62. SIENA ALUMNAE

Miss Edith Fleming, President
Organized 1913
Federated 1918
Meets Quarterly on Tuesday

The Siena Club of San Francisco is one of a chain of Catholic clubs over
the land, now numbering seventy-five. These clubs minister to the
Catholic students of nearly every big university, college and normal
school in our country.

In April 1913, with the approval of the late Archbishop Riordan, Siena
Club was organized, and place by him under the patronage of one of the
greatest women of the fourteenth century, St. Catherine of Siena, hence
its name.

Any Catholic young woman studying for a profession in any recognized San
Francisco Normal School is eligible to membership.

The object of the Club is to advance the spiritual and intellectual life
of its members, and to foster among them a pleasant, wholesome social
life.

Archbishop Hanna has been active chaplain of the Club since its
organization.

The Siena Alumnae is composed of the former members who are now
graduates. We assist in very way possible the student members, many of
whom are strangers in San Francisco, coming here from country places. To
this end an informal tea is served each Tuesday in our club rooms at 50
Oak Street, to which all the undergraduates are invited. The
acquaintances formed are most helpful. This is our principal work. In
addition:

For the coming year we have pledged ourselves to give a monthly program
at the Home for Incurables.
