IF that old clit:he about names making news be true, we've got plenty of news for you this time around . We've been all over the country since visiting with yo u here a few months ago - but let's take a look at the home front before moving around ... The Montgomery County chapter has been extremely active. Earlier in June, the group held its annual dinnerdance at which new officers were announced and the chapter's annual awards for civic and professional achievement and for service were given. At press time we didn't have the election results (the balloting looked much heavier than usual) but the awards were presented as follows: Rocky Whalen won the "service to the chapter" award in recognition of his successful two terms as chapter president; Clem Jauch , in recognition of many generous activities in the community, won the civic award; and the dean of Dayton obstetricians, Dr. Norman Hochwalt, won the

By the way, the candidates for chapter offices included Jack Bramlage and Bernard Stang for president; Dick Durbin and Dick Welch for vice president; Sue Schneider and Betty Osweiler for secretary; and Jack Kussman and Don Ruhl for treasurer. On the national scene , the alumni association is now studying the possibi lity of a nation-wide Corporate Communion Sunday to be followed by breakfast in each of our cities. You 'll hear more abo ut this later. OUR TRAVE LS DURIN G the past several weeks took us first to Celina for a joint meeting of the Celina-St. MarysMinster-Coldwater groups. There, on March 21, were Jim Scheuerman and Bill Rose of Celina; Merrill Ridgway of St. Marys; Chairman Charles Bensman and assistants Andy Dixon , Bob Brun, Dick Ahrns, Alice Cain, P aul Am ann , and Gene Moorman of Minster; and Chairman Joseph

Next it was Cleveland on March 29 for the kick-off of the campaign by the Independent College Alumni Associates (ICAA) _ This year, for the first time, several Cleveland schools joined with the ICAA schools in the campaign . Our chairmen in Cleveland are Dick Dutro and Don Bauer. Working with them are Joe Andras, John Bohan , Pat Byrne, Elio Carlini, Henry Froelich , Ben Gui lfoyle, Jim Ki lbane, Dick Mayer, George Uher, Lou Venditti , Ed Walsh, Jerry Waters, Vern Weber, Ron Willkomm , Ed Crow, Andy Belavic, Tom Hoban, Dick Litton , the other Dick Mayer, Bob Mayer, Jim DeFabio, Ed Long, Marlo Termini, Russ Bouchez, Bob First, Paul Regan , Gene May, Terry Reagan, Ray Janasek, Len Jindra, Dick Horwedel , Ann Horrigan , Dan Ferrazza, Joe Feighan , and Bill Gutbrod. Our meeting was at the Cleveland Hotel March 29 and we really enjoyed the evening. On our way back south, we had a fine meeting at Mansfield and we 're happy to report that this chapter, under the chairmanship of Chuck Kenny, became the first to exceed its goal in the annual support program and building fund campaign. Mansfield pledges totalled $1,225 with a goal of $1,000. And to ice the cake, the chapter had ninety-two per cent participation. We're very proud of Chuck and his workers , all of whom are pictured on these pages. SEVERAL DAYS LATER, on April 5, Brother Lackner and I continued our visits. This time, we met with the Indianapolis group at the Fireside Inn . Jim Fi llenwarth is chairman there, with these captains : John Braun, Bob McNamara, Jim Murphy, Pete Rehs, Dick Rost, Dave Schnorr, Bob Schott, Paul Witte, Tom Hughes, Joe Medisch, and Pete and Judy Goelz Peterson.

