( DOME ) An alert mind is fostered by an alert and conditioned body. For this reason there is a constant effort on the part of the University to keep the student body in good physical condition. This is achieved by the availability of scores of facilities by which the student may obtain his chosen mode of exercise. Supplemented by two years in a physical education course, required of all students, these facilities are part of a well-devised pro- gram for the development of the human body which, like the human intellect, performs with greatest effici- ency when conditioned by exercise. An eighteen-hole golf course, handball courts, basket- ball courts, tennis courts, athletic fields, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and numerous other facilities are always at the disposal of the student for his pleasure, relaxation and physical growth. The culmination of this training is reachehd at commencement exercises in June, symbolized in the Page 18

(DOME) degree which, more than just an equitable reward, is an official approbation of four years lived under the Golden Dome designed to make the recipient a better man, a Christian gentleman in every sense of the word. The University hopes that it has developed the full man, it has presented opportunities and encouraged their realization throughout the years of college life, but the ultimate responsibility lies with the student to fulfill his desire to be a better man. We have worked together, played together, and prayed together. We have been given the ability to know right from wrong, our innate ability to grasp truth has been developed, everything that we have done has been directed by the moral guidance of religion. The lesson of the motto for God, Country, and Notre Dame has been taught; it is up to the individual to live the deeply supernaturalized and intelligent life of the truly whole man. Page 20
