Dear Jim: After twenty-five yean, I wonder how many of the fellows of that famous class would now be known to me. There is a very vivid mental picture of so many of the real men whom I knew so well and with whom I have never kept in contact, you are among them both personally and in your offi cial capacity as class secretary. While I have not been active on a national plane, I have managed to keep well occupied in the activi ties of the Central New York Club. Since Chicago took JIM MULVANEY away from us, we have very fc\v '31er$ around. Maybe I shouldn't be too hasty because as I stop to think we have t^vo '3lers running the aiTairs of the city.

The University of Notre Dame Alumni Association
Midland, Texas May 30, 1956 Fellow Alumni:
During the past month a great number of our one hundred and fifty-six alumni clubs scattered over the world celebrated Universal Notre Dame Night. The late John H. Neeson originated the idea in 1924 when he said in pan, "\Ve shall devote one evening to the 'Old Days' to reminisce, to play and to be serious, to discuss the problems that you know must be sorely troubling the successors to Serin, which are our problems, .... And if we know, as we will, that Notre Dame men the countr\' over are, like us, meeting together in the spirit of the old days .... that's a thrill worthwhile!"
The general theme of this year's meetings was "Local Leadership." It was pointed out that a college education was once an unusual luxur)', primarily bettering the economic status of its beneficiaries. The alumnus now is no longer free to selfishly pursue only for his individual gain. He is a leader, owing society leadership derived from his advantage. AVith pride we of Notre Dame can point to numerous graduates in ever}' large city who have assumed their positions as leaders — whose actions plainly exhibit a thorough understanding and knowledge of the moral principles of our religious and political heritage.
In my message printed in the March-April ALUMNUS, the work of the Placement Bui-eau, with particular reference to Alumni, was discussed. To report further, cards were mailed to 21,000 of you and inquiries have been received from 590. Of these, 234 have sent in their Alumni Placement Application registering for job opportunities. Father Mendez and Mr. Bott report tliat many favorable replies have already been received and that numerous alumni havs called and listed their job openings. You will be pleased to hear that the number of urgent cases was at a minimum. This is a large and important under taking, and you may be sure that the Placement Bureau is doing eveiything possible to expedite iiandling of each individual application.
The annual holiday for wives — Reunion \Veekend — approaches. This is another way of saying that while the girls stay home, the "old man" heads for his class get-togetlier, on campus, bringing some loud sport shirts, a wrinkled fielders glove and the trusty putter. He also unlimbei-s a gravel-toned but earnest basso profundo. Hope to see you all June 8-9-10.
Sincerely,
SJB^^. ^^L.JLC^
