He was the embodi­ ment of that humility associated with the priesthood, in the face of achieve­ ment and honors that brought the national spotlight to him repeatedly. He was almost as great in his hobby, botany, as he was in his chosen field, acetylene chemistry. And the botan­ ical libraries, collections, and contri­ butions of the University in this field can be traced largely to his interest. Father Nieuwland is one of the last of those great individual figures in a chapter of Notre Dame's history who emerged, almost in spite of them­ selves, as dominant in their several fields.

Your Own Distinctive Notre Dame Bookplates

Contest Presents Opportunity to Mark Your Library Attractively and Usefully as an Alumnus of the University; Bookplates Available Through the Alumni Office at Cost.

In answer to the requests of several alumni, and recognizing the many splendid benefits that can arise from the custom, the ALUMNUS presents the Notre Dame bookplates. These plates were prepared as the result of a contest conducted in the Depart­ ment of Art for this specific project.

George M. Elmore, South Bend, a Sophomore In the Department of Art, -won first prize; George E. Delker, Henderson, Kentucky, a Sophomore won second prize, and Francis A. Kroeger, South Bend, a Sophomore, won the third prize.

These plates do several things. They identify your library attrac­ tively. They identify your books (Name) distinctively. They bring, each time you look at them yourself, an tAumnue of the refreshing memories of the cam­ ltniv«ir0itg 0f itoire 1>ame pus where your love of books was Number 1 fostered and your understanding of them enlarged. When your Number 2 friends read your books these plates emphasize for them the cul­ tural side of Notre Dame as re­ flected in you and your library.

And, to be editorially honest, when you have used a book to your satisfaction, if it still has value, _ the Notre Dame plate is a reminder that contributions of good books to the University Li­ brary are never out of order. How fitting and how fine if these con­ tributions come already marked with the stamp of Notre Dame.

An example of this latter thought is the special bookplate prepared by the University for the library of the late Eugene McBride, so that these valuable volumes so generously donated to Notre Dame will commemorate his love of culture and at the same time his love of Notre Dame where that contact with culture had flourished.

(Name) These bookplates can be ordered through the Alumni OflSce, in the ALUVNUS UNTVERSITAIIS sizes shown here, for 55 in lots of NOSTRAE- D07AINAE, A lACU 500. Specify in ordering the exact FROM THa BOOKS OF way your name should appear in the space provided.
