Resigns a s Studeboker President
Mr. Hoffman, who resigned his post as
President of the Studebaker Corporation in
South Bend to accept his new duties, holds
one of the most important positions in the
nation as he is charged with the respon-
sibility of supervising the distribution of aid
from the United States to rebuild the war-
stricken countries of Europe.
Mr. Hoffman began his spectacular climb
to become one of the nation's most promi-
nent industrial leaders in 1911, when he
became an automobile salesman for the Stu-
debaker Corporation in Los Angeles. After
fcur years in that capacity, he was named
Sales Manager of the Los Angeles Branch
of the Studebaker Corporation in 1915, and
two years later had advanced to the posi-
tion of Distributing Branch Manager. He
purchased the Los Angeles retail branch
in 1919.
It took only fourteen years for Mr. Hoff-
man to rise from automobile salesman to
an administrative position in the Studebaker
Corporation. In 1925 he was appointed
II0.3
Vice-President of the organization and ten
years later was elevated to the presidency.
Even before his appointment as Director
of the European' Recovery Program, Mr.
Hoffman for many years had been active in
the nation's affairs. He has served as Chair-
man of the Board of Trustees of the Com-
mittee for Economic Development Chair-
man of the Automotive Safety Foundation,
Honorary Chairman of the United China
Relief, a member of President Truman's
Commission on Foreign Aid and a member
of the Business Advisory Council of the
United States Department of Commerce.
Hald Many PositioBs
Author of "The Seven Roads to Safety"
in 1939, the prominent automobile manu-
facturer also has served as Director and
Vice-President of the Automobile Manufac-
turers Association and is a member of the
Visitors Committee of the Department of
Government at Harvard University. He is
a Director of the Federal Reserve Bank of •
Chicago, the New York Life Insurance
Company, the United Air Lines, the Ency-
clopedia Britannica and Encyclopedia Brit-
annica Films, and the Chicago Corporation.
Archbishop Gushing, after receiving his
early education at Boston College high
school and Boston College, entered St.
John's Seminary at Brighton, Mass., for his
religious training leading to the priesthood.
He was ordained into the Catholic priest-
hood oh May 26, 1921.
After his ordination, the present .Arch-
bishop was active in parish work in the
Boston area and at one time during his
career gained considerable prominence as
Director of the Society for Propagation of
the Faith in the Archdiocese of Boston. He
was consecrated Auxiliary Bishop of Boston
and Titular Bishop of Mela in 1939, and
was elevated to his post as Archbishop of
Boston in 1944.
Archbishop Gushing, former pastor of
Sacred Heart Church in Newton Centre,
Mass., is a prominent writer on the missions
and on religious, social and moral problems.
He is a Grand Knight of the Gross and a
Knight of S t Hubert of Lorraine.

UNIVERSITY
TODAY
By Edward A. Fischer, '37
SPRING FEVER didn't have much of a
chance as a rash of dances, speakers'
programs, and assorted activities broke
out on the campus during the past
month. Everyone was hxirrying to com-
plete one more project before the end
of the school year.
A NEW MAG.'^ZINE, entitled Notre
Dame, is being edited here. First copies of
the 24-page quarterly will roll from the
press in about a month. The magazine,
free to alumni and friends of the university,
will be filled with human interest stories
and feature articles on the little-publicized
phases of Universit>' life.
THE LAYMEN'S RETREAT will be
held from 8:30 pjn., Aug. 19. until the
end oi the Communion breakfast Aug.
22, according to the Rev. Michael A.
Foran, C.S.C., director oi retreats at
Notre Dame. The practice ol an annual
week-end retreat on the campus was
started here in 1918.
THE SIXTIETH ANNriVERS.<^Y of
his final profession in the Congregation of
Holy Cross was celebrated by Brother An-
gclus Dolan, c.s.c, here, March 19. At 86
he is the oldest Brother in the United
States ProWnce of Brothers. For 40 years
he canvassed for The Ave Maria magazine,
covering the United States, .Australia, and
Canada. .Mumni will remember him as
"Brother Dome," a title he acquired when
guestmaster of the Universit>' for many
years.
WAGNERIAN SOPRANO Helen Trau-
bel was guest artist of the South Bend
Symphony orchestra during a concert
May 7 at Notre Dame.
THIRTEENTH ANNUAL conference of
the Indiana College English .Association was
held here April 30 and May 1.
RAPID EXPANSION of tiie University
library has made necessary the crea-
tion of an Acquisition Department
headed by Assistant Librarian Louis A.
Eenney, former assistant librarian at
the University of Illinois. The library,
which lists nearly 300,000 volumes, is
growing at a rate of more than 1.000
volumes a month.
THE NEXT GENER.\TION of scien-
tists may be of inferior quality because of a
scarcit)- of competent scientific instructors,
the Rev. Philip S. Moore, c.s.c, dean of the
Graduate School, told the Advisory Council
for Science and Engineering during a meet-
ing here April 24 and 25. While student
rosters have increased 80 per cent, faculties
have increased only 20 per cent. Father
Moore pointed out. In addition to this lack
in quantity there is a lack in quality be-
cause government and industry are drawing
some of the best men away from the uni-
versities.
The Rev. John Cavanaugh, c.s.c, presi-
dent of Notre Dame, told the council that
"Just now it almost sccTas that the govern-
ment is deliberately undermining the one in-
stitution—the privately controlled religious
school—that is the staunchest defender of
the principles that give it vitality and in-
sure its future."
After stressing that the very roots of de-
mocracy are based on religion. Father Cav-
anaugh pointed out that the effects of gov-
ernment subsidy of education eventually will

Gerald B. Phelan, PhJ)., director of the Mediaeval Institute, received an honorary

cation on April 3. He also spoke at the Los Angeles Club's UND Night observance
while in California.

the nation's private schools which are pro-
ducing morally responsible leaders embodied i
with the training to preserve this democracy.
During the meeting, members of the Ad-
visor>" Council inspected the laboratories in
the Department of Metallurgy at Notre
Dame and heard Dr. Edward G. Mahin,
head of the department, review research
being conducted in the laboratories. Prof.
James A. Reynicrs, Director of the Labora-
tories of Bacteriolog)' at Notre Dame (LO-
BUND) reported on the latest bills intro-
duced in Congress for the establishment of
a National Science Foundation and the im-
portance of such a foundation for Notre
Dame. The Rev. John J. Burke, c.s.c,
business manager of Notre Dame, discussed
the various problems of business manage-
ment of research.
The Advisor}' Council, which meets semi-
annually to discuss expansion of research
at Notre Dame, has as its chairman Edgar
Kobak, president of the Mutual Broadcast-
ing System. The vice-chairman is Bradley
Dewey, president of Dewey and Almy Chem-
ical Co., Cambridge, Mass.

A TRIBUTE to the work of CalhoUc
missionaries in China was given by
Hallett Abend, for 16 years Chief Far
Eastern Correspondent for the NEW
YORE TIMES, in an interview following
a lecture in South Bend. Mr. Abend, a
Protestant, said that more than 2.500.000
Chinese Catholics testify to the fine
work of several thousand Catholic mis-
sionaries.
Chinese Communists have always
been controlled by Moscow, Mr. Abend
said. He added that although the
majority of the Chinese people do not
W want Communism, neither do they want
the present Chiang Kai-shek govern-
ment which he labeled as corrupt and
inefficient.
.AMERICA has lost the peace. That was
the theme of an address given here by Dr.
Max Jordan, Central European representa-
tive of the National Broadcasting Company
and author of the book. Beyond All Fronts.
He found little to praise in the .-Mlied occu-
pation of Germany. He accused the victors
of an unworkable and inhuman partition of
Germany which deprived that countr>- of its
eastern agricultural regions.

Washington Hall at 6:30 pan. Monday,
April 26. when Henry J. Taylor, author,
journalist, and commentator, gave his
twice weekly talk. "Your Land and
Mine." over Mutual.
* BIGGEST TROUBLE with the theater
today is that serious dramatists want to use
the stage for a soapbox, said Father Gilbert
V. Hartke, O.P., in a talk that closed the
Aquinas Lecture Series. The priest, who is
the head of the ver>' successful speech and
drama department at Catholic University,
said that the theater will regain its popu-
larity when writers quit using it to carry on
political, sociological, and economic cru-
sades, and return to the belief that the
prime purpose of the stage is to amuse,
please, delight, and entertain.
THE FORTY THOUSAND priests in the
United States need the help of Catholic
laymen to bring the teachings of Christ
to eighty million Americans who ore not
affiliated with any church, the Rev. John
A. O'Brien told the Catholic Laymen's
First Friday Club of Chicago. The Notre
Dame professor of Religion told the
story of George M. Reichle, former in-
^ structor of speech at Notre Dame, who
while in the army instructed 41 officers
and enlisted men and saw each of them
baptized into the Catholic Faith. Father
O'Brien also told of Frank Estis who,
with the help of a few assistants, made
332 converts and won back 104 foUen-
away Catholics during 1947.
STUDENTS will be able to matriculate
at an .American-type university in Mexico
this summer when the Department of Mod-
ern Languages at Notre Dame sponsors the
second annual Notre Dame summer session
at Mexico City College from June 22 to
.August 27. The session will provide a three-
fold opportunity: to develop a fluency in
the Spanish language in the real-life atmo-
sphere of that language; broaden education
by residence in a foreign land, and better
inter-.American understanding. Though pri-
marily for Notre Dame students, the special
summer session is open to other interested
persons, both men and women, provided
they indicate a certain background in Span-
ish studies or a desire to pursue such studies.
DEAN JAMES E. McCAHTHY. of the
College of Commerce, has been named
chairman of the Jury of Awards for a
national high school essay contest of
the Advertising Federation of America.
-ANY SYSTEM of education that does
not teach the difference between right and
wrong is morally sick, said the Rev. Robert
H. Sweeney, c.s.c, executive assistant to
the president of the university, in a St. Pat-
rick's Day speech at Scranton, Pa.
Referring to the Supreme Court decision
that release-time religious instruction in the
public schools of Champaign, 111., was un-
constitutional because it violated the tra-
ditional separation of Church and State,
Father Sweeney pointed out that some "very
disturbing consequences could come out of
the Supreme Court's new ruling."
"Does it mean that the public schools
are now forbidden to teach the principles
underlying the Declaration of Independ-
ence?" Father Sweeney asked. "These prin-
ciples are principles of the Christian reli-
gion. They are not principles of Hinduism,
Buddhism, Shintoism, or Mohammedanism;
there are thousands of tax-paying adherents
of these religions in the United States —
many times more of them than there are
avowed atheists like Mrs. Vashti McCoUum.
"For example, has it become unconsti-
tutional to teach in the public schools that
men are endowed by their Creator with cer-
tain inalienable rights? Is it unconstitu-
tional to teach the children that stealing is
wrong? Is it unconstitutional to teach chil-
dren that there is a God who is our Crea-
tor? Every one of these principles is denied
by one or another religion other than the
Christian and the Jewish."
The Notre Dame executive pointed out
that if the principle of divorce of the State
and Religion is carried out to its final con-
clusion, the public schools cannot teach a
child that anything is wrong—or right—be-
cause that is morality, and is religious teach-
ing. He observed that the most they could
do would be to assert that stealing and ly-
ing and infant-murder arc against the law
of the land as presently written on the
statute books.
POTENT QUESTIONS were oaked in
a poll sponsored by TIME and con-
ducted on the campus by students ma-
joring in joumolism.
Of the 153 Notre Dame students who
answered the questionnaiie. 121 were
ioTorable to the Marshall Plan. 18 were
against it. and 14 confessed that they
didn't know, or hadn't made up their
minds,
The United Nations has only a poor
or faiT chance of being able to maintain
peace, according to Notre Dame opin-
ion. If there were no United Nations
and we relied solely on ouiselTes
backed by oiur atomic bomb, 121 oi the
153 ogieed that we would not hare a
better chance for peace.
The majority of the students polled
agreed that it would be "a bad idea
for the democratie countries of Western
Europe to form a United States of Eur-
ope with a plan of government some-
thing like what we hare in the United
Slates of America." and most were
against a United States of the World.
"In the conflict between Russia and
America, which side is gaining and
which is losing?" The poll showed that
112 thought Russia was gaining. 13
thought America was gaining, and 28
didn't know, or answered "neither."
Who will be ahead 20 years from now?
America drew 98, Russia 15.

