Reverend Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., President of the University of Notre Dame The President The Reverend Theodore M. Hesburgh C.S.C. has com- pleted his third year as President of Notre Dame, suc- cessfully guiding the University in one of the greatest years of academic and physical expansion in the school ' s history. Father Hesburgh has not limited himself to problems of administration alone, however. He is well known as a most entertaining speaker, and an able writer. He is the author of several books : God and the World of Man Theology of Catholic Action, and Letters to Service- women, as well as numerous pamphlets. In the past year, President Eisenhower appointed Father Hesburgh to a six year term on the National Science Board. Father is also a board member of such organizations as the Nutrition Foundation, the Free- doms Foundation, the Institute of International Educa- tion, and the Foundation for Religious Action in the Social and Civic Order, and is a member of many other distinguished organizations, such as the Ford Motor Scholarship Board. Several innovations have been instituted by Father Hesburgh in an effort ever to increase the academic prestige of the University. Included among these are the new program instituted in the Arts and Letters College, and the Distinguished Professor ' s Program, which, through the underwriting of various corpora- tions, the University hopes will add forty-five eminent scholars to the faculty. 24
