This month’s cover features a photograph of the interior of the St. Pius X Library at Incarnate Word College, now the University of the Incarnate Word. The building was canonized in 1955 and was re-canonized in 1997 as the J.E. & L.E. Mabee Library. The image was likely taken in the late 1950s, when the institution was a women’s college with mostly education and nursing students. The university is now home to nearly 10,000 students and 110 majors.
