In Memoriam

Mary T. Clark

(1913 - 2014) was Professor of Philosophy at Manhattanville College, an institution with which she had been associated for more than three-quarters of a century and where a chair of Christian Philosophy bears her name. She was known mainly for her work as a historian of philosophy and made a special study of Augustine, to whom a number of her books are devoted. She also produced a notable translation of the Theological Treatises on the Trinity of Marius Victorinus. In her earlier years she also achieved a measure of fame as an advocate for civil rights, a cause with which Manhattanville College was closely associated during the middle decades of the twentieth century.

Sister Clark was in addition the President of the American Catholic Philosophical Association, the Metaphysical Society of America, and the Society for Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy. She was among the original Editorial Advisors of the scholarly journal Dionysius. She entered the Society of the Sacred Heart in 1939 and was grateful for her education primarily because it led to ‘the realization that there is no freedom without truth.’ Ralston College was honored to have Dr Clark as a Visitor.
