THE NOTRE DAME ALUMNUS A magazine which seelts to unify Notre Dame spirit among Notre Dame alumni; to keep alive the friendliness and democracy of the campus when campus days are gone; to acquaint Notre Dame alumni with the development of the University, and the broader development of the principles of Catholic education: to organize alumni activity so that it may better and in a greater measure attain its ends; to live in print as Notre Dame men live always, "For God, for Country, and for Notre Dame."

Impressions of Notre Dame BY

PROF.

CHARLES

PHILLIPS

(Of the Arts and Letters (Editor's Note:—^Notre Dame is beginning another year. Many things are new— students, teachers, and buildings. But over the whole picture that is Notre Dame there abides a spirit that is perennial and that settles upon the strangest stranger. Professor Charles Phillips, a comparative newcomer, has caught this spirit and expressed it so beautifully in the following article, which appeared in the Dome of '28, that the Editor has received many requests from Notre Dame men to reprint it. At the opening of another year-, it seems most fitting to bring this beautiful description of the perennial Notre Dame to the men who have loved her through the years.) There is a great deal to be said about tlie earliest traditions of Notre Dame. That which I am privileged to say here is best put in the form of personal impressions. It will be a long day before I forget the first hours I spent at Notre Dame, my first Sunday here, my first glimpse of the interior of our beautiful University Church. Where was I? Not in the ordinary American Catholic church! No; but in something quite different, something that strangely and most satisfyingly likened present with the past, the America of my own tradition with the Europe which I had grown to know. I was transported—I seemed to be literally transpoi'ted—to another world. And it was a familiar world, the richly colored, mellow toned world of old Gothic fanes; a world, an atmosphere, at once restful and inspiring. High groined ceil-

College)

ings swept their graceful shadows above me from column to column. Nave and transept opened up lofty vistas before me. Around me and over me glowed the softly stained light of gem-like windows and the storied coloring of richly frescoed walls and ceilings. Central, for every worshipping eye to see, rose a golden-pinnacled altar—^not jammed against the back wall as if it had been almost crowded out, but separately and singly erected, the heart and core of the temple, with spacious sanctuary, carved oak choir stalls, raised levels, the dignity of ascending steps. And beyond, as if pillared \\-ith rainbow light, the garnet and violet shadows of a spacious apse that gave forth a vision, literally a vision—Our Lady, advancing, her feet upon a cloud, her arms not so much clasping but offering her Child; and over her crowned head the greater crown, as it were, of her supreme apotheosis, floating in what seemed the dim lustrous air of Heaven itself. A slanting shaft of Tyrian purple" sunlight struck across that vision, as if picking out a royal way for that regal Madonna. Now this is neither a fanciful nor an exaggerated picture. It is the impression of that first memorable hour of mine at Notre Dame, put into as simple words as I can command. The point is, as I have already said—I was transported. I was somewhere else besides in prosaic Indiana. I was in a place not alone made beautiful with holiness, but likewise made holy with beauty. And, again, it was a familiar place. I had been often there before; I felt at home. I was in Catholic France.

T H E NOTRE DAME ALUMNUS

I was in Notre Dame, yes; but I was in Notre Dame de Paris. Nowhere else had I seen the crowned Madonna rise to the %ision, stand, and advance as this Madonna; nowhere else except in Paris. Tlie picture, . the effect, was complete. The vaulted ceilings, the spanning arches, the vistas in shadows and half lights, the whole scene, was a sort of restoration of the Church as a place of worship according to the manner and tradition of old world Christianity, of France "the Eldest Daughter of the Church." It is not a matter of copying or of imitation, this atmosphere of the "Mother" Notre Dame here in our American Notre Dame. So far as that is concerned, our church is neither a copy nor an imitation of the great Paris Cathedral. No, it is more than a mere physical resemblance; it is a matter of atmosphere. This whole place is pure French. No one who knows Catholic France would need to be told that our Notre Dame was dreamed of, inspired by, built by, a man who loved his "ancient mother," Notre Dame. And it is not the Church alone. Walk over from the lake and look up at Sorin Hall as it stands in its slight eminence among the trees—and j'ou are in the land of Norman towers. It is more than an American college hall that you see; it is some old chateau of the French countryside; some antique family house that has given its sons to that other Notre Dame that has stood like a rock in the midst of age-old tempests of revolution arid desecration. Deep slanting roofs and Nonnan towers, it is France all over, this Sorin Hall, sheltered under the cross-tippad spire of the Gothic church. Or take the path that winds toward the Grotto—and j'ou are at Lourdes, kneeling with little Bernadette and looking up into the benign face of the Blessed Virgin. Look from the Grotto, then, up toward the Church. The mansards of the Presbytery; the roofs of Corby; the long low-running spire of the Church itself;—what does it all make a picture of? Of Catholic France again; the clustered roofs of some old French cathedral town gathered around the Gothic mother. Or. still keeping the church in view, approach it from the rear—and

you are coming along the rue du Cloitre or turning to cross the Quai de rArcheveche towards the Pont de I'Archeveche, looking straight up at the noble apse of Notre Dame. You can almost see the flight of the angels, those marvelous life-like bronzes that mount the roof toward the featherstone pinnacle of the Lady Chapel. Wherever I turned, those first days at Notre Dame, it was the same; and the illusion has never worn off. It grows, and with it the consciousness of a tradition, a presence, that has stamped itself on this singularly beautiful place of ours. Science Hall with its severe formality of facade and its chimneys, is a provincial mairie. The old Engineering Building is as French as the pavillions of that famous market place so musically called the Halles Centrales. And of what was Father Sorin, son of Notre Dame de Paris and Father of Notre Dame du lac—of what was he thinking when the domed Administration Building was planned? Was it of the Pantheon, the ancient Church of Ste. Genevieve, whose nobly swelling dome dominates the whole region around the Luxembourg Gardens, with the antique cloisters of Cluny and lovely old St. G2rmain de Pres nearby? Or was it the College de France, across the street from the Sorbonne? Did the golden dome of the Invalids inspire him? He knew them all and loved them all. Surely, they helped to shape his dream of the golden dome of Notre Dame! And who that has visited the Shrine of Ste. Genevieve can see the side altai' of Our Lady in the University Church without recalling the golden reliquary of the Patroness of Paris And who that knows his Paris can hear the deep-toned bell of our church filling the air •••ith sonorous music and not feel himself in France again, in Catholic Franca;—standing on the Petit Pont, perhaps, looking over the He de la Cite, and listening to the rich bronze music that rolls out from the spire of old Notre Dame? Paris has long been called the Central City of the world; and the centre and heart and core of Paris is Notre Dame. And what does Notre Dame signify? Something like eight centuries have passed since the foundation stones of that great shrine of Our Lady, that ancient house of Chris-

T H E NOTRE DAJIE ALUMNUS

tian worship, were laid. They were laid over the stones of a pagan temple of Lutetia, the Roman Paris; and that Roman temple stood on the site of a Gaulish temple of some forgotten god. There, then, over the ruins of vanished heathen shrines Notre Dame de Paris rose up, to lift the Cross of Christ above the ruins of a worn out paganism; a living and vivifying heart of eternal faith rising over a dead past; the centre of national worship, the fountain source of the first learning that was in time to make Paris the intellectual heart of Europe. That is what Notre Dame de Paris means. Not all the onslaughts of old rationalism, of old materialism, of new paganism and newer heathenisms, have been able to destroy that centre of Christian worship. Though they might violate it, not even the cohorts of Hate, stoi-ming its inner sanctuary, setting up a shameless naked woman in the niche of Our Lady, could destroy it. Nothing has been able to destroy it, because it houses the Living God, the Son of Mary.

