WINTER 2013-14 UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON MAGAZINE 1 COMMENTARY BY DANIEL J. CURRAN PRESIDENT, UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON A sacred place for all PRESIDENT’S PAGE Whenever I walk through campus and spot the towering blue dome of the chapel, I instantly feel at home — and at peace. I occasionally take a break from the busyness of the day to steal a few moments, sit in the chapel, reflect and be one with God. This is the spiritual heart of our campus. It’s a place to witness grace in our lives. It’s where we come together to celebrate, to find solace, to pray in community. During my time in the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception, I have seen that it is in need of care. We’ve completed only partial renovations of the chapel since its construction by the Marianists in 1869. Today, this sacred place deserves a thoughtful and unified renovation. We want to improve the interior to meet contempo- rary liturgical requirements while bringing back the wood finishes, warm colors, pews, artistic touches and the simple elegance of yesteryear. I recently reviewed preliminary sketches for new stained glass windows that will mimic the original colors and patterns — and respect the chapel’s rich history. More than $11 million toward a $12 million renovation has been committed from trustees, alumni and friends, including a major bequest and a recent anonymous $3 million gift. I’m confident we can meet this fundraising goal and begin a yearlong renovation in August 2014. I’m so grateful to our supporters for their faith in this project. Earlier this year, we entered into a formal partnership with the Church of the Holy Angels, which sits in the middle of campus among student houses on the corner of Brown and L streets. This is not a merger but a true collaboration. A graduate assistant is helping to direct a K-6 faith formation program at the parish, and undergraduates in the two-year Forum for Young Catecheti- cal Leaders program are teaching catechism classes and offering programs in adult faith formation and sacramental preparation. Most importantly, when we need a larger worship space, Holy Angels will now be available. That has allowed the University to recommend a renovation rather than an expansion of the chapel. We are now working with a liturgical consultant and architect to finalize the plans. Preliminary plans call only for a modest addition on the south side of the building for a bride’s room, reconciliation room and restrooms. As people walk through the chapel’s beautiful wooden doors, they will enter a new gathering space. Just inside the chapel, a baptismal font will serve as a visual reminder of the origins of our faith. Traditional wood pews will replace the chairs. Every detail, from the art and statues to the religious symbols used on the windows and walls, will reflect a desire to enhance the chapel’s natural beauty and create greater harmony. The newly renovated chapel will stand as a testament to what a community of believers can accomplish through faith and action. It will be a symbol of our gratitude to our Marianist founders, who taught us that we are to use our knowledge and faith to make a difference in the lives of others. It will be a sacred place for all.

ROTC NATIONAL HONORS

Summer break for the Fighting Flyers Battalion could likely break the strongest among us — live fire training, land navigation, confidence swims. But the 18 juniors stayed strong and were named the No. 2 ROTC program in the nation — out of 273 — at Leadership Development and Assessment Camp at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Cadets were scored on 16 leadership dimensions, with 10 Flyers receiving an “E” for exceeding standards. The battalion received another honor: Sam Greger, a senior exercise physiology major, was named No. 2 cadet in the nation and will receive his first choice of commission — active duty, armor officer — when he graduates Dec. 14.

34 UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON MAGAZINE WINTER 2013-14 The Ku Klux Klan terrorized Catholic universities in the 1920s. But somehow, we forgot. Professor William Vance Trollinger Jr. uncovers stories of great courage in a struggle to define who is an American.

The University of Dayton served as the headquarters of Catholic subversion in southwest Ohio. Courtesy of the OHIO HISTORICAL SOCIETY/AL02995 That’s how the Klan saw it. In the years between 1923 and 1926, the Dayton chapter of the Ku Klux Klan — which had at least 15,000 members — devoted much of its energies to harassing the University of Dayton by burning crosses. A UD student in the 1920s, Jack Brown later recalled, “it [was] their joy and delight to come out on the campus and burn a cross or two.” But the students did not passively accept the Klan’s harassment. They fought back. As a student at the campus high school later reported, on more than one occasion he and some of his peers raced out of class to chase the Klansmen away, all the while calling on the cowards to “show their faces.” The Klan responded to such defeats by lighting crosses in David Chalmers — who estimated Klan membership in Ohio as Woodland Cemetery across from the University, as the cemetery 400,000 at its peak — observed in Hooded Americanism, “there fence gave the Klansmen some protection from enraged stu- was a time during the 1920s when it seemed that mask and hood dents.

Five decades had likely muddied some facts, but it seems almost certain that sometime in the mid-1920s the University of Dayton football team — prompted by its legendary head coach — confronted cross-burning Klansmen and sent them running. How and why does an institution “forget” an exciting, even heroic, story such as this? Clues go back to July 1920, when the board of trustees voted to change the name from St. Mary’s Col- lege to the University of Dayton, a decision that obscured the school’s Catholic identity while publicly linking the school to its home city. While I have not been able to locate records of the board’s deliberations, in October 1920 Presi- dent Father Joseph Tetzlaff, S.M. ’05, published an article in the University of Dayton Exponent explaining the board’s decision. Tetzlaff provided three reasons for the name change, William Vance the second of which focused on how the term Trollinger Jr. “university” better fit the “scope” of academic work being done at the institution. But the first and third reasons had to do with the city itself. Tetzlaff began with the confusing assertion that making the change from St. Mary’s College to University of Dayton would “bring home to the City of Dayton” the and David Yarosz ’96 — into a research seminar that never in his time as a University of Dayton “work of premier order accomplished” at the on religion and religious conflict in Dayton in student (nor in the six decades since gradua- school “in the domain of cultural and techni- the 1920s.

