The present necessary adjustment is much easier than the one that these men made in the original transition from the civilian to the military way of life. In this one, at least, they are returning to an environment they knew before, not being thrust violently and indiscrimi­ nately into situations entirely new. For almost half of them it js a return to Notre Dame itself; for all of them it is a renewal of the ways of peaceful nor­ mality. More than a third of all the veterans at the University were here last term. To these has fallen the task of orientat­ ing the new ones. When the registration for this term began on March 11, infor­ mation tables were set up at various points on the campus.

LOBUND, is a dis­ tinct and unique division of the University devoted entirely to research and is not a part of any academic department. But it has not always been so. For the complete story let us go back through the years to 1928. In that year Professor James A. Eeyniers, then an under­ graduate at Notre Dame and now director of LOBUND, started a series of experiments and visualized a long range basic research program in bacteriology. After graduation in 1930, he continued as an instructor in the Department of. Biology and was given a laboratory in Science Hall for his experimentation by Reverend Francis Wenninger, C.S.C, late Dean of the College of Science. Professor Reyniers' research program was aimed at in­ vestigating bacteria and their functions through a direct and fresh approach. Up to that time, most of the work in bacteri­ ology had been side-tracked from "pure" research to practi­ One oi the fint pieces of geim-bee uppcuolua steiilited cal or applied research.

As would be expected, bacteriologists finally be­ corral in one place the cultures they were investigating. As gan to realize that a science not based upon knowledge of its an example of the former, let us suppose a scientist isolated a germ which he suspected to be the cause of a given disease. In order to prove this suspicion, he would probably inject an animal with the germs to see if the animal ouuufeated that disease. If in the meantime, a foreign organism got into his culture, the results in the animal would be ineondnsive siniee he was no longer sure of the "purity" of his cnltnie. This problem of contamination, then, was always present and ruined many an experiment after months of hard work. The xieed for isolating a culture under experiment can be exemplified in this manner; suppose a bacteriologist sets ont to work with a highly pathogenic (disease pradueing) organ­ ism. If he does not confine that organism in bottles,, flasks, etc., of his own choosing, it may escape and cause disease and death to him and his fellow workers: The history of bac­ teriology is filled with gold stars for snch men who have died that medical knowledge mif^t progrress. .

A janitor was converted into a stockroom keeper. An animal caretaker was employed.

With this very meager staff, the germ-free apparatus and all the other scientific paraphenalia were moved into the new building in June, 1937. This was indeed a big change. From six small crowded rooms in Science Hall, the group moved into one of the finest sets of specially designed laboratories in the country. Here were air-conditioned animal rooms, sterilization laboratories, machine shops, offices, micrurgical laboratories, classrooms, autopsy rooms, a chemistry labor­ atory, a darkroom and a large stockroom. In all, 23 white- tiled, fire-proof laboratories are devoted to bacteriological re­ search and teaching. Year after year, in this building, the work has expanded and the staff increased. The seemingly insurmountable tech­ nical difficulties of the early days have been overcome and the long hours spent have been well rewarded.

Reyniers obtained especially dark window shades and worked on night after night. The good Dean Wenninger soon gave up as he realized that these were unusual people working on an unusual and very promising research program.

After months of effort, it became apparent that the basic idea for germ-free apparatus which could be steam sterilized was sound and that animals could be maintained germ-free over long periods of time. With this point proved and with promising results from the micrurgical apparatus, funds became available to have the equipment made by commercial firms outside the University. It was also apparent that the quarters (now composed of six laboratories) were too small to house the experiments. Reyniers was therefore instructed to draw up plans for a new Biology building, one floor of which would be devoted to the Laboratories of Bacteriology.