So also, according to the vision of its founders our Notre Dame shall be, more and more, as the years pass, a centre of Christian culture in America. The tradition of Notre Dame is clearly and sharply defined: it is the tradition of Culture, of Faith, the tradition of Catholic France, the tradition of the ancient Notre Dame. Its evidence is on every side of u s ; and, better still, we breathe the very air of it. As a matter of fact, we breathe hereabout the very air that some of the greatest of the French founders of America breathed—the voyageurs, the adventurers, the missionaries of long ago, when the best blood of the old world was contributing to the making of the first America. Here LaSalle and his troopers came blazing the trail through the wilderness. Here Denon^^lle made his grants. Here AUouez laid the cornerstone of Christianity in the West. Go to the old Log Chapel back of the little yellow brick house that was the first University of Notre Dame and ponder there the story of that Allouez; the story of

THE JI.A.IN BUILDING.. AVITH ITS GOLDEN DOME

T H E NOTKE DAME ALUJINUS

Badin, the first priest to be ordained in the United States; the story of Petit and of de Seille. You are on soil that was once as French as- the ground under Notre Dame de Paris. These are all French names, the names of men who spent their lives that the gloiy of the Notre Dame they loved might shine over the New World with the light of faith. Stand by the rock-built monument where Father Sorin and his companions stood, to found our Notre Dame, and still you are on old French soil; you are in the vei-y heart of the French America of the Indian prairies. You are, in fact, within but a mile or two of where LaSalle forded the St. Joseph river; where Father Eebourde, as the stoiy is told in Father Hennepin's diai-y, blazed a cedar tree to mark the way for whatever French adventurers might follow him. And that cedar tree is nearer still, preserved in the museum of the Northern Indiana Historical Society at South Bend, mute witness of the courage of hearts that first beat in the shadow of Notre Dame. And mark this strange coincidence: according to scientific judgment, that tree is some eight hundred years of age—the same age as the Notre Dame from which we take our name. When we call the roll of those early days—LaSalle, Hennei)in, Eebourde, Allouez, La Hailandiere—France speaks in every syllable. The very ground that we call our campus was deeded to us by that La Hailandiere who was Bishop of Vincennes. Vincennes—Terre Haute—Gibault—it is such names as these, names linked forever with all that the name of Notre Dame means, that rim our horizon. And if we con the dates of our history, every one of them once more echoes France: 1679,—and we stand with LaSalle under the Council Tree—and it still stands, in Highland Park; 1690, and we see Father Aveneau establishing his mission at Foi-t St. Joseph; 1694, Denonvllle makes his grant, and makes it in the name of the King of France, 1686, most illustrious of all—^Allouez builds his chapel, the furthest outpost and the first centre of Catholicity in the West, set up where the Red Man once prayed to his unknown gods, and set up by the selfsame Faith that built Notre Dame where pagan Roman and heathen Gaul had worshipped. From that

date, whether we reckon forward or backward, we still remain within the radius of French Tradition. The lineage of that tradition is unbroken, from Sorin back through Badin and Allouez—to France; from Sorin back to Moreau—^to France. France—^the veiy stones speak the name; France, Catholic France, Notre Dame! Also, and by grace of that same fact, our Notre Dame is American, if there be any such thing as American. It is as American as Plymouth Rock, if historic foundations and deathless traditions count for anything. No one will deny that they do. Nor is all this a matter of bare historical facts alone. Over and above the facts, there is the spirit of the' facts to be reckoned with, the French spirit, the French inspiration, as it acted on the minds and in the hearts of the founders of Notre Dame. Why did they come here? France sent them; and France sent them here. Can we imagine this Notre Dame of ours in Massachusetts? That was not the soil for it. This was. This was once French soil. The stamp of France is on it forever. The air we breathe is impregnated with the breath of the soul of France. And the soul of France is that Notre Dame whose name her sons perpetuated here in the Notre Dame of America. Once, in Notre Dame de Paris, I saw a memorable sight—all the Cardinals of France, all the Bishops, scores of priests, thousands of people, gathered around the Shrine of Our Lady to celebrate the coming of peace. The great organ thundered; the vaulted shadows trembled with the choral of hundreds of voices; silver trumpets blew a blast of heart-piercing, rejoicing music; and over all, twined together on every pillar-, the Tricolor and the Stars and Stripes floated in the shaken air. France and America worshipped togethei-— and my American heart stood still in the thrilling beauty of it all. Now, every June, when our graduates march slowly up the aisle, here in our Notre Dame, carrying Old Glory to the altar to be blessed, that feeling surges through me again. Commingled and fused into one emotion, all that our Notre Dame means, all that the ancient Notre Dame of Paris

T H E NOTRE DAME ALUMNUS

means, comes over me: centre of the best that man's mind and heart can conceive: centre of worship, centre of learning, centre of patriotism; and at that moment I say, as I say often other times, "Thank God for our traditions!" Thank God for these traditions of Notre Dame, that make our University Church, our campus, our school, the home we live in during our college years, and all its environment, American in

the highest and truest sense; historically American, because it is founded in the bedrock of our country's beginnings; spiritually American, because it was conceived and born of spiritual adventure—that basic force from which American life has sprung —the same force ft'hich animated and sustained the souls of those who built the first Notre Dame on the banks of the Seine nearly a thousand years ago.

ALUMNI BOARD MEETS

Joseph A. Menger, '25, San Antonio; Ambrose O'Connell, '07, New York City; Chester D. Freezee, '12, Milwaukee; Joseph J. Collins, '11, Detroit, Mich.; Fred L. Steers, '11, Chicago, and E. C. McHugh, '13, Cincinnati, 0. A meeting of the central group of this committee, attended by Chairman Hayes, Frank O'Shaughnessy, Ed McHugh and Bernard Voll, and the Alumni Secretary, was held at the Oliver Hotel on August 10. Details of a plan for bringing the University and the Alumni Association into a closer and more active union were presented by Chairman Hayes and discussed. The members of, the committee met -with Very Kevs. James Burns, C.S.C, Provincial, and Charles L. O'Donnell, President, the following morning. The plans are being studied by both the members of the Committee and the University with the hope of placing them in operation during the Fall.

In accordance with the expression at the June meeting of the Association the Alumni Board met in Chicago July 7th at the call of President Don Hamilton to discuss the appointment of a committee to map out a definite progi-am for the Association. President Hamilton, Director William Draper and Treasurer Walter Duncan, in addition to the Alumni Secretaiy, were present. Following a thorough discussion, which had been preceded by correspondence on the subject, the Board passed the following motion: "That the President of the Association appoint a committee to look into the needs of the Association with respect to effecting a closer co-operation between the members of the Association and the University, and that the committee also devise the means of meeting these needs, and that the committee appointed by the President have full power to do whatever necessary to reach the desired ends, a report to be made to the President within thirty days after appointment. Following the discussion and the passage of the above motion. President Hamilton appointed Frank H. Hayes, '14, a member of the trust department of the Union Bank of Chicago, as chainnan of the new committee. Mr. Hayes has made a thorough study of alumni progi-ams in some of the larger schools and is expected to to make a most efficient chairman of the committee. Later in the summer President Hamilton announced the following committee to act under the chainnanship of Mr. Hayes: G. A. Farabaugh, '04, South Bend; Bernard Voll, '17, South Bend; Francis O'Shaughnessy, '00, Chicago; T. P. Galvin, '16, Hammond, Ind.; Frank X. Cull, '08, Cleveland; Walter M. Daly, '04, Portland Ore.;

CAPACITY ENROLLMENT The University began its eighty-seventh year on September 13 with a capacity enrollment, 2600 students, a limit established two years ago and dictated by the limited housing and teaching facilities of the school. The freshmen number 900. Approximately nineteen hundred students are living on the campus, while seven hundred are living down to^\^l, including a good number of resident students of South Bend. The freshmen oflF-campus students have been S3gregated on the "near East side" while the juniors and sophomores are allowed a little wider range and only the seniors are permitted to cross the river for West side residence. The segregation, facilitates the work of the off-campus office.

Summer Developments are Outstanding The three months nince the June issue of the ALUMNUS have witnessed greater changes in Notre Dame and the Congregation of Holy Cross in the United States than any corresponding period. Space is all too brief, here, to record them in any detail. Canon law dictated the retirement of the Rev. Matthew J. Walsh, C.S.C., president of the University during the past six years, years that witnessed the greatest growth Notre' Dame had ever experienced. Fire took serioi^j toll of the building facilities of the University on June 29 when it destroyed the entire upper story of the Engineering building. Perhaps the most regrettable feature of the fire was the loss of personal records of Professors Caparo and Benitz, the accumulation of years, and invaluable. A temporary roof has been constnicted over the first floor of the building. Other engineering claso-rooms have been temporarily located in the basement of Badin Hall and the old Carroll Hall gym. The outstanding development that affects the Congregation is the acquisition of the famous St. Thomas College, St. Paul, Minn. The Order has placed a most brilliant slaif of executives at the head of the northern institution, retaining the faculty of secular clergy and laymen for the most part. The Eev. Matthew Schumacher, C.S.C, former president of St. Edward's, a philosopher and educator of national reputation, is the new president of St. Thoma^i. Eev. William Bolger, C.S.C, outstanding authority on economic, social and political sciences, for years the head of this department at Notre Dame, nationally known debater and coach of debating at Notre Dame, is vice-president. Rev. James Gallagan, C.S.C, former prefect of discipline at Notre Dame, for many years a rector of residence halls at the Univeniity, is director of student welfare in the new institution. Rev. Joseph J. Boyle, C.S.C, former member of the Mission Band, nationally famed for his development of the Laymen's Retreat at Notre Dame, is director of religious acti%H[ties; Rev. William Cunningham, C.S.C, prominent educator, will head the department of

