Here is an item that will certainly be interesting
to the members of the Class of 1921.
BERNARD CARNEY wrote to remark the dearth
of items in the last issue. "Realizing that this is
an indication of the scarcity of important ne\%-s, I
thought that you might be able to use something
relatively unimportant suck as the item enclosed.
. . ." B. R. was modestly referring to a long
story in the Tulsa Trihtmc telling about his retirement
in September from the Warren Petroleum
Corp. after more than 35 years in the gas industr>'.
Starting u-ith ^ipsco in South Bend, he ""as an
executive of several oil and gas companies, including
Shell and Shamrock, before joining Warren in
1948 as manager of the gas division. At retirement
he headed the gas regulations and residue sales
division. "Perhaps the word retirement should be
in quotes," Bemie wrote, "since I am still busy
on a part-time basis with Warren, and indications
are that I will be occupied for the next year with
^•arious consulting assignments." At least he'll have
more time for such avocations as tvoodworfclng,
geology, American history, collecting firearms and
old books (ND Memorial Library, take note). He
and his wife Maple have a son, Richard, a daughter,
Joanne, and five grandchildren.
CHET GRANT took issue with the squib on
•iim in the Aug.-Sept. issue: "I'd like to have it
Conveyed that my interest in Notre Daroc is not
fully comprehended by 'things athletically Irish.'
The football ordcai is intimately identified, in my
mind, with Notre Dame's incumbent bid for academic
recognition In terms that unfairly disparage
our academic standards and aspirations dating back
at least to my enrollment in 1915 as a twentythrce-year-old
newspaper man. It's true that JESS
HARPER innted me to enter Notre Dame because
he'd seen me play basketball and had heard that
r dabbled in football and baseball. But my No. I
reason for accepting was exemplified by the first
question KNUTE ROCKNE asked me when we
met in the main building just after I had received
my first schedule of classes: 'Who is your instructor
in English I?' When I told him, he said.

'Good — Father Crumley is great with words.* My
listing with the 1921 class, as you know, is an
arbitrary choice, a compromise with my matriculation
in 1913 and my status quo as a perpetual
undergraduate, a matter of unfinished business
over which Notre Dame had no control. . It
doesn't require a scholastic degree to appreciate
that the common denominator of academic and
athletic activity is education, does it? I hope not,
because I want my opinion to bear some weight
when I rate Rocknc and ARA PARSEGHIAN as
educators in the finest sense of the word, including
the ability* to articulate their views and counsel
witli credit to Notre Dame's purely academic
standing.
"In context with the mention of me In the
ALUMNUS Is this remark: 'The spirit of "Bearskin"
may yet haunt the Era ot Ara.* The implication
may be that 'Bear3kin' Is identified with
football success. But I must ask a retraction of the
contextual suggestion that I have ever been Identified
%vith 'Bearskin* in spirit or letter. As In the
past, I categorically deny ever ha%-ing contributed
word or thought to the column signed 'Bearskin* —
that Is, knowingly. I've had reason to believe
Rocknc, the sports editor of the Tribune In the
early 1920's and BOB SINGLER. the butcher*$
son, were involved. IVc no idea who authored
'Bearskin^s' commentary after Rock's death. Any
resemblance between 'BearsklnV obser^-atlons and
mine has been pure coincidental."
