THE FOUNDING OF PROVIDENCE COLLEGE Providence College was founded in 1917 through a joint effort ofthe Diocese of Providence and the Dominican Friars of the Province of St. Joseph, with the blessing of Pope Benedict XV and the consent of the General Assembly of the State of Rhode Island.

The driving force behind the development of the College was the late Rt. Rev. Matthew Harkins, D. D., Bishop of Providence, whose dream it was to create a center of advanced learning primarily for the Catholic youth of Rhode Island. However, the College’s charter demonstrates that the founders intended PC to serve members of all religious faiths as it reads: “no person shall be refused admission . . . nor shall any person be denied any of the privileges, honors, or degrees in said college on account of the religious opinion he may entertain.”

Bishop Harkins’ negotiations with the Dominicans of the Province of St. Joseph and his gifts of approximately 17 acres of land and $10,000 in scholarship funds helped make Providence College a reality. With donations coming primarily from Catholics of modest means, and a pledge from the Province of St. Joseph to provide Dominican administrators and teachers, the College broke ground for the imposing Harkins Hall in 1917. Two years later, in September 1919, it opened its doors to 71 students and nine Dominican faculty members.

THE MISSION OF THE COLLEGE Providence College is a primarily undergraduate, liberal arts, Catholic institution of higher education. Committed to fostering academic excellence through the sciences and humanities, the College provides a variety of opportunities for intellectual, social, moral and spiritual growth in a supportive environment.

The College actively cultivates intellectual, spiritual, ethical and aesthetic values within the context of the Judaeo-Christian heritage. These values are nurtured by the unique tradition of the Dominican Order which emphasizes quality teaching and scholarship.

Providence College recognizes the unity of the human family that proceeds from its one Creator. It therefore encourages the deepest respect for the essential dignity, freedom and equality of every person and welcomes qualified women and men from all religious, racial and ethnic backgrounds.

Responding to the needs of Rhode Island, the Dominican Order of Preachers made a special commitment to the state in 1917 and founded Providence College — the only institution of higher learning in North America that is conducted by the Order. In 93 years, Providence College has steadily moved to a position of national prominence, while maintaining a personal, community-like atmosphere that fosters growth and development among its student population.

Providence College’s rich heritage dates back to 1216, or the origins of the Dominican Order in Spain. Through the ages, the Dominican Friars became known as the “champions of the faith,” spreading the gospel message through the centuries into every corner of the globe. Today, Dominican Friars continue to spread the gospel in a wide range of remote areas of the world, to teach at every level of the United States educational system.

With the Dominican tradition as its foundation, Providence College focuses on developing the entire person through its values-oriented education. The college seeks to complement a student’s knowledge with knowledge of his own values — values that will remain the foundation for sound judgement throughout a lifetime.

To that end, Providence College aims to relate its curriculum to the problems of contemporary society, offering diverse programs of study that remain grounded in the liberal arts. Students may choose from some 60 concentrations ranging from computer science to labor relations to theatre arts. In addition, qualified students who wish to structure a program not specifically provided under the regular concentrations may develop their own program with the approval of the dean of the college.

As part of the core curriculum, all students take a two-year, team-taught course, Development of Western Civilization (DWC) which integrates the study of literature, philosophy, history and religious studies through the ages into a cohesive interdisciplinary unit.

Situated just on the fringe of downtown Providence, the College’s location enables students to have easy access to the many social, cultural, educational and recreational amenities of urban life - the Providence Public Library; entertainment at the Providence Performing Arts Center; the Providence Place Mall, the Bank of America City Center, sporting events, entertainment and trade shows at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center and the Providence Convention Center and dozens of fine restaurants. With several other major educational institutions located in Providence, the city has become a hub of collegiate activity.

A MESSAGE FROM MARIE FLEGO...

And we’re back! It’s a new year in Friartown and the Providence College softball team is ready for action. Not only are we ready to make an impact on the softball field, but also within our community by dedicating ourselves to community service projects throughout the year.

On September 17th, PCSB visited St. Patrick’s Church Soup Kitchen and helped serve hot meals to the less fortunate in the city. As a team we were able to help prepare and deliver food for those in need while sharing stories, time and laughter with the people in our surrounding community. Lauren Paiva, our sophomore from Rhode Island, expressed that the most touching experience for her was seeing a father singing to his young son while feeding him. After speaking with the father, the gentleman stated to her, “My son is very blessed.” He asked questions about our team and said how thankful he was that we would take the time to help. It’s moments like these that you never forget.

C O M M U N I T Y

In mid-October our team participated in the annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. Through the generosity of the Providence College campus community we were able to donate over $1,300 dollars to the cause! The look of gratitude on people’s faces when we handed them the check was overwhelming. Right after check-in we ran through a Zumba warm up with hundreds of other participants. We loved it, the tempo and the spirit of survivors, fighters and supporters! As senior Corinne Clauss stated, “the greatest experience was seeing the cancer survivors that still fight to find a cure for the disease that they were able to beat.”

The day was a true inspiration and what a blessing to be involved in such an event.

As our first semester rapidly draws to a close, we will continue to work hard for the upcoming season. We are always searching for more ways that our program can touch the lives of the people in our community. We are enthusiastic about making a difference in our community and conveying what it truly means to be a Providence College Friar!

Go Friars!
