The Class of 1989 has purchased and dedicated its much-anticipated
senior class gift, a limited edition bronze bust of St. Edith
Stein, now displayed
on a wooden pedestal in the foyer of St. Edith Stein Hall. The bust, by
sculptor Hamilton Reed Armstrong of Virginia, was unveiled and dedicated
at Reunion '99 by class chairs Sean Martin '89 and Christina Maggi Buckley '89.
Fr. Eugene Sylva '89 offered a prayer and blessing. John Spillane '89, who spearheaded
the gift effort, offered excerpts from the homily Fr. Brooks delivered on campus
after the canonization of the saint in October 1998. Enclosed in plexiglass,
the bust is the sixth of only 10 castings of the arresting likeness. A plaque
will be added to the pedestal to identify St. Edith Stein and the Class of 1989
as the source of this wonderful gift.
