ARKED WITH a success that exceeded the most optimistic hopes, the 1925 Universal Notre Dame Night has passed into the history of events at Notre Dame with a M record that years cannot forget. The observance of The Night toas universal. Over sixty-five groups throughout the country, in South America, Italy and the Philip­ pines, assembled, held their meetings in a way best suited to their own situation, took action on the policies proposed and effected a more intense interest and co-operation among the men of former years that has already brought valuable results to the University. Apart from the Notre Dame men who set aside the evening of April 22nd for the renewal of old college friendships, the establishment of new contacts and to pay tribute to Alma Mater, thousands 'listened in' on the radio program broadcast from Chicago through the courtesy of the Chicago Tribune station WGN. After the Glee Club sang the Victory March, the Rev. James A. Burns, C. S. C, President Emeritus, spoke on the academic progress of the University, outlining the scholastic growth at Notre Dame in recent years. His address is reprinted in this issue. Knute Rockne's talk on college athletics, inter-collegiate competition and general sportsmanship was characteristically pointed. Rockne's talk came through the air exceptionally clear, according to all re­ ports. The Glee Club gave its program in fine style and as Notre Dame 'signed off', telegrams from many of the clubs were received by the station. The majority of clubs were able to get the program and this phase of the observance was an acknowledged success. The outstanding feature of the Night, however, was the sponsoring of scholarships for deserving boys at Notre Dame. Fourteen clubs established scholarships at the University for deserving boys, regardless of religious creed. This movement among the alumni is a remarkable indication of tha balanced interest in the University. The organization of new alumni clubs is the other noteworthy action of the alumni on the 22nd of April. Fourteen new clubs have been welcomed into the ever-increasing group. A gro^vth from about ten questionably active clubs in 1922 to forty-three well- organized, functioning clubs in 1925 is a certain sign of alumni progress. The activity of the established clubs can best be understood by a reading of the reports offered in this issue. We regret that some of the secretaries have failed to send in the reports in time for publication in this delayed number. We have assurance that they met and we know that the same spirit manifested in other centers was typical of the gatherings not listed in the following pages.

Some of the leaders of American literature are behind it. Notre Dame men are editing it.

Father Cavanaugh says of PAN: "If a word from an Ancient to whom neither Youth nor Poetry is left may be heard, let me say that this Christian PAN is destined to make woods and streams and quiet walks and the little corners that hold books, musical and sweet-smelling again. Genius and adolescence are always beautiful taken singly. Combined, as they are in PAN, they are irresistible."

The Scholastic Says: "It is with a good deal of local pride that The Scholastic de­ clares that never before has a more interesting and brilliant pub­ lication appeared at any university in America than PAN: Poeti-y and Youth."
