Occasionally it is forgotten that the Reverend Theodore M. Hes- burgh, C.S.C., world renowned government advisor, diplomat, and educator, is best known as the sixteenth President of the University of Notre Dame. As the class of 1964 joins the Alumni family in the twelfth year of his term, he is remembered primar- ily for what his presence here has meant to that class and to Notre Dame. New buildings testify to his faith in the future of Catholic education; new rules indicate his confidence in the Notre Dame man. And, surviving skirmishes with zealous authors and reformers, he enjoys the respect and admiration of the student community. Ultimately, his relationship to the student is best symbolized by two duties of his office, his favorite and his most sorrowful: no dance weekend is complete without his gracious wit in crowning the queen; no duty presses so heavy as the funeral of a student. For the Notre Dame family, Father Hes- burgh remains an intrinsic part of their pride in Notre Dame. 18
