Irene Dunne Receives Laetare Meda

Irene Dunne, motion picture actress, was the chief figure in brilliant ceremonies when she formally received the in a crowded Drill Hall at Notre Dame on June 29. Miss Dunne, who in private life is Mrs. Francis D. Griffin, was accompanied to No­ tre Dame for the ceremonies by her hus­ band. Dr. Griffin; Mary Frances, their 12- year-old daughter; her brother and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dunne of Beverly Hills, Calif.; an aunt, Alice Henry, also of Beverly Hills; Mrs. Verbena Hebbard, of Los Angeles, a close personal friend; and a Among the leading partidpanis in the preienlolioa of the loeiore Medal were, left to host of movie executives. right.

Miss Dunne told the audience that "when a university of men honors a woman, I see in it an echo of its original , when high upon its golden dome the university placed the Lady Who is Notre Dame." "I might be tempted to regard this Lae­ tare Medal as a personal tribute were it not for the fact that I, like you, have been bom of Notre Dame," Miss Dunne declared. "Everyone is bom of woman, not only physi­ cally but spiritually. In that consciousness, I know that the Laetare Medal is not for my honor but is rather first a tribute to womanhood and secondly to my profession." Miss Dunne pointed out that "the motion picture industry . . . has on the whole, not only been free from wounding the religious beliefs of its patrons, but has been a posi­ tive influence for good by taking religious subjects as its most popular theme." She stressed that "very few other vehicles of public information and entertainment call in a religious leader to consult on the correct­ ness of their presentations, but our industry prides itself on having religious counsel for religious pictures." "One of our. greatest temptations is to believe our press clippings," Miss Dunne explained. "Happily, the Church has pro­ vided the best antidote I know of against believing our publicity and that is the daily examination of conscience. Nothing cuts us dowii to proper stature like kneeling in a confessional box, for God reads only hearts, not press clippings." Miss Dunne concluded: "The whole world is trying to secure itself against an inner-emptiness, and two of the potent Irene Dunne shows the Laetare Medal to her hnAond. Ht. Vtvadm D.

Father Bussard, in his baccalaureate ser­ mon, emphasized the need for Catholic daily newspapers in some of the larger cities in the United States. "Before the Communists conquered China there were six Catholic daily newspapers published by a single person in Chinese," Father Bussard pointed out.

"They have been under the wrong impres­ sion that a Catholic paper must be operated by priests or bishops since they are the ones who administer the sacraments," Father Bussard explained. "It is a very wrong im­ pression and we should have known better, at least since 1866. In that year the Second Plenary Council of Baltimore was in session. One of its published decrees . . . says with complete clarity that the , bishops want to exercise only a negative control over a pub­ lication. The laymen are to be left complete­ ly free as long as they publish nothing con­ trary to faith or morals. Moreover, a publi­ cation is 'official' only insofar as it carries official documents signed by the ordinary." Father Bussard, although explaining that there are today about four hundred Catho­ lic publications with an estimated circula­ tion of about fourteen million people, there is a definite need for at least • twenty to . thirty good Catholic-dailies in the-United States. Prof. William D. RoUison, of the College of Law, was named at the Commencement as the 1949 recipient of the Lay Faculty Award for distinguished service during the 1948-49 schoolyear.

He is Rev. Anthony J. Lauck, CS.C. These are just two ways in which Father Lauck has lately been recognized: The Third Sculpture International, con­ ducted at the Philadelphia Museum of Art from May 15 to Sept 11, is called "the most selective of contemporary art shows." It it held only once in a matter of years: the first International was in 1933, the second in 1940. Its purpose is to exhibit the con­ temporary sculpture in order to select sculp­ tors who will be commissioned to complete a memorial in Philadelphia. The memorial, as the result of the will of Ellen Phillips Sam­ uels, consists of 'statuary emblematic of the Tiistorj- of America ranging in time from the •earliest settlers in America to the present •era." Commissions aggregating $94,000 were awarded in 1933 and 1940, and as a result of the 1949 show, commisions totaling about §45,000 will, it is expected, be awarded, plus a discretionary use of the sum of $20,000 for the purchase of works from the exhibition. Works for the Third Sculpture Interna­ tional were submitted b>' invitation only and were limited to 270 items by living Ameri­ can sculptors and 30 items by sculptors liv­ ing abroad. K total of 1,800 entries were received, but only 250 of these finally passed the selection committee. One of the entries admitted to the exhibit was that of Father Lauck.

O'SULLIVAN is the leading attt^Dcy in that part of Alidiigan and is extremely busy and most highly respected. PAUL CONAGHAN is practicing law in Chicago. TOM BEACOM, on the Board of Lay Trtistees, is still in the banking business in Chicago. An elegant new administration building was dedi­ cated at the South Bend Airport o^vr the Reunion weekend. And VINCE FAGAN, as one of the archi­ tects for it, was much in the limelight. So was AL McGANN who, as chairman of the County Board of Aviation Commissioners, was the top figure in getting the builfling built.

