Twenty-Four Million Vs. the Grace of God
"Buildings housing approximately 250 students,"—"thus under one roof is lodged a group of un dergraduates, large enough to afford variety of tj-pe but small enough to secure considerable intimacy," —"the whole point of the .... plan is to throw groups of undergraduates, without regard to class, creed, or previous condition of society into an intimate group for the purpose of coming to know one another through four years of daily contact. You cannot live with a man, study -with him, eat with him, and talk vnth him witliout finding out something which you did not know before because no two human beings are exactly alike or possess the same degree of experience. Multiply this by two or three hundred, and you have a closely knit society of young men, embodjdng many different types of ability and interest."—"It is not, of course, to be expected that all these young men Avill find them selves in accord. It is not even to be desired that they should. A man "svill have his o^vn particular group of friends wherever he goes and whatever he may be doing. But if he is compelled daily to come in close contact with many different soi-ts and conditions of men, representing many varjang interests and hobbies, he is surely the better for it. During the plastic yeai"s of college life, when he is reading ^^adely and beginning to think for himself, such a community of life, offering as it does the opportunity to exchange his ideas and defend his views and modify them when he finds they are wrong and offensive to his fellows, or, if he believes them to be right, stick by them,—surely such an expe rience is invaluable."
Consider those statements. With a few modifications, couldn't they mean Sorin, or Corby, or Walsh, or Brownson, or any of the halls on the Notre Dame campus? Add to the above pleas for physical and mental companionsliip a chapel, and couldn't that be an excerpt from the Notre Dame Catalogue? But it isn't. It is the substance of the interpretation of the House Plans being inaugurated at Harvard and at Yale universities. Mr. Edward S. Harkness was so impressed by the possibilities of this "radical plan of educational life" that he has given to each of these institutions the munificent sum of $12,000,000 for this specific purpose. If ever a claim for the gi'ace of God was supported b5'^ facts, it would seem to be in a comparison of the tedious process of sacrifice and prayer by which Notre Dame has arrived, tlirough eighty-eight years of suffering, of saxang, of foresight and determination bordering on the supernatural, at a posi tion in the educational world equal to that being considered vrith all the awe and reverent suspicion of a new movement by our Eastern contemporaries. And they, through the vision and generosity of one man, will escape what Notre -Dame endured, backed in their "pioneering" by the veiy influential factor of a t^velve million dollar bank account. Dollar vs. Dolor is an old argument. It may be that Notre Dame has, in the price she has paid in men and prayers, stored up gi'aces that can never come with a material agent. But as one ponders the new Living Endo^vment Plan, the material problems that rest heavily upon the material plant of the University, and what the future may hold for Notre Dame, one can but surmise, ^vith a certain amount of ambition, what the grace of God might accomplish, backed by t^venty-four million dollars.
