the quick-changing days and the infinite years ahead. A stream of steps of young men trained for peace and war, for life and death. Steps on paved walks, gravel, and firm earth, steps of men from every state, men from foreign countries going to and from blocky, hard-brick buildings, round towers, collegiate Gothic, and the open, waiting spaces. They go to classrooms of liberal arts, law, science, commerce, and engineering, come to- gether through a stone door, arching under high bell tones lancet for the Liturgy of Holy Church. They know the work of classroom, library and quiet reading; the Saturdays are theirs, too, the thronging cars and colors and people, and the tense football-feeling. . . . These are the things in their year: silent slant of sun through varied vermillion leaves to earth where water in two lakes quivers and pulses; the loosed lash of winds on long quad- rangles, grey snow from the grey sky, and steady, sliding rain; liquid-air days, and Spring, born again. . . . This is today, and a year of the years. S rfr9 ff i+t , 1942

a long hard day and one hundred years ago. On the midwestern plains, cast now against the coming and going shadows of redmen and traders, the brief foot-tread of men in black robes. Brief footsteps, soft in the snow then firm in the midwestern winter, stopping now by a long, frozen lake. Stopped roots be- neath the snow, and in the heart and hands of the Holy Cross order the founding of Notre Dame du Lac in the November of 1842. . . . Founded, out of the earth of snow and ice and roots deep down, out of the will of men on the plains, out of the desire to bring the teach- ing of man and God to the promise of America. . . . Sprung from trees of the forest, brick of mud from the lake, and four-hundred dollars, the Indians and traders looking on as they pass. Founded ... a plague of cholera, quick tongues of fire and the University is burned back into the earth from which it was raised . . . and raised again: like a flame existing minutely in a large cold room, blowing low, wavering . . . and leaping up again to burn steady and enduring. 5 Gf
