Our future collegiates, nurses, technicians, and chemists trudged up the hill to higher education shouldering the hidden mysteries of mathematics, science, and those incomparable foreign languages. Future success will undoubtedly prove that all their striving was not in vain. Having delved so minutely into the Articles of the Constitution, we have even composed our own Preamble to the National Problems book: We, the seniors of Notre Dame, in order to form more perfect minds, acquaint ourselves with the problems of today, discuss our different opinions, prepare ourselves for our future as citizens of the United States, do take a course in National Prob' lems for the betterment of ourselves and our country. 3, 19, 203-a locker combination?
