After Long Illness
(Continued from Page One)
Given by Notre Dame as a recogni
tion of merit and as an incentive to
greater achievement, the Laetare
Medal award originated in the ancient
papal custom of bestowing the Golden
Rose on a member of the Italian Cath
olic nobility on Laetare Sunday. Its
modern counterpart was inaugurated
at Notre Dame in 1883 when the Very
Rev. Edward Sorin, C. S. C.. university
founder, bestowed the first medal on
the late John Gilmay Shea, eminent
Catholic historian.
Last year’s recipient was Dr. Jere
miah D. M. Ford, chairman of the Ro
mance Languages Department of Har
vard University. Medalists of previ
ous years include prominent states
men, artists, writers, finar :iers, sol
diers, scientists, architects, philosoph
ers, jurists, orators and economists.
