Being Catholic, being American

the Notre Dame story, 1842-1934

By Burns, Robert

Publishers Summary:
"Being Catholic, Being American: The Notre Dame Story, 1842-1934, by Robert E. Burns, is an archive-based account of the developmental years of the University of Notre Dame. During these years, university leaders strove to find the additional resources needed to transform their successful Catholic boarding school, then attended primarily by the sons of middle-class Irish- and German-Americans, into an ethnically diverse modern American Catholic university with traditions of both academic excellence and intercollegiate football greatness." "Being Catholic, Being American is for historians, teachers, students, alumni, sports enthusiasts, and all those touched by the story of the University of Notre Dame."--BOOK JACKET.
