I $ DOME ' P Thus closed the Golden Jubilee. In 1905, the Rev. John C. Cavanaugh succeeded Father Morrissey to the presidency. Great steps were made by gracious Father Cavanaugh in advancing the University. It is not given to observers to appreciate the events happening about them; time lends per- spective to events. So it is with the deficiency of the contemporaneous his- torian that our picture of the twenty-five years preceding the Diamond Jubilee year is somewhat inadequate. Many of the buildings erected in the golden age were considerably embellished in the third-quarter span. Walsh Hall, the newest residence, was built in 1909. Five years later, the old postoffice, the grant of Henry Clay in 1851, was torn down to make way for a larger building. Fire partly destroyed the Novitiate a few years ago, but a greater structure has replaced the old one. This year a wonderful Library shines on the campus. We are come to the celebration of the Diamond Jubilee of the University. The work of seventy-five years is to be royally crowned. Preparations have been made for a kingly celebration. But a shadow comes over the plans of the University; the Stars and Stripes have called not a few of our ever- patriotic students. But the glorious exercises of June are not to be dimmed. The spirit of Notre Dame vaults mountain-looming difficulties, and lives on in glowing pictures of her work. 1 I 2S
