1954 The yearbook is published at the end of the school year. Most people glance through it, take it home, and then file it on some closet shelf to gather dust for years. Usually though, there comes a day when the four volumes are taken down and read more carefully than the first time. This is when your yearbook really begins to mean something to you. In your Domes are the friends and the teachers that you have lived with at Notre Dame. Besides this, the things that happened during each of your years at the University are recorded here lectures, dances, ball games, elections and all the other things. They happen every year, but even though they do they are special to you because you were here and the people who took part were your friends. The University, your alma mater, has done much during these years and you have had your part in them. Achievements there are many kinds: educational, athletic, spiritual . . . The editors of the 1954 Dome have tried to record those achievements for you with photographs and articles, for the future.

Reverend Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., President of the University of Notre Dame. President Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., has finished the second year of his presidency at Notre Dame. He is the sixteenth in the long line of successors to Father Sorin who founded the University one hundred and twelve years ago. Father Hesburgh came to Notre Dame in 1945 after serving during the war as an army chaplain. He became a familiar figure on campus in the years afterward while he served as rector of Farley Hall and head of the Department of Religion. He has written several books and pamphlets including a religion text that is widely used throughout the country. His entrance into University administration came in 1949 when he was appointed executive vice president. Working closely with Rev. John J. Cavanaugh, C.S.C., he became intimately connected with the University development program and during his admin- istration the University has continued to expand its facilities and work for higher academic standards. Since his term of office began two years ago, Notre Dame has received about three and a half million dollars in gifts, completed three buildings, received funds for another, and inaugurated a program to secure distinguished professors for the faculty and to increase the salaries of present teachers.
