A 1917 view of God Quad
...the past. That's exactly what it was for Jack Kill, Sted's freshman, when visiting relatives in the Chicago, when he was presented with a Notre Dame scrapbook. The scrapbook belonged to his great grandfather, Leo O'Donnell, a resident of Sorin Hall and member of Notre Dame's graduating class of 1917. So, thanks to Jack's great grandfather, we will be having periodic "ND flashbacks."
On having such an artifact and a family history at Notre Dame, Kill said, "It's truly remarkable to be in possession of such a wonderful piece of history. Not only does it shed light on some of the history of this University, but it does so in the context of my family history. It is so wonderful to be a part of this institution, carrying the legacy of those who came before us, especially when those include your own familial ties. I'm a big proponent of knowing where you came from in order to understand where you are going. This piece of history adds a very special significant to that idea."
