The University of Notre Dame du Lac, often called Notre Dame (ND), is a private Catholic research university. It is located in Notre Dame, Indiana. A French priest named Edward Sorin started the school in 1842.

The main campus is 1,261 acres (510 ha) and has a suburban feel. It features famous landmarks like the Golden Dome, the Word of Life mural, Notre Dame Stadium, and the basilica. The university first accepted undergraduate women in 1972. Before that, it was only for men.

Notre Dame is one of the top universities in the United States. It has seven main schools and colleges. Its graduate programs offer over 50 master's, doctoral, and professional degrees. These include the Notre Dame Law School and a special MD–PhD program with the Indiana University School of Medicine. The School of Architecture is known for teaching traditional building styles.

The university offers many study abroad programs. It has a large library system and several museums. Most of the 8,000 undergraduate students live on campus. They live in one of the 33 residence halls. Notre Dame has a huge network of 151,000 alumni (former students).

The university's sports teams are called the Fighting Irish. They compete in the NCAA Division I. Notre Dame is famous for its football team. This team helped the university become well-known in the early 1900s. The football team has won 11 national championships. It has also had 7 Heisman Trophy winners. Other Notre Dame sports teams have won 17 national championships.

Notre Dame became more famous in the early 20th century. This was thanks to its successful football team and coach Knute Rockne. The university greatly improved under Theodore Hesburgh from 1952 to 1987. His leadership increased the university's resources and academic programs. Notre Dame has continued to grow in the 21st century.

Discovering Notre Dame's Past

How Notre Dame Began

In 1842, a bishop offered land to Edward Sorin. The condition was that Sorin had to build a college in two years. Stephen Badin, the first priest ordained in the U.S., had bought this land earlier. Sorin arrived on November 26, 1842. He came with eight brothers from France and Ireland. They started the school using Badin's old log chapel.

Sorin quickly built more buildings, like the Old College. Notre Dame began as a primary and secondary school. In 1844, it officially became a college. Its name was the University of Notre Dame du Lac, meaning "University of Our Lady of the Lake." Since Notre Dame was only for boys, the Sisters of the Holy Cross started Saint Mary's College nearby for girls in 1844.

Early Years and Growth

The college gave out its first degrees in 1849. As it grew, new programs and buildings were added. A larger main building was built between 1865 and 1866. It held offices, classrooms, and dorms. In 1869, the law school opened. In 1871, construction began on Sacred Heart Church. This church is now the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. A library was started in 1873. By 1879, it had 10,000 books.

In April 1879, a fire destroyed the Main Building and the library. The school closed, and students went home. But Sorin and President Corby quickly planned to rebuild. Construction started on May 17. The new and current Main Building was finished before the fall semester of 1879. The library collection was also rebuilt.

From 1881 to 1893, President Thomas E. Walsh worked to improve Notre Dame's academics. He started new programs and invited famous thinkers to campus. Washington Hall was built in 1881 as a theater. The Science Hall (now the LaFortune Student Center) was built in 1883. Sorin Hall was the first dorm with private rooms for students. During Walsh's time, Notre Dame also started its football program.

Becoming a Research University

John Zahm (1898-1906) wanted to make Notre Dame a research university. He built new buildings and added to the art gallery and library. He also collected many books about Dante. However, some leaders thought he was expanding too fast. They wanted to keep Notre Dame a smaller school.

John W. Cavanaugh continued the move towards a research university. He improved academic standards and attracted many smart scholars. He also started a journalism program. During his time, Notre Dame's football team became very strong. In 1917, Notre Dame gave its first degree to a woman. However, few women attended until 1972.

James A. Burns became president in 1919. He made big changes to academics. He adopted a system where students could choose more classes. By 1921, Notre Dame had grown from a small college to a university with five colleges and a law school.

President Matthew J. Walsh (1922–1928) focused on building more dorms. This was because many students lived off campus. He built several new halls, and by 1925, enrollment grew to 2,500 students. Academically, Latin and Greek were no longer required for a degree.

The Rise of Football

The football team, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, helped the university grow a lot. Knute Rockne became head coach in 1918. Under him, the team won 105 games, lost 12, and tied 5. They won three national championships and had five undefeated seasons. Rockne's teams produced famous players like George Gipp. He has the highest winning percentage in NCAA Division I/FBS football history.

Notre Dame's success showed the growing importance of Irish Americans and Catholics in the 1920s. Catholics supported the team, especially when it beat schools that represented the Protestant establishment. This made Notre Dame a target for groups that disliked Catholics. In 1924, there was a clash between Notre Dame students and the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). The KKK was a group that promoted hate. Students protested the KKK's presence in South Bend. President Walsh and coach Rockne urged students to avoid more violence. The students' strong opposition helped lead to the KKK's decline in Indiana.

Growth in the 1930s and 1940s

Presidents Charles L. O'Donnell (1928–1934) and John Francis O'Hara (1934–1939) continued to expand the university. They brought many thinkers and refugees to campus. New buildings included Notre Dame Stadium, the law school, and many dorms. This growth was largely funded by football revenues. O'Hara believed football could show the public Notre Dame's values.

