FROM CAMPUS THE NEWS EDITOR SMC football team goes undefeated and is crowned MIAC champion (1927 and 1928) 10 College colors change from maroon and white to cardinal red and white (1926) 9 On Sept. 11, a Peace Pole was unveiled in front of the chapel, and blessed by Father Jim Steffes ’87. Remembrance ceremony marks 9-11 anniversary The Saint Mary’s University community was invited to an hour of reflection, prayer and song Sept. 11 in remembrance of last year’s terrorist attacks on the United States. The Immaculate Heart of Mary Seminary bell tolled as students, faculty and staff gathered outside Saint Thomas More Chapel. After an introduction by Brother President Louis DeThomasis, Dr. Marcy Church of the psychology department offered a reflection. She noted, in part, that “the tragic events of September 11th left no one unaffected. This past year has been a time of healing for each of us in our own way. As time passes, it becomes clearer to me that just healing, although important, isn’t enough. As citizens of the world, we are responsible to seek information to understand how such tragic events can occur. Not an easy charge. However, we are the privileged. At Saint Mary’s University we are a community of scholars. No, we are more than that, we are a faith-based community of scholars, and we have at our disposal many resources to help us in our quest for understanding.” Then, as a symbol of moving forward, maintenance staff (including Denny Grandl, Crystal Griffin, Bruce Volkmann and Anna Schmollinger) removed the American flags that hung all last year from the Hwy. 14 overpass. The flags will be displayed in a place of honor in Saint Mary’s Hall. The overflow crowd moved into the chapel for a ceremony led by Sister Mary Jo Baldus RSM, director of Campus Ministry. A reading by Ting Yao ’06 was followed by a prayer from student senate president Jim Horan ’03 and “Let There be Peace on Earth,” sung by the IHM Seminary Choir and Spirit of Life Choir. Moving outside to the chapel lawn, a Peace Pole inscribed with “May Peace Prevail on Earth” in four languages was unveiled by Dee Bernhardt, director of spiritual formation, and blessed by Father Jim Steffes ’87, rector of IHM Seminary. The gathering was ended with “God Bless America.” At the Saint Teresa campus later that day, an exhibit of photographs taken in New York City following the 9-11 terrorist attacks opened at Valéncia Arts Center. The exhibit offered 36 color photographs taken by Minnesota native Mary Spano, a professional photographer residing in Manhattan. Titled “The World Trade Center Disaster Memorials: Remembering Those Lost,” the exhibit was a tribute to the people and parts of New York City lost forever. An overflow crowd filled Saint Thomas More Chapel for a Sept. 11 prayer service. 10 SAINT MARY’S MAGAZINE WINTER 2003
CAMPUS Campus NEWS Notes $2 million gift to support the arts at Saint Mary’s Saint Mary’s University has received a $2 million donation to support arts programs and students at the Winona campus. The donation is a bequest from Lillian Davis Hogan of New York. Hogan enjoyed a long career in New York City theatre, including tenure with the famous Ziegfield Follies dance revue. Hogan met Brother President Louis DeThomasis 27 years ago, when he was headmaster of an international preparatory school on Long Island. “Lillian was a wonderful lady,” Brother Louis said. “She loved the arts, and knew of my efforts to promote cultural offerings at Saint Mary’s. Her gift is a lasting tribute to her life’s passion. It will benefit many students — and the Winona community — for years to come.” Half of the bequest will endow a new Lillian Davis Hogan Tomorrow’s Leaders Scholarship, with preference to students majoring or active in theatre arts. The remaining $1 million will be split between an endowment for the art gallery in the Toner Student Center, and an endowment to support the Lillian Davis Hogan Performance Series of public events. 12 Nickname changes from Cardinals to Redmen (1932) Ready to dig at the groundbreaking ceremony (from left): Tim Burchill ’68, vice president for university relations; Ann Merchlewitz G’96, vice president and general counsel; Brother President Louis DeThomasis; and Chris Schellinger and Jon Petters of Collegeville Development Group. University Village to offer access to SMU A ground-breaking ceremony Sept. 16 marked the start of construction of University Village, a housing community located across Hwy. 14 at the entrance to Knopp Valley. The 36-unit development is being planned and financed by Collegeville Development Group, a St. Cloud-based company focused on housing communities designed to engage and enrich the lives of older adults. University Village will cater to persons 55 and older, and offer access to the social, recreational, intellectual, cultural and spiritual opportunities available at Saint Mary’s University. Homeowners may attend classes, sporting events, musical and theater productions, and workout at the campus recreational center. Other than the access to SMU facilities and services, University Village will be completely independent of the university itself.
