Twenty-three teaching Sisters of various Orders were awarded the degree of 8.A., at the Catholic University of America this year while the degree of M. A. was given to 24. Forty-nine Sisters, representing sixteen different communities, were in residence during the academic year. Living accommodations were provided for a small number of the Sisters in the convents of the Benedictine Nuns and the Sisters of Divine Providence. Those who could not find accommodations in these two convents rented seven cottages in the immediate vicinity and turned them into temporary convents. The students of Teachers’ College were all Sisters who, through long years of teaching and of religious life (says the Sacred Heart Review), were thoroughly accustomed to regularity and work. The needs of their religious life were amply provided for by five chaplains who said daily Mass in the several convents.
