Photographer Michael McGarry pretty well sums up the story of the University's famed Marian Library on this issue's cover. For the story of that unusual library and its work, see Father Philip Hoelle's story on page nine.
About the annual support program ... The ALUMNUS is happy to pass on to its faithful readers an almost-up-todate report on the current eighth annual Support Program. The response of alumni, parents, and other benefactors to this appeal has been most gratifying. As of May 16, and not including Senior Insurance Endowment payments, here is how the total wntributions looked: ALUMNI $ 50,181.39 PARENTS 4,802.70 OTHER BENEFACTORS 15,006.65 TOTAL CONTRIBUTIONS $ 69,990.74 Thus, with almost half the fund year still ahead of us, and with several chap. ters yet to report, almost $70,000 has been reached. The goal : $75,000. To what can we attribute this early assurance of success in the program? Certainly to be commended are the hundreds of loyal, hard working alumni and other friends of the University who have presented the U .D. case to their fellow alumni, to parents, and to the many other benefactors, seeking their support. Without the volunteer services of all these men and women, no measure of success could be attained. The whole University and the alumni association owes them a debt of gratitude. And the thousands of generous contributors who have made the pledges and written the checks deserve our sincere thanks. They have again proven their interest and loyalty to their university. Fund raising in support of higher education has become a gigantic effort around the country where colleges and universities, particularly those private, non-tax supported institutions, are find. ing it more and more difficult to keep up with rising costs and enrollments. U.D.'s development director, Mason Benner, the man responsible on the campus for fund"raising activities, tells about some of the different organizations and agencies which colleges today are calling on for assistance in this work. His "A.B.C.'s of Financial Support" is included in this issue on page 7. We think you'll find it of great interest. 0

NEW YORK CITY alumni gathered at the Warwick Hotel March 20 for an extra special meeting. University President Father Raymond Roesch came to the big city for the meeting and presented our guest of honor, Albert Emanuel II, a beautiful citation honoring his late father, Victor Emanuel, one of the University's most generous benefactors . Rusty Saunders and John Mehary were chairmen for the meeting and Bill Huth did a fine job as master of ceremonies. A few pictures taken at that meeting by Brother Ted Szymanski of Brooklyn Holy Trinity are included on these pages.
***
LATER in the week (this was N.I.T. week, so we stayed around New York for a few extra days) , the alumni out on Long Island got together at Charlie Kronke's Steak House for a meeting to acquaint the group with the eighth annual support program. Among those at the meeting were Lou Buckner, Jim Garneau, Jim and Ed Head, John Mehary, Charlie Kronke, and Pat Izzo.
*** PHILADELPHIA was the scene of a meeting on March 23 at which we briefed campaign workers on the Philly phase of the support program. At the meeting were Chairman Bob Ashman, Bill Reynolds, Jack Rrennan, and Ray Kohl.
*** ON a swing to the west in April, we visited CHICAGO and ST. LOUIS. In the first city, we got together on the 19th at the Como Inn with a group and sent them on their way, under Henry Hoying's chairmanship, to work the 115 Chicago area alumni for the support program. We were happy to see at the meeting: Jerry Powell, Harold Eynon, Joe Mori, Ron Free, Mark and Donna Kelly, Tom Wenthe, and George Hochwalt.
L ESE past few months have been exceedingly busy ones for your alumni office. In connection with the eighth annual support program, which we're happy to report is moving along quite well, we've visited chapters in about three dozen cities around the country and plan during the next few months to drop in on several more.
***
COLUMBUS had a meeting in February and discussed plans then for a number of activities they want to schedule during the summer and fall. The annual summer picnic is among these activities. Don Seifert, chairman of the chapter, tells us he'll be sending out some definite information on th e picnic and other events soon. Columbus, by the way, was one of the cities in which the Independent College Alumni Associates of Ohio (ICAA) campaigned this year. Elsewhere in this issue, Development Director Mason Benner tells about the ICAA and gives some details on the Columbus drive. Dick Van Atta was chairman. We're saluting all you Columbus U.D.ers this month by using a view of your beautiful city at the top of the page.

