Ann Marie Jakubowski | Thursday, March 5, 2015

The funeral Mass celebrating the life of University President Emeritus Fr. Theodore Hesburgh on Wednesday afternoon commended him to heaven with the strength of more than 1,000 participants. At the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, where he was first ordained in 1943, more than 100 of his brother priests from the Congregation of Holy Cross

One last smoke

Greg Hadley | Thursday, March 5, 2015

After a full day spent celebrating the life of University President Emeritus Fr. Theodore Hesburgh, students gathered one last time Wednesday to remember him in the most fitting of ways: smoking a cigar. Outside of Hesburgh Library, roughly 600 people gathered following the memorial service in Purcell Pavilion and lit up stogies the same way

Thank you

Letter to the Editor | Thursday, March 5, 2015

To the Students of Notre Dame: I’m sure I will not be only one to write a letter like this. Your tribute to Fr. Ted, lining the route to the cemetery in silent respect, was impressive beyond what words can adequately describe. One hundred years from now, when all of us are long gone, you

Knock and the door will open

Letter to the Editor | Thursday, March 5, 2015

I am from South Bend, and this university has always been a part of my life casting its shadow over me. At first, I dreamed of going here all throughout my childhood, but as I grew older I began to detest the idea of staying home and going to school here. I struggled my freshman

Fr. Ted’s lesson in saying ‘yes’

Molly Daily | Wednesday, March 4, 2015

The first time I met Father Ted, it was by accident — I was in the right place at the right time. I was a freshman, nervously studying for my exams on the first floor of the library, when Fr. Ted’s incredible assistant came into the room. She asked if anyone would like to read

Thank you, Fr. Ted

Observer Editorial Board | Sunday, March 1, 2015

­Thank you, Fr. Ted. By glancing at a timeline of University President Emeritus Fr. Theodore Hesburgh’s life, one can tell he lived it to the fullest. He collaborated with popes. He worked alongside U.S. presidents. He broke the sound barrier, received prestigious awards and served on committees of national and international importance. We would like

Jakubowski on Fr. Hesburgh

Ann Marie Jakubowski | Sunday, March 1, 2015

Fr. Hesburgh, in your 97 years you transformed Notre Dame, the United States and the world. You had the most purposeful and inspiring life I can imagine, and your presence will be deeply missed. I wish there had been a way to watch the news of your death travel with a bird’s eye view, slowly

Hesburgh fulfilled papal appointments

Haleigh Ehmsen | Sunday, March 1, 2015

In his years as University president, Fr. Theodore Hesburgh served four popes and offered advice to the Vatican on matters of atomic energy, ecumenism and Catholic education, among other things.

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.
