Pope Pius XII Honors Notre Dame

His Holiness sent the following message to the University on the occasion of its Centenary; the letter was read at the 100th Commencement. The Pontiff, as Cardi­ nal Pacelli, received an honorary Litt. D. on the Notre Dame campus, October 25, 1936.

It must, indeed, be a source of profound satisfac­ tion to the beloved Religious of the Congregation of Holy Cross to know that the spiritual training afforded the students at tiie University bears ample fruit as those young men go forth to spread in the outside world, by their example and wholesome enthusiasm, their devotion to the Blessed Sacrament and to Mary Immaculate.

(Ed. Note: Following are additional contribution* to the Second Annual Alumni Fond. The Association has been delayed in launching any intensive campaign in this second year because of a desire to coordinate it thoroughly with the University program, and to be ready in the Alumni Office to render proper cooperation to the CInb and Class officers. The program can be encompassed within a short space of time if these conditions prevail, so we need not worry about the ultimate goal. In the meantime, as a preparation for your participation, you could BUY U.S. WAR BONDS, as you did last year. Series E must be made out to a person — we suggest Rev.

Composite Club List of Alumni Contributions CENTENARY FUND

MAY, 1942 to JULY, 1943 (Inclusive)

Below is the picture of the Club participating in the Centenary Fund. With the exception of a very few Clubs, this repre­ sents simply an accrediting of gifts to the Clubs with little or no effort on their part to stimulate giving. When the Second Annual Alumni Fund gets under way — and we hope that will be early after the New Year — the Clubs can do much to improve the second annual report, which will follow that effort. Results in the St. Joseph Valley demonstrate what can be done, both in total amount and in participation — particularly in the latter — by personal contact. The Association officers ask that the Clubs study this report as the basis for prompt action in the Second Annual Alumni Fund. First aim should be the increasing of participation. Second aim should be the increasing of amounts. In only 18 Clubs did the overage gift equal or exceed the War Bond (S18.75) suggested as the individual goal. And in most of these 18 Clubs, the average was high because of large individual gifts. Many Club members are in service. This should be an added incentive to work toward 100% of those remaining. If your officers or your lists or your program are not in working order, don't wait until the Fund calls on you — get set now.