Austrian Lc.-Col. (retired) Oskar Hauenstein began teaching at the University of Dayton in 1953. As an assistant and later associate professor of engineering mechanics, he brought to the University's students the fruit of many years of experience as a practising and a teaching engineer. He wa introduced to the field at Austria's Military Academy where he won hi bachelor's degree at the tum of the century. At the War College, he won his master's. After retiring from the Army, and coming to the United States in 1927, he spent some time as a free-lance artist, then as an engineer in industry. In 1947, he joined the Purdue University faculty, teaching at the Calumet Center for six years before coming to Dayton. Last December, a circulatory ailment took him from the clas room and at age 78, he retired from teaching. A Engineer Hauenstein decided it was time to bring his career to a close, several other members of the niver ity taff were reaching significant milestones in their careers. Eight 1arianists pau ed to celebrate golden and silver anniver arie of their religiou life. Brother Edward Lynch, retired working Brother, and Brother Lawrence Boll, still active profe sor of English, marked their 60th years a members of the Society of Mary. Brothers Walter Roesch, librarian , and John Emling, assistant professor of educat ion , celebrated silver jubilees of their vows, along with Father James Darby, uperior of the Marianists' eastern province and chairman of the Univer ity' board of trustees. Three prie t -Fathers Charles Collins, Charle Bloemer, and Lawrence .\lonheim-ob erved their silver sacerdotal jubilees. Another anniver ary of service al o occurs thi year. Mary Tuite, as istant to the director of admis ion , joined the U.D. staff as secretary to the registrar. That year, she helped get a tudent body of 858 signed up. Over the ensuing year , she aw (not olely as a pectator) the student body grow to almo t nine times that 858. In 1956, Mi Tuite left the registrar's office and assumed an assistant's duties in the admissions office. 0

THE ABC'S OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR U. D. By Mason C. Benner, Director of Development
Do
you know what O.F.I.C. is? How about I.C.A.A.? Or, perhaps you know about C.F.A.E., A.C.P.R.A., or A.A.C. You don't? Well, you should; for these bits of the alphabet represent the initials of organizations which help U .D. (surely you know that stands for the University of Dayton) in its program for the future. Of course they also give assistance to other colleges and universities in the never-ending struggle to improve their curriculums, faculties, and facilities in a program commonly labeled "Development." You don 't know what Development is? Hmm! W e' d better start from there. Any college or university these days, worth its salt, must plan for the future, know what it stands for, where it is going, and how it should get there. This is Development planning. The
various projects to raise the funds to carry out the plans make up ~he Development Program. U.D. has, or is in the process of getting into, all the proj ects usual to a development program. They include such methods of seeking financial aid as the annual support program-from alumni, parents, and other benefactors; capital funds campaigns for new buildings; will, bequests, annuities and insurance programs; a foundations program; campaign for annual support from business and industry ; student support such as Development Day and the . Senior Insurance Endowment Program. These cover practically every source from which a university can hope to get support for its development. In order to secure the best results from these sources each is approad1ed with a carefully planned and organized program. Litera lly thousands of volunteer
alumni, parents, facu lty, students, and other friends of the University are recruited to help multiply a small profes. sional staff in the continuous effort or fund raising. These volunteers do a great job of actually soliciting the prospective donors, thus enabling the university to progress and compete with the other non-profit institutions which serve people. It is a matter of competing and progressing-or stagnation and failure .
O.F.I.C. Competition with other colleges and universities for the donor's dollar is not as desirable as cooperation. Both the donors and the educators soon realized this when so many schools were calling on the same prospective donors. As a result, O .F.I.C. was founded as a kind of "Community Chest of Colleges."
