Every day of to remember that this depression what it may, and let conditions be your lives you realize the fact that stands before you as a gigantic fact what they may, my first principle and work can be the one without being June, 1931 THE NOTKE DAME ALUMNUS 357 the other. A laborer on the road very often works hard, but he does not often work intelligently, otherwise he would not remain a laborer. The same is true of the plodding book­ keeper who is contented to spend his life making figures. Business today demands the maximum amount of application and industry, and the maximum amount of intelligence. It is so because both brain and brawn have gone into its building, just as brain and brawn have found their rightful places in the playing of games. Industry generally lias grmvn to' such proportions in recent years, that today every large business is made up of a multitude of departments, in each of which a more or less higUy developed specialization is required of those entrusted with responsibility. I am not in any way contradicting my 9 previous advice to you 'to master first B your own special duty, when I say Z o that from the beginning you should be s unwilling to know merely that special 3 duty. I still ask you to master, and z master thoroughly, the work you be­ H gin with; but at the same time I X would urge upon you the supreme im­ portance of acquainting yourselves with everything that is related, di­ rectly or indirectly, to your particular task. The average young man, buried in a department of a large business, C seldom knows what is done, or what Z is going on, in other departments, and unfortunately the average young man in almost all such cases does not even care, or want to know, what is going on in his own department beyond the limits of his particular duties. Such a young man will not go very far in the business world. Speaking directly to those of you who are going into industry, and I suppose most of you are, I ask you to imagine yourselves commencing in a small department of a large business. Yours may seem a j-elatively unimportant task, but in accordance with the measure of your intelligent industry you may make of it the most important task of your z life. Look around you, look at the man next to you, look at the man above yon, seek information concern­ ing the relation of other departments to your own, inquire into the nature and the working of everything that concerns the business as a whole and, if you care to put it that way, have a restless mind. By that I mean, have a mind that is not content to know- merely the matter absolutely demand­ ed for the bare fulfilment of your duty, but a mind that brings to bear much that is over and beyond mere duty. Never be satisfied with doing only the particular work that may be assigned to you. Become a patient plodder, and always be unsatisfied until you know that you have exerted every power within you, and used all legitimate means at your disposal, to improve yourselves and to improve (Continued on Page 371) 358 THE NOTRE DAME ALUMNUS June, 1931 Eighty - Seventh Commencement Memorable Things happened so fast on June provided a classical musical setting seven hundred, at 6 o'clock Saturday 5, 6 and 7 that the Editor is simply for the production. evening in the University Dining going to fall back on the program for At noon on Friday the Senior Class Halls.

Frank E. Hering, whose activities Frank E. Hering Honored On Mother's Day in many national fields are familiar to his fellow Notre Dame men, was the recipient of additional outstand­ ing honors on Sunday, May 10.

In Arlington cemetery, at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, simultane­ ously with the Indianapolis observ­ ance, Mrs. Virgil McClure, president of the American War Mothers, which organization has honored Mr. Hering as founder of Mother's Day, read an address prepared by Mr. Hering. The ALUMNUS is pleased to pre­ sent herewith a eulogy of this great work of a great alumnus, delivered at the Indianapolis ceremony, by an­ other eloquent alumnus of Notre Dame, Father John Cavanaugh: In the capital of the nation the gratitude of a generous people has lifted up a noble monument to the daring navigator who first sailed the uncharted seas, who out of his cour­ age and wisdom gave to the world an­ other continent and to humanity an­ other hero. But the discerning way­ farer, as he stands in the shadow of that majestic pile feels that only half the story has been told; -and that, side by side with the monument to Columbus, should be lifted up an­ other of Isabella of Castile, the glor­ ious queen who made Columbus pos­ sible. President Taft once told me that the world will never know how much of the success of any adminis­ tration is due to the wisdom, the vir­ tue, the courage of the Prseident's wife. A few years ago there passed away one of the Wright brothers, the Columbus of the clouds, the bril­ liant young narigator who iirst dove with his airship the billows of the sky. It was only then that the world learned how much of the success of their large enterprise was due to the constancy, the courage, the noble gen­ erosity of their sister Catherine— Catherine, the little country school­ teacher, who when her brothers, working in their poor blacksmith shop, were tempted to discourage ment and despair, regularly put into MOTHER their hands her meager salarj- and into their hearts the faith and The flowers that are put Will bring no smile strength on to victory. upon her breast to lips forever chilled.
