I shall go da\\*n as the sun goes I shall take flight as a bird wings I shall mount, strong as the promise Over the rim of the world— Into the infinite blue— Forged in love's white, first fire— Will there be quiet around me.

The AdminisiraUon Building To All Notre Dame Clubs: Heretofore we have laid no stress on publicizing the Laymen's Eetreat at Notre Dame—^the largest single Eetreat in the world, and this because we felt the traditional loyalty of all Notre Dame men to Alumni aifairs would cause an ovei-flow in this actiwty, thus taxing the facilities of the University in handling the throng of over a thousand men who come here each ^August for the Reti'eat. We are happy, however, to inform you that recent aiTangements will now permit of splendid accommodations for all who come for the Retreat. Accordingly, the Council of Local Clubs of the Alumni Association has directed that all Notre Dame Clubs be informed of the opportunity for members to make their annual Eetreat within the bosom of their Alma Mater; and that members be invited, particularly this year, to spend SIXTY GOLDEN HOUES amid familiar scenes. The Sixteenth Annual Retreat opens Thursday evening, August 2nd, at 8 o'clock (Central Standard Time) and closes Sunday morning, August 5th, 1934, in time for early departure for home. Supper ^vill be served at 6 o'clock Thursday evening. Trj' to be present. To cover the expense of eight "Notre Dame" meals, room, service and other features provided by the University, the modest stipend of only Ten Dollars is required. Transportation costs can be greatly reduced by parties clubbing together in autos. For reservation of rooms or other information, communicate with Rev. Thomas Kearney, C. S. C, Director Lajonen's Retreats, Notre Dame, Indiana.
