In analyzing its position relative to the proposed Science Building in 1949 it was found that the Univeisity could contribute ^350,000 of unrestricted contributions to Notre Dame in 1946 and 1947, towards the ^1,750,000 estimated cost of the Science Building. Therefore, ^1,400,- 000 is still heeded from alumni and friends in 1949. The Notre Dame Alumnus

Unless one agrees with Hegel that 'we learn nothing from history except the fact that we learn nothing from history,' the proceedings of the second Institute, and the five distinguished lectures it presents, shoidd be a rich harvest of knowledge. The similarities and dissimiliarities in the theories of the natural law among the civilizations should serve to stimulate fresh reflections among those who yearn for a solid theory of certainty and truth upon which to buttress the failing hopes of salvation for a worid over which the air hangs heavy in the fear- inspiring silence before an atomic cataclysm. The hour is late, but the Natural Law Insti tute believes we have, not only the time, but the heavy moral obligation to find the right answers."

"The problem of the natural law is cer tainly one of the most ancient in human thought as well as one of the most subtle in its aspects and one of the most far- reaching in its conclusions," said Dr. Lebel. "The expression 'natural' law is ambiguous, confusing and misleading; it means natural justice, that is to say, an inner sentiment of right and wrong, which is to be found everywhere in all men; it is not written, it is proper to human nature, it is a thing of reason; all men have a natural, infallible and practical knowledge of it; man must do good and avoid evil; he who sins shoidd be punished; damage done must be repair ed; man must preserve his own being. All these precepts belong to the nature of man, they are the very expression of the universal idea of justice.
Poets and Philosophers "The Greek poets and the Greek philoso phers have expressed this anew in different terms. Poets considered the natural law as a gift of the gods, as something higher than the law of the State and to be found in the reason of man, for man alone has a sense of right and wrong. Philosophers conceived the natural law as something based upon equal ity, reason, justice; it is something universal, it does not change, there is only one. The idea of natural law took several centuries to be expressed properly; the Greeks coined the proper words to express it."

From the standpoint of academic urgency, the Science Building emerged from the many projects as the indisputable first con sideration. Alumni are familiar enough with the long and illustrious history of Science at Notre Dame to be thoroughly convinced of its merits. Knowledge of work being done today serves only to multiply these already established values. This is the front elevation of our proposed new Science Bui/ding. The cosf of the building is estimated at $1,750,000. Unrestricted contributions to Notre Dame in 1946 and 1947 have built up a fund of $350,000 wfiicfi the University has designated as the beginning of the Science BuHding Fund. The alumni of Notre Dame and the Notre Dame Foundation have been asked to raise the remaining $1,400,000 so that the University may begin construction in 1949.

Following the double header program, the team embarked on a long trip to face Southern Methodist in Dallas, Tex., and St. Mar\-'s in San Fran cisco. The toughest part of the Notre Dame schedule remains for the January- and Feb ruary portion of the card. The Irish have to face DePaul twice, Butler twice, Denver, Kentucky, Michigan State twice, Marquette twice, St. Louis twice, Canisius, New York University and Northwestern. The starting lineup for the Notre Dame cagers in early season games featured the same five starters from last year's team, which won 17 while losing 7.

Tri- pucka, after spending more than a week in a Los Angeles hospital, was flown back to Notre Dame and was able to proceed to his home for the Christmas holidays. Perhaps the nicest things about the game came during Tripucka's stay in the Los An geles hospital. Members of the Southern Cal ifornia team made it a point to visit Frank during his confinement and presented him a football autographed by the Trojans and a Southern California monogrammed blan ket. Before the Southern California game, the Irish were hard pressed only twice during the season. The first time was against the Purdue Boilermakers in the opening game of the season in which, all sports fans will remember, Notre Dame staved off a late Purdue rally to gain a 28 to 27 decision. And the second time was against Northwes tern, but here again the Irish came back to gain a 12 to 7 triumph. Coach Leahy used his reserves generously as the Notre Dame eleven defeated Pitts burgh, 40 to 0; Michigan State, 26 to 7; Nebraska, 44 to 13; Iowa, 27 to 12; Navy, 41 to 7; Indiana, 42 to 6, and Washington, 46 to 0, in the remaining seven games of the ten-game schedule.
