A Show-down Is Called for!

IGHT here and now we are going to lay ou r cards before you ... and after you see what we ha ve, >ve are going to request a "s how-down" from you. low is th e time when we mu st face th e facts. You with whom we chat each month in this magazine are the University of Dayton men and women who should make the wheels of the Alumni Association go round. You are the ones, therefore, who should face our problems and plan for meeting them. The financial report, printed herewith, indicates to you that the Alumni Association has been " taking it on the chin" during the last fou r years- sa id "ch in" being, in more clear term s, the exchequer. Losses can be sustained just so long, and then something drastic has to be done. It has been done. The salary of the sec reta ry has been cut. The cost of publishing the alumni magazine has been substantially lowered. Econ omies ha ve been adopted in the alumni office and alumni activities which are calc ula ted to run the Assoc iation at the lowes t possible expense without sacrificing its effectiveness . But to operate without loss is the probl em. The annual deficits have been heavy burdens on the ni versity of Dayton and the Soc iety of Mary and at the Septemb.er 23 , 1932, meeting of the Alumni Board of Directors we were informed by a uthoriti es, both local and provincial, that the "experiment" had gone fa r enough. H ence, the show-down. Yes! It is true th a t ou r alumni acti vity und er th e present modern set-up dates back only to J a nuary, 1929. It is also tru e that we unfortunatel y bumped into the famous depress ion of 1929, which, no doubt, ha s retarded our progress immensely . On the other hand, it is also true that our usefulne ss as a n Association has been greatly multiplied during the

past y ears. It is with pleasurable results th a t the alumni offi ce lends itself as a ce nter of coll eo-e inte rests. Trul y the money spent by the Alumni Association was well spent and brought returns to the ni ve rsity directl y or in-

H owever , our onl y concern now is to pull our Association throu gh thi s c ri sis a nd to solve that stupendous task of making our Association fin anciall y selfsupporti ng for this yea r. First of all- Is an Alumni Association, such as ours, essential and necessa ry? Other coll eges a nd uni ve rsiti es have a nswered thi s with an emphatic "Y ES". Our ow n ni vers ity of D ayton agreed on thi s point-whe n it offered to help finan ce the Association for a few years until it beca me selfsupporting. Secondly-Can the Associati on b e fin a nced by the alumni ? Associations o f oth er colleges and uni ve!"s ities are being success full y fin a nced by their al umni a nd our own Assoc iati on ca n be placed on a sound financial basis, if we ca n average $5 per year from onl y 1000 of our U of D Alumni. Is that imposs ible ? We rea li ze that money is not everything, but it is quite importa nt. We a lso rea lize that man y alumni are out of work. We further realize that there are at least 1000 ni ve rsity o f Dayton Alumni who can afford to give lOc a week for the good of their Alma Mater -and that they will give if theYJ once grasp the spirit of the whole.

these honest state ments that are honest in their intent a nd their content sufficient to move 1000 o f D aytonia ns to make a modest d onation to your col lege through our Alumni Fund ? If you th oughtfull y read them with confidence in th eir honesty a nd accuracy, they should suffice.

Rev. W. C. Tred tin Is New University of Dayton President Father O'Reilly Becomes Director of Alumni and Extension Activities and Regent of Law School HE University of D ayton Alumni are interested in the changes that have taken place in the Un iversity and expect them to result in continued progress. The change brings an alumnus of the · University to the presidency. It is also pleasing information to know that the retiring president will remain with the University which he has served so faithfully and with marked success. Following the annual retreat held this summer at the University, Very Rev. Joseph A. Tetzlaff, S.M., provincial of the Society of Mary in the Cincinnati province, announced the appointment of Rev. Wa lter C. Tred-

VERY REV. BERNARD

O ' REILLY,

S.M.

