DEAR SIR: A couple of friends and I were pass­ ing through the cafeteria last week when we were attracted hy a wonderfully musty old odor, and f ollo%\ing the scent, A GIFT our noses led us to that department of the cafeteria known as the "Magazine Eack." We had a delightful time poring from over the faces of the venerable stock and for a moment we could not perceive any her fdvorite change in its face since the last time we noted it—^that was just six years ago, in the fall of 1940.

store But after a more studied search-we became aware of two new additions: a magazine called the Atom and another means more! called Photography. We managed to stomach the pamphlet called Atom be­ cause, although it tended to be of a "pro­ gressive" nature, it seemed to be of suf­ ficiently little interest to the body of students and instructors on the whole that in time it might become a Avork to be "revered"; when someone po'nted out that it had been in tho stacks for nearly tt/^fHUtis a year now, we accepted it immediately to the fold.

But Photography Magazine remained a bitter shock; for, while it is not really a good magazine it is nonetheless a sale­ able piece and as such not only is the tradition (so very important) of the "magazine rack" disi'upted, but the con­ tinual fumbling about of the sales lady as she reaches for an occasional copy Avill knock or dishevel some of the dust 19 Troins Daily to CHICAGO of antiquity that has gathered during the past years.

Father O'Donnell pointed out, how­ ever, that there is no reason to despair or think that all is lost. "Personally, I have great confidence in the large num­ ber of Catholics and non-Catholics who still believe in God and the Moral Law," he added. "They constitute the leaven of the masses, and it is this leaven which can readily form a 'new paste,' to use the sci-iptural expression. They serve as a base for a spiritual regeneration." "Hence, there is still hope, and that hope may be further strengthened if we but have recourse to Mary, the Mother of God, Queen of this nation. Queen of all nations, Queen of Peace. On bended knee, we ask thee, O Mary, to have com­ passion on a war-sick, weary, confused world. We are willing to undergo our daily Calvary, if you will but tap for us the eternal well-spring of Redemption and let flow the rivulets of grace on your sons and daughters who have forgotten their Creator and Redeemer, the true source of all help and strength."

The cooperation displayed by the club on the campus and the club in the city has set a pattern for Notre Dame alumni-student relations.

In 1841, on the Feast of St. Michael, four young girls knelt joyfully in the chapel of the Salvatorists of the Holy Cross and became the first Sisters of the infant congregation. In July 1843, Fa­ ther Edward Sorin, C.S.C., who from the. The Sisters ct Common Prayer in Chapel of Holy Family. time of his arrival in America had kept begging the mother house to send Sisters to his new settlement at Notre Dame, welcomed Sisters Calvary, Bethlehem, Nazareth and Mary of the Sacred Heart. The loft of the little log chapel which the Brothel's had built in addition to Fa­ ther Badin's chapel a year before was to be their home. In this small room with only one window they dwelt happily for two years with their Lady Poverty. On on 3 side of the tiny sanctuary was an al­ cove from which they heard Mass and received Holy Cominunion.

Brother Timothy brought their meals from an outside kitchen, though some­ times there was very little to eat. .But when cold and hungry, the Sisters were cheei'ed by the thought of their father founder across the sea who used no bed, had no fire in his room, fasted thi'ee times a week, and lived as a penitent.

Postulants soon came to join the Sis­ ters. Father Sorin began to see the im­ perative need of a novitiate at Notre Dame. He laid his plan before Bishop Hailandiere of Vincennes who rejected the proposal as impractical at the time. The Sisters of Providence had estab­ lished themselves a few years before in his frontier diocese and he could not en­ vision how a poor and scattered Catholic population could support two communi­ ties. The unfolding years were to an­ swer this question in a glorious affirma­ tive.

Father Sorin's problem found a solu­ tion in the small village of Bertrand, six miles from Notre Dame. It was located in Bishop Lefebre's diocese, then the dio­ cese of Detroit, and he gave his approval gladly to Father Sorin. So in the Sep­ tember of 1844 Father Sorin performed the ceremony in St. Joseph's Cliurch in ten Sisters were sent to Bengal, India, The first Sisters to arrive ct Notre Bertrand which marked the first time a at the request of the Sacred Congrega­ Dame were all French and their names Holy Cross habit was conferred on Sis­ tion of the Propaganda in Eome.

