That was radical, highly charged stuff, but in time it found a suitable champion. Teresa of Avila, born in 1515, was one of the Catholic Church's great mystics and--through tireless work founding and defending a new model for convents and monasteries--a heroine of the Counter-Reformation, Catholicism's vigorous response to the challenge of Protestantism. After prayer to Joseph cured her of an early case of paralysis, she adopted him as her "true father," stating that "in heaven God does whatever he commands." Teresa took the Nazareth household as the model for her order and named...

Mir ’07, a member of the Earthquake Relief Coalition, said, “This was our last event and we’re really excited...
King seems to fit this model. She brings a plethora of diversity to the Corporation—she will be only the fourth female and second African-American ever to serve, Harper being the first. Furthermore, having been a professor for over 30 years, she also brings with her the viewpoint of a faculty member, an important perspective for the Corporation to consider after last spring’s fallout between Summers and members of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. King’s academic background will provide her with different perspectives from the rest of the board?...
