Reverend Hugh O'Donnell, C.S.C., President, University of Notre Dame, Kotre Dame, Indiana.

Dear Father O'Donnell:

I am pleased to acknowledge the Trustee's Report, and again wish to say I am

sorry I was unable to attend the meeting, owing to 'business vAiich kept me on the

West Coast.

I note -with interest the progress -.liiich the University has made since our last

meeting, and I congratulate your administration on the construction of an addition

to .the Chemistry Building and the new Heat and Power Laboratory. I hope it mil be

possible for IJotre Dame to carry on the aaditional construction indicated, and to

stimulate interest in endovments for foundations of Chairs and for visiting lecturers

in the various departments of the University.

•iifhile in school it vms indeed difficult for me to realize and appreciate that we

students paid only tvro-thirds o'f'the dost of our education. JTiiis figure, of (30urse,,

is also true of other universities; however, their endovaient is from ten to one hundred

times greater than ours. After experience in the business world,. I have found that

cold statistics take on a more severe and actual form. I hope tliat some day Kotre

.Dame's endowment per student, which is now ^315, will be raised to $3,315; and this,

is still only one-half of Stanford's figure of over $6,000 per student, which amount

I noted in a Press release last week.

I hope to have the pleasure, at an early date, of stopping off at Alma~Mater on

my next trip East.

Old rivalries were preserved in a spirit of healthy competition, tempered with manifest sportsmanship and mutual re­ spect and admiration. New competitors appeared on the schedules over the six seasons, and in the several seasons ahead, opening new vistas of interest and influence for Notre Dame and Notre Dame followers.

Two Priests of Congregation, Fathers French and Folk, Die

Two men whose careers added great­ ly to the development of the Congrega- gation of Holy Cross, died within a few days of each other at the opening of March. One was Rev. James French, C.S.C., oldest member of the Congregation in the United States at the time of his death, on March 6, a man who had served in many capacities in the Univer­ sity, and in the other phases of Holy Cross activity. He was buried at Notre Dame on March 8. The other was Rev. Paul Foik, C.S.C, Ph.B. '07, for many years librarian at Notre Dame (1912-24), who, in recent years at St. Edward's University, had become one of the great Catholic histor­ ians of America. Father Fpik died on March 1.

Chicago, Notre Dame's largest Local Alumni Club, will be the key city of the 1941 program.

Plans are being la;id for a national broadcast from the Chicago meeting, featuring Rev. J. Hugh O'Donnell, CS.C, President of the University; Frank Leahy, newly appointed dii'ector of athletics of Notre Dame, and Frank C. Walker, Postmaster General of the United States, — all within the scope of the theme of the Night, Notre Dame Men. And —

As a most gracious and appreciated tribute to Notre Dame and its Men, the Chicago meet­ ing will have as its guest of honor the Most Rev. Samuel A. Stritch, D.D., Archbishop of Chicago.

Announcement in detail of the national program will be sent to the Clubs as soon as de­ finite, and will appear in the April issue of the ALUMNUS.