In addition to these specific looks ahead to contributing even greater benefits for human­ problems of great and immediate "practical" importance, ity in the future. LOBUND continuously carries on its own basic program of research. This basic or theoretical research is as important as the other. Other important achievements have included the design and testing of a new method for the prevention of air-borne epidemics among infants and others in nurseries, orphan­ ages and hospitals. This, the Reyniers Cubicle System, has been installed and in use at the Cradle in Evanston, Illinois, for more than five years. Clinical reports indicate that this system is most successful for the purpose. Among the germ-free specimens reared and studied are monkeys, guinea pigs, rats, flies, dogs, cats and chickens. While the apparatus and the techniques presented many problems, each of these forms of life demanded separate and intensive study to overcome the difficulties inherent in the rearing of germ-free animals. For example, it takes approxi­ mately 500 man-hours of work to rear one litter of white rats to 30 days of age. Well over 50 different formulae have been tried in perfecting a satisfactory diet for a germ-free white rat. Micrurgy has developed along many lines, one of which resulted in a method for single cell isolation. Micro-needles, sharpened electrically, and guided by mechanical fingers are used to "fish" the microscopic cells from under the micro­ scope one at a time. Preliminary work on a machine for mechanically counting living bacteria was starting in 1932. Since that time circuits, as yet unpublished, similar to those used in counting the discharges of Geiger-Muelle'r tubes have been developed. With these circuits, plates having over a thousand groups of bacteria may be counted in less than 30 seconds with an accuracy not approachable by the human This illustrates the type oi appaiatus used in modem eye in routine work. micTuxgiccil zeseoorch.

MANILA.—Climaxing a busy round of dances and stag parties that have made fast friends of many Manila and U. S. Notre Dame men. the Notre Dame Club of Manila staged a successful Christmas Dance Dec 27, 1945, at the "Taza de Oro" on Dewey boulevard, facing ship-filled Manila harbor. General chairman of the dance was Antonio F. Gonzalez, *25, manager of the Insular Life Assurance company and one of Manila's lead­ ing citizens. Tony, first post-liberation presi­ dent of the club, was ably assisted in making arrangements for the dance by JA. Harold A. "Pat" Sitt, '40, square-jawed Irish-American from Chicago. Sitt has become the leading Notre Dame booster in Manila since his arrival from New Guinea in June, 1945; a ubiquitous person with a pocketful of names, addresses and telephone numbers and with a watchful eye on class-ring fingers. Chairman of the important Food Committee was Quartermaster officer Maurice J. Kigjnte, *34, of Plainfield, N, J. Co-chairmen of the date committee were Xeil J, McCarty, '42, Kau- kauna. Wis., and John Sievert, '41, Des Moines, la. Bnriqne Brias, '37, Manila, assisted with arrangements. Music was furnished by an S6th Division orchestra.

Ponce £nri!e, a prominent ^Manila attorney who had attended Notre Dame back in 1906. The club continued to grow throughout the twenties, with occasional meet­ ings during vacation periods. However, jammed social calendars in the country-club atmosphere of. pre-war Manila brought activities Into a state of suspension about 1935. This was the condition when the Japs occupied Manila on Jan. 2, 1942, beginning ii three-year occupation during which practically all social activity ended. The axiom that you can't keep X. D. men apart was never proved more true than in the liberation of the Philippines. Beginning with tlie 11th Airborne Division landings on south­ ern Luzon in January*. 1945, American serx'Ico- nien began to seek out Xotre Dame alumni.

Resumption of the annual Commencement and Reunions ! on the Notre Dame campus, Friday, Saturday and Sunday,

JUNE 28-29-30, 1946

As previously announced, conditions do not permit full resumption of the five Year Reunion and all of the features of former Commencement week-ends. Father O'Donnell has appointed a Committee to study plans, how­ ever, to make this 1946 informal reunion, without Class emphasis, one that Noti-e Dame men will remember. It is an opportunitj'', whatever the limi­ tations of housing and food may be, for Notre Dame men to see Noti-e Dame and each other. Returning service men of all Classes are looking forward to this occasion. Many of the Classes that would normallj- hold reunions this year are also planning to prepare special programs for the week-end. So plan to be on the campus. We are sure you'll enjoy it. Details of housing, food, etc., •v\ill be annomiced in adequate time.
