The Alumni Association University of IVotre Dame
702 Fidelity-Philadelphia Trust Bldg. John H. Neeson, Jr. Philadelphia, Penn. Dear Fellow Alumnus: March 10, 1953
As the new President of your Alumni Association, may I extend my best wishes to all of you. Also may I pledge my best efforts to represent your Association and the University in those matters which require my attention during the current year.
I would ask you to join with me in a general program or theme for the year, that is, to intensify our efforts in enhancing and publicizing the prestige of the University of Notre Dame. In gratitude for the privilege of being known as one of her sons and in part-payment for the many benefits received from the University, we must all consider our selves instruments to further educate the general public in the academic and cultural achievements of Our Lady's University.
There have been many things accomplished and there are numerous prestige-promoting items concerning our Alma Mater which many of us, to say nothing of the public in general, are unaware, or forget, such as the fact that our Law School is the oldest Catholic Law School in the country. "The first courses were taught in 1869.
By means of these letters in the Alumnus, I hope to bring such items to your attention so that eventually you may hove these facts at your fingertips for presentation in your conversations and to the public whenever possible.
May I ask that you renew your allegiance, so to speak, and work to tell more people more about your great University. Sincerely,

18 The Notre Dame Alumnus Chicago TTic Notre Dame Club of Chicago was quite pleased and honored whcit Father Edmund P. Joyce, Executive Vice-President of the University*, spoke at our Annual Communion Breakfast Dec 7. About HO Ahimni attended the 10 o'clock Mass at Old St. Mary's Church. Breakfast followed at the Blackstone Hotel. Father Joyce spoke of some of the intentions of the University in regard to the future of telc%'ision as a means of com munication and its potential use as an educational medium. He also stated some of his interesting \-iews in regard to the NCi\f\ and their treatment of the televising of football games. A novel idea, embodying cooperation with an old and respected rix'al (in athletics) was put into practice with notable results by the Chicago Club in December, ^^orking with rcprcs-nlatives of Xorth^vestern University, the club prepared and mailed out applications for tickets for the annual N.U.-X.D. New Year's eve basketball donnybrook. An entire section of scats was set aside for Irish rooters. I'm told that around 500 of the faithful turned out to sec another ND victory over the Wildcats. Much cheering, and e%'cn Xorthwcstcm was consoled by the financial returns of the ticket tactic — for which they promptly sent sincere thanks. The incident is recorded here in the thought that other clubs, located where ND is visiting team for a sports event, might follow somewhat the same pattern with the home school. •We're well on our way into a new year, and let's take a look at some of its first events, and some of those scheduled for the near future. On February 14 the Chicago Club held its second Scholarship Fund party at the Casino Club, 195 E. Delaware. TIic party ran from 5 to 8 p.in,, and the cost was 510 a couple, while the Pump Room orchestra provided the music. Proceeds of the party will go toward the Scholarship Fund. The party was patterned after the first Scliolar- ship Fund gala held October 4 at the Blackstone. But what is imquestionably true is that the ca Officers and directors of the Notre Dame Club of Harrlsburcr, Pa-, b'ne up behind the pacity of the Blackstone was net strained by the speaker's table at their recent Communion Breakfast.

It was merely tliat the club ofTicers had such high hopes for this one. In view of the worthy cause, that it was some%vhat disappointing. Considered by itself, it was a ic- warding get-together. I asked President Luke Ticrnan to supply me with a list of the guests when I reported on tlic party In the last issue of the ALUMNUS, so the names given were from his quick recollections (I didn't really give him enough time to come up with a good list.) What struck me at the time was the representation of all parts of the city and a wide range of graduating classes among those present. It's been some months now, so this will necessarily be a sketchy list, but here are a few names to support my claim: North Side: Mr. and Mrs. Luke "ncman, *37, John 0'Shaughncss>-, '33, and Mark Mitchell, '39j ^Vest Side: ^Ir. and Mrs. Gil Seaman, '37, Ed Hoban, '48, Ray Durst, '26, and us McCabes; near North Side: the Emmett O'Neills, '48; South Side. Mr. and Mrs. Justin OToole, '36, and a Dumber of others. Including at one table the Frank Hetreeds, '30, and John Goldens, '30, and otliers in that party whose names and faces I have forgotten. Also of couri^e, the hard-working chairrnen and their wives, Prial Curran, *37, and Tom Brennan, MO. Tlie reason I name these people, from all sections of the city, is to use them as examples—If these club members could find energ>- to drive in to the Blackstone, why couldn't others all over Chicago make a similar effort?

March-April, 195S 19 Cincinnati The annual Christmas dance wa^ lield in tlie Hall of Mirrors in the NVthcrland Plaza Hotel on December 26, 1952. Tlic dance is held annually for the benefit of the Club's scliolarship fund, and is a surc-Hre hi' cacit year. 1952 was no exception. Probably one reason for the financial and soria? success of the dance was the planning and hard work of the committee chainnen: John Fcad, '48. and John Brodberger, Jr., '40. scncral ct>-chair- mcn; Ra>inond Gudmens, '47, and Bob Bomkamp, reserx'ations; and Ed Mersman, Jr., '46, patrons. Tlie dance, attended by many friends of Notre Dame in Cincinnati as well as alumni and stu dents, raised a substantial amount of money toward the scholarship fund. The Club is now supporting two four-year scholarships for students presently attending the University. The program featured a cocktail party for a large number of patrons before the dance as well as a floor show during the dance itself. Tlie Annual Meeting of the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce was held at the Hotel Sheraton- Gibson on January* 14. 1953. Tlie featured speaker was Clarence E. **Pat** Manion, formerly dean of the law sctiool. Dean Manion gave a very stirring talk on the challenge facing the new presidential administration.
