SCIENCE PHYSICS AND MATH Physics and Mathematics are science at its most abstract. The mathematician studies the rules that govern nature, with little regard for any practical application. The tools he develops and employs are useful in ordering nature so as to understand it, but this step does not concern the purist. He is satisfied with pursuing the truth among his rules and symbols. The physicist is more concerned with practical appli- cation. Some of the greatest advances in theoretical physics have been the discovery that mathematical con- cepts do indeed describe the world we see. From New- ton to Einstein the two have been almost inseparable. Physics also is fundamental to engineering, and so the department instructs students of many majors. 28

AN EMPTY FRAME, WAITING TO BE FILLED Father Hesburgh ' s description of the proud Memorial Library towering above the Indiana flatlands fittingly communicates the potential sensed in every aspect of the University, particularly within the academic realm. Just as the epic mural of Christ the Teacher will complete the exterior, and the books will gradu- ally fill the empty stacks, the studies and programs served by this ample facility promise to expand and flourish into commanding scholastic leadership. Never before was the audacious claim of academic excellence more plausible. The most immediate effect of the library ' s operation has been an astonishing en- thusiasm for concentrated study in its efficient and comfortable environment. Before finals, there was not a Danish modern chair nor a mahogany carrel to be found unoccupied; three times the traffic imposed on the old library streamed through the stainless steel turnstiles, to the delight of faculty, donors, and even employees. The professors in their basement offices, surmounted by thirteen stories of research materials, with the conveniences of telephone dictation and at- tractive receptionists, were fairly ecstatic in the op- portunities presented for serious study and for satisfy- ing communication with their students. Indeed, the mere physical presence of the imposing new structure seemed to alter the entire academic atmosphere. Still other less tangible elements of the academic picture reached new levels of achievement, among them the fledgling Freshman Year of Studies with its new Innsbruck Program, the AB Advisory Board, and the many-faceted Graduate School. Each contributed with new poise, new enthusiasm, new approaches, to the attainment of new heights and new insights all to the betterment of the basic product of the University of Notre Dame the educated man. 27
