The machine gun method

Devin Humphreys | Monday, November 21, 2022

When I was in Algebra II my freshman year of high school, we were taught a couple of different ways to solve a quadratic equation. A couple have fallen by the wayside (as we law students do not regularly employ math more complicated than the Hand Formula), but I remember two distinct methods that had

Nurturing your nature

Julianna Conley | Wednesday, November 17, 2021

Fall semester of my sophomore year, I was a fixture in the career center, desperately searching for any guidance that might help me choose a major or determine what I wanted to do post graduation. As part of the discernment process, I took a Myers-Briggs personality test (I’m an ENFP, for anyone wondering) to see

Don’t let your education stop you from learning

Nelisha Silva | Wednesday, October 30, 2019

The week before fall break, I had the opportunity to participate in negotiations over a new treaty at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. I flew to New York with one of my classmates early Tuesday morning, and I returned to South Bend at midnight Thursday. I would be missing three full days

Saint Mary’s students re-establish anthropology club at the College

Maria Leontaras | Friday, November 10, 2017

Reasoning, people and Indiana Jones are key focuses of Saint Mary’s re-established anthropology club. Co-president and junior Teresa Brickey said although Indiana Jones wasn’t the reason she chose to start the club again, the fun Spielberg’s character represents keeps her interested in anthropology. “I just think it’s so [much] fun,” Brickey said. “With me personally,

Ask questions

Natalie Weber | Wednesday, September 13, 2017

During our freshman year, my roommates and I lived across the hallway from our RA. We would stop into her room several times a week with questions — about our dorm, Notre Dame in general and occasionally even classes. She always patiently pointed us in the right direction, even if it was the third or

Why colleges need coffee shops

Matthew Williams | Thursday, March 2, 2017

Going to college is an ideal in almost every human culture. As one of the major societal sifts that humans pass through on their way from adolescence to adulthood, college has many purposes. For some students, it provides the skills needed to take the next step in life. For others, it simply helps discern what

Learning to listen at Vision

Erin Thomassen | Thursday, October 6, 2016

Two years ago, I thought I knew what God was calling me to do at the Notre Dame Vision summer program: encourage high school students to explore their faith as a small group mentor, and sing, dance and spread joy as a music mentor. When I learned about the opportunity to give a witness talk,

Pressing ‘1’ for English is a great American value

Courtney Phelan | Thursday, September 17, 2015

A Facebook friend of mine recently shared an image. While I see images shared on social media every day, this one struck me particularly hard. The image depicted a woman holding a phone receiver away from her face and looking outraged, with red text superimposed on it that said, “IM IN AMERICA, WHY DO I HAVE

A love letter to my friends

Erin Thomassen | Monday, February 23, 2015

Some students call their professors their friends. I call my friends my professors. I don’t call them Professor Monika or Professor Steve to their faces. Most of them don’t even know they are my professors. They don’t realize our hangouts are classes and our lunch dates lab periods. This is because I hide my notes.

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.