7
O.F.l.C. stands for Ohio Foundation of Independent Colleges. Now in its tenth anniversary year, O.F.l.C. has thirty-two member colleges in Ohio which are not supported through taxes. U.D. has been a member for four years. The officers of the members of O.F.l.C. work together in an annual campaign with business firms for operating funds. This year, over 1,250 firms will give over one million dollars which will be divided as follows between the members: sixty per cent distributed equally ; and forty per cent distributed in proportion to the enrollment of fulltime undergraduate students.
I.C.A.A. Cooperation worked so well with O.F.I .C. that twenty- five of the same Ohio colleges and universities decided
to work together in their annual support campaigns with alumni. As a result I.C.A.A. was born. I.C.A.A. stands for Independent College Alumni Associates. Now in its third year of existence, the participating member institutions of l.C.A.A. conducted simultaneous, cooperative, personal solicitation campaigns with their alumni in Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Akron, Toledo, and Cleveland. Next year Canton and Youngstow n will be added. Each member school has its own campaign organization and keeps the money it raise from its alumni. However, the literature, campaign kickoff dinner and report meeti ngs are common to all the members. Friendly competition between the colleges as to the percentage of alumni contributing stimulates the campaigns. Publi city is better for twenty-five simul-
taneous campaigns than it ever could be for that many separate drives. With alumni participation now doubling the national average of twenty-five per cent and wi th over $250,000 being raised in total this year. I.C.A.A. has been quite a helpful symbol.
C.F.A.E. C.F.A.E. stands for Council for Fi nancial Aid to Education. This is a national organization which plays an important role as a fact-find er on the needs of America's higher education sy tern and on the financial aid given to it by business concerns. The Counci l encourages business support of higher education and provides gratis both data and advice for interested compani es. C.F. .E. does not actually rai e money for any individual college or university but, its continuous program of publication , publicity, and meetings he! ps busi nesse to decide how to support higher education and aids colleges to learn how best to secure such support.
MARIAN LIBRARY is of great international repute By Father Philip C. Hoelle, S.M.

A.C.P.R.A. is the American College Public Relations Association and A.A.C. is the American Alumni Council. Both are national organizations of colleges, universities, and their professional personnel in the respective fi elds. Development officers may participate in both. Public relations and administrative officials are served by A.C.P.R.A. while alumni secretaries and their staffs receive particular service from A.A.C. These organizations act as clearing house for information on the latest developments in their respective fi elds. Through publi ca tions, litera ture, and conferences, the practitioners in the various fi elds are kept up to date on th e best ways to serve the institutions with which they are associated. From a development viewpoint, each organization is of excellent assistance in fund raising approaches. It pays to know your A.B.C.'s if you are responsibl e for securing the support which enables your university to stay out of the red financially while it struggles to maintain excell ence in the edu cation it offers its students. Every alumnus, faculty member, student, parent, and other fri end of U.D. should be grateful to the A.B.C.'s which have been so helpful in aiding the University of Dayton to attain its present posi tion of greatness. 0

LIBRARY is not a shrine where books are worshiped or a temple where authors are offered incense. A library is a home where cultural heritage is preserved, a delivery room where ideas are born, an arena where history comes to life. The Marian Library was launched on the campus of the University of Dayton in 1943, as a new apostolic weapon to help the Marianists carry on in this Marian era our Lady's dynamic mission as the spiritual mother of all men. ON THE OTHER END of another long distance phone call was a Pennsylvania doctor with an urgent problem. Nettled by several colleagues' banter about the reality of the miraculous cures at Lourdes, he challenged their stock charges of ignorance, fraud , and deceit. When the smoke of the verbal battle cleared away they promised to arrange for him to speak on miracles at the next regular meeting of the local physicians. But the next meeting was only a few days away! Could we send him immediately some reliable pamphlets and books so that he could accept the challenge and make good his claims? An audible sigh of relief acompanied our assurance of immediate shipment of 9
