The dream of a b2tter life for underprivileged boys is well on its way to becoming a reality. The Knute Rockne Memorial Academy, San Diego Boy's Foundation, dedi- j j cated to the memory of the immortal football coach of Notre Dame university, J l will be erected on a SO-acre site in El Cajon valley and will be the consum- I ! I j mation of a dream for which Bishop Buddy has worked many years. J I ·_1 .1 · It will provide a course in technical arts for boys and will be supported by ! I j j public subscription. Work will begin as soon as labor and material are avail- j J J able. I I I i J j "B::>ys, especially those who never had a chance, are one of my main I J i interests in life," Bishop Buddy has declared. "Inspiration and encourage- J J J men! have come from my very good friend, Father Flanagan, whose inimitable J J J Boys' Town, near Omaha, earns him the respect and gratitude of a ll in this J l I I J j country. j I j "It is not our intention to copy Father Flanagan's formula but I admit freely i I i I j j that a goodly number of our plans have sprung from his phenomenally sue- j J J cessful work with boys. Knute Rockne Academy will b2 essentially constructive J j i and American in all its doctrines. I I I I "Many names were suggested," Bishop Buddy continued, "and all were J J worthy of deep consideration. In choosing the name of Knute Rockne we took J I J I into consideration that, through his example and all-around courage, in and J 'I ·, i ·1 ' out of adversity, he has proved an everlasting inspiration to the youth of '1 I I I J J America." i i ·_·, I I I · Permission to use the name of the famous coach was given both by Mrs. ·1 ·, I ! - . J J Bonnie Rockne, his widow, and by Father Hugh O'Donnell, C.S .C., president of j J · J the University of Notre Dame. They joined in sending Bishop Buddy a mes- i J j J sage of appreciation for the honor conferred upon their beloved "Rock." I J l l l I I l -C.C. I I I !
