The Notre Dame dorm personality test

Angela Mathew | Tuesday, April 25, 2023

The most ubiquitous Notre Dame bucket list is to visit all of the 32 residence halls on campus. You could rank food sales run by the dorms, go to Mass in each of the chapels or even participate in every dorm tradition (building boats, entering pageants, or even gambling).

Please fix Stanford Hall’s washers

Letter to the Editor | Friday, March 24, 2023

Dear Notre Dame, I live in Stanford Hall. As you may know, our dorm holds approximately 220 students, most of whom wear clothes every day. Usually, when someone wears clothes, they become dirty. What do dirty clothes require? Well, they need to be washed, of course! It is too bad that such a task is

Kathryn Muchnick | Wednesday, November 2, 2022

Most extra credit assignments involve more schoolwork — extra readings, essays or problem sets. Tim O’Malley, director of education at the McGrath Institute for Church Life and associate professor of theology, sets an extra credit assignment that deviates from the norm. In his class, “Nuptial Mystery: Divine Love and Human Salvation,” students get bonus points

Blessed are they who don’t fit

Tom Naatz | Friday, April 17, 2020

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.
