May studies here during the unfolding years bring growing radiance to the light of scientific learning enkindled at Notre Dame by Fathers[ Alexander M. Kirsch](https://voiceofmoreau.org/2020/11/25/1337/) (1855-1923) and [Francis J. Wenninger](https://www.jstor.org/stable/2420666) (1888-1940), Priests of Holy Cross, Teacher-Scholars in the Life Sciences, Deans. They have sown the seeds of learning which through years of patient growth give rich yield: thirty-fold, sixty-fold, a hundred-fold.