education; Brother Tobias, C.S.C, who had been in New Orleans, is also at St. Thomas. Several Notre Dame graduates have been added as instructors. St. Thomas' was founded by Archbirhop Ireland in 188-5. It has been a diocesan institution, conducted by diocesan priests. The College is fully accredited by the North Centi-al Association. Tlie college offers liberal arts, pre-medic work, and law. St. Thomas Military Academy is the high school department. The Most Rev. Austin Dowling, D.D., Archbishop of St. Paul, is chairman of the Board of Trustees. The enrollment is approximately one thousand students. Joseph O'Hara and a delegation of Twin City alumni joined the faculty of St. Thomas on Aug. 28 in a welcome to the new administrators. Notre Dame Changes. Besides Rev. Charles L. O'Donnell, C.S.C, who succeeds Father Walsh sfi pi'esident of Notre Dame (biographical sketch frontispiece) many other members of the Order and lay members of the faculty have been affected by changes. Rev. Michael Mulcaire, C.S.C, Ph.D., '17, who has been in the economics department at Notre Dame since 1923, succeeds Rev. P. J. Carroll, C.S.C, Litt.D., as vice-president. Father Carroll will remain at Notre Dame teaching and writing. Martin J. McCue, dean of the College of Engineering, has been granted a year's leave of absence because of the death of his brother, leaving an estate that demands the pi'esence of Dean McCue as executor. Rev. Thomas Steiner, C.S.C, CE. '99, assistant dean, will act as dean of the College during Dean McCue's absence. Rev. William A. Carey, C.S.C, remains as registrar. Rev. Emiel DeWulf, C.S.C, continues as director of studies. Mrs. Mary M. Beyer continues as cecretary. Rev. J. Hugh O'Donnell, C.S.C, remains as prefect of discipline. Rev. George Albertson, C.S.C, continues as dean of the College of Science in the absence of Rev. Francis Wenninger, C.S.C, who will remain

Kerndt Healy, C.S.C, assistant editor of. the Ave Maria last year, is Master of Novices. Rev. James McDonald, C.S.C, has been granted two years' leave of absence to do graduate work at Oxford. Rev. Richard J. CoUentine, C.S.C, succeeds Rev. James French, C.S.C, as head of the Mission Band. Father French will remain on Mission work. Other Changes. The election of Rev. Charles O'Donnell to the presidency left the assistant superior generalship vacant. This vacancy was filled by the election of Rev. Thomas Irving, C.S.C, assistant Provincial and superior of Moreau Seminary. Rev. Eugene Burke, C S.C, former president of Columbia, Portland, was elected assistant Provincial. Father Burke will teach in the Department of Philosophy. The Department of Philosophy was also augmented by the appointment of Rev. Leo R. Ward, C.S.C, who received his Doctorate in Philosophy from the Catholic University in June. Among the younger priests—^Rev. Joseph Hart, C.S.C, will join the Mission Band at Notre Dame, Rev.

Father Duggan writes that the story was the smoothest he has ever heard and offers an extra five to "Cummings" to come back and repeat it. As Harry Miller was captain of the football team in 1908-9 and Cap Edwards in 1909-10 they don't fit into Father Duggan's story. It is now Et. Eev. Msgi-. Charles Thiele.

Monsignor Thiele is one of the oldest Notre Dame alumni and is active in Fort Wayne alumni events. Joe Breig, special student and former editor of the Scholastic, member of the Scribblers, is about to have other distinction thrust upon him. Joe, who spent last year in New York City, is said to be the author of two novels to be published soon—"The Devil Knows His Ladies" and "Wickedness Preferred." What Joe's experiences at Notre Dame contributed to these books is problematical, but his success in publishing two books at such an early age is indication of literary ability bordering on genius. Brother Gilbert, C.S.C, Holy Cross College, New Orleans, La., would like vei-y much to secure a Jan. 1925 issue of the ALUMNUS, containing his article upon "The Brothers of Holy Cross.' '

Joseph L. Rafter, former teacher at the University, lecturer at Penn State, and president of the Alumni Association of Villa Nova college, was a visitor on the campus during the summer. Mr. Rafter is located in the Brooks Bldg., Scz-anton. He was returning fi-om his first trip to the Pacific Coast. The papers were filled during the summer with pictures of No-ta-ye-po-wa-she-in. This, for the unenlightened, is none other than Et. Eev. George J. Finnigan, C.S.C, D.D., who was made "Chief Holy Word" by the Montana Blackfeet last April. The induction into the tribe followed his confi:mation of 351 Indian children. J. P. McEvoy's "Show Girl," his newest novel, which appeared serially in Liberty, is creating a gi-eat deal of favorable comment and has been accepted for filming by First National, in addition to its creation as a musical comedy. Mr. McEvoy is in Hollywood writing a sequel to "Show Girl" it is reported. Lester Grady, '27, who was secretary to Mr. McEvoy for the past year, is in the musical comedy business, production end, in New York. Hon. Edward J. Fogarty, former mayor of South Bend and warden of the Indiana State penitentiary at Michigan City, now the superintendent of Cook County jail, came in for much praise as the result of an investigation of the institution by a citizens committee. The praise was given for •the efficient manner in which Superintendent Fogarty has dealt with the problem of overcrowding. The new jail will be ready for occupancy by Nov. 1, the account stated. (It is probably a mystei-y to the non-Chicagoans how any new jail can overcome the overcrowded conditions unless Justice is blinder than she is supposed to be.) Not a prisoner has escaped since Superintendent Fogarty took charge in Sept., 1926. The average daily population has increased several hundred since the change in administration but the cost per individual prisoner has been materially reduced. Superintandent Fogarty was secured through the efforts of a citizens committee and his work has won him a gi-eat deal of praise from the people of Chicago.

LAY RETREAT SUCCESS The annual Laymen's Retreat, held this year August 9-12, attracted more than a thousand Catholic men from the Middle West for three days of religious service at the University. Chicago, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Toledo and smaller Indiana communities contributed large groups to the Retreat. A special feature of the Retreat was the fact that it marked the close of the years of development of the project by Rev. Joseph Boyle, C.S.C, who will be at the College of St. Thomas during the coming year. It is understood, however, that Father Boyle will continue his participation in the actual Retreat.

THE ALU AW I CLUBS CONNECTICUT VALLEY Saturday evening, August 18, the Notre Dame men of the Conecticut Valley, past present and future, met at the Bond Hotel in Hartford. About sixty-five alumni, students, and prospective students, attended the affair. The report from Dan Halpin, secretary of the Notre Dame student group from the Valley, was most encouraging. Father Frederick McKeon, C.S.C, chaplain of the Connecticut student group on the campus, was one of the speakers. Thomas Shea, president of the campus group, John Cianci, chainnan and treasurer, and Dan Halpin were other speakers from the student group. James A. Curry, the Curry brothers in fact, were on the job. Tom Curry acted as toastmaster. "Peaches" Granfield was prevented at the last minute from attending. Joe Norton, '27, was a -vasitor at the affair. Men came from points as far as Stamford, Conn., and Lee, Mass. Tlie 1932 men enjoyed it immensely. A big Christmas dance on Dec. 29 will reunite the groups again, and the summer outing is practically established as an annual event. NEW YOEK CITY The weekly luncheon of the Club is held on Thursday at the Interfraternity Club, 22 E. 38th St. From 12 till 2, visitors A\-ill be able to find some of the gang there. The New York Club is particularly desirous of getting acquainted with the new men in New York. Write Joseph P. Burke, 200 Municipal Bldg., Brooklyn. BUFFALO The summer picnic of the N.D. Club of Buffalo, Sunday, July 9, at Lime Lake, was a gi-eat success. Fifty N. D. men and their families showed up. The Fitzgeralds from Olean, Bill Ne\'ille from Batavia, Vince BrowTi and his brother, from Batava also. Hank Burns from Tonawanda, "and even Doc Bums didn't forget entirely." The summer brought quite a few tourists to Buffalo—J. A. Bartley, Bert Burson, en route to Canada (at least Bartley) among them. Bill Feeley, ^^ce-president of the

Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Co., is said to have spent the summer traveling on the lakes. Biff Lee, Ed Lutz and Paul Hoeffler wore down the Buffalo golf courses. NEW JERSEY Eddie Duggan dropped a brief but appreciated letter into the office—ordering five bound volumes of the ALUMNUS to teach the people of New Jersey the great truths and traditions of N. D. JOLIET Brother Lawi'ence Joseph, F.S.C., and Bill Bossingham were over from Joliet during the sunmier and promise activity. Francis Dunne, one of N. D.'s boosters there, was also in. Harold Carey's publicity for the outfit has been confined this summer to the Herald-News. AKROI>^ Frank Steel dropped in a good report of the Akron summer. Nick Engler was elected president of the Club at a banquet at Long Lake Tavern, May 26. Bernard Ley was elected vice-president and Chai'ley McGuckin, secretary-treasurer. Paul Sagstetter is connected with the General Tire & Rubber. Lewis Gough, '27, is with the American-Akron Tire Co. McGuckin is with the Central Savings & Trust, Akron. Chai-ley Springer was back in Bellaire for the summer. Ed Raub of Youngstown was with the Walsh Lumber company of Cuyahoga Falls, married. Bill Helmkamp has moved into new quarters on W.

