An alumni-coached team in an alumni-administered college must always advance alumni interest and enthusiasm. When it is accompanied by victories, as in the 1938 season, naturally both are intensified. And when, in defeat, as in the ultimate reversal at Southern California, appear those things deeper than victory, which Notre Dame has always taught, and which informed American sportsmanship under the leadership of Knute K. Rockne, '14, then alumni everywhere rejoice. The football season of 1938 has produced—and nothing more complimentary could be said—another company of Notre Dame men who take their places with '88, '03, '09, '24, '29, '30,, and other Notre Dame immortals beloved but less sung.

The New York club had previously planned a Com munion-breakfast for that morning in which the success of the Pan- American conference would be the chief spiritual objective. The cooper ation of other Notre Dame clubs throughout the country had been en listed toward the same objective, with a gratifying response. Before he sailed Father O'Hara an nounced his plans for an extensive study of South .American educational institutions, with a view to closer co operation between them and schools of the United States.
