In the context of Father Hesburgh and Father Joyce, explain the Acquisition of the Historical information.
After sculptor Lou Cella constructed the piece in his studio in Highwood, IL, his team from the Rotblatt studio helped to install the sculpture in its current location. The exact commission Cella received for this particular project is unknown, but publicly accessible commission values have ranged from $62,000 for a bronze sculpture of Orville Redenbacher to over $100, 000 for his bronze depiction of Chicago White Sox player Paul Konerko.The statue was formally presented to Notre Dame on Saturday, Oct. 22, 2005 at 9:45 a.m before a home football game on behalf of the University’s Class of 1953. Cella and his uncle both attended the ceremony. The Class of 1953 was the first class to graduate under the leadership of both Father Hesburgh and Father Joyce, and the sculpture was presented at their 50th reunion. Notre Dame’s president, Rev. John Jenkins, gave a blessing at the ceremony, accompanied by a speech from a representative of the Class of 1953. Members of the class were integral in the process of judging the competition to choose the sculptor of the project.
The competition was instigated after a 3rd party outside the commission wanted to do something to commemorate the two figures and approached the board. The competition held two rounds because in the initial round, the committee was not happy with any of the submission ideas, so they re-initiated the competition with a more specific directive. In this second round, they asked for submissions of 2-feet tall miniatures - known as maquettes - cast in resin and painted over to simulate bronze. 
Cella stated, “they got a taste for different artists and sculptures styles. The Class of ‘53 was central to the competition. When a committee gets involved, they can decide anything for any particular reason, so I was incredibly honored to have been chosen.”
Cella reminisced that a senior member of the committee had said to him that “I had caught a particular look in Father Hesburgh’s eye in a way that reflected him perfectly” because Father Hesburgh was known to always be “looking forward to helping new people and solving future problems.” Cella additionally noted, “It’s a challenge in miniature pieces [to capture a look like that], and to get that compliment meant a lot.”
