Wrapping It Up.

Wrapp or Wrape, I am calling it a wrap.

On assignment at "University's Attic," University Archives on the 6th floor of the Hesburgh Library, Daniel Wrapp, Steds Senior, 3rd floor RA and the Hall's resident Arizonan, was looking for past photos of the Hall and campus when he made a surprising discovery.

St. Ed: I hear that you recently made a surprising discovery at University Archives? What did you discover?

Wrapp: While I was hunting through the stacks searching for old relics, my fedora and bullwhip got stuck on a dusty old tome that revealed a number of Wrapp ancestors that attended the University of Notre Dame without my knowledge!

St. Ed: Wow. You were looking for Archives photos of St. Ed's, and in the process, you made this discovery. So, how many generations have gone to Notre Dame?

Wrapp: Well I was aware that my paternal grandfather graduated from ND in the late 1930’s, but what I didn’t know was that his father and his father’s father were also ND grads! It turns out that there has been a Wrapp under the Dome since 1869, meaning that ND Wrapps actually pre-date St. Edward’s Hall itself!

St. Ed: Really? Wait. This guy’s name is spelled differently than yours… is he really a relation?

Wrapp: Indeed he is. It turns out that the Wrapp moniker has undergone a number of revisions and improvements since we floated over from the Emerald Isle. Needless to say, despite my bias, I think the current iteration takes the cake.

St. Ed: What other secrets do you think University Archives are holding?


Wrapp: I’m playing this one close to the vest, but the next time I head back up to the sixth floor of the library, let’s just say that I’ll be asking some hard-hitting questions about the death of Jimmy Hoffa.
