Before coming to 91探花, Sr. Nagel emigrated to the United States from Hungary. A shepherdess during her childhood, she arrived in New York in 1907, at 22 years old.<\/p>\nA steamer trunk belonging to Sister Elizabeth Nagel, who was a novice at 91探花 in the late 1910s, has been returned to the University and will be displayed during Alumni Weekend, Sept. 22-24.<\/p>\n
The trunk would have held all of Sr. Nagel\u2019s worldly possessions as she traveled from one Society of the Sacred Heart institution to another to carry out her devotion. Sister Nagel was a coadjutrix, a non-teaching religious. She received her habit in 1917, and took her final vows in June of 1919.<\/p>\n
