    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.

    The Greene-Nieuwland Herbarium at the University of Notre Dame Robert P. McIntosh, University of Notre Dame The arrival of Edward Lee Greene at the University of Notre Dame in February, 1915 with "bag and baggage" to use his description, was the last stop in the peregrinations of one of the outstanding figures in the history of American botany. Bag and baggage consisted of "a most select library of botanical science of some thirty-five hundred bound books and rare printed documents, together with several hundred unbound; (2) An unique collection of some hundred thousand unmounted herbarium speci- mens, the most valuable ever offered for sale in America, this as being a kind of voluminous reference work which future generations of botanical authors will need to consult for verification of my own published genera and species; (3) A large accumulation of autograph letters from botanists of all degrees of eminence, from both sides of the Atlantic during more than forty years of my own activity in the science." (1) These forty years of avid collecting and prodigious publication began in the mid-west, in Wisconsin, where the young Greene initiated his botani- cal career stimulated by his mother's interest in plants and under the tutelage of Thure Kumlien, a pioneer Wisconsin naturalist. As a nineteen- year-old soldier in the Civil War he wrote Kumlien in consecutive sen- tences of the horrors of war and his interest in botanical collecting; "They lay side by side and probably were both killed by the same merciless bomb shell. I have seen a great many new things in the vegetable world since I left home but it has not been much more than an aggravation to me to see when I could not have a chance to collect anything." Nevertheless, he managed to pursue his botanical interests and later wrote, "I have a book which I keep in my knapsack in which I can press small plants quite well.
