Co-education has arrived, but that school spirit is still overwhelmingly powerful. The University is fairly well administered, at least as well as most schools are ever administered. Com- petition for admission, endowment and programs are all growing. Notre Dame students seem to enjoy themselves. Notre Dame is still fairly small, as American universities go to- day, and it is so by choice. It is still personal. Ifyou go to the Dome about midnight and see the lights on in the front east office on the second floor, knock until the custodian lets you in. You can then see Father Hesburgh without an appointment.

If they cannot be produced we may be reasonably certain that imagination does not play as prominent a role in the policy of the institution as it ought, and we can be further reasonably certain that its emphasis are upon the orthodoxies of knowledge rather than upon the spirit of free inquiry? -Ashley Montague This page sponsored by Notre Dame, Indiana, is a well Iaid-out community of about ten thousand persons. It is beautifully decorated with sycamore and flr.

The Library was the largest collegiate li- brary building in America when it was con- structed. Incredibly, it does not dominate the campus. The Golden Dome does. The Dome symbolizes the University. Most prob- ably, it always will. The Notre Dame Law Association