The second catalog published in 18t0 showed a roll of 60 students and 13 young theologi­ ans. The school's expansion was acceler­ ated further by the fact that in 1851 the Northem Indiana and Southern Michi­ gan Eailroad was completed through South Bend to Chicago. That year also by interposition of Henry Clay, Notre Dame acquii-ed its own post-office. The Sisters were of service every- Avhere. The school took on a more cheer­ ful atmosphere since the Sisters tried to recreate some of the comforts of home. The students found their clothes whiter; the curtains that hung in the dormitory were as spotless as snow. Sacristy, clothes-i-oom, dairy, and laundry—every department began to show their care. They glorified their humble tasks of Avashing, ironing, mending, and cleaning by the high purpose in their hearts. They did the washing in a rickety old shed built on the edge of the lake to facilitate the rinsing of clothes. An early alumnus of Notre Dame, the Eeverend Dr. Kilroy, gives this pleasing reminiscence: "Many a time on a windy day, I heard the mel­ ody of fervent Hail Marys alternate Avith the splashing of running waters and the murmur of the lake." It was not until 1875 that two Sisters were sent to Chi­ cago to tour through institutions to study mechanical developments in the art of laundering clothes.

In 1853, after some experimentation, the Sisters adopted their present Holy Cross habit. That same year, the noviti­ ate was transferred from Bertrand to Notre Dame where the Sisters were cloistered until the Academy of St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception could be prepared for them a mile t9 the west above the banks of the St. Joseph's river. But in 1872, at the special request of Father Sorin, the novitiate was again erected at Notre Dame, for postulants destined principally for manual work.

Gradually the Sisters became repre­ sented in more departments at Notre Notre Dame. In 1873, ten Sisters took lessons- in printing under the direction of Brother Stanislaus as well as in. stitching and folding of magazines for The Ave Maria. Up to 1877 the Sisters cooked for the community and the stu­ dents in the basement of the old church until the "new kitchen" was built at the extreme south end of the old Ave Maria Building. The Community of Sisters now grew to such proportions that in 1889 M second was Mother Praxides, Father ern Kentucky, applied to the Sisters of various culinary feats the kind Sisters Zahni's sister.

The Sisters have been represented 'at the Infirmary ever since their arrival. To­ day, under the supervision of Sisters Lea James, Agnesina, Michaela, Ludgeria and others the infirmaries at Notre Dame rank with the most efficient in the country. Two outstanding Sisters who served in the old Infirmary were Sisters Bethlehem and Ce­ cilia.

Prof. Sheehon Speaks at Roundtable Meet The Economic Roundtable Club, meet­ ing in the Ramble Inn last week, had as its guest speaker Mr. John H. Sheehan, head of the Notre Dame Department of Economics. At the meeting, presided over by Fred Funk, Roundtable secretary, seven new men were officially welcomed into the club. As usual, a dinner preced­ ed the business meeting and the delivery of the talk. Mr. Sheehan chose to speak to the club "About Organizations" and made some constructive remarks concerning the conduct, purpose and high ideals of campus clubs such as the Economics Roundtable. Most of his talk was devoted to the selection of topics for papers and the preparation of these papers. At the weekly meetings of the Roundtable one of the members delivers a paper to the club. Mr. Shehan also dealt at length on the types of books and periodicals which club members should be ^reading to keep abreast of authoritative thought in current interest fields. He concluded his talk by paraphrasing the late Rev. Charles O'Donnell, C.S.C, former president of the University, by advising members to regard, their posi­ tion in the Roundtable as an opportunity to be a "go-giver" rather than a "go- The Grotto, Center of May Devotions to Our Lady. getter." 14 56 Latin-Americans ama City, with one each from Colon and David.

Her name is naturally ARROWS tvithheld as a confidence.) Notre Dame men are what we "Eock" women sometimes marry. They have two hands, two feet, and sometimes two ears, but never more than one dollar or one idea at the same time. Like Turkish cigarettes, these ND men m TK COMin... MKMMMI | MMMMON are all made out of the same material: the only difference is that some are bet­ ter disguised than others. Generally speaking, the men of ND may be divided into three main classes: husbands, bachelors, and widowers. A bachelor is a negligible mass of obstin­ acy entirely surrounded by suspicion. He claims he got this way through close association with our school, where he claims the pass-word is no. On the other hand, husbands are of three tj^pes: prizes, surprises, and consolation .prizes. Making a husband out of a man is one of the highest forms of plastic art known to civilization. It requires scieiice, sculpture, common sense, faith, hope and charity. Mostly charity. - " If you flatter a Notre Dame man you frighten him to death. If you don't, then you bore him. If you permit him to hold your hand as you walk, he gets tired of you in the beginning.