Then came a tour of the eastern chapters. We were in Pittsburgh April 9 where Chairman Paul Wick had called a meeting at the Pittsburgh Athletic Club. On hand were Paul and Jane Wick, Don Coan, Paul Dacey, John Quinlisk, Martha Moore Carrick , Mike and Margaret Hannegan, and Chuck Taylor. The beautiful Pittsburgh skyline is our head-of-the-column photograph this time, as you Pi rates may have noticed. On the tenth we were in Washington for a meeting hosted by AVCO and their Gen. Herbert Jones. Dale and Ann Griffin Babione are the chairmen there, and we were glad to see Art Focke, Landis and Elvira Vocke Gephart, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Westendorf, Father Justin Hennessey, Gene Baczenes, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Wach, Mr. and Mrs. John Condon, Bob Kepler, Mr. and Mrs. Jim McDonald , Dennis Jones, Jerry and Pat Summers O'Grady, Joe Wade , and Alice Duffy Craig. Over to Baltimore on April 11 and a fine meeting at the Park Plaza with Chairman Charles Cluxton, Dr. Francis Wehner, Ed Murray, and Howard Pritchard. Ed Plumer is also work in g with that group. Our tour of the east ended at Philadelphia where CoChairmen Jack Brennan and Bob Ashman had arranged a get-together at the MLA club. Paul Ryan, Bill Reynolds , and Jim Blake also joined us. DETERMINED TO LEAVE no stone unturned , Brother Lackner headed west. He met with Mary Sue Miller's group in the Los Angeles area on April 30 at a gathering in the Marianists' J unipero Serra high school in Gardena. We offer on these pages, for your ed ification, a photograph taken at that meeting. Assisting in the L.A. area are Phi l Grimes and Bill Meyer. The next meeting on the western swing was in San Francisco. It took place May 3 at another Marianist school, Continued on page 17

UNITED for HIGHER EDUCATION

SELDOM before, in the history of the city of Dayton, had so many elements of the community joined together for a common cause. One evening late in April everybody turned out in the University Fieldhouse to unite in an effort described as the greatest civic undertaking in the area since the establishment of the Miami Conservancy district. The occasion was the start of the gigantic six million dollar combined university building fund campaign . Volunteers from throughout the D ayton area were on hand for an inspiring beginning of a campaign which will culminate in the addition of two new buildings at the University of Dayton and the establishment of a state university branch in the city. By the time alumni read about the campaign in this issue of The ALUMNUS, the drive will have ended; but if it continued as it began (S. C. Allyn of the National Cash Register Company commented: "This campaign is on fire!") it will have ended successfully.

. . . brought an enthusiastic re sponse from workers. Other outstanding gifts sparking the campaign included $250,000 from the Rike-Kumler Company and David Rike Family; $200 ,000 from the Standard Register Company Foundation ; $100,000 from the Catholic pari shes of Dayton, announced by Archbishop Karl J. Alter; and $210,000 from alumni , students, p~rent s, faculty , and staff of the University, headed bY Dr. Carroll A. Hochwalt 's personal contribution of $50,000.

BEFORE the evening ended, U.D. 's beautiful Flyerettes were able to show pledges of $2, 000 ,000 , much to the delight of the Fieldhouse crowd. Two weeks later , at the fir st meeting report, the campaign exceeded the halfway mark, with $3,105,180 pledged . Bolstering the fi gure were $350 ,000 from the Dayton Power and Light Company; $100,000 from the Dayton Clearing House ; $50,000 from the League of Insured Savings and Loans; $50,000 from the Mead Corporation ; $50 ,000 from Arm co Steel, Middletown ; and $25,000 each from Pri ce Brothe rs, Apex Machine , Reynolds and Reynolds, Sears Roebuck, Precision Rubber, and Duriron companies. THREE million dollars of the six-million-dollar target of the campaign will go for the construction of a new University Center and a classroom building for the School of Business Administration at U.D.

MORE than 1,200 of some 1,800 workers who volunteered to he l p ra ise the campaign's six-million-dollar goal jammed the fieldhouse to the kick-off dinner.

Dr. Carroll A. Hochwalt The October, 1961, issue of Harper's Magazine , in a special supplement entitled "The College Scene," launches its discussion with the statement that "Universal college education has already become inevitable in America -although it probably will not be accepted for another generation.'' The magazine goes on to point out, whereas in 1900 the average American left school at the age of twelve, the average work-starting age had risen to fifteen in 1930, was eighteen in 1960, and by 1990 is certain to be at least age twenty-one. There are a variety of pressing reasons for this trend toward lengthened academic preparation of our young people. For one thing, we have a geometric progression of technological advances in the pure and applied sciences demanding increasingly sophisticated scientists and in greatly expanded numbers. At the same time , mechaniza tion and automation are rapidly transferring increased amounts of the work of our nation from the backs of men to their brains. As a result, there is a surging demand for a more literate and skilled work force. This trend also has brought with it an increased productivity and purchasing power for the individual which has enormously multiplied his demand for all kinds of specialized services- from TV repairmen to lawyers, dentists and doctors. However, it is not merely the more sophisticated requirements from our human resources that is causing higher percentages of our young people to pursue higher education. There also is the strong parental desire to better equip their children culturally and intellectually for the "good life" which our greater purchasing power and extended leisure has opened to us. Also, while the world has been shrunk by modern communication and transportation , the effect has been one of broadening our individual worlds to include interests and problems which outdate provinciality and bigotry. Our young people find their appetites whetted by a more intimate awareness of a world in rapid and radical transition. Add to this increasing appetite for higher learning the fact that there will be about fifty per cent more Americans of college age in 1970 than there were in 1960 - the 1940-42 "war babies" which are now straining our lower school facilities - and we can project these staggering needs to be met by our system of higher education in 1970: College enrollment will have doubled, from three million to approximately six million students.

