First Building 'Magnificent Structure' This first college building was a mag­ nificent structure for the untamed wilds of Indiana, four stories high and mount­ ed with a tower and a black, iron ci'oss. Despite its four stories, it wasn't quite as large as one of the library's read­ ing rooms. Not long after, Notre Dame conferred its first degree on the Eev. N. H. Gillespie, and Henry Clay, the great statesman, established the first post office here in 1851. The quadrangle was only a half acre of cleax'ed woodland, and the old stage road to South Bend went right through what is now Sorin Hall Sub. Later this first Administi-ation Building was en­ larged by the addition of two \\ings, but even this alteration proved insufficient for Father Sorin's ever groA\nng group •of students. Though only 21 years old, Notre Dame in 1865 celebrated the attainment of its majority by building a new Capitol.

Wrote the SCHOLASTIC : "The stately pile is a specimen of archi­ tectural grandeur without, while within all the graces of art have been observed in a system of modest ornamentation. The interior is lighted by gas and warm­ ed by steam, thus adding safety to com­ fort, while the ventilation is perfect and supply of pure water abundant." Since the time of Sorin the campxis has grown quickly in size as well as in | scope. Unlike most ivy-covered schools, Notre Dame is a modern college. Nearly half of all the college buildings have heen built within the last 2-5 years. It is this, more than anj'thing else, that ac­ counts for the dissimilarity of archi­ tectural design and conflict of style be- ' tween the huge, ungainly Main Build­ ing and the trim, modern lines of nearby Farley Hall.

To be eligible for State Department assistance candidates must hold a bach­ elor's degi'ee or its equivalent and must be engaged in or recently have completed graduate study. A good working knowl­ edge of the language of the country in which study is to be undertaken, is also required. Projects will be considered with reference to their usefulness in develop­ ing broader understanding between the United States and the other American republics as well as on the basis of their technical merit.

Honorably discharged veterans of World Wars I and II who meet the above qualifications will be given preference, and the selection will be made from stu­ dents in all parts of the country. Al­ though no age limit has been set, the probability is that persons over 35 will have less chance of being selected.

Successful candidates will be expected to remain in residence for the purpose of study or research for at least six months.
