  “A Legacy of Loyalty"

  During the difficult days of World War II, enrollment at universities
  in the United States had fallen so much that many venerable schools
  were on the verge of bankruptcy. Notre Dame was one of those
  universities. With so many young people going off to war, the school
  was left with few students and even fewer financial resources.

  At the same time, the U.S. Naval Academy was facing a different
  problem—the Navy needed more officers than the academy was able to
  produce. So the decision was made to establish naval training
  facilities at other universities across the country and send young
  people there to attend college and become naval officers. Notre Dame
  was one of the universities chosen.

  As a result, Notre Dame had an influx of students, and several new
  facilities were built on the campus that served Notre Dame for years.
  Many believe that the assistance from the Navy helped save Notre Dame
  during a difficult time.

  Long before the war—and even longer since—Notre Dame and Navy have
  enjoyed a spirited football rivalry. Even during those years when
  Notre Dame was a national football powerhouse and Navy wasn’t, the two
  institutions kept the tradition going in honor of the mutual
  assistance they received during a challenging time. It has remained
  one of college football’s most beloved rivalries.1

  Notre Dame and Navy have played each other every football season for
  over 80 years, but it’s about more than just football. The lesson of
  two football teams bound together over the decades is this: you don’t
  drop your friends.

  When hard times come, and they do for each of us, let us remember
  those who lend a hand, those who lift and help us. Perhaps it was a
  teacher, a coach, a neighbor, or a friend who stepped in to help at a
  crucial time. Let us stay true to them by remaining grateful and loyal
  to their legacy.

  Let us never forget those who helped make the present possible.
