CABRINI COLLEGE, RADNOR, PA.
Intercollegiate On Sunday, September 28, three delegates from the Student Government represented Cabrini at a Student Government Workshop at Holy Family College. Eight area colleges were represented, including Delaware Valley College, Harcum, LaSalle, Immaculata, St. Joseph, Cabrini, Manor Junior College, Holy Family, and Pierce Junior College. Nancy Gorevin for SAC, Laura Hentschel for Dorm Council, and Suzanne Horn for the SGA attended. The ·y gave a report of the workshop activities at the SGA meeting Monday evening, September 29. Miss Gorevin, after attending the SAC discussion, remarked that the other colleges have the same social problems as Cabrini. Obtaining money for social functions, communicating events to the student body, and coordinating functions with the area schools which are much larger, were discussed. The possibility of co-sponsoring activities between the small colleges in the Philadelphia area was also mentioned. Miss Hentschel conversely, found that Cabrini's dorm · council was quite different from the other schools. She reported that the dorm council had much more power in the other colleges and that it served much like Cabrini's SGA. She found herself answering many questions as to how Cabrini obtained their "fantastic" curfew hours, new food service, and various personnel services for the student's benefit. Miss Horn reported that the discussion on the Stud-Governments proved very beneficial. The members participating in this discus~ion agreed that some means of direct communication between the area small colleges is necessary. The formation of an Intercollegiate Council is underway, as a result of their meeting. The nine people involved in the SGA discussion will form the core; they will organize th~ council, which will act as a unifying body for local colleges, and contact other schools which were not pre-

sent at the Workshop to inform them that an Intercollegiate Council is in the process of formation. Another meeting is being held on October 26 at Pierce Junior College to begin the major organization. She reports that the council forsees co-sponsored activities, including an intercollegiate week-end. If this council is a success the core hopes that a new mode of Philadelphia college life will be in the making. All three girls were enthusiastic in their reports and all remarked that they found
themselves wishing that every Cabrini Student could attend such a conference. They discovered that they knew Cabrini much better and appreciated what Cabrini offered much more, after comparing it to the other schools. They remarked that Cabrini's student services, administration, and student government are considerably more advanced, organized, and "student" centered than the average "Cabrinian" realizes. Cabrini's representaatives all found themselves very proud of the "new Cabrini."
Veteran Newsman ToLecture Monday Taylor Grant, a veteran award-winning newsman, will lecture on contemporary social problems at Cabrini College auditorium on Monday, October 13, at 11:30 AM. The lecture is open to the public. Grant's commentaries are heard over station WFLN's "Something to Say", which is broadcast daily. "Something to Say" is a critical, often satiron the tnrical · commentary man condition. Its primary purpose is to stimulate thought It is and resuscitate truth. also intended to reduce the number and width of existing gaps, including the basic gap between emotion and intellect, of which the sensationalist forces within the communications media are constantly taking advantage. Some might call "Something to Say" a series of essays about almost any current topic worthy of argument. Taylor Grant finds the word "essays" pretentious. He characterizes them as "just talks from somewhere between the top of the head and the bottom of the heart". They are, indeed, highly individualistic views of the human community, spoken from .the depths of the conscience of one of the community's most concerned members. In 1968, Mr. Grant received the First Annual Award for Outstanding Community Service by the Greater Philadelphia Council of Churches. Taylor Grant's broadcasting

McManus of St. Davids and James C. Lanshe, Esq., of Allentown. The appointm~nts fill two of the four positions on the eleven-member board which were recently opened to laymen. A third member, Lt. Milton G. Baker of Wayne, was named to the board last year. Leo P. McManus, 76 and now retired, was president of Aronomink Corp., developers, and secretart-treasurer of Foley-McManus, Inc., contractors. A long-time friend of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart, Mr. McManus was interested in their apostolic social work. The sisters conducted an orphanage at 67th and Callowhill Streets , Philadelphia, and in the 1950's were in need of additional facilities. In 1956, the Dorrance family Radnor estate, "Woodcrest", was put up for sale and McManus, seeing its possibilities as a new location for the orphanage, presented the possibility to the sisters. At their request he negotiated for the sisters and was instrumental in securing the 145 acre property for them . The sisters operated the orphanage there for a year when it was decided by the religious community to open a liberal arts college for women. Cabrini College was opened in September, 1957. The firm of Foley-McManus Inc. did the original renovations on the existing buildings. The former stable was converted into a dormitory, now Grace Hall. The college's original chapel was built in the mansion's former library. It was donated by McManus and his partner, William P. Foley, in memory of their parents. The college's building program progressed and the firm was contracted to build Sacred Heart Hall, a faculty and classroom complex (1959), Bruckmann Memorial Chapel (1961), Bruckmann Laboratory (1962), and Holy Spirit Library (1965).