tin, S.M., native Daytonian and alumnus of the University of Dayton, as president of the University of Dayton to succeed Very Rev. Bernard P. O'Reilly, S.M., who has been president since 1923. Father Tredtin has been president of Trinity Coll ege at Sioux City, Iowa, being the first president there since that institution was taken over by the Society of Mary. Father O'Reilly will remain at the University of Dayton as director of alumni and extension activities and regent of the law college. Father Tredtin was educated in Dayton in the elementa ry schools, and was graduated from the University of Dayton preparatory·school and the University itself. He continued his studies at the University of Fribourg,, where he was ordained to the priesthood. He celebrated his first mass at Holy Angels church in Dayton. Father Tredtin was a professor at the University of Dayton for several years . He also taught at LaSalle, Illinois; Chicago, Illinois ; Beacon, New York, and at Cathedral Latin in Cleveland. As superior at Mount St. John Normal School, he served from August, 1923, until May, 1930, when he was commiss ioned to negotiate with the Franciscan Fathers at Trinity Junior College, Sioux City, Iowa, for the transfer of college property and right to the Society of Mary. During the short space of two yea rs that he was president of Trinity College at Sioux City, I owa, Father Tredtin · developed the junior college through

all phases of a four-year college and last June conferred on seven graduates the bachelor's degree. Father O'Reilly has twice been president of the University of Dayton. He held this office from 1908 to 1918 and aga in from 1923 until the present time. He was born in Rochester, New York, entering the Society of Mary as a junior candidate when he was sixteen. In 1903 , Father O'Reilly was ordained to the priesthood at Paris, France, after having completed his studies in the seminary at St. Mary College, Besancon, France. He was afterwards a professor of English at St. Charles College, St. Brienc, France. He completed

his theological studies at the Seminary of the Society of Mary in Paris, France. Father O'Reilly was professor at the University of Dayton from 1903, after returning from Europe until 1906, when he wa s named as vice president. He held this office until 1908, when he became presi dent of the University of Dayton, then known as St. Mary College. Father O'Reilly became provincial of the Society of Mary in the Cincinnati province in 1918, where he remained until 1923, when he again returned as president of the University of Dayton. He then held the office of president for nine years, which is most unusual. Th e usual term of office is three years, with a possible second term, which was granted him by his superiors. Then a special indul t from the Holy See at Rome was obtained when he began hi s third three-year term, which he has now completed. During th e time Father O'Reilly has been president at the niversitr, phenomenal growth has been enjoyed. H e has been responsible for the erection of the new buildings on the university campus. The unusual growth in enrollment has resulted from his efforts also. From 1908, when he became president of the University, until today the college enrollment has increased over 450 per cent. A student body of over 600 at Chaminade High School in Dayton is also the outgrowth of the preparatory and high school department at the University. The only buildings used by the University in 1908 were St. Mary Hall, Chaminade Hall, and the old gymnasium. The buildings to the south of the University Chapel were used by the normal school of the Society of Mary. Progress was made and in 1910, the noviatiate was moved to Mount St. John, leaving St. J oseph's Hall to be remodelled to provide private rooms for resident stu dents . The juniorate and scholasticate were remo,路ed from th e campus in 191 6, leaving Nazareth Hall and Zebler H all for the use of the growing University. Father O'R eill y. as provincial of the Society of fary in 1920 inaugurated the campaign for funds to erect a dormitory building,A iumni Hall which was completed in 1924. The stadium was next to be erected, bein g completed in 1925 . In 1928 the Albert Emanuel Libra ry, a gi ft of Victor Emanuel, was comp leted at the University. The extensive expansion program

which the University of Dayton is in need of at this time in order to develop various departments already existing and others contemplated will be given attention by Father O'Reilly. He wi ll devote the greater part of his time to the realization of these plans. His long association as professor, president, provincial and again as president of the University of Dayton will enable Father O'Reilly to reach all alumni and friends and to interest them in the promotion of a greater University. The Law School, established in 1922, was one of the special projects in which Father O'Reilly showed untiring interest. The night College of Law was established in 1922 and the day College of Law in 1930. He has been responsible for the establishment of a fine Law Library at the University of Dayton. Following his appointment, Father Tredtin said: " For the past nineteen years, under Father O'Reilly, its builder-leader, th e l niversity of Da yton has pl aced first things first. It shall continue to do so. "1, as new presid ent of th e Univers ity of Dayton , account myself very fortunate to have Father O'Reilly on the campus. His inspiration and experience will be a guarantee of a moreserviceable and more efficient U nivers ity." Rev. Walter C. Tredtin, S.M., our new president, has made an excellent reputation and enjoyed outstanding success in the work to which he has dedicated his life. His promotions were rapid, culminating in the presid ency of Trinity College at Sioux City, Iowa , which he left to fill the presidency of the University of Dayton. He succeeds one of the most popular and loved chief executives the University has ever had in the person of the Very Rev. Bernard P .. O'Reill y, S. 1., und er wh os e admini strati on ou r l iniversitr has become one of th e prominent educational institutions of the tate.

