Notre Dame got its start when the French-born Father Stephen Badin, first Catholic priest ordained in the U.S., bought several hundred acres around his Indiana log cabin, deeded it to the nearest bishop for a school.

Governor Sorin called on the Jeanne d'Arc's crew for assistance and got it. A salvo from the ship was enough to spread disillusion among the rebels. They scattered and fled. Valentino went into hiding. No one was hurt...
Besides holding concerts which bring out acres of corsages, the music clubbers' conventions involve a more useful activity. Since 1915 the Federation has given some $30,000 in prizes to young U. S. musicians. Winners last week in convention contests were Pianist Samuel Sorin ($1,000 and a chance to play with the Philadelphia Orchestra), Contralto Martha Lipton ($1,000 and a spot on a Firestone radio program), Violinists Bernard Kundell and Marion Head ($250 apiece...