ATHLETICS
Foofba/f
The annual Varsity-Old Timers game,
held each year in the Notre Dame Stadium
between the current Irish N-arsity eleven
and past Notre Dame stars, will assume
added significance on Saturday, May 15,
when the two teams clash before a crowd
that may reach 20,000.
First, it will mark the final appearance in
Notre Dame Stadium of a number of Irish
stars who will receive degrees in June—
and included in this array will be a trio
of all-time greats in quarterback Johnny
Lujack and tackles George Connor and
Ziggy Czarobski.
And in direct connection with the ap-
pearance for the last time of Lujack, Con-
nor and Czarobski, a lead will be offered to
the answer to the question of just how
Coach Frank Leahy's national champions
will fare during the 1948 season without
these three vital cogs in the 1947 title ag-
gregation.
Other former stars who will perform with
the Old Timers include left halfback Bob
Lmngstone, defensive quarterback Pete
Ashbaugh, fullbacks Floyd Simmons and
Corwin Clatt, right halfback Bill Gompers,
tackle George Sullivan, guard Joe Signaigo
and place-kicking expert Fred Barley.
From last year's national championship
eleven and still in school performing for the
Varsity will be ends Jim Martin and Leon
Hart, guards Marty Wendell and Capt. Bill
Fischer, center Bill Walsh, right halfback
Emil Sitko and fullback John Panelli. Frank
Tripucka will do the quarterbacking for the
Varsit)-, taking over the duties \'acated by
Lujack.
Proceeds of the game will go to the aca-
demic scholarship fund of the Notre Dame
Alumni Club of St. Joseph Valley. Frank
Miles, of South Bend, is chairman of the
game committee. The annual game marks
the end of spring practice for the Varsity.
Coach Leahy's chief problem during the
Spring drills has been the consistent threat
of injuries. Among the outstanding candi-

the quartet is expected to be able to par-
ticipate in the annual game and with espe-
cially the t\vo tackle spots conspicuous by
a scarcity of seasoned performers, the task
of moulding the 1948 team in the Spring
session has been even more difficult for
Coach Leahy.
Baseball
Still searching for a semblance of much
needed power at the plate. Coach Clarence
J. (Jake) Kline's Notre Dame baseball team
swings into the second stage of a rugged
2»j-game schedule seeking to improve on a
bad start which saw the Irish drop five out
of their first seven contests.
The Irish diamond crew, definitely miss-
ing the slugging ability of last season's hard-
hitting trio of Jack Mayo, Tom Sheehan
and Bobby Klein, proved in its first seven
games of the season that plenty of class is
available in the pitching and fielding de-

partments, but that extra punch necessary
to win close ball games is lacking.
Although victorious in only two out of
seven games at the outset of the season,
the Klinemen's record actually is not as bad
as it appears on paper. For example, all
five of the losses by the Irish baseballers
were dropped by one-run margins.
Notre Dame opened the season with a
four-game series in Cincinnati, emerging
victorious in only one of the quartet. The
Irish dropped a pair of tilts to the Univer-
sity of Cincinnati by scores of 4 to 3 and
2 to 1, and lost to Xavier University by a
4 to 3 count before salvaging the second
game against Xavier by a 5 to 2 margin.
Still hitting the road, the Blue and Gold
stopped off at Peoria, 111., to meet Bradley .
and after big John Creevey had tossed three-
hit ball for seven innings he was tagged for
.1 home run with one on to drop a 2 to 1
decision. And in two more contests decided
by., a single run, Notre Dame edged past
Iowa, 8 to 7, with a ninth-inning rally and
lost a 4 to 3 tilt to the Hawkeyes at Iowa
City.
Coach Kline is juggling his lineup in an
effort to get more punch into the starting
nine. At third base, where Gene Lavery
started the season, Tom Martin also is being
given an opportunity. Shortstop is well set
with Pete Koblosh, who with a .384 average
in the first seven games is the only Irish

Presley all have alternated behind the plate,
while Walt Mahanna, Jack Campbell, Dick

Track
After only mediocre performances in the
Kansas Relays and Drake Relays to open
the outdoor season. Coach Elvin R. (Doc)
Handy's Notre Dame outdoor track and
field squad looks ahead to a triangular meet
and a pair of dual affairs as features of the
outdoor campaign.
In the Kansas Relays, the Irish tracksters
copped a trio of third places in the three-
mile relay, the four-mile relay and the tv/o-
mile relay events. Only a bad spill over
the last hurdle, injuring his leg, kept ace
hurdler John Smith from copping second
place in the 120-yard hurdles in which the
famed Harrison Dillard of Baldwin-Wallace
turned in a record performance of 13.6 sec-
seconds. Smith's leg injur)- also kept him
out of the Drake Relays.
The only Notre Dame team which placed
in the crack field at the Drake Relays in
Des Moines, la., was the sprint medley ag-
gregation. The Irish held down the second
place spot in the event until the final five
yards when a sudden burst of speed by Wis-
consin's Don Gehrmann overtook Notre
' Dame's Bill Leonard.
Expected to provide most of the power
for the Irish during the outdoor campaign
are hurdlers John Smith and Bill Fleming,
dashman Bob Smith, two-miler Jim Mur-
phy, miler Leonard and Capt. Ernie Mc-
Cullough in the 440-yard dash.

Tennis
Coach Walter Langford's Notre Dame
tennis team, undefeated since 1946, got off
to a good start in quest of its second con-
secutive undefeated season by trouncing
Wisconsin's Badgers, 9 to 0, in the opening
match of the season.
So complete was Notre Dame's mastery

Alumni to Gather on Campus
June 4-6 for Annual Reimion
The Golden .•\nniversary of the class of
1898 and the Silver Anniversary of the class
of 1923 take over top billing as the campus
prepares to welcome back once more, on
June 4, 5 and 6, the Notre Dame men of
other years. As before, the annual Alumni
Reunion will be joined with the activities
of Commencement.
Alumni will register, as they did last year,
at a booth at the main entrance to the
campus and from this point will be directed
to residence halls. In the traditional reunion
way, halls will be assigned by classes so that
friends of the same Notre Dame era will
be together again.
(In answer to several inquiries, the
ALUMNUS is happy to stress the point that
there will be residence accommodations on
the campus for all returning alumni, and for
these accommodations only a small fee, to
cover the cost of ser\'ice and laundry, will
be asked. The campus unfortunately cannot
provide accommodations for wives, and the
hotels in South Bend and nearby cities have
long since been sold out for the Commence-
ment and Reunion weekend).
On page 3 of this issue, readers will find
a tentative program of Commencement ac-
tivities. And in the news of their respective
class, also in this issue, most reunioners will
find in detail the news of what has been
contest that the Badgers managed to win
only one set during the entire meet, and al-
though the Irish will miss last year's power-
house, Charles Samson, they gave indica-
tion that they will be among the nation's
best once again during the 1948 campaign.
The "old reliables" on the Notre Dame
court squad again this year are the Evert
brothers. Captain Jerry and Jimmy. The
Everts, winners of the doubles title in the
western indoor meet this Spring while Jim-
my also beat his brother for the singles
championship, arc backed up by such ca-

Notre Dame's golf squad, coached by the

indication of bright things to come during
the 1948 season by a pair of outstanding
performances in the first two matches of
the season.

planned for them by their class secretaries
and reunion chairmen.
Both the class of 1898 and the class of
1923 will have dinners on Friday evening,
June 4, the former in the Dining Hall at
Notre Dame and the latter in the LaSalle
Hotel, South Bend. And the 20-year class
of 1928 will have a fish fry the same eve-
ning, starting at 7 pjn. in the Izaak Walton
League club house, north of South Bend.
The wartime class of 1918, 30 years out,
is gathering its small but potent forces under
the direction of John Lemmer, class secre-
tary, and Father George Holderith, c.s.c,
local reunion chairman, and before this issue
of the ALUMNUS is in the mail class mem-
bers will probably have word of what Father
Holderith has planned by way of a Friday
night gathering.
The class of 1933, sparked by Joe Mc-
Cabe, secretary, and Al Artz and Paul
Boehm, the local chairman and vice-chair-
man, respectively, have lined up the Vets
Recreation Hall on the campus for their
Friday evening party. The boys of 1938
will have a similar party at Manherchor
Hall in South Bend and the latest five-year
class, 1943, will congregate at the Indiana
Club, South Bend.
The class of 1923, with the class of 1898
attending, will be guests Saturday noon at
a luncheon in the University Dining Hall.
All reunion classes will have memorial
Masses on Saturday morning or Sunday
morning or both. And the classes will, of
course, be seated together at the annual
Alumni Banquet on Saturday evening.
It looks like a full weekend.