Th e retention of Father O'Reilly as director of extension and alumni acti viti es and regent of the Law School is gratifying to all th e alumni and to th e thousands who have come to know him as a lea ding educa tor. an exen11pl ar citizen, and a loy al friend. -uof o -

UNIVERSITY OF DA YTO

The College and the Alumni ODAY the picture of the modern college and its alumni, as compared to that of the old college and its graduates, is so different that it is difficult to discern the new as being an outgrowth of the old. From a position that was sequestered from the world, the college of today has swung into line with national progress. What is being done in the college laboratories and classrooms is of practical use to the nation and has intellectual significance as compared to the lack of public interest in educational work in the halcyon days of the American college. College registration has increased with amazing rapidity. College faculty members are consequently effecting a greater influence and are being called upon more to counsel in the business and industrial and intellectual life of the country. The form of the old traditional classical education has developed steadily into an approach to what our many-sided modem life demands. Collegiate sports are no longer inconspicuous, but th ey have become today great intercollegiate tournaments, great, clean exhibitions that are demanded by the public and are treated in detail in the daily papers. The alumni of the college have been organized, in associations, in clubs and classes, in moral and financial support of the college and th ey come back to the old school for the games, commencement, and reunions. The alumni are thinking, talking, and workin g daily, consciously or unconsciously, as representative agents for their college. All of this leads to the consideration of what constitutes the modern college. Of what does a university or college of today consist? · In analyzing and diagnosing the setup of today's college we .come to the realization that the colleges must have boards of control. These boar~ of trustees, depending upon the type of educational institution, are created by the state or by the particular religious denomination or by the particular per-

ALUMNUS

son or persons who happened to establish the institution. All such boards have their strength and their weaknesses. Boards appointed by the state usually have a political weakness . Those created by a religious denomina tion are subj·ect to the possibility of a predetermined dogma. A selfish purpose endangers the boards of private institutions. But in all of the Boards there is strength, for without them it would not be possible to have our educational institutions. A constituent part of the college is the faculty who in many instances represent extreme sacrifice for the furtherance of the cause of education and for the benefit of the nation and posterity. Of course, there is the student body, which is a crowd of American youths who come to college for a vari·e ty of purposes. They must listen to the faculty and try to profit by the lectures, counsel and direction. Finally, comes the alumni association, which is an organized cooperative body with a view to the advancement of the whole. In the United States there are approximately six hundred or more colleges and universities and many other institutions of academic tradition sufficiently prominent to class them as educational. Practically every one of them has an organization of graduates which functions more rather than less actively. Associating a faculty and a student body with a college education is very clear, but what is the purpose of the alumni association? Being considered a constituent part of the college, it would be absurd to say that the association's purpose was simply social, although the social side plays a great part. The smokers, dinners, and dances are of relative importance, . because they offer a means for the alumni to gather together-for a mingling of the old and the new . . . The purpose of an alumni association is not only social, but it is also financial, political, athletic, educational, sentimental, and historical. There is a financial purpose which is part of the duty of the alumni. The purpose is to aid their college financially and to maintain their organization. It would be interesting to know the exact amount of money that the alumni have given or have secured for the colleges in this country. It no doubt would be a surprisingly large amount. Some few statistics are available, however. Figures show that forty-eigh't educational institutions, excluding Har-

