Remembering Leader E ditorial C artoon

Tuesday, Notre Dame buried one of its great teachers, Bob Leader. His “Art Trads” courses were renowned and over-subscribed. Whenever 1 need to explain Notre Dame to anyone, I use a quote of Bob’s from the early seventies, which appeared in Notre Dame Magazine: “Parents send us their young because they still believe that this is a special place, a place with an intimate chemistry between student and teacher, and between those two and God Almighty. While concerned that their offspring acquire employable skills, these parents trust their chil­ dren will also be marked by encounters with passionate souls who love learning and beauty for themselves and who live the faith of their fathers.”