AREQUIPA, PERU The following is of interest, from Ezequiel Rey de Castro: " . . . for the same reason I was unable to gather the local Notre Dame men on April 23rd. On that day I was far away in the interior of the country, many miles from any town, but, nevertheless, I remembered my dear old University and with a cup of fine "Pisco" in my hand, I gave a great cheer for my alma mater and drank the wonderful liquor thinking of all my school friends, happier than I in that moment but not as fortunate "

ROCHESTER The president of the Rochester Club, Royal Bosshard, '17, has been transferred to California. Ray Mead succeeded him as president and the Club is carrying on the same pace that Royal set. The officers of the Club and a few of the members gave Royal a farewell dinner at the Odenbach. Quite a gang from Rochester drove down to Cornell for the N.

(Ed. Note: Knute Rockne's statement at a coaches' luncheon on his return from Europe that he "is free from worry this year because he expects to lose every game" doesn't sound like the following article by John Rickord, '27, who is handling publicity at the University this year, and who wrote sports for the South Bend Netvs-Thnes last year—^unless you knowRock. Nevertheless, with Wisconsin the second game, and Navy the third, not to mention a reputedly formidable dark horse outfit for the opening, there isn't an awful lot to go Polly anna over.) Regardless of the fact that nine of his eleven 1927 first string players are among the missing this fall. Coach K. K. Rockne will turn out another strong g^-idiron aggregation at Notre Dame. During the spring practice session, his reserves came through in good shape, and several freshmen showed stuff that will make them contenders for positions on.the varsity squad during the present season. Indications are that the line will be fairly heavy, while the backfield will be somewhat light. As usual, however, what the backs lack in weight they will make up for in speed. Jack Chevigney, John Niemiec, Fred Collins and Jim Brady, the leading candidates for regular ball lugging jobs, have plenty of speed and drive, and all, excepting Brady, have besn on the varsity squad for the past two years. Brady, diminutive quarter, won his monogi-am last year when but a sophomore, and promises to develop into a great field general with, more experience. Che^^gney and Niemiec are halfbacks who already are nationally known because of their work during the

JOHN W . RICKORD

1927 campaign, and Collins is a fullback who should be one of the leading line plungers in the game this fall. Every member of last year's regular backfield was graduated last year. The flashy Christy Flanagan, Bucky Dahman, his running mate, Elmer Wynne, fullback, and Charlie Riley, quarter, will be replaced by the men above mentioned, or by others who may display more stuff than the favorites. On the line, Captain Fred Miller, left tackle, and George Leppig, right guard, are the only regulars back. Among the missing are ex-captain Johnny Smith, all-American guard last year; and Ike Voedisch and Chile Walsh, a strong pair of wingmen. The developing of new ends and stengthening of the right tackle position are Rocknes' biggest tasks this fall. Four of his five ends who received monograms last year have not returned, Johnny Colerick being the sole survivor. Colerick and Manfred Vezie are leading candidates for the berths. Both are big and strong. Colerick shines offensively, while Vezie is stronger on defense. Tom Murphy, Eddie Collins, John O'Brien, Vik and Conley are other applicants who are practically certain of being on the varsity squad. All in all, the ends are a promising lot, and if they come through with the goods, the line will be ready to do its share of the work. At right tackle, Dick Donoghue, John Doarn and Jack McGrath are fighting it out for the regular job. Doarn is the most experienced man and may land the job in the end, but both his competitors are able men and will give him a battle. McGrath won his letter last year, as did Doarn; Donoghue broke into only a few games. Captain Miller is sure of his job at left tackle, and should make a bid for ailAmerican honors if he continues to play a.s he did during the last two campaigns. Leppig will be back at right guard, with Jack Cannon, who won his monogram as a sophomore last year, the leading candidate for left guard. John Law, and Gus Bondi also monogi-am men, are other outstanding candidates for guard jobs. Bill Jones,

Of his long series of novels, which began with "RosemaiT" and ended with "Marignita" probably the best known are "San Celestiino" and "Gracechurch." Monsignor Bickerstaffe Drew, despite his 70 years, was far from an honoraiy or titular chaplain in the great war. Dr. Arthur A. Mai-tin in his ".A. Surgeon in Khaki" gives a striking picture of the aristoci-atic, many-titled prelate during the Battle of the Somme, carrying straw and making pillows and beds for the wounded, removing boots and cutting off bloody coats and trousers while shells exploded around him. H e exposed himself with such apparent recklessness that the men of the ambulance regai-ded his preservation as a miracle and gathered up bits o f shell that fell near him as sacred souvenirs. For his sen-ices in the war the priest-novelist was made a commander of the Order of the British Empire, received the Mons, Viictory and General Service medals.

PERSONAL Before 1880 Mark Foote. 501 City Hall, Chicago Secrelai-y. HON. \\aLLIAM P. BREEN, '77, Fort Wayne, was a member of the Allen County Bar Association Committee that drafted resolutions of sympathy for Joseph M. Haley, '09, a Director of the Alumni Association at the time of his death. Mr. Breen was also at Mr. Haley's funeral. Friends will sympathize with him in the recent serious illness of Mrs. Breen.

1880-1885 Prof. Robt. M. Anderson. Stevens Inst, of Tech. Hoboken, N. J., Secretary. PROF. ANDERSON'S name appears on the list of Notre Dame men who are members of the new Western Universities Club in New York City. But the Editor presumes that the Professor has been enjoying a summer respite from the technicalities of his work.

1886 Michael O. Burns, 338 S. 2nd St., Hamilton, O. Secretary. REV. JAMES SOLON, De Kalb. 111., wrote to the Rev. DANIEL HUDSON, editor of the Ave Maria; this summer, enclosing a check for dues, which was all the information the Editor received.

19

1887 Hon. Warren A. Cartier, Ludington, Mich. Secretary, MR. CARTIER wanted to resign his job as secretary of the Class, but if he doesn't have anything to do to worry him, he will be turning his attention to Michigan, so write him so many items that he will have to retire to handle them.

1888 John L. Heineman, Connersville, Ind. Secretary. MR. HEINEMAN was on the campus once or twice during the summer, and with the return of his two sons, Charles and George, he will probably be even a more frequent visitor. Send him a few notes so he will be able to gladden the Editor's heart when he drops in, as he so thoughtfully does. VERY REV. JAMES A. BURNS, Provincial of the Congregation for the U. S., and an outstanding educator, was again honored by re-election to the vice-presidency of the National Catholic Educational Association at their summer meeting in Chicago. Prof. Charles Phillips of the University faculty read an e.xcellent paper at the same meeting.

1889 Hon. James V. O'Donnell, 420 Reaper Block, Chicago Secretary. Boland Burke, '28, son of PATRICK E. BURKE, received a trip to Europe as a graduation gift from his father.

1890-1893 Louis P. Chute, 7 University Ave., Minneapolis Secretary. The Oregon papers were filled for several weeks after the appointment of Hon. NICHOLAS J. SINNOT to the Federal Court of Claims in Washington, with eulogies of the Oregon jurist. The Editor received a number of such clippings in a very thoughtful letter from C. C. FITZGERALD, '94. The National Parks Association, through Rep. Crampton of Michigan, placed on the Congressional Record a testimonial to Judge Sinnott's fine work as chairman of the House committee on public lands. The place occupied by Judge Sinnott is a life-time position, carrying a §12,500 annual salary. ERNEST F. DU BRUL, who has five degrees from Notre Damo after his name, beginning with a Litt.B. in '92 and ending with an A.M. in '95, was the author of a booklet, "Unintentional Falsification of Accounts"—published May 15 by the National Association of Cost Accountants. Mr. Du Brul is general manager of the National Machine Tool Builders' Association, Cincinnati. In the same month he also had an article, "Some Common Delusions Concerning Depreciation" in Meehanieal Engineering.

1894 Hugh A. O'Donnell, The New York Times, N. Y. City, Secretary. The Class Secretai-y had a thrilling airplane trip to Washington which the Editor is going to try to squeeze into this issue. If you don't find it this month look for it in October, because it is told in inimitabie O'Donnell style and is very much worth printing.