A bout fifteen billions of dollars will be spent between now and then for new and modernized plant to accommodate the enrollment. College faculties will have practically doubled to a total count of some 425,000 teachers. College operating expenses will be more than double at an estimated five and one-half billions of dollars annually. The bulk of these enormous requirements for expanded higher education necessarily will fall upon the tax-supported state schools. Those institutions already have more than sixty per cent of the nation's total college enrollment, a percentage which will increase substantially in the coming decade. There will be a great many more state-supported junior colleges which will be, in effect, extensions of the high school curricula and teaching process. In fact , there is frequent reference to these freshman and sophomore levels as the "thirteenth and fourteenth grades. " There also will be many more tax-supported "terminal colleges" awarding nothing higher than the bachelor's degree and offering curricula which are oriented to joL-finding and life-adjustment goals rather than to the sterner disciplines of genuine intellectual inquiry . In short, it will be a flowering of mass-produced and mass-consumed higher education fitted to the needs of students who, while desiring higher education, do not seek or may not be qualified to seek the education of the scholar. But it is reasonable to assume that there also will be a higher percentage as well as a larger number of young people who, in 1970, will seek and deserve the conceptual adventure of genuine intellectual inquiry . In my opinion , it will remain for the privately-endowed small colleges to continue being- and become increasingly- the basic educators of the true scholars. Scholarship can only blossom from a genuine love of learning, and it is only in the small college that the professors, in their close contacts with individual students, can fully impart this love of inquiry into a subject, which is the scholar's true inspiration. Those of us who have known the great gratification of this experience have an obligation to help other young people to share the intellectual advantages of it. At least one nationally prominent educator already has sounded a public alarm over "a growing impersonalness" in the administration and instruction of university students. The Very Rev. Paul C. Reinert, S.J., president of St. Louis University, told members of the St. Louis Harvard Club

THE CHALLENGE FACING THE SMALL COLLEGE

recently that "the entire purpose and benefit of higher education will be lost if university officers and teachers come to view their job as one of turning out a mass production product." Father Reinert also made another important point in favor of the small private college over what you might call " big education." This is the growing tendency on the part of the universities to relegate the educational function to a position secondary in importance to on-campus research projects financed by federal or found ation funds. He pointed out that the professors are spending less time teaching and more time isolated in laboratories carrying out research that has become more profitable to the universities than is the education of young people. Last year, the federal government alloted almost 900 millions of dollars for such university research. Taxes already have seriously depleted the sources of individual philanthropy to private colleges. As taxes increase further, to assume much of the burden of mass higher education, there will be even less money for personal endowments . It is obvious that a larger share of the support of the private colleges will have to come from the trust funds of America's corporations. However, such funds for aid to education are not inexhaustible nor are they casually disbursed. Corporate management insists upon assurance that the institutions which it supports are those which are doing work of quality; that they have that sense of greatness which should imbue every school which presumes to lead young scholars past the frontiers of the mind. One question which is universally asked by corporations interested in financial aid to education is: What is the college doing to help itself? In other words, how vigorous is it as an institution , measured in terms of the support it is able to command from those who know it best, its alumni, the parents of its students, its trustees, its community, and its church affiliation, if one exists? Schooled in the virtues of initiative and enterprise, the businessman is instinctively inclined to be more considerate of helping those institutions which have demonstrated to him the most initiative and enterprise in helping themselves! In my opinion, that is an important fact for you alumni. It is you who have benefitted the most from the capability of alma mater, and you are expected by others to be the most prompt and generous source of her aid. The alumni's

