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
succesful boarding school into an ethically diverse modern Catholic
university. The history of the University of Notre Dame from 1842
to 1934 mirrors in many ways the history of American Catholicism
during those years. For reasons having to do more with football
than religion, most Americans think first of Notre Dame when they
think of Catholic universities. Burns, a former Notre Dame faculty
member and longtime columnist for U.S. Catholic magazine, traces
the emergence of American Catholics from a minority status in
society to the elevation of Notre Dame as a great American
university. He argues that having one of the most successful
college football teams in history helped establish Notre Dame's
popularity and reputation in American culture and history. Burns
keeps the reader entranced with a narrative filled with lively
characters and events. Here we meet Notre Dame founder Reverend
Edward Sorin, the KKK in Indiana, Knute Rockne and a host of other
heroes and cowards, mountebanks and millionaires, all of whom
played a part in the astonishing years covered by this story.