THE NOTKE DAME ALUMNUS

1895 Eustace Cullinan, Sr., S60 Phelan BIdg. Secretary. FRANK WOLF DAVIS. Constantine manufacturer and valuable correspondent, has sent in a Charleston, W. Va., paper containing in large headlines the re-nomination by unanimous vote of HON. ARTHUR P. HUDSON as the Republican condidate for judge of the Circuit court. "Judge Hudson accepted the nomination and in doing so he declared that he realized the responsibilities of the office. It took less than half an hour to nominate Judge Hudson- His was the only name placed in nomination, and a motion to make the nomination unanimous was greeted with stormy applause and no dissenting vote. Judge Hudson was elected judge of the thirteenth judicial district eight years ago. The Class Secretary, a Republican, finds himself in the interesting situation of having his son, EUSTACE JR., '25, a candidate for the California assembly on the Democratic ticket. Young Cullinan has the backing of both parties and seems a certain victor in the elections.

1896 William P. Burns, 327 Willard Ave., Michigan City, Ind., Secretary. The Secretary has been on the campus several times this summer in the interests of Ginn & Co. and to combine the pleasure of a visit with his brother, VERY REV. JAMES BURNS, C.S.C. Mr. Bums has asked to be relieved of this Secretarial work. He is away from home a great deal and feels that some other member of the Class could fulfill the duties more satisfactorily. Nominations are in order.

1897 Joseph V. Sullivan, 2650 Lake View Drive, Chicago Secretary. A letter from CHARLES M. BRYAN, C. of C. Bldg., Memphis, Tenn.. fonner president of the Association, '13-'14, enclosed a check for dues and complained about last year's experience when the Alumni Office returned a second check for dues which had been asked in error. Mr. Bryan suggests that such second checks, no matter how the mistake, be charged as fines for failing to appear Homecoming week, etc.

1898 F. Henry Wurzer, Buhl Bldg., Detroit Secretary. FRANK E. HERING delivered the keynote address at the annual convention of the Fraternal Order of Eagles this summer. Jlr. Hering is editor of The Eagles Magazine and has long been associated with the progressive policies of the order. Gov. Vic Donahey of Ohio attended the Columbus convention as a veteran member of the order. J . ELMER PEAK, '12, South Bend ,also attended the convention. Many Notre Dame men have been closely associated with the Eagles.

1899 Dr. Joseph F. Duane, 418 Jefferson Bldg.. Peoria, 111., Secretary. The Class will rejoice over the placing of REV. MATTHEW SCHUMACHER, C.S.C, at the head of

St. Thomas College, St. Paul; the school just taken over by the Congregation. Father Schumacher's ability as an educator and as an executive assure the Order of excellent representation in the new project.

1900 Francis O'Shaughnessy. 10 S. LaSalle St., Chicago Secretary. The Class Secretary was down during the summer to attend a meeting of the Committee appointed by Prcs. Don Hamilton to formulate an Alumni Program. Mr. O'Shaughnessy also has a son who will enter Brownson Hall this Fall.

1901 Joseph J. Sullivan, 160 N. LaSalle St. Chicago Secretary. The President of the Notre Dame Club of Chicago has been busy all summer getting his committees organized and working for the early and heavy Fall. The Navy game will give the whole Chicago outfit, including Pres. Sullivan, a real workout. GEORGE A. McGEE, Minot, N. D., stopped at Notre Dame this summer on his way to West Point to visit his son, John Hugh, who was at Notre Dame in '26-'27. M. J. DONAHOE, '01, drove in with his family during the summer. Mr. Donahoe has charge of the purchasing for the Illinois State Hospital at Jacksonville, III. There are 3,600 patients at the institution and everything used, food, clothing, tools, building material, etc., has to be purchased for three months ahead. Which gives a meager idea of Mr. Donahoe's job.

1902 Peter P. McElligott, 320 W. 23rd St., N. Y. City Secretary. REV. LEO HEISER, C.S.C, was on the campus this summer, having come up from Texas to visit his family in South Bend. The "Notre Dame Hj-mn" written by FRANCIS G. SCHWAB continues to be an integral part of Commencement exercises at the University, both in June and at the close of the summer session.

1903 Francis P. Burke, 904 Trust Co. Bldg., Milwaukee Secretary. With the retirement of FATHER WALSH from the presidency of the University, his classmates seem to have retired also, as far as news items are concerned.

1904 Robert Proctor, Monger Bldg., Elkhart, Ind. Secretary. The Class Secretary himself is in Wisconsin dodging hay fever, his office reports. A letter to the REV. C. L. O'DONNELL, G. S.C, the new President, from HON. E. E. L. HAMMER contains several interesting notes. Judge Hammer had intended stopping at Notre Dame for Commencement on his way to the Democratic convention, but Fordham University conferred an LL.D. upon him at its commencement exercises and his presence there kept him from coming out this way. Word from FATHER CAVANAUGH states that REV. MAURICE FRANCIS GRIFFIN, founder and

T H E NOTKE DAME ALUMNUS pastor of the important parish of St. Edward's Youngstown, O., has been promoted to St. Philomena's Church, Cleveland, succeeding the VicarGeneral as pastor there. Another Notre Dame boy. Father John Maloney, of the Cleveland diocese, succeeds Father Griffin in Youngstown.

1905 Daniel J. O'Connor. 10 S. LaSalle St., Chicago Secretary. The Class Secretary, relieved of his close connections with the Association as President and Director, did give a lot of valuable counsel at the summer meeting of the Board in Chicago, but since then has been swallowed up in the rush of ChiTOgo Real Estate.

1906 Thomas A. Lally, 811-13 Paulsen Bldg., Spokane. "Wash., Secretary. Distinction has rained upon the Class of '06 this summer. FATHER CHARLES O'DONNELL is president of the University: FATHER GENE BURKS is on the Ave Maria, staff and assistant to the Provincial; FATHER JIM GALLAGAN has gone to St. Thomas as director of student welfare: HON. WILLIAM P. O'NEILL has become a grandfather; FATHER CHARLES DOREMUS has been enjoying French where it originated; and there were others that escaped accurate enough details to note.

1907 T. Paul McGannon. Bar Bids., 36 W. 44th St.. N. Y. City, Secretary. What with CLARENCE KENNEDY getting married and FATHER WILL BOLGER going to St. Thomas as vice-president, the summer has not been without activities for '07. DENIS E. LANNAN. Winner, S. Dak., visited the Office this summer with his two children. Even as the Editor wrote these notes, VERY REV. JAMES W. DONAHUE, C.S.C, SuperiorGeneral of the Congregation of Holy Cross, called for the Class Secretary's address, commenting that the Bar Building has an unfortunate connotation.

1908 Frank X. Cull, Bulkley Bldg., Cleveland. Secretary. THOMAS R. WOULFE is located at a new address, the Ogden National Bank, but still sticks to Chicago. FOREST FLETCHER and Mrs. Fletcher were visitors in the Office the first part of August. PAUL R. MARTIN is traveling about in Northern Canada if his plans at the close of the Ravinia season materialized.

1909 John B. Kanaley. 29 La Salle St., Chicago Secretary. The Class SecretaiT as president of the Olympia Fields country club in Chicago, has probably teen a very popular man this summer with visiting alumni. PETE VAUGHAN headed a list of coaches who trained ten Indiana high school football teams at Tippecanoe Lake the last week in August. The goal post crasher was veiy popular w^ith the boys.

21

1910 Rev. M. L. Moriarty, 527 Beall Ave., Wooster, O. Secretary. FATHER MIKE has not been his usual informative self, due, the Editor understands, to the construction of a new school for his parish in WoosterHe did not teach during the summer session here, as was his wont, and was missed by a nimiber of his friends about the summer campus.

1911 Fred L. Steers, First Natl. Bank Bldg., Chicago Secretary. The Class Secretary has been enjoying a tour of Europe during the summer and will probably have plenty of good dope when he gets back and settled, but ta date, silence. JOHN C. TULLY, eminent manufacturer, president of the Bremer-Tully Mfg. Co., makers of radios, was elected treasurer of the Radio Manufacturing Association at the annual June meeting of that organization. Mr. Tully, who is one of the -founders of the RMA, and who is now entering his seventh year of radio manufacturing, is enthusiastic about the patent pooling agreement in the association, a movement which will bring the radio to many of the small town areas which are now largely without it.

1912 Edmund H. Savord, Bos 135, Sandusky, O. Secretai-yFamiliar footsteps echoed on the campus for several days around the middle of July when GEORGE PHILBROOK, foi-mer football star' and track champion, was a visitor. George put the shot 46 feet at the A.A.U. meet in 1912, when 46 feet was about as far as it was being put. HOWARD "CAP" EDWARDS and K. K. ROCKNE, foi-mer teammates of tho visitor, took pretty good care of him. George coached last year a t Whittier College, California. This 1912 outfit seems to have a comer on the presidency of the Association, but as long as the presidents are 93 good, who cares about that? DON HAMILTON has taken hold of affairs with a bang and the year isj going to bring about revolutionary changes in Alumni work. JOHN MURPHY, last year's president and a Director, is busy with the Van Swearingen interests in his new office in the Tei-minal Tower Building, Cleveland, which, the Editor understands, was financed through John's astute negotiatrons.

