Fr. Walsh Tells Forum Stories of World War I Speaking before the Catholic Porum Monday night in the Hotel LaSalle, Rev. Matthew J. Walsh, C.S.C., presi­ dent- emeritus of the Univei-sity of Notre Dame since 1928, and an ai-my chaplain in the United States Army during World War I, told many interesting stories on his army life and gave a brief sketch of the life of a soldier in war time. Father Walsh entei-tained a crowd of about 35 for over an hour with his stories, experiences, and incidents. He told how many priests crossed the At­ lantic during the Revolutionary War to minister to the soldiers. "In the War of 1812," he said, "there were no chap­ lains. In 1846 Archbishop Hughes of New York called a meeting of bishops, the result of which was that two priests were appointed to minister to the sol­ diers." These priests laid the basis for the modem system of Catholic chap­ lains.

Father Walsh began his service at Fort Sheridan in Alabama and did ser­ vice at several other camps. He crossed the ocean on the Leviathan, the only priest among 17,000 men. At Crezancy he conferred the Notre Dame degree of bachelor of laws on Dan McGlynn in the trenches before a battle and thereby qualified him for special service. He was acting in his capacity of vice-president of Notre' Dame, a title which he had never relinquished. After the war Father Walsh became a member of the faculty of the Univer­ sity of Bonne, founded by the Y.M.C.A., to take care of the college men in the army who had not received their de­ grees. At present Father Walsh is a member of the history departmnt of Notre Dame.
