While on ] campus I spent some time with FATHER GEORGE | 54 Notre Dame Alumnus, March-April, 1956 BERNARD who is now rector of Brecn-Pliillips ^Hall. Father George said that ART KEATING ^was a family man living in the Pittsburgh area; that BOB LE MENSE was practicing law now. I also had a cliance to chat with FATHER BOB PELTON, another M3er, who is rector of Cav- anaugh Hall.

Notre Dame Alumnus, March-April, 2956 OHice ojf the Pnelidetd
The University of Notre Dame Alumni Association
Midland, Texas Fellow .-\lumni: March 10, 1956 Amid the deathly hush caused by semester exams, the Alumni Board held its January' meeting at the Morris Inn. While missing the excitement of a football or reunion weekend, such a time has its compensations. Two uninterrupted days of meetings where University oflicials have more time to visit with us to outline current developments and future plans is one benefit. \Ve arc indebted to Father Hesburgh for a ver)' complete and candid discussion on numerous mattci-s affecting the University, its faculty, students and alumni. \Vhile it is the present decision not to increase enrollment, Feather Hesburgh said that two additional residence halls and a new dining hall are necessary to properly house and feed the current study body of approximately five thousand. Plans are already underway to add these much needed facilities. Those of you who in the past resided in halls near the infirmar\- will be glad to hear that the new dining hall will be erected in that area. Recognizing the great responsibility of always endeavoring to increase the status of Notre Dame in the educational world, Father Hesburgh outlined further progress made on the Distinguished Professors program, further development of faculty and current or contemplated changes in the curricula of the various colleges. Of the numerous matters discussed by the Board, one of the most important is the broad field of job counseling and placement. Aside from the ver\- considerable work done on the campus for undergraduates, this office is endeavoring to assist all alunmi in every way possible. To implement this program in an endeavor to make opportunities available to anyone interested, each of you already has received a card urging registration with the Placement Office. This will be followed by a job status questionnaire to determine, (a) alumni employers, (b) alumni in fields of employment who could be contacted for specific job opportunities. Further, you will note in the pages of this magazine an article on job opportunities open to any alunmus. We recognize the inherent difficulties of such a country-wide program; however, \vc feel that we would be remiss unless a real endeavor is made to acquaint each of you with the benefits to be derived from full usage of this department. The 1955 Foundation report, reflecting an alumni participation of 52.5% and total contributions in excess of one-half million dollars, is indeed impressive. Under Father Cavanaugh's inspired leadership this program has continued to grow as have generous gifts from non-alumni. .-Vs you are all aware, private schools received a very generous gift from the Ford Foundation, one of the most practical votes of confidence in their histor)-. It is with pride that we note that Notre Dame ranked 10th in the size of gifts on the Ford Foundation list of grants. These endowments provide a stable and protective cushion in times of economic stress and, in addition, help to insure succeeding generations of Notre Dame students of that "extra" which turns the ordinary into the excellent. We of the Board are your elected representatives and it is our sincere desire to accurately reflect your thinking and be of assistance to the Association as well as to the University. To these ends we pledge ourselves. In closing, I should like to salute the fine work of the past President, Dr. Leo D. O'Donnell, and the other retiring Members of the Board, Daniel Culhane, John Saunders, and the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Joseph Toomey. All have given unselfishly of their time working toward the interest and advancement of the University of Notre Dame. Sincerely,
JosEi'H I. O'NEILL, JR., President
