The dust jacket paradox or: How I learned to keep worrying and love the library

Isa Sheikh | Friday, March 31, 2023

The writing on the wall (of Hesburgh Library)

Claire Miller | Wednesday, October 13, 2021

If the last few weeks have taught me anything about Notre Dame culture and student life, it is that anonymous speech readily embraced by the student body. In particular, much discussion has revolved around the use, and misuse, of Yik Yak, the anonymous social media platform. Then just last week, there were “free speech boards”

The 14th floor

Letter to the Editor | Tuesday, November 12, 2019

The button does not light up. I may press it again and again, and it does not light up. The LCD monitors on the elevators don’t even have an option for going where I want to go. It’s a location that students are naturally forbidden to enter: the 14th floor.  Has anyone noticed how the

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.