The 25th U. N. D. Night Observance
The 25th annual Universal Notre Dame
Night was celebrated on April 5, 1948. And
in all ways it was a Night befitting a Silver
Annivcrsarj-.
' Written reports from all over the coun-
tr\', printed in the club section of this issue
of the ALUMNUS, as well as many letters
and much word-of-mouth comment, indicate
clearly that this world-wide tribute to Notre
Dame, initiated by the late John H. Necson,
'03, of Philadelphia, in 1924, reached its
climax in the year 1948.
In the number and caliber of club meet-
ings, in the extent of radio coverage, both
nationally and locally (through the courtesy
of the Mutual Broadcasting System and the
cooperation of many local Mutual outlets),
in constructive newspaper publicity, in the
number of speakers who went out from the
campus, this year's Universal Notre Dame
Night advanced even beyond the remark-
able records of other years.
And there were some notable "firsts."
This year for the first time, with the aid
o* Dan D. Halpin, '31, the main observance
of U. N. D. Night, in Philadelphia, was in
part televised. Through the courtesy of the
National Broadcasting Company, a half-
hour of the program from the Bellevue-
Stratford Hotel went out to the Eastern
television chain.
Prof. Reyniers Beceives Award
And in Chicago, at the Chicago Club's
observance in the Drake Hotel, Prof. James
A. Reyniers, '30, head of the Laboratories
of Bacteriolog)' at Notre Dame, received the
club's first annual award for outstanding
accomplishment by a Notre Dame faculty

member. This was another notable "first,"
and gave merited recognition to a man who
is devoting his years to studies in germ-
free life.
Several clubs began this year the laudable
practice of recognizing by an award an out-
standing member who has contributed in a
special way both to the activities of the club
and to the life of the community. And the
Triple Cities Club in Binghamton, N. Y.,
directed by James H. Hogan, president, built
its Universal Night around a tribute to one
oS its native sons who this year is president
of the National Conference of Catholic
Charities, Rev. Joseph B. Toomcy, '26, di-
rector of charities in the diocese of Syracuse.
Philadelphia Meeting a Sellout
Eleven hundred attended the central ob-
ser\'ance of Universal Night in Philadelphia,
and the ticket sale had to be stopped a week
ahead of the event. Principal speakers were
Rev. John J. Cavanaugh, c.s.c, president of
the University, Dr. Clarence "Pat" Manion,
dean of the Law School, and Frank Leahy,
director of athletics, all of whom were heard
on the half-hour national broadcast of the
Mutual Broadcasting System, and Harry G.
Hogan, president of the Alumni Association.
Jack Lavelle, '28, New York City, -was
toastmaster.
The dinner, following a reception, was
opened with the invocation by Most Rev.
J. Carroll McCormick, auxiliary bishop of
the archdiocese of Philadelphia. Charles
A. Conley, retiring club president, wel-
comed the guests and presented the gavel
of office to John H. Neeson, Jr., '35, new
club president, who is the son of the founder

of the Philadelphia Club, offered the bene-
diction at the end of the dinner. Johnny
McGee and his orchestra supplied music
for the dancing which followed. The
Rhythmaires, a quartette, furnished dinner
music.
The local award of the year's outstand-
ing alumnus in the Philadelphia area this
year went to Harold E. Duke, '30, a direc-
tor of the Alumni Association, who was pre-
sented w t h a scroll in recognition of his
efforts concerned with promoting good will
toward Notre Dame. Dan Young, '22, re-
ceived the same award a year ago.

Private schools conducted according to
religious principles arc the "greatest single
force today for the prcser\-ation of a sound
.-\merica," Father Cavanaugh said in his
widely acclaimed address.
In vigorously defending the private
school, the existence of which, he said, is
being threatened by "competitive state-
sponsored forces," Father Cavanaugh de-
clared, in part:
"It seems to me that the .American private
school, founded on the religious principles
that arc woven into the pattern of American
democracy, and still teaching on the sound
foundation of those principles, is our great-
est single force today for the preservation
of a sound .'\mcrica.

"Church and home can and must, of
course, contribute immeasurably, and are by
nature more fundamental, but only as the
home is implemented in the principles of
the church through the medium of the
schools can we hope for organized strength
sufficient to ofTsct the increasing forces of
a society no longer acquainted with the fun-
damental principles upon which it rests.
".And here wc come to the greatest para-
dox of our time: The verj- private school,
with its religious roots, that seems to be the
salvation of our democracy, is becoming in-
creasingly the victim of competitive state-
sponsored forces which threaten its ver)-
being. It does not take an educator or an
administrator to read in the report of Presi-
dent Truman's Commission on Higher Edu-
cation the potential death knell of many
of our private schools."
Father Cavanaugh pointed out that if
the government "continues increasingly to
pour into the ta.x-supported public schools
the money which will enable them to build
the classrooms, the laboratories, the libra-
ries, the residence facilities, conducive to
the program of modem education; if its
largess permits them to outbid all other
schools for the best faculties in the fields
of learning: and if, on top of that, they can
offer these advantages to young men and
\%'omen free of charge, the fate of the pri-
vate school becomes largely a matter of time
rather than of speculation."
The Notre Dame president continued, in
part:
"And remember, in these highly modem
and thoroughly equipped buildings, bril-
liantly staffed, and filled with all of the
young leaders of tomorrow, God must not
be mentioned. I am sure then that you
will understand why we are concerned, not
just for Notre Dame, but for all private
education.
"From the campuses and classrooms and
laboratories of pri\-ate schools have come
many of the men, many of the advances
in knowledge that have made America
great. They have been the reservoirs of
progress, the fountains ol youth for Ameri-
can leadership. They should be the intel-
lectual Fort Kno.xes, where the gold of
independence is stored against the day

New Fields Open as Foundation
Long-Range Program Progresses
The importance of special forms of giv-
ing in supplementing the annual unre-
stricted gifts of alumni and friends has been
growing and contributing constructive
thinking to the long-range program to solve
Notre Dame's needs.
To reach the tentative and estimated
$25,000,000 figure which represents only
the progress which Notre Dame should en-
joy within the next 10 years, it is the con-
sensus of opinion that all of the programs
of fund-raising which arc being used suc-
cessfully by various agencies must be com-
bined under the program of the Notre Dame
Foundation.
The Annual Alumni Fund is of course
being maintained and developed as one of
the most basic programs, on the success of
which will depend to a large extent the
success of other programs.
The program by which all alumni are
asked to enlist similar annual support from
non-alumni friends should lead to an an-
nual giving program which will parallel and
•which should ultimately outnumber and
outgive the limited alumni program itself.
Corporation Giving
Henr)- C. Wurzer, Foundation Governor
foi Iowa, is the newly appointed chairman
of a Foundation committee to study the ap-
plication of corporation giving as it might
affect Notre Dame. His committee consists
of Foundation Governors John E. Cassidy
(Illinois), Hugh O'Neill (Ohio), John E.
Moore (Michigan) and Galvin Hudson
(Tennessee).
Some implications of this field are con-
tained in excerpts from an article by Laird
Bell in the May Atlantic Monthly:
"Some reasons for corporate interest in
education, not too obvious at first glance,
lie in certain trends of education which
should give corporations increasing con-
cern. Two of these are outstanding, both
involving the heightening of governmental
control of education.
"The first is the ver>- bulk of the in-
stitutions direcdy supported by the state.
Whole cities of students have moved in
upon the state universities, California, Min-
nesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, to name only a
few, have populations in the neighborhood
of 25,000 each. Annual budgets of more
than 25 million dollars are accepted as a
matter of course by the legislatures. To
date, the legislatures have usually kept their
hands off what the educators do with the
money, and the freedom of the state uni-
versities in their educational endeavors has,
OD the whole, been respected. One won-
ders, however, how long legislators will re-
strain themselves as they pour out these
colossal sums.
"Frontal attack upon such freedom is
probably not so threatening as that from
the flank. The happy sport of legislative
investigating committees and the witch hunt
for "reds" in faculties contain hints of con-
trol that don't have to be spelled out for
teachers. And we might as well face the
fact that to the average man, and particu-
larly the businessman, academic freedom is
not an appealing concept. The businessman
is accustomed to giving orders and to firing
people whose actions don't meet with his
appro\-al. He doesn't like to have his own
economic and political views questioned by
persons who never met a payroll, or to have
"impressionable young people" subjected to
acquaintance with "wild theories"; he would
get rid of those disturbing professors. And
legislators think in these respects much as
businessmen do. It is a fair assumption
that the prospect is for more governmental
control rather than less.
HENRY C. WUBZEB
Iowa Foundation Governor
"Well as the state institutions have de-
fended their academic integrity so far, there
can be little doubt that the privately en-
dowed institutions are more secure in their
freedom from political pressure. . . . At
least relatively, the endowed institutions
may be regarded as citadels of freedom
from political domination.
"There is no need to expand on the
plight of the endowed institutions. Teachers
must eat, like the rest of us, and their sal-
aries will have to follow the cost-of-living
curves. State pride can be counted on to
enlarge university appropriations to meet
growing costs. But endowment funds are
not so elastic; rather, their yield has been
drastically cut down. Tuitions cannot be
raised indefinitely in competition with the
The Notre Dcane Alumnus
state-supported schools, even if the colleges
were prepared to disregard the bad social
effect of excluding students of slender
means. At best, mounting costs and falling
income may well snuff out the endowed
lamps of learning in the fairly near future
unless substantial help is forthcoming from
sources which can afford such help. . . .
Endowed Institutions Freer
"There are also subtler results to be
feared. Our own state institutions are not
so free as the endowed to e-xperiment and
to pioneer in untried lines, or in lines which
may in the first instance be looked at
askance by the voters. Or it may be neces- ^'
sEry, in order to get funds for serious proj-
ects, to submit to logrolling and set up
courses demanded by pressure groups, such
as the ology of beauticians in California,
thereby at one stroke debasing higher edu-
cation and dissipating the energies of ad-
ministration over trivialities. . . . A brilliant
project like the Nieman Fellowships at Har-
vard would be almost unthinkable but for
private generosity; a state university would
probably have had to set up one more
school of journalism to grind out mediocre
reporters for whom there are no jobs.
"The possibility of dry rot and mediocrity
settling down upon state-supported schools
without the stimulus of competition from
the freer schools must also be recognized.
The effect of all these factors can be tested
by imagining what it would be like if we
had forty-eight state universities and no
Harvard or Chicago or similar institution to
set the pace; or by contemplating the ex-
tinction of the liberal arts colleges. gk
"A more immediate concern of corporate
business is research. Evidently business con-
siders research worth while. No business
feels itself up to date unless it spends some
money on research, and reports to stock-
holders are full of pictures of handsome
young men in white coats, looking at test
tubes. The idea of research has, it is true,
been debased somewhat as it has functioned
in commerce. There is a tendency to feel
that you put a nickel into the machine and
take out a bottle of research. It covers
everything from cooking up a new plastic to
counting the people that go past the comer
drugstore. There is, however, enough se-
rious research going on in business to make
it clear that managements believe the genu-
ine article to be worth paying for.
"Much excellent scientific work has been
done in corporate laboratories, but it is
necessarily somewhat cramped because it
must be pointed directly at developing a
product or a process that will create profits ^
in the near future. Yet nature doesn't have ^
her secrets departmentalized; a botanist may
 Volume 26, No. 3, May-June, 1948
develop an anesthetic, as has in fact been
done. Yet few corporations can justify staffs
in all branches of learning, while the in-
vestigator in a university can call upon spe-
cialists in nearly every field. Forward-look-
*ing managements art therefore turning
more and more to the widespread facilities
of universities for light on their problems,
and the field has been but scratched."
Wills and Bequests
The possibilities of additional income to
Notre Dame from wills and bequests has
been under study for some months. Presi-
dent Hogan has referred the national study
to a Committee of the Governors and City
Chairmen consisting of James P. Swift
(Texas), Leo B. Ward (Los Angeles) and
E A. Berkery (New York).
.lOHN E. CASSIDY
Illinois Foundation Governor
City Committees have already set up, in
major centers, fourteen special sub-com-
mittees to work in this special field.
A campus conference with .'Archie Palmer,
nationally known authority in educational
fund raising, revealed the significant infor-
• mation that one major university raised six
million dollars in twelve years under such a
stimulated program. Many universities op-
erate a special and very active program in
this one field.
The opportunities will also be presented
to the proposed organization of Notre Dame
law alumni.
Insurance Giving
The many ramifications of possible gifts
to Notre Dame through the medium of in-
surance were discussed at a campus confer-
ence of alumni in the insurance business.
To continue the study of the many
phases of this major field President Hogan
appointed an Educational Committee con-
sisting of Frank Howland, Memphis, chair-
man; Joseph Stewart, Kansas City, vice-
chairman, and Joseph Casasanta, South
Bend, secretary, and a sub-committee on in-
I surance research consisting of Paul Hoef-
fler. Providence, chairman, Jerome Arnold,
Davenport, and James H. Brennan, Chicago.
The conclusions of' the first insurance
conference are of- general interest:
I. The University of Notre Dame Founda-^
tion is primarily concerned with the
raising of money for the University. It
is not properly confined to any chan-
nel, such as an annual fund, wills and
bequests, insurance, annuities, etc., but
should open its efforts to any proper
form of gift.
II. Notre Dame insurance men, it was
unanimously agreed upon by the Com-
mittee, do not want to appear to be
utilizing this field for any personal ad-
vancement. This produced two sugges-
tions :
A. The impetus for insurance giving
should come from some other per-
son (City Chairman, Will and