appropriate material-a striking contrast to his nervous excitement when he opened the conversation. Scholars as well as professional people turn to our Marian arsenal for literary ammunition to defend basic Marian truths and to justify Marian devotion. The staff has a warm spot in its heart for all those who are ready to delve below the surface to dig for the precious gold hidden in Marian doctrine. Prominent Mariologists visited the Marian Library in January, 1958, on the occasion of the ninth annual Mariological Society's convention held in Dayton. Many well-known Marian authors have spent days and weeks and even months in the library gathering information and getting references for their own books, papers and articles, whether it be for complete sources material on the Immaculate Conception, the rosary, music, poetry or icons, or highly selected material for a children's book on Marian shrines or a historical account of the liturgical Marian anthems. Now in its eighteenth year, the library started as a special project to help commemorate in 1950 the centenary of the arrival of the first Marianists in America. The idea of a library devoted exclusively to our Lady and the realization of this dream are to be credited to two Marianists-the Very Reverend John A. Elbert, at the time the scholarly president of the University of Dayton and Father Lawrence W. Manheim, energetic and zealous University professor of religion and first director of the Marian Library. At the time there was no large active library devoted entirely to the Blessed Virgin, though there were and still are valuable Marian collections at the Catholic University of America, Harvard, Notre Dame, Paterson, N.J., and Woodstock College, Md. YONE even slightly acquainted with the devotional life of the Church is conscious of an ever increasing thirst for a deeper knowledge of Mary among the educated faithful of our day. In the past twenty years the Church's approval of the heavenly appearances at Fatima, Beauraing, and Banneux has spurred the devoted Catholic teacher and housewife and salesman and lawyer to search out the meaning behind these inspired messages. Pius XII took such a preponderant interest by his frequent exhortations, highlighted by the 1950 dogmatic definition of the Assumption and climaxed by the unprecedented year-long observances of the 1954 Marian Year and the 1958 Lourdes Year, that he has been justly styled the Marian Pope. Without any difficulty as far as source material is concerned, the MARIANIST was able to edit a complete issue (March, 1959) on this pope's personal and official interest in the only perfect Christian who ever walked this earth. This delightfully welcome surge of Marian interest needs discipline and direction to fulfill its providential mission in the Church. Marian theology, officially known as Mariology, shoulders this serious responsibility of probing ever more deeply the hidden wells of Catholic doctrine in order to slake the thirst of our college graduates who are daily becoming more keenly aware of their sublime dignity and their irreplaceable duty in the Mystical Body. If they are to be other Christs in their daily round of duties, who could possibly be a better guide than she who instructed in experimental knowledge the growing Christ? The Marian Library endeavors to supply this direction and discipline to Marian devotion by offering its dedicated services and its literary holdings to everyone in general and to scholars in particular. Our international research center quietly keeps on collecting and cataloging and indexing all available Marian printed material in books, pamphlets and periodicals, with special efforts to be as
for the budding collection. Partially frustrated in his efforts to obtain the desired books either by sale or loan or gift, he hit upon the unique idea of a Union catalog. A card system was set up so that field workers could search through public and private libraries around the country and indicate by code on a card all the Marian books they could find. These coded cards were forwarded to the library and arranged in such a way that the staff would know where the book could be obtained in case the Marian Library did not have the book in question. This makes it possible to refer a California correspondent to a library a few miles from his own home. Valuable Marian books turn up in unexpected places; by way of example the public library in Louisville, Ky., has a book which is rare in its field. It is important for us as a clearing house for information to know where the book is when we are consulted, even though we do not have it. The combing of a thousand American libraries enabled us to publish in 1949 a Booklist of the Marian Library. A more complete booklist is in progress : it will probably take several years before its publication because of its comprehensive scope.
"La Purisima," a rare, 17th Century wood carving, is one of many pieces of valued statuary included in the Marian Library collection. It was obtained by Library Director Father Hoelle from an obscure art shop in Cuernavaca , Mexico, last year.

