Watch Notre Dame Compete on "Alumni Fun" Sundays, April 7-14, on ABC-TV NOTRE DAME MEMORIAL MASS TO LAUNCH CENTENNIAL AT GETTYSBURG ON JUNE 29 This summer the Civil War Centennial reaches its peak with the Centenar)' of the Battle of Gettysburg, generally conceded to be the "high-water mark of the Confederacy" and the crucial engagement of the War between the States. Nearly one-third of Notre Dame's priests took part in the Civil War as chaplains. Of these priests of Holy Cross — including Fathers James M. Dillon, Peter Paul Cooney, E. B. Kilroy, Joseph C. Carrier, Paul E. Gillen, Joseph Leveque anl Julian Bourget, C.S.C. — perhaps the most colorful was Rev. William Corby, C.S.C. Veteran of many engagements with the Army of the Potomac, Father Corby b known to most Notre Dame men because of identi­ cal statues on the Gettysburg battlefield and in front of Corby Hall on the campus. The statues depict Father Corby standing on a rock, giving absolution to the men of the Irish Brigade just before the battle. Later Father Corby was president of the University on two separate occasions and died while ser\'ing as provincial superior in 1897. The dates of the official centennial observance are Monday, July • 1, through Wednesday, July 3, 1963, commemorating the corre­ sponding three-day period of battle in 1863. As a prelude to this obser\'ance. Rev. Thomas J. O'Donnell, C.S.C, has completed ar­ rangements for a Notre Dame Day on the battlefield, to be held on Saturday, June 29, featuring a Memorial Mass at 12 noon E.D.T. at the Eternal Peace Light in Gettysburg National Park. The Mass, to be offered by Bishop Leech of Harrisburg, will highlight a day dedicated not only to Father Corby and the Notre Dame men of the Civil War, but also to the patriotism of thousands of Notre Dame men in World Wars I and II, the Mexican, Spanish- American and Korean Wars, etc. The batdeiield is within easy weekend dri\ing distance for alumni from Ohio to New England to the Carolinas, and Notre Dame families in the Middle States have been encouraged to make group tours, box-lunch e.xcursions, etc. Maps and further information are a\'ailable for all alumni who plan to attend this event.
