5.0 out of 5 stars
proud to be a domer, November 6, 2003
This review is from: Being Catholic, Being American: The Notre Dame Story, 1842-1934 (Mary and Tim Gray Series for the Study of Catholic Higher Education, Vol 1) (v. 1) (Hardcover)
In the 25 years since I graduated I never learned as much about the university as I did in reading this book. Burns tells the story of the university in the way of a grandfather. I was enthralled through the entire story. That is unusual for me but I found his story compelling and the scolarship was outstanding. There were sources that were special. His handling of the Erskine affair was delicate at best. I recommend this book to anyone that is interested in the Notre Dame that extends past the football field.

This is the story of Notre Dame. It is the best rendition of the university's history ever published, and is a must for any member of the Notre Dame family.
