Observer Staff Report | Tuesday, May 2, 2023

Adding a new layer of gold leaf to the 140-year-old Dome and its 17-foot-tall statue of Mary is expected to take five months. The project will begin immediately following Commencement

The golden light

Liam Kelly | Friday, April 28, 2023

My favorite ending to a novel has to be the ending of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece, “The Great Gatsby.” In the final scene of the book, Nick Carraway sits on Gatsby’s beach, looking forth across the bay towards the flashing green light at Daisy’s house. Nick reflects on how Gatsby “had come a long way,

Editor’s Note: Gabriel Zarazua is a graphic designer for The Shirt. It’s the unveiling week for “The Shirt”!

A most meaningful meander

Jack Sirianni | Monday, February 6, 2023

As I step outside after completing a strenuous day of classes, I feel the frigid wind take my breath away in a way that has become all too common.  As I hurriedly struggle to get my gloves on, I see that the sun has decided to make an unprecedented appearance and the sky is illuminated

Directions to the dome

Gabriel Niforatos | Friday, April 16, 2021

I remember my first day of class at the University of Notre Dame vividly. I stood swaying in the blustery wasteland at the intersection of Debart and Fitzpatrick, clutching a note card in my hand with information on my classes and their starting times scribbled frenziedly. I was five minutes late, and despite numerous Google

Burn down the Dome

Gary Caruso | Wednesday, March 4, 2020

My classmates nearly burned the Golden Dome. My class is the unique anomaly in the Notre Dame annuals. During the chaotic Vietnam War era, not only did we attempt to set the Golden Dome ablaze, but we also initiated a strike from classes, which University President Emeritus Fr. Theodore Hesburgh supported. We wore white t-shirts

The road not taken

Stephen Hannon | Tuesday, March 26, 2019

I’ve come to realize that I spend a fairly significant fraction of my waking hours walking — to and from class, the dining hall, the library, etc. I have also realized that it’s easy to fall into a rut when treading the familiar path between my dorm and those buildings. I have quickly figured out

Lacking golden authenticity

Megan Valley | Wednesday, January 18, 2017

At the heart of Notre Dame’s campus lies one of of the most iconic structures on any college campus in the world: the underwhelmingly-named Main Building, better known as the Golden Dome. If I remember what my tour guide said when I was a prospective student three years ago, Main Building didn’t always had such

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.
