  • Father Ted's Obituary
    For Immediate Release Feb. 27, 2015 Father Theodore Hesburgh of Notre Dame dies at age 97 Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., president of the University of Notre Dame from 1952 to 1987, a priest of the Congregation of Holy Cross, and one of the nation’s most influential figures in higher education, the Catholic Church, and national and international affairs, died at 11:30 p.m. Thursday (Feb. 26) at Holy Cross House adjacent to the University. He was 97. “We mourn today a great man and faithful priest who transformed the University of Notre Dame and touched the lives of many,” said Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., Notre Dame’s president. “With his leadership, charisma and vision, he turned a relatively small Catholic college known for football into one of the nation’s great institutions for higher learning. “In his historic service to the nation, the Church and the world, he was a steadfast champion for human rights, the cause of peace and care for the poor. “Perhaps his greatest influence, though, was on the lives of generations of Notre Dame students, whom he taught, counseled and befriended. “Although saddened by his loss, I cherish the memory of a mentor, friend and brother in Holy Cross and am consoled that he is now at peace with the God he served so well.” In accord with Father Hesburgh’s wishes, a customary Holy Cross funeral Mass will be celebrated in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at Notre Dame in coming days for his family, Holy Cross religious, University Trustees, administrators, and select advisory council members, faculty, staff and students.

Blantz C.S.C. Summary Thomas Blantz’s monumental The University of Notre Dame: A History tells the story of the renowned Catholic university’s growth and development from a primitive grade school and high school founded in 1842 by the Congregation of Holy Cross in the wilds of northern Indiana to the acclaimed undergraduate and research institution it became by the early twenty-first century. Its growth was not always smooth—slowed at times by wars, financial challenges, fires, and illnesses. It is the story both of a successful institution and of the men and women who made it so: Father Edward Sorin, the twenty-eight-year-old French priest and visionary founder; Father William Corby, later two-term Notre Dame president, who gave absolution to the soldiers of the Irish Brigade at the Battle of Gettysburg; the hundreds of Holy Cross brothers, sisters, and priests whose faithful service in classrooms, student residence halls, and 9780268108212 across campus kept the university progressing through difficult years; a dedicated lay Pub Date: 8/31/2020 faculty teaching too many classes for too few dollars to assure the university would $49.00 survive; Knute Rockne, a successful chemistry teacher but an even more successful Hardcover football coach, elevating Notre Dame to national athletic prominence; Father Theodore 752 Pages M.

HAHN BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA MAY 2012 ACKNOWLAGMENTS I could not have completed this project alone. I must thank Dr. Stephan for his continuous guidance and sharp editing eye. Without his help and direction this project would have floundered. I also have to thank the archivists at Saint Mary’s College Archives and the Congregation of the Holy Cross Archives, who helped me find the primary sources that gave this study its depth. In addition, I must thank those closest to me who helped in all of the small (and some large) ways that can never be fully enumerated. To my mom and dad, who provided me not only with necessities, but also with constant support and encouragement, I am forever grateful. To my extended family whose constant questions and at times nagging, helped motivate me to finish this project. To my friend, Melissa Estes, who read draft after draft, listened to my crazy ideas at midnight, who encouraged me and patiently listened to my whining, I wouldn’t have gotten here if you hadn’t constantly reminded me that I could do this. And to all the other friends, Jess, Julie, Erin, Abby, Courtney, and Delia all of whom provided moral support, cookies, and mixed CDs during the writing process, I’m so lucky to have you and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

  • Notre Dame Athletics Department
    NOTRE DAME WELCOME TO NOTRE DAME The interior of the golden-domed Main Building on the Notre Dame campus was closed for the 1997-99 academic years as it underwent a renovation. The facility was rededicated in ceremonies in August of ’99. It also underwent a $5 million exterior renovation, which included the cleaning and repair of the 4.2 million bricks of the facility, in 1996. The University of Notre Dame decided, however, was precisely the type of institution Notre Dame would become. How could this small Midwestern school without endowment and without ranks of well-to-do alumni hope to compete with firmly established private universities and public-sup- ported state institutions? As in Sorin’s day, the fact that the University pursued this lofty and ambitious vision of its future was testimony to the faith of its leaders — leaders such as Father John Zahm, C.S.C. As Schlereth describes it: “Zahm… envisioned Notre Dame as potentially ‘the intellectual center of the American West’; an institu- tion with large undergraduate, graduate, and profes- sional schools equipped with laboratories, libraries, and research facilities; Notre Dame should strive to become the University that its charter claimed it was.” Zahm was not without evidence to support his faith in Notre Dame’s potential. On this campus in 1899, Jerome Green, a young Notre Dame scientist, became Notre Dame’s founding can perhaps best be charac- University’s academic offerings.