Rare manuscripts from past centuries are among the valued Mariana in the library.
complete as possible in the major research languagesLatin, French, German, Spanish, Italian and English. Today the library has nearly 17,000 Marian books and more than 2,000 pamphlets and all the better known Marian periodicals. From non-Marian magazines and newspapers we have accumulated more than 40,000 mounted and indexed file clippings and this figure mounts each week as the clippings roll in from the volunteer workers. One of the mysteries of Marian literature is the number of books which have been written about Our Lady . To my knowledge no one has ever made more than a calculated estimate. One step to the solution would be to determine what constitutes a book and even this would seem to offer difficulties to get a common agreement. Perhaps a fairly complete list of Marian books will some day be determined through the combined efforts of the Marian libraries in the world by using the Union catalog system similar to the one in our Marian Library. Early in its pioneer days the second director of the Marian Library, Father Edmund Baumeister, S.M., found his organizational genius hard put to it to acquire books
HE MOST precious possession of the library is the famed Clugnet Collection which totals over 7,000 items, ranging from beautifully bound oversized tomes to small pamphlets. Leon Clugnet was a nineteenth century librarian at the Sorbonne whose hobby consisted of collecting all available literature on French Marian shrines. This collection contains the most complete holdings on local devotion in France up to the early twentieth century and includes the file cards indexed by M. Clugnet himself. Included in this group are nearly 1500 artistically tooled leather bound volumes. Purchased in 1954, it is now open for use with references by author, title, and to a limited degree by subject. The Marian Library has knowledge of the existence of 120 Marian periodicals throughout the world and subscribes to all of them. These range from scholarly theological proceedings and learned journals to popular devotional literature for children. At present efforts are in progress to fill the gaps among back numbers in our periodical sets. A salient feature of the library is the clipping file system mentioned previously. These 40,000 newspaper and magazine clippings are carefully culled from American and foreign diocesan weeklies and such dailies as La Croix (Paris) and L'Osservatore Romano (Rome). In the last few years devoted friends have been generously volunteering their minds and eyes and hands to help keep these files up-to-date as our readiest source of popular information. These volunteers scan the non-Marian papers and magazines with eagle eyes for Marian news or information, deftly clip the article and mark in detail its source. These clippings are then mounted on a standard sized sheet, the source is recorded on the sheet, the subject matter is classified and finally filed and becomes at that moment a member of our handiest reference in the library. Marian music is not neglected. We obtain all current Marian recordings for our present modest collection. We are looking forward with eagerness to the completion of an excellent Marian musical bibliography promised to us by a Dominican nun who is working on this topic for her master's thesis. Film strips and slides are also collected and loaned free to the public to help along with the visual aids for children in schools and for adults in parish meetings. The library has a hundred filmstrips including sixteen illustrating Marian cathedrals in Europe, fifteen on Mary's life and eight on Lourdes and Bernadette. There are also excellent series of slides on Lourdes, Beauraing, and Fatima. The free loan of six Marian films enjoyed an astonishingly wide appeal during the Marian and the Lourdes Years. Marian art pieces supply atmosphere to the library and stimulate visitors to be more selective and discriminating in their own choice of devotional art at home. Imported hand-carved statues from leading European art centers make up the bulk of the wide variety of statuary from Catholic Europe and Mexico. Crowded conditions at present do not allow the desired luxury of a more advantageous display of our cherished Marian Art. Our records show that during the past year 642 books were loaned from the library, including 102 foreign language books, either by mail or by personal calls. To this number should be added the use of books, pamphlets, and files for regular reading and research done in the library itself by students and visitors. Students of Mariology courses offered on campus have access to all the facilities of the library, including trained personnel and an excellent array of supplementary reading. Each semester of the school year and during the summer sessions the University offers Mariology courses. This summer these courses will be offered on the graduate as