1913 James E. De\-itt, 921 Engineers Bldg., Cleveland, O. Secretai-y. Of interest to the friends of CLYDE BROUSSARD is the news that the 12000 acre Broussard ranch located southwest of Beaumont, is being divided into 160 acre dairy, poulti-y, and diversified farms. The development of this section of south-eastern Texas has been so rapid that they are not at present able to supply their own demand for poultry, eggs and dairy products. "BUD" BRUCE, recently made General Sales Manager of Balder Electric Co. has moved his offices to 200 E. Illinois St. in Chicago. He will see you at the Navy game. "CHUCK" CROWLEY again returns to Columbia as head coach, he has fair prospects for a team and

22

T H E NOTRE DAME ALUMNUS

can be depended on to turn out a team that will give a good account of itself in every game of its hard schedule. HARRY J. KIRK continues his very able wiork as Chief Highway Director of Ohio. Harry has been connected with this department for several years and has had a very prominent part in the highway development of Ohio. Springfield, Mass., entrusted the nomination of Al Smith to BILL GEANFIELD and when the old boy was not convening in Houston he was doing even better with play-mates from Notre Dame. For complete details see GEORGE D E L A N A . REV. FRANCIS O'CONNELL is now located at Cory, Pa. He has completely recovered from a nervous breakdown brought on by the worries incidental to the financing of a Pennsylvania mining parish. TOM O'NEIL, after a stage of bad health has again resumed his official duties with The General Tire Co. at Akron, 0 . All '13 men will be interested in the news of the marriage of GEORGE D E L A N A . H e spent the summer of 1927 under the trusty wing of "Peaches" Granfield and the influence of the patriarch bore fruit at some later date in the marriage of the prodigal George. The explanation, neither necessary nor truthful, might stiil be possible. RICHARD V . BLAKE has moved his law offices from Jamaica, N . Y. to 956—66th St., Brooklyn, according to a letter to the Office, enclosing a check for dues "so that 1913 wUl be 100 per cent." JAMES WASSON, who used to win track meets single handed, is leading an unusually clean life with the Palmolive-Peet Company in Berkeley, Calif., having transferred there from Milwaukee sometime bafore July. Whatever the public may think of the actual liberation of George Remus, the legal process which brought it about was one of the brilliant performances of recent years. In this performance a Notre Dame graduate played a leading part—FRANK W. DURBIN of Lima. When news of his release reached the hospital, Remus was working on the fai-m. H e rushed in and packed his things. Durbin was called and drove out after his client. Remus refused to wait for a train and Durbin drove him to Cincinnati, where the so-called "ex-bootleg king" announced he would make him home. ED McHUGH who ended a three-year tei-m as Director of the Association in June has been enrollsd for further duty as a member of the -Mumni Program Committee and took valuable time out to attend the first meeting of the Committee in South Bend Aug. 10| Ed had a most enviable record for attendance as a member of the Board of Directors, never letting time or trouble interfere with his ser\'ice to the Association.

1914 Frank H. Hayes. 25 N . Dearborn St. Secretary. The Class Secretary was appointed chairman of the Aliunni Program Committee in June and has since been making an intensive study of the means of carrying out the many plans that have occupied his attention and the attention of the University authorities and the Associatoin officers for several years. The rapid development of the committee

work reflects Mr. Hayes grasp of the situation and his executive ability. A recent communication from H E R M A N O'HARA states he is now located a t 718 S. 18th St., Newark, N . J. O'Hara states that he sees his classmate J O E FARRELL, who lives at Harrisburg, Pa., every few weeks and that everything is going fine with the General IHectric and will while Joe stays in charge. WALTER L. CLEMENTS. South Bend, and D E E N E W N I N G were the class representatives at the Democratic convention in Houston. They say " P E A C H E S " GRANFIELD of Springfield, JIass., was among those present. Articles of incorporation for the North American College of Hotel Training were filed recently in Indianapolis. The College is to be located at Fort Wayne and F R A N K M. HOGAN was listed as one of the incorporators. Probably will teach hand- shaking and rate-raising, although the Editor's experience is that hotel managers have these qualities naturally (with apologies to F R A N K S W E E N Y , F R E D K E E N A N , F R E D JOYCE, etc.) H O N . MICHAEL F. GIRTEN, elected in '1-1, has moved his offices to 642-46 Builders Bldg., 228 N . La Salle St., Chicago. F R A N K CANNING dropped a note accompanying a check for dues to get in under the "preferred" limit of Aug. 1. "Fine footwear" at Oxnard, Calif. WILLIAM McALLEN, alias "SCOTCH," Sarin Hall 1910-11, was the signature of a letter received here asking for dope on football tickets. The writer is half of the Watson-McAUen Company, insurance, 305 Pacific-Southwest Bldg., Pasadena, Calif. He adds, "I wish to thank you for past courtesies and assure you that on the day of the big game (So. Cal.) I'll have about a score of Passadena American Legionaires (officially the best post in the world) on hand to sing the Hike Song and commit such other noises as may tend toward victory.

1915 James E. Sanford, 8212 Kenwood Ave., Chicago, 111. Secretary. The Class Secretary has received an inspiring letter from one of its members, BROTHER WALTER, C.S.C.. who is devoting his life to the service of God in the jungles of Bengal, India. He writes: "How different is life here in the jungles And I am really in the jungles,—forty miles from the nearest railroad, and fully thirty miles from the nearest public road where vehicles travel. There is absolutely nothing that rolls on wheels, not even the tiresome bullock cart, for miles around here (with the sole exception of our wheelbarrow.) The reason is simple; there are no roads and roads are not practicable in a country that is but a net-work of rivers, and under flood water five to eight feet deep from June to October. Boats are our only means of travel; and our country boats, crude wabbling affairs, rowed or poled by half-naked villagers make the enormous speed of a mile or a mile and a half per hour, unless favorable winds come to the rescue and fill the patched piece of sail that every boatman carnes with him in the hope that the wind may do part of the work. A trip to Dacca, the episcopal city, forty miles away, often takes twentyfour or even twenty-eight hours." Brother Walter goes on to say that they have "an

23

T H E NOTRE DAME ALUMNUS enrollment of 620 boys, coming from eighteen or twenty neighboring villages," and mentions other heroic missionaries of Holy Cross laboring there, among them FATHERS GOODALL. WYSS and SWITALSKI and BROTHERS SEVERIN and BEDE. Members of our Class whe were fortunate enough to have had Brother Walter as a friend should write to him. The address is Holy Cross High School. Bandura Hashnabad P. O., Dacca Dist., Bengal. The Secretary recently ran across our old friend' HAROLD MADDEN, LL.B.. 'l.i. We neglected to get Harold's address but learned that he is running a successful match business in Cincinnati and is assDciated in business with his old friend of N. D. days, JOE PEURRUNG. Men of 1915 have before them a real example of courage and Notre Dame fighting spirit in the person of JOE PLISICA. In spite of physical handicaps due to his War service Joe never misses a Notre Dame gathering whether it is in Chicago or at Notre Dame. We are all pulling for him to win his battle for health. Judging from reports that reach us LARRY LA JOIE continues to forge ahead and is now one of Detroit's leading attorneys. DR. JOHN CULLIGAN is practicing medicine with officers at 718 Lowry Bldg., St. Paul, Minn. Any 1915 men who find themselves in the vicinity of St. Paul, Minn., will find it a pleasant and profitable e.vperience to visit our old friends Rev. Matthew Schumacher, C.S.C.; Rev. William Bolger, C.S.C, Rev. Joseph Boyle, C.S.C. and Rev. James Gallagan, C.S.C, who have been given the task of making another Notre Dame at St. Thomas College. TIM CALVIN sent in the following interesting item about a '15 man: KMMETT G. LENIHAN is a candidate for Attorney General of the State of Washington in .the Republican primaries, which are to be held on Sept. 11. Lenihan has been practicing law in Seattle for about two years and has been very successful. He attracted considerable attention during the. recent city campaign and was one of the chief backers of a successful mayoralty candidate. As a result he is being backed in the State primaries by the Republican organization of Seattle as well as the Governor of Washington. Emmett was a debater at N. D. when Tim was setting the colleges on fire with his speaking. MAURICE T. ANDREWS, who was at N. D. from '11 to '15, is now connected with the Elizabeth Daily Journal, Elizabeth, N. J., having left the Statcn Islander, where he spent some time as sports editoi-.

