwealth, dated April 8, 1921,and received national and regional recognition in the early 19305.

The founders of Catholic colleges for women, like our own Sister Helen Madeleine Ingraham. made it elear lhat the times demanded not only education for teachers and nurses. but forscie n· tists, physicians. and lawyers. They emphasized proper accreditation and graduate preparation of faculty. The Sisters of Notre Dame at Emmanuel were among the first women to enroll in graduate programs at Oxford, Catholic University, Harvard and Boston University. as early as the 1930sand 1940s. Emmanuel also provided education for Sisters of Notre Dame and religious women of other orders as well

Enunanuel responded to muliiple needs. making the liberal arts primary, but also allowmg the education 01 women in the liberal and useful arts, as Emmanuel"s charterstatcs.

The early history of the education of women recognizes the unique contribution ofCatholie women's colleges to the development of all women in higher education, and they are credited with paving the way for lay women in all colleges today.

The intemational character of some religious orders, such as the Sisters of Notre Dame, also has provided an exceptional opportunity for students and facultyexchange. lnfact.intheI950s Emmanuel College, through Sister Helen Madeleine Ingraham. helped found the College in Japan at Okayama. and exchanges of faculty and students from Japan continue today.

On this Founder"S Day. I believe we are called to reflect on our founding spirit and more. We are called to be refounders of the Emmanuel of today and tomorrow. Like founders. refounders will need to be attentive to the spirit, bold in acting on their creative initiatives, and courageous in responding to the needs of the time