well as the undergraduate level as an integral part of the theology offerings. The MARIANIST is the official organ of the Marian Library. This semi-popular monthly magazine devoted exclusively since 1955 to non-fiction Marian material claims a unique place among Marian magazines in that it cuts across the boundaries of all religious orders and groups dedicated to Mary and goes beyond the limited appeal of any particular devotion. VERY religious order in the Church possesses its own distinctive trait. The Marianists' special gift from God is the mission to reproduce in unmistakeable candor and refreshing singleness of purpose Christ's lifelong filial devotedness to His Mother. This means that the spiritual sons and daughters of the saintly Bordeaux Canon, William Joseph Chaminade, embrace the whole life of the physical Christ as a state in which He chose to live as a Son of Mary. In living their apostolic role in the Mystical life of Christ on earth, every Marianist accepts fully the far reaching apostolic consequences of the spiritual motherhood of Mary. To make devotion robust, and to keep it dynamic, Catholic lay leaders must be convinced that this is an integral devotion prompted by apostolic necessity and not merely an optional practice flowing from a private preference. Those more intellectually inclined will find a rich Marian treasure in the Marian Library Studies, the new name for the continuation of an already lengthy series of Marian Reprints, consisting of official Marian documents, impressive articles or important addresses not readily available in English. By way of example, number 77, a recent issue, The Development of Marian Doctrine, is q twelve page selection taken from the introduction of Marianist Father Emil Neubert's book Mary in Doctrine, published in 1954 but now out-of-print. This scholarly periodical appears eight times a year on a subscription basis and now specializes in papal documents and translations of foreign-language articles by leading international Mariologists. Among the contributors in the immediate future are Pius XI, Cardinals Agagianian and Bea, and Fathers Gabriel Roschini and Clement Dillenschneider. Marian Library Studies is indexed by the Catholic Periodical Index. Marian Library anthologies take us to another publishing venture of the library. The Promised Woman, an anthology on the Immaculate Conception, appeared in 1954, and the Queen of the Universe on the Assumption, followed it in 1958. Both were edited by Brother Stanley G. Mathews, S.M., at the time the librarian of the Marian Library. To commemorate the centennial of Lourdes appari-

Since 1954, Father Hoelle has adopted the Marian Library motto, De Maria Numquam Satis (never enough about Mary), as his own raison d'etre. In the seven years he has served as director of the internationally famed library, the unusual facility has grown in scope and depth. Today it stands unparalleled in the western hemisphere as an outstanding center of Mariana. Its scholarly effect on other campus libraries and on the University as a whole is immeasurable. Director Hoelle (B.A., U.D. '33; S.T.B., University of Fribourg, 1941; S.T.L., Catholic University, 1943; M.A., Ohio State University, 1947; Ph.D., Ohio State, 1953) also serves as associate professor of theology.
tions in 1958 the library cooperated with the school of education of the University of Dayton in a two weeks' workshop, the proceedings of which were published by the library in a book entitled Our Lady in Education. In 1959 the library assisted in the publication of the Rosary Bibliography by Father Charles Auth, O.P. Since June, 1953, a regular annual feature constantly attracting greater interest is the two-day study called the Marian Institute, engaging the services of nationally known speakers such as Mary Reed Newland, Father James Egan, O.P., Dale Francis, Sister Mary Jean Dorey, O.P., Father Juniper Carol, O.F.M., Father Titus Cranny, S.A., Very Reverend William Ferree, SM., Father Eamon Carroll, 0. Carm., and Father William Most. Topics discussed over the years take in such themes as Mary in the liturgy, Our Lady and converts, Mary in the parish. This year in May the Marian Library will sponsor the third annual regional Mariological meeting for the Dayton area. The purpose is to acquaint the clergy and laity in our vicinity with the Mariological Society of America and thus encourage a deeper study of Marian doctrine. Topics treated thus far have been Father Chaminade's teaching on the Spiritual Maternity in 1959, and the doctrinal basis of the Legion of Mary in 1960. The 1961 theme is Mary in Protestant thinking. The library considers it a stroke of good fortune to be in a position to provide its special services to members