nificant percentage of native-born Daytonians Courtesy of the OHIO HISTORICAL SOCIETY/AL02957 joined or supported the local Ku Klux Klan chapter, which had as one of its primary and ongoing activities a harassment campaign directed against Dayton’s “principal school.” Still, UD’s administration stayed quiet, perhaps grasping at their “fondest hopes” for the University’s relationship with the city. Then came the December 1923 bombing. Silence was no longer an option. But in breaking the silence it is telling what the administration said. Both President O’Reilly (who had become president that year) and Vice President Kunnecke focused their comments on the threat to the ROTC ar- senal on campus; because the Klan was now threatening the property of the United States, its attacks on the University must be stopped. It does not appear there was one public comment from either administrator about the Klan’s anti-Catholicism, or about how Catholics in Dayton and Dayton’s Catholic university were weary of being harassed. To the contrary, the vice president went out of his way to downplay the school’s Catholic identity, observing not only that “students of all denominations attend” the University (thus eliding the fact that Courtesy of the OHIO HISTORICAL SOCIETY/AL02999 85 percent of UD undergraduates were Catho- lic), but that this interdenominational “student body” has made “a universal remonstrance ... against the picturesque demonstrations that have been staged” on campus. One plausible reading of the University of Dayton’s almost instantaneous institutional amnesia regarding the Ku Klux Klan harassment and attacks is that there was some sense of shame that a large portion of the community in which they resided and in whose name they had titled the University did not understand UD as truly American.

Married 63 years, Frederick J. and Marian A. Kroger were friends to the end, only briefly parted by death in January 2013. When they died — just six days apart — their legacy was already large: faith, family, service and generosity. It grew even larger when the Krogers’ five children gathered to decide how to designate the trust their parents committed to the University in 1997. “My parents were always devoted to God, family and country,” Above, Marian and Frederick Kroger with University said Tim Kroger, who is President Father Raymond Roesch, S.M., in the a partner in Main Line 1960s.

t sounds like a never-published Nancy Drew book: The mystery of the hidden hatchet. Sent to University Archives 40 years ago by then-president Father Raymond Roesch, S.M. ’36, this handheld tool — a mere 12-by-6 inches but weighing in at 2 pounds — was unearthed during the last significant overhaul of Immaculate Conception Chapel. “This hatchet was found in the base of the main altar in the chapel when it was removed during the renovation in 1971,” Roesch wrote. “Thus, it was probably used in the construction of the chapel in 1869.”I The chapel is UD’s third-oldest building (behind Zehler and Liberty halls), celebrating its 145th anniversary next year. Steam heat arrived in 1898, followed by electric lights a year later. A major renovation also occurred in 1949. While the tool’s origin is uncertain, Doug Gaier ’86, president of the Ohio Tool Collectors Association, agrees that it looks like a shingling hatchet, a common construction tool in the 19th century. A smaller sibling of an ax, it was used to shape shingles and nail them in place, with a notch on one end for pulling nails. University Archivist Jennifer Brancato has one theory. “According to Eric Sloane’s book, A Museum of Early American Tools, these hatchets had a hole in the handle so the worker could hang it from his wrist. Ours doesn’t have a hole, so maybe it was dropped and never picked up,” she said. Or, its placement could have been intentional. Placing relics Unburying beneath altars was a frequent liturgical practice, said Crystal Sullivan, director of campus the hatchet ministry. In Catholic theology, an ax or hatchet can be an emblem of St. Joseph, indicating his work as a carpenter. Covered in decades of dirt and rust, a maker’s mark on one side of the blade is il- legible, save for a clear “No. 2” etched at the top and the words “cast steel,” indicating its blade material. The handle is carved wood, worn smooth with age. A good mystery isn’t complete without a twist, though. Viggo Rambusch, whose New York City-based architectural design company completed the chapel renovations in 1971, remembers it a bit differently. “I have fond memories of Father Roesch and the remodeling of the chapel for post-Vatican II,” he said, “but for some vague reason, I think the hatchet was found in the pulpit.” If there are any secrets left to uncover in UD’s chapel, they might be found next year: renovations to update the space are planned for 2014. —Audrey Starr

At the other end of the leash was Susan Avila-Smith, the founder of VetWow, an organization devoted to victims of military sexual trauma. She had traveled from the Pacific Northwest just to bear witness in support of the latest victim. Susan told me that her Shar Pei stood guard between her bed and her door every night. She needed this guard dog to deal with the trauma from having been sexually assaulted while she served in the military.

TIME LAPSE

Frozen forever on a cold stroll to class, two students are captured in this undated photograph. St. Mary’s Hall, dedicated in 1870, rises five stories, and the base of Immaculate Conception statue, placed in 1904, is visible among the tree trunks on what will become the library lawn. While the Model T’s also hint at the photograph’s age, the scene remains largely unchanged today. Photo courtesy of UNIVERSITY ARCHIVES