Page 5

vard, Yale, and Princeton, whose alumni we know are very generous givers to their alma maters, have received from their alumni over a fiveyear period the enormous amount of $101 ,860,058.00. Each and every small college and university in the country has been the recipient of gifts, donati ons, legacies, or buildings, large or small , from the alumni. It is, how.ever, .. equall y true that nowhere during the present economic illness is alumni support as generous as in the past, qor is it now carried to its fullest logical development. Alumni support is a force that is still finding itself. The financial support of the alumni to the colleges and even to the alumni associations has dropped off considerabl y during the past few years, due to the worldwide economic and financial upheaval. Alumni support in these times has reached a plateau where it is forced to rest, but with the return to normal conditions it will carry on, reaching higher peaks. There is a political purpose, especially for the alumni associations of the state institutions. The duty of the alumni also enters into the realm of 1thletics. The alumni association should boost the athletic program of the college so that in all ways athletics will be on a sound financial basis for the benefit of the school and the athletes. This can be done and is done not only by attending and cheering at the individual athletic contests, but also by being an advocate of clean sport and stimulating interest in the contests. Yes, there is an educational purpose. The alumni should promulgate the truths imparted to them at their colleges. And there is a possibility that the institution should continue to educate its alumni through the alumni association. Is the purpose sentimental? It is partially. Sentiment is a great factor in keeping together the alumni association of a college. The purpose of the alumni as~ociation is also, partially, historical. Forming a part of the historical background of the educational institution is the alumni association and its records. • But after all this analyzing the main purpose of an alumni association is more than each of these-it is actually a combination of all. Through all of these purposes or functions the alumni associations of the various colleges and universities seek to benefit and they are aiding the educational institutions so that their search for the truth may be unceasing and that the ideals of th ese educational institutions may be fulfilled.

An Unexplored World

HE explorations of Stanley and Livingstone in the Dark Continent led to a mad scramble for empire on the part of the European countries in the last quarter of the nineteenth century . Since that time, Africa has been explored and exploited ; other countries, considered as backward by the so-called civilized countries, met the same fate in turn. Today, even the polar regions are being charted with great detail. Hardly a spot on earth has not been traversed by man. Thi s does not mean to imply that little remains to be done in the field of exploration, but that it is merely a question of time when science will overcome most of the obstacles that hinder man from covering the fa ce of the earth. We ma rvel at ach ievements on land and sea and in the air. By his inventi ve genius, man is always making the world a more comfortabl e place to live in. Thi s incessant preoccupation with the external world , with the things of sense, with activity of an objective nature, tends to di stract man and lead him too far away from the world within him, ~he world of thought, the world of spirit. Too much concern about material welfare is detrimental to deep thought and for this reason America has developed few thinkers who have left the impress of their genius upon t he \VOrld . E ven the man who glories in a college education, who has therefore received opportunities for intellectual development, may find that he is poor company for himself; he may be afraid of his own 路 thoughts, and so turns to outward activity. Progress is not throu gh mere fe verish acti on ; mill-wheels which are not given any grist, g rind each other to no purpose. The mind also must be fed to

