RYAN, '20 Director Adoration of the Shepherds Murillo (Tlie ff^ighliiian ^itmorial Art Gallery, U. offiolrc Dame) This is a subject which Murillo treated a number of times, but never more successfully than in this painting. The glowing beauty of the color and the magic charm of the chiaroscuro shows the master at his best. In the dark of night we see the peasants, men, women, and children, with presen's, gathered :bout the crib of the new-born Savior. Their faces are illumin­ ated by the light which emanates from the body of the Infant Who is the Light of the World. In 'he charming expression of the Virgin Mother the impulse of love risen to ecstasy as she kneels down and adores her Son and her God. The amiable and tender emotions ex­ pressed in the features of St. Joseph and the shepherds are cliarac er­ istic of Murillo's art. (Gift of P.of. James Edwards).

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.

Even though these features are indicative of the preponderance of the belief in the supernatural by some people of the Elizabethan, Jacobean and traditional Igbo societies, Shakespeare and Achebe primarily use the supernatural to represent the states of mind of their protagonists.

  • Tony Latone: the Hero of Pottsville
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 9, No. 10 (1987) TONY LATONE: THE HERO OF POTTSVILLE By Joe Zagorski He came out of the coal mines to play pro football – a shy but rugged individual whose actions did his talking for him. He was a true-to-life hero in a town where heroism meant making it through a 12-hour work day in the mines. His name was Tony Latone. During the 1920's, Latone played for the Pottsville Maroons of the National Football League, competing against athletes who'd earned glittering reputations on college gridirons. Although he never attended college, Tony was considered one of the league's top players. Remembering the balding, Lithuanian-Italian fullback, the late George Halas claimed: "If Latone had gone to college and played college ball, he would certainly have been one of the greatest pro players of all time." In the Anthracite Region of Northeastern Pennsylvania, mining provided rugged men in places like Pottsville, Frackville, and Shenandoah with a way to make a living. Pro football provided early century coal miners with a brief respite from their hard lives. Like most of the men, Latone entered the mines not because he wanted to but because he had to. His father died when Tony was 11-years-old, leaving the Latone family without a breadwinner. Tony went to work in the mines immrdiately after his father's death. The cold, the stench, and the pain crushed many; in Tony's case it turned him into a strong man. "That's how Tony got his strength," said Russ Zacko, the son of the Maroons' number one fan and the one who supplied the uniforms that gave the team its name.
