For Notre Dame gathers together the important contributions of a
devoted Holy Cross priest to the continuing debate over the mission
and identity of the University of Notre Dame. Read together, these
essays and addresses by one of the most consistent and committed
participants in this ongoing discussion serve to cast vital light
on many of the major issues that Notre Dame has confronted in the
past two decades. Fr. Bill Miscamble's spirited essays in For Notre
Dame cover a range of topics and reflect his multiple roles at
Notre Dame, where he has taught for a quarter century. An
award-winning scholar and a noted teacher Miscamble writes
thoughtfully of the place of teaching and research in Catholic
universities. Crucially, he also is unafraid to explore more
contentious subjects like the composition of the faculty and the
responsibilities of faculty members who serve in a Catholic
university like Notre Dame. Nor has he backed away from the
controversies that have beset Notre Dame in recent years. In this
volume a reader can learn how he courageously addressed such
matters as academic freedom and The Vagina Monologues and, of
course, how he protested the Notre Dame decision to honor President
Barack Obama at its 2009 Commencement. Throughout this engaging
volume, Miscamble's distinctive voice rings clear. His passion for
Notre Dame's Catholic mission is evident on every page. Also
evident is his deep concern for the moral and spiritual well-being
of Notre Dame's students and his deep commitment to the priesthood
and to the Congregation of Holy Cross. For Notre Dame is essential
reading for all those who love Notre Dame and who are interested in
its past, present, and future. It is a book that asks its readers
to reflect deeply about the ongoing struggle to determine the
university's present mission and its future course. Readers -
including faculty, students, administrators, trustees and alumni -
will surely discover through its pages how they too might stand
more truly for Notre Dame.
