One Out Oflhree Freshmen
Completes Training At LiK
By GEORGE LAWRENCE
Of the nearly eight hundred freshmen who enter the University each
year, only slightly more than
will complete their college
training at this institution. Of those
who leave the University without
completing their course, abut
leave at the end of their first
year.
These facts are brought out in a
thesis written by Frank K. Burgess,
a former graduate student at the
University. The same general proportions should exist now. although
the draft undoubtedly will be a contributing factor in many students
leaving school.
Of those leaving school however.
many are not completely lost to
higher education. About half of
them return to the University later
or transfer to other institutions Of
the reasons given by former students for transfer to another institution, probably the most frequent is that it is more economical
to do so either because tuition is
cheaper there or because the school
is nearer the student's home.
Other reasons given for transferring are that the student has moved
to his former home, thus placfnR
him nearer another college; that
he wanted to be nearer home: that
he liked a smaller college; or that
he received a scholarship to an- other school

Leahy, wavered between a profes- sional ring career and going to No- tre Dame. An
talk by
Knute Rockne and a discussion with
Earl Walsh, his Omaha coach and
an

He entered Notre Dame in 1927
and played under freshman coach
Tommy Mills, who later as head
coach at Georgetown gave Frank
his first coaching job. Leahy got in- to two or three games in 1928 as
center. He was moved back to tackle in 1929. wl ere he played with
the undefeated national champions.
WITH ROCKNE
Leahy received a knee injury in
the
training in 1930 and
he did not play all fall. He helped
Rockne with the line coaching and
spent as much time as possible
watching Rockne and his assistants,
coach the ends and backs. Thus he
gained a knowledge of play at all
positions that, he could not have
absorbed had he competed as a tacafter-dinn-

president, told the Lexington Optimists at a weekly luncheon-meetin- g
at the Lafayette hotel that progress for the University has reached
a saturation point unless larger appropriations are obtained.
"I am petitioning the governor

approximately $100,000 cut from the
budget 10 years ago. and make no
apology in asking for needed funds."
Dr. Donovan asserted. He pointed
out that both Indiana, with two
state universities, and Minnesota,

speaker asked the cooperation of
