celebrated by the Rev.
Joseph M. Boles, chaplain,
will mark officially the
beginning of the school
year.
Misericordia will
welcome one of its largest
freshman classes in recent
years, with some 280 new
students beginning studies
this fall. Included in that
number are 46 transfer
students, transferring to
Misericordia from other
area institutions. Twenty-
nine male students will be
among the new
Misericordians.
The increase in incoming
freshmen has been
attributed by the college to
several unique academic
programs and to the
intensive recruitment
efforts of the admissions
office staff.
Nursing is a particularly
attractive major at
Misericordia, a spokesman
said, because the college
has the only four-year
program in Northeastern
Pennsylvania that is
approved by the National
League for Nursing, the
professional accrediting
SOM plan
A special half-hour
program on the Sisters of
Mercy will be broadcast
Sept. 4 on Channel 28,

Sr. Regina Kelly, RSM,
consultant on special
projects and former dean
and professor at College
Misericordia, Dallas, will
introduce the film,
“Tenderness of All
Things.” A portrayal of the
health apostolate of the
Sisters of Mercy, the film is
narrated by Sr. Regina,
who also wrote the script
and assisted in production.
Locally Sisters of Mercy
are celebrating in
September the centennial
of their arrival at Sts.
Peter and Paul Parish,
Towanda, where they

attracting large numbers
of students include social

schedule of both academic
and social activities.