1916 Timothy P. Galvin, 708 First Trust Bldg.. Hammond Ind.. Secretary. The Alumni Office was startled, delighted, almost unbelieving not long since to receive a check for sixty-five dollars (§65) from EDWARD N. MARCUS, public accountant, 604 Boyer Bldg.. Detroit. Ed sent it in for back dues from the time of graduation until June 1929. The Editor has no ulterior motive in citing this genei-osity and loyalty, still—. REV. J. HUGH O'DONNELL has just returned from a much-needed vacation, to resume his duties as Prefect of Discipline. The "flu" almost got

Father Hugh shortly after Commencement and it has taken a careful summer to get him out of the attack.

1917 John U. Riley, 244 Washington St., Boston, Mass. Secretary. Notice the change of address. The Class Secretary has taken another step onwards and upwards, viz: "The O'Malley Adv. & Selling Company of Boston has been incorporated with a capital of $50,000. Though on the surface, this business change involves merely the incorporation of an agency of Ions standing, the 'new concern represents in fact a consolidation of three distinct advertising organizations and a general expansion of the O'Malley Agency. The newly incorporated company has absorbed the personnel and taken over the accounts of John Urban Riley Inc., and Mr. Riley has become vicepresident and production manager of the new organization. Jlr. Riley is an experienced advertising man, and has handled a variety of active accounts. He is a graduate of Notre Dame University, served overseas, returned with the rank of Captain, and is a member of the Crosscup-Pishon Post of the American Legion, made up of Boston advertising men. John was a visitor at the Alumni Office this summer.

1918 John A. Lemmer, 309 S. Seventh St., Escanaba. Mich., Secretary. John and his charming wife were again at Notre Dame during the summer when he taught several courses here. His last official act reported was acting as best man to his young brother who didn't wait long to follow John's example. A telegram from FRANK L. CULLINAN from Tulsa announced that a new move had caused Frank to lose his ticket application blanks. He is located at 17 E. 18th St.. Tulsa. REV. MATTHEW A. COYLE, C.S.C, received his M.A. at Yale last June and will teach at Columbia U.. Portland. Ore.. ne.xt year.

1919 Clarence Bader, 650 Pierce St., Gary, Ind. Secretai-y. The only news from '19 is that" "Chick" will continue trying to get dope from you elusive members of the outfit. Slip him at least one encouraging note a month. He's pretty down about it all. The life of Class Secretary is a hell of a one anyhow. All work and no pay. The Editor's only contribution is that REV. DOM GREGORY GERRER, LL.D. '19, is doing a mighty fine job of retouching Gregori's famous Columbian frescoes in the hall of the Main Bldg. Isabella looks ten yeai-'s younger and Columbus has lost the utter despair that time and the fingers of tourists, despite Brother Albeus, had given him.

Michigan Ave., one of Chicago's new skyscrapers. THOMAS H. BEACOM. Jr., has a new address, the Wheeler Kelly Hagny Trust Co., Wichita, Kas. AL RYAN is conducting a school for branch managers for the Universal Credit Corp., 154 Bagley Ave., Detroit, and seems to like the job fine.

1921 Alden J . Cusick, 1940 Curtis Ave., Denver, Colo. Secretary. The Secretai-y received an interesting letter recently from LUCIEN LOCKE, who wrote: "Occasionally I see one of the boys from school. ART WEINRICH was out the other evening (Lucicn is in Chicago, by the way, with Erwin, Wasey & Co., Advertising) and JIM CLANCY' is practicing medicine in Hammond . 1 expect to go to California on business in about six weeks, but I doubt if my itinerary will take me to D e n v e r . . . . " Here's the talented WALTER O'KEEFE: Walter O'Keefe has made a name for himself on Bi-oadway in the small period of 18 months. First writing that popular hit, "Since Henry Made a Lady Out of Lizzie," he went into Barney Gallant's night club in Greenwich Village, where he sang his own songs. Here he was spotted by theatrical managei-s who signed' him up to write the score for a new musical show, which will be produced this coming season. A well-known recording company has him under conti'act for records. He was next scheduled to go uptown to Helen Morgan's place to entertain, but due to the recent raid, that work was canceled. But that doesn't matter—he has arrived. FRANK E. COUGHLIN. a delegate from the South Bend lodge of Elks to the State convention, was elected third vice-president of the state organization at the closing business session. MORRIB STARRETT writes that his real estate business is keeping him busy but that he will be on deck for the Southern Cal. game, and possibly the Navy. He says that the Western Washington alumni, headed by NED COCHRANE, assisted at the funeral of MAX HOUSER, former athlete, who lost his life by drowning this summer.

1922 Frank Blasius Jr., 24 W. Main St., Logan, O. Secretary. JIM FOREN and his brother. Father Foren, stopped for a moment on the campus last month on their way to Milwaukee, where Father Foren is stationed. AL SCOTT has opened law^ offices Suite 607 Bank of Italy Bldg., Fresno, Calif.

1923 John Montague, 1448 Albion Ave., Chicago Secretary. Let's hear from the following '23 men within the next month: CORNELIUS ALT. Chem. E. ARTHUR J . ANGERMEIER, Ph.B. in Com. EDWARD J . BAKER, C.E. K. NORBERT B.\RDZIL, Ph.B.

HENRY F. BARNHART, Ph.B. in For. Com. KARL BARR, Ph.B. JAMES BELL, Ph.B. VICTOR BLANCO, M.E. JEROME D. BLIEVERNICHT, LL.B. JAMES S. BRADBURY, LL.B. At the 1923 Class Dinner in June it was decided that the best way to keep this column alive and interesting would be to start through the Dome and pick out the men in alphabetical order, print their names, and in a following issue print all the (printable) information received without making known the source. Watch for your name or the names of your friends because we don't want to go to press with a blank after anybody's name. The June ALUMNUS in listing the '23 men who returned to Commencement included only those who registered at the Alumni Office. A check-up shows that by Sunday noon there were between 85 and 90 men of the 1923 Class back at Notre Dame. Under the Marriage heading are found the names of GUS DESCH and MARTY BRENNAN. Gas has his office in Philadelphia and the new home in Germantown. Marty is located in Chicago preparing to make straight the path of the Chicago River, thus opening to business miles of waste land near the heart of the city. Rumor has it that LEO McCARTY was married at Notre Dame the second week of June. Let's have this dope, Mac. There was a big stir in the larger marts of trade in Chicago around the first of July when it became known that LAUERMAN Bros. Co.. importers, jobbers and retailers, of Marinette, Wis., bought out the department store in Menominee, Mich. This institution is about the fifth great store to come under the Lauerman control. HANK must be working night and day to bring all this about but still he is, we hear, going to take time off to get mai-ried verj' soon. The "racket" came close to the '23 men in Chicago when racketeers entered the GOULD gai-age, owned by Eddie's father, on N. Clark St., killed one employee and wounded another. Eddie has recently moved his florist shop from the store adjoining the garage to 1313 W. Randolph St. It is alleged that the men who did the shooting were the ones who, the night before, had shot a detective just outside the garage, and w^ho came to kill a negro employee at the garage who had witnessed the shooting. The negro escaped with a wound, but a co-worker who came to his assistance was killed. The suspected gunmen have been; arrested. KENNETH KRIPPENE has announced a new connection, representing Chase Love, financing and investments, 120 S. La Salle St., Chicago. KEVIN CURRAN was on the campus last month. He had recently enjoyed a trip to Australia. He is a junior in. the medical college at St. Louis U. PAUL CASTNER wos the J.

