  • A Light in the Darkness Notre Dame Community Responds to a Catastrophe
    SUMMER 2010 VISIONS ACADEMY of NOTRE DAME de NAMUR A Light in the Darkness Notre Dame Community Responds to a Catastrophe A Long Way From Home Foreign Exchange Program Launches Strategic Plan: Vision, Values & Promise Notre Dame’s Five-year Plan for the Future FROM THE PRESIDENT DEAR MEMBERS OF THE NOTRE DAME COMMUNITY, I LIKE TO READ NOTRE DAME’S MISSION STATEMENT FREQUENTLY because it provides the compass against which everything we do is measured to make sure we are exactly on point. The very first line of this statement reminds us that our primary commitment is to educate our young women "for responsible living in a global society." It is increasingly critical that Notre Dame young women learn how the larger world works, and that their education and faith will provide guidance for their understanding of the crucial and complicated issues of the day. Just as Saint Julie Billiart educated her students for their futures in post-revolutionary France, we need to ensure that our students are prepared to become citizens of this world. Our goals are the same: to teach our young women to become discerning, thoughtful, compassionate and courageous. In this issue of Visions you will learn about the inauguration of a foreign exchange program with a school in Spain and the Notre Dame community's compassionate response to the tragedy in Haiti, two examples of our girls’ reach well beyond the gates in Villanova. You will be proud of these young women! Finally, I invite you to read the Academy’s new Strategic Plan: Vision, Values & Promise .

The locker room renovation was made possible via a substantial leadership gift from James C. Metzger ’83. The renovation included the installation of 48 new lockers, a remodel of the bathroom and shower area, and new carpeting and flooring. Hollman, Inc., a leading manufacturer of collegiate lockers, designed and installed the new custom lockers, constructed specifically for use with lacrosse as they feature space to hold multiple helmets, sticks and are equipped with a phone charging station and cushions for comfort. Milburn Flooring oversaw the installation of the new flooring. In addition to his profound gift, Metzger also led a matching gift campaign for alumni of the program to have one of the lockers named in their honor. Each locker is named in honor of a Pride men’s lacrosse alumnus and Metzger matched each gift for all 48 lockers.

  • Logan High School
    LOGAN HIGH SCHOOL WALL OF FAME INDUCTEES Burton Smith – 1985 February, 1889 – November, 1975 Burton Smith was a Logan High School Industrial Arts teacher from 1921 to 1960. His life-long interest in students inspired him to start the Sea Scouts, a group which remained active from 1928 to 1949. A scholarship fund in his name was estab- lished for Logan students entering the field of Industrial Arts. John “Boots” Halseth – 1985 May 10, 1929 – June 16, 1984 Although he was never a student at Logan High School, John “Boots” Halseth will be remembered as one of Logan’s most devoted fans. He represented the true spirit of Logan, and his dedication and enthusiasm for the school and its young people were an inspiration to everyone who knew him. “Boots” is still showing his Logan spirit through the Halseth Schol- arship, which was established by his estate. Russell G. Cleary – 1985 After graduating in 1951, Russell Cleary attended UW-La Crosse as a pre-law student and received his Doctor of Law de- gree from UW-Madison in 1957. In 1969, he was named as one of the 100 outstanding young men in America. Cleary, a director of several corporations, has served La Crosse as President and Campaign Chairman of many associations. Major Chester L. Britt – 1985 June 13, 1915 – July 6, 1953 Chester Britt graduated from Logan High School in 1933. He attended West Point Military Academy from 1936 to 1940 and was commissioned 2nd Lt. Regular Army on June 11, 1940. He was captured by the Japanese when Corregidor Island fell, incarcerated in Japan as a Prisoner of War for 3 ½ years, and then retired from the Army in 1950.

  • A History of the Presentation of American Football in England and Germany
    FROM VIOLENCE TO PARTY: A HISTORY OF THE PRESENTATION OF AMERICAN FOOTBALL IN ENGLAND AND GERMANY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lars Dzikus, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Melvin L. Adelman, Adviser Professor Sarah K. Fields Adviser Professor William J. Morgan College of Education ABSTRACT While scholars have widely discussed the cultural, economic, and political influence of the United States on Europe in general and Germany in particular, the realm of sports has received surprisingly little attention. This study ties in with the scholarly debate about Americanization and / or globalization that started in the first half the 1990s. It examines the presentation of American football in England from the 1890s through World War II as well as in Germany following the war to the present day. The study discusses what non-Americans wrote about football and what their countrymen and –women read about it. The study draws on English and German newspapers and magazines, particularly the London Times and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. It also examines the role American military, radio, television, and movies played in the diffusion of American football. In the case of Germany, the researcher draws on extensive qualitative interviews with several of the “founding fathers” of American football in Germany as well as his own experiences in the sport. The work demonstrates that American football arrived in Germany on a field that had been prepared by a three-hundred-year process of imagining Amerika.
