President Dear Friends, I write this letter at the outset of another school year – one that began, appropriately, with our usual appeal to God for guidance and grace in all that we undertake. We brought to our opening Mass of the Holy Spirit hearts both hopeful and heavy. The sense of potential and energy that we normally feel during this time of new beginnings has been tempered with grief and consternation at the devastation wrought by recent natural disasters. What a particularly important time to gather around the Altar and participate in the Sacrament that stands as the source and summit of our faith. In it we are drawn up into the great mystery of Christ’s dying and rising, an act of self- gift that explicitly teaches us something very important about suffering in the world: where there is pain and hardship, God is there. The crucifixion models for us the type of commitment of presence we are called to imitate with our lives. As Jesus is nailed to the cross, so are we challenged and invited to be utterly present to the suffering in our world today. Thus the Eucharist that sustains us also mandates action. Hurricane Katrina and other tragedies reawakened us to the privation that afflicts our brothers and sisters the world over every single day. The poor, the elderly, and the sick in those hardest-hit by these recent tragedies await us. As Christians we know that God is with them. Let us not fail to meet Him there. God bless, Karl Kiser, S.J. 6 • Highlights www.uofdjesuit.org Fall 2005 INSTITUTIONAL ADVANCEMENT Notes from the Advancement Department By Tom O’Keefe ‘64 Vice President, Institutional Advancement Dear Cubs, Throughout the school year, you will be hearing more about Since I returned to U of D Jesuit in January 2004, I have the vision and how you will be able to assist us in assuring that been assisting Fr.

Al is best remembered for his book, 11 What Was the 11 McFarlan? , which was co-authored by Keith Marvin. We have lost a dedicated and highly respected historian and a good friend.

KING CHARLES CLIFTON ELWOOD HAYNES ALEXANDER WINTON THE DECORATION OF THE PIONEERS, JANUARY 6, 1925 In recognition of their services to the automobile industry during the first quarter century of its history, these men were decorated with silver medals at the Silver Anniversary Dinner of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. Their names were chosen from a list, supplied by the Smithsonian Institu- tion, of the Americans who had contributed the most to the mechanical development of the motor car. Included in the picture is Charles Clifton, who as president of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce acted as host during the ceremony. Not in the picture, but decorated also, was R. E. Olds.

SHAW COMPANY PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA PREFACE THIS book attempts to trace the economic and com- mercial growth of the American automobile industry. Manufacturing methods and processes are discussed only as a background for the proper understanding of market and financial developments. A companion volume now in preparation will deal more fully with the history and problems of mechanical invention and factory organization. Because of the recency of most automotive develop- ments, there is little in print upon which one may draw. I have therefore obtained most of my data from the field—from companies, from individuals, and from trade associations.
