Jan. 3, 1955 Dear Notre Dame Men: Often during the course of each year we have many opportunities to talk of Notre Dame. AVe reminisce, %ve discuss and we speculate. Universal Notre Dame Communion Sunday, on Dec. 5, 1954, occupied a greater part of our thoughts and expressions than any other time in tlie year. Notre Dame is many things to each of us. On one occasion, it may be its Patroness, Our Lady—the Motlier of God, s}'mbolized by the statue on the Golden Dome; or its phi­ losophy of education, the training of the whole man—^his spirit, his mind and his body. On anotlier occasion, it may signify the God-given beauty of its campus; one of the adiletic teams; or the memorj' of an unusually pleasant period in our lives; or one of many odier choices. Always, it is the University, a center of learning for young men, the students, who neces­ sarily are the "heart" of the Notre Dame family. From the beginning, those to whom the care of Notre Dame has been entrusted, the religious men of tlie Congi-egation of Holy Cross, have planned nothing less tlian a great American Cadiolic University—a world center of Christian culture. Much has been accomplished; much more has been planned. Progress, always the watchword, continues. The plant and the tools have been provided, and improved. The faculty has gro\\'n in numbers and attainment. It is now being supplemented so as to provide teaching no less than great. In all these things, we, who have profited by and enjoyed the educational experiences offered at Notre Dame, are proud to have had some part, however small. Often, we have hoped for an oppor­ tunity to do something more ^atal or more concrete, in aid of the University's development. Now is the time. Everj^vhere in the world there is a great demand for those who have what it takes to lead the way to better living for all. Where, if not at Notre Dame, can such leaders be trained? We can do much to help by seeking out and introducing to Notre Dame young men \vith outstanding qualifications who, under the guidance of dedicated men, will be trained to reflect the true spirit of Notre Dame in positions of trust, responsibility and leadership. We, Notre Dame men, must seize this imusual opportunity to aid and assist in the development of the "heart" of the Notre Dame family. This is a program wherein our own personal efforts can be significant. There is no better time than the present. Thank you for your support during the year 1954. Yours hopefully,

Jomes G. McGoIdrick President
