Founded by the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Shanghai in 1937, Aurora College for Women was the first and the only comprehensive women’s college in Shanghai as well as the first women’s college founded by Catholic in China, setting up various Departments like English, Chinese, Education, Home Economics and Chemistry. During 14 years, the College fostered 395 graduates and thousands of students. The author interviewed 11 graduates and listened to their sweet memories of their Alma Mater, representing the colorful campus life of the College. Those memories are collected in this essay for the colleagues researching on Shanghai’s modern educational history and Missionary education.
