An apology for majoring in both business and liberal studies

Elizabeth Prater | Tuesday, August 30, 2022

This past summer, my friends and I made a joint goal to finish reading the colossus that is “Anna Karenina.” At over 800 pages, this piece of Russian literature is one Leo Tolstoy’s most famous works, second only to “War and Peace.” My friend group and I all started this book at different points of

To mask or not to mask? University professors have the final say

Maggie Eastland | Tuesday, August 31, 2021

Last year, University professors lectured to rooms of half-faced students or two-dimensional squares lighting up the projector screen. This fall, they have an opportunity to dictate their own classroom mask policy. According to the Notre Dame health and safety protocols released this August, there is no mask requirement in the classroom setting. Students always have

Existing in the grey

Ciara Hopkinson | Wednesday, November 15, 2017

I remember the first time I realized things don’t always pan out as we expect. It was junior year of high school, two weeks in, the day I got my first physics test back and had a mini mid-life crisis. For someone who was convinced she wanted to be a famous female engineer for all

So what do you love?

Rosie LoVoi | Tuesday, September 12, 2017

You know the drill when you meet someone at Notre Dame: “Hi, my name is ____, I’m from ____, I live in ____ and I’m studying ____.” We say these things because they’re the traits that define us. In college, one of the most important parts of an individual’s identity is what he or she studies.

Professors instruct humanities class at Indiana prison

Lucas Masin-Moyer | Tuesday, March 7, 2017

During the spring of 2016, Pierpaolo Polzonetti, a professor in the Program of Liberal Studies (PLS), made the 45-minute trip from South Bend to Westville, Indiana, every week to teach a course on opera history.

What is called thinking?

Benjamin Padanilam | Monday, February 1, 2016

“What is called thinking?” Most of my classmates from Philosophical Inquiry last semester would laugh when posed with this question. Asking it became a running joke that stemmed from the title of a series of lectures by Martin Heidegger that we read, as it became a symbol our experience as a group in this particular

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.
