Love thee

Letter to the Editor | Friday, March 20, 2020

I remember the first time I sang the Notre Dame Alma Mater, mostly because I didn’t know it at all. I caught on quickly enough, after practicing during Welcome Weekend and every football Saturday of our first year.

Make ‘tradition’ matter

Observer Editorial Board | Friday, September 5, 2014

The only words used more often than “tradition” on this campus might be “God,” “Jesus” and “Mary.” We cling to tradition. We debate tradition. We love tradition. “But we always play Michigan.

Lesley Stevenson | Friday, August 29, 2014

One of the most hotly contested debates surrounding the 2013 Notre Dame football team leapt once more to the forefront of conversation Monday as team leaders and representatives from student government met to finalize the players’ decision to sing the Alma Mater after every home game, regardless of outcome. “The fact that this decision was not