October, 1932

be activated ; in the final an alysis, it is th e thinkers who are the movers of th e world. Self is largely an unexplored world for t he majority of individuals. Whether P ope was right or not wh en he sa id , "The proper stud y o f mankind is man," may be a matter of contention. Such a study, at any rate, is one of t he most fascinating. Unfortunately, modern psycholoay whi ch purposes to investiga te human behav ior too freq uently regards man merely as an ass emblage of nervous reacti ons to external stimuli. By placing man practica lly on a lev,el with the brute creation it hopes to be able to predic t and control human beh avior. Th ere is, however, a spiritu al element which constantly eludes sc ienti fic d iagnos i搂 or reduction to rule. For this reason the modern psychologist will unscientifically ignore it as though it we re non-existent. The true knowledge of man must embrace t he whole man, both the spiritual, as well as the material elem ent . Perhaps we are not concerned with th e acad emic as pects of psychology ; very probably, with out realizing it, we do concern ourselves with its practical applicati ons. If we wish to get the maximum out of our lives, we mu st resis t the tendency to extroversion by at least occas ional serious refl ection, which is engendered a nd d eveloped by se ri ous reading and serious conversation. We shall find th at we ha ve much to learn about ourselves; we sha ll experi ence a novel sensati on, the thrill of di scovery, in unde rtaking th e work of self-analysis like a Columbus sailing to a terra incognita over unknown seas. A life-time will seem all too short to accomplish the gigantic ach ievement of selfknowledge. Ancient Greek phil osophers felt th emselves justified in summing up their whole philosophy of life in 路 the two words Know Thyself. Some may conclude that such analys is of self will lead to morbidity or self-consciousness, or even a sort o f pessimi sm. In isolated instances th ere may be d anger of exaggerated self-concentra tion, but for most men t his da nger is quite remote, since intros pection d emand s a mod icum o f intelligence and sustained effort. In such a process of self-in ves tigation, th e work and t he results may seem inta ngi bl e, and yet it is of vital importance for all who are by training and educati on constit uted leaders in their communiti es that they recogni ze t heir ow n capacities, as well as thei r d efi ciencies. len have proved to be fai lures in their pa rticu la r wa lk of life because th ey refus ed to recognize the weaknesses of t heir character o r exaggerated their abiliti es . Others, on the contrary, understood their capacities, d eveloped them and exp loited them to the full and became spl endid assets to t heir communities. It would be worth our whil e to take as our own t he Greek motto, K now Thyself. On e t hing is ce rtain : we shall be surpri sed at th e vastness of the world which such an investigat ion will open for us. - uofoWith thi s issue the ALUMNUS begins its fif t h yea r. It is our sincere desire th at in ea ch numb er t hroughout th e year we may be able to present news of the ni vers ity o f D ay ton and oi the alumni that will be of d eep interest to all.

Flyers Are the C_lass of Ohio This Season Concensus of Opinion that U of D Has Perfect Grid Machine BY MASON C. BENNER, '32

ACH year, through a natural sense of loyalty and sometimes with tongue in check, the local adherents of any school feel called upon to announce with pardonable pride that the home team is the most powerful team ever produced at the dear old alma mater. Tevertheless, this yea r, we at the University of Dayton, dauntl ess of being trite, despite pardonable pride, and with no fear of the veracity of our statement, wish to announce to the press, the public and especially the alumni that Harry Baujan has produced a football machine that has no peer in the land in its class, and the on ly ones out of its class are such teams that rank on a par with Notre Dame, Army, Ohio State, Dartmouth, and the like. This announcement does not come as a bolt from the blue for anyone who has been following the Flyers during the past three seasons. Harry has been molding this year's machine all during this period. Starting several years ago with a team compr'ising mostly promising sophomores, such as Scotty Fearn, George Gorry, Dan Fitzsimmons, Johnny Bauer, John Medley, Marty Schnur, H ank Meyer, Shine Cleary, Whitey Cramer, Bernard Brisse, and others, Baujan has been molding a perfect running machine, adding other stars, such as Bob Payne, Paul Pienning, Gene Rodgers, Dan Gill, Ed Howe, Tom Hannegan, and J im McCarthy as he went along.

For tl)e aforementioned g roup thi s is the third season under fire together. With their natural ability and under the tutelage of Coaches Baujan, Belanich, and Kiefer their experience has molded them into as smooth a running unit as you would ever expect to see on any gridiron. Of course, other elements enter into the completion of an undefeated season bes ides the excellence of material, but barring such unforseen circumstances as injuries, playing conditions, or off-nights (it used to be off-days ), the F lye rs are better than a fifty-fifty bet to win all this· season's games. Thus ·far the Flyers have won three regular games and turned around to demon strate just how strong their reserve material was by sending the second teain over to beat Wilmington , an old rival that used to regularly adorn the schedu le of the first eleven. Findlay College, the pride of th e Northwest Conference, was the victim in the opener, and they di ed hard under the Red and Blue avalanche by a 33-to-0 score. Ju st to show that they are no ordi nary pushover, Findlay came back the next week to hold the Student Princes of Heidelberg to a 0-to-0 tie. ext, Adrian Coll ege of Adri an, Iich., came here after losi ng to J oh n Carroll ·by about ·rour touchdowns and were comp letely smothered by the varsity, 64 to 0. Then, just to show further the comparative strengtll of the Fl yers, J ohn Carroll only bea t

