AT&T Stadium

... Notre Dame on the road. It’s really difficult to write anything more about the Cotton Bowl. But if I had to say something I would say, “The stadium was really nice.”

On assignment.

Haag: Always a listener, first time caller

Taking a break from Christmas Break, Fr. Ralph went to Dallas to oversee Cotton Bowl festivities. Gearing up for Friday’s show at the Dallas Convention Center, Fr. Ralph managed to make a visit to SMU’s campus and tour the presidential library of George W. Bush. While there, Fr. Ralph made a surprise phone call to an unnamed Stedsman, asking him if he still believed in an Irish win this Saturday. On the phone call, Haag said, “We had a really great call. It was the best phone call ever, really. It was beautiful. It reassured me in something that I have known for some time now... we’re going to see a great Irish win!”

Go Irish!

Merry Christmas

The Main Building's Christmas Tree

To all Gentlemen, family, friends, and all lovers of St. Edward's Hall, Merry Christmas! May the Christ Child guide you all to happiness and peace this Christmastide and throughout the New Year! Merry Christmas!

Twas the night before...

Somewhere then Steds

Christmas, when all through the Hall not a creature was stirring- not even a mouse on the third floor! That's really the case, and the mouse in the picture is from another residence hall which shall remain anonymous. Enjoy your Christmas Eve!

Saturday Squirrel

Stand down- we got security covered 

While students are off breaking here and there, campus has absolutely no activity. Should students worry? Is the vacant campus now a target for crime? Will rooms be pillaged and ransacked by bulgars? Perish the thought! While NDSP have things well in hand, there is an extra level of campus security- squirrel squad. Yes, our furry friends know their own, and if you are not one them, then they’ll ask you kindly to move on. On seeing a stranger, this squirrel non-verbaled, “Can I see your campus pass?”

Best of...

...the Gentlemen's Monthly. Yes, four years ago today, here was today's posting. What are these three pouring these days? Enjoy this blast from the past.

That last push...

But did Frank really drink that egg nog?

...before the end of Finals Week. Vaishnav, Kevin, and Frank, Steds sophomores, take a break during the Hall's 10pm study break, the third of the week. Enjoying the oasis of the Krispy Kreme doughnuts, Christmas cookies, and egg nog, Stedsmen were all were smiles until the break was over, and it was back to studying. Good luck to all our Stedsmen!

And suddenly...

A sunny, but cold, view of the HomeSteds

...it was quiet. Today marks the first day of the Christmas Break. With residence halls and most other buildings now closed, an eerie silence has descended upon campus. But, don’t worry. All throughout the break, we will continue to bring you, every other day, the life and times of St. Edward’s Hall.