than an insurance alumnus.
B. In all instances, givers interested in
insurance giving should be advised
to see their own insurance counselor,
and not directed to a Notre Dame
agent.
III. There will, it was suggested, probably
be more potentials in the field of paid-
up insurance, without sales incentive,
than in new sales.
A. Persons with paid-up insurance,
whose obligations have terminated
with the death or maturity of de-
pendents, etc.
B. An exception, which offers a rich
field of attention,, is the conversion
of capital investment in other low-
interest brackets, into insurance an-
nuities.
IV. Whatever the application of effort to
call attention to a field of giving which
all agreed has tremendous possibilities,
it was again unanimously agreed that
insurance was not to be indicated as a
substitute for other forms of giving, but
was to be emphasized only as a supple-
ment to or a perpetuation of annual
giving, or a guarantee of project or
capital giving for endowment (in effect,
insuring the custom or the intention of
donors in all fields).
N.B. The above basic considerations gave
rise to the suggestion of the Committee that
instead of organizing separate Insurance
Committees in each community, the City
Chairman be given the option of simply
making a member of the City Committee a
sub-chairman in the field of insurance giv-
ing, or that the Committee on Wills and
Living Trusts be set up to include insurance
forms of giving as an added objective, with
possibly an insurance man included in its
membership for expert counsel.
Special Gifts
Any program of the scope of the Foun-
dation program must always keep in mind
the special gifts necessary to finance the
major projects planned. The University
Department of Public Relations provides
the nucleus for such a program. Studies are
n
under way for the expansion of the objec-
tives, procedures and penonnd of such a
pn^ram on the larger scale it must reach
in order to provide adequate implementiiig
of the University's pn^ress.
Benjamin Fine, in his bool^ "Our Chil-
dren Arc Cheated," expresses several

bilities and duties are as important as priv^

"American colleges and universities,
jammed beyond capacity, are facing very
serious problems. During the war the col-
leges were in trouble because the student
body had dwindled to a mere trickle. Selec-
tive service had taken most of the eligible'
young men from the campuses; in many in-
stitutions only a skeleton force of students
and faculty members remained.
"With this tremendous enrollment have
come problems of readjustment. Many of
the situations are facing a financial break-
down; a student's tuition fees do not pay
for the cost of his education; the coUeg*
suffers a substantial loss on every student
that it admits. With the onrush of veterans
after the war, the colleges found themselvts
going deeper and deeper into debt. Many
turned to the federal government for help in
maintaining their institutions. Others con-
ducted fund-iaising campaigns to secure
revenues. Still others were forced to bor-
row on their endowment or from the banks
in order to continue.
"Inflated building costs, likevirise, add to
college headaches. Many college officials
are prepared to expand their facilities. They
have allocated sulntantial sums for the con-
struction of new buildings; but the con-

materials aro available. In the meantime

apace. With each passing year the difficul-

The Role of the Notre Dame
Man in the Present Critical Era
Tor God, for Country, and for Notre Dame
The Foundation windows on the South
look out on the Memorial Door of Sacred
Heart Church which commemorates 56
Notre Dame men who gave their lives in
World War I for God, for countr\- and for
Notre Dame. In the vestibule of that same
Church there are presently 327 memorial
plates of the names of Notre Dame men
who made the same sacrifice in World
War II.
In anal>-zing the program for alumni in
the critical period in which we now find
ourselves, the inevitable conclusion is that
all of us must be as steadfast in our prin-
ciples, as valiant in our effort, and as effec-
tive in our example, if this is to be the
peace to end war.
The boys whose names are on those plates
are familiar to all of us. They ask no more
for their heroism than do the living heroes
who have melted into the halls and class-
rooms of today's campus.
But we and our world would be ungrate-
ful indeed if we did not recognize that
against the backdrop of their graves we
have a vital part to play. Unless the actors
take the stage, the value of the setting may
be lost.
Our parts are written clearly in the script
of Notre Dame. They can be outlined under
the beautiful trilogj' that has too long been
identified only with our dead.
"For God—"
In the example of his personal life, in-
structed and inspired by the great Christian
tradition that brought Notre Dame into be-
ing, ever\- Notre Dame man is armed with
the greatest weapon in the conquest of the
modem world.
The atom bomb or biological warfare be-
come secondary- forces in the face of the
apostolate that made twelve humble men
greater conquerors than any of the militar)-
leaders in the historj- of the Christian world.
This, then, is Act 1 for all of us, the
consciousness that the spiritual integrity of
our own lives reaches beyond the goal of
personal salvation and becomes by example
a power of aggression that makes us truly
the most hopeful of the soldiers of civiliza-
tion.
Trained by Notre Dame, we have advan-
tages in this phase of our mission that make
us all in effect officers. .•\nd as our oppor-
tunities have been great, our obligations are
great.
It is not my proWnce to preach. But I
know that you all share with me the rich
tradition of placing first things first, and we
would fail indeed if we did not base our
present program on the immovable rock of
religion.
By JAMES E. ARMSTRONG, '25,
Alumni Secretary and Executive Vice-
Chairman of the University of
Notre Dame Foundation
"For Country—"
We come now to a phase of our mission
that has suffered from neglect. All over
America, there is a restlessness in higher
education which stems from a conscience
that feels our leadership has failed. And
the feeling of failure is aggravated by the
knowledge that this leadership should have
been derived in much larger measure than
it has from the enrichment of our national
mind by the advantages of the greatest sys-
tem of higher education a countrj- has ever
enjoyed.
.•\nd if the broad poverty of leadership
is attributable to higher education generally,
how much more conscience-stricken ought
we be of the religious colleges to be in the
presence of the spiritual bankruptcy of our
leadership.
For even as we have reflected technolog-
ical progress we have seen the failure to
e.vert responsible moral control over the
forces thus created. And our very revered
standard of living has been wasted because
wc have forgotten our standards of life.
We have been blessed with the opportunity
now to restore the fundamental principles of
family and of countr>-. There is almost a
hunger in our country to know why our
victories seem empty and our high produc-
tion potentials seem futile.
A Force for Reconstruction
In Philadelphia, on Universal Notre Dame
Night, Notre Dame men pointed out con-
clusively that in the training of Notre Dame
there is the vitalizing force to reconstruct
the sound patterns of our past.
It is not a complex problem. It resolves
itself largely into bringing to the civic, the
professional, the fraternal groups in which
we move the things that so many of them
have lost, many through no fault of their
own.
It consists of knowing and saying out
loud that unless God builds the house he
labors in vain who builds it.
We do not need to quote papal encyclicals
or councils of bishops, Thomas Aquinas or
Monsignor Sheen, to make these points,
where prejudice might reject them. We
have found that we can quote George Wash-
ington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jeffer-
son, James Wilson, and older Supreme
Courts, who knew well, and who wrote for
posterit\' the famous documents that for
The Notre Dame Alumnus
more than a century were the fully accepted
doctrines of a government that grew great.
We know these things. They are a part
of our heritage as Americans, and more im-
portant a part of our heritage as Notre
Dame men who have been trained to be
leaders.
So we must be articulate. We have un-
derestimated the speed with which secular
influence has widened the breach between
religion and education, and between religion
and government.
The recent graphic examples of the domi-
nance of secular thinking in our courts and
in our schools is only a logical product of
our negligence. But they are also the im-
mediate call t # a duty that is peculiarly
ours to restore by our power of articulation A)
and our clarity of thought the fundamental
principles that must motivate government
and education if democracy as we have cre-
ated it in America is to live. And it must
be interpreted in these same fundamental
aspects of its integration with religious prin-
ciples if it is to be effective in the creation
of world peace.
This is our call to battle for our countr>-,
a call that should be as stirring as any war
cry in our history. Victory will be more
permanent, more satisfying, than any that
America has ever won. Sacrifice will be as
richly regarded as those of the saints or sol-
diers of other times.
"For Notre Dame—"
And we come inevitably to the third great
objective of our program, Notre Dame.
Whatever you may do for God or for
Country will of course reflect in generous ^
measure for Notre Dame. ^"
There is already at Notre Dame a rich
sense of satisfaction in the record of the
Notre Dame men over the years in all of
the fields for which they have been trained,
in all of the challenges they have been
called upon to meet.
There is the unequalled satisfaction of
knowing that what Notre Dame has stood
for during the 106 years of its existence,
what has been the unchanging basis of her
educational processes, is not only unshaken
by the shifting of the century in which it
has flourished, but comes now to the fore-
front of American education as being more
sound in its religious roots, more patriotic
in its preparation of citizens for leadership
in our democracy, and more integrated in
its academic progress to the proper balances
of the changing and the unchanging than
any other system of education.
And there is as a result of this feeling
of rightness a sort of exaltation in accepting ^ '
the challenge to progress that, parado.xic- ^

ally, Notre Dame is meeting at the very
moment of its institutional vindication.
^k. We arc not basking in the security of our
own University conscience and missing the
implications of legislation and philanthropy
that can undo much of the work we have
done, and which can turn our long years of
slow progress into short years of rapid
decline.
So we have organized the spirit of Notre
Dame, which is peculiarly ours, and at the
same time peculiarly contagious to hosts of
friends.
We must meet the challenge of existence
largely on three fronts.
Must Euild Facilities
The first is enrollment. It is important
to Notre Dame and, we believe, to all of the
things for which Notre Dame stands includ-
ing country, family and Church, that the
maximum number of deserving and able
young men be given the advantages of the
education which has now been proved, be-
yond all doubt, to create a responsible lead-
ership no longer a matter of option if our
v.'orld is to live. As you know, we are now
in a period of oversupply of these young
^ men. We are doing all that we can, with
^ their considerate cooperation, to give the
greatest number of them a Notre Dame edu-
cation withoiit sacrificing its essential stand-
ards. We must, however, if we are to hold
to the present enrollment — and we believe
that it is destined to persist for a number
of years to come — build substantially to
create the facilities necessary for proper and
normal realization of our objectives. And
we must have the added financial resources
to create and to hold the proper facilities
for these young men, and to attract and as-
sist such young men from all geographical
areas, and in all fields of training, to secure
their training for leadership at Notre Dame.
The second great field of challenge is
prestige. Here we are face to face with
needs that can only be interpreted in terms
of financial assistance. We must have the
buildings and the equipment to train the
scientists, the law>xrs, the business leaders,
the journalists, the architects, the engineers,
to compete with the modern young men
A from the richly endowed classrooms and lab-
oratories of the greatest private schools and
the increasingly subsidized facilities of the
tax-supported institutions. We must not lose
our faculties to the schools that can offer
them higher salaries. And we must not ex-
pect to ask deserving students, with all the
evidences of ability, to pay fully for educa-
tion which they may obtain without cost in
other schools, or to persist in the expensive
levels of graduate work without help after
they have exhausted frequently modest
means in the undergraduate processes. We
are going ahead within our limits on the
theory that we will enlist the necessary sup-
port to do what we have to do as well as
it can be done anj-where. Our faculties and
our students have demonstrated that they
can produce competitively to the degree to
which they are equipped and financed. Our
prestige presently is sound. ' But we are
encountering intensive development in the
colleges and universities of this country that
indicates we must progress rapidly "ourselves,
or see this prestige ^vane rapidly and dan-
• gerously in the years ahead.

