A Day...


The Founder would have had fun today...

...in the Park, St. Edward's Park that is. It's true! St. Edward's does not belong to North Quad, God Quad or any quad rather we belong to St. Edward's Park, the green space just east of the Dome and ending at Zahm Cavanaugh. Over time, our fountain and promenade have disappeared, and we had to cede land for the building of Cavanaugh and Zahm Halls, but the fact remains, as does the deed, that the green space south of Hall is St. Edward's Park! And if you argue the contrary, we'll see you in court! So, today, amid games of bocce and croquet and badminton cups of cider and coffee, carrot cake and red velvet cupcakes, and cigars, the Gentlemen of St. Edward's renewed their claim to this small, but cherished, tract of land as they celebrated "A Day in the Park." Of the day, an unnamed freshman said, "If only every hall had a park like us... they too could enjoy the outdoors and have fun. But they don't." 
... watching the gentlemanly diversions played in the Park...

... with much spirit...
... and some skill...
... but there was more for our 21 year olds... 

...with a Senior Afternoon Tea and Chipotle in the Flounge.

Happy Founder's Week, and may the Founder smile on you always!