of the Mariological Society of America. The present director of the Marian Library is the national coordinator of the annual regional Mariological Society meetings now being held in Washington, D. C., Boston, Chicago, and Dayton. The Marian Library Medal winner is announced each year at the opening of the Marian Institute. This artistic gold medal goes to the author of the best book on Mary written in English and published in the United States during the previous year. In 1956 the award went to Ruth Cranston, the non-Catholic author of the universally acclaimed book The Miracle of Lourdes. The library is heavily indebted to the trained philatelic services of a Marianist Brother for an outstanding up-todate collection of more than three hundred pre-canceled Marian stamps from all corners of the world. To stimulate students to get more interested in Mary's presence among men we have sponsored school contests on the high school and college level on the Immaculate Conception, Lourdes and Fatima. Generous prizes in the form of cash and Marian books have been sent to winners all over the country. Several dozen autographed copies of recent, important Marian books are among our treasured trophies. The most precious treasure is that of Pius XII in a collection of papal Marian encyclicals, bound in white cloth and stamped in gold with the papal coat-of-arms. The highly intriguing feature of the Marian Library is the simple fact of its steady, healthy growth over the years without any budget. As a resourceful mother makes ends meet in her home as only a mother can, so Our Lady has certainly taken care of her library. We know that she will continue to beam her motherly smile upon this Marianist labor of love. With filial piety steeped in the Marianist vow of stability we gratefully and happily entrust to our heavenly Mother and Queen the eagerly desired fulfillment of our cherished dream for a new Marian Library soon to rise on the campus of the University of Dayton. In this new home-all her own-the Marian heritage of the ages will be forever preserved, Marian ideas will continue to be born and Marian history will ever come to life so that our mature knowledge of Mary may lead us all unerringly to a mature knowledge of her Divine Son. 0

e internationally famed Marian Library is a part of a library organization which is expanding rapidly under the leadership of Brother Walter Roesch. Such expansion has been boosted in recent months by the completion of the science library in the new Sherman Hall, and earlier, by the opening of the Wohlleben Hall library where chemistry, chemical engi neering, and geology volumes are centered. Materials of special interest to students in the School of Education are in the Curriculum Library in Chaminade Hall. In the Albert Emanuel Library, the core of the entire library system, a number of ch anges are taking place. When the auditorium in Wohlleben Hall opened, th e old auditorium in the library was renovated into a modernly furnished reading room. At present, the former quarters of the Guidance Center in the AEL basement are being converted into more available reading and reference space. The Guidance Center is now located on the fourth floor of St. \Iary's Hall. In the long-range plans of the U niversi ty is the addition to two wings to the present building, given to the school in
1927 by the late Victor Emanuel as a memorial to his father. 0

Once you do have that. respect and confidence of legislators, they're always willing to sit down and discuss your problems with you ." Kendall's duties in clude drafting proposed legislation, doing research to support it, appearing before committees to testify, and reviewing any legislation which might adversely affect government workers' interests.

In this positiOn, i\fonsignor Hochwalt looks after 10,300 elementary schools and 2,400 high schools around the country with a total enrollment of 5,000,000 students. Testifying before Congress on the much-debated aid-to-education legislation , \fonsignor Hochwalt has become even more prominent in the public eye. Another alumnus, Dick Cull '36, of the Dayton Daily News Washington bureau , supplied Daytonians with this background on the Monsignor: "In a city where holders of honorary degrees are legion, Msgr. Frederick G. Hochwalt probably stands as one of the most honored. "The 51-year-old native Daytoni_an has been called forward to receive awa;~s £;om ~atholic colleges and uni. versJties Ill '"'Isconsin, California Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, and Missouri. "And, of course, his hometown school, the_ University of Dayton, has honored him on many occasions. He
got hi LLD there . "Elsewhere in Ohio, Xavier U. at Cincinnati awarded him the St. Francis Xavier gold medal . . . "You'll also find a biography of .\lsgr. Hochwalt in Who's Who. "1\fsgr.
