An
attic stuffed with old letters, cherished photographs, even canceled
checks can tell a lot about a family, a city or a nation. When
the "family" is a group of nuns and students with convents
and independent schools from Miami to Seattle, from San Diego to
Boston, the "attic" is called an archives. When the order's pioneer
leader is one of the few U.S. canonized saints, the archives is a lode
for American and church historians.

Over
spring break at Nerinx Hall, a Loretto high School where I have been
teaching theology since 1991, I accompanied 10 students and a colleague
to Guarjila, Chalatenango, El Salvador. I have been going to Guarjila
since 1987 and began to bring students in 1998. This village was one of
the first of the repopulated communities that returned from the Mesa
Grande refugee camp in Honduras during the twelve year war which ended
in 1992.

Manhattanville
has been in the national spotlight over the past few weeks as one of
our students, Toni Smith, a senior sociology major, has chosen to
exercise her First Amendment right in the form of a silent protest
during the National Anthem on the basketball court. Her action has
sparked a national debate - on the First Amendment, the appropriateness
of the time and place of her actions, the symbolism of the American
flag, and the mixture of sports and politics.
