And they called it the University of Notre Dame du Lac. One hundred and twenty-five years after Father Edward Sorin and six brothers of Holy Cross put up the first building of what they pretentiously called the University of Notre Dame du Lac, that university stands on the threshold of greatness. That time, short in comparison to the lifespan of the greatest universities, has witnessed the trans- formation of a fourth-rate, provincial college into a well-respected, well-known university. That Notre Dame has grown and matured in 125 years is obvious. Gone is the library which con- tained only 250,000 volumes; in its place is one of the largest college library buildings in the world. Gone is the time when academics were an exciting but unintellectual blend of Thomism and the split T ; in its place is a graduate school with 24 dif- ferent Ph.D. programs. Gone are 10 o ' clock curfews and compulsory mass attendance; in its place are the Honor Concept and student judiciary boards. Notre Dame, after a long courtship, has entered the contemporary world. Notre Dame ' s national founding could well be dated as a Saturday afternoon in the late autumn of 1913. On that day, two men Knute Rockne and Gus Dorais brought Notre Dame to national prom- inence with a new maneuver, the forward pass, in the upset victory over Army ' s football team. Rockne returned to his alma mater as head coach in 1918, and from that year until his death in a plane crash in 1931, established the charisma of Notre Dame football. Under Rockne, football be- came big business; it brought national recognition and, for the first time, a ready source of outside income. But football alone continued to characterize Notre Dame for three decades after Rockne.
