Spring in the halls of Saint Mary’s

Madeline Law | Wednesday, April 13, 2022

Regardless of the Midwest’s inability to commit to a change in season, it’s officially spring! The birds are singing, the spring athletes are sport-ing and students are knocking on doors in the residence halls of Saint Mary’s. Yep, that’s a certain sign of spring.

Sarah Kikel | Monday, October 5, 2020

Breen-Phillips (1939): Best dressed After the 1940s, Notre Dame’s dorm architecture began an unfortunate descent into a style combining the worst aspects of lego pieces and a slab of concrete.

Davis Gonsalves | Wednesday, April 17, 2019

I sat in the back of a car with three of my best friends in the third hour of a six-hour trip in the summer of 2017. To pass the time, we decided to sit down and rank the dorms of Notre Dame. One letter to the editor later and our creation entered the mainstream.

If a dorm was a city

Davis Gonsalves | Wednesday, January 16, 2019

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.