DR. HOCHWALT , one of the University 's most distingui shed alumni , is vice pre s· ident tor re search, and development and engineerin g, and patents at the Mon· santo Chemical Company , St. Louis . He is currently serving as chairman of the University's ninth annual Support Program . The message on these pages was delivered by Dr. Hochwalt at the Dayton kick-ott of the Independent College Alumni Associates (ICAA) in March. Said Dr. Hochwalt at that time : " II I should succeed in doing what I should like to do, and indeed what I have been invited here to do, each of you shall depart this hall tonight chal· lenged by a flood tide of intellectual appetite which is sweeping toward our institutions of higher learning. You shall be enthused at the crucial role in serving that appetite whi ch is and mu st remain the province of the private college . Finally, you will be tired by the urgency of implementing that role and by the conviction that it not only mu st be done but can and will be done -simply because there is nothing that is more important. " All of that is a rather tall order to be tilled in a lew minutes of remarks . On the other hand, each of you already feels a substantial awareness of these challenges and the urgency of meeting them. II you didn 't you wouldn't be here. So , I shall do what I can to reinforce your awareness and accelerate your ettorts by passing along to you some of my observations as an alumnus of the University of Dayton and as a businessman ." Dr. Hochwalt is a member of the class of 1920 and was awarded an honorary Doctor of Science by the University in 1935.

response in support of the school is, in this sense, the "seed money" of corporation giving. It is the foundation of the development program of every college and university because, through its example, it attracts the support of others including the trust funds of industry. I urge you alumni to give support which will be meaningful far beyond its actual value as evidence of the vigor and initiative of your institution. That vigor and initiative must be demonstrated by our small colleges now as never before- for their dedication to scholarship and the "sense of greatness" is needed now as it has never been needed before.

220 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE UNIVERSITY SIX Marianists and three laymen on the University of Dayton facu lty this year observe significant anniversaries of service to the University and the Society of Mary. The nine, among them, account for 220 years of such educational service. At the head of the jubilarians list is beloved Brother William J. "Doc" Wohlleben, observing the seventieth anniversary of his vows as a Marianist. Now retired and residing in Alumni Hall, Doc has been at the University as a professor of chemistry and chemical engineering since 1909. The beautiful Wohlleben Hall on the campus stands as a monument to his many years of teaching. He's a member of U.D.'s class of 1903. Brother Andrew Weber, a distinguished engineer who was just elected a Fellow of the Ohio Academy of Science, is also retired. He observes his golden jubilee of religious profession. Brother Andy has been at the University almost continuously since 1919 and is held in highest esteem by mechanical engineers. He's a member of two U.D. classes, 1919 and 1927. A former president of the University also is noting his golden jubilee. Father John A. Elbert, president from 1938 to 1944, also served as superior of the Marianists' Cincinnati province from 1948 to 1958. He is currently professor of philosophy and dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. He has two of his degrees from U .D . - his bachelor's in 1915 and his master's in 1916.

Harry C. Baujan, athletic director, marks his fortieth year at the University. He joined the staff in 1922 as football coach and instructor in health and physical education . In 1939 he became an associate professor and in 1947 took over the athletic director's position. The University stadium bas been named Baujan Field in honor of the Notre Dame graduate. Father Edwin Weber, long-time director of the Marianist Promotion Service on the campus, celebrates the silver anniversary of his ordination. Father Weber, of the class of 1926, is now subdirector and chaplain at the University's West Campus, and an assistant professor of theology . Brother Paul Machowicz '41 , associate professor and chairman of the department of biology, and Brother Norbert Sturm '40, instructor in English , observe their silver jubilees of religious profession. Brother Machowicz has been on the faculty since 1957, and Brother Sturm since 1960. Profs. Joseph Chamberlain and Daniel Leary have completed twenty-five years on the faculty. Prof. Chamberlain came to the University in 1937 as an associate professor of civil engineering, and was advanced to the rank of professor in 1948. Dr. Leary joined the faculty in the same year, 1937, as a professor of education, and became director of student teaching in 1951. On hand at the annual President's Dinner to help Dr. Leary celebrate his silver jubilee was a host of critic teachers from Dayton schools with whom he has worked through the years. Another Marianist at the University also is a jubilarian . Brother Maximilian Beyer, now in retirement at the University Health Center, spent almost all his seventy-five years as a Marianist in elementary and secondary schools around the country, but was never officially a member of the U .D . faculty. To all the jubilarians, best wishes from all alumni!