SHERWOOD DIXON is now the lieutenant gov­ ernor of the Sute of Illinois and JOSEPH P. O'HARA was re-elected as congressman from Glen- coe, Minn., and is caring for our worries and in­ creasing our taxes in Washington. DICK SWIFT, busy practicing law in Da\-enport, la., sent word by BOB PHALEN that he hoped to be at the re­ union and would be sure to make it next year.

From South Bend we learn that MIKE DORAN is busy practi<3i% law. FRANK "LITTLE WILLIE" COUGHUN is in the Attorney General's office in Indianapolis. GROVER MALONE is still li\nng in South Bend, as is FRANK "HUNGRY" MILES. BILL, SHERRY, of the Alumni Board, reports that PAUL LOOSEN is sdll in the banking business in Okarche.

WALTER O'KEEFE, who is broadcasting the "Take It Or Leave It" show from California, reports that recently he was on television from New York. It keeps him busy travel­ ing back and-forth.

I had a letter from JOHN BALFE. He is still busy with his insurance business in New York. JIM "RED" RYAN has been spending considerable time in California. It seems Jim is interested in some mines.

The Secretary needs help, so help the Secretary! Paraphrasing ARCH WARD'S plaintive idea in his ''Chicago Tribune" column, "Please send in news, regardless of how trivial or unimportant, regarding any classmate, and talk up the thirtieth reunion."

JOBS—PLACEMENT—POSITIONS: The requests for jobs arc increasing to the point where it has become serious. If you have any knowledge of any job or position, communicate Mth your local club secretary or class officer. The needs of the alumni and former students are such that the University has established the office of Director of Vocational Counseling. The Board of Directors of the Alumni Association has made the matter of "job placement" one of its major endeavors. Please co-operate and help find jobs.

ENDO\yMENT—FOUND.\TION: If you have not sent in your annual contribution, please do so. You understand, of course, that the theorj' of the annual coittribution is that, where we cannot afford to make a substantial donation, we can make an annual payment which would approximate the in­ terest on the donation which we would like to make. In that way you retain your capital and the school obtains the benefit of the income on what would be, if a donation was made, a substantial endowment.

ED MEEHAN, of the "South Bend Tribune," and BERNIE VOLL together with JIM MARTIN attended the meeting of the steel manufacturers on the Coast and spent several da>-s in Los Angeles. ED McMAHON recently visited his son in South Bend. The son had been attending Notre Dame, but, due to the pressure and responsibility of mar­ riage, has since returned to Denver. BILL FOX, the erudite sports editor from India­ napolis, traveled ^vith the team and was here in California for the USC game. Bill has cihanged very little except for his greying hair. GENE KENNEDY, who recently married, is expecting to send his ne­ phew, the son of CHARLIE KENNEDY, to Notre Dame next )*ear. Of the several members of our class who were ordained, I heard from the Right Rev. THOMAS TOBIN, chancellor of the Archdiocese of Portland, thanking us for the mention of his recent studies in Rome and his efforts in behalf of the fatherless children in Italy. As is generally known, Father JIM CONNERTON, C.S.C., is president of King's CoDege, Wilkcs-Barre.

Father ART HOPE, C.S.C., from Astoria, Ore., seems to be the ofKcial historian for the University, and his recent book on a hundred years' history of Notre Dame is much in demand; in visiting the book store on the campus I saw it much in evidence. I received a note from Mrs. William McGrath that our classmate, BILL McGRATH, of Chicago, died suddenly on April 27. Bill was in the assessor's office of Cook County and had a heart attack while at his office. He is survived by his sister, Margaret, his wife, Thcrcsc McGrath, and two children, Wil­ liam, Jr., and a daughter, Pat. DON'T FORGET THE THIRTIETH REUNION IN 1950. DON'T FORGET THE FOUNDATION.

E\-er>one returning for class reunions agreed that the new plan of holding reunions the week foUow- Jng graduation is most successful. Keep that in mind for 1953. You will be interested in knowing that the class cap inno^-ation which our class intro­ duced last year was adopted by each reunion class this year. The caps are extremely popular, even with the older alumni. WILLARD WAGNER and I discussed plans for our 25-year reunion in 1953 and as you can sur- mbe, Wag already has some fine new ideas to make it even better than our 20-year reunion, if that is possible. I met a number of our *28 classmates who return­ ed to Notre Dame again this year for the Alumni reunion. Those from *28 who registered included JOHN FREDERICK, HENRY HASLEY, BOB GRANT, GEORGE COURY, BOB KNOX, FRED SOLMAN, WILLIAM H.
