A message of gratitude

lettertotheeditor | Monday, November 21, 2022

Our son and brother James R. (“Jake”) Blaauboer, a sophomore at the University of Notre Dame, died tragically and unexpectedly on Nov. 11. When we arrived on campus to begin making Jake’s final arrangements, we felt that we had fallen into thousands of compassionate arms. We fell and you held us. We humbly and sincerely

Our shared destiny

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, March 23, 2022

I sat on the floor of the shoebox-sized office we were occupying, my hands firmly wrapped around those of my friend. Between sobs, she told me how hard it was for her to be on this campus because she didn’t feel like she belonged.  Shocking me when she said, “I wish I never came to

‘Passion’-ate about Folk Choir

Devin Humphreys | Tuesday, March 15, 2022

“The night is dark, and I am far from home / Direct my feet; I do not ask to see / The distant scene, one step enough for me / So lead me onward, Lord, and hear my plea.” These words, taken from Steven Warner’s interpolation of the classic St. John Henry Newman poem “Lead,

Imposter syndrome of the absolute worst degree

Letter to the Editor | Monday, February 28, 2022

How can I feel less ordinary in such an extraordinary place?  Look — I’m just going to come out and say it straight. Sometimes, (all the time) it is hard for me to feel like I am qualified enough to be at such a prestigious university surrounded by thousands of the world’s most exceptional people.

Letter to the Editor | Tuesday, January 18, 2022

The Notre Dame Band was ready for the Fiesta Bowl: We’d been rehearsing and preparing for the bowl game for months. We were excited to represent our school and play the greatest of all university fight songs for the Notre Dame family. So, we were taken by surprise when, less than a day before most

The spirit of Notre Dame is back

Letter to the Editor | Monday, December 6, 2021

There’s a (new) Magic in the Sound of Her Name …  There is a palpable energy on campus right now. You can feel it. I was able to go over there Thursday for a meeting and realized it was something we’ve been missing for a long time now. What is it? It’s that spirit of

Support from the Notre Dame community

Anna Hurt | Tuesday, November 16, 2021

About a month ago I lost my little brother. He was my Irish twin, not even a year younger than I am. I don’t remember a time without him. Losing him to mental illness shattered my heart in a way that I don’t think I can ever recover from. In the month I’ve been back

Disagreeing as neighbors

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, November 10, 2021

A few years back, Student Affairs invited a student to talk to us about his experience as a gay student in his time at Notre Dame. The young man was poised, confident and eloquent as we hope all our graduates will be. He told us how growing up and experiencing same-sex attraction in a small

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.