The third challenge is endowment. Ade-

the economic and wartime upheavals that
have affected our most fruitful generations
of alumni.
There are short cuts to meeting our chal-
lenges. The increasing annual giving from
increasing numbers of alumni and friends
can offset greatly the lack of a large capital '
endowment.
From the stimulus of this interest and
understanding there will be bound to come
the occasional alumnus or friend who can
make a capital gift to building or endow-
ment that will represent a major battle in
our long war.
We are erecting a pyramid of support.
Our alumni and our friends are the broad
base. We know that with the loyalty and
the enthusiasm that has been shown, we
will build to the topmost point.
Without this pyramid of support, from
the modest annual gifts as a base to the
high pinnacle of ultimate endowment and
building, Notre Dame, like all private edu-
cation, may find itself losing a battle that
neither church nor state can afford to lose.

facing a new era — an era in which higher
education for all will become the accepted
doctrine. As a result, it is e-xtremely un-
likely that the pressures will be removed
in the foreseeable future. College expansion
zvill become an increasingly important issue.
"Many significant questions come to mind.
How large shall the colleges be? At what
point is expansion undesirable? Shall the
universities be dix-ided into smaller cam-
puses? Will it be more advisable to add new
colleges than to expand the existing ones?
It is obWous that a point is ultimately
reached beyond which the expansion of an
institution is undesirable. At the same time,
unless the colleges are expanded, or new
ones added, millions of -•American youths
TOU be denied the privilege of a higher
education.
Federal Aid
"Sooner or later the American colleges
and universities will have to face the issue
of federal aid. They receive it now in va-
rious forms — through the G.I. tuition fees,
the money for veterans' housing, and the
Army and Navy training programs. But the
next step, it would appear, is that of aid to
the colleges and universities.
"This aid might be given in t\vo forms:
either through scholarship grants to the
students or as subsidies to the colleges them-
selves. Probably a combination of both \vill
be needed. It has been suggested — and
the proposal has met with widespread ap-
proval among prominent educational lead-
ers— that the federal govenmient establish
a systcln of national scholarships. • » * *
"The scholarship program would not be
a radical departure from existing educa-
tional policies. Through the G.I. bill the
government has already set the pattern. Ac-
tually, the money provided to veterans is
scholarship money. I believe that the gov-
ernment should establish a minimum of
500,000 scholarships and fellowships for the
youth of America. When our college popu-
lation reaches 3,000,000, that would mean
that the government would be helping one
out of every six students to earn a college
education. At present it is helping one out
of two under the G.I. bill. It would also
mean, if properly administered, that this
country would place a premium upon abil-
itj- and worth.
" * • • On the average, the tuition rates
have gone up 20 per cent in five years. Still
further rates are contemplated. However,
the point has already been reached where
the tuition is too high for the average stu-
dent. In some instances tuition has jumped
from $350 to $500 and then to $650.
"Then again, raising tuition wU destroy
the very purpose of our higher institutions
—-that of providing an education for all
who are worthy and qualified, regardless of
their station in life. The colleges them-
selves point to four possible solutions: they
can raise tuition further; they can seek
more annual gifts; they can hold financial
campaigns; or they can work for federal
scholarships. Actually, no one of these meth-
ods will be sufficient; the colleges will have
to work out a program that will cover all
four.

Catholic Education
And in an article in the May Catholic

eran's counselor at Harvard University,
sums up a powerful argument for Catholic

A committee of Notre Dame men whose
fathers or grandfathers attended the Uni-

Quarterly Report
Mailed to Alumni
The First Quarterly Progress Report for
1948 has just been mailed to all the alumni
and many friends of the University. The
report is similar to the list of 1947 contri-
butions in the 1948 Manual and Guide.
Special attention is directed to the Per-
tinent Facts about the 6th Annual Alumni
Fund for the First Quarter, 1948. Forty-
two per cent of the alumni have either in-
dicated that they would supplement their
original gifts later in 1948, that they would
secure from non-alumni friends an amotmt
which, with their own gifts, would total
$200, or have sent names of non-alumni
friends to be added to the mailing list of
likely contributors to the University.

25-Year Reunion
June 4-6
As you probably will have heard before this maga-
zine reaches you, the main events of the Silver An-
niversary Reunion, June 4, 5 and 6, have been
worked out by the committtee in charge.
The first big class gathering will be held in the
Bronzcwood Room of the La Salle Hotel, South
Bend, on Friday evening, June 4. The official
class Mass, to be offered fay Rev. JOHN J. CAV-
ANAUGH, C.S.C., president of the Univcisit\-, will
be on Saturday morning, at an hour—not too early—
to he announced later.
Saturday noon, in the Dining Hall on the campus,
the C.S.C. priests who are members of the *23
class, will be hosts to the class at a luncheon. And
Saturday ex'cning at the traditional Alumni Ban-
quet the members of the Silver .Anniversar>' Class
will sit together.
Golf and swimming at your convenience, a base-
hall game on Friday afternoon and another one
Saturday afternoon—these, plus many a "session,"
will fill in all too quickly the comparatively few-
hours of the weekend. Men of *23 will of course
be housed in one hall on the campus. Registration
will take place at a special booth at the entrance to
the campus.
Elsewhere in this issue you'll find a general stor>*
on the Commencement and Reunion weekend. Read
this and shoot along questions, if any, to the Alumni
Office or lo PAUL CASTNER.
You'll recall that the alumni recently cooperated
with the Population Reference Bureau in a survey
of the *23 and *38 classes regarding births. Maybe
you'd like to know the results up to March 31 when
the offidal compilation was made, ^v'ilh regard to
'23. For a comparison with 38, sec the '38 column
in this issue.
One hundred eleven, or 60 per cent, of the cards
mailed were returned. Of th 111 there were 100 who
had married, and these 100 reported 235 births,
for an average of 2.35. Eighty-four of the 100 had
had at least one birth in the family. The average
number of births for the married '23 men reporting
at icast one birth was 2.80.
According to the sur\-cy, the leaders in the class,
each reporting eight births, are LOUIS A. DESMET,
Chicago, and ANTHON'Y M. JACKSON, Assump-
tion, 111. (Remember, we're writing only about the
men who returned cards., JIM MARTIN, Chicago,
had a long talk with BER.\ARD VOLL. He is with
with seven, is in the next spot, followed by ROG
KILEY, Chicago, HERB VALKER, Oak Park, III.,
and GEOFFREY BURKE, Albanv, N . Y., all with
six. T O M LEAHY, Scranton. Pa., CLIFF DOLL,

all repotting five births, are next in line.

20-Year Reunion
June 4-6
From L O U B U C K L E Y :
As T U R K M E I N E R T very effectively stated in a
recent letter, "interest and enthusiasm in our 20-
>-ear reunion in June is certainly running high all
over the country." As of April 8, 218 classmates
have indicated they expect to attend the reunion.
Distance docs not seem to interfere, as \vc have five
men coming from California a n d a large number
from New England. T h e fact t h a t alt of our medical
men intend to be present indicates that pressing
business will not keep many away.
If possible, plan to arrive before 6 p . m. Friday,
J u n e 4. As you arrive at the entrance t o the campus,
register at the alumni booth where you will be
given a name badge and directed to the *28 residence
hall which will be Morrissey Hall. T h e WAG-
NER-SEARER local committee will greet you at
the Friday night party and give you the '28 novelty
identification.
At 7 p . m . transportation will be arranged from
the Hall to the Izaak Walton League Lodge located
off Dixie Highway across from Healthwin Hospital.
Those driving will be given a m a p showing how t o
get to the party. There will be signs up along t h e
wav to direct you to it. It is absolutely essential
that you drop a card to W I L L A R D WAGNER at
once, if you have not done so, reserving a ticket to
the fish fry a n d get-together. Wagner's address is
1437 East McKinley .Ave., South Bend. Wag is do-
ing his usual fine job. so let's show our appreciation.
J O H N I G O E has arranged for F A T H E R M . \ T -
T H E W WALSH, C.S.C., to offer the Mass for the
living '28 men on Saturday morning, J u n e 5, at
9:30 a. m. in the Morrissey Hall chapel. We
arc fortunate in having the man who was president
during our years at Notre Dame as celebrant.
The '28 men will be seated together at the an-
nual Alumni banquet Saturday night in the Univer-
sity Dining Hall.
Sunday morning the Mass for the deceased '28
men will be said by F.ATHER GALLAGAN, C.S.C.,
in the Morrissey Hall chapel. Father Gallagan,
as you know, was chosen by class vote to be cele-
brant of this Mass. Frank and Jim O'Toole. sons
of our deceased classmate F R A N K O ' T O O L E and
the first sons of a '28 man to attend Notre Dame,
will ser\e this Mass. F R A N K C R E A D O N reports
that the reaction of the fellows in Chicago is ver>'
enthusiastic to his plan to have the '28 Glee Club
sing the Mass. Frank intends to have the '28 Glee
Clubbers who reside in the vicinity of Chicago get
together for a few rehearsals prior to J u n e 6, so
that they might get into the same shape they were
in twenty years age.
BILL KEARNEY is making arrangements for the
*28 class golf tournament for Sunday. .-V tournament
sheet will be placed at the starting point so that
all *28 players can post their names and their
scores. Bill advises there will be a trophy for the
winner. Judge M A U R I C E C O N L E Y will arrange
for a Softball game.
I am sure you will agree with me that BERNIE
G.ARBER and his Publicity Committee are doing an
excellent job. L E O McIN*TYRE and D . W E G I B -
SON have been added to the men previously an-
nounced as members of that outstanding committee.
If you haven't completed Bernic's questionnaire for a
class history, please do so at once and send it to
him at 8ih Floor, 33 West 60th St., New York 23,
N . Y. Bcrnie and some of the members of his com-
mittee, including J O H N M c M A H O N and L E O Mc-
I N T Y R E , are not only preparing publicity material,
but are actually taking care of the printing and
mailing. Since this involved addressing and mailing
some 500 letters for each mailing, it is a huge job
a n d a very costly one. Wc a r e deeply indebted to
these men for their great contribution to our reunion.
T h e other men assigned to committees to promote
attendance are doing a fine job. T o date, I have
heard of the following work by this g r o u p : T U R K

SPOTLIGHT ALUMNUS
Back of the harmony between manage-
ment and labor that kept war plants of
Portland, Ore., himmiing and free of labor
unrest were the efforts of a hard-working,
persuasive priest, the Very Rev. Thomas J.
Tobin, ' 2 0 . S.T.D., j . c j ) . , LL.D.
Father Tobin, pastor of All Saints Church
VERY BEV. THOMAS I. TOBIM
and Vicar General of the Archdiocese of
Portland, managed to find enough time, de-
spite numerous parish and diocesan duties,
to take over as chairman of the Portland
Labor Stabilization Joint Board of Appeal.
When the board was set up in October,
1942, labor and management were unani-
mous in their choice of a neutral public
chairman. The three-man board was given
complete authority over movements of work-
ers from one plant to another and over
labor-management disputes. The Oregon
director of the U. S. Employment Service
went to the WMC chairman in Washington
to convince him that Portland didn't need
a federal board since it was doing its own
job.
Father Tobin maintained a deep interest
in labor problems after the war. On Jan.
17, 1948, he was appointed to the Wage
and Hour Conunission. , how he is observing Lent in the inquiring reporter
After being graduated from Notre Dame,
Father Tobin studied at North American
College in Rome until 1925, when he was
ordained. From 1933 to 1936 he attended
Gregorian University in Rome, where he re-
ceived his doctorate in Canon Law,
One of the West's foremost authorities on
canon law, he was appointed chancellor of
the Archdiocese of Portland in 1936, and
Vicar General in 1940. An ardent advocate
of the Liturgical Movement, he has in this
field alone done work that is described by
a fellow priest as "simply stupendous."

