HALL
HISTORY
Originally constructed in 1888 as a residence hall for 50 men; Was constructed
as the first separate facility used as a residence hall because Fr. Sorin believed better quarters were needed to cultivate senior's scholarship; First hall to offer private
rooms through the academic rank room selection process; First
residence hall at a Catholic college to offer single rooms to
residents; Originally was to be named Collegiate Hall, but was
renamed Sorin Hall at its dedication in honor of Fr. Sorin's
golden jubilee; North and south wings added in 1897; Past residents
include: Knute Rockne, Moose Krause, and Heisman trophy winners
Lujack, Lattner and Hornung, and other football legends including
Rocky Bleier and Dave Casper. Also, each of the four horsemen lived in Sorin. Current residence for Fr. Malloy President Emeritus; Residents believe rubbing the right
foot of the statue of Fr. Sorin in the main entrance will bring
good luck. |
