NOTRE DAME, INDIANA, JUNE 24. 1916. No. 37- Life's Battle: Class Poem. BV EUGENE R. MCBRIDE, PH. B. r^UT of a world where nations clash and reel Give us staunch hearts that ne'er to foe shall bend; And millions die, for things beyond their ken; Strong arms, the tempered sword of Truth to wield; Rising above the clang of ringing steel. Clear eyes, the veil of baffling doubt to rend; Resounds the inextinguishable cry: "More men!" Brave souls that only to the right shall yield. Forth from the land we claim as native sod, Summon to arms our free, untrammelled youth In the safe, peaceful paths its Fathers trod. Now at the gates of life, throughout the land; From sea to sea, the thunders speak again: In faith steadfast, inspired by holy Truth, ^'Guard of the Nation, give us men! More men!" Firm, on the quaking battlements to stand. High runs the battle tide's tumultuous strife; Breaks on our shores the wave of foreign hate. 0, Thou who first didst give our Nation life. Full-dower us with strength ere 'tis too late To meet the ambush and surprise of war. Or yet to wield the sword, when high 'tis raised; To keep undimmed the nation's guiding star Over the trail our sturdv Fathers blazed. Thunders the summons in these halls to-night; Mother! Thy ready sons have heard the call; Champing, as steed that scents the oncoming fray, Waiting thy knighthood at thy feet they kneel. Burns every youthful heart to meet the fight. Leaving the quiet field and ivied hall. Ride to the standards, and let come what may! Far must they fare to try their arm and steel. Feeling the duty that is his at last, Now do they pledge thee, ere thy blade descend Willing, with hopeful heart that scorns despair. On each bowed shoulder, queenly Notre Dame, To guard the beacons of a glorious past; Whatever come, to battle to the end The present face, and any future dare. For God, for Country, and thy fairer name.

PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.

  • Notes About Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas
    Notes about Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas Copyright © 2000–2009 by William Lee Anderson III. All rights reserved. Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas Introduction During the 1700s many Scotch-Irish and German immigrants arrived in America. They and their children settled parts of Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the Carolinas. Today, most of their descendants never think about their heritage. Most live in the present, are working on real-life problems, or planning their future. That attitude was shared by their ancestor immigrants 250 years ago. Nonetheless, I suspect most descendants have at least wondered what the word Scotch-Irish means. All my life, I have heard various facts, but never understood how they fit together. Some facts appeared contradictory. So, I investigated, and discovered a colorful story that far exceeded my expectations. My principal objectives were to: Understand certain comments made by grandparents and other relatives over 40 years ago. Understand the confusing adjective Scotch-Irish. Understand the confusing cultural icons of bagpipes, kilts, Celtic whistles, etc. Understand the history of Moravian, Lutheran, Mennonite, Amish, Dunkards, Presbyterian, Puritanism, Huguenot, Quaker, Methodist, Congregational, and Baptist denominations that have churches in the Carolinas. Understand why and when surnames became common. Understand ancestor Margaret Moore‘s recollections of the Siege of Londonderry in 1689. Understand motivations of Scotch-Irish and German immigrants during the 1700s and terms of their Carolina land grants. Understand relations between early Carolina immigrants and Native Americans. Understand why Scotland‘s heroine Flora Macdonald came to live in North Carolina in 1774.

    University of St. Thomas Law Journal Volume 4 Article 4 Issue 2 Fall 2006 2006 The olitP ics of Appointing Catholics to the Federal Courts Sheldon Goldman Bluebook Citation Sheldon Goldman, The Politics of Appointing Catholics to the Federal Courts, 4 U. St. Thomas L.J. 193 (2006). This Article is brought to you for free and open access by UST Research Online and the University of St. Thomas Law Journal. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ARTICLE THE POLITICS OF ApPOINTING CATHOLICS TO THE FEDERAL COURTS SHELDON GOLDMAN With the January 31, 2006 conftrmation of Samuel Alito as associate justice of the United States Supreme Court, the Court has a majority con­ sisting of Roman Catholic justices for the ftrst time in American history. When adding the ftve Catholic and two Jewish justices, one could argue that the religion of the majority of the nation has been marginalized, in terms of representation on the nation's highest court, as never before. Does this have signiftcance other than sectarian pride? Does this provide proof that religion has become irrelevant in the selection of Supreme Court jus­ tices? Indeed, we can ask to what extent religion played a part in the calculus of presidents and their administrations in the selection of Supreme Court justices as well as lower federal court judges throughout the course of the history of the federal judiciary. And, if it has been part of the calculus, why? The objective of this article is to examine the appointment of Catholics to the Supreme Court and to the lower federal courts.
