Philanthropy

The naming of the Donald E. Healy ’60 Conference Room in the Savard Welcome Center this fall is a testament to Donald Healy ’60, pictured here with his wife Patricia, who dedicated more than 40 years of his life to Saint Anselm College, first as a student, then a coach, and finally as director of admission.

Winter can be onerous. Cold and ice are foreboding, especially on a gray day, when the two are such a menacing pair. In the dimness, they seem to scheme at keeping comfort and progress far away.

Timidly, warmth approaches, and the ice breaks. While the creek can no longer be crossed, the muddy banks thicken, maintaining a hold on tepid hopes. Will springtime ever come

Relentless, industrious color. It works. It makes for charm even on neglected, worn facades. And as it represents the melted water, it becomes an inviting passageway to sheer, chromatic delicacy. Dark blackish-blues are steely strength. Murky, glassy, fragile reflections say: “Look to me.”  

Color excites and invites. It changes and adapts to every phase of light.

Even in frozen, lonely hills, color waits. It’s eternal; it’s always there, waiting.
