Flronk J. Beilly, MacNair-Dorland 1937 Co„ 254 W. 31st SL, N. Y. C. From FRANK J. REILLY: The golden dome suddenly loomed up through a blue opening in the tops of the trees that line Notre Dame Avenue as we streaked cab- bound for the campus and reunion on Friday morning. May 30. The sight of the dome swept back the cloudy curtain of memory to the first time we saw that now familiar sight back In September of 1933. A field Mass in progress In the cemetery farther down the road shoved our recollection ahead to the war years and the remembrance of all that has happened in the decade since most of our class left the campus. Somehow the sudden sight of the dome and the field Mass in progress symbolized our attempts during the reunion to recapture our feelings in the past and to reconcile them with our present mode of thought and life. Notre Dame, to the alumnus who hadn't visited the campus in the ten years since gradu^. atlon. has acquired a delightful beauty that comes only with maturity.
