Another plaque for the wall
Founder's Week commenced with "Rededication Day.” Once again, Stedsmen gathered to rededicate the Rededication of the Rededication of… the Dedication of the Gregorian. Originally called the Sorin Society Room, it was forgotten and lost for a number of years. Rediscovered in the early 2000’s when a fake wall was removed, the mural was restored at great cost. Painted by Luigi Gregori- the artist who painted the University's Basilica and Main Building- the room was dedicated to his memory in 2006.
This year’s Rededication saw a reading about the room from the Scholastic in 1884, a phone call from Frank Soler, past hall president, as well as a passionate reading of Dr. Suess’ “Green Eggs and Green Ham” by Christopher Scott. Oh, yes. Thanks to Peter Fink and Colin Vaughan there was a trombone fanfare with the ceremonial ribbon cutting.
On the Rededication, Chris Scott said, “Founder's Week has gotten off to an exciting start, with the Rededication of our beloved Gregorian, affectionately known as the Greg. I am not sure if I like green eggs and ham, but I am sure that all of us, including myself, love the Greg and St. Edward's Hall, our wonderful home!”
Welcome by Fr. Ralph...
...getting serious with the President, Brandon Ryan...
... with Chris Scott (in blue) giving a dramatic resuscitation...
...all in honor of Luigi!