,'

PATRIOTIC BRUSHFIRE. The image of a brushfire out of control springs to mind. More forcefully the near tragedy of bombing incidents in the homes of two California ministers caused all Americans to wonder. If we look back to the fall of 1961 there was little reason to suppose that somehow the Dayton area would escape the rash of intemperate expressions, name calling, rock throwing, and general distrust which brushfire-like was about to singe civic communities not far from Dayton. Of course the greatest irritations were far from Dayton. They seemed to form in communities where the spirit of rugged individualism remained a characteristic, where farmers smoldered under increasing governmental control, where military personnel chaffed under the uncomfortable restraints imposed by civilian bureaucrats, and where big business ground its teeth under tax laws that sometimes seem to swallow live the whole fish before business had its catch off the line. The areas which were hardest hit were in or contiguous to Texas and California, but brushfires have no way of limiting themselves to state boundaries. Several centers not far removed from Dayton seemed to be burning determinedly. The object of this purification by fire was the communist in our midst, the traitor, the socialist who had infiltrated our governmental bureaucracy, the pacificist, the members of the supreme court, the chief executive, and anyone who intended not to side against them. It was in November that a firemen's meeting was called in Dayton - it was an exploratory meeting, a brainstorming session without clear format, an exchange of information, and an a!ert to the dangers which might descend upon our local community at any moment. Participants carried no banner and no vote, but the principal elements of the Dayton community were there: local big business, local

10

journalism, local religion, and local education. Unofficial but responsible members of Jewish, Protestant, and Catholic faiths heard the description of uneasiness of religious bodies as fundamentalists seemed to be seizing the communications of the communities to shout their political wares. Representative newsmen heard how their media and radio and TV were being usee;! to stir up the flames by headlining the smear of the moment. Big business heard how, under guise of patriotism, industry was being invited to underwrite schools of anticommunism which had strongly negative and emotional elements, and little positive or constructive action coming from them . Educators heard how the indignation connatural to youth was being exploited to back super-patriotism, super-nationalism, super-individualistic solutions to highly complex social problems. The round robin plodded and soared, it dug and exploded, it swerved and caromed. No punches were pulled, unti l at last the fire fighters donned their helmets and prepared for action. Without a special plan, the meeting served as an alert: local big business would weigh well the appea l to patriotic study days, before supporting the ignition of a giant firecracker; education would have to ask- whence this philosophy of individualistic smear? communications would ask twice, why this announcement or this broadcast, and what will be its social influence? industry would ask, why this economic liberalism with anti-governmental bias? The firemen were not neatly organized, but they had established a sense of danger to the civic community. They did not all wear the same fireman's uniform, but their minds were one in this: if the welfare of the community

I J

demanded an alert, then responsible citizens had to use every ethical means at their disposal to sound the danger. To the extent that the extremism was real and viable, wellsupported financially and led by articulate leadership. to this extent it would have to be met by concerted effort, from as many approaches as possible. The plan without a name went into effect: from each area responsible spokesmen put forth their impressions of the new patriotism, their analysis of the validity of the attacks on our public servants, their judgment of the political theory underlying the extremist, and their suggestions for coping with the same. Perhaps most subtle to pin down was the one generally-consistent social philosophy which was animating the various manifestations: this attitude would be the problem of the educator and the minister of religion, of the political scientist and the philosopher. This attitude -or syncretism of attitudes - will be the last to die, as it lies deep at the root, protected by many layers of protective overgrowth. The brushfires were beaten down - the roots continue to smolder. Fortunately D ayton was spared, or apparently it has been spared for the moment at least. In retrospect it must be said to have been a community victory. It was the victory of the community over the forces of discord and disunity, over prejudice and shallow misinformation, over distrust and suspicion. Putting aside the most fundamental question of the social philosophy which is involved, were there specific issues of misunderstanding which will need continued explanation? It would seem that there were three basic confusions, at least, and that we can expect these to reappear as certainly as a tree puts forth new buds each year. These three misunderstandings were 1) the confusion over the nature of communism, 2) the relation of religion to the state, and 3)