During World War II, Notre Dame offered its facilities to the armed forces. The Navy set up training units on campus. This meant there were only a few hundred civilian students at Notre Dame.

John J. Cavanaugh, president from 1946 to 1952, worked to improve academics. He focused on advanced studies and research. The student population grew a lot during his time. He also oversaw the building of new science halls and dorms.

The Hesburgh Era: 1952–1987

Theodore Hesburgh was president for 35 years (1952–1987). Under him, Notre Dame changed greatly. It went from being mostly known for football to a top university. The budget and research funding grew a lot. Student enrollment and faculty numbers also doubled.

Hesburgh made Notre Dame coeducational. Women had been graduating since 1917, but mostly in graduate programs. In the mid-1960s, Notre Dame and Saint Mary's College started a program where students could take classes at both schools. After much discussion, Notre Dame decided to admit undergraduate women in 1972. This opened the university to many bright female students. Two dorms were changed for women that first year. In 1971, Mary Ann Proctor became the first female undergraduate. The next year, Mary Davey Bliley was the first woman to get a bachelor's degree from the university.

Recent History

Edward Malloy was president for 18 years. During his time, the school's reputation and resources grew fast. He hired over 500 new professors. The academic quality of students also improved. The university's funding grew from $350 million to over $3 billion.

John I. Jenkins took over from Malloy in 2005. He wanted Notre Dame to be a leader in research. He also wanted to connect faith and studies. During his time, the university's funding increased. The student body grew, and many new buildings were constructed. This included the Compton Family Ice Arena.

Jenkins announced that the 2023-2024 school year would be his last. The university's leaders chose Robert A. Dowd to be the next president. He will start on June 1, 2024.

Exploring the Campus

Notre Dame's campus is in Notre Dame, Indiana. This area is just north of South Bend. Edward Sorin began developing the campus in 1843. He and his group built the Old College. Over the years, the university expanded. Today, it covers 1,250 acres (506 ha). It has about 170 buildings and sports fields. The campus is known for its two lakes and seven main areas called quadrangles.

The campus is often called one of the most beautiful in the world. It is famous for the Golden Dome, the Basilica, and its stained glass windows. The Grotto and "Touchdown Jesus" (a mural on the library) are also popular. Notre Dame is a big tourist spot in northern Indiana. Over 1.8 million people visited the campus in 2015–2016.

A historic area of the campus was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. This area is 116 acres (47 ha). It includes 21 important buildings. These are the Main Administration Building and the Basilica.

Main Buildings and Learning Spaces

The Main Building holds the university's main offices. Its golden dome, with a statue of Mary on top, is the most famous landmark. This building was rebuilt very quickly after the 1879 fire. It is on the Main Quad, also known as "God Quad." This is the oldest and most central part of campus.

There are several religious buildings. The current Basilica of the Sacred Heart is where Sorin's first church stood. It is built in a French style. Luigi Gregori, an Italian painter, painted the inside. The Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes is a replica of the original in France. It is a popular place for prayer. The Old College building is now one of two seminaries on campus.

Academic buildings are mostly in the center of campus. McCourtney Hall, a research building, opened in 2016. The Walsh Family Hall of Architecture opened in 2018. Other recent additions include the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center and the Jordan Hall of Science.

The Hesburgh Library is the most important library. It was built in 1963 and holds almost four million books. The Word of Life mural is on the front of the library. People call it "Touchdown Jesus" because it's near the stadium. Jesus's arms look like they are making a touchdown signal.

Dorms and Student Life

Notre Dame has 33 single-sex undergraduate residence halls. There is also a new co-educational dorm for undergraduates. Most graduate students live in four housing complexes. Two new dorms, Baumer Hall (for men) and Johnson Family Hall (for women), opened in 2019. The South Dining Hall and North Dining Hall serve students.

LaFortune Student Center, or "LaFun," is a four-story building. It was built in 1883. It serves as the student union. It has restaurants, student services, and places for activities. A second student union, Duncan Student Center, was built onto Notre Dame Stadium. It has more food places, gyms, and student offices.

Sports Facilities

Notre Dame has many sports buildings. The most famous is Notre Dame Stadium. It is home to the Fighting Irish football team. It can seat over 80,000 people. Other important places include the Edmund P. Joyce Center for basketball and volleyball. The Compton Family Ice Arena has two rinks for hockey.

Caring for the Environment

The Office of Sustainability was created in 2007. It helps the university be more environmentally friendly. This is part of the university's Catholic mission. In 2015, Notre Dame set big goals. It aimed to stop using coal by 2020 and cut its carbon footprint in half by 2030. Both goals were met by early 2019.

The university uses energy-saving methods. It also uses new energy sources like geothermal wells and solar panels. A hydroelectric facility in South Bend is powered by the St. Joseph River. Future plans include more renewable energy. Notre Dame aims to cut its carbon footprint by 83 percent by 2050. It also wants to become carbon neutral eventually.