From J I M COLLINS:
A recent letter from WEE HARRINGTON points
out that he is bothered with a common malady—
trying to keep up with the addresses and other
members ol the class.
"Each month," Wee sa>-s, "I hungrily grab for
the ALUMNUS only to be sadly disappointed in the
lack of news concerning the last class of '32. As
I recall most of them could read and write. Could it
be that it didn't take?
*T think it would be a very good idea if some
attempt was made to set up a complete list of the
class, the present occupations, size of the families,
present addresses, etc. How about putting out a feeler
in the next issue of the ALUMNUS?
"I went to the Army game and tvas a comnlete
stranger. CHARLIE HITZELBERGER was to have
gone along, but Jn the last minute was forced to
continue the struggle to pile up the surtax net in-
come. In three days on th campus I ran into one
lone . member of the class of '32—Buffalo BILL
HALL. In one hour in a local pub I met the only
other member of said class—ED KELLY, who was
very down in the mouth as he had just learned that
GENE CONNOLLY had more children than he
has.
" I see AL WATERS and DICK BOHNSACK reg-
ularly. AI is with the Middlesex County Probation
Dept., and Dick is coaching a basketball team. (No
names can be mentioned as he is very sensitive about
their record.)
"A couple of weeks back I ran into JIM O'CON-
NOR—he is now with the FBI. BILL MURPHY is
connected with the U . S. Marshal's oRice in New-
ark, and evidently leading a \*erv interesting life.
I ha\-e written SOL BONTEMPO but cannot get
any resnonse. T O N Y GUI^FRE has become a board
and splinter man with the Ira Crouse Lumber Com-
pany in Perth Amboy. By the way. Hitrclberger has
^ v e n no shoe laces and is now selling bufHng pads
—^I think it is from door to door as you cannot
sell wholesale at night."
Thanks, Wee, for a fine letter. Does anvone else
feel the need of such a directory of the class? If
so, droD me a note and I'll see what can be done
about it.
BILL CONATON was in Dayton for a day re-

and a great guy.
Those are all the details we can supply as we

pep-talk inomotion to get all hands drooling with
anticipation for the arrival of Reunion. But shucks
. . . you're probably as tired of reading that lug

Reunion means—how much solid, unforgettaUe sat-
bfactioo there is, mixed with the gayer highlights
of Auld Gai^r Myne. The fun, the memories, the
quiet satisfaction will be there, waitii^ for every-

tome from PHIL HOSTERM.AN, now a travelling

makes his home in Seattle, living at 4807 Hudson St.
He writes: **Vou will probably have to turn back
the pages of history a few years in order to identify
the wTiter and a few of the names mentioned ^k
herein. . . . It happens that I'm on the road for the V
abow concern covering most of Washington, western
Idaho and northwestern Oregon. This offers an

"Say, I'd sure be interested in knowing a little

Thanks, Phil, for the wonderful letter. We hope
those fellows mentioned will get in touch with you
directly and drop us a note for inclusion in the
column. Incidentally. Phil Hosterman is one fellow
whom I think I could recognize an>-*vhere, any time
and under almost any circumstances.
Another piece of mail from the West Coast, this
time a birth announcement post marked Los .An- ^
geles, went a long way tou-ard solving the riddle of ^B^
"what e\-er became of MART H U S U N G ? " The
 Volume 26, No. 3, May-June, 1948
frard announced the birth of Karen Elizabeth to
Martin and Grace Ilusung, who have two other
, ^
^^fp
children, Brian and Kathleen. Mart received his
law degree from N.D. in 1939. Wish he'd write xis
-*' a nice long letter, which when stripped of its legal
verbiage, might throw some further light on his
recent activities. The Hiisung*s address is 1637 Hilts
.•\ve., Los Angeles 24.
Coming further east, we received a card about
a month or six weeks ago from Dr. HERBERT E.
LANDES, M.D., who announced his association with
EDWARD T . WILSON, M.D., '37, with offices at
30 N . Nfichigan Ave., Chicago 2. The doctors are
limiting tlicir practice to urology, according to the
announcement.
BEX SCHERER, violin virtuoso of the class, sent
us a clipping from the Bridgeport (Conn.) Post
of the announcement of the engagement of Dr. ^11-
CHAEL R. SCULLY to Miss Mar>- Louise Mc-
Quecny. Perhaps by the time this item sees print
the couple will have been married, since May 15
was the date set for the wedding, the clipping states.
It also points out that Mike was graduated from
Columbia Medical School following his graduation
from Noire Dame. His address is given as 3263
Main St., Bridgeport. Ben, who is living at 12
Orchard Ave., in Port Chester, N . Y., unfortun-
ately omits any details as to his own activittes.
Moving east again with a report on the mail, this
lime it's a letter from our very wonderful, priestly
classmate FATHER CRONAN (BOB) KELLY
O.F.^L, in Rome. The big ticws about Cronan is
that he expects to return to the United States
around June 12 for a visit. He'll probably go back
^^ to Rome, unless this puts the whammy on him,
^ where he's been stationed with the Procurator Gen-
eral for about the past year.
The mail having been dispensed with, I'll tr>* to
recollect all the neu-s of any members of the class
whom I've met or heard from over the telephone
lately. First, there's JOE Q U I N N of Newton, N . J.,
and the limestone business. I met Joe in New York
along about the end of January at a luncheon of
the Circus of Saints & Sinners. There, too. I met
GREG RICE and GEORGE KEENAN, '38, fellow
Jerseyite of Joe's and mine. Joe seems to be doing
ver>' well for himself in the gravel business, but so
far has avoided any entangling marital alliances. I
think it was Joe who told about WILFRED KIRK
receiving a fellowship or scholarship to study at the
Har\'ard Business School for a year or so. Will had
been Grand Street branch manager for National
City Bank, I believe. The scholarship award, it
seems to me, was given on a competitive basis,
which is darn good for an old Phy. Ed. man, what.
Then, on the other horn of the dilemma you have
HARRY MARR, A.B. and all that sort of thing,
who is doing extremely well as a football coach.
Speaking of doing well, did you know that MARK
LONERGAN is probably the class leader in the
stork derby with four kiddies, and that VINCE
HARTNETT, when last heard from, was negotiating
with one of the large producers to write a well-
^^ known radio show, one script for which had already
'(^ been accepted?
JOE SCHILLING recently became associated with
Robinson Brothers-Buffalo Ammonia Works, Brook-
lyn, as plant manager. Formerly with E. F. Drew
Co., Joe lives in East Orange with his wife and
three children. Joe tells me he has bought a house in
Livingston, N . J., where he »vill move shortly.
I sat with E D HUISKING at on of the luncheons
during a recent soap convention in New York, but
missed Ed, and saw brother DICK instead at the
big dinner of the Drug. Chemical and Allied Trades
Section of the New York Board of Trade at the
Waldorf in March.
While in Baltimore during Januar>'. I had a sort
of farett-eH luncheon with CY STROKER. My duties
at the office have been shifted somewhat so that I
don't expect to be going to Baltimore once a month
to close a magazine. Cy said at that time he had
hopes of a possible transfer eventually to New
York, but I have heard nothing further on it from
him.
I would have spent a weekend with J O H N WAL-
LACH if I had been able to join my regular re-
treat group for three da>-s at Mt. Manresa, but
events prevented my going, so I'll have to adopt the
Brooklyn motto and "Wait 'til Next Year."

K^Yeor Reunion
June 4-6
From HAL WILLIAMS:
The top spot this isnie goes to PAUL H U G H E S
(310 Peterson Building, Flint 3 , Mich.) for this
letter which tvas folded around Ids contribution for
the 10-year reunion fund. He writes,
**Herc's a brief history of myself: I married a
little Irish girl from Flint in 1940. We now have
two girls and a boy—2, 4 and 6. Beginning in 1943,
Uncle Sam had a mortgage on my life for 23
months, nine days, four hours, ten minutes and
thirty seconds. I spent most of my time in the hiUs
of Idaho at Farragut. I spent fi^'c years with my
brother in the collection business and on Nov. 1,
1947, was appointed trustee for the Charles H .
Mann estate in Flint. Our job is to mortgage proi>-
erty, collect and buy land contracts, invest in bonds,
etc.
"See GEORGE McDERMOTT quite often and
he says he is going to write youj but guess he is
too busy. He is married, has three children and
lives in Flushing, Mich., about ten miles from
Flint. He travels for the Hickok Belt Co:, I also
saw T E X HAGGAR and JACK MAHONEY at one
of the N . D . football games last fall. O h yes, abo
bumped into GEORGE HOWARD. I see Bin>
SHERWOOD occasionally; the Shcrwoods have a
beautiful baby boy. . . . I would like to know
D E N N Y EMANUEL'5 address or would appieciate
hearing from him.** [Secretary's note: See below].
BOB LEONARD, writing from Nanticoke Acres,
Seaford, Del., says, **Just a few words to let you
know that I*m planning on attendii^ the reunion.
I'm drivii^ out from Wilmington and I'U have
room for four others besides myself. I'm writii^ to
E D WRAFE and FRANK BRIGHT to ask if they
want to go along. . . . Frank is practicing law in
Franklin, N . J. H e left the FBI about two years i ^ o ,
you know. He and Joan now have two children (a
boy and a girl). BILL BRANNIGAN is in San
Francisco, I hear. E D WRAFE will graduate from
Harvard in June and I hear be plans to teach at
Notre Dame. I am still with duPont, manufacturing
nylon. We have three children—two boys and a
girl, Severely Teresa, who was bom in August."
And then came this note from JOE MOORE, "Just
got back from Florida last night and the ALUMNUS
was on my desk this morning. I note your appealing
last paragraph so I'm enclosing a dieck. P.S. I got
a letter frtHn J O H N PINAS. H e can be reached
care of T E X Bearing Co., Brii^eport, Conn. Quite
a few of the boys have lost touch with him." Joe's
address is Detroit Ball Bearing Co. of Michigan,
48-50 West Fulton St., Grand Rapids 2, Mich.
The following day this post card arrived from JO-
SEPH G. ALLI (3340 Baltimore, Indianapolis 18,
Ind.), "I would like to say hello to JOE CALLA-
HAN, JOE DeFRANCO and ALEC SHELLOG
through your column." •
RAY E. LONGSTRETH (928 Laurel Avenue,
Zanesville, O.) writes, "In an effort to make your
latest vocation, the promotion of greenbacks, a bit
easier, enclosed please find the equivalent of fifty
beeis (Milwaukee price quotation). Assuming that
your pleading is founded on the basis of charity
and further believing that charity is repud a
hundred*fo!d, I'd like to warn you that I expect to
see about fi\e thousand beers lined up at SWEDE
BAXJER's farm—this should be a fair start for the
'38 gang."
JOHNNY D i MATTEO (509 Montgomery St.,
Miamisburg, O.) writes the foUowing: "At present
I'm associated with my brothers in the wholesale
produce business. Last January my brother CHAR-
LIE, '34, and I opened the Dt Matteo Sphaghetti
House here. Only periodically do I don the dieTs
cap and make with the spaghetti and meat balls
while Charlie manages out front.
*'REX WEAVER, who was my roommate in
Walsh Hall, is serring his first term as j u i ^ of the

