Rev. Hans Zollner delivered this year’s annual Keeley Vatican Lecture Tuesday night at the Eck Visitor Center. The annual lecture seeks to deepen “Notre Dame’s connection to the Holy See by bringing distinguished representatives from the Vatican to Notre Dame to explore questions involving Notre Dame’s Catholic mission.” The topic of his lecture was the sexual

‘There is much work to be done’: Trustee task force report examines diversity, equity and inclusion at Notre Dame

Isa Sheikh | Wednesday, February 23, 2022

This January, during Notre Dame’s “Walk the Walk Week,” commemorating Martin Luther King Jr. Day and building inclusion on campus, University President Fr. John Jenkins sent a campus wide email regarding progress on campus regarding diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.  “The University’s efforts regarding diversity and inclusion continue, guided by the strategic priorities articulated

Inclusivity includes Jews, too

Blake Ziegler | Wednesday, April 7, 2021

As a Jewish student, something I’ve noticed during my time at Notre Dame is that most people don’t know much about Judaism. That makes sense, considering we’re a Catholic university, but it also means a large portion of our community has likely not been exposed to anti-Semitism. The purpose of this column is not to

Catholicism and luxury are incompatible

Jim Moster | Thursday, September 12, 2019

“What Would Jesus Do?”  If you received a Catholic education at a young age, you’ve probably posed this question to yourself at some point in order to make a difficult decision. Abbreviated as WWJD, this mantra provides a universal protocol for making the world a better place. However, by the time we reach adulthood, we’ve

Fr. Jenkins has one hell of a job

Letter to the Editor | Monday, February 11, 2019

These days, as I open The Observer to the Viewpoint section, I often jest, “Ah, I wonder what University President Fr. John Jenkins has done to upset someone today.” Very rarely do I find myself caught off guard by what I find. I get it. This section is literally called “Viewpoint.” It exists for individuals

Response to the Young Americans for Freedom

Letter to the Editor | Thursday, January 31, 2019

A response to the Young Americans for Freedom, in support of the University’s decision to cover murals of Christopher Columbus: YAF’s anger toward what they call “a small, vocal group of the ND community” seems misplaced given the fact that they, too, are a small, vocal group in this community making demands of Fr. Jenkins.

An invitation to join the Knights of Columbus

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, January 30, 2019

Dear Brothers in Christ, I invite you to consider membership in the Knights of Columbus. In the years that I have been involved with the Knights, and particularly in the years since my ordination as a bishop, I have come to appreciate the many ways in which this fraternal order enhances the lives of its

How to make a football team out of saints

Davis Gonsalves | Monday, August 27, 2018

For this project, I want to create the holiest of football teams that can still compete on the field. The anti-Oakland Raiders if you will. I would call this team the Saints but I feel that might be trademarked already. Let’s see who places where: Quarterback: St. Blaise. Blaise is famous for preventing the only

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
