Taking ...

Mackey: "Fixing" to get his study on...

... midterms is not easy work. It requires tremendous energy to focus and prep for one, two, maybe even four or five midterms. And if that wasn't enough, throw in a paper or two as well! Suffice it to say, this output of mind energy requires an input of energy in the form of food, specifically Raising Cane's. A hall favorite, Cane's was served in the Flounge following the Hall Government council. So, attending the hall council meeting, then staying for the energy food and conversation, was a study break in the end. On Raising Cane's for a midterms study break, Kyle Mackey, Steds junior, pictured above with thumbs up, and resident Texan, shared, "Nothing resets your brain more between midterms like some chicken tenders and Cane’s sauce!"

The secret...

Okay, you got my attention...

... is out. In the build up to the showdown with Boise State, NDBarstool made a little ditty where Steds made an appearance. Yes, Steds! In the poking of fun at the blue and orange of Boise, the green and gold of Steds played its part to deliver a laugh and, well, the truth some would say. On the making an appearance in NDBarstool, Ryan Davey, Steds junior, Hall President, and resident Pennsylvanian, declared, "I saw that, it gave me a good laugh. No disrespect to Boise State, but that’s just how the people feel about Yacht Dance.”

... so true!

The best part...

Having a second cup, if you don't mind

... of studying in the Gregorian is Starbucks in your cup! Currently, thanks to generosity of Starbucks's Caffè Verona coffee is now being served in the Gregorian Lounge's coffee machine, and suffice it say, there's a whole lot more studying going on that second floor lounge! There's no doubt that the appearance of this bespoke coffee, coupled with pumpkin spice, has been not only cause for great rejoicing but also a reason to have another cup and do a bit more reading and or reviewing of this or that. On the appearance of Starbucks coffee in the Gregorian coffee machine, Henry Mackie, Steds sophomore, Hall Vice President, and resident New Yorker, stated, "Our donors demand quality, right down to our coffee. Thank you!"

For King and Hall...

... St. Edward's Day! Today, October 13th, is the Feast of St. Edward the Confessor, King of England and patron saint of the Founder... Fr. Edward Sorin, CSC. Since its inception, the University has celebrated  this day as "Founder's Day." Back in the day, students had the day off from classes, "iced cream" was served, games were played, and St. Edward's residents sent "congratulatory" cards to Fr. Sorin. Matter of fact, one lucky resident was selected to recite a poem, especially penned for this auspicious day to Fr. Sorin himself! All of these poems and well wishes can still be seen today at ND Archives at the Hesburgh Memorial Library. On this special day, Fr. Ralph, Rector of St. Edward’s Hall, said, “May St. Edward and the Founder smile on you always and throughout this St. Edwardtide!”

ON THIS SPECIAL DAY... 

It was announced today that Dane Storch '24 is the 2025-26 inductee into the Order of the Gentleman, an award given for service to King and Hall.

On his induction, Storch, former Hall President shared, "The Gentlemen of Steds have done so much for me, most especially giving me the best four years of my life and setting up for success in my life. It has been an honor to return the favor in whatever small way I can, and it is something that I will do for the rest of my life. This induction means a lot to me, and I am excited to see this community continue to grow and flourish. For Hall and King!"

Your Sunday picture...

Good morning.

... from Notre Dame. Here is a view of Mary and the Dome as seen from the west side of St. Edward's just before dawn. Something else that can be seen in this early morning view is the constellation Orion. If you look closely, in the upper left corner, you can see his belt of three stars and the star Rigel. Enjoy, and enjoy your Sunday wherever you may be.