Rex was elected last November after having served
as citj' solicitor prior to his army ser\'icc with the
counter-intelligence corps. McCARTY and ARBOIT
are three up on me. All I have to ofTer are two
candidates for St. Mar>-'s, class of '61 and '66. Hope
to see all the bo>-s at the reunion."
Now to render a public accounting of the money
that I have received for the 10 year reunion funds
(some ol this w:is accounted ior In the April issue) :
T o m MuUigan $1.00 Ray Longstreth 5.00
Joe Moore „ „ _ 2.00 Tom Hutchinson 1.00
Paul Hughes „ 1.00 Johnny Di Mattco . _ 5.00
This $15, along with my own two dollar contribu-
tion, has been forwarded to J O H N N Y PLOUFF.
On April 10, D O N HICKEY, chairman of the
South Bend reunion committee, wrote that Plouff
has received about $85 so far for expenses. Don
also passed along this information: *'Dr. 'GOMER
JONES' HUGHES dropped in the other day. He
stopped by school to see the fifth pre-med Hughes,
and then was s^'i^S o" ^^ ^ ^ another brother at St.
Louis ^fedical School. OWEN KANE reports that
he, "BABE" KELLY and GARTLAND have their
wives 'sold* on the reunion weekend. MIKE
'DUTCH' 2ELLER called in .April. He is traveling
for the Civic Music Company and raises and races
horses during the summer." .And then, with char-
acteristic modest>', Hick tacks this P.S. on his
letter, *'I'm manning .Anne Jo Mullen in Los .An-
geles on June 19." Congratulations, Hick. There
goes one of the last of the confirmed bachelors..
Hick enclosed all the letters Johnny Plouff has
received. 1*11 merely note the names and addresses

Well, that's it, bo\-s. The committee is working hard
and the reunion plans arc well laid. A great many
of you have made plans to attend the reunion but
ha\*en't come across with that initial t\vo dollars
^•et. Let's get the money in right away to the re-
union treasurer, Johnny PIoufT, assistant business
manager of the University. We need that money for
mailing and down payments on refreshments.
Make ""plans to attend, send in that two bucks,
convince your wife that it will do you good—
spiritually and ph>'sically—to attend—and then travel
out to Notre Dame to see all your old friends and
classmates.
See you at the reunion!

LOUIS F. BUCKLEY
Louis F. Buckley, '28, associate regional
representative of the Social Security Boaril
in Cleveland, lecturer on labor economics at
Western Reserve University, and president
last year of the Catholic Economic -Asso-
ciation, is the current president of the
Catholic Conference on Industrial Problems.
Louie, as secretary of his class since 1928,
is preparing plans for the class' 20-year re-
union on June 4, 5 and 6. He has for the
past 15 years been vitally interested in the
Catholic Conference on Industrial Prob-
lems, which endeavors to bring about a bet-
ter understanding of labor and management
problems. He said:
"Although we are not able directly to
solve problems of labor and management,
we have been able to promote study of labor
and management abuses and foster a better
understanding of industrial problems . . .
We will try to present the solution in the
light of the Papal Encyclicals."
Convinced that unions eventually will at-
tain to the dignity of the old-time guilds,
he- believes that radicals in labor are losing
ground, although he says that they present
a serious threat.
"Management and labor must learn to
have mutual respect and confidence. . . .
The way to a solution is through reviewing
labor difficulties in the light of the Papal
Encyclicals, which point out to labor and
management the rights and duties of each."
Louie taught economics at Notre Dame
for 10 years and at Catholic University for
three years, and was a guest professor at
American University in Biarritz, France. He
is a director of the Alumni Association and
a member of the American Economic Asso-

Not long JTO, you'll recall, the Alumni Office
cooperated with the Population Reference Bureau
in a sun-ey of the '23 and '38 classes regarding
births. You'll be interested in the results. (For a ^
comparison with '23, see the '23 column in this 9
issue.) .
Three hundred twenty-eight, or 68 per cent,
of the cards mailed ivere returned up to March 31,
when the official compilation was made. Of the 328,
there were 278 who had married, and these 278
reported a total of 525 births, or an average of 1.89.
T w o hundred and forty-one of the 278 had had at
least one birth in the family. The average number
of births for the '33 men reporting at least one birth
was 2.18.
According to the sun-ey, the leaders in the class,
each reporting five births, were J O H N BUCKLEY,

From BOB SANFORD:
The postman was keeping our spirits up for a
while, but during the lost month the letters stopped.
We hope these letters which we are passing on to
you at this time will inspire you to decide to "GET
T H A T NEWS OF CLASS OF '40 O N T O
SHORTY."
HARRY STEVENSON sends us the first news for
this issue, written under the following letterhead:
"Sporting Goods, Stevenson and Troy, 17 S. War-
ren St., Dover, N . J." and he says: "The letter-
head will save a long-winded explanation and at the
same time spare you some very gruesome details.
Let it suffice to say that my present field of endeavor
stems from a natural aversion to hard work. It is
only fair to add that this 'natural* aversion was nur-
tured, polished and developed to a very high lustre
after three >*ears with Uncle Sam.
"Since *40 my personal fortunes include a very
lovely wife, an astute j-oung daughter of four years
(getting so I can't even fool her any longer) and
last but not least, one poor, miserable Oldsmobile.
"I see some of the guys ever>' now and then—
JOE AfcKEON drops in on us here at the store, at
which time I nail him for a soda. GEORGE PLAIN
and HANK BORDA usually make the monthly
meeting in Newark. Both George and Hank appear
very prosperous.
"I haven't been back to South Bend since '40, ex-
cept for a brief glimpse from the windou3 of a
troop train 'way back in 1942. I hope to make it
for one of the games next fall."
A great letter, Harr>-, please keep them coming.
We all enjoy hearing from you and are looking for-
ward to the next one.
Next ive h a \ e ne»-s from PHIL D O N O H U E who
writes: "In the service, I visited with many No-
tre Dame fellows, too numerous to mention.
"Enjo/ed a happy reunion with some golfing team-
mates at Dcs ^foines during the 1947 Western Ama-
teur. BILL CASTLEMAN, T O M M Y SHEEHAN,
and SAM NIELD were there. Missed *SHORTY'

pleasure of losing in the third round to Bud Ward,
National-Western title holder.
"Am in the cattle business, having spent many
months in Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Texas,
and other western states during the past two years.
Now I am permanently located in Sioux Falls, S. D . ,
heading Rice Brothers Live Stock Commission.
"Incidentally, if any pheasant or duck hunters
venture out here, tell them to drop in because I
never pass up a shooting party. Wonder where all

of them are B U D K O T T E . JACK HACKETT,

PINDAR.
"AIwa>-s glad to read your column, 'Shorty* and
I hope ever>one responds to your call for news."
I certainly do hope that other members of our class
respond as well as you did Phil. Thank you very
much for that fine letter.
By the way, Bill Fay, as sports editor, is now
writing a sports column for the weekly magazine,
CoUier*s, He is certainly doing a very good job and
I have enjoyed all of his articles which I have seen.
JIM D O N O G H U E started a letter on stationery of

He is paymaster at Marshall Field & Co., and is do-
ing a good job of it. He is married and living in
Evanston. Another member of the class in the de-
partment store field is T O M LISTON. He is with
Mandel Brothers, and is responsible for the proper
functioning of the store on State Street. The next
nearest thing to the department store field inchides
T A D HARVEY, who is with Simmons Mattress
Company. We saw him at lunch one day, and I
almost fell over at the size of him—he has taken
off a lot of weight, but still looks like he could
handle himself in any situation.
"JOHN HENEBRY, of whom I have been very
proud, due to his splendid military record, is funr-
tioning at Chicago Douglas Airport in his own busi-
ness, called Symotive. I am not sure of the tech-
nical details, but they play nursemaid to airplanes
of all sizes, especially the large ones owned by the
larger crorporations. John is also active in the Air
Reserve, and has a responsible command.
**TOM BARRY, ex-40, and one of your fellow
townsmen, promised me several times that he would
call you when he got up to Milwaukee, and that
was one reason why I postponed this writing. H e
is with McGraw-Hill Publishing Co., and sells ad-
vertising space for their electrical trade magazines.
We are associated in the Marine Corps Organized
Reserve in Chicago. Tom is C O . of *A* Co., and
I hold down the battalion operations job.
"I see one group of fellow? that are as close now
as they were when in school. They gather every
Wednesday at noon and include T O M DUFFY, a
practicing attorney, JACK HUSSEY, also a lawyer,
but working with Foote, Cone, & Belding, an ad-
vertising firm, DICK DILLON, JACK HENNESSY
and BILL GEDDES."
Good work, Jim, I'm looking for the rest of that
letter, because the part received certainly was in-
teresting. That's two Donoghues heard from, we
are waiting for the rest of you now.
BOB SULLIVAN uses the stationco' of the Col-
lege of Law at the University of Notre Dame to
give us the following message: "As you can see, I
am a member of the law faculty here at Notre
Dame. In September of 1947 I forsook the practice
of law in Lima, O., and returned here. Appar-
ently I was not alone as our classmate GEORGE
WALLACE is gracing the halls of the Commerce
School as an associate professor of Finance. JOE
MILLER, a combination student with a degree in
Conunerce in 1941 and Law in 1942, although ac-
tually one of us, is abo teaching in the Commerce
School and at the same time working towards his
C.P.A. in South Bend. Others in the combination
course, who are actually men of '40, save for the
oiHdal record, put in an appearance at the Army
game and gave a running account of their activities
since graduation.
"ED KELLY is in Chicago doing legal work for
the Mcister Brau Brewery Corporauon. JOHN

