American, not Roman

Letter to the Editor | Monday, May 1, 2017

I value the democratic process. I think the type of government the Founding Fathers established in the Age of Enlightenment is something to be marveled at as well as protected. The beauty in the government they created was that it was the amalgamation of some of the best attempts at democratic nations of the past.

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.
