As repotted in the Income and Expense Statement the University had a net loss from operations amountiiig to ^38,136.41, or a little over Vi^o of the total operating expense, which included an increased expenditure resulting from the expansion of the Graduate School and allo cation of the parrial expense resulting from the erecnon of Farley Hall. In the interest of avoiding lengthy detail, we have presented net income from the many auxiliary departments. 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 This magazine is published bi-monthly by the University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana.

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.