'24 column and the Editor Imows that he will welcome this informal announcement of a change to someone more conveniently located. As to who that someone will be, nominations are in order. HARVEY BROWN received his M.D. at St. Louis U. in June, after four years of study and coaching there. No dope on Harve's plans wa-s forthcoming. JIM HAYES wrote recently from the midst of a stack of publicity glorifying Fifth Avenue, asking for a Scribbler pin to replace a lost original. He announced the opening of a "Recovery of Friendship" campaign to get back the gang that his job lost for him. Jim promises to be here in 1929 for the Reunion. Go thou, and do likewise. A letter from 1000 Park Blvd., Baton Rouge, La., let's out the dope that CHARLEY ROBRECHT is with the Research Division of the Standard Oil Go. of La., and likes it. Charley says that PHIL BYRNE, foi-mer chem teacher at N. D., happens to be the boss of his section, which leaves him not entirely alone. Incidentally, Charley added, Byrne is going big with the company. LEO HERINGER is out in Davenport, la., with the Prillaman-Adler Corp., JOE ADLER'S outfit. The address is 320 E. 4th St. The Editor has both seen and heard from HARRY FLANNERY. Flan is going fine with the Fort Wayne Builders' Supply Co., handling publicity for the Catholic Community Center on the off hours. Harry's letter related a fine trip. He was in New York, saw Jim Hayes, Charley De Barry and Ted Berkeiy, who are living together. In Albany, he saw JERRY LYONS, going big in the newspaper game and turning' down big offers right and left. Harry is about the only living Notre Dame man who missed seeing HUGH O'DONNELL while in N. Y., but Hugh was out when HariT was in. The trip East was part of an auto trip which Harrj- took with THOMAS A. HAYES, '16, Fort Wayne, and the mothers of the two. They visited Washington, New York, up the Hudson by night line, Albany, Plattsburg, Saratoga, Lake George, Lake Champlain, Rousse's Point, where a rum smuggler was killed not long ago, Lacolle, Quebec, L'Assomption, Champlain, where Tom Hayes lost his French barette, St. Anne de Beaupre, St. Anne de la Perade, Cap de la JIadeleine, Montreal, Prescott, Ogdensburg, Alexandria Bay, Niagara Falls, Buffab, Cleveland, and all way stations,—Harry's description. CHARLEY BUTTERWORTH, according to a news despatch in June, was to open an engagement in -August in "Good Boy" a piece by Oscar Hammerstein II, Otto Harbach, Henry Myers, Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby and Herbert Stothart. Charley was eligible for a big re^nie, the stoi-y adds, but passed it up for straight musical comedy. Reports of "Good Boy" have not yet reached this province. Among our youthful celebrities is the '24 Class Baby. TOMMY AHEARN, the Texas wizard, etc. None of which is coming to Tom, except that he was the youngest member of his Class. Tom. is hitting awfully well for an early bird writing scenarios for Paramount Famous Lasky Corporation in Hollywood. Tom went to Yale, Prof. Baker's school. It is too bad space doesn't allow a full report here. Briefly, Tom was good and is one of four of Baker's students in Hollywood on a six months trial. If

they make good they get a five-year contract. The fact that Tommy is out there is a good sign. He sent in a lot of good dope, not for publication, and as space is scarce this issue, he wins. Local boy makes good—J. HOWARD HALEY, formerly of Chillicothe, O., now of the firm of Gerber & Haley, &>uth Bend, was the subject of the following item in a recent paper—Gerber & Haley, building contractor's have been awarded the contract for the new $100,000 St. Peter's Parochial school, Chillicothe,- O. HENRY FANNAN, Rockford journalist, was a visitor at the ofiice last month, before the big rush in Rockford journalism took place when the Rockford Flyers were walking back.

1925 John W. Scallan, 703 Pullman BIdg., 79 W. Adams St., Chicago, Secretary. The journalists of '25 will greet with pleasure the receipt of a letter from Messrs. JOHN SHOWEL and JOHN MULLEN, two of the comets that swept brightly, but toD briefly, across the journalistic horizon. John Showel is, in a modest way, he says, in the publishing business. John Mullen is doing vei"y nicely as the educational director of an investment banking association. John's address—^both of them—is at 6250 AVinthrop Ave., Chicago. A mix-up over football applicatoins brought a letter from the reticent CHARLEY MOUCH. -Charley was on vacation at Conway, Mich., resting from the cares of putting Sandusky on wheels (Chevrolet.) Charley said he expected to see "BUTCH" HAEGKER Labor Day. Butch, the Editor gathers

THE NOTRE DAME ALUMNUS from Damn Rumor, is now in Grand Rapids, Mich., with the same outfit however. THE HON. EUSTACE CULLINAN JR.,—mayhe not yet, but it won't be long. Eustace Jr. has practically sewed up the two major parties for his election as Assemblyman from the 25th district in California, all in the few months since his graduation from the Stanford law school. And, at that ,he was at N. D. on a vacation in the earlier part of the summer. Mayor Rolph of San Francisco issued a pamphlet supporting him. Eustace Jr. is running on the Deni'Dcratic ticket. Eustace Sr. is a prominent Republican. Maybe these rumors of political astuteness in the Class were not without their foundation. BILL DIELMANN and JOE MENGER have both entertained the San Antonio N. D. outfit, most of whom are '25ers, during the summer, Dielmann, Menger, Hess, Necdham (see births), Tynan. Hagerty, Esch, and E. M. Rowley, father of ED ROWLEY, who was killed while a student here. DON AIGNER says he was SDrry not to have gDtten out for Commencement. Don is with the Ganeral Outdoor Advertising Co. in Buffalo. He lives at 30 Ashland Ave. HERM CENTLIVRE, he says, stops in to see him frequently, on trips out of Detroit for the Campbell-Ewald agency. Had a note from PETE DUPAY, still with Frederick J. Schwai-z, and still living at Basking Ridge, N . J. A letter from STEVE CORBOY indicates that he is working in connection with the Chicago World's Pair Centennial Celebration. Communieatoin with JOHN ANTHONY HARTLEY establishes the fact that he and New York are on good terms, in spite of the fact that he is living in close quarters with DAN O'NEIL, JOHN LYNCH, et al. Believe it or not, the summer biought, besides Junetime and roses, a letter from EDDIE LYONS, erstwhile paradox of poetry and bolshevism, who is self-confessed sei-vice manager for the Duplex Truck Co., Lansing, Mich. Eddie says he never hears from anyone probably because he never writes. BOB RINK, he adds, comes over every two months, but each time his stay is shorter. L>-ons says he would like to get to Grand Rapids and plans on hitting Detroit and South Bend before the summer is over. JOHNNY WEIBEL writes that he is going back to Vanderbilt to finish up his course in medicine. He coached last year at Duquesne. This summer he has been in Erie, relishing, he adds, the balmy breezes after the smoke and hills of Pittsburgh. Johnny wrote that TOM BARBER, '24, was hitting the law in Erie (with Senator Kitts), and that JERRY HAYES, '26* has been selling Benziger's entire output to the citizens of Erie DON AIGNER, GEORGE SPENCER and ROY PAULI. he added, were all in Erie for a wedding, but he didn't say more. GUS SCOLARO dropped a brief note from the Mid-West Co.. Cedar Rapids, la. IZ PROBST was coaxed into a greeting from the Okaw Dairy Co., New Athens. III., extending an invitation to the Editor to visit there if St. Louis ever calls. New Athens being thus subtly located. ED LAKNER was in Cleveland during the summer, after a year at Michigan.

BEN K E S T I N G wrote that among other things his family was increasing every day in weight, "which will undoubtedly result in a damn good pair of tackles in a few years." Had a nice long letter from JOE FITZPATRICK. Joe says he sees a lot of the fellows down in Miami, but that none of them stay long, mostly just business trips. Joe says he likes Miami, his chief reason for being there. Joe says just when conditions begin to get on his nerves he makes a hole in par, draws a good hand at bridge or gets a little raise, and the Florida sun shines again. TOM GOSS has been transferred out to Harrisburg, Pa., Riverside Manor Apts. Tom wanted to hear from PAUL SAGSTETTER or HAROLD WATSON, not a bad idea. JOE BURKE has been getting a workout as Secretary of the N. D. Club of New York, but has had a little respite this summer. BILL HURLEY, who was in Cleveland for some time, has been moved to Knoxville, Tenn., by the General Motors Acceptance Corp. With SPIKE McADAMS transferred to N. Y., rumor also has it that TOOLEN and SOMMER are considering delivering another blow to Qeveland.

PENSIONS Did you ever think about Pensioning Yourself? At a surprisingly low cost you can use the resources of life insurance to provide yourself with an adequate pension. It is a form of insurance known as "Annuities,' an entirely different thing from the payment of money to your relatives at your death. You would be interested to read of the experience of others.

ED HUNSINGER, according to recent newspaper notice, is to remain at Villa Nova with HARRY STUHLDREHER in spite of attractive offers, including the head line coaching job at Dai-tmouth. ART McMULLEN broke silence not long ago but worked too much on the theory that money talks. It is a wonderful "hello' 'or "good-bye" but it doesn't give a hell of a lot of detail, to put it in the Corby style to which McMullen had become accustomed. JOHN QUIGLEY dropped a note from Box 1000, Seminole, Okla. John is still with the Sinclair company and enjoying his work. He hopes to make one game at N. D. this Fall. A little '25 group gathered at the Editor's home during the summer, reminiscent of Prof. Cooney's classes—BOB HOWLiAND, who is married and living in St. Louis, writing advertising for' the Missouri Pacific; TOM COMAN, who is also married and writing politics, primarily, for the South Bend News-Times; JERRY HOLLAND, who is not married, and who is state editor of the Ncivs-Times; and the Editor of this excellent periodical,—all, you see, retaining a hold, however slight, upon a profession that Dr. Cooney labored so long to impart. Jlrs. Howland, Mrs. Coman, Thomas Coman i n , Jerry's lady friend and the dubious hostess completed the gathering. Old age had sobered the group. Great changes. Even Howland confessed that he was real-