Sully, let me tell you that it is men like you who
make my duties as class secretary an easy job. W e
certainly appreciate your exceptional letter and are
lookii^ fonrard to your next one. Thanks a million.
Bob, you certainly have contributed well to t h u c t ^
umn.
Out east to 62 Lewis Road, Merrick, L . L , N . Y.,
where R E D MARTIN of track fame is now livii^.
Red has this to say: "To bring you up to date on
myself I started out at Fordham Law School after
I left Notre Dame. Got through a year and two
thirds before I was called to active duty with the
Navy. Went to indoctrination school in the first dass
at Notre Dame, csme back to New York and yns
commissioned in August of 1942- Spent another four
years here and there in the Pacific and ended up as
a lieutenant commnnder in Washington, D . C After
being separated I returned to Law School and wai
graduated last June, have been admitted and am now
practicing in the legal department of the Preferred
Accident Insurance Co. of New York.
"After separation from the Navy I was married to
Rita E. Cordts of Jamacia, N . Y., and we spent
our honeymoon—my eighty-five days terminal leave—
touring 'he U . S. and Canada. H a v e ' now settled
down in our own home in Merrick, L. I. and
dreaming of ways to make enough money to send
my son—a ten-month-old red head—to Notre Dame.
"Get around to the New York Alumni Club meet-
ings and have picked up the follovnng information:
E D BADDOUR, a southerner, has come north* and
is now working here in the d t y ; JIM ROGERS is
still with the FBI and doing swell; T O M F O R D
recently finished Harvard Law School and is now
with some large N . Y. law firm; JOE MANGANO
is getting slimmer e\ery day; JIM CAWLEY is work-
ing on the editorial staff of Haire Publications and
supporting a ^unily; E D FULHAM recently arrived
in N . Y. to work for Chase National Bank, has giv-
en up newspaper work ff>r this advertising job;
PETE REILLY was in my class when I started back
in 1940, but he came home a little sooner and
therefore was able to get practicing law with a
firm here in the d t y .
"My roommate D O U G BANGERT—Major Bang-
ert—is still in the Marines. As you probably read he
did a fine job during the war. Helped sink a battle-
ship, was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross,
and ended up with command of his own TBF squad-
ron at Okinawa. He has since commanded a fighter
squadron and only recently finished a special train-
ing course at Quantico. He is now assigned to the
Amphibious Force of the Atbntic Fleet as aircraft
support officer. He's married, has two children, a
jirl and a boy.
" C U R T HESTER was back east last summer and
came up to New York for a couple of rushed v ^ t s .
He was in training at the FBI schfwl at Quandco.
He finished training in August and has since been
assigned to Butte, Mont., and reports he is get-
ting along in great style. GREG RICE, '39, was
televised last Saturday night at the N e w York A. C
track meet. In fact he broadcast the two-mile run
in which my kid brother FRANK, ex *46, ran
third. Greg is still with the Marx Toy Co. and en-
joys his work. Frank tells me that CHARLIE PA-
T E R N O is a resident at the hospital where he
trains.
"What ever happened to T E D JOCHEMS? I sup-
pose E D M C L A U G H L I N is around these parts now,
althoi^h I ha\-en't seen him."
Thanks very much Red, a marvelous job, we are
pleased, make us pleased again real soon.
The last letter for this issue—sorry there aren't
more, but I am looking for a big response to this
plea—comes from JOE LARKIN. Joe has this to
say: "My story since that memorable graduation
day in June of 1940 reads as many others. Into
service in 1940 ( U . S . N . ) , out in 1945. I found time
to journey to the chapel at Notre Dame in 1942
where FATHER BRENNAN married us. In August
1943 I acquired a son, J. W., Jr."
 36
Joe continues: " N o w for the part where your
eyes pop. O n March 1, 1946 my wife, Elizabeth,
gav-e birth to twin bo>'s, named Frankie and Teddy
after my two brothers. O n March 4, 1947 we dupli-
cated the above performance with another set of
twins, t h i s ' l i m e a boy, James Arthur, and a girl,
J a n e Ann. T h u s , Notre Dame is assured of fine
backfield material about 1960, plus one contribution
to St. Marj-*s.
'*I a m engaged with my father in the sale of
heav-v- construction machinerj- in central Penns\-K-ania
area, with headquarters in Harrisburg. L.ater w*e
hope to manufacture machinery*.
"You mentioned C L I P L E C H T E R (Washington
office FBI) in the ALUMNUS column. Cliff is now-
associated u i t h our outfit. H e has a charming wife
and two husk>* boj-s.
"Saw BILL SYRING in Washington a couple of
times. H e is planning to practice law on his own.
Often wonder about mv old roommate BUD G E N T -
-VER and T O N Y M A L L E C K and J O E AfAN.VIX,
don't these fellows ever send any news?'*
I hope these fellow's take example from you, Joe,
and ]et the rest of us know about themselves. You
Certainly rate a good nod, and I'm sure you are
ver>' happy with your fine family. Please send any
more news along as soon as you hear about it.
Thanks for a great letter, Joe.
X o more letters to pass on at this time, but I ex-
pect the rest of you to furnish me with some material
for this column. Saw T E D BRUSH the other day,
but he was so bus\" with his own engineering con-
sultant business that he didn^t have time to tell m e
what to say about him. I have recently acquired the
title of Certified Public .Accountant and have man-
aged to keep verv- busy this past income tax time.
Let me leave each and ever>- one of you with this
one inspiring thought:

From BILL SCANLAN:
I t ' s great to see some of the '42-ers taking a vital
role in heading Notre Dame clubs around the coun-
try-. No less than five presidents of clubs were in our
class. Take a bow: F L O Y D (SLUSH) R I C H A R D S .

From S T E V E G R A L I K E R of Decatur, 111., comes
this: " W h a t ' s happened to the Class of '42? N o
news is good news is consoling, but very D U L L .
T h e latest I've got is the engagement of Mary
Ellen O'Conncr of Winnetka, 111., to J A M E S F .
M c N U L T Y , J r . , of Chicago. They plan to b e mar-
ried in the fall. T h e ^BarrcU' contends he had the
situation well in hand, but no matter how you hear
it, it's still Leap Year.
"While in Chicago not long ago J I M M c N U L T Y ,
J O E ILARTGES, '39. and I saw BILL S T U R B I T S
ascending an escalator. H e waved hesitantly and
made the next one down to see who it was. Also

stand BYRON KANALEY, J r . , "broke i n " a new
Cadillac sedan en route to Florida this winter. I

had a comrade in arms for at least a vcar.
"While driving to the N.D.-Na\-y game Jast Octo-

Nice going, Steve.
While dashing for an L C. at the Randolph
St. station in Chicago recently, I ran into
ANDY G O R K A . He's with Kraft Foods, as an
electrical engineer. He's married and that night he
came over to Pullman Bank—that's where I ' m hold-
ing forth now in the advertising dept. Andy had
with him .Andy H I . Andy's Na\-\- career sent him t o
Cornell for a spell and there he ran into LARRY
K E L L Y , P A U L L I L L I S and T R U K S H U R E K . H e
also hears from BOB H E I L occasionally. Bob heads
a Coca Cola firm in the big town of Urichvillc, O .
It's near Denison.
In addition to Cornell, Andv also spent some time
at M . I . T . and Harx^rd. H e also sees J O H N G I L -
B E R T , Caterpillar Tractor Co., Peoria, once in a
while, and D O N F I E G E L . While stationed at Mare
Island. Calif., where he was married, Andy bumped
into T O M G E S E L B R A C H T , a ship designer. Tom
was best man a t .Andy's wedding.
It's a bit late but last fall I was best m a n a t
G E O R G E U H L ' s wedding. It was a fine example of
the \-alue of direct mail advertising. George is now
one of Sinclair Oil's engineers and found a home in
East Chicago for the new Mrs. in short order.
PAUL D E R R Y came over for the wedding, in Chi-
cago. H e u a s with the Eli Lilly Co., pharmaceuticals.

T O M P O W E R S is currently one of A R C H
W A R D ' S aides on the Chicago Tribune's sports .-m
staff but h e found time to round up a nifty New j[
York Daily News hem on Detecti\-e J I M B U R K E .
It was all about the stories of several New York
policemen and their sons following in their footsteps.
Here's the News' comment on the Burkes:
"James Burke fooled his dad, Capt. Patrick Burke,
attached to Traffic C. Jim went to Notre Dame,
was graduated—and then came back to enter the
force. H e now is a third-grade detective, but he also
is waiting to see that sergeants' list.
"Young Burke is a newcomer, having been on the
force for only three years. But for a time he \%-as
wearing another uniform—Uncle Sam's. .As a waist
gunner on a B-29 he earned the DSC and an Air
Medal with three clusters."
So there you have it, and let's get back into a
corresponding state of affairs. Remember,

From J. D . USI.VA:
After ten months of class reporting it is real
encouragement to receive TWO letters the same
day from members of our class who break their
silence with some swell reports. JIM SHERID.AN,
172 Mill Spring Road, Manhasset, L. I., had this
to say:
^'Thought you might be interested in knowing that
we New Yorkers manage to get together more than
just for N . D . club meetings . . . weekend of Feb. 28
found several of us huddled in a trail lodge in
Peekskill, N . Y., w^iiting for the weather to break
. . . fireplace burned eight-foot logs like toothpicJts
. . . among those present were JIM ATKINSON,
LEN HART, KEVIN CARLEY, GEORGE BAR5A,
ED BUDDOW, '40, JOE MALONO. . . . After
the N.Y.U. game we had another get-together at
Joe King's—the old German-American Club . . .
ART MURPHY, JOE DEITTRICH, JACK DIL-
LON and CH.ARLEY KEOGLER. . . . E\-er>thing
is going along pretty well. Majoring in English is
great groundwork for selling of real estate."
Thanks very much, Jim, and good luck pushing
that real estate. The other letter was from JIM
MURPHY, E\-anston, III., who is working in the
ABC newsroom in Chicago while working tou'ards
a master's degree in journalism at Northwestern.
Murph passes along:
"DAVE KORTY is with the Lafayette Loan and
Trust Co., Lafayette, Ind. . . . studying in the
graduate school of economics at Yale is CHUCK
MONTRIE. . . . JIM KELLY is attached to the
United Nations Affairs division of the State De-
partment in Washington, D . C."
We ^von't mind a regular letter-a-month Jim. Sec
if you can keep it up.
And from HARRY GILLIGAN, Jr., Cincinnati,
we get some neu-s about the marriage of his brother
FRANK GILLIGAN to Patricia Frances Hamer in
early Januarj'. Ushers and guests included J O H N
GILLIGAN, DAVE CHAMPION, J O H N DER-
RICK, ED BALL, J O H N CARON, HENRY SLA-
MIN, GENE GILES, BOB SXEE and Harry. Seems
it was quite an affair with the "Ye Delicate Fel-
lows" in their usual glor>'.
Last night I saw JIM GRIFFIN who was in town
from Chicago where he is with Kenyon and Eck-
hart, advertising.
We had a "pathetic plea" in last issue for news
from the silent members of the class of 1947.

With this, the May issue of the ALUMNUS, the
class of '48 is getting off to a fl>ing start by getting _^
some class news in print before Commencement, f l
This issue is being distributed to the June grads so ^"^
that the>' can drop in their suggestions to me before
leaving for the four corners of the U . S.
The purpose of this writing is to elect a class sec-
retary who can report all of the class news to
BILL DOOLEY, '26, managing editor of the
ALUMNUS. The sooner your nomination is received
the sooner we will hav-e a permanent class secre-
tary*. Also any suggestions as to the length of the
secretary's term of oflfice, etc., would be welcomed.
Meanwhile fire in to me by pony express, tele-
graph, long distance telephone, or just plain mail
all the news about yourself and your particular pals—
jobs, new jobs, marriages, births, new addresses, etc.
In other words, send any kind of stuff that you'd
like to read about somebody else. Our class being the
lai^est graduating class to date should furnish me
with a wealth of choice material, to insert in this
column.