the magnitude of the social problems which were being faced. Let us glance at each of these: The current or recently-current hysteria over communism almost invariable identified social legislation as "a form of socialism"- it lacked enough depth to see that socialization is not socialism, and that in fact the effect of one is destructive to the other. Socialism is a nineteenth century development, which suggested that the State could take care of the material needs of all men better than any other agency; it subtly suggested that man as creature of the State had no rights, at least no property rights, and that state-control of production was preferable to private enterprise. Our extremists resentful of big government and distrustful of all men who would participate in the same, confused social legislation - which assures rights to men- with socialism, which destroys these rights. Any legislation which seemed to suggest that the State had the obligation to assure the common good was viewed not with wariness but with disdain. It was presumed that every virtuous man would be able to take care of all his own needs. The confusion of social legislation and socialism did not need to go far to include communism, which is in reality a violent form of socialism. The agitation about communists in our government begins to make sense only when one realizes that in troubled minds every politician in favor of social legislation had suddenly become a "communist" of "comsymp" (communist-sympathizer). There were hundreds of them - they had infiltrated the upper courts, favored civil rights (even of communists), infiltrated the Churches which taught the social gospel of love of society as the image of God, infiltrated the schools of law and education which suggested that government and law should serve the common good.

The first confusion was to place socialization and socialism in the same pot - the second was to confuse the function of religion with the function of the temporal order, to suggest tbat religion has a direct function in the political sphere. To place this question in more traditional terms, the confusion brought Church and State into one sp~re and beat the batter into a hopeless homogeneity. The sacral order tried to force the formula in the secular sphere, and as history bears witness, such a formula is formed from incompetence and, solving nothing, confused the issues beyond recognition. The fundamentalist theology from which the rightist movement sprang offered pat formulas for dynamic and explosive situations which need fluidity of disposition and an adaptibility that the mentality of fundamentalism can never know. The notion that religion has an indirect role in the temporal sphere seems to be a truth which bas not yet reached to the ranks. The third confusion is closely associated with the confusion of religion and politics: it is the confusion of competences. As the order of the state is not the order of religion, so too the competence of the layman is not identical with the competence of the clergyman. In a day of rudimentary education it may have been necessary for the preacher to tell his congregation that the men should join the army to fight tyranny, or slavery, or what have you. As the development of specialized education moved forward, the authority of the cleric may gradually withdraw more and more to the sacral. The layman must be called upon and expected to make decisions within his competence as a layman, that is, in the teniporal order. Then be must be expected to implement these decisions. The recent confusions saw a variety of ministers who were right in condemning communism but quite wrong in telling us how the government is to fight it.

12

The layman's decision for the order of politics is not one made independently of religion - this decision is made upon the clear notions that religion provides within its own competence, that is, in the sacral order. As we are progressively able to distinguish the finality of state from that of church, we shall also expect clearer distinctions in their respective areas of competence: the citizen must make his own decisions regarding the temporal order precisely where they affect him most- in the practical order where he must also carry them out. His decisions in last an&lysis must have theological implications, and it is his sacred funttion to integrate these religious truths with the temporal order. In sum, the modem Christian layman must form his judgments from both faith and reason, from the principles of religion and of philosophy of politics. He can do so only when he is committed to a political program and active in seeking the information needed for prudent judgment. He can do so only where he is properly informed. The program for peace and order in Dayton bas been temporarily successful-its continued success depends upon the willingness of every citizen to alert himself and to inform others, not to mention that he must learn to collaborate with them. Historically our American united colonies based their common action on the principle of federation, or cooperation, which supposes trust in the good intention of neighbor and institution to work harmoniously for the common welfare. This principle is being challenged across the nation under guise of patriotic action against communism. Only a response which is informed and competent will be able to efficaciously calm man' permanent disposition to seek the facile solution. Dayton bas set a pattern which may well be used across the nation. If the brushfires return, we shall be able to cope with them.
