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!"