Wittenberg 7 to 6 la st week, and the Lutherans will furnish the opposition here Thanksgiving Day. The brilliant 21-to-14 victory over the strong U. S. Ma rines proved the strength of the Flyers. So, if you don't agree with me, draw your own conclusions. Thu s far, Dayton's starting eleven has been: Ends, ]. McCa rth y and P ay ne; tackles, Medley and M eyer; gua rd s, Bauer and Howe; center Clea ry; quarter, Fitzsimmons or Gill; hal ves, Gorry and Fearn; fullback, Schnur. The reserves lined up: Ends, R ap ier and Bagdonis; tackles, Kawka and Kell y; guards, Pozelnik and Brisse; center, Brandel; quarter, . A.

Findlay Given Football Lesson Before a su rprisingly la rge openingnight crowd , the University of D ay ton Flyers gave an inkling · of what may be expected from them on this gridiron this yea r by giving Stuart H olcomb's (fo rm er Ohio State star) Findlay College eleven a lesson in how the ga me of football rea lly shou ld be played, running up 33 points whil e the upstate rs -fought·-hard to no avail. .. The· Baujanites naturall y . did not uncork a variety of fancy plays, but their powerful machine was seldom stopped for any length of time, and

when their fleet backs broke loose there was no stopping them until the goal had been reached. This was notably the case when two substitutes, Tommy Hannegan and Joe McF adden, came through with an 80- and a 63-yard sprint, respectively. The balance of the scoring came about through the efforts of Fearn, Payne and Gill, and a safety on Findlay's part. Fearn flipped a neat 15yard pass to Payne on the fourth down for a touchdmvn, and later tore around end to mark up a counter himself. Hannegan, Dayton's mightiest mite, also contributed another on a quick opening play off tackle. Danny Gill contributed the only point after touchdown with a place kick. Blauvelt of Findlay downed the ball for a safety back of his own goal line after a bad pass from center. The game showed that the Flyers have a surplus of star backs, and if the line measures up to standard in the ~ougher contests the Dayton boys are m. -uof o-

Quick, the Adding Machine! Dayton 64, Adrian 0 It looks as if the sawbones did a good job on George Garry's knee. Out of the eight times he carried the ball for the F lyers against Adrian's unwieldy huskies, he scored four touchdowns. Shades of Ducky Swan! What a 路man! Tommy Hannegan contributed two touchdowns again, as did Whitey Cramer. Fitzsimmons and Hoefling contributed one apiece. Danny Gill kicked three dropkicks and Garry also doubled in brass by kicking a place kick for the points after the touchdowns. That was all of the scoring. Adrian never threatened and were hopelessly outclassed throughout the contest. Dayton made 30 first downs to Adrian's 3 and the visitors made but 16 yards by rushing the ball, whi le losing 15. That's the story. The entire Flyer squad looked good and were fortunate to dodge any injuries which would handicap them in the contest of the year with the U. S. Marines.

of D Fiyers Prove Strength Against Marines -u

After chalking up two easy earl yseason victories, the Flyers figured to run into a tough battle when they faced the "Devil Dogs", and they got exactly what they were looking for.

If there was any doubt as to the strength of the Hilltoppers it certainly was dismissed after the Marine contest, which proved that the Flyers is a crew that wi ll prove tough for any crew to handle. U of D scored two touchdowns in the first half, as against one in each half for the Marines. The 21-to-14 victory of the Flyers was a well-deserved win, and Harry Baujan's outfit looked strong in all departments. As for the Marines, the lads from Quantico fought like true warriors, but they simply were not

good enough. Statistics show that each club made 15 first downs, but the Flyers outgained the Marines, 253 yards to 129. The Leathernecks threw 22 passes and completed 11 for 99 yards, whi le the Flyers tossed eight and made three good for 33 yards. Coming out of the game with no injuries, the Red and Blue pigskin artists are now preparing, as we go to press, to tackle the Xavier :M usketeers on Friday night, October 14, at Cincinnati, for the Governor ~ooper Cup.